Abstract

Dyslipidemia, an abnormality in lipid metabolism marked by elevated triglycerides, cholesterol, or LDL and low HDL, increases cardiovascular risk. Tamarillo (Solanum betaceum Cav.) contains flavonoids and anthocyanins with potential lipid-lowering effects. This study evaluated the effect of ethanol extract of Tamarillo fruit (ETB) at doses of 100 mg/kg body weight (BW)/day and 200 mg/kg BW/day on triglyceride levels in Wistar rats with dyslipidemia, compared with simvastatin at 10 mg/kg BW/day. A posttest-only control group design was applied using 25 male Wistar rats divided into five groups: negative control, positive control, ETB 100, ETB 200, and simvastatin. Dyslipidemia was induced with a high-fat diet and propylthiouracil for 14 days, followed by 14 days of treatment. Triglyceride levels were measured using the GPO-PAP method. Data were analyzed with the Shapiro–Wilk test, Levene’s test, and Kruskal–Wallis test. The results showed no statistically significant differences between groups (p > 0.05). However, ETB at 200 mg/kg BW/day demonstrated a 22.6% reduction in triglyceride levels compared with the positive control, though the effect was slightly less than simvastatin. In conclusion, Tamarillo ethanol extract did not significantly reduce triglyceride levels but showed a favorable trend at higher doses, indicating potential for further research with dose optimization, longer duration, and standardized active compounds.   DOI : 10.35990/amhs.v4n2.p51-60   REFERENCES PERKENI.

Abstract

Acne vulgaris is a common inflammatory disorder that can affect psychological well-being in adolescents and young adults. This study aimed to examine the association between clinically confirmed acne vulgaris and self-confidence among undergraduate medical students. An analytical cross-sectional design was applied, involving 112 students from the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Jenderal Achmad Yani, Class of 2023, recruited through consecutive sampling. Acne vulgaris was diagnosed clinically by a board-certified dermatologist, whereas self-confidence was assessed using the Ratnasari (2021) self-confidence questionnaire and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Chi-square analysis was used to evaluate associations between acne status and self-confidence levels, with significance set at p < 0.05. Ethical approval was obtained from the Faculty of Medicine Ethics Committee (Approval No. 031/UM1.08/2024). Of the 112 respondents, 62 students (55.4%) were diagnosed with acne vulgaris. Most participants demonstrated high self-confidence based on both the Ratnasari questionnaire (67 students, 59.8%) and the Rosenberg scale (68 students, 60.7%). Statistical analysis showed no significant relationship between the presence of acne vulgaris and self-confidence (Ratnasari: p = 0.673; Rosenberg: p = 0.304). In conclusion, although acne vulgaris was common in this population, it was not associated with self-confidence levels. Further studies are recommended to explore additional psychological or environmental factors that may influence self-confidence among medical students.   DOI : 10.35990/amhs.v4n2.p61-67   REFERENCES Tan ST, Firmansyah Y, Elizabeth J.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 has posed major global challenges in infectious disease control. Vaccination remains the primary strategy to reduce morbidity and mortality; however, concerns persist regarding vaccine safety, including gastrointestinal adverse events. Multiepitope vaccines represent a promising approach to induce broader immune responses, while chitosan nanoparticles are widely studied as biocompatible adjuvants to enhance vaccine safety and efficacy. This study aimed to evaluate the histopathological effects of a multiepitope COVID-19 vaccine, with and without chitosan nanoparticles, on the colon of male BALB/c mice. A post-test-only control group design was employed using 25 male BALB/c mice, divided into five groups (n = 5 per group). Colon tissues were examined histopathologically using Hematoxylin–Eosin (H&E) staining andassessed according to the Harpaz Histological Scoring System (HSS). The results demonstrated that 100% of samples across all treatment groups exhibited an HSS score of 1, indicating mild inflammatory cell infiltration involving less than 50% of crypts without erosion or ulceration. No samples showed HSS scores of 0, 2, or 3. Due to the homogeneous distribution of histopathological scores across all groups, inferential statistical analysis could not be performed. In conclusion, administration of the multiepitope COVID-19 vaccine, either alone or combined with chitosan nanoparticles, did not induce pathological changes in the colon of BALB/c mice. These findings support the gastrointestinal safety of the vaccine formulation and its potential for further development as a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine candidate   DOI: 10.35990/amhs.v4n2.p68-76   REFERENCES Wulan D, Suwandewi A, Khatimah H.

