Abstract

Red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum) with a high content of phenols (e.g. gingerol, shogaol, etc.) has potential effects against throat inflammation such as cold, sore throat, tonsilitis, etc. This research aims to determine the formulation of lozenge tablets using red ginger extracts. Lozenges tablets are made from dry ginger extract using a wet granulation method prepared by various concentrations of pregelatinized cassava starch 1 % w/v (F0); 2 % w/v (F1) and 5 % w/v (F2) as a binder and HPMC 2 % w/v (F3) as a comparative binder. Red ginger extract was prepared by maceration method using 96% ethanol solvent which is then evaporated using a rotary evaporator to obtain a thick extract. Thick red ginger extract is formulated into lozenges with various formulations F0, F1, F2, and F3. Physical characteristics evaluation of lozenge tablets includes physical appearance, weight uniformity, hardness, and disintegration time. The physical appearance of the tablet is round in shape and bright yellow in color. Based on the evaluation of all the formulas made, F2 has good criteria as a red ginger extract lozenge which has a hardness of 6 kg and disintegration time of 5 minutes 4 seconds.

Abstract

Acne vulgaris is the most common skin disorder in adults and young adults. The growth of acne is caused by many factors, including excess sebum secretion and changes in microbial flora, mainly the colonization of Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus aureus. This study aimed to determine the anti-bacterial activity of palm leaf extract against Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus aureus. The research procedure includes palm leaf extraction and anti-bacterial tests. Palm leaf extraction was carried out using ultrasonication, while the anti-bacterial test was carried out using disc diffusion. The palm leaf extract obtained was diluted to 10, 20, 30, 50, and 50%, and each variation of this concentration was tested for anti-bacterial activity. The results of the anti-bacterial test showed that all palm leaf extract samples from 10% to 50% concentration could inhibit the growth of P. acnes and S. aureus bacteria. The 50% extract of ultrasonicated palm leaves had the largest inhibition zone diameter of 13.8 mm for P. acnes bacteria and 10.1 for S. aureus bacteria. From the results of this study, palm leaf extract has the potential to be used as a product for the prevention or treatment of acne vulgaris.

Abstract

Open defecation (OD) remains a significant public health concern, particularly in rural areas of developing countries. This study aimed to investigate the association between demographic factors and OD practices in Gunungtua Jae Village, Padang Lawas Utara, Indonesia. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 82 households. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using Chi-square test and logistic regression. The findings revealed a significant association between several demographic factors and OD practices. These factors included household head knowledge (p = 0.000), occupation (p = 0.002), attitude (p = 0.000), education level (p = 0.000), and income level (p = 0.000). The study highlights the importance of considering demographic factors when addressing OD practices in public health interventions. Comprehensive efforts are needed to enhance community knowledge, particularly among household heads, regarding the significance of adequate sanitation and the detrimental impacts of OD practices. Collaboration between community health centers (puskesmas) and various stakeholders is essential for the sustainable implementation of the Total Sanitation Based on Community Approach (STBM) program. This program can effectively raise awareness and promote positive behavioral changes towards environmental hygiene and personal health, with a primary focus on encouraging proper sanitation practices and preventing environmental pollution.

