<![CDATA[Skin exposure to environmental stress produces free radicals and ROS that accelerate aging and skin damage, while antioxidant Lotions from natural extracts such as Matoa leaves (Pometia pinnata) offer protection. This experimental study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant activity of ethanol extracts, the effect of concentration (0.5-6%) on the physical quality of Lotions, and the DPPH scavenging ability of the final Lotion. The population of all Matoa leaf extract Lotion formulations; a sample of 2 kg of fresh leaves from Matesih, Karanganyar was purposively selected. Instruments included a UV-Vis spectrophotometer (517 nm), a Brookfield viscometer, a pH meter; SPSS 28.0 was analyzed by ANOVA, regression for IC50. The extract was very potent (IC50 43.07 ppm) containing flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, tannins; All Lotions met the standards (homogeneous, pH 5.22-6.34, viscosity 10,100-12,740 cP, spreadability 5-6.5 cm), FV (6%) was optimal (IC50 66.30 ppm, strong). High concentrations increased inhibition but increased viscosity, decreased spreadability (p<0.05). The findings confirm that Matoa Lotion is effective for herbal skin care; further in vivo and stability testing is recommended.]]>

<![CDATA[Post-obduration flare-up is a rare acute complication characterized by severe pain occurring within a few days following endodontic treatment. In a treated tooth, acute pain triggered by masticatory forces often leads to the initial clinical suspicion of a Vertical Root Fracture (VRF). This case report aims to demonstrate the crucial role of CBCT in diagnosing the etiology of flare-up in tooth 24. An 18-year-old male patient experienced severe pain on tooth 24, 1-3 days post-obduration, exacerbated after consuming satay. Initial periapical radiography (2D) failed to show a VRF or clear periapical lesions. Subsequent CBCT examination (3D) ruled out VRF and instead revealed a non-hermetic root canal filling defect (intraradicular void) in the mid-root section. CBCT proved essential for the definitive diagnosis, guiding the treatment plan toward retreatment and providing a better prognosis compared to VRF.]]>

<![CDATA[Antiretroviral (ARV) therapy failure remains a significant issue in HIV/AIDS control as it contributes to disease progression and drug resistance. This study aims to analyze predictors of ARV therapy failure based on demographic and clinical characteristics of HIV/AIDS patients. This study used a retrospective quantitative descriptive analytical design with medical records of HIV outpatients at Dr. Moewardi Regional General Hospital from November 2024 to November 2025 as the data source. The study population was all HIV patients receiving ARV therapy, with a sample of 100 patients selected using accidental sampling. The research instrument was a medical record-based observation sheet, covering demographic, clinical, CD4, viral load, and clinical stage characteristics. Data analysis was performed univariately and bivariately using the Chi-square test with a significance level of p<0.05. The results showed that the majority of patients were male, productive age, married, had secondary or higher education, had a normal BMI, were in the early clinical stage, and did not experience opportunistic infections or side effects of therapy. No significant associations were found between demographic and clinical variables and CD4 count, viral load, or clinical stage. In conclusion, the immunological, virological, and clinical status of HIV patients is multifactorial and is not solely determined by the demographic and clinical characteristics studied.]]>

<![CDATA[The continuous and uncontrolled population growth has a significant impact on demographic aspects and various sectors of life, including the health sector. Family Planning (KB) is one of the government's programs to reduce the birth rate through the use of contraceptives. This study was conducted to obtain an overview of modern contraceptive use among couples of childbearing age (PUS) in Ngrandu Village, reviewed from several demographic characteristics such as age, education level, and type of work. This study used a quantitative descriptive approach with secondary data obtained from the 2024 Self-Awareness Survey conducted by the Ngrandu Health Center. The research sample consisted of women aged 15–49 years who were married. Data analysis was conducted descriptively, and the data were presented in the form of frequency distribution tables and percentages. This study revealed that based on demographic characteristics such as age, education level, and employment status, the participation rate of couples of childbearing age in Ngrandu Village was still relatively low (34.94%). Based on demographic characteristics such as age, education level, and employment status, short-term contraception methods (non-MKJP) were the most widely used contraception methods (55%). Couples of reproductive age who frequently use short-term contraceptive methods (Non-MKJP) are in the 35-39 age group (13.79%) and the 40-44 age group (13.79%), have a high school education or equivalent (27.59%), and are unemployed/housewives (37.93%). Overall, the distribution of contraceptive use among couples of childbearing age in Ngrandu Village shows certain trends in these demographic characteristics. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and optimize reproductive health education and promotion activities, especially those related to contraceptive use among couples of childbearing age.]]>