Abstract

Dengue fever remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, particularly among children. Early recognition of clinical manifestations, supported by laboratory findings, is crucial for diagnosis, monitoring disease progression, and preventing severe complications. This study aimed to describe the clinical manifestations and laboratory findings of dengue fever cases in children. A cross-sectional study design was used, based on medical records of all pediatric patients aged 0–18 years who werediagnosed with dengue infection at Subang Regional Hospital from January to December 2024. Total sampling yielded 197 cases that met the inclusion criteria. Most patients were aged 6–18 years (73.1%) and male (57.4%). The highest incidence occurred in March (20.8%). The most common clinical manifestations were fever (100%), abdominal pain (61.9%), nausea (61.4%), vomiting (53.8%), and headache (37.1%). Warning signs were identified in 46.2% of patients, with persistent vomiting and abdominal pain being the most frequent. Laboratory findings showed thrombocytopenia (75.0%) and leukopenia (62.5%), particularly in the 6–18 age group, while anemia was most common in infants aged 0–1 year (92.3%). Serological examinations showed all patients were NS1 positive at initial testing, with IgM and IgG detected in subsequent examinations, indicating progression from the acute to the convalescent phase. These findings highlight the importance of integrated clinical and laboratory evaluation for early detection and appropriate management of dengue fever.   DOI : 10.35990/amhs.v4n2.p77-86   REFERENCES Syamsir, Daramusseng A.

Abstract

Body mass index (BMI) is an indicator of nutritional status that affects health and muscle strength. Obesity inhibits adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase (AMPK), thereby reducing endurance, decreasing muscle function, and increasing disease risk. This study aims to determine the relationship between BMI and muscle strength. A cross-sectional analyticalstudy was conducted among preclinical students of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Jenderal Achmad Yani. BMI, grip strength, and standing long jump performance were measured in all respondents. Data were analyzed using Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS). The results showed that most students had a normal BMI (50%), indicating good nutritional status. All respondents with overweight and obesity class I and II BMI demonstrated standing long jump results far below the average (100%), while only 7.1% of respondents with normal BMI reached the average category. Most respondents with normal BMI had normal hand strength (57.1%), as did those with obesity class II (83.3%). Statistical analysis using the chi-square test showed no significant relationship between BMI and muscle strength, with pvalues of 0.629 and 0.792. In conclusion, most students had a normal BMI, normal handgrip strength, and low standing long jump performance. There was no significant relationship between BMI and muscle strength.   DOI : 10.35990/amhs.v4n2.p87-93   REFERENCES Nuttall FQ. Body mass index: Obesity, BMI, and health: A critical review.

Abstract

Diarrhea is one of the leading causes of mortality in children under five years of age. Hygienic living behavior plays a crucial role in preventing the transmission of diarrhea. Maternal behavior is closely associated with the prevention and reduction of diarrhea in toddlers. This study aims to describe and determine the relationship between maternal knowledge, attitudes,and personal hygiene practices and the incidence of diarrhea among toddlers at the Cibeureum Public Health Center, South Cimahi, Indonesia. This study employed an analytical crosssectional design. Data were collected from 70 respondents using a consecutive sampling technique. Information was obtained through structured questionnaires. Data analysis was conducted using the chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test. The results showed that the majority of mothers demonstrated good levels of knowledge, positive attitudes, and personal hygiene practices. Accordingly, 81.4% of toddlers were reported to rarely experience diarrhea (p-value = 0.22). Statistical analysis indicated no significant relationship between maternal knowledge, attitudes, and personal hygiene practices and the incidence of diarrhea in toddlers. These findings suggest that multiple factors contribute to the occurrence of diarrhea in toddlers. Nevertheless, adequate knowledge, positive attitudes, and personal hygiene practices remain important preventive measures against diarrhea in this population.   DOI: 10.35990/amhs.v4n2.p94-102   REFERENCES Indonesian Pediatric Society (IDAI).

Abstract

Dyslipidemia is characterized by an increase in total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, and a decrease in high-density lipoprotein. Hypercholesterol-emia is a major contributor to the high mortality rate associated with cardiovascular disease. Tamarillo (Solanum betaceum Cav.) contains flavonoids and anthocyanins with antioxidant and hypolipidemic potential. This study aimed to determine the effect of tamarillo ethanol extract (EET) on total cholesterol levels in Wistar rats with dyslipidemia. This experimental study used a post-test only control group design with 25 male Wistar rats divided into five groups (n = 5). K1: negative control, K2: positive control, K3: high-fat diet (HFD) + propylthiouracil (PTU) + EET 100 mg/kgBW, K4: HFD + PTU + EET 200 mg/kgBW, and K5: HFD + PTU + simvastatin 10 mg/kgBW. Total cholesterol levels were measured using the CHOD-PAP method after a 14-day intervention. Data were analyzed using ANOVA followed by Tukey's post-hoc test. The ANOVA test showed significant differences among the groups (F = 16.42; p < 0.001). The highest cholesterol level was observed in the positive control group (148.80 ± 4.86 mg/dL). Administration of EET 200 mg/kgBW reduced cholesterol to 142.60 ± 4.50 mg/dL, which was statistically comparable to the reduction achieved by simvastatin (135.80 ± 6.38 mg/dL; p = 0.633). In contrast, EET at 100 mg/kgBW (148.00 ± 11.95 mg/dL) was not significantly different from the positive control. The findings of this study indicate that administration of EET at a dose of 200 mg/kgBW significantly reduces total cholesterol levels, demonstrating an efficacy comparable to simvastatin. EET has potential as an adjuvant therapy in the management of dyslipidemia, but cannot yet replace simvastatin as the standard therapy.   DOI : 10.35990/amhs.v4n3.p103-113   REFERENCES Dwi Sandhiutami NM, Khairani S, Moordiani M, Purpranoto IN.

