Abstract

Hypertension affects approximately 1.28 billion people worldwide and remains a major contributor to morbidity and mortality, particularly in Indonesia. Conventional pharmacological management often leads to poor adherence, highlighting the need for complementary therapies. This study aimed to examine the effect of bay leaf (Syzygium polyanthum) decoction on reducing blood pressure in patients with hypertension in Cibeunying, Bandung. This quantitative study employed a quasi-experimental design. A total of 30 hypertensive patients were selected using a non-probability purposive sampling technique and divided into an intervention group and a control group. Blood pressure was measured using a digital sphygmomanometer following standard operating procedures. The intervention group received bay leaf decoction for five consecutive days. Before the intervention, 60.0% of participants in the intervention group were classified as having stage 1 hypertension. After the intervention, only 20.0% remained in stage 1 hypertension, while most participants shifted to the pre-hypertension category. Statistical analysis using the Marginal Homogeneity test showed a significant reduction in blood pressure (p = 0.02; α = 0.05). The findings indicate that bay leaf decoction has a significant effect on lowering blood pressure in patients with hypertension. Therefore, bay leaf decoction may be considered as a complementary non-pharmacological therapy for blood pressure management.

Abstract

Orbital cellulitis is a severe infection of the intraorbital tissues that can threaten vision and requires prompt management. This study aims to describe the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and management of orbital cellulitis in an elderly patient with systemic risk factors. A descriptive clinical approach was employed, collecting data through anamnesis, physical examination, and ophthalmologic assessments including visual acuity, slit-lamp examination, and fundus evaluation, as well as the patient’s medical and treatment history. Data were analyzed qualitatively to illustrate the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and therapeutic interventions. The case involved a 64-year-old male presenting with redness, swelling, pain, tearing, and difficulty opening the right eye for one week, with a history of diabetes mellitus and dental caries. Physical examination revealed palpebral edema, conjunctival and scleral hyperemia, restricted ocular motility, and decreased visual acuity in the right eye. The definitive diagnosis was orbital cellulitis in the right eye, with cataract in the left eye and diabetes mellitus as comorbidities. Management included broad-spectrum topical antibiotics and referral to both ophthalmology and internal medicine specialists for multidisciplinary care. In conclusion, early intervention and accurate clinical diagnosis are essential to prevent severe complications such as subperiosteal abscess, cavernous sinus thrombosis, or permanent vision loss.
