Abstract

Abstract Introduction:Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia, which results from decreased insulin secretion, impaired insulin action, or both. This condition can lead to the formation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS. Red betel leaf contains saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids, and tannins, which act as antioxidants. Methods: This study was a laboratory experimental research using a true experimental design with a posttest-only control group approach. The samples were divided into five groups: negative control, positive control, treatment 1 (150 mg/kgBW), treatment 2 (250 mg/kgBW), and treatment 3 (350 mg/kgBW). Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test followed by the Post Hoc Tukey HSD test. Results: The Kruskal-Wallis test showed a significant difference in the liver histopathology of white rats induced with alloxan after administration of red betel leaf extract, with a p-value of 0.002 (p < 0.05). Discussion: The administration of red betel leaf extract proved to have positive effect on improving liver histopathology in alloxan-induced rats, with the most effective result observed at a dose of 350 mg/kgBW, showing nearly normal liver cell structures. Conclusion: Red betel leaf extract has significant effect on the liver histopathology of alloxan-induced white rats (Rattus norvegicus), with the most effective dose being 350 mg/kgBW.

Abstract

Introduction: Red betel leaf has secondary metabolite compounds, namely flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins and tannins. Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia due to decreased insulin secretion, impaired insulin action, or both which produce Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). Red betel leaf extract is expected to reduce damage to the pancreas by inhibiting the formation of ROS by the antioxidants contained therein. Method: This research is a laboratory experimental study with a true experimental design posttest only with a control group approach. The sample was divided into 5 groups, where each group consisted of 6 rats. Necrosis and degeneration were assessed in pancreas preparations. The data were analyzed by the Kruskal-Wallis test and followed by the Post Hoc LSD test. Results: The Kruskall-Wallis test found a significant difference between administration of red betel leaf extract and histopathological features of the pancreas of necrosis rats with p = 0.000 and degeneration with p = 0.001 (p<0.05). Discussion: The administration of red betel leaf extract proved to have positive effect on improving pancreas histopathology in alloxan-induced rats. Conclusion: There was a significant difference between the histopathological features of rat pancreas (Rattus norvegicus) after being given red betel leaf extract (Piper crocatum).

Abstract

Introduction: Red betel leaves (Piper crocatum) contain flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, and tannins, which have antidiabetic properties. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia due to impaired insulin secretion or action, leading to increased production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). The antioxidants in red betel leaf extract are expected to reduce ROS formation and protect cardiac muscle from DM-induced damage.. Methods: This laboratory experimental study used a true experimental post-test only control group design. Thirty rats were divided into five groups: positive control (KK+), negative control (KK−), and treatment groups (KP1, KP2, KP3), each consisting of six rats. Histopathological features of cardiac muscle, including interstitial fibrosis, ventricular myocyte hypertrophy, and intramyocyte lipid deposits, were assessed. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test and Post Hoc LSD. Results: There was a significant difference in ventricular myocyte hypertrophy between groups (p = 0.009), but no significant differences were observed in interstitial fibrosis (p = 1.000) and intramyocyte lipid deposits (p = 0.866). Discussion: Red betel leaf extract at 150 mg/kg body weight effectively reduced ventricular myocyte hypertrophy in diabetic rats Conclusion: Red betel leaf extract significantly reduced ventricular myocyte hypertrophy but had no effect on fibrosis or intramyocyte lipid deposits.

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a tropical infectious disease caused by the dengue virus, which is transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito and often leads to outbreaks. One of the key efforts to prevent DHF is through the implementation of the 3M Plus strategy. A critical factor influencing the effectiveness of 3M Plus prevention efforts is the level of public knowledge regarding the dangers of DHF. Knowledge serves as a foundation for community-based prevention, starting from the most basic social unit—the family. As the primary decision-maker, the head of the family is considered important in possessing adequate knowledge about DHF prevention to protect their family members from infection. This study aims to examine the relationship between the knowledge level of family heads regarding the dangers of DHF and the implementation of the 3M Plus prevention strategy in the working area of the Oesapa Community Health Center. This research used an analytical survey method with a cross-sectional design. The study population included all family heads in the Oesapa Health Center's working area. Samples were selected using systematic random sampling, resulting in a total of 100 respondents. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Chi-Square test via SPSS software. The results showed that most family heads had good knowledge about the dangers of DHF, and there was a significant relationship between their knowledge level and the implementation of the 3M Plus prevention strategy in the Oesapa Health Center working area (p ≤ 0.05).

