Abstract

Continuously performing heavy activities will damage tissues and cells and cause oxidative stress. Fortunately, this damage can be reduced by giving antioxidants to reduce free radicals. This study uses the forced swimming test model to determine the effect of Javanese ginseng root extract on superoxide dismutase levels in male white Sprague Dawley rats. The samples were 30 white Sprague Dawley rats divided into five groups: the negative control group, the positive control group, treatment group 1 receiving Javanese ginseng extract at a dose of 0.35mg/200g BW/day, treatment group 2 receiving a dose of 0.70mg/200g BW/day, and treatment group 3 receiving a dose of 1.4mg/200g BW/day. On days 28 and 35, the rats were treated with the FST model. Meanwhile, on days 28 and 35, SOD levels were measured using the xanthine-xanthine oxidase method. The effect was analyzed using statistical analysis. The administration of Javanese ginseng extract at doses of 0.35 mg/200g BW rats/day, 0.70mg/200g BW rats/day, and 1.40 mg/200g BW rats/day could significantly increase SOD levels (p < 0.05). The administration of 1.40 mg/200g BW rats/day could increase a SOD level up to normal and give the same effect as the administration of xanthine (p > 0.05) does. In conclusion, the administration of Javanese ginseng extract significantly increases SOD levels in the rats by using the FST model. This study suggests to increases the potential of Javanese ginseng root as a natural-based antioxidant supplement by investigating human subjects, especially athletes and bodybuilders

Abstract

The effect of violence on women's sexual reproductive health is of significant importance; this study aimed to study the association between gender-based violence with unintended pregnancy and common sexual reproductive health conditions. The size of the study sample was 102, who were survivors of violence. Direct interviews collected the data, and the researchers used a structured 30-question questionnaire. Results showed that early marriage was significantly associated with unintended pregnancy. The mean of unintended pregnancy for the marriage age group <=18 years was 1.79, which is higher than the mean of the>18 years marriage age group. The t-value is 2.616, and the significance value is 0.010, meaning there are statistically significant differences in unintended pregnancy in favour of the age group <=18 years. Results also indicated the prevalence of unmet needs for contraception in the study sample was 55% among survivors. 26% of women received inadequate antenatal visits primarily due to financial reasons, and almost half (47%) of births were delivered by the Cesarian section; the most popular method is IUD. In conclusion, gender-based violence is a consistent and strong risk factor for unintended pregnancy, especially in the child marriage age group, so it's necessary to overlook sexual reproductive health among survivors of violence as it might be threatened.

Abstract

Preeclampsia and eclampsia are types of gestational hypertension that are considered causes of maternal and perinatal death. Preeclampsia in severe conditions will result in eclampsia accompanied by symptoms of seizures or decreased consciousness. In the condition of preeclampsia, antihypertensive therapy is needed. The use of antihypertensives in patients with Preeclampsia and Eclampsia, namely methyldopa and labetalol, is the first line, and hydralazine, nifedipine, prazosin, and clonidine are the second line. The design of this study is a descriptive cross-sectional study to see the relationship between diagnoses and types of treatment. This research was conducted at Dr.H.Jusuf SK Hospital, Tarakan City, North Kalimantan Province, with secondary data from medical records as research data. The research subjects were pregnant women diagnosed with preeclampsia and eclampsia without accompanying comorbid diseases, with a sample of 49 respondents using a total sampling system. The results of this study found that one patient was diagnosed with Mild Preeclampsia with a single therapy, 45 patients were diagnosed with Severe Preeclampsia with a single therapy, a combination of 2 drugs and a combination of 3 drugs, and three patients were diagnosed with eclampsia with single therapy and a combination of 4 drugs. The data from this study showed a relationship between diagnosis and the type of treatment therapy with a significant value of 0.004 (p<0.05). The findings of this study can be used as a guide for medical therapy by healthcare professionals.

Abstract

In our study, it was aimed to examine "antibiotic (AB) prescribed infections" (ABPI) in patients receiving home care service (HCS) in the last year. Patients receiving HCS from a tertiary hospital were evaluated (n=176). In addition to descriptive information such as demographics, devices used and chronic diseases, ABs prescribed to patients in the last year and infections that were the reason for their prescription were screened retrospectively. It was determined that 138 patients had been prescribed AB at least once. In total, 691 ABs were used in 550 prescriptions. It was observed that the most common ABPI was urinary tract infection (44.9%), and the most commonly prescribed AB was amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (n=123). Using assistive devices for breathing and lung disease increased the risk of lower respiratory tract infection, for which ABs were prescribed at least once. These predictive factors were feeding with a nasogastric catheter or percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy for upper respiratory tract infections and using a urinary catheter for urinary tract infections. Our study revealed the most common ABPI in patients receiving HCS and the factors predicting them. These findings will shed light on the planning and management of HCS.

