Abstract

The use of opioid in various guidelines for chronic non-cancer pain is controversial because evidence of their long-term benefits is weak. The potential for serious adverse effects and local regulations warrant caution in both prescribers and users. However, opioids have a role in the management of chronic non-cancer pain in carefully selected patients with regular monitoring and as a part of multimodal therapy. Common adverse effects should be treated promptly to improve patient compliance. We believe that opioid therapy at low doses is beneficial in some patients. It should not be denied but carefully considered on a case-by-case basis.

Abstract

The irrational use of antibiotics can endanger health by causing unwanted drug reactions, side effects, and drug resistance. This study aimed to analyze the patterns of antibiotic self-medication among university students. This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at Prima Indonesia University in October 2023. A total of 307 randomly selected students from various faculties (health science clumps and non-health science clumps) filled out questionnaires distributed via Google Forms. The collected data are then analyzed descriptively to obtain frequency and percentage data, which are then presented in the form of tables and narratives. The results showed that about 83.39% of respondents had used antibiotics before. Most respondents used antibiotics because they were easily available (43.36%) or because of their previous experience (36.72%). The most common conditions for antibiotic use were cough and cold (47.66%), and infections (23.05%). Most respondents used antibiotics based on doctor ’sor pharmacist’s recommendations (45.31%). The duration of antibiotic use was 1-3 days (61.72%), followed by 4-7 days (31.64%) and more than 7 days (6.64%). Antibiotics were purchased from pharmacies (83.20%). The most common reactions to the overuse of antibiotics were nausea and vomiting (40.23%) and headache (32.81%). Most respondents (53.13%) consulted a doctor or pharmacist if they experienced reactions to antibiotic overuse.

Abstract

Preserving one's physical health and preventing diseases is of utmost importance, and leading a healthy lifestyle is essential. The absence of physical activity has been identified as a significant risk factor for obesity and chronic illnesses.This study aimed to establish an intricate relationship between physical activity level and Body Mass Index (BMI) among medical students. This analytical study used a cross-sectional design. Data were collected from October to December 2023. A total of 144 medical students enrolled at Universitas Prima, Indonesia participated in this study. Physical activity data were obtained using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), whereas BMI was measured using the standard method of dividing weight in kilograms by the square of height in meters (kg/m²). Data analysis was performed using a One-Way ANOVA statistical test. The study findings revealed a significant difference (p < 0.05) between physical activity levels and BMI. Students in the light activity group had an average BMI of 28.57 kg/m², compared to 23.27 kg/m² for the moderate activity group and 21.66 kg/m² for the vigorous activity group. This indicates that physical activity plays a crucial role in determining BMI, with moderate- and vigorous-intensity activities associated with ideal BMI ranges. This study underscores the importance of physical activity in maintaining healthy weight and reducing the risk of obesity and associated chronic diseases. Promoting physical activity among university students can be an effective strategy for promoting their overall well-being.

Abstract

Megacystis microcolon intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome (MMIHs) is a rare congenital anomaly, involve urinary tract and gastrointestinal tract. The prognosis is dismal, the death is caused by infection. In general the diagnosis is made based on ultrasonography (US) examination during the antenatal period due to the presence megacystis in the female fetus. Fetal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has excellent tissue contrast can depict colon caliber and meconium distribution, hence definitive diagnosis can be established and useful for counseling and post natal management.

Abstract

Microplastics particles ranging from 1 µm to 5 mm, have gained attention for their omnipresence in marine environments and potential health risks. Initially recognized in the 1990s, microplastics are classified as primary (designed for microscopic dimensions) or secondary (resulting from degradation). Exposure pathways include ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact, with sources ranging from food and beverages to personal care products. These particles possess unique properties, facilitating their interaction with organic contaminants and potential bioaccumulation in marine life. Their small size allows them to infiltrate ecosystems, raising concerns about their impacts on human health. Studies suggest associations between microplastic exposure and health issues such as inflammatory bowel disease and neurodevelopmental. Microplastics exhibit toxicity through mechanisms like oxidative stress induction and disruption of neurotransmitter levels. They have been detected in human tissues, including the brain, raising concerns about potential neurological impacts. To comprehend the effects on health over time, additional research is required, including biopersistence and tissue accumulation. Regulatory measures and consumer awareness initiatives are crucial to mitigate microplastic pollution and minimize health risks. Strategies to reduce plastic production, enhance recycling, and develop microplastic removal technologies are vital for protecting both human health and the environment. In summary, microplastics pose significant health risks due to their widespread presence and potential toxicity. Understanding their impacts and implementing effective mitigation strategies are essential for safeguarding human health and environmental integrity.

