Abstract

Background & Objective: Alcoholic Liver Disease is a liver disorder caused by excessive and long-term alcohol consumption. Alcoholic liver disease is divided into fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, and cirrhosis. Liver damage can be influenced by many factors such as viruses, bacteria, drug toxicity, chemicals, and excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages. There is a direct relationship between the consumption of hard alcoholic beverages and mortality due to liver cirrhosis. Disruption of mechanisms in the liver can result in swelling with an increase in transaminase enzymes produced by the liver. This research aims to determine Gamma-GT levels in the serum/plasma samples of adolescent alcohol drinkers in Pagerbarang District.    Method: This type of research is descriptive research. This method uses total sampling with 30 samples as respondents. Result: The results showed that the 30 research samples had an average respondent age of 15-20 years with a duration of alcohol consumption of 1-3 years. The research results found that all 30 samples had normal Gamma-GT levels. Conclusion:  Consuming alcoholic beverages in excessive volume and duration will cause liver damage due to the toxicity of the end products of alcohol metabolism, such as acetaldehyde and hydrogen ions.

Abstract

Background & Objective: Blood glucose is a sugar found in the blood that is formed from carbohydrates in food and stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles. Glucose is one of the important carbohydrates used as the main source of energy in the body. Blood glucose test results exceeding the normal level of 200 mg/dl may indicate that a person has diabetes mellitus. This study aims to determine the difference in blood glucose levels between the POCT method and the spectrophotometer. Method: The study design is analytical, using random sampling with 30 participants, and statistical analysis was performed using the Paired T-Test and Wilcoxon test. Result: The results of this study using the Paired T-Test showed that POCT data is normally distributed (sig value = 0.208 > 0.05), while spectrophotometer data is not normally distributed (sig value = 0.003 < 0.05). Meanwhile, the Wilcoxon test yielded a sig value of 0.000 < 0.05. Conclusion: The results of blood glucose level measurements using the POCT method showed an average value of 128.83 mg/dl, while the spectrophotometer results showed an average value of 88.07 mg/dl. Based on the statistical test results, the sig value was 0.000 (p<0.5), meaning H0 was rejected. This means that the difference between the two measurement methods is statistically significant.

Abstract

Background & Objective: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a condition characterized by the gradual and permanent decline of kidney function, which can lead to various complications, including anemia. Anemia in CKD patients is generally caused by reduced production of the hormone erythropoietin, iron deficiency, and the shortened lifespan of red blood cells due to the hemodialysis process. Erythrocyte index parameters, such as MCV, MCH, and MCHC, play a crucial role in determining the type of anemia in CKD patients. Method: This study used a descriptive design with a quantitative approach. The sample consisted of 30 CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis, selected using total sampling technique. Erythrocyte indices were examined automatically using a hematology analyzer. The data were analyzed and presented in the form of a frequency distribution table. Result: The examination results showed that the most dominant type of anemia was normochromic normocytic anemia (47%), followed by hypochromic microcytic anemia (37%), normochromic microcytic anemia (10%), and hypochromic normocytic anemia (6%). The average patient hemoglobin level was 8.4 g/dL and the average erythrocyte count was 2.7 million/µL Conclusion: The majority of CKD patients at Bendan Hospital, Pekalongan City, experience normochromic normocytic anemia. This finding highlights the importance of regular monitoring of erythrocyte indices to support the diagnosis and management of anemia in CKD patients.

Abstract

Background & Objective: Pneumonia remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality, particularly among vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and immunosuppressed patients. In addition to being caused by bacteria and viruses, fungal infections can also exacerbate a patient's condition, but they are often overlooked because they are not always the primary focus of laboratory testing. This study aims to describe the morphology of fungi in the sputum of pneumonia patients at Bendan General Hospital in Pekalongan City as initial data that can be used to support earlier diagnosis of fungal infections. Method: This study is descriptive in nature, using direct microscopic examination with three methods: Gram staining, Lactophenol Cotton Blue (LPCB), and 10% Potassium Hydroxide (KOH). Sputum samples were collected purposively from pneumonia patients and examined at the AAK Pekalongan Microbiology Laboratory. Result: Out of 26 samples, 17 were positive for fungi (65.4%) using the Gram and LPCB methods. The KOH method showed 5 positive samples (19.2%). The fungal morphology observed included yeast cells (blastospores) and branched hyphae, consistent with the characteristics of fungi from the genus Candida spp. Conclusion: Microscopic examination using Gram and LPCB methods provided a more easily observable descriptive morphology of fungi, such as yeast cells and branched hyphae. Meanwhile, the KOH method yielded lower results (19.2%), possibly due to limitations in preparation techniques or the nature of the reagents, which did not clearly display fungal structures as effectively as other methods using additional stains. These findings emphasize the importance of direct microscopic examination as an initial step that can help identify the presence of opportunistic fungi in pneumonia patients and support clinical diagnosis considerations in the laboratory.