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis is a deadly infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Pulmonary tuberculosis is very easily resistant to drugs, so treating it takes a long time. In the process of treatment, the role of the family is needed as the closest unit to the patient to supervise. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the part of family support and adherence to treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis clients. The research design used was analytic descriptive research with a cross-sectional study approach. The sample in this study was 30 people, who were taken using the total sampling technique—data analysis using Chi-square on SPSS. The results showed that the role of a good family was 53.3% and less was 46.7%. The frequency of client compliance is 80% and 20% non-compliant. The results of the statistical test showed that the p-value was smaller than the ? value, which meant that there was a relationship between the role of family support and adherence to treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis clients in the working area of ??the Wara Public Health Center, Palopo City, South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. The long process of treating pulmonary TB will result in boredom and boredom in patients. Therefore, the family has an important role in monitoring and increasing the motivation of pulmonary TB patients to remain consistent in the treatment process. As the frontline in disease prevention and rehabilitation, health workers must always be active in providing health education to the community, especially to families of pulmonary TB sufferers, about the importance of family support in the patient's treatment process.

Abstract

Soil-Transmitted Helminths (STH) infections are the most widespread neglected tropical diseases, primarily affecting morbidity in School Age Children (SAC). STH infection in SAC remains a public health problem in Martapura River Banks. Early and accurate STH detection is essential to determine an effective treatment for reducing morbidity. The Health Department recommends detecting STH infection by Kato Katz (KK) but in public health centers only by the direct method. This research objective is to confirm STH infection prevalence by Kato-Katz (KK) in elementary school children in West Martapura River Banks, South Kalimantan, Indonesia, against the direct method. The modified KK templates were developed from acrylic material. A total number of 253 children 7-12 years old in four West Martapura elementary schools were examined for STHs eggs using both microscopies modified KK against direct method by two trained laboratory technicians. STHs infection prevalence was 50 (19.76%), interpreted as low prevalence by direct and 78 (30.83%), moderate by KK. The concordance between both methods was significantly based on Cohen’s kappa (?=0.682). Even though the concordance of both methods was strong, the prevalence of STHs by modified KK was 30.08% higher than by Direct, which was only 20.33% positive. This study recommended using the KK for STHs diagnostic for prevalence measurement in low STHs infection.

Abstract

Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) is an infection caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Drug therapy for Covid-19 patients currently uses broad-spectrum antivirals such as Remdesivir, Favipiravir, and Oseltamivir, which have side effects of impaired kidney function with a marked increase in serum urea levels. The study aims to analyze the relationship between antiviral administration and serum urea levels of Covid-19 survivors with student respondents from the Health Polytechnic of the Ministry of Health, Banjarmasin, Indonesia. The research method is an analytic survey with a case-control design. Samples were taken using the purposive sampling method and obtained from 10 respondents who were confirmed positive for Covid-19 who consumed antivirals, ten respondents who were confirmed positive for Covid-19 did not consume antivirals, and ten respondents who were not confirmed positive for Covid-19. The Urea test method uses the Rayto Chemray 120 Clinical Analyzer. The results showed that the average urea level of respondents who confirmed positive for Covid-19 who consumed antivirals was 37.35 mg/dl, and respondents who confirmed positive for Covid-19 who did not consume antivirals was 30.70 mg/dl. Respondents who were not confirmed for Covid-19 19 are 30.97 mg/dl. The study's conclusion showed a relationship between the administration of antivirals and serum urea levels of Covid-19 survivors. Suggestions for further research are to use different parameters in assessing the kidney function of Covid 19 survivors, such as creatinine and blood urea nitrogen.

Abstract

Physiotherapists and nurses are crucial members of the healthcare team, and members of the healthcare team should be aware of the importance of physical activity to promote it in society. This study aimed to assess the effects of physical activity levels on the quality of life and emotional state of first-year nursing, physiotherapy, and rehabilitation students. One hundred six first-year nursing, physiotherapy, and rehabilitation students participated in the study. Socio-demographic characteristics were appraised. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF) were administered to all participants. The activity level of 51.9 % of all students was inactive. The mean values of NHP-sleep, NHP-SI, NHP-1, NHP-2, and BDI scores were higher in nursing students than in physiotherapy and rehabilitation students (p<0.05). According to the results of this study, physical activity among first-year nursing and physiotherapy and rehabilitation students is insufficient. More studies are needed about the reasons for insufficient physical activities in students and how to increase awareness of physical activity.

Abstract

One natural ingredient that has the potential to heal wounds is betel leaf. This study aimed to analyze the healing effect of Incision wounds in Wistar rats when administering a microemulsion combination of green and red betel leaf extracts. This research begins with sample collection, drying process, and extraction. The extract was then formulated into emulgel as a microemulsion in three formulations. These three formulas, along with a positive control and a negative control, were tested on each Wistar rat incision wound. The results of the research showed that emulgel formula 3, which was tested on mice, had the best ability to heal wounds for an average of 2.5 days and kept the mice's body temperature normal; 36.6oC. Formula 3 contains 5% South Kalimantan red betel, 5% South Kalimantan green betel, 5% Central Kalimantan red betel, and 5% Central Kalimantan green betel. This proves that the combination of formula 3 can heal wounds and body temperature in experimental mice. Further research is needed to find the best composition that produces faster, more complete wound healing effects and safely impacts experimental animals.
