Abstract

With the pressing demands of healthcare for most families, especially parents, different perceptions and challenges can be drawn when accessing healthcare needs and services, which can potentially drive people to generate certain attitudes towards alternative treatments or CAM in addressing health disparities. Hence, this study aimed to measure the perceived healthcare access and attitudes towards complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) among randomly selected fifty parents in a mountainous barangay in Cebu City, Philippines through a descriptive correlational approach. Data were collected using two valid and reliable 5-point adapted Likert-type survey questionnaires. Findings revealed that perceived healthcare access was rated average, while attitudes towards CAM were high. The variables were also not found to be significant r (48) = -.057, p = .694189, p > 0.05 at a = 0.05, thus accepting the null hypothesis of no significant relationship, and concluding that there is a weakly negative correlation (r = -.057) between the perceived healthcare access and attitudes towards CAM among the parents. This means that the views of parents regarding the availability and access to healthcare services do not entirely but can weakly influence their positive outlook towards alternative medicines and treatments, as it could potentially come from other factors such as inherited tradition, socio-cultural influence, preference, and prior experience of efficacy. This negative relationship suggests that limited healthcare access leads to more prominent use of alternative medicines, and vice versa. This study recommends implementing policy changes, emphasizing the need to improve access to services in low-income areas, especially in mountainous barangay.

Abstract

Hypertension is one of the diseases that often threatens pregnancy that occurs after 20 weeks of gestation. Tanah Bumbu is one of the regencies in South Kalimantan Province with 75 cases of maternal mortality rate (MMR) in 2022. To asses the relationship between maternal age, parity, body mass index (BMI), history of hypertension, and stress with the incidence of hypertension in pregnancy (HiP) in RSUD dr. H. Andi Abdurrahman Noor Tanah Bumbu Regency. This is an analytic observational study using a cross sectional approach with 85 samples using the purposive sampling technique. The research instruments were questionnaires. The dependent variable was: the incidence of HiP, while independent variables were: maternal age, parity, BMI, history of hypertension, and stress. Prevalence Odds Ratios (PORs) and 95% Confidence Intervals (95% CIs) were determined by using bivariate and multivariate analysis using binomial logistic regression tes. The results showed that there was an association between age (p=0.000), BMI (p=0.030), history of hypertension (p=0.000), and stress (p=0.000) and HiP, but not for parity (p=0.087). The stress was mostly associated with the incidence of HiP (Adj. OR= 1.964; 95% CI 2.816-79.516, p value=0.001). There was a relationship between maternal age, BMI, history of hypertension, and stress, but there was no relationship between parity and the incidence of HDK. The variable most associated with the incidence of HiP is stress.

Abstract

Obesity is predicted to become a global public health problem, especially in developing countries. Obesity is characterized by a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or more, which is calculated by dividing a person's weight by the square of their height (in kilograms per square meter). The incidence of obesity by age increased from 4.6% in 1980 to 14.0% in 2019. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 2 billion adults are classified as overweight, while another 650 million people are categorized as obese. Based on a national survey, the obesity rate in Indonesia is 23.1%, while in South Sulawesi province it is 31.6% (Riskesdas, 2018). This can alter the gut microbiota structurally and functionally, and the gut microbiota can also modulate nutritional status. A certain abundance and diversity of bacteria may facilitate energy storage and metabolic pathways that lead to obesity. Dietary interventions with probiotics, prebiotics, or synbiotics may be effective in counteracting the disturbances observed in the gut microbiota during obesity or unbalanced diets, as they may be able to reduce and maintain body weight. Intestinal anaerobic bacteria, including Firmicute and bacteroids, can hydrolyze carbohydrates that cannot be digested by the intestine, obtaining short chain fatty acids (SCFA) including acetate, propionate and butyrate, which have an impact on human health. Therefore, anaerobic bacteria can inhibit obesity.

Abstract

A 36-year-old male presented to the hospital with a chief symptom of dyspnea that began one day before admission and increased during the night upon admission. The individual does not experience nausea, vomiting, heartburn, and has regular urination and normal bowel movements. Loss of appetite and fatigue. There is no prior record of comparable grievances. The existence of a history of trauma cannot be refuted. Past medical history: The patient had pulmonary TB and completed treatment in April 2023. During the physical examination, the patient's overall condition was observed to be moderately unwell, with a clear and alert state of consciousness. Assessment of vital signs revealed a blood pressure of 117/84 mmHg, a pulse rate of 65 beats per minute, a respiratory rate of 25 breaths per minute, a body temperature of 37°C, and an oxygen saturation level of 94%. In the thoracic region, the examination reveals the following findings: - Inspection shows movement of the chest wall on the left side. - Palpation detects weakened tactile fremitus on the left side. - Percussion produces a hypersonor sound on the left side. - Auscultation reveals normal vesicular sounds on the right side and weak vesicular sounds on the left side. Rhonchi are not present, but wheezing is heard in both sides of the chest. The supporting studies yielded a complete blood count within normal range, a VCT examination showing non-reactive HIV antibodies, a TCM sputum examination with undetectable MTB findings, and a chest X-ray examination indicating left pneumothorax and active pulmonary TB.

