Abstract

Increasing rates of syphilis in diverse geographical settings demand that people should have a heightened awareness of syphilis, especially in high-risk patients, including those who are MSM contracting HIV-positive. This study aimed to assess the association of HIV and syphilis among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Depok and Bogor using an Integrated Biological and Behavioral Survey 2018/2019. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 750 eligible participants. Inclusion criteria: MSM living in study location, aged over 15, and had sexual relations with men at least once in the previous year. A prevalence ratio was obtained through multivariate Cox regression analysis. This study found that 11.3% of subjects were identified as having syphilis, and 20.1% were declared positive for HIV. The final model evidence a PR value of 2.46; 1.59-3.81 with a p-value of 0.00 for the risk of MSM infected with HIV to develop syphilis. Overall, HIV has a statistically significant relationship with the incidence of syphilis after being adjusted by the use of condoms with non-permanent partners and STI screening. Integrated intervention techniques, HIV testing, and enhanced awareness are required to reduce HIV, syphilis, and co-infection; targeting MSM and other vulnerable groups is in urge.

Abstract

The mental health of postpartum mothers is influenced by traumatic childbirth experiences that can result in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Individuals experiencing PTSD tend to be more sensitive. Poor mental health during the postpartum period can alter a woman's self-perception and disrupt family relationships. This research aims to conduct a Survey of Traumatic Childbirth Experiences in Postpartum Mothers Using the City Birth Trauma Scale in Sorong Regency. This is a quantitative survey research using the survey method to analyze risk factors for postpartum trauma incidents, employing the City Birth Trauma Scale 5 questionnaire by examining exposure or Odds Ratio (OR). Meanwhile, to test the validity and reliability of the Indonesian version of the City Birth Trauma Scale instrument, the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation and Cronbach's Alpha methods were used. The study was conducted in August-September 2023 at 2 Public Health Centers in Sorong Regency, Malawili Public Health Center, and Marian Public Health Center, with a sample of 70 postpartum mothers drawn using purposive sampling. The research results show that 24 respondents (100%) meet the diagnostic criteria for PTSD. Only 1 respondent (4%) does not meet the criteria for Non-Diagnostic PTSD. The conclusion of this research is that there is no significant relationship between the evaluated factors in the table and trauma symptoms, based on the analysis of the given P values and Odds Ratios (OR). Regular monitoring of postpartum mental health is necessary, especially for those experiencing early trauma symptoms.

Abstract

Olive oil is a rich source of oleic acid and polyphenols. Extra virgin olive oil is rich in phenolic compounds which are known to have anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and antioxidant effects. Olive oil has been used for thousands of years as a food source and is reported to have beneficial effects on cardiovascular disease. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current literature on the use of olive oil in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases and prevention of atherosclerosis. The methodology is employed by searching the article at Google Scholar, PubMed, Semantic Scholar, teaching materials, and research gate. Studies included the consumption of olive oil, by using qualitative and quantitative methodologies, were published in journals between 2013 and 2024 to obtain the latest information and relevant contents of the articles as well as the empirical data that indicate the effectiveness of olive oil. This research has a varying result, such as the high level of cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Olive oil polyphenols also increase HDL particle size increase HDL stability by producing a triglyceride-poor core, and improve HDL antioxidant status by increasing the olive oil polyphenol metabolite content of lipoproteins, and it can intake of several foods also positively modulates platelet reactivity and may be the basis for the reduced cardiovascular risk reported in individuals on diets that increase the intake of plant foods, such as the Mediterranean diet. The olive oil which contains MUFA in the form of oleic acid and polyphenols has anti-atherogenic properties to prevent cardiovascular disease.

Abstract

The primary challenge in the population domain is the presence of a large population with a relatively high growth rate. This study aims to ascertain the distribution of modern contraceptives and identify the variables influencing the selection of contraceptive methods among women of childbearing age. The research employed an analytical cross-sectional study design, utilizing bivariate analysis (chi-square test) and multivariate analysis (logistic regression test) for data analysis. The study used secondary data from the 2019 SKAP. The population and research sample were taken based on the cluster approach as an enumeration area. This study takes all women of childbearing age (15-49 years) based on selected clusters in South Sulawesi Province. Among the participants, 205 (25.6%) chose Long-Term Contraceptive Methods (MKJP), while 599 (74.4%) opted for Non-Long-Term Contraceptive Methods (Non-MKJP). Bivariate analysis revealed three variables significantly associated with the choice of contraceptive method: education level, parity, and husband's support (p-value < 0.05). In the logistic regression test utilizing the backward method, the Odds Ratio (OR) values were obtained: for parity (OR = 1.683), signifying that women with child parity >2 were 1.683 times more likely to use MKJP compared to those with parity 2; for husband's support (OR = 1.733), indicating that women receiving husband's support had 1.733 times the likelihood of using MKJP compared to those without husband's support; and for education level (OR = 2.008), suggesting that those with a higher education level were 2.008 times more likely to use MKJP compared to those with lower education. The sequence of related variables influencing contraceptive choice was education level, followed by husband's support, and then parity percentage.

