Abstract

Introduction: Soil-Transmitted Helminths (STH) remain a major public health concern, particularly in areas with limited sanitation. Conventional staining using 2% eosin, although effective, poses drawbacks due to its non-biodegradability, toxicity, and flammability. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the potential of ethanol extract from the fresh peel of Balangkasua fruit (Lepisanthes alata (Blume) Leenh) as a natural alternative reagent for the identification of Trichuris trichiura eggs. Method: A laboratory-based experimental design was conducted using fecal samples containing STH eggs. The fruit peel extract was prepared through maceration with ethanol and tested at concentrations of 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%, while 2% eosin served as the positive control. Staining quality was assessed based on egg color contrast, shell clarity, internal morphology, shape and size clarity, and background staining. Result and Discussion: Results showed that the 100% extract yielded the highest score (13), categorized as good staining quality, while lower concentrations (20%–80%) were classified as moderate. The positive control consistently achieved superior results (score 19, very good). Statistical analysis using the Kruskal–Wallis test revealed significant differences among treatment groups (p < 0.05). Conclusion: These findings demonstrate that L. alata peel extract possesses potential as an eco-friendly alternative stain, although further optimization of extraction methods, pigment stabilization, and validation across various STH species are necessary before replacing synthetic eosin in routine diagnostics

Abstract

Atrial Fibrillation (AF), the most prevalent variety of arrhythmia has an overwhelming prevalence in people over 65 years old, rendering it among the leading cardiovascular concerns. A literature search up to 2012 was carried out, including the following data bases: Medline, Google Scholar and Web of Science. The boolean terms word of this search were “Plasma Carbohydrate Antigen-125 OR PCA-125” AND “Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation OR RFCA” AND “Atrial Fibrillation OR AF” AND “Recurrent”. 36 articles are included in this review. Carbohydrate Antigen-125 (CA-125) expression shows its potency to predict a recurrent AF after RFCA procedures. CA-125 is released from mesothelial cells through protein cleavage, then released into body fluids, which play a role in protecting epithelial surfaces through lubrication and hydration processes. Myocardial remodeling results in pathological cardiomyocyte hypertrophy with re-expression of embryonic genes. During this process, proto-oncogenes are activated, which stimulate growth factors present in the embryonic heart, leading to increased CA-125 levels. Elevated levels of CA-125 in plasma may be an interesting option as an independent predictor of recurrent AF after RFCA.

Abstract

Introduction: Food poisoning resulting from biological contamination and inadequate food handling practices is a significant global public health concern. In Timor-Leste, the high number of restaurants that do not meet hygiene standards represents a real threat to food safety, particularly in food preparation. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between basic sanitation quality and the implementation of five key food safety practices and the quality of food preparation in restaurants in the Dom-Aleixo Administrative Region, Dili Municipality, in 2025. Method: This study used a quantitative analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 35 restaurants were sampled using an accidental sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and interviews, and analyzed using the chi-square test. Results: 71.4% of restaurants had good basic sanitation quality and implemented food safety practices in accordance with WHO standards. There was a significant relationship between sanitation quality and food preparation quality (p < 0.001). All restaurants with poor sanitation also demonstrated food preparation that did not meet standards. Human factors, such as the knowledge and attitudes of food handlers, are key determinants of the implementation of food safety practices. Recommendation: Restaurant owners are advised to provide regular training to staff on sanitation and food safety. Local governments also need to strengthen monitoring systems and provide regular training. Further research is recommended, including direct observation, to obtain more detailed and objective data.

Abstract

Introduction: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a non-progressive neuromotor disorder that causes increased muscle tone and impaired motor control, thus affecting functional ability and participation in adaptive sports such as Boccia. One of the main challenges in athletes with spastic cerebral palsy is the slow recovery of muscles due to spasms and fatigue. Cryotherapy is used in rehabilitation to lower spasticity, but scientific evidence on Boccia athletes is still limited. Objective:  This study was to analyze the effectiveness of cryotherapy on the physical recovery process in Boccia athletes with spastic cerebral palsy. Methods: Pre–post experimental research without a control group in 18 Boccia athletes aged 18–35 years. Local cryotherapy is administered to the extremities for four weeks with a frequency of three times per week. Measurements were made using the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), hand-held dynamometer, and Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE). Results and Discussion: Results showed a 26% decrease in muscle tone, a 14% increase in muscle strength, and a 15% decrease in fatigue perception after cryotherapy. Physiologically, this effect is related to decreased stretch reflex activity and increased neuromuscular efficiency due to local vasoconstriction and slowing down of nerve conduction. Conclusion: Cryotherapy effectively accelerates the physical recovery of Boccia athletes with spastic CP through improvements in muscle tone, strength, and fatigue.

Abstract

Introduction: Adolescence is a crucial period of physical and psychological development, often accompanied by dissatisfaction with body image. Many adolescents struggle to accept their body shape, which can influence eating behavior and physical activity, ultimately affecting nutritional status. Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between body image, eating behavior, and physical activity on the nutritional status of adolescents. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 115 medical students from the Faculty of Medicine, Christian University of Indonesia, Class of 2018. Data were collected through online questionnaires, including the Body Shape Questionnaire-34, Eating Attitude Test-26, and International Physical Activity Questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the chi-square test. Result and Discussion: The analysis showed that eating behavior had the most significant influence on nutritional status, with a p-value of 0.035. This finding indicates that irregular eating patterns and excessive dietary control may contribute to imbalanced nutrition among adolescents. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between eating behavior and nutritional status among adolescents. Promoting healthy eating habits and positive body perception is essential to maintain optimal nutritional health during adolescence.

Abstract

Introduction: Cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD) is a labor-related condition caused by a mismatch between fetal size and maternal pelvic capacity, resulting in obstructed labor and potential maternal-fetal complications. It may arise from pelvic contraction, excessive fetal growth, or a combination of both. Objective: This study aims to report a case of cephalopelvic disproportion with a history of previous cesarean section and anemia in a 29-year-old pregnant woman. Method: A descriptive case-report approach was used. Clinical data were collected from medical records, including patient history, physical examination, laboratory results, and obstetric management procedures. Result and Discussion: The patient, gravida 2 para 1 abortus 0, presented with abdominal tightening, visual disturbances, and a known history of narrow pelvis and previous cesarean delivery. Examination confirmed cephalopelvic disproportion with anemia. Labor progression was stagnant, indicating mechanical obstruction. Cesarean section was performed successfully, and pharmacological treatment was administered to manage anemia and postoperative recovery. Conclusion: This case illustrates the importance of early identification and multidisciplinary management of cephalopelvic disproportion in patients with previous cesarean section and anemia to prevent maternal and neonatal complications
