Abstract

Premature Rupture of Membranes (PROM) remains a global concern in obstetrics due to its potential to cause complications such as infections that increase maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. PROM occurs in approximately 10–15% of pregnancies worldwide and 8–10% in Indonesia, often before 37 weeks of gestation, contributing significantly to preterm births and neonatal deaths. Risk factors for PROM include maternal age, parity, infection, and other pregnancy-related conditions. Infection resulting from PROM can be identified through leukocyte count in newborns, with leukocytosis indicating the presence of infection. This study aimed to examine the relationship between PROM and leukocyte levels in newborns at RSUD Drs. Jacobus Luna, M.Si, Bengkayang Regency, using a descriptive-analytic design with a cross-sectional approach and total sampling of 88 respondents. Results showed that among 36 newborns with elevated leukocyte levels, 28 cases (77.8%) were born from PROM pregnancies, whereas only 8 cases (22.2%) were non-PROM. Among 52 cases with normal leukocyte levels, only 11 newborns (21.2%) had PROM, while 41 (78.8%) did not. These findings indicate that newborns from PROM pregnancies tend to have higher leukocyte counts. Statistical analysis using Chi-square showed a significant relationship between PROM and leukocyte levels, with a p-value of 0.000 (< 0.05). In conclusion, PROM is a notable risk factor for increased leukocyte counts in neonates, underscoring the importance of early detection and management of PROM to reduce the risk of neonatal infection and its associated complications.

Abstract

Sweet oranges (Citrus sinensis L.) are rich in nutrients that support overall health, particularly brain function. They contain essential components such as vitamin C, folic acid, phytochemical fibers, and various minerals including calcium, potassium, and magnesium. These nutrients may contribute to the prevention of conditions such as cancer, kidney stones, digestive disorders, high cholesterol, and hypertension. This study aimed to determine the bacterial count in sweet orange juice using the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) No. 3719-20 method at room temperature. The research was conducted as a descriptive observational study. Sweet oranges were purchased from the Amifruts Shop in Pontianak. The juice was extracted and diluted with water at a 1:1 ratio, then divided into five samples and stored at room temperature for 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 hours, respectively. Samples were cultured on LB media and incubated at 37°C for 24 hours to observe bacterial growth, indicated by changes in the medium. Based on the Most Probable Number (MPN) method, two samples tested positive for coliform bacteria, with an estimated bacterial count of approximately 25. It can be concluded that there was some Coliform bacterial contamination at specific times.

Abstract

Pregnancy is a critical period characterized by the growth and development of the fetus, during which the nutritional needs of the mother, including total protein intake, increase significantly. Total protein in the blood comprises albumin, globulin, and small amounts of other proteins, all essential for maternal and fetal health. This descriptive-analytic study aimed to determine the total protein levels in pregnant women attending the Tambelan Sampit Health Center. The study involved 30 pregnant women, including 9 in the first trimester, 10 in the second trimester, and 11 in the third trimester. Data were collected without generalization analysis to describe the condition of the study population. The highest total protein levels were observed in the first trimester (8.2 g/dL), followed by the third trimester (7.3 g/dL), and the second trimester (7.1 g/dL). In the first trimester, 55.6% of participants had normal protein levels, and 44.4% had abnormal levels. In the second trimester, 80% had normal levels, and 20% had abnormal levels. In the third trimester, 81.9% showed normal levels, and 18.1% had abnormal levels. It can be concluded that most of the pregnant women in this study had total protein levels within the normal range across all trimesters. Further research is recommended to conduct a more in-depth investigation of total protein levels during pregnancy.
