Abstract

Introduction: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains the leading cause of maternal mortality. In Indonesia, the maternal mortality rate in 2023 was 189 per 100,000 live births, with hemorrhage as the dominant cause. Retained placenta is an important factor because it inhibits uterine contractions, especially in mothers aged ≥35 years, multiparous, anemic, and with chronic energy deficiency (CED). Case description: A 36-year-old multiparous woman (G4P3A0) with CED and mild anemia developed PPH after failure of placental delivery despite active management of the third stage. Estimated blood loss was ~1200 mL. Manual placental exploration, uterotonics, and fluid resuscitation were provided, followed by hospital referral. Ultrasound confirmed retained placental tissue, and curettage was performed. The patient stabilized after comprehensive treatment Discussion: Older maternal age, multiparity, chronic energy deficiency (CED), and anemia contribute to impaired myometrial contractility and failure of placental separation. Chronic energy deficiency (CED) and anemia reduce energy reserves and the oxygen-carrying capacity of uterine tissues, thereby increasing the risk of retained placenta and Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). Conclusion: Retained placenta and Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) are closely associated with maternal risk factors, including age ≥35 years, multiparity, anemia, and chronic energy deficiency (CED). Early detection of risk factors during antenatal care, as well as immediate and coordinated management in the third stage of labor, are very important to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality

Abstract

Introduction: Soft tissue tumors arise from mesenchymal tissues, with lipoma and liposarcoma being common types derived from adipose tissue. Considering the increasing prevalence of tumors in Jakarta, updated data on these specific cases are essential for better diagnostic and preventive measures. Objective: This study aims to determine the data profile of lipoma and liposarcoma patients at the Anatomical Pathology Laboratory of Siloam Cancer Special Hospital MRCCC Semanggi Jakarta during 2018–2019. Method: This research used a descriptive method with a cross-sectional approach. Data were collected from secondary medical records of all patients diagnosed with lipoma and liposarcoma at the laboratory. Result and Discussion: The study identified 56 cases in total, consisting of 52 cases of lipoma (92%) and 4 cases of liposarcoma (8%). Lipoma was predominantly found in patients aged 40–60 years, consistent with global epidemiological trends, while liposarcoma cases remained rare but clinically significant due to their malignant nature. Conclusions: Lipoma is significantly more prevalent than liposarcoma at this facility. These findings provide baseline data for clinical management and further epidemiological studies in specialized cancer hospitals in Indonesia

Abstract

Introduction: Cancer can impair nutritional status due to alterations in the metabolism of energy, protein, fat, and micronutrients, which may lead to malnutrition and require nutritional support through enteral formulas. The development of enteral nutrition based on local food ingredients offers a potential alternative to improve accessibility and nutritional quality for patients. Objective: This study aimed to develop an enteral formula based on tempeh flour as a source of plant protein and carrot flour as a source of beta-carotene, and to evaluate its physical characteristics and sensory acceptability. Method: A completely randomized design with three formulations was employed, analyzing viscosity, osmolarity, flow rate, moisture content, color parameters, and sensory evaluation. Result and Discussion: All formulations met viscosity and flow rate standards. Formula 2 demonstrated the closest flow rate to the commercial product and achieved the highest sensory scores. However, osmolarity across all formulations exceeded recommended ranges, and moisture content surpassed the ideal limit, potentially affecting product stability. No significant differences were found among formulations in sensory parameters. Conclusions: Formula 2 was identified as the most preferred formulation with characteristics closest to the commercial product. However, improvements are required in terms of osmolarity and moisture content to meet the standard requirements for enteral nutrition products

Abstract

Introduction: Self-esteem plays an important role in mental health and personal development. However, limited evidence is available regarding the relationship between mother–daughter relationships and self-esteem among midwifery students, particularly in the Indonesian context. Objective: This study aims to examine the association between mother-daughter relationship and self-esteem among undergraduate midwifery students at Brawijaya University. Method: with a cross-sectional. A total of 174 female students were selected from cohorts 2022–2024. The Mother-Adult Daughter Questionnaire (MADQ) was used to assess mother-daughter relationship and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) was used to measure self-esteem. Data were analyzed using Spearman rank correlation and ordinal logistic regression. This study employed an observational analytical design. Results and Discussion: Most respondents had high self-esteem and strong mother-daughter relationships. All three dimensions connectedness (r 0.386; p < 0.05;), interdependency dimension has a significant relationship with self-esteem (p < r 0.189; p<0.05), and the trust in hierarchy (; r 0.278 ; p < 0.05) were significantly associated with self-esteem. In multivariate analysis, only connectedness remained a significant predictor. Conclusion: Mother-daughter relationship are significantly associated with self-esteem among midwifery students, with emotional connectedness emerging as the most influential factor. These findings highlight the importance of supportive family relationships in promoting students’ psychological well-being