Abstract

Background & Objective: Hematocrit is the percentage of erythrocyte volume in blood that is important for assessing health status, especially in relation to oxygen transport capacity. Hematocrit tests can be performed manually (microhematocrit) or automatically (hematology analyzer). Differences in the working principles of the two methods can cause variations in results. This study aims to determine the difference in hematocrit values using the microhematocrit method and the automatic hematology analyzer. Method: This study is analytical in nature with a quantitative approach, using 30 venous blood samples from outpatients at Kraton Pekalongan Regional General Hospital. The examination was performed using the microhematocrit method and the automatic hematology analyzer. The data were analyzed using normality tests and Paired Sample T-Tests using SPSS. Result: The average hematocrit value using the manual microhematocrit method was 33.33%, while the average value using the automatic hematology analyzer was 32.41%. The statistical test results showed a significant value of 0.075 (P> 0.05), indicating that there was no significant difference between the two methods. Conclusion: There was no significant difference between the hematocrit values obtained by the microhematocrit method and the automatic hematology analyzer. Both methods can be used interchangeably depending on the availability of equipment and clinical needs.

Abstract

Background & Objective: Fungal infections of the scalp, particularly tinea capitis, are a common health problem in environments with poor hygiene, such as Islamic boarding schools (pondok pesantren). This study aims to identify the types of fungi infecting the scalps of male santri who regularly wear the peci (a traditional cap) at the Al-Ikhlas Islamic Boarding School in Kebagusan, Ampelgading, Pemalang. Method: The study used a descriptive method with a laboratory approach, involving culture on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) medium and microscopic examination for fungal identification. Result: Out of 20 scalp scraping samples analyzed, 75% showed positive results for fungal infection. The most dominant fungus found was Aspergillus sp., while Candida sp. was found in only one sample (5%). No infections by Trichophyton or Microsporum were detected. Questionnaire results supported the laboratory findings, indicating that only 10.8% of santri regularly shampooed their hair, 13.5% washed their peci periodically, and 35.1% reported symptoms of scalp itching. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that the habit of wearing the peci without proper hygiene maintenance can be a significant risk factor for scalp fungal infections. Therefore, preventive efforts through personal hygiene education and routine examinations are needed to reduce the incidence of fungal infections in the pesantren environment.

Abstract

Background & Objective: Suturing skills are a fundamental competency in both nursing and medical education. To support the mastery of this skill, effective, realistic, and pedagogically appropriate training tools are essential. Various materials have been employed to create suture training models; however, no single material has emerged as universally ideal or standardized globally. Aims: This review aims to identify the types of materials used in suturing training tools, evaluate their strengths and limitations, and assess their contribution to the global development of simulation-based training devices. Method: This study is a literature review analyzing five recent and relevant scientific articles. The selection criteria included thematic relevance, publication year, and a focus on evaluating suture training tools or materials. Analysis was conducted using the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist for Case Reports. This literature review highlights aspects such as material properties, advantages, disadvantages, and implications for educational practice. Result: The review identified five primary categories of materials used in suture training tools: (1) polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with silk fibers, (2) silicone pads and polyurethane foam, (3) porcine skin, sponges, and commercial pads, (4) improvised combinations such as citrus fruits and tea towels, and (5) synthetic polyurethane-based skin. Each material offers specific benefits, such as high realism, durability, or affordability. Nevertheless, all materials exhibit limitations, including ethical concerns, hygiene issues, and limited anatomical fidelity. Conclusion: This literature review indicates that no single material fully satisfies all requirements for suturing training. A combined and contextual approach considering learning objectives, cost, and local availability emerges as a pragmatic alternative. The contribution of this review lies in strengthening the global research direction toward the development of accessible, inclusive, and adaptable medical simulation tools tailored to diverse healthcare education settings worldwide.