Abstract

Currently on the market there are many circulating toothpastes for cleaning teeth and treatment, but they contain synthetic chemicals that can cause health problems, such as fluoride and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). This material can irritate the gums and mouth, gums feel burning, sensitive teeth and discomfort on the tongue. Traditionally, andaliman fruit has been used as a refreshing and deodorizing agent and prevents tooth decay by gargling for about 10 minutes. One natural ingredient that has been proven to have antibacterial activity and has often been used to eliminate bad breath and body odor is combrang flower (Etlinger elatior Jack). Therefore, the author utilizes the combination of andaliman fruit and combrang flowers in toothpaste formulations with the aim of obtaining a natural toothpaste that is relatively safe and economical. The formulation of toothpaste preparations uses a combination of andaliman fruit and combrang flowers concentrations of 2.5%, 5%, and 10% with a ratio (75:25); (50:50); and (25:75). Evaluation of the preparation includes tests of homogeneity, pH, stability, cleaning power, organoleptic with hedonic test, irritation test of volunteer skin, and antibacterial activity against mutant Streptococcus and Escherichia coli. Toothpaste preparations containing a combination of dry pollen of combrang flowers and andaliman fruit have good cleaning power, no irritation, and can eradicate Streptococcus mutans and Escherichia coli bacteria with strong categories. The best formula is with the content of combrang flowers and andaliman fruit 75:25, because although the cleaning power is smaller, it has the strongest antibacterial, so the resulting toothpaste provides benefits for cleaning and dental care, safe and economical.

Abstract

The natural human environment is inhabited by various organisms, including those harmful to the body such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other pathogens. This condition weakens the immune system's response to pathogens, making the body more susceptible to diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, and other inflammations. In some cases, this condition can be fatal, leading to death. This study aims to examine the immunomodulatory effects of Ethanol Extract of Lime Peel on phagocytosis activity and delayed-type hypersensitivity response in experimental animals. The research methods include sample collection and processing, plant identification, extract preparation, and immunomodulatory effect testing. Phytochemical screening results showed the presence of alkaloids, glycosides, flavonoids, tannins, and steroids in the extract of the lime peel. Simplicia and ethanol extract of lime peel characterization yielded results meet the standards of the Indonesian Herbal Pharmacopoeia 2nd edition. Immunomodulatory effect testing was conducted through phagocytosis activity and delayed-type hypersensitivity response assays. The results showed that the extract at doses of 25, 50, and 100 mg/kgBW had immunostimulatory effects in enhancing phagocytosis activity, while doses of 17.5 mg/kgBW, 35 mg/kgBW, and 70 mg/kgBW significantly increased delayed-type hypersensitivity response compared to the negative control. These findings indicate the potential of ethanol extract of Citrus aurantifolia as an immunomodulator that can enhance the body's immune system. This study provides an important contribution to the development of immunomodulatory therapy derived from natural ingredients such as lime peel for managing immunity-related diseases with lower side effects.

Abstract

Stroke is a global health problem in the world as it is the leading cause of disability in adults. Stroke is a disease or functional disorder of the brain in the form of nerve paralysis caused by impaired blood flow to one part of the brain. Stroke globally ranks third in mortality after coronary heart disease (13%) and cancer (12%) in developed countries. The method used is literature review with Narrative Review design. The results obtained in this literature are that there are 8 articles obtained with restrictions from 2020 - 2023 and in-depth analysis of the strengths and limitations of each article on post-stroke pain characteristics has been carried out. 8 articles that discuss post-stroke pain characteristics, 4 articles mention post-stroke pain characteristics based on gender, 3 articles mention post-stroke pain characteristics based on pain. Based on the results of the identification and review of several in this literature review, it can be concluded that there are several characteristics of post-stroke pain including central post-stroke pain, spasticity-related pain, poststroke complex regional pain syndrome and shoulder pain. Early recognition of post-stroke pain is very important, as the prognosis will be better if the pain is treated early and aggressively.

Abstract

Perimenopause itself is defined as the permanent cessation of menstruation due to loss of ovarian activity confirmed by the onset of amenorrhea for 12 consecutive months in the absence of other pathological or physiological causes, occurring at the age of 42 years until menopause. In perimenopausal women, besides decreasing estrogen levels, there is also a decrease in calcium absorption which causes osteoporosis. Where dates contain iron, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus and potassium, but it also contains phytochemical compounds such as phytosterols and phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens have the same structure and function as endogenous estrogens that serve to exert a major effect on women on bone remodeling and also control the timing of osteoclast apoptosis. Objective : To determine the relationship between giving ajwa dates to calcium levels in perimenopausal women. Method : Literature review with narrative review design. Results : Based on several journals that have been reviewed, it can be concluded that giving ajwa dates can inhibit the decrease in bone density in elderly women, where the active substances that play a role in this are calcium and phytoestrogens. Conclusion : Giving ajwa dates can inhibit the decrease in bone density in elderly women. Keywords : ajwa date (Phoenix dactylifera L), perimenopause, calcium.
