Abstract

Background: Refillable drinking water is a commonly used source of water for the public. Contamination of this water can lead to various diseases, including waterborne diarrhea. Coliform bacteria and Escherichia coli are indicators of faecal contamination and can cause waterborne diseases. This study aims to determine whether Coliform and Escherichia coli are present in refillable drinking water in Cirebon Regency. Aims: To identify the presence of Coliform and Escherichia coli bacteria in refillable drinking water in Cirebon Regency. Methods: This descriptive study employed purposive sampling to collect six samples of refillable drinking water from six different depots located in Cirebon Regency. Each sample was tested four times using various laboratory tests, including Nutrient Agar, Mac Conkey Agar, Gram Staining, IMVIC, and TSIA. Results: All samples showed the presence of Coliform (100%), as shown by the Mac Conkey Agar test indicating lactose fermentation and Gramme Staining revealing rod-shaped bacteria. However, Escherichia coli was not found (0%) in any of the samples. The results of the Mac Conkey Agar test as a lactose fermenter, Gram Staining showing rod-shaped bacteria, and IMVIC tests showed the following profile: Indole +, MR +, VP -, Citrate -, and TSIA: A/A, H₂S -, Gas +. While Escherichia coli was absent, the detection of other Coliforms suggests persistent hygiene issues; Citrobacter freundii and Klebsiella were found to be Coliform bacteria. Conclusion: No Escherichia coli were detected in any of the samples, but Coliform bacteria were found in 6 out of 6 samples (100%). The maintenance of refillable drinking water depots is crucial for public health. Owners must frequently clean and disinfect the reservoirs to prevent contamination. Additionally, authorities are responsible for regularly monitoring the hygiene and sanitation of these depots.

Abstract

Background: Globally, the number of people with hypertension has doubled, from 650 million to 1.3 billion. The World Health Organization reported that hypertension is responsible for more than 10 million deaths every year. Essential hypertension is a multifactorial condition with genetics as one of the factors. Genome-Wide Association Study has identified several genes associated with hypertension, one of which is the Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) gene. Essential hypertension may be predisposed to by the G8790A polymorphism of the ACE2 gene, which is hypothesized to interfere with the normal function of the Renin Angiotensin System (RAS). Aims: The purpose of this study is to determine whether the ACE2 G8790A gene polymorphism in Cirebon, West Java, Indonesia, is associated with an increased risk of essential hypertension. Methods: This is a case-control study conducted at the Talun Health Center, Cirebon Regency, April-August 2024, involving 30 essential hypertensive patients and 30 healthy controls. The study population comprised adults aged 30 to 72 years. Data was obtained through the examination of blood pressure, DNA extraction, PCR-RFLP with ALUI restriction enzyme, and then visualization of the results with Gel Electrophoresis. The Chi-Square Test technique and the Odds Ratio (OR) computation were used to analyze the data. Results: The G allele was higher in the case group 33 (55%), while the A allele was higher in the control group 34 (56.7%). The statistical analysis showed that there was no significant link between the ACE2 G8790A gene variation and essential hypertension, with a p-value of 0.592 (p > 0.05) (OR = 0.750; CI = 0.262–2.151). Conclusion: The ACE2 gene G8790A polymorphism and the rate of hypertension in Cirebon, West Java, were not significantly correlated. Further research is required on a larger scale to investigate the effects of gene combinations or interactions with other locus genes on essential hypertension.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia still has a significant number of leprosy cases; there was an increase in cases to 12,441 compared to the previous year, which was 10,976 (WHO, 2023). At the national level, the target percentage of leprosy treatment has not been reached; 87% achievement was obtained, while the national indicator target is 90%. Age, gender, marital status, education level, occupation, and leprosy type are among the internal characteristics that contribute to the effectiveness of leprosy therapy. The most leprosy cases in Karawang Regency are found in Cibuaya Health Center, Indonesia. Aims: This study aims to determine the influence of internal factors (age, gender, marital status, education, occupation, and leprosy type) on the success of leprosy treatment at the Cibuaya Health Center. Methods: Observational analysis with cross-sectional design was used in this study with a sample size of 110 respondents at the Cibuaya Health Center. Medical records from patients receiving leprosy treatment at the Cibuaya Health Center served as the sample. Total sampling, a non-probability sampling technique, has been used. The study was conducted in June 2024. Results: Leprosy treatment success was found to be influenced by age (p=0.09), gender (p=0.001), marital status (p=0.012), education level (p=0.001), and leprosy type (p=0.001) in the bivariate analysis using the Chi-square test. However, the occupation factor did not show a significant effect on treatment success (p=0.275). Based on multivariate logistic regression analysis, Leprosy type was the most dominant factor influencing treatment success (Exp(B) = 38.863). The limitation of this study is that it did not investigate internal factors in the success of leprosy treatment by using laboratory results (such as BTA testing) after treatment. Conclusion: The success of leprosy treatment at the Cibuaya Health Center is influenced by age, gender, marital status, education level, and leprosy type. The most influential factor on the success of leprosy treatment is the type of leprosy. However, the occupation factor did not show a significant effect on treatment success. These findings can inform targeted strategies to improve treatment outcomes, especially among high-risk groups such as Multibacillary (MB) patients and the elderly.

