Abstract

Hyperthyroidism is a condition characterized by excessive thyroid gland activity, leading to an overproduction of thyroid hormones, namely thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). These hormones play a crucial role in regulating the body's metabolism, and their overproduction can affect various bodily functions. The aim of this article is to provide a comprehensive review of the epidemiology, etiology, clinical manifestations, and management options for hyperthyroidism. The review method involves a thorough analysis of relevant literature, including observational studies, clinical trials, and other related articles, to assess various aspects of the condition. This review identifies that hyperthyroidism is more prevalent in women, particularly with increasing age, with key risk factors including autoimmune diseases, genetic disorders, and environmental exposures. Clinical manifestations vary widely, from metabolic symptoms to systemic disorders, necessitating a proper diagnostic approach. Management strategies include the use of antithyroid medications, radioactive iodine therapy, and thyroid surgery. A deep understanding of hyperthyroidism is critical for effective diagnosis and treatment, as timely and appropriate interventions can improve patient outcomes and minimize long-term complications.

Abstract

The long-tailed monkey (Macaca fascicularis) is a type of social primate which in its life is never separated from social interaction or living with others. Social interactions carried out by long-tailed monkeys give rise to various activities between individuals in the population. Environmental conditions influence the behavior of long-tailed monkeys. In their natural habitat, long-tailed monkeys behave as they should, but in disturbed habitats the behavior of long-tailed monkeys can change. This research aims to determine the daily behavior and home range of long-tailed monkeys (Macaca fascicularis). The methods used are the scan sampling method to determine daily behavior and the minimum convex polygon method to determine the home range of long-tailed monkeys (Macaca fascicularis). Daily behavior has varying percentage values ​​with interaction behavior having the highest percentage value, namely 22%, agonistic behavior at 12%, self-care behavior at 12%, movement behavior at 21%, eating behavior at 16%, resting behavior at 15%, and sexual behavior has the lowest value, namely 2%. The home range of the long-tailed monkey (Macaca fascicularis) has an area of 31 ha, the average daily range is 408 meters, the territory area is 1.5 ha, the core area is 0.6 ha, the maximum radius is 802 meters, and night position shift of 45.8 meters.

Abstract

The aquaculture sector is growing rapidly, but it faces various challenges, particularly concerning the health of fish and other aquatic organisms.This study aims to evaluate the potential of mangosteen peel extract as an antimicrobial agent against the bacterium Aeromonas hydrophila. This bacterium is known as a pathogen in fish and can cause significant diseases in aquaculture. Mangosteen peel extract was chosen because it contains active compounds such as xanthones, which have been proven to have antimicrobial properties. The initial method involves extraction with methanol, followed by filtration and separation using an evaporator. The method used to determine the content of mangosteen peel extract is FTIR analysis. Next, the antibacterial activity of the crude mangosteen peel extract is tested. The antioxidant testing is based on the agar diffusion method. Aeromonas hydrophila bacteria are cultured at a tested LD50 density of 0.05 ml on a TSA plate medium, spread evenly across the entire agar surface with a glass stick. Paper discs with a diameter of 6 mm, previously dipped in crude mangosteen peel extract, are placed on different TSA media. The test is repeated three times (triplicate) to obtain the average inhibition zone (clear zone), then incubated at 29°C, and observations are made of the inhibition zone's development at the 24th hour. The inhibition zone of mangosteen peel extract (Garcinia mangostana) against Aeromonas hydrophila bacteria, measuring 0.2±0.0 cm (20 mm), falls into the category of very strong. This indicates that mangosteen peel has the potential to be used as an alternative immunostimulant in place of antibiotics for the control of Motile Aeromonas Septicemia.

Abstract

Leaching of nitrogen nutrients in urea fertilizer application is a common problem in vegetable cultivation, including mustard greens (Brassica juncea L.). To address this problem, zeolite is added to the urea fertilizer to maximize the nutrient absorption by plants. This study aims to determine the effect of zeolite addition at various urea fertilizer concentrations on the growth of mustard greens and its effect on the efficiency rate of nutrient adsorption. This research is conducted on March up to May 2023 by using a completely randomized design (CRD) with 8 treatments, namely P0 (control, without urea and without zeolite), P1 (2 gr urea + 200 gr zeolite), P2 (4 gr urea + 200 gr zeolite), P3 (6 gr urea + 200 gr zeolite), P4 (8 gr urea + 200 gr zeolite), P5 (2 gr urea), P6 (4 gr urea), P7 (6 gr urea), and P8 (8 gr urea). Each treatment was repeated three times and put inside a greenhouse. The results showed that the combination of urea and the addition of zeolite to the planting medium gave higher values ​​on leaf area, number of leaves, wet weight and dry weight of mustard plants compared to the treatment of urea fertilizer without zeolite and also the control. The P4 treatment gave the largest leaf area (81.61 cm2) and the largest number of leaves (10.33). The P4 treatment also showed the highest results in wet weight and dry weight, namely 115 grams of wet weight and 9.3 grams of dry weight. The absorption efficiency was higher in the combination treatment of urea fertilizer and the addition of zeolite compared to the treatment of urea fertilizer and without zeolite or with the control. Meanwhile, the highest efficiency was found in the P4 treatment at 56.45%. This finding indicates that the addition of zeolite into the fertilizer can promote the growth of the mustard green.