Abstract

A 41-year-old male with a 2-month history of left-sided abdominal pain and renal stones was treated at Prof. W. Z. Johannes Hospital, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The patients’ primary drinking water sources were rivers and refillable bottles, which elevated the risk of kidney stones. Plain radiography and MSCT imaging revealed a 5 cm x 3.5 cm staghorn stone in the left kidney. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) was performed in the supine position using the C-arm. A nephroscope was inserted through a small incision to visualize and extract the stone. Post-extraction, C-arm imaging assessed the kidney, and a nephrostomy tube was placed for drainage. Staghorn stones are large, branched stones that occupy much of the renal pelvis or calyces. The European Association of Urology (EAU) recommends PCNL as the first-line treatment for staghorn stones due to its high efficacy and low morbidity. PCNL, a minimally invasive approach, offers high stone-free rates, up to 95%, making it effective for stones over 20 mm. The patient's successful outcome highlights the efficacy of PCNL in managing staghorn stones, especially in areas with a high risk of kidney stones due to poor water quality. Early diagnosis and treatment avert severe complications such as recurrent infections and urosepsis.

Abstract

Abstract Prosocial behavior, such as helping others, plays a crucial role in supporting mental health, especially among college students who often face psychological challenges and require social support. Psychological First Aid (PFA) is one form of psychosocial support that peers can provide, and peer teaching—where students teach fellow students—is considered an effective method to foster prosocial behavior intentions while enhancing mutual support. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the peer teaching method in PFA training to increase prosocial behavior intention among students at Nusa Cendana University. A quasi-experimental design with a pre-test–post-test control group was used, involving 88 students grouped through cluster sampling into experimental group I (n=3), experimental group II (n=22), and a control group (n=63). Data were collected online using the Prosocial Tendencies Measure questionnaire and analyzed with repeated measures ANOVA. The results showed no significant differences in pre- and post-test scores across the groups (p-value within subjects = 0.360; between subjects = 0.632). These findings indicate that PFA training using the peer teaching method did not significantly improve prosocial behavior intention. It is recommended that future training incorporate practical field experiences with organizations such as hospitals or disaster response agencies to improve real-world impact.

Abstract

Background: Dandruff is a condition of exfoliation of the corneum layer of the scalp forming white flakes, which is most common in adolescents because the sebaceous glands actively produce sebum causing increased colonization of Malassezia sp. yeast, the cause of dandruff. A factor that influences the incidence of dandruff is personal hygiene behavior. Adolescents in orphanages have a high risk of experiencing dandruff due to poor personal hygiene behavior, one of which is the use of personal items alternating to fellow friends. Objective: To determine whether there is a correlation between personal hygiene behavior and the incidence of dandruff (Pityriasis sicca) in adolescents living in orphanages in Kelapa Lima Sub-District, Kupang City. Methods: This study used an observational analytic research design with a cross-sectional study design. Respondents were selected by purposive sampling method according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria by taking the minimum number of respondents using the Lemeshow formula so that 55 respondents were obtained. Data collection using personal hygiene behavior questionnaire and wood lamp inspection. Data analysis using the fisher exact test. Results: The correlation between personal hygiene behavior and the incidence of dandruff obtained p-value = 0.223 (p>0.05) with fisher exact test, so it does not have a significant correlation. Two items of personal hygiene behavior on the questionnaire, namely the use of sleeping pillows alone / changing with others has a p-value = 0.007 (p < 0.05), and shampooing after completing outdoor activities and long-term exposure to polluting dust has a p-value = 0.016, so it has a significant correlation with the incidence of dandruff. Conclusion: There is no significant correlation between personal hygiene behavior and the incidence of dandruff in adolescents living in orphanages in Kelapa Lima District, Kupang City.

Abstract

Over the past three decades there have been many studies that have shown that low levels of cardiorespiratory fitness are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. One way to improve cardiorespiratory fitness is to increase exercise, where resistance training is one of the exercises that can be done. The best way to measure cardiorespiratory fitness is by measuring the value of (VO2 max). To determine the effect of resistance training on increasing VO2 max. The type of research conducted was quasi experimental with a pretest and posttest non equivalent design approach. The research was conducted on students of the Seminar Biara Hati Kudus with 40 respondents, who were divided into two groups, namely the treatment and control groups. There was a significant increase in VO2 max value with p=0.000 in the treatment group. However, there was no significant increase with a value of p=0.249 in the control group. There were also significant results when comparing posttest values between the treatment and control groups with a value of p = 0.036. Resistance training with the push, pull, and leg method three times a week for three weeks can affect the increase in VO2 max.