Abstract

Background: Findings on a head CT scan could use the midline shift (MLS) parameter to assess the severity of head injury. Midline shift was also known to serve as an indicator that was frequently associated with the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) in head injury patients. A greater degree of midline shift (> 5 mm) indicated a severe head injury that was significantly associated with a lower Glasgow Coma Scale score. The measurement could be performed quickly, although most of the findings that appeared when patients first arrived at the emergency department were generally mild. Aims: This study aims to determine the correlation between midline shift on CT-Scan head and Glasgow coma scale in head injury patients at Waled General Hospital. Methods: This research is analytical observational with a cross-sectional design. The total sampling technique took samples from the medical records of 38 patients out of 81 samples that had been excluded. The study was conducted at Waled General Hospital in June-July 2024 and analyzed using the Spearman correlation test. Results: The results showed that most samples did not show a midline shift with 30 patients (78.9%) and had a GCS score of 13-15 with 22 patients (57.9%). A significant relationship exists between the midline shift on head CT-Scan with the GCS (p = 0.001, r = -0.770) in head injury patients at Waled General Hospital. Conclusion: Most samples did not show a midline shift picture and had a GCS score of 13-15. There was a significant relationship between the midline shift on head CT scans and the GCS in head injury patients at Waled General Hospital. These findings had important implications in clinical practice, particularly in determining triage priorities, predicting the need for surgical intervention, and monitoring patients intensively.

Abstract

This Special Edition of the GHMJ (Global Health Management Journal) presents six diverse studies that reflect the breadth of health challenges across Indonesia, addressed at the 1st Cirebon International Health Symposium (Vol.8, No.2s, 2025). From the clinical field, a study on head injury patients highlights the link between CT-scan midline shift and Glasgow Coma Scale outcomes, offering valuable insight for emergency care (Permana, Royyani, & Ladala, 2025). Complementing this, genetic research identifies ACE2 G8790A polymorphism as a potential risk factor for essential hypertension, emphasizing the importance of biomedical perspectives in understanding chronic disease (Husna, Nauphar, & Pratamawati, 2025). At the community level, investigations reveal key determinants of leprosy treatment success (Sari, Risman, & Affandi, 2025), highlight pediatric tuberculosis risk factors (Pratama, Nisaa, & Ruhyana, 2025), and expose contamination in refilled drinking water (Shonia, Fitriani, & Indrakusuma, 2025), each pointing to urgent public health and environmental concerns. Meanwhile, attention to medical education is seen in a study exploring how motivation shapes professional identity among medical students, reminding us that building strong health systems begins with cultivating future professionals (Mustopa, Permatasari, & Sulistiyana, 2025). Together, these contributions showcase the Journal’s commitment to advancing integrated knowledge in clinical practice, public health, and education.
