Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease that causes high morbidity and mortality globally. The prevalence of hypertension continues to increase, including in Indonesia, including Barru Regency with a high incidence rate. One factor that is thought to play a role is high uric acid levels or hyperuricemia. Hyperuricemia can trigger activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and oxidative stress, which contribute to increased blood pressure. Several studies have shown a close relationship between uric acid levels and the incidence of hypertension. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the relationship between uric acid levels and the incidence of hypertension in Takkalasi Village, Barru Regency. Methods: This type of research is a cross sectional study approach with a sampling technique, namely purposive sampling with a total of 23 samples each in the hyperuricemia group and non-hyperuricemia group so that the total sample is 46 samples. The research data is primary data taken directly in August - September 2024 in Takkalasi Village, Barru Regency which was then analyzed using the chi square test. Research Results: It was found that non-hyperuricemia respondents who suffered from hypertension were 21.7% and hyperuricemia sufferers who experienced hypertension were 32.6%. The chi square test that has been carried out shows a value of p=0.0139 (p>0.005). Conclusion: Uric acid levels are not significantly associated with hypertension. Even so, people are still asked to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Abstract

The implementation of Self-Registration Booth (SRB) aims to enhance healthcare service quality by providing a streamlined, efficient, and user-friendly registration process. This study evaluates the impact of SRB on healthcare service quality at Dr. OEN Hospital Solo using the SERVQUAL model, focusing on five dimensions: Tangibles, Reliability, Responsiveness, Assurance, and Empathy. A descriptive-quantitative approach was applied, involving 100 outpatient respondents and interviews with five registration staff members. The results indicate an overall satisfaction score of 3.6, with Tangibles scoring the highest (3.8) and Empathy the lowest (3.4). Technical issues such as system errors, BPJS integration problems, and slow response times were identified as significant challenges. Despite improvements in efficiency, the role of registration staff remains crucial, especially in assisting patients unfamiliar with the system. Recommendations include enhancing system reliability, user guidance, and integration with BPJS to improve service quality.

Abstract

Pterygium prevalence varies globally, with Indonesia demonstrating a high incidence, affecting a notable proportion of individuals bilaterally and unilaterally. Outdoor occupation is a recognized etiological factor, significantly associated with pterygium in Sulawesi, Indonesia, accounting for a large percentage of cases. This study investigated the influence of job-related risk factors on pterygium development in Malang City. Seventy-six participants completed questionnaires, and data were analyzed using appropriate statistical methods. Significant associations were found between several occupational aspects and pterygium presence, including working outdoors, duration of sun exposure, length of employment, and use of protective eyewear. Further analysis revealed that these occupational risk factors substantially impact the likelihood of developing pterygium, increasing the odds by a certain degree. Specifically, prolonged sun exposure, extended work periods, and the absence of UV protection during work were associated with a considerably higher risk. Interestingly, while outdoor work is a risk factor, its impact on the odds of developing the condition appears comparatively smaller than these other factors. In conclusion, job-related risk factors play a significant role in pterygium development in Malang City, with extended sun exposure, long working durations, and the lack of UV protection being the most influential elements, while outdoor work itself presents a less pronounced increase in risk.

Abstract

Background : Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a common condition affecting women of reproductive age, marked by a variety of physical, emotional, and behavioral symptoms that typically arise a few days before menstruation and diminish afterward. While the exact cause remains uncertain, hormonal fluctuations throughout the menstrual cycle are believed to be a key factor. Management strategies for PMS include both pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches, one of which is soy milk consumption. Soy milk contains isoflavones, naturally occurring plant compounds that mimic estrogen activity and may help ease PMS symptoms. This study seeks to examine the impact of soy milk consumption on alleviating PMS symptoms in adolescent girls.. Methods : The research employed a pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design, conducted from March 3 to 17, 2025. A total of 18 participants were selected using purposive sampling, and the sample size was determined using the Federer formula. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test with SPSS version 16.0. Results of the Paired T-test showed that the p-value ≤ α (0.05), namely 0.001 < 0.05, indicating that H1 is accepted and H0 is rejected. Conclusion : The data indicates that the administration of soy milk has an effect in reducing premenstrual syndrome symptoms in adolescent girls.

Abstract

Background : Cognitive abilities represent a fundamental component of mental functions, encompassing processes such as perception, thinking, memory, and information processing. These cognitive functions are essential in facilitating individuals to acquire knowledge, address challenges, and formulate future plans. Data from UNICEF (2022) reveals that children aged 36–59 months across the globe continue to face challenges in their cognitive development. In Indonesia, about 7.51% of children under the age of five exhibit signs of developmental delays. Additionally, the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) reported in 2020 that approximately 60% of preschool-aged children in the country experience issues related to cognitive development. One effective and enjoyable approach to stimulate cognitive growth in early childhood is through the use of educational games. Among these, the giant snakes and ladders game has been recognized for its potential to enhance cognitive functioning in young children. Research Methods : This research utilized a pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design. Participants were selected through purposive sampling based on predetermined criteria. Data collection was carried out using structured observation sheets, and the results were analyzed through a paired sample t-test. The findings revealed a 2-tailed significance value of 0.000, which is below the threshold of 0.05. This indicates a statistically significant impact of the giant snakes and ladders game on the cognitive development of children aged 5 to 6 years at Cut Nyak Dhien Kindergarten in Malang City. Conclusion : Hence, the giant snakes and ladders educational game has been shown to be an effective pedagogical medium for promoting and enhancing cognitive development among early childhood learners.

Abstract

Background: Type 1 hypersensitivity reactions are characterized by IgE elevation, cytokine release, and eosinophil recruitment leading to airway inflammation. Fingerroot rhizomes (Boesenbergia rotunda) contain flavonoids such as panduratin A with potential anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory properties.Aim: To evaluate the effect of Boesenbergia rotunda rhizome extract (BRE) on IgE, TNF-α, eosinophil counts, tissue necrosis, and alveolar cell proliferation in ovalbumin (OVA)-induced Wistar rats.Methods: Twenty-five male rats were divided into five groups: negative control, positive control, and three BRE treatment groups (350, 700, 1400 mg/kg BW). OVA was administered intraperitoneally (days 0, 7, 14) and via inhalation (days 19–22). BRE was given orally from days 15–22. IgE and TNF-α were measured by ELISA, while lung histology was assessed for eosinophils, necrosis, and alveolar proliferation.Results: BRE significantly reduced eosinophil counts, necrosis, and alveolar proliferation compared with the positive control (p < 0.05). The highest dose (1400 mg/kg) showed effects similar to the negative control. IgE and TNF-α changes were less consistent.Conclusion: BRE exhibits anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory activity in OVA-induced rats, mainly by reducing eosinophilic infiltration and lung tissue damage. It shows promise as a natural therapeutic candidate, meriting further safety and clinical studies.
