Abstract

Hypertension in pregnancy, encompassing both gestational hypertension and preeclampsia, is a significant public health concern, particularly in Southeast Asia. This study investigates the prevalence, risk factors, and healthcare management of hypertension in pregnancy in Viet Nam, with data collected from various healthcare facilities across the country in July 2023. The study finds that 25% of pregnant women in the sample experienced hypertension, with a notable distribution between gestational hypertension and preeclampsia. Key risk factors identified include obesity, advanced maternal age, diabetes, and socio-economic challenges. The study also highlights substantial disparities in healthcare access and management between urban and rural areas, with urban areas having better access to prenatal care and specialized resources compared to rural regions. These findings underscore the urgent need for targeted public health interventions and improvements in healthcare infrastructure to address these disparities and improve maternal health outcomes. Effective management of hypertension in pregnancy requires a comprehensive approach, including enhanced access to healthcare, improved education, and socio-economic support to reduce the incidence and impact of hypertensive disorders during pregnancy.

Abstract

This study investigates the prevalence and impact of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) among smokers in the Philippines using a mixed-methods approach. Data was collected from April 2022 to April 2023 across urban and rural areas, involving 1,500 participants aged 40 and above with a history of smoking. Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) and questionnaires assessed COPD prevalence, smoking habits, environmental exposures, and comorbidities. COPD was diagnosed using spirometry, adhering to Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) guidelines. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS, employing descriptive statistics and logistic regression to explore associations between smoking, environmental factors, and COPD. The findings revealed a 35% COPD prevalence among participants, with a notable gender disparity: 45% in males and 25% in females, correlating with higher smoking rates among men. Logistic regression indicated that each additional pack-year of smoking increased COPD risk by 3.3%. Urban living, especially in Metro Manila, was significantly associated with higher COPD prevalence, likely due to elevated air pollution and exposure to indoor pollutants. Additionally, 59.4% of COPD cases were undiagnosed prior to this study, highlighting significant gaps in awareness and healthcare access. The study underscores the urgent need for improved COPD awareness, better diagnostic practices, and targeted public health interventions, including smoking cessation programs and strategies to reduce environmental exposures. Addressing these issues can significantly reduce COPD burden and enhance healthcare outcomes for affected individuals in the Philippines.

Abstract

Panax notoginseng, a prominent medicinal plant, was studied to evaluate its phytochemical composition, cultivation practices, and therapeutic potential using samples from Chiang Mai, Thailand. Phytochemical analysis revealed high concentrations of bioactive compounds, including ginsenosides (notoginsenoside R1, ginsenoside Rb1, and ginsenoside Rg1), with average levels of 2.5 mg/g, 3.8 mg/g, and 3.1 mg/g, respectively. UV-visible spectrophotometry indicated total flavonoid and polysaccharide contents of 7.4 mg/g and 6.1 mg/g, respectively. These findings suggest that the Chiang Mai region offers an optimal environment for cultivating Panax notoginseng, potentially enhancing its antioxidant and immune-modulatory properties. Surveyed local farmers identified key factors influencing phytochemical composition, including consistent irrigation, pest management, and soil quality. A positive correlation (r = 0.72, p < 0.05) was observed between organic farming practices and higher concentrations of ginsenoside R1, indicating that sustainable cultivation methods may improve medicinal quality. Despite promising results regarding the therapeutic potential of ginsenosides, especially for cardiovascular conditions, there is a need for further research to address safety concerns and drug interactions. Clinical trials are recommended to evaluate the long-term effects of Panax notoginseng in diverse populations. This study underscores the potential of Chiang Mai as a significant source of high-quality Panax notoginseng, with implications for improving cultivation practices and meeting global herbal medicine demands. Future research should focus on refining cultivation techniques and assessing the plant's safety profile.

Abstract

An autoimmune rheumatic disease that produces widespread inflammation, affecting organs or systems in the body is known as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). In a previous study, data were obtained from the results of an analysis based on the Naranjo algorithm obtained were that most respondents fell into the Probable category (Most likely to occur ROM) as many as 14 respondents or 35%, followed by the Definite category (Definite ROM occurs) as many as 12 respondents or 30%. Then the Possible category (Possible ROM occurs) as many as 9 respondents or 22.5% and finally the No ES category as many as 5 respondents or 12.5%. The type of research used was quantitative research with experimental methods through a pretest-posttest control group design by taking a sample and then conducting a pretest first to find out which samples are classified namely interventions experiencing side effects, interventions with no side effects, controls experiencing side effects and controls with no side effects. Based on the results of the Wilcoxon analysis with a p value <0.05, it states that the calendar has an effect on reducing the incidence of side effects in patients. Mann Whitney test showing a p value of 0.000 smaller than 0.05, so it can be interpreted that there are significant differences in side effects in patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) in the intervention group and control group. The provision of functional calendar media is effective for reducing the incidence of side effects in taking Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) drugs.

Abstract

This study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of nano hydrogels containing Chromolaena odorata leaf extract, using Carbopol 980 as a gelling agent. Chromolaena odorata, known for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, is traditionally used in Southeast Asia for wound healing. The primary objective was to determine the optimal concentration of Carbopol 980 for nano hydrogel formulations with desirable physical and chemical properties suitable for wound care, particularly in tropical climates like Thailand. The hydrogels were prepared with varying concentrations of Carbopol 980 (0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, and 2.0%). Evaluations were conducted on particle size, pH, viscosity, spreadability, and adhesion. The results demonstrated that the 0.5% concentration of Carbopol 980 yielded the most favorable properties, with a particle size of approximately 412.9 nm, optimal viscosity, and high spreadability, making it suitable for wound dressing applications. Nano hydrogels offer several advantages, such as controlled release of active substances and improved drug delivery, which are crucial for wound healing in tropical regions. The study highlights the potential of Chromolaena odorata as an affordable and effective ingredient in wound care products, leveraging local resources and traditional medicinal knowledge in Thailand. The findings suggest that these nano hydrogel formulations could enhance wound healing, and future research should focus on clinical trials to further assess their effectiveness in real-world applications.