Abstract

Introduction: Low utilisation of public healthcare services remains a persistent challenge influenced by multiple individual and environmental factors. The Community Health Centre (Puskesmas), as a primary healthcare facility, plays a critical role in improving community health status. Key determinants such as accessibility, culture, family support, and perceptions of illness and services are considered central to understanding patterns of healthcare utilisation. Objective: This study aims to identify and analyse the determinants of public healthcare service utilisation in the working area of the West Ampana Community Health Centre, Tojo Una-Una Regency. Method: A quantitative analytical approach was employed involving 99 respondents selected using Slovin's formula. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analysed using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analysis with SPSS. Results and Discussion: Significant relationships were found between accessibility, culture, family support, perceptions of illness and services, and healthcare utilisation (p < 0.005). Multivariate analysis revealed that accessibility and culture were the most dominant influencing factors, indicating that structural and sociocultural barriers substantially limit community engagement with available health services. Conclusion: Healthcare service utilisation is shaped by accessibility, culture, family support, and perceptions of illness and services. Improving culturally sensitive approaches and health education by healthcare workers are essential strategies to enhance service utilisation and optimise primary healthcare engagement at the community level

Abstract

Introduction: Wasting in toddlers remains a significant problem affecting growth and development, requiring affordable and nutritionally adequate interventions such as enteral formulas based on local food ingredients. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the acceptability of an enteral formula made from chicken liver, eggs, and coconut milk as an alternative for managing wasting in toddlers. Method: A combination of true experimental and quasi-experimental research with a completely randomized design was conducted from July to August 2025 using three formulations (F1, F2, F3). Chicken liver flour was produced through drying at 90°C for 3 hours, followed by grinding and sieving. Organoleptic testing involved 15 untrained panelists using a 7-point hedonic scale, and data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests. Result and Discussion: The shrinkage of chicken liver into flour reached 86.7% and 93.05%. Osmolality values ranged from 258-296 mOsm/kg, lower than the commercial product (491 mOsm/kg), while moisture content ranged from 3.76-4.02%, comparable to the commercial product (3.77%). Flow rate ranged from 0.56-1.20 sec/ml. Color values showed l* 31.4-39.9, a* 3-3.45, and b* 7.8-10.4 with no significant differences (p>0.05). Organoleptic results indicated that Formula 1 had higher preference scores (color 5.73, aroma 4.80, overall 4.73) compared to other formulas, although taste, texture, and overall aspects showed significant differences (p<0.05). Higher chicken liver content tended to reduce acceptability, particularly in taste. Conclusions: The best formula was F1 (20 g chicken liver flour and 20 g egg flour), which showed the highest overall acceptability and comparable physical characteristics.

Abstract

Introduction: Disorders of Sex Development (DSD) are rare congenital conditions with high diagnostic complexity. Objective: To describe the challenges in the diagnosis and management of DSD in South Kalimantan through two case reports. Method: Data were obtained from the medical records of two DSD patients in South Kalimantan. Results and Discussion: Case 1: A 10-day-old 46,XX neonate with ambiguous genitalia (Prader III), hyperkalemia (K 8.8), hyponatremia (Na 134), and hypoglycemia. Salt-wasting Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) was diagnosed (17-OHP 237 ng/mL). Case 2: A 17-year-old raised female with progressive virilization since age nine. Examination showed Prader IV, 7-cm phallus, bilateral testes (10–12 mL), absent Müllerian structures, and 46,XY karyotype, suggesting Partial Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (PAIS) or 5α-reductase deficiency. Both cases reflect regional limitations: unavailable comprehensive hormonal testing, genetic molecular analysis, and no permanent multidisciplinary DSD team. Conclusions: Limitations in diagnostic resources at the regional level significantly impact the optimization of DSD patient management, necessitating the development of diagnostic capacity and multidisciplinary collaboration
