Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a major public health concern in tropical regions such as Indonesia, where environmental and behavioural factors play crucial roles in its transmission. This study aimed to analyse the factors associated with the incidence of DHF in the working area of the Belawan II Community Health Centre in Medan. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design was employed. A sample of 110 housewives was selected via purposive sampling from a population of 150 housewives in the area. Data were collected through questionnaires and observation, then analysed using univariate, bivariate (Chi-Square test), and multivariate (logistic regression) methods. Bivariate analysis revealed significant associations between DHF incidence and the following factors: education level (p=0.001), housewives' knowledge (p=0.000), 3M Plus behaviour (p=0.000), health promotion services (p=0.000), and the presence of mosquito larvae (p=0.000). In contrast, variables for age (p=0.161) and occupation (p=0.898) showed no significant association. Multivariate analysis identified health promotion services as the dominant factor associated with DHF incidence (OR=0.029; 95% CI=0.010-0.084; p=0.000), with housewives' knowledge serving as a supporting factor. In conclusion, DHF prevention efforts in the Belawan II area should prioritise enhancing the quality and coverage of effective health promotion services, complemented by improving household-level knowledge and preventive practices, alongside sustainable control of mosquito breeding sites.

Abstract

Infection by Streptococcus pneumoniae represents a significant global health concern, necessitating the exploration of novel antimicrobial agents, particularly in light of escalating antibiotic resistance. This study aimed to identify the phytochemical constituents and to evaluate the antibacterial activity of an ethanol extract of Ashitaba leaves (Angelica keiskei) against S. pneumoniae. This experimental study employed a post-only control group design. Extraction was performed using ethanol via maceration, followed by qualitative phytochemical screening. Antibacterial activity was assessed using the disc diffusion method at concentrations of 50, 100, and 150 mg/mL, with ciprofloxacin as a positive control. Inhibition zone data were analysed using non-parametric statistical tests. Phytochemical screening indicated the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, tannins, glycosides, and steroids/triterpenoids. The extract demonstrated antibacterial activity with mean inhibition zones of 16.57 mm at 50 mg/mL, 26.23 mm at 100 mg/mL, and 29.87 mm at 150 mg/mL. Statistical analysis revealed no significant difference in inhibition zones among the three extract concentrations, whereas all concentrations differed significantly from the positive control, ciprofloxacin (53.67 mm). It is concluded that the ethanol extract of Ashitaba leaves contains diverse bioactive compounds and exhibits significant in vitro antibacterial activity against S. pneumoniae, although its efficacy remains inferior to the synthetic antibiotic ciprofloxacin.

Abstract

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a neurological disorder caused by compression of the median nerve, commonly observed among workers performing repetitive movements. Online motorcycle taxi drivers represent a high-risk group due to demands for extended working hours and non-ergonomic riding postures. This study aimed to analyse the association between working posture, working duration, and complaints of CTS among online motorcycle taxi drivers. This observational analytical study employed a cross-sectional design and involved 92 online motorcycle taxi drivers in the Universitas Prima Indonesia area, Medan, selected via consecutive sampling. Data were collected using a characteristics questionnaire, the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ), Phalen's Test, and posture observation using the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA). Data were analysed using the Chi-Square test. Results indicated that 57.6% of respondents reported CTS complaints. The majority of respondents worked longer than 8 hours per day (66.3%) and had low-risk working postures (48.9%); however, the proportion of CTS was highest among those with high-risk postures (72.4%). Statistical analysis revealed a significant association between working posture and CTS occurrence (p=0.041) and between working duration and CTS occurrence (p=0.009). Working longer than 8 hours per day conferred a 3.2-fold increased risk of developing CTS. It is concluded that poor working posture and prolonged working duration are significantly associated with a higher incidence of CTS among online motorcycle taxi drivers. Ergonomic interventions, regulation of working hours, and occupational health education are recommended for prevention.

Abstract

Halitosis is an oral health problem frequently associated with salivary condition, particularly its degree of acidity (pH). Acidic salivary pH supports the growth of anaerobic bacteria which produce volatile sulphur compounds, the primary cause of oral malodour. A non-pharmacological approach with the potential to neutralise salivary pH is the use of natural substances, such as avocado fruit (Persea americana), which contains bioactive compounds with antibacterial and acid-buffering effects. This study aimed to determine the effect of avocado consumption on salivary pH in students with halitosis. A quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest model was employed. The sample consisted of 38 students meeting the inclusion criteria of having acidic salivary pH and halitosis. Salivary pH was measured before intervention, and at 30 and 60 minutes after subjects chewed 10 grams of avocado 32 times. Data were analysed using the Friedman and Wilcoxon tests with a significance level of 5%. The results demonstrated a significant increase in salivary pH 30 minutes after avocado consumption, from an acidic towards a neutral state (p < 0.05). However, at the 60-minute measurement, salivary pH returned to baseline and showed no significant difference compared to pre-intervention values (p > 0.05). This indicates that the effect of avocado consumption on increasing salivary pH is transient. In conclusion, consuming avocado fruit can significantly increase salivary pH in the short term and may help reduce halitosis, although regular consumption coupled with diligent oral hygiene practices is necessary to maintain this effect.
