Abstract

The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2, or COVID, was announced by WHO on February 11, 2020.  Examination of SARS-CoV2 by RTq-PCR method in Labkesda Kab. Sukabumi is one of the health service support units in the Sukabumi area. The number of PCR examination requests is increasing every day, whereas, at this stage, the temperature increase process should reach the recommended temperature of 90°C, which can take 20-25 minutes. Sometimes ATLM has processed specimens at 60°C - 90°C. Given the required temperature at the time of extraction, which is at a temperature of 90 degrees, here the researchers wanted to prove whether below 90 degrees had an effect on the virus extraction process. This study aims to determine the effect of differences in extraction temperature on the SARS-CoV2 RTq-PCR examination process on CT VALUE on patient specimens. The variable in this study was the difference in temperature consisting of 60°C, 80°C, and 90°C. This research used quantitative research methods with case studies. This study is an experimental study to determine the effect of temperature differences on the CT value of the RTq - PCR examination. The population of this study were 30 patients at LABKESDA Kabupaten Sukabumi. This analysis used a one-way ANOVA test analysis with software. IBM SPSS 23.0. It may be concluded that there is no significant difference in the CT Value findings on the SARS-CoV2 RTq-PCR Examination since the study's p-value was 0.758, which is more than 0.05.

Abstract

Candidiasis is an acute or chronic inflammation that causes disorders of the body's system caused by the fungus Candida albicans. Candida albicans is a common cause that does not cause disease in a person's normal immune system but can attack a person's poor system. Candidiasis can be treated with antifungal drugs, but prolonged and extensive use of antifungal drugs causes side effects. So alternative drugs are needed that can reduce these side effects. Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) has pharmacological activity as an antifungal. Research Objectives: To determine the inhibition of lemongrass extract on the growth of Candida albicans in an SDA medium with concentrations of 0%, 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8%, and 1%. The study used a descriptive research design. The method of testing the resistance is carried out by the good diffusion method. Lemongrass extract can inhibit the growth of Candida albicans fungus by forming an inhibition zone. At a concentration of 0% lemongrass extract, no inhibition zone was formed, a concentration of 0.2% formed an inhibitory zone of 10.5 mm, a concentration of 0.4% formed an inhibition of 6.1 mm, a concentration of 0.6% formed an inhibition zone of 14 mm, the concentration 0.8% formed an inhibition zone of 10.8 mm, a concentration of 15 formed an inhibitory zone of 27.6 mm.

Abstract

Tofu, which is rich in protein, has long been consumed by the people of Indonesia as a side dish. Tofu is a food made from fermented soybeans and extracts from it. One of the metals that is dangerous and should not be eaten is zinc (Zn). Zinc is a type of heavy metal that is soft and easy to purify. This study aims to determine the content of heavy metal zinc (Zn) contained in tofu by using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). The advantages of an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) are specific, low detection limit, from the same solution, several different elements can be measured, can be applied to many types of elements in many types of samples, limit levels that can be determined are very area (mg/L to percent). This research uses a descriptive-analytical method to describe or provide an overview of the object under study through the data. And this research uses the wet destruction method, namely the destruction of the sample with the addition of a solution of nitric acid (HNO3) followed by heating and filtering. The results showed that the concentration of heavy metal Zn in tofu was 0.161 ppm, 0.139 ppm, 0.161 ppm, 0.152 ppm, 0.153 ppm, 0.154 ppm, 0.159 ppm, 0.174 ppm, 0.185 ppm, 0.141 ppm, 0.159 ppm and 0.164 ppm. The conclusion is that the levels of tofu Zn contain zinc metal Zn with levels of 10.3325 mg/kg. The levels of zinc metal Zn are still below the threshold level, so tofu is still safe for consumption.