Abstract

Hypertension during pregnancy is a major contributor to morbidity, mortality, and hospitalization for both mothers and their unborn infants. Hypertension during pregnancy can significantly raising the risk of chronic diseases in the mother including heart failure, stroke, and chronic kidney disease, as well as increasing the chance of preterm birth and low birth weight of the baby. This conditions includes chronic hypertension, gestational hypertension preeclampsia, and eclampsia. This paper aims to review existing literature about factors influencing hypertension in pregnancy and the strategies to prevent this conditions. The analyzed literature shows that the high prevalence of hypertension during pregnancy is associated with several risk factors, including body mass index (BMI), maternal age, multiple pregnancies, gestational diabetes, history of hypertensive disorders in prior pregnancies, type 2 DM, and a family history of conditions such as type 2 DM, hypertension, and preeclampsia. Additionally, other factors such as level of education and socioeconomic status also effect the incidence of hypertension in pregnancy. The data were collected through an online search of library databases such as ProQuest, PubMed, MDPI, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. This paper presents an overview of the risk factors and preventive strategies for hypertension during pregnancy.

Abstract

West Nusa Tenggara has a high fauna (animal) characteristic, because its position is on the Wallace Line as an ecological change between the continents of Asia and Australia. Fauna in NTB is spread in various ways according to the existing ecosystem, this happens because there is a match between the type and the environment or place where it develops. An ecosystem that experiences changes in certain conditions can also cause changes in the variety of types. Climate change is one of the causes of changes in an ecosystem. This study aims to determine the impact of climate change on biodiversity conditions in NTB. Research activities were carried out at the NTB Environment and Forestry Service office, the NTB Natural Resources Conservation Center, and the NTB Marine and Fisheries Service, conducted for interviews and data requests regarding climate change and also diversity in NTB. The research method used is purposive sampling. The results of the animal data show that the type already has a small number in NTB so that it must be immediately conserved by the surrounding government so that it does not become extinct due to climate change.

Abstract

Adolescence is a critical phase in physical, cognitive and psychosocial development that can affect mental health. Depression is a major concern in this group, characterized by mood swings, loss of interest, and decreased energy. This article aims to review the epidemiology, etiology, clinical manifestations, and treatment options of depression in adolescents. The method used was a literature review of various related studies. Results show that genetic factors, cognitive vulnerability, and environmental influences, such as family relationships and social media use, contribute to the emergence of depressive symptoms in adolescents. In addition, the increasing prevalence of cyberbullying correlates with high levels of emotional distress and suicidal ideation among adolescents. Treatment approaches include pharmacological interventions, especially SSRIs such as fluoxetine and escitalopram, as well as non-pharmacological therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and family-based psychosocial support. In conclusion, recognizing and effectively treating depression in adolescents is critical to improving long-term outcomes and building their mental resilience.

Abstract

One of the conditions associated with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is low vitamin D levels. Vitamin D has a role in stimulating antimicrobial peptides in various immune cells to create optimal immune function. Immune function is closely related to pulmonary TB pathophysiology, especially hematology changes. This makes the monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) a novel, affordable, and easy-to-perform inflammatory marker in pulmonary TB disease. This study aimed to determine whether there is a relationship between vitamin D levels and monocyte-lymphocyte ratio in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis at West Nusa Tenggara Provincial Hospital. This study was cross- sectional. The study subjects were all pulmonary TB patients in the period 2023-2024 in the inpatient installation who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Statistical analysis was performed using the Spearman rho correlation test. There were 43 samples in total, the majority of which were male (53.5%), in the productive age range of 18-64 years (74.4%), and body mass index in the underweight category (46.5%). The status category of vitamin D levels in patients was divided into deficiency (<20 ng/mL) (69.8%), insufficiency (21- 29 ng/mL) (20.9%), normal (30-100 ng/mL) (9.3%), and toxicity (>100 ng/mL) (0%). The monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) level from the patient's blood test results obtained a median of 0.66 with a minimum-maximum of 0.15-6.09. The results of statistical analysis obtained a p-value of >0.05. There is no significant relationship between vitamin D levels and monocyte-lymphocyte ratio in pulmonary tuberculosis patients at West Nusa Tenggara Provincial Hospital.

Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the joints, with a global prevalence of approximately 0.5-1% of the adult population. Conventional RA treatments often have side effects, prompting the exploration of alternative options. This study aims to explore and review the potential of gingerol, an anti-inflammatory compound found in ginger (Zingiber officinale), as a treatment for RA. The method used was a literature review of 39 relevant articles. The results indicate that gingerol exhibits anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines and modulating inflammatory pathways. In conclusion, gingerol from ginger shows significant potential as an alternative treatment for RA, although further research is needed to overcome challenges in the extraction process and product development.
