Abstract

Hyperthyroidism is a condition characterized by increased production and secretion of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland. This condition is indicated by a significant increase in triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) levels, which is generally caused by an autoimmune response that attacks the thyroid gland. This study aims to determine the pattern of use of hyperthyroid drugs based on medical record data and outpatient BPJS prescriptions at Hospital X during the period January to December 2023. This research is an observational study with a quantitative approach using descriptive methods, and data collection is done retrospectively. Results based on patient characteristics based on age, dominated by the age group with a range of 26-35 years as many as 56 people (29.47%) and gender dominated by women as many as 148 people (77.89%). Results based on the pattern of use of antithyroid drugs in hyperthyroid patients show that based on the type of drug, propylthiouracil (PTU) is more widely used in patients with hyperthyroidism as much as 124 uses (65.26%) and the class of drugs used in hyperthyroid patients with Thionamide group, obtained a percentage of 100%.

Abstract

This study aims to conduct phytochemical screening and standardization of guava leaf ethanol extract (Psidium guajava L.) originating from Gunung Putri, Bogor Regency, West Java. The extract was derived by means of maceration procedure utilizing 96% ethanol as the extraction medium, and phytochemical analysis confirmed the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, saponins, terpenoid/steroid compounds, as well as glycosides. Quality evaluation based on specific and non-specific parameters showed results that met the standards: drying loss of  (<10%), total ash content of (<8,4%), specific gravity of 0.99 g/mL, water content of 5.2% (<10%), and negative heavy metal contamination. These results indicate that guava leaves from the Gunung Putri area have a phytochemical profile and extract quality that are suitable for the development of standardized herbal preparation raw materials. Geographical aspects also contribute to the validity of the results and can be a reference for standardization based on plant growing areas.

Abstract

Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) is an essential preventive health strategy to improve community well-being; however, its implementation remains suboptimal in several rural areas. This study aimed to describe the implementation of PHBS and analyze the relationship between knowledge, education level, income, and age with household PHBS status in Ranombupulu Village. A descriptive analytic design with a cross-sectional approach was used, involving 81 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the Chi-square test. The results showed that only 45.7% of households properly implemented PHBS. Statistical analysis revealed no significant relationship between PHBS status and knowledge (p=0.952), education level (p=0.990), income (p=0.781), or age (p=0.890). The study concludes that PHBS implementation remains low and is not influenced by sociodemographic characteristics. Continuous health education and improved community support and facilities are recommended to strengthen PHBS adoption.

Abstract

Male infertility remains a global health problem, contributing to approximately 50% of all cases of infertility in couples. One of the main factors causing decreased sperm quality is oxidative stress, which can damage cell membranes, reduce motility, and impair sperm viability. Mango leaves (Mangifera indica L.) are known to contain various bioactive compounds, such as mangiferin, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, triterpenoids, and steroids, which have strong antioxidant activity and potentially provide protection to germ cells in the testes. This paper aims to examine the effect of mango leaf extract on sperm function through parameters of motility, viability, and cellular protection mechanisms against oxidative stress. The results of the study indicate that antioxidant compounds in mango leaves play a role in neutralizing reactive oxygen species (ROS), maintaining membrane integrity, and supporting spermatogenesis. Thus, mango leaf extract has the potential to be a natural phytotherapeutic agent to improve sperm quality and support male reproductive health.

Abstract

Mefenamic acid, a meclofenamate derivative, is a type of NSAID that inhibits the formation of the cyclooxygenase enzyme. This cyclooxygenase enzyme converts arachidonic acid into prostaglandins. Therefore, if this drug is given as a pain reliever to children or adolescents during their growth period, it will disrupt the longitudinal growth process of their bones. This study aims to evaluate the level of public knowledge in RT 010 RW 009, Menteng Village, Central Jakarta, regarding the use of mefenamic acid tablets as an NSAID analgesic. The method used is descriptive with a quantitative approach and involved 64 respondents selected based on inclusion criteria. The results show that the average level of public knowledge is in the sufficient category (63,20%). Respondents are predominantly in the 17–25 year age group with a vocational high school education level. Only 35.90% of respondents have received direct education from health workers. This finding emphasizes the importance of more intensive educational interventions from health institutions so that the public uses drugs appropriately and wisely.

Abstract

Background: Immunothrombosis is an evolutionarily conserved host defense mechanism integrating innate immunity and hemostasis to limit pathogen dissemination through localized thrombus formation. While physiologically protective, dysregulated immunothrombosis contributes to thrombo-inflammatory diseases. Objective: This narrative review summarizes emerging cellular and molecular mechanisms linking innate immunity and coagulation, with emphasis on their pathological and therapeutic implications. Methods: A narrative literature review was conducted using Scopus-indexed journals retrieved from PubMed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect, prioritizing review articles and landmark original studies published between 2013 and 2025. Main Findings: Immunothrombosis is orchestrated by neutrophils, platelets, monocytes, endothelial cells, and complement systems through mechanisms including neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation, tissue factor expression, inflammasome activation, and immune–coagulation crosstalk. Conclusion: Immunothrombosis represents a fundamental biological bridge between innate immunity and hemostasis, offering novel therapeutic targets in thrombo-inflammatory disorders.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) in Kendari City has shown an increasing trend, highlighting the need for spatial analysis to identify high-risk areas. This study analyzed the spatiotemporal patterns of TB incidence and their correlation with environmental factors (population density, households with smokers, temperature, humidity, and rainfall) during 2020–2024 using an ecological study design and secondary data. The results indicate that TB cases increased from 567 in 2020 to 1,111 in 2024, with high-risk clusters consistently observed in Abeli District, while Nambo District remained in the low-risk category. Among all variables, only temperature showed a significant correlation with TB incidence (p = 0.005; r = 0.361). These findings emphasize the importance of spatiotemporal mapping to support the identification of priority areas for TB control.
