Abstract

Vaginal discharge is a common gynecological symptom that often indicates various diseases, but its diagnosis frequently requires specialized medical examinations. The limited access to healthcare professionals and the lack of awareness can lead to delayed diagnosis and ineffective treatment, potentially resulting in more severe health complications. This research aims to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) system capable of identifying common vaginal discharge diseases, such as Bacterial Vaginosis, Candidiasis, and Trichomoniasis, based on a series of user-provided symptoms. The study utilizes a rule-based expert system approach with the forward chaining method to process symptoms logically and arrive at a probable diagnosis. The system's knowledge base is constructed from established medical literature and expert physician consultations to ensure high accuracy and reliability. The developed system was tested using a set of clinical cases, achieving an accuracy rate of 92.5%, demonstrating its effectiven ss as a preliminary diagnostic tool. This AI-based system is expected to serve as a valuable early screening instrument, helping to increase access to gynecological health information and facilitating timely medical intervention for women, particularly in areas with limited medical resources.

Abstract

Hypertension in the elderly is one of the global health challenges with a high prevalence. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of isometric handgrip exercise and walking exercise in reducing blood pressure in the elderly with hypertension. The research method used a quasi-experimental design with three intervention groups: (1) isometric handgrip exercise, (2) walking exercise, and (3) a combination of both. A total of 36 elderly were randomly selected and equally divided into the three groups. The intervention was conducted for eight weeks with analysis using Shapiro Wilk test, One Way Anova and Wilcoxon Test The results showed that the isometric handgrip and combination exercise groups had a significant decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure (p<0.05). Meanwhile, walking exercise also had a positive effect, although not significant in all weeks of evaluation. The combination of both interventions showed the most optimal results, especially at weeks 5 and 8. This study concludes that isometric handgrip exercise and its combination with walking exercise are effective for lowering blood pressure in elderly with hypertension. It is recommended that this intervention be applied as a non-pharmacological therapy in elderly health services, with assistance by health workers to improve compliance and effectiveness of the program.

Abstract

Positive deviance (pos gizi) merupakan program gizi yang berbasis keluarga dan masyrakat bagi balita yang mengalami gizi kurang. Tujuan penelitian yakni menganalisis keefektivan intervensi positive deviance (pos gizi) sebagai penatalaksanaan gizi kurang pada balita. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan yakni quasi experimental dengan menggunakan rancangan one group pre post test design. Intervensi positive deviance (pos gizi) diberikan selama 2 minggu (12 hari). Jumlah perhitungan subjek dengan G-power didapatkan minimal 10 responden, responden diambil secara total sampling, dan didapatkan 12 balita yang mengalami gizi kurang dengan BB/TB pada rentang Z score = -2 s/d =-3. Data pengetahuan, sikap, dan perilaku orang tua dikumpulkan dengan kuesioner dan dianalisis dengan uji T dependen. Sedangkan data berat badan dan tinggi badan diukur sebelum dan setelah intervensi dengan analisis GLM-RM. Hasil penelitian adalah terdapat peningkatan berat badan dan tinggi badan sebelum dan setelah intervensi positive deviance (pos gizi) karena makanan yang diberikan kandungan gizinya disesuaikan kebutuhan nutrisi balita. Selain itu terjadi peningkatan pengetahuan, sikap dan perilaku ibu sehingga praktik dalam memberikan makanan untuk balita menjadi lebih baik. Kesimpulannya bahwa positive deviance (pos gizi) sebagai salah satu intervensi komprehensif yang dapat diterapkan untuk mengatasi gizi kurang pada balita di masyarakat.