Abstract

Antioxidants are compounds that can inhibit oxidation reactions in the human body. Antioxidants can be obtained from food intake. Intake containing antioxidant compounds can also be found in red ginger. Red ginger is available in the form of instant powder obtained through a crystallization process using sucrose as the main agent. Granulated sugar has a sucrose content of 99.95% and functions as a sweetener as well as a crystallization agent that affects the speed of crystallization. This study aims to determine the comparison of antioxidant levels contained in red ginger powder with the addition of sucrose and without the addition of sucrose. The research design used was experimental research design by testing the comparison of antioxidant compound activity between red ginger powder added sucrose and red ginger powder without added sucrose using DPPH reagent measured by spectrophotometer. The measurement of antioxidant content showed that red ginger powder without added sucrose has a very strong IC50 value of antioxidant activity with a value of 46.12 ppm while red ginger powder without added sucrose has a weak IC50 value of antioxidant activity with a value of 205.47 ppm. The results of antioxidant activity testing on both red ginger powders were then statistically tested using the unpaired T-Test test with a p-value <0.05 which means significant. It can be concluded that there is a significant difference in antioxidant activity values ​​between red ginger powder without added sucrose and red ginger powder with added sucrose.

Abstract

The mental health issues of pregnant women must be detected early and addressed quickly to prevent negative impacts on the mother, fetus, and newborn. This review aims to identify current evidence on the role of midwives in managing pregnant women with mental health problems and disorders in developing countries. The review method employed is a rapid review, utilizing the PRISMA-ScR checklist, the PCC framework, and a critical appraisal tool adapted from the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) for assessment. A literature search was conducted across three databases (PubMed, Wiley, Science Direct), Google Scholar, and Research Rabbit, with inclusion criteria consisting of all original articles in English or Indonesian from 2018 to 2023, discussing management, midwives' roles, inhibiting factors, supporting factors, and full-text availability. From the search, 300 articles were retrieved, of which 7 were duplicates. Screening based on inclusion criteria yielded 7 articles published in 2020 (2 articles), and 2021 (2 articles),. and 2023 (3 articles), with qualitative design (n=4, 57.2%) and cross-sectional design (n=3, 42.8%). Two articles were from Ghana, while the remaining five were from Uganda, Sri Lanka, Ethiopia, China, and India. Three themes emerged regarding the midwives' role in managing pregnant women with mental health problems and disorders: screening, referral, barriers, and supportive factors. Further research is needed to test the effectiveness of midwives' screening for maternal mental health and to develop and evaluate integrated perinatal mental health service models.

Abstract

Sport has a crucial role in improving quality of life and health, but the environment including temperature and humidity can affect athletes' performance and health. This study focused on the impact of environmental temperature and humidity on hematocrit levels during exercise in Padang City. Using an ex-post facto design, the study involved 15 football players with pre-test and post-test hematocrit before and after a 10km jog. The results of the study are the body's hematocrit levels when exercising, evidenced by statistical analysis, namely: a). P value < 0.05, 0.034<0.05, b) Hematocrit increase that occurs with a difference of 1.25%, c) t calculate > t table which is 2.331 > 1.753 with α < 0.05.  The normality test shows normally distributed data, validating the results of the analysis. Increased hematocrit is related to oxygen demand and dehydration, which can be exacerbated by high temperatures and humidity. The research underscores the importance of a holistic understanding of the sports environment and the implementation of preventive measures, such as adequate fluid intake. Elevated hematocrit levels can be an indicator of dehydration risk, which can affect physical performance and heart health. Therefore, education on the body's adaptation to environmental changes and safe sports practices needs to be introduced to maintain the health and quality of life of people in environments with high temperatures and humidity. It can be concluded that there is a significant difference in the body's hematocrit levels when exercising with a P value of < 0.05.

Abstract

An imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants causes oxidative stress. Antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, known to prevent various diseases, can help reduce oxidative stress. The antioxidant lycopene in fruits can prevent carcinogenesis and atherogenesis. The objective of this study is to assess the impact of administering lycopene at doses of 0.36, 0.72, and 1.08 mg/day from tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum) fruit extract on the antioxidant levels (Vitamin C, E, and GPx) in hypercholesterolemic Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus). The research methods of this study employ true experiment designs, LSD post hoc, control, and treatment groups. Experimentally, 28 rats with the Wistar strain were assigned to control and treatment groups. Hypercholesterolemic rats were fed high-fat, high-cholesterol with 0.35 ml/day cholesterol crystals. Vitamin C, vitamin E, and GPx levels were measured. The result of this study shows lycopene increased both vitamin C and E (P3 > P2 > P1 > P0). A post hoc LSDV statistical test of vitamin C, vitamin E, and GPX levels shows a significant difference (p = 0.00). The conclusion of this study found that administering a dosage of 0.36 mg/head/day of lycopene to those with high cholesterol levels benefits the body's antioxidant status, thereby improving the overall ability to counteract oxidative stress.
