Abstract

Background: Air conditioner became a significant factor in indoor air quality. Poorly maintained Air Conditioners can become breeding grounds for bacteria, leading to health problems and symptoms of Sick Building Syndrome, such as headaches, loss of concentration, dry throat, eye and skin irritation, and acute respiratory infections. Aims: Identify bacteria types and count bacterial colonies on Air Conditioning units in the classrooms of buildings A and B at Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Swadaya Gunung Jati, Cirebon, Indonesia. Methods: Cross-sectional study using 16 air conditioner samples from lecture rooms at Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Swadaya Gunung Jati. Direct swabs were taken from the air conditioner filters using cotton swabs, which were then identified using McConkey, Blood Agar, and Nutrient Agar media to count bacterial colonies followed by confirmatory bacterial tests using Triple Sugar Iron Agar (TSIA) and Indol, Methyl red, Vogues proskauer, Simmon Citrate (IMVIC) media. Results: Bacterial growth identification tests identified Bacillus sp., Micrococcus sp., Staphylococcus sp., Streptococcus sp., Coryneform/Diptheroid, Enterobacter sp., and Stenotrophomonas sp.. Highest colony count was 402 CFU/cm³ and lowest was 16 CFU/cm³. Conclusion: Bacterial identification on classroom the Air Conditioner revealed that the microbial community in the system was predominantly composed of Gram-positive strains, which were detected more frequently than Gram-negative strains.

Abstract

Background: Early detection for Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) using pulse oximetry is a routine procedure for newborn. Pulse Oximetry Screening (POS) has been shown to be effective in detecting CHD. Aims: To evaluate the accuracy of POS through sensitivity and specificity in detecting CHD.   Methods: In this meta-analysis, we conducted a search on Pubmed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect for studies that were published up to June 20, 2024. We selected studies that assessed the sensitivity and specificity of POS for the screening of CHD in newborn babies in a hospital or home setting, regardless of gestational age at birth and excluded newborns with a previous diagnosis of CHD. We used RevMan5 software (QUADAS-2: Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2) to assess the quality of the studies included and used Stata/SE 16.0 software to pool the sensitivity and specificity. Results: The results showed that 17 studies, including 413,516 newborns, had pooled sensitivity and specificity of 0.69 (95% CI: 0.57-0.81) and 0.93 (95% CI: 0.85-1.00). Conclusion: This study’s results suggest that POS has moderate sensitivity and high specificity in screening CHD in newborns. It can be concluded that there is a prospective usefulness of POS as a valuable tool in clinical practice for screening and management of CHD, especially in settings where access to higher diagnostic technologies may be limited.   Received: 25 September 2024  |  Reviewed: 20 October 2024  |  Revised: 13 November 2024  |  Accepted: 30 November 2024.

Abstract

Background: The Indonesia Basic Health Research data show the prevalence of wounds including incision/scratches/stab wounds reaches 20.1%. Natural herbal products play an important role in the wound healing process functioning as anti-inflammatories, antioxidants, antimicrobials, and collagen formation. Mango leaves are often considered waste even though they have many health benefits with the high content of coactive compounds, such as alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins which are good for cut wound healing. The use of gel is more stable and controlled release compared to other topical preparations. Gedong Gincu mangoes originating from West Java have unique properties and they are marketed widely in some areas including Cirebon. Aims: This study aims to identify the most effective concentration of Gedong Gincu mango leaf extract on cut wound healing in male white rats (Rattus norvegicus) of the Wistar Strain. Methods: This study used a post-test-only control group design. The extract gel used three levels of concentration, namely 40%, 50%, and 60%. The positive control used 10% povidone iodine while the negative control used a gel base. The gel was applied to the cut wound twice a day for 14 days. Results: The average length of the cut wound was 0.916 cm, 0.912 cm, and 1.050 cm for concentration levels of 40%, 50%, and 60%. For the positive and negative controls, it reached 0.996 cm and 0.702 cm respectively. This indicates no significant difference in the length of the cut wound with a p-value of 0.121 (p>0.05). The wound healing process was effective at a concentration level of 60% as indicated by the disappearance of erythema and edema. Conclusion: Mango leaf extract gel (Mangifera indica L.var. Gedong Gincu) is effective in healing cut wounds with the disappearance of erythema and edema in male white rats (Rattus norvegicus) Wistar strain with a concentration of 60%.

Abstract

Background: Previous studies have indicated that exposure to social media can impact adolescents' nutritional intake. Given that 87.5% of Indonesian adolescents use the internet to access social media. Aims: This study aims to analyze how exposure to social media content about food and beverage affect their nutritional intake. Method: The research method used in this study was analytical observational with a cross-sectional approach, involving 114 respondents. Data was collected through a questionnaire of food and beverage social media exposure, anthropometric measurements, and direct interviews using a 24-hour food recall format. Data was analyzed using the Spearman correlation test. Results: Based on the analysis results, it can be concluded that there is a negative relationship between exposure to social media related to food and beverage and adolescent nutritional intake. This means that as exposure to social media content about food and beverage increases, adolescents tend to have lower nutritional intake. The Spearman correlation coefficient of -0.23 supports this finding, indicating a weak but statistically significant negative association. Conclusion: This negative correlation suggests that social media may influence adolescents in ways that may be detrimental to their overall nutritional health. For example, social media platforms often promote foods and beverages that are high in sugar, fat, and calories, which can lead adolescents to make less healthy food choices. In addition, constant exposure to food-related content may create unrealistic expectations about diet and body image, potentially influencing their eating habits. Recommendations for future research focus on the types of food-related content that adolescents encounter, distinguishing between promotional and educational messages, a more diverse sample of adolescents from different schools and socioeconomic backgrounds, and examining confounding variables such as physical activity levels and peer influence.   Received: 25 September 2024  |  Reviewed: 16 October 2024  |  Revised: 30 November 2024  |  Accepted: 11 December 2024.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is the leading cause of death globally due to its complications, including coronary heart disease and stroke. In 2018, hypertension cases in West Java were the second highest among all populations in Indonesia. Genetics is one of the unmodifiable risk factors for hypertension. Angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion (ACE I/D) gene polymorphism could affect ACE production in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), which is linked to the regulation of blood pressure. Aims: To analyze ACE I/D gene polymorphism as a risk factor for hypertension in Cirebon. Methods: An observational analysis with a case-control design was used in this study. Blood samples were collected from 30 hypertensive patients and 30 healthy individuals at Talun Health Center. DNA extraction was performed to evaluate polymorphisms using ARMS-PCR. Statistical analyses, including the Chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, Mann-Whitney, and Kruskal-Wallis test, were conducted to compare the case and control groups. The odds ratio was calculated to see the risk of the assessed variables, including genotype, allele frequency, and the presence of ACE I/D gene polymorphism. Results: In the case group, the frequency of the II genotype was 2 (6.7%), the ID genotype was 25 (83.3%), and the DD genotype was 3 (10.0%). In the control group, the frequency of the II genotype was 2 (6.7%), the ID genotype was 26 (86.7%), and the DD genotype was 2 (6.7%). Statistically, there was no significant association between ACE I/D gene polymorphisms in essential hypertension patients and healthy people (p=0.500; OR=1.556; 95% CI=0.241-10.049). Conclusion: ACE I/D gene polymorphism was not significantly associated with essential hypertension in Cirebon, West Java, Indonesia.    Received: 25 September 2024  |  Reviewed: 21 October 2024  |  Revised: 23 November 2024  |  Accepted: 30 November 2024.
