Abstract

Gestational trophoblastic disease is an abnormal form of pregnancy characterized by excessive proliferation of trophoblastic tissue, with hydatidiform mole being the most common presentation. Gestational hyperthyroidism is a rare but clinically significant complication resulting from markedly elevated β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) levels that stimulate thyroid hormone production. Objective: To report a case of a complete hydatidiform mole complicated by gestational hyperthyroidism and to highlight the importance of early diagnosis. and appropriate management. Methods This study presents a case report of a 40-year-old woman (G6P4A1) at 9 weeks of gestation who presented with vaginal bleeding, hyperemesis, and palpitations. Clinical examination, laboratory investigations, ultrasonography, and histopathological analysis were performed to establish the diagnosis.  Ultrasonography demonstrated a characteristic honeycomb appearance consistent with a complete hydatidiform mole. Laboratory findings revealed suppressed thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and elevated thyroxine (T4) levels, indicating gestational hyperthyroidism. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination following uterine evacuation. The patient was managed with antithyroid medications, beta-blockers, preoperative stabilization, and suction curettage, resulting in a favorable clinical outcome. Conclusion: A complete hydatidiform mole may be associated with gestational hyperthyroidism due to excessive β-hCG production. Early recognition and comprehensive management are essential to prevent maternal complications. Recommendation: Routine assessment of thyroid function should be considered in patients with suspected or confirmed hydatidiform mole to optimize maternal outcomes.

Abstract

Hypertension is a chronic condition associated with metabolic disorders, including decreased High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) levels and elevated uric acid levels, which may increase cardiovascular risk. Physical activity and dietary patterns are lifestyle factors believed to influence these metabolic parameters, although previous findings remain inconsistent. This study aimed to examine the relationship between physical activity and HDL levels, as well as dietary patterns and uric acid levels, among hypertensive patients participating in the Chronic Disease Management Program (PROLANIS) at Klinik Griya Sehat Colomadu. An observational study with analytic elements utilizing both cohort and cross-sectional methods was carried out with 30 participants chosen through purposive sampling. The level of physical activity was evaluated using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), while eating habits were analyzed through a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) that was substantiated by a 24-hour food recall. HDL and uric acid concentrations were determined using enzymatic methods in a laboratory. The data was examined employing the Spearman correlation test and Fisher’s Exact Test at a significance threshold of 0.05. Findings indicated that the average HDL level was greater in the group engaging in moderate physical activity compared to the one with low physical activity; nevertheless, no significant relationship was observed (p = 0.091). Dietary patterns were also not significantly associated with uric acid levels (p = 0.155). In conclusion, physical activity was not significantly related to HDL levels, and dietary patterns were not significantly related to uric acid levels among hypertensive PROLANIS patients.

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition that is increasingly prevalent and may result in various complications, including diminished kidney function. The management of blood glucose levels over an extended period in individuals with diabetes can be evaluated through a test for glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), while kidney performance is evaluated by estimating the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). This study aims to determine the relationship between HbA1c levels and estimated glomerular filtration rate in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients enrolled in the Chronic Disease Management Program (Prolanis) at the Griya Sehat Colomadu Clinic. This research is an observational analysis with a cross-sectional approach. The sample included 29 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Data on HbA1c levels were gathered from medical files spanning the previous year, while GFR values were determined from serum creatinine levels using the CKD-EPI equation. The analysis of the connection between these two factors was conducted using the Spearman correlation test and the Odds Ratio test. The findings indicated a notable association between HbA1c levels and GFR values, showing a moderate correlation strength (p = 0.012; r = 0.458). The Odds Ratio of 0.370 (95% CI: 0.082-1.667) suggests that individuals with elevated HbA1C levels may have a lower likelihood of experiencing a reduction in GFR; however, this relationship lacks clinical significance. The conclusion drawn is that there exists a significant link between HbA1c levels and the estimated glomerular filtration rate among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients at the Griya Sehat Colomadu Clinic, characterized by a moderate positive association.

Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a long-term condition marked by high blood sugar levels resulting from poor insulin operation, which can cause serious blood vessel issues like high triglyceride levels. The government created the Chronic Disease Management Program (PROLANIS) to encourage healthy lifestyles and enhance the quality of life for patients. The time spent participating is vital since the formation of habits usually takes about three months. The study was ethically approved under number KEPK/UMP/193/VI/2025. An observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach was employed. Samples were selected using purposive sampling. Primary data were obtained from triglyceride measurements, while secondary data regarding participation duration were retrieved from medical records. The results showed a correlation coefficient of -0.026 with p = 0.897 (sig.>= 0.05). The direction of the relationship suggests that longer PROLANIS participation is followed by a decrease in triglyceride levels. There is no significant correlation between the duration of PROLANIS participation and triglyceride levels in T2DM patients at Griya Sehat Colomadu Clinic. Future research should implement more specific inclusion criteria and control for other confounding factors.

Abstract

Hypertension is a chronic disease with an increasing prevalence and may lead to various complications, one of which is cardiovascular disorders associated with elevated cholesterol levels. Control of cardiovascular risk factors in patients with hypertension can be achieved through structured physical activity, such as the Chronic Disease Management Program (Prolanis) exercise, while lipid profiles can be evaluated through total cholesterol examination. This study aimed to determine differences in cholesterol levels based on the regularity of participation in Prolanis exercise among hypertensive patients at Griya Sehat Colomadu Clinic. This study was an observational study with a cross-sectional design. The research sample consisted of 26 hypertensive patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Cholesterol level data were obtained through laboratory examinations, while data on regularity of participation in Prolanis exercise were collected from attendance records. Differences in cholesterol levels based on exercise regularity were analyzed using the Friedman test. The results showed a significant difference between regularity of Prolanis exercise participation and cholesterol levels (p = 0.000), with patients who regularly participated in the exercise having lower cholesterol levels compared to those who participated irregularly or did not participate at all. Most respondents were in the pre-elderly age group with normal body mass index; however, the level of exercise participation varied. It can be concluded that regular participation in Prolanis exercise is associated with differences in cholesterol levels among hypertensive patients at Griya Sehat Colomadu Clinic.

