Abstract

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in the world (2,261,419 cases) and in Indonesia (65,858 cases). This research aims to determine the class and type of cytostatic drugs most frequently used in breast cancer chemotherapy patients from January to March 2023 at RSUP Haji Adam Malik Medan. This study used a descriptive survey method with a saturated sample of 176 medical records. Data collection was done retrospectively by gathering information from the electronic medical records of the patients. The research results show that the characteristics of the patients are as follows: the majority were female, totalling 176 patients (100%). The most common age group was 45-54 years, with 111 patients (63.1%), and the prescription of cytostatic drugs was highest in March, with 80 patients (36.9%). In conclusion, the most commonly used class of cytostatic drugs was antibiotics, with 146 cases (32.88%), and the most commonly used type of cytostatic drug was Doxorubicin, with 114 cases (25.68%). This indicates that the use of antibiotics is a significant part of breast cancer treatment, and it is important to pay attention to the safety and regularity of drug use to prevent drug resistance and the severity of the disease.

Abstract

The Ants Nest plant (Myrmecodia pendans) is known to have the potential to reduce blood glucose cholesterol, LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein), and HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) in obese patients with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) because it contains high flavonoid and tannin content that can prevent oxidative stress and inhibit the work of pancreatic β cells, α-glucosidase work, Glut-2, and lipase enzymes. This study aims to study the effect of the management of Ethanol Ants Nest Extract (EANE) on changes in the cholesterol, LDL, and HDL levels of obese rats with T2D. The extraction of the ants nest was carried out using the maceration method with ethanol solvent. Cholesterol, LDL, and HDL values will be obtained through the CHOD PAP. The rats were divided into 6 groups, namely: KNo (standard control), KN (T2D obesity), KP (T2D obesity given metformin), P1, P2, and P3 (T2D obesity given ethanol extract of ant nest 150mg/KgBW/day, 300mg/KgBW/day, and 600mg/KgBW/day for 14 days by gastric sonde). Induction of DM model using streptozocin and nicotinamide. Data were analyzed using Paired T-test and continued by using One-way ANOVA. There was a decrease in cholesterol, LDL, and HDL after 14 days of intervention, which was highest in the P3 group with cholesterol, LDL, and HDL of 64,06 ± 1,97 mg/dl (p < 0.0001), 44,56 ± 2,22 mg/dl (p < 0.0001), and 45,33 ± 2,56 mg/dl (p < 0.0001). The treatment of ethanol extract from ants nest has an effect in reducing cholesterol, LDL, and HDL.

Abstract

Family Planning (KB) initiatives seek to manage population growth by curbing childbirths among women aged 15-49. This qualitative research investigates the decision-making process of women of childbearing age (WUS) when choosing intrauterine device (IUD) contraception in Batuoge Village, Pedongga District, Pasangkayu Regency. Employing observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, the study reveals that WUS possess limited knowledge of IUD contraception, primarily at the basic level. Furthermore, their attitude toward IUD contraception tends to be less favorable. In terms of action, WUS generally engage in consultations with their partners. This research highlights the need for improved knowledge and attitudes regarding family planning (KB) with intrauterine device (IUD) contraception among women of childbearing age in Batuoge Village. It emphasizes their inclination toward consultation with their partners.

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis is the third most prevalent disease worldwide. It is a contagious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a bacterium characterized by dimensions of 0,5-4µ x 0,3-0,6µ and an outer thick layer composed of lipids that are resistant to chemical penetration. Family support is one of the factors influencing the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis, where both main and extended family serve as a support system for their affected members. The primary function of a family is to provide healthcare. The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between family support and family stress among pulmonary tuberculosis patients at Tamalanrea Primary Health Center. This study employed a quantitative cross-sectional research design and utilized a total sampling approach with a sample size of 32 patients. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using Fisher’s Exact test. The results of the study revealed a significant relationship between family support and family stress in tuberculosis patients, with a p-value of 0,018. In conclusion, this study established a correlation between family support and family stress among pulmonary tuberculosis patients at Tamalanrea Primary Health Center. It is suggested that future researchers use larger sample sizes to explore additional factors that impact family support and family stress among tuberculosis patients.
