Abstract

The study aims to investigate the formulation and physical stability of salak peel extract mouthwash as a plaque preventer. Salak is a plant from Indonesia with medicinal properties, and its peel is a waste product that contains nutritional values such as protein, carbohydrates, water and low fat. The method used in this study is an experimental laboratory method. The salak peel was extracted through maceration of 96% ethanol and formulated into mouthwash with different concentrations of 5%, 10%, and 15%. The stability of the formulation was tested through organoleptic, pH, specific density, viscosity and clarity tests. The results showed no difference before and after the cycling test in organoleptic, pH, specific density, viscosity, and clarity tests, indicating the physical stability of the formulation.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the variants of the Streptococcus genus in the oral cavity of healthy individuals. Streptococcus is one of the normal flora, which is part of the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in the oral cavity. LAB has the ability to produce antimicrobial agents, regulate the host's immune response, and inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria. The presence of LAB in the oral cavity is crucial in maintaining oral health and preventing periodontal diseases. This study used observational cross-sectional design with 40 healthy elementary school children as subjects. Swabs were taken from their oral cavities and sent to the laboratory for PCR and sequencing tests. The results revealed that isolates 3S, 4S, 9S, 10S, 14S, and 15S were identified as Streptococcus dysgalactiae, while isolates 1S, 8S, and 9S were identified as Streptococcus mitis. Additionally, isolates 2S, 5S, 7S, 11S, 12S, and 13S were identified as Streptococcus salivarius, isolate 6S was identified as Streptococcus agalactiae, and isolate 17S was identified as Streptococcus oralis. These findings provide valuable information on the identification of oral microbiota, particularly Streptococcus genus variants, which can potentially serve as an alternative therapy for periodontal diseases.

Abstract

The use of technology is enabling businesses, individuals, and governments to combat COVID-19. Containing and measuring global concerns such as Coronavirus will require critically assessing technological developments. This paper evaluates the COVID-19 dashboard developed by the Saudi Ministry of Health (MOH). A scoping review of published and unpublished documents was conducted. The Saudi Arabia MOH provides figures, graphs, and statistics. The researcher found that clicking one button allows access to critical information, enabling individuals to understand how the disease spreads around the country. The Saudi MOH's COVID-19 dashboard provided accurate, reliable, and current information. COVID-19 information is effectively communicated through technology. With the help of data visualization, many citizens can better understand COVID-19. Given their dynamic nature, the evolution of COVID-19 dashboards over time is crucial. A broader range of indicators may assist in better monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on the economy and society. During this crisis, dashboards must include features that facilitate their use by people with disabilities.

Abstract

The mangosteen fruit is rich in polyphenols, particularly xanthones, which have potent antioxidant effects. Given the various effects of facial toners and the growing demand for natural skincare products, mangosteen rind may serve as an alternative ingredient in facial toner formulations. This laboratory experimental study aimed to assess the antioxidant activity of facial toner preparations containing the ethyl acetate fraction of mangosteen rind (Garcinia mangostana L.) using the ABTS method at different concentrations (0.2%, 0.4%, and 0.6%). Four facial toner formulas were formulated, with Formula 1 being the control formula without any active substance and Formulas 2-4 containing the ethyl acetate fraction of mangosteen rind at different concentrations. The prepared formulas underwent physical and chemical stability tests, including organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, viscosity, and humidity tests, before and after six cycles of cycling. The antioxidant activity of the formulas was also evaluated using the ABTS method. The results showed no significant difference (p>0.05) in the organoleptic, viscosity, pH, and humidity tests before and after cycling. Formula 3 showed significant (p<0.05) antioxidant activity compared to the other formulas. Therefore, it can be concluded that the ethyl acetate fraction of mangosteen rind (Garcinia mangostana L.) can be formulated into a facial toner with potent antioxidant activity.

Abstract

Debates surrounding the patient selection criteria for medical resources rationing have been sparked since decades ago. The arrival of COVID-19 has, once again, raised this debate. Due to its abrupt arrival, rapid infection rate, and unknown pathophysiology, COVID-19 has overwhelmed everyone, including healthcare stakeholders, causing a shortage of medical resources (e.g., beds, ventilators, oxygen supplies, drugs and medicines, and even personal protective equipment). Subsequently, resource rationing through patient selection is inevitable. This article comprehensively summarized the ethical dilemmas in patient selection during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in Indonesia. We divide the dilemma into two major groups: the elderly and important people. We also present a scientific discussion covering the patients' selection approaches (first-come-first-served (FCFS)-based, severity-based, age-based, time-division/future prediction, equality-based, and random rationing). We reveal that there is no perfectly ideal approach for patient selection without sacrificing any factors. Since decades ago, patient selection policy has placed the elderly groups in an unfavorable position. The COVID-19 pandemic has, once more, showing us that elderly groups are still given lower priorities in the scarce medical resource setting. Lastly, until we are able to provide sufficient healthcare resources, this condition might be, and will always be, a bitter pill to swallow.
