Abstract

Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an opportunistic pathogen with a strong capacity for biofilm formation, which enhances resistance to antibiotics. Although nutmeg (Myristica fragrans) seeds and mace have been extensively studied, research on nutmeg leaves is limited despite their content of flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and triterpenoids with antimicrobial potential. Objective: This study evaluated the antibiofilm activity of nutmeg leaf extract against MRSA biofilm formation in vitro. Materials and Methods: Biofilm assays were conducted using MRSA isolates. The optimal incubation time for biofilm formation was first determined, followed by treatment with nutmeg leaf extract. Results: MRSA formed optimal biofilms at 48 h (OD = 0.101 ± 0.012). Nutmeg leaf extract significantly reduced biofilm formation (OD = 0.083 ± 0.010) compared with the negative control (OD = 0.118 ± 0.009) and the positive control, tetracycline (OD = 0.096 ± 0.011) (p = 0.001). While the reduction was statistically significant, the difference from tetracycline was modest. Conclusion: Nutmeg leaf extract demonstrated significant antibiofilm activity against MRSA in vitro. These findings support its potential as a complementary natural agent for managing biofilm-associated infections, warranting further studies to isolate active compounds and assess synergistic effects with standard antibiotics.

Abstract

Background: Mangosteen rind (Garcinia mangostana) contains anthocyanins, which have potential as natural dyes. One promising application is as a substitute for malachite green in the Kato-Katz technique, a fecal examination method used to detect helminth eggs such as Ascaris lumbricoides. Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of mangosteen peel extract at various concentrations (25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%) as an alternative staining agent in the Kato-Katz method. Materials and Methods: This laboratory-based experimental study utilized fecal samples positive for A. lumbricoides, which were examined using the Kato-Katz method with selophane tape soaked in mangosteen rind extract. Observed parameters included egg count per gram of feces (epg), clarity of egg morphology, and background contrast under the microscope. Results: The 75% concentration yielded the best performance, with optimal background staining, clear egg morphology, and the highest average egg count (853 eggs per gram). Concentrations of 25%, 50%, and 100% showed lower effectiveness. Conclusions: A 75% concentration of mangosteen rind extract is effective as a natural dye substitute for malachite green in the Kato-Katz method, providing good visual contrast and supporting accurate identification of helminth eggs

Abstract

Background: Typhoid fever is an infectious disease caused by Salmonella typhi and remains a significant public health problem in endemic regions. The incidence continues to rise annually, particularly among children. During infection, the immune system responds through both hematological and serological mechanisms, including increased neutrophil counts and the production of Immunoglobulin M (IgM). Neutrophils act as the first line of defense against bacterial invasion, while IgM is the earliest antibody produced during acute infection. Although many studies have independently examined hematological and serological parameters in bacterial infections, limited research has explored the relationship between neutrophil counts and Salmonella IgM in pediatric typhoid fever, especially in endemic areas such as Banjarnegara, Indonesia. Objectives: This study aims to analyze the relationship between neutrophil counts and Salmonella IgM results in pediatric patients with typhoid fever. Materials and Methods: This study is a cross-sectional design utilizing secondary data obtained from the Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and Laboratory Information System (LIS). Results: The results showed that 18 patients (47.4%) had normal or high neutrophil counts, while 2 patients (5.3%) had low neutrophil counts. Regarding Salmonella IgM results, 5 patients (13.2%) tested negative, whereas 33 patients (86.8%) tested positive. Conclusions: The Spearman statistical test yielded a p-value of 0.002 (p < 0.05) with a correlation coefficient of 0.480, indicating a significant relationship between neutrophil counts and Salmonella IgM results at Emanuel Hospital, Banjarnegara. The correlation between neutrophil counts and Salmonella IgM results is considered moderate.

Abstract

Background: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an infectious disease caused by the dengue virus and transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Without prompt management, DHF can lead to severe complications and death. The World Health Organization (WHO) identifies thrombocytopenia and increased hematocrit as key diagnostic parameters for DHF. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the correlation between hematocrit levels and platelet counts in patients with Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever at Emanuel Hospital, Banjarnegara. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study used secondary data from the hospital’s Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and Laboratory Information System (LIS). Statistical analysis was performed using Pearson’s correlation test. Results: The analysis showed a significant negative correlation between hematocrit and platelet counts in DHF patients (r = –0.760, p < 0.001). Conclusions: The findings indicate that an increase in hematocrit is associated with a decrease in platelet counts, emphasizing the importance of simultaneous monitoring of both parameters in the clinical management of DHF. This study contributes to local epidemiological data and underscores the potential of these laboratory indicators as practical tools for assessing disease severity.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major contributor to kidney failure worldwide. Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) is widely recognised as a marker for glycemic regulation, yet its association with renal function decline is not fully clarified. Objective: This study investigates the association between HbA1c levels and renal function indicators, namely creatinine, urea, and microalbumin, in individuals with DM. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional approach was utilised, analysing retrospective data collected from the medical records of DM patients participating in the Prolanis program in Bondowoso Regency during 2024. Correlation tests and linear regression were used to determine the relationship between HbA1c and the selected renal parameters, with a statistical significance threshold of p < 0.05. Results: Most patients exhibited HbA1c levels and renal parameters within normal limits. Nonetheless, a statistically significant positive correlation was identified between elevated HbA1c levels and increased concentrations of creatinine (p = 0.020), urea (p = 0.01), and microalbumin (p = 0.01). Conclusion: Higher HbA1c levels are associated with deteriorating kidney function among DM patients. However, HbA1c should not be solely relied upon as a standalone marker for renal impairment. Further investigations are necessary to elucidate the biological pathways involved and to evaluate the potential of HbA1c control in mitigating kidney disease progression.