Abstract

One of the most strongly related reproductive diseases in obese women is a polycystic ovarian syndrome. PCOS also suffer other comorbidities, such as insulin resistance. This review focus on identifying the metabolic and reproductive effect of diet and exercise in obese PCOS women. We searched for articles published from January 2004 to February 2022 and used electronic databases. We used the purposive sampling method then these articles were selected by inclusion and exclusion criteria. Lifestyle modification programs with an emphasis dietary and exercise interventions have been successful in reducing the risk of comorbidities in the general population and improving reproductive and metabolic features in PCOS. Lifestyle modification should be incorporated in treating obese PCOS patients to reduce their long-term risks for diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and cardiovascular disease and to increase the probability of spontaneous pregnancy. However, the specific guideline for lifestyle modification emphazising in diet and exercise for PCOS patients requires the large size of clinical trial research to find the best type of interventions in lifestyle modifications with the same outcome parameters.

Abstract

Coffee is a popular and much-loved drink in Indonesian society to relieve drowsiness or increase stamina when working. This is because in coffee, there is an active compound, namely caffeine. Although it has benefits, in fact, caffeine will have a negative impact on the body if consumed in excess. The Indonesian National Standard 01-3542-2004 has determined that the limit value of caffeine content in food and beverages is 0.45–2% w/w. This study aimed to determine the caffeine content of packaged coffee sold in the community using a UV-Vis Spectrophotometer. The results of the analysis showed that 16 of the 20 samples analyzed had caffeine levels in accordance with the provisions of the Indonesian National Standard, while the other 4 samples had caffeine levels above the specified value. Even sample Q has a caffeine content of 7.12% w/w, far above the threshold value. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that there are still packaged coffees containing caffeine above the specified threshold value. So, consumers should pay attention to the amount of caffeine consumed so as not to cause a negative impact on their health.

In order to sustain client loyalty and satisfaction, X Hospital must maintain and enhance its services. Companies must devise the best marketing strategy to deal with the challenge of the Service Marketing Mix's influence on consumer purchase decisions. Especially for service marketing (7p) in the form of products, prices, promotions, places, people, processes and physical evidence. The hospital has important medical support, one of which is a laboratory. The laboratory unit has not conducted a service satisfaction survey. Conducting a service survey is crucial as a critical component of medical diagnosis. This is also based on the 2019 X Hospital's first-semester periodic report, 49.95% of patients received laboratory services. This amount fell short of the predetermined goal. Further investigation is required to determine how patient loyalty and satisfaction in the laboratory unit of X Hospital might be impacted by the analysis of marketing mix relationships. This research aims to analyse the relationship between the marketing mix and patient satisfaction and loyalty in the laboratory unit of X Hospital in 2022. The method employed is analytic quantitative with a cross-sectional approach. The result of the direct influence value is 0.077 and the indirect effect is 0.556, meaning that the indirect effect value is greater than the direct influence value. The research's conclusion there is a relationship between the marketing mix and customer satisfaction and loyalty at X Hospital's laboratory unit in 2022.

Abstract

Based on the rules from the government contained in the Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 31 of 2019, the Public Health Center information system can be implemented electronically so that the data obtained can be stored safely. An electronic health center information system must have an application, an internet, and a local network (LAN). This can also support Health Promotion activities through electronic media and online reporting to the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia. This research aims to apply innovative health education to the problem of low Tuberculosis patient visits. This is done by analyzing a fishbone diagram and determining priority solutions to problems that have resulted in no real follow-up plans (RTL) so that targets have not been met and there has been no evaluation action at the Parongpong Health Center. This activity is carried out in several stages, namely 1) problem analysis with fishbone, 2) USG (urgency, seriousness, growth), and 3) SWOT analysis. Furthermore, counseling was carried out to all people in the Parongpong sub-district. The results obtained from calculating the score using the SWOT analysis are to make regulations on procedures and standard operating procedures (SOP) for the use of the Tuberculosis Information System (SITB) to optimize health information management at the Parongpong Health Center, West Bandung Regency, Indonesia.
