Abstract

Breast milk provides optimal nutrition for newborns, supporting their growth and development while meeting essential nutritional needs. Exclusive breastfeeding is crucial; however, many mothers face challenges that hinder their ability to breastfeed exclusively. Additionally, some parents believe that breast milk alone is insufficient, leading them to supplement with formula milk. Methods: This literature review analyzed studies from Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, and Garuda, published between 2014 and 2024 in English or Indonesian. Only full-text quantitative or qualitative studies were included, assessed using the CASP tool, and data extraction followed a structured approach. The synthesis identified six predominant factors contributing to the failure of exclusive breastfeeding and the use of formula milk, which were further analyzed for interconnections. Results: The investigation produced 20 studies that highlighted the factors influencing formula milk use and the failure of exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia. Key elements identified include understanding, spousal/family support, promotion of formula milk, maternal disposition, profession, and education. These factors were found to interact and exacerbate the challenges of exclusive breastfeeding. Conclusion: The review found that inadequate breastfeeding practices in Indonesia are primarily due to factors such as lack of knowledge, insufficient family support, the aggressive promotion of formula milk, maternal attitudes, work demands, and educational background. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions can improve breastfeeding rates and reduce the reliance on formula milk.

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) presents significant challenges for women of reproductive age, particularly regarding pregnancy planning and maternal-fetal health risks. This study explores the perspectives of women with CKD on pregnancy and family planning, focusing on communication gaps between patients and nephrologists at Murni Teguh Hospital Pematang Siantar. Using a qualitative research design, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 30 women aged 18–45 years diagnosed with CKD at varying stages. Thematic analysis identified three key issues: (1) limited discussions with nephrologists regarding pregnancy and contraception, (2) patient concerns about pregnancy risks, and (3) the need for a multidisciplinary approach in reproductive healthcare. The findings revealed that 73.3% of participants had never received preconception counseling, despite expressing significant concerns about CKD-related pregnancy complications. Many participants perceived pregnancy as a high-risk endeavor due to fears of worsening renal function, hypertensive disorders, and adverse fetal outcomes. The study further highlights the critical role of nephrologists in reproductive health counseling, emphasizing the need for integrated care involving obstetricians and reproductive specialists. Enhancing nephrology training programs, implementing standardized reproductive health counseling protocols, and fostering patient-centered communication are essential for improving pregnancy outcomes among women with CKD. Future research should explore interdisciplinary interventions aimed at addressing the systemic barriers to reproductive health discussions in nephrology care.

Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic syndrome disease in which around 90-95% of all cases of adults aged 20-79 years suffer from type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, with long-term conventional treatment causing side effects of hypoglycemia. Bay leaves which contain quercetin and kaempferol compounds are able to lower blood glucose levels, but have challenges in drug delivery due to easy oxidation and low bioavailability. Therefore, an innovative drug delivery system is needed, such as nanophytosomes, to increase its bioavailability. Objective: This study aims to develop a thin film formula of bay leaf extract nanophytosomes that have antidiabetic affinity with in silico studies and evaluate the physical characteristics of nanophytosomes. Method: in silico using the molecular docking method to evaluate the interaction of active compounds of bay leaves with the alpha glucosidase enzyme. Bay leaf nanophytosomes are formulated using heat homogenization and probe sonicator techniques. Characterization is carried out by measuring particle size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, and particle morphology. Results: The nanophytosome formula of bay leaf extract showed a particle size of <1000 nm, a polydispersity index of <0.5, and a zeta potential of ±25 mV. In silico studies showed that quercetin and kaempferol have a strong affinity for the α-glucosidase enzyme, which plays an important role in inhibiting glucose absorption. Conclusion: Bay leaf extract can be formulated into a phytosome-based nanoparticle delivery system that shows stable physical characteristics, high adsorption efficiency, and potential antidiabetic activity through the interaction of inhibiting the α-glucosidase enzyme.

Abstract

Introduction: Wounds are tissue damage that can cause functional disorders and risk of infection. Effective wound management is essential to accelerate tissue regeneration and prevent complications. Bay leaf extract (Syzygium polyanthum) contains bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, and saponins that have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and wound healing activities. However, the limited bioavailability and skin penetration of these active compounds are challenges in topical therapy. Objective: This study aims to develop and evaluate a topical drug delivery system based on bay leaf extract nanoemulsion as an alternative therapy to accelerate wound healing. Method: Extraction was carried out using ethanol solvent, then formulated into a nanoemulsion with oil, surfactant, and co-surfactant components. Formulation characterization was carried out by measuring particle size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, and physical stability tests. Evaluation of effectiveness was carried out using a wound model in Wistar rats with the hot plate induction method. Wound healing observations were carried out clinically and histologically for a period of 14 days. Results: The formulation results showed that the nanoemulsion had a particle size of <200 nm, PDI <0.5, and zeta potential of ±25 mV, indicating good physical stability. Burn activity tests showed that topical administration of bay leaf extract nanoemulsion accelerated wound contraction, increased epithelialization, and improved tissue structure compared to the control group. Conclusion: Bay leaf extract can be formulated in a nanoemulsion-based nanoparticle delivery system that shows stable physical characteristics and is effective in accelerating wound healing.

Abstract

Circumcision is a common surgical operation that entails excising the foreskin from the penis, primarily to improve hygiene and prevent the accumulation of smegma. This practice is widely observed worldwide, especially within Muslim and Jewish populations. However, despite its advantages, circumcision may lead to several complications, such as excessive bleeding and infections. A healthy 13-year-old male presented for circumcision due to grade 2 phimosis, seeking to improve his personal hygiene. The procedure was executed using a combination of diode laser technology and cyanoacrylate skin glue, which minimized tissue trauma and provided effective wound closure. When circumcision is performed utilizing advanced methods such as diode laser and cyanoacrylate glue, it is regarded as a safe and effective intervention. This approach offers considerable benefits in terms of recovery duration, cosmetic results, and overall patient comfort, while also maintaining low rates of complications.

Abstract

This study evaluated the implementation of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) at UPTD Puskesmas Ungaran using the Human-Organization-Technology Fit (HOT-FIT) model. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach to explore how human readiness, organizational support, and technological infrastructure influenced EMR adoption. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving twelve healthcare professionals. Thematic analysis revealed that most users had limited training and lacked confidence in using the system, often leading to partial documentation. Organizationally, there was minimal supervision, unclear standard operating procedures, and no internal technical support. Technologically, the system frequently experienced downtime and integration failures with national platforms such as Pcare BPJS. These findings indicate that the EMR implementation remains fragmented and procedural, rather than transformative. The study concluded that the success of EMR adoption requires not only system availability but also holistic readiness across all HOT-FIT dimensions. Practical recommendations include ongoing capacity-building, improved policy enforcement, and user-centered system development. This study provides insight for policymakers and healthcare managers to enhance EMR sustainability in primary care settings.