Abstract

Forest of Lemor Botanical Gardens in Suela District, Lombok Island, Indonesia, is known for its rich plant diversity, including members of the Moraceae family, which have important ecological and economic values. Existing records of Moraceae in this area are primarily based on botanical collections from the ex-situ zone, whereas information on species occurring in the in-situ forest conservation area remains limited. Therefore, this study was conducted to explore and identify species of the Moraceae family present in the forest area of Lemor Botanical Gardens. The research applied a descriptive exploratory approach using purposive sampling and the cruise method during field surveys conducted from September to November 2025. Data collection included counting individual plants, photographic documentation, morphological description, and voucher specimen verification. The study recorded sixteen species belonging to four genera in the Moraceae family, namely Ficus, Artocarpus, Streblus, and Morus, with a total of 805 individuals. Among these, Ficus septica was the most abundant species, with 125 individuals recorded, making it the dominant species in this habitat. These findings provide preliminary baseline data that can support conservation management of the area, complement the need for in-situ data, and document Moraceae botanical collections that had not previously been recorded within the ex-situ area of the botanical garden. In addition, the results are expected to serve as a scientific reference and to improve public understanding of Moraceae diversity.

Abstract

The Sungsang area in the Musi River estuary is an important fishing ground that is potentially exposed to zinc (Zn) contamination due to intensive anthropogenic activities. This study aimed to analyze Zn accumulation in mantis shrimp (Harpiosquilla raphidea) and to evaluate its consumption safety. Samples were collected from local collectors and analyzed using flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry in accordance with SNI 2354-13:2014. The results showed that Zn concentrations ranged from 20.24 to 21.27 mg/kg, with an average of 20.70 mg/kg, remaining below the maximum permissible limit established by Dirjen POM (1989). Risk assessment based on estimated intake indicated that Zn exposure from mantis shrimp consumption is within safe limits for humans. Overall, these findings confirm that mantis shrimp from Sungsang are safe for consumption with respect to Zn contamination. This study provides scientific evidence for food safety assessment and underscores the need for continuous monitoring of heavy metal contamination to support sustainable coastal resource management.

Abstract

The absence of a comparative biochemical analysis between stingless bee pollen and Mangifera casturi leaves prevents the optimization of their synergistic potential in diabetes management. This study aims to evaluate the bioactive profiles and compare the antidiabetic mechanisms of these dua natural products. The investigation utilized a systematic literature review by retrieving peer reviewed articles from PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. The selection process followed the PRISMA 2020 framework to ensure a transparent and reproducible screening of literature. Data analysis involved a comparative thematic synthesis to evaluate the correlation between phytochemical groups and glycemic control. Results demonstrate that both materials share homologous flavonoid compounds that improve insulin sensitivity and mitigate oxidative stress. Stingless bee pollen provides superior pancreatic β cell protection while Mangifera casturi shows higher inhibition of carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes. This study concludes that both materials offer significant antidiabetic efficacy through complementary molecular pathways. These findings provide a scientific foundation for the development of evidence based complementary medicine. Future research should prioritize clinical trials to determine the optimal dosage for human application.

Abstract

Liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) can be made from organic waste. The purpose of this study was to determine the physical and chemical characteristics of liquid organic fertilizer made from chicken manure and mustard green waste. This study used a Completely Randomized Design with 5 treatments of combinations of the amount of mustard green waste and chicken manure as follows: P1: Chicken manure 1000 g, P2: Mustard green waste 750 g, P3 Chicken manure 500 g + Mustard green waste 500 g, P4: Chicken manure 250 g + Mustard green waste 750 g and P5: Chicken manure 750 g + Mustard green waste 250 g. The results showed that in 45 days the LOF produced had the following physical characteristics: temperature ranging between 27-29.38 °C, foul-smelling aroma, and color varying from yellowish green to black. In addition, the chemical characteristics were as follows: pH values ranged from 5.53 - 7.96, the content of macro nutrients (N + P2O5 + K2O) ranged from 0.2-0.8% and C-organic was between 0.5-0.8%. Most of the character did not meet the minimum technical requirements by the Ministry of Agriculture Decree number 261 of 2019. Further studies are required to determine better composition of organic matters.

Abstract

Intermittent fasting (IF) and caloric restriction (CR) represent dietary strategies based on energy intake limitation that have been widely investigated for their potential benefits on metabolic processes and brain performance. This systematic review aims to evaluate the relationship and effects of IF and CR on cognitive function and neurobiological outcomes related to brain inflammation in adult populations. Literature retrieval was carried out through the PubMed and ScienceDirect databases using inclusion criteria structured by the PICOS framework, resulting in 10 eligible studies. The analysis showed that several studies reported improvements in cognitive function following IF/CR interventions, which were thought to be associated with enhanced neurogenesis and reduced inflammatory markers. However, several other studies found no significant differences compared with the control groups, which may have been influenced by the relatively short duration of the interventions, limitations in cognitive assessment methods, and the relatively healthy characteristics of the study populations. Therefore, the neurobiological mechanisms underlying the effects of these dietary interventions cannot be fully explained. In summary, IF and CR show promise as nutritional interventions to promote cognitive function in adults; however, the current body of evidence is still heterogeneous, highlighting the need for future studies employing more rigorous methodologies and extended intervention durations.