<![CDATA[Infertility is a reproductive disorder defined as the inability to achieve a clinical pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected intercourse. It may be caused by female and/or male factors. Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a form of assisted reproduction commonly used to treat subfertility. In Indonesia, infertility affects an estimated 10–15% of couples, equivalent to 4–6 million out of 29.8 million couples of reproductive age. This study aimed to evaluate factors associated with pregnancy success following IUI at Morula IVF Clinic, Jakarta, during January - December 2023. An analytic descriptive design was applied, and associations were tested using the Chi-square method. A total of 199 patients were included, with an overall IUI pregnancy success rate of 8.5%. Successful pregnancies were most frequently observed among wives aged 25 - 35 years, those with a body mass index of 18.5–24.9 kg/m², and cycles with pre-wash semen volume of 2 - 5 mL, sperm concentration >16 million, and sperm motility >30%. Chi-square analysis demonstrated that only sperm motility was significantly associated with IUI success (p=0.029), while wife’s age, body mass index, pre-wash semen volume, and sperm concentration showed no significant association.]]>

<![CDATA[Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common urogenital infection in both community and hospital settings, most frequently caused by Escherichia coli. In Indonesia, UTIs are estimated to reach 90–100 cases per 100,000 population annually and occur more often in females due to a shorter urethra that facilitates microbial entry. This study aimed to describe UTI case characteristics by age, sex, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, recurrent UTI history, and clinical manifestations at Universitas Kristen Indonesia Hospital during 2020–2021. A descriptive design was applied using secondary data from medical records. A total of 102 patients met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The highest proportion of cases occurred in the 22–59-year age group (53 patients; 52.0%). Female patients predominated (62; 60.8%). Hypertension was identified in 45 patients (44.1%) and diabetes mellitus in 25 (24.5%). Recurrent UTIs were found in 53 patients (52.0%). Dysuria was the most frequent clinical manifestation (81; 79.4%). These findings indicate that UTIs at this hospital mostly affected adult females and were commonly accompanied by hypertension and recurrent infection, with dysuria as the leading symptom.]]>

<![CDATA[Free radicals are unstable molecules that can cause cell damage and play a role in premature aging and various skin disorders. One way to inhibit the effects of free radicals is through the use of topical preparations containing antioxidants. Kesum leaves (Polygonum minus Huds) are known to contain bioactive compounds, particularly flavonoids and phenolics, which have the potential to act as natural antioxidants. This study aims to formulate kesum leaf ethanol extract into a moisturizing gel preparation and evaluate its physical quality and antioxidant activity using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method. This study was an experimental study with variations in the concentration of kesum leaf ethanol extract, namely F1 (1%), F2 (2%), and F3 (3%). The evaluation of the physical quality of the gel included organoleptic testing, homogeneity, pH, Viscosity and spreadability. Antioxidant activity was expressed as the IC₅₀ value. The results showed that all gel formulations met the physical quality requirements for preparations. The IC₅₀ values of the gel preparations in F1, F2, and F3 were 169.556 ppm, 150.759 ppm, and 125.396 ppm, respectively, while the positive control showed an IC₅₀ value of 44.792 ppm. An increase in the concentration of kesum leaf ethanol extract in the gel formulation showed a tendency to increase antioxidant activity. Formula F3 had the best antioxidant activity among the gel formulations tested. Thus, kesum leaf ethanol extract has potential as an antioxidant agent.]]>