Abstract

Lowered consciousness is a life-threatening condition that necessitates prompt assessment and first aid. One crucial method for addressing such emergencies is the primary survey, which aims to identify and treat life-threatening conditions quickly. Pasar Petisah, one of the largest and busiest markets in Medan, is a high-risk location for such emergencies due to its crowded nature. Therefore, the community at Pasar Petisah needs to have a strong understanding of the primary survey procedure. This study is a descriptive cross-sectional analysis that uses primary data collected through questionnaires. The sample size consists of 97 subjects, selected using non-probability sampling techniques. The results indicate that among the 97 participants, only 3 (3.1%) demonstrated a good level of knowledge about the primary survey, 41 (42.3%) had a sufficient level of knowledge, and 53 (54.6%) had a lacking level of knowledge. Regarding readiness to perform the primary survey, 61 individuals (62.9%) reported feeling prepared, 23 individuals (23.7%) were doubtful, and 13 individuals (13.4%) felt unprepared. Overall, while the community at Pasar Petisah generally lacks adequate knowledge about conducting a primary survey in cases of lowered consciousness, a majority still express readiness to perform the primary survey in emergency situations.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of oral administration of telang flower extract in several doses on histopathological changes in kidney organs. This study used a post test only control group design. Researchers used 6 Wistar rats for each experimental group, so that the total number of test animals in this study was 24. Grouping of test animals was done randomly into 4 test groups. Histopathological observations of kidney tissue were made by comparing the control and treatment groups. Changes observed will be the presence of fatty degeneration (vacuolization), necrosis and hydrophic degeneration. To obtain quantitative data, scoring was performed on each change found. The data from the study were then analyzed with the help of SPSS. Data normality test was analyzed by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test (p > 0.05). To test the significance between test groups, one-way analysis of variance or One Way ANOVA technique was conducted at 95% confidence level (p < 0.05). Further analysis or test was conducted using Post Hoc Test with LSD technique. The results showed that the administration of telang flower extract at a dose of 600mg/KgBB was effective in improving kidney function in obese Wistar white rats. This improvement is seen through increased levels of ureum, creatinine, and improved renal histological structure. Histopathological observation of kidney tissue showed that treatment group 3, which received telang flower extract at a dose of 600mg/KgBB, experienced significant improvement and was closer to the control group than the other groups.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of areca nut extract on the amount of melanin pigment in the skin of Wistar rats exposed to ultraviolet-B light. The research method used was post-test with control group design. The total sample of white rats used was 20 rats, which were divided into 4 groups with each group consisting of 5 rats. The cream preparation was made using cold cream base. The rats were then exposed to UVB with a certain intensity for 5 days, characterized by erythema as a result of UVB absorption into the epidermis. Each group of treated rats received base cream, 10% areca nut extract cream, and 15% areca nut extract cream topically for 14 days before termination on day 15. The collected data were then tabulated and analyzed. To determine significant differences or influences between the test groups, analysis was carried out with t-test or Independent Samples T-Test approach at 95% confidence level (p < 0.05). The results of the analysis showed that the administration of areca nut extract was effective in reducing the amount of melanin pigment in the skin of Wistar rats exposed to Ultraviolet-B light. From histopathological observations, the administration of areca nut extract with a concentration of 15% is effective in removing or fading melanin pigments in the skin exposed to Ultraviolet-B light and the results of damaged skin melanin pigments appear in the epidermis of rat skin barely visible grain.

Abstract

Intestinal protozoan infections have been reported worldwide with highly variable prevalence rates, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. Despite this, limited research has been conducted on intestinal protozoan infections over the past decade, both in Indonesia and specifically in North Sumatra. Therefore, further investigation into the prevalence and risk factors of intestinal parasitic infections, especially protozoan infections, in areas surrounding Medan is warranted. This cross-sectional study assessed the association between risk factors and intestinal parasitic infections among 136 residents of Sunggal District, Deli Serdang, selected using consecutive sampling. Participants underwent interviews to evaluate risk factors using a checklist and provided fecal samples, as well as livestock samples if applicable. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test. Results revealed a significant association between age and Protozoa infection (p = 0.001), helminth infection (p = 0.0002), and overall parasitic infection (p = 0.0001). However, no significant associations were found for other variables. Furthermore, sanitation and hygiene levels were not significantly associated with parasitic infections (p > 0.05). These findings suggest that the risk factors assessed in this study were not significantly associated with intestinal protozoan infections. Nonetheless, the prevalence of both overall parasitic infections and protozoan infections remains high, with a spectrum ranging from asymptomatic to symptomatic cases. Further research is needed to elucidate the complex interplay of factors contributing to the persistence of these infections in the region.

Abstract

The National Health Insurance System (JKN), managed by BPJS, is a strategic initiative of the Indonesian government to ensure access to affordable and quality healthcare. This study aims to evaluate the effect of implementing an online tiered referral system on patient satisfaction at Royal Prima Hospital. The method used was non-experimental quantitative research with a descriptive approach and associative analysis conducted at Royal Prima Hospital Medan from February to March 2019. Data was collected through an online-based questionnaire survey involving 100 respondents and analyzed using the Chi-Square test and multiple logistic regression. The results of the analysis showed a significant relationship between several variables and patient satisfaction, such as ease of requirements (p = 0.010), service procedures (p = 0.017), service time (p = 0.006), cost efficiency (p = 0.001), and facilities/ infrastructure (p = 0.020). In contrast, variables that did not show a significant relationship included product specifications (p = 0.268), executor competence (p = 0.200), executor behavior (p = 0.103), and complaint handling (p = 0.074). From the multivariate analysis, the cost variable showed the highest Odds Ratio (OR) of 7.516, indicating that patients who felt cost-efficient had a 7.516 times greater chance of being satisfied. This study confirms that cost efficiency, service speed, and procedure quality significantly affect patient satisfaction, providing insight for BPJS Kesehatan in improving the quality of health services in Indonesia.
