<![CDATA[Memory loss is a cognitive disorder in which oxidative stress is one of the main contributing factors. Palm leaves oil (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) contains flavonoids and antioxidants that are believed to improve memory. This study aims to determine whether oil palm leaf extract can improve memory activity in mice and determine the most effective dosage. This study was a pure experimental study with 25 mice divided into five groups, namely negative control (CMC Na 1%), positive control (Ginkgo biloba), and treatment groups with ethanol extracts of oil palm leaves at doses of 100 mg/kgBW, 200 mg/kgBW, and 300 mg/kgBW. The mice were induced with 10% alcohol and then given treatment for 7 days. Memory activity was tested using the Radial Arm Maze method, with parameters measured including latency time and error rate. The data obtained were then analyzed using SPSS, including normality and homogeneity tests, Anova, and followed by the Tukey test. The results showed that doses of palm leaf extract (Elaeis guineensis jacq.) of 100 mg/kgBW, 200 mg/kgBW, and 300 mg/kgBW had an effect on the memory of mice. The effective dose for improving memory in the T1-T2 latency time difference was 200 mg/kgBW and 300 mg/kgBW with a P value > 0.05, which was not significantly different from the positive control, and the T1-T2 error rate difference was 100 mg/kgBW, 200 mg/kgBW, and 300 mg/kgBW, with a P value > 0.05, showing no significant difference from the positive controls. This proves that oil palm leaf extract can enhance memory activity in mice.]]>

<![CDATA[The distribution of skin-whitening cosmetics, especially body lotions, through e-commerce platforms is increasing and may contain hazardous ingredients such as hydroquinone. Hydroquinone is a compound that is prohibited for use in cosmetics because it can cause side effects such as dark spots on the skin, allergic reactions, irritation, brain damage, and cancer. This study aims to identify and determine the levels of hydroquinone in body lotion cosmetics sold on e-commerce platforms. This is an observational study with a descriptive approach. A total of three body lotion samples were analyzed qualitatively using a color reaction test with FeCl₃ reagent and thin-layer chromatography (TLC) method, and analyzed quantitatively using ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (UV-Vis). The hydroquinone content was determined based on the calibration curve of the standard solution at the maximum wavelength. The results showed that two of the three samples tested positive for hydroquinone in the qualitative test. Quantitative analysis showed that the hydroquinone content in sample 1 was (70.48 ± 0.0044)% and in sample 3 was (67.88 ± 0.0021)%. These levels do not meet cosmetic safety requirements according to the regulations of the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM). It can be concluded that there are still body lotions circulating on e-commerce platforms that contain high levels of hydroquinone, so stricter supervision and increased public education regarding cosmetic safety are needed.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the effect of the type and concentration of organic acids on nickel extraction results. The analysis shows that the type of organic acid has a significant effect on the effectiveness of nickel leaching. Citric acid produces higher extraction yields than acetic acid due to its polyprotic nature, which enables it to form stronger complexes with nickel ions. In addition, the concentration of organic acids plays an important role in the extraction process. The optimum concentration was achieved at 7 M, resulting in the highest nickel percentage of 0.78%. At a concentration of 4 M, the extraction yield was lower due to the limited availability of H⁺ ions, while at 10 M, a decrease in extraction efficiency was observed, which is likely caused by the formation of secondary complexes or precipitates that inhibit nickel solubility. Therefore, the appropriate selection of organic acid type and concentration is crucial for optimizing the nickel extraction process.]]>

<![CDATA[Severe acute respiratory infection syndrome is a major cause of hospitalization and mortality worldwide and remains a critical public health concern in Indonesia. Laboratory-based syndromic surveillance plays an essential role in monitoring circulating respiratory pathogens and detecting emerging threats. To describe the demographic characteristics and temporal distribution of severe acute respiratory infection syndrome cases identified through laboratory-based syndromic surveillance in Indonesia during 2025. We conducted a retrospective descriptive study using routinely collected laboratory surveillance data from the National Biological Public Health Laboratory, Indonesia, during January-December 2025. The cases were defined according to World Health Organization criteria. Specimens submitted through passive syndromic surveillance were tested using polymerase chain reaction-based assays following national protocols. Descriptive analyses were performed to summarize demographic characteristics, laboratory results, and temporal and geographic distribution of the cases. A total of 194 severe acute respiratory infection syndrome cases were identified in 2025. Children under five years of age accounted for 43.8% of cases, and males represented 59.3%. Most specimens were respiratory (94.3%). Overall, 75.2% of cases tested negative for pathogens included in the testing panel. Among laboratory-confirmed cases, Legionella pneumophila (19.1%) and influenza A (8.2%) were the most frequently detected pathogens, while SARS-CoV-2 was detected in one case (0.5%). Severe acute respiratory infection disease cases were reported throughout the year, with fluctuations in weekly case counts and wide geographic distribution across provinces. Severe acute respiratory infection syndrome occurred year-round in Indonesia during 2025, with young children and older adults disproportionately affected. Despite limitations inherent to passive laboratory-based surveillance, these findings demonstrate the value of integrated severe acute respiratory infection disease surveillance for monitoring severe respiratory infections and informing public health preparedness in tropical settings.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aimed to examine the association between home physical environmental conditions, family behavior, and pneumonia occurrence among under-five children in a high-density urban area of Jakarta, Indonesia. A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted in RW 14, Cengkareng Barat, West Jakarta. Data were collected from caregivers of 60 under-five children using structured questionnaires and observational checklists. Associations were analyzed using chi-square tests, and prevalence ratios (PR) were calculated. Seventeen children (28.3%) had a history of pneumonia. Bedroom occupancy density was significantly associated with pneumonia occurrence (p = 0.002), with adequate occupancy density showing a protective effect (PR = 0.094; 95% CI: 0.013–0.678). Family smoking behavior was also significantly associated with pneumonia occurrence (p = 0.033; PR = 1.85; 95% CI: 1.02–3.36). Other household environmental factors were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Overcrowded sleeping conditions and indoor smoking behavior are key household determinants of pneumonia among under-five children in densely populated urban settings. Household-focused preventive interventions addressing overcrowding and smoke-free homes should be prioritized.]]>

<![CDATA[Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. In Indonesia, PPH accounts for approximately 27% of maternal deaths, with a higher burden in remote and resource-limited areas. To describe the clinical characteristics, management, and outcomes of PPH cases in Tual City, Maluku, in 2024. This retrospective descriptive study included all PPH cases managed at RSUD Maren Hi Noho Renuat, the only referral hospital in Tual City, from January to December 2024 (total sampling). Data were extracted from medical records and delivery registers and analyzed descriptively. Most cases occurred among women aged 20–34 years (67%) and multiparous mothers (75%). Half of the women had completed senior high school. Urban mainland residents accounted for 50% of cases, followed by rural (33%) and remote island residents (17%). Deliveries were evenly distributed between health facilities and non-facility settings (50% each), including one case aboard a ferry during referral. Skilled birth attendants assisted 58% of deliveries, while 42% were attended by traditional birth attendants. Retained placenta was the most frequent cause of PPH (84%). All patients received uterotonics; 67% required blood transfusion and 25% underwent surgical interventions (17% curettage, 8% hysterectomy). Maternal outcomes were favorable, with 92% full recovery, 8% near-miss events, and no maternal deaths. Neonatal outcomes were excellent, with 100% live births and no neonatal mortality. Retained placenta was the leading cause of PPH in Tual. Improving institutional delivery coverage, strengthening referral systems, and enhancing community education are crucial to reduce preventable maternal morbidity in remote island settings.]]>
