The hydrogel's optimum hydration ability can lyse slough and necrotic tissue (autolytic debridement ability). This study aims to determine the description of diabetic wound care using hydrogel as a modern dressing in the development of BWAT scores. The research design uses a case study method and consisting of 2 samples with grade II-III diabetic ulcers at Pedis Care Malang. The results of the study on subject I obtained the BWAT score on the first treatment was 33 and on the sixth day of treatment was 26, in subject II the first treatment was 37 and on the sixth day of treatment was 25, showed a decrease in the BWAT score, which means that diabetic ulcer healing progressed. The healing process of diabetic ulcer wounds is also influenced by the nutrients that enter the body, one of which is protein which plays a role in cell formation. The researcher's advice for both subjects is that they are expected to be able to maintain wound moisture with sustainable modern dressings until the wound is declared healed and increase nutrition as a supporting factor for wound healing.

Background: Hypertension is the number one cause of death in the world every year because it causes complex cardiovascular problems. Semarang City Department's 2023 health profile data shows the number of hypertension is 24,949. Practicing holding a handgrip is a non-pharmacological therapy for treating hypertension because it stabilizes blood pressure and heart rate. Many combination therapies are used, including combining handgrip exercises with sound waves. Natural sounds will stimulate the hypothalamus, resulting in a feeling of calm and have an effect on the blood pressure regulation mechanism. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of a combination of handgrip exercise and natural sounds on the blood pressure of clients with hypertension. This research method is a pre-experimental one group pre and post test design and sampling using purposive sampling technique. The population of this study were clients who were recorded as suffering from hypertension at the Sekaran Semarang Community Health Center. The research instrument uses a digital spygmomanometer and SOP for action. The research stages consist of preparation, implementation and processing of research data. The steps in the preparation stage are literature study, field survey, discussions with lecturers and experts, developing procedures for the combination of handgrip exercise and natural sounds, expert review, and socialization of the combination of handgrip exercise and natural sounds to clients and families. The implementation stage is carried out by collecting data on clients registered at the Sekaran Semarang Community Health Center, pre and post tests by measuring blood pressure using a spygmomanometer, implementing actions according to the prepared SOP, observing implementation using an observation sheet. In the data processing stage, a Paired Sample T-test was carried out to assess the effect of the combination of handgrip exercise and natural sounds on the blood pressure of clients with hypertension. The targeted output is publication in national journals indexed by Sinta and HAKI. The TKT target for this combination of handgrip exercise and natural sounds is level 2. The research results showed that 91.67% of respondents experienced an average reduction in systolic blood pressure of 10.69 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure of 6.11 mmHg. Based on the Paired Sample T-test, the results obtained were 0.000 for the systolic value and 0.001 for the diastolic value, both of which were smaller than the p value of 0.05, so it was concluded that there was an influence of the combination of handgrip exercise and natural sounds on the blood pressure of clients with hypertension. The results of this research can be input for related parties to implement a combination of handgrip exercise and natural sounds as non-pharmacological therapy for hypertension sufferers.

This study aimed to investigate the physiological impact of academic stress, particularly examination stress, on biochemical indices among college students at the University of Tikrit. A total of 60 healthy students (30 in an experimental group and 30 in a control group) aged 19-21 years participated in this cross-sectional study. Salivary samples were collected during pre-examination and post-examination periods to measure levels of cortisol, malondialdehyde (MDA), glucose, and total antioxidant capacity (TAC). The results indicated significant increases in cortisol, MDA, and glucose levels in the pre-examination period compared to the post-examination period, suggesting heightened stress responses. Conversely, TAC levels were significantly higher in the post-examination period, indicating a potential recovery or response to oxidative stress. The findings support the hypothesis that academic examinations can induce significant physiological stress in students, reflected by changes in salivary biochemical markers. These stress responses may influence overall student health and academic performance, suggesting the need for strategies to manage stress among students during examinations.