Abstract

Pre-operative tachycardia is a frequent clinical manifestation commonly attributed to pain, anxiety, or systemic infection.1,2 However, uncommon endocrine emergencies such as pheochromocytoma may present with nonspecific cardiovascular instability and remain clinically unrecognized until catastrophic perioperative deterioration occurs.3,4 This case report describes a 26-year-old female who presented with a painful hyperemic right breast mass accompanied by persistent tachycardia and respiratory distress. In accordance with CARE case report principles, clinical data were retrospectively collected from medical records, including serial hemodynamic monitoring, laboratory investigations, electrocardiography, thoracic imaging, perioperative management, and intensive care interventions. Initial evaluation demonstrated persistent tachycardia (153 bpm), tachypnea, and hypertensive episodes that were disproportionate to the localized breast pathology. Despite surgical intervention and initial postoperative stabilization, the patient developed progressive hemodynamic instability characterized by persistent tachyarrhythmia, a Burch-Wartofsky Point Scale score of 20, severe hyperglycemia (858 mg/dL), ketonuria, and electrolyte imbalance, which eventually culminated in asystolic cardiac arrest. This constellation of cardiovascular and metabolic abnormalities strongly suggested a pheochromocytoma crisis precipitated by surgical stress and excessive catecholamine release.1,3,4 Catecholamine-induced insulin resistance and impaired peripheral glucose utilization likely contributed to the profound metabolic derangement observed in this patient.5,6 This case underscores the importance of recognizing unexplained perioperative tachycardia and hyperglycemia as potential indicators of occult pheochromocytoma.7–9 Early endocrine evaluation and appropriate perioperative preparation are critical to prevent fatal cardiovascular complications and improving surgical outcomes.   DOI : 10.35990/amhs.v4n3.p151-158   REFERENCES Nazari MA, Rosenblum JS, Haigney MC, Rosing DR, Pacak K.

Abstract

The presence of airborne microorganisms in laboratory environments may increase the risk of microbial exposure among laboratory personnel. Indoor bioaerosols can affect air quality and potentially pose health risks if environmental conditions are not adequately controlled. This study aimed to identify airborne bacteria and fungi present in the office room of the Microbiology Laboratory, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Jenderal Achmad Yani. Air sampling was performed using the passive settle plate method at three sampling points, with Tryptic Soy Agar (TSA) used for bacterial isolation and Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) used for fungal isolation. Environmental measurements during sampling recorded a temperature of 25.1°C and a relative humidity of 63%. Bacterial and fungal growth were observed on TSA and SDA plates, respectively, with bacterial colony counts ranging from 0 to 24 colonies. A total of six bacterial isolates were successfully recovered. Bacterial identification was performed based on colony morphology observation, Gram staining, biochemical tests, and molecular analysis using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing. Fungal identification was conducted based on macroscopic characteristics and microscopic examination using Lactophenol Cotton Blue staining. Molecular analysis identified the bacterial isolates as Staphylococcus hominis, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Mammaliicoccus sciuri, and Stutzerimonas stutzeri, whereas fungal isolates were morphologically consistent with Penicillium sp. and other suspected hyaline filamentous fungi. The predominance of Gram-positive bacteria and the detection of airborne fungi may be associated with limited ventilation, indoor humidity, and human-related activities within the laboratory environment. These findings demonstrate the diversity of indoor bioaerosols in a laboratory environment and highlight the importance of routine microbiological air monitoring, humidity control, and adequate ventilation to support occupational health and laboratory safety.   DOI : 10.35990/amhs.v4n3.p124-132   REFERENCES Abatenh A, Habtemariam Z, Gizaw B.

Abstract

Dengue fever remains a major public health problem in Indonesia. Vector control commonly relies on chemical larvicides, which may lead to resistance, highlighting the need for safe and environmentally friendly alternatives. Kenanga flowers (Cananga odorata) contain secondary metabolites with potential larvicidal activity. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of kenanga flower infusion on the mortality of Aedes aegypti larvae at the instar III–IV stage. An experimental study with a completely randomized post-test–only design was conducted. Larvae were divided into six treatment groups with three replicates: kenanga flower infusion at concentrations of 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%, a positive control (1% temephos), and a negative control (distilled water). Larval mortality was observed after 24 hours and analyzed using the Shapiro–Wilk test, Kruskal–Wallis test, and Mann–Whitney post hoc test. Results showed that the 5% concentration and the negative control caused no larval mortality, while the 1% temephos positive control produced 100% mortality. The 10% concentration resulted in 31% mortality, the 15% concentration resulted in 96% mortality, and the 20% concentration achieved the highest mortality (100%) within 24 hours. The Kruskal–Wallis test indicated significant differences among the treatment groups (p = 0.008). Post hoc Mann–Whitney analysis demonstrated that the 20% concentration differed significantly from the 5%, 10%, and negative control groups (p < 0.05). Kenanga flower infusion contains flavonoids, tannins, and saponins, suggesting potential as a natural larvicide under laboratory conditions.   DOI : 10.35990/amhs.v4n3.p142-150   REFERENCES Sofia, Zulfitrah D.