Abstract

Occupational irritant contact dermatitis (ICD) accounts for approximately 20% of work-related skin diseases, with 80% of cases affecting the hands. Cleaning staff are particularly susceptible to ICD. This study aimed to identify risk factors for ICD among cleaning staff at Santa Elisabeth Medan Hospital. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted involving 60 cleaning staff (total population) at the hospital in October-November 2023. The study investigated three groups of factors: host factors (age, gender, work duration, work stress, and personal protective equipment (PPE) use), agent factors (type of cleaning solution, duration and frequency of use), and environmental factors (perceived organizational support). The results showed that 8 of 60 cleaning staff (13.3%) had ICD. Statistical analysis revealed no significant association between ICD and host, agent, or environmental factors among cleaning staff (p > 0.05). Host, agent, and environmental factors were not found to be significant risk factors for OICD among cleaning workers at Santa Elisabeth Medan Hospital.

Abstract

The Indonesian National Health Insurance (JKN) system uses a capitation payment mechanism to fund primary healthcare services. However, utilization of these funds has been a subject of concern because of the potential for unutilized funds and inefficient allocation. This study aimed to investigate the utilization of capitation funds in three Puskesmas (primary healthcare facilities) in Medan Labuhan, Medan City, in 2023. Using a qualitative descriptive research approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, document analyses, and direct observations. The participants included puskesmas heads, technical implementation officers, primary healthcare service team leaders, financial subsection heads, and health office department heads. Triangulation was used to ensure data validity. The study revealed that overall capitation fund utilization was suboptimal, particularly in terms of operational cost support. This was attributed to delays in budget implementation documents, lengthy and bureaucratic procurement processes, and a lack of understanding among capitation fund management personnel at Puskesmas. To optimize capitation fund utilization, this study recommends streamlining bureaucratic procedures, providing training for capitation fund management personnel, and adopting effective financial management practices for public service agencies. These measures can contribute to improved quality and professionalism in healthcare services delivered by Puskesmas in Medan Labuhan.

Abstract

Binahong leaves are often used as traditional medicine to cure wounds, rheumatism, gout, lack of appetite, nosebleeds, kidney inflammation, intestinal inflammation, and cancer. And not many people know that binahong leaves can also accelerate the growth of hair follicles, therefore this study was conducted, namely to analyze and test the effect of giving binahong leaf extract (Anderera cardifolia) in collagenization to accelerate the healing process of incision wounds on the back of white rats (Rattus norvegicus) wistar strain and see the histopathological picture on rat skin tissue. This study used 24 male rats (Rattus norvegicus) wistar strains as samples, then divided into 4 groups with each group of 6 rats, and treated for 14 days. for 14 days On the last day the hair length of the control group/P0 was 0.45 and became the lowest group in hair growth in this treatment, while in the treatment of groups PI, P2 and P3 it was known that the P3 group experienced the fastest hair follicle extension with a result of 1.24 cm. This is also in line with the results of hispatology images for the treatment of treatment group 3 (P3) which is the fastest group of incision wound healing in skin tissue because based on these observations the skin epithelial tissue is seen to begin to thicken and almost perfect.

Abstract

This study aims to test and analyze the effectiveness of moringa flower extract on the liver function of male wistar strain white rats obesity model and how the histopathological picture. This research is a type of experimental quantitative research using post-test only group design. This study used test animals in the form of male white wistar rats with a body weight of 200-300 gr aged 2-3 months. The test animals were divided into 4 groups, the control group was only given regular food and distilled water, the treatment group was given high-fat food and Moringa flower extract at different doses, namely 200 mg / kgBB, 400 mg / kgBB, and 600 mg / kgBB. The results of the phytochemical test showed that moringa flower extract contains secondary metabolites in the form of saponins, tannins, flavonoids, alkaloids, and steroids. The administration of moringa flower extract at a dose of 600 mg/KgBB is effective in improving liver function in obese Wistar white rats. This improvement can be seen through the levels of ALT, AST, and histological structure of the liver that has improved. The results of histopathological observations of liver tissue in treatment group 3, namely moringa flower extract at a dose of 600 mg/KgBB, experienced the most significant improvement and approached the control group compared to other groups.
