<![CDATA[Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that is one of the main health problems in South Minahasa Regency. Unhealthy diet and lack of physical activity are risk factors that can increase the incidence of hypertension in the community. This study aims to determine the relationship between diet and physical activity and the incidence of hypertension in the community in Tenga Village. This study uses a quantitative method with a Cross-Sectional design. The research sample amounted to 120 respondents who were people who had conducted examinations at the Tenga Health Center. Data was collected using the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) questionnaire for diet and the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) for physical activity, as well as blood pressure data from the Health Center. Data analysis used Chi-Square test and multivariate analysis. The results showed that the majority of respondents were female as many as 92 people (76.7%) and ≥50 years old as many as 83 people (69.2%). A total of 99 respondents (82.5%) had hypertension, 96 respondents (80.0%) had a hypertension-triggering diet, and 97 respondents (80.8%) had mild physical activity. The results of the Chi-Square test showed that there was a significant relationship between diet and the incidence of hypertension with a value of p=0.022 and there was a significant relationship between physical activity and the incidence of hypertension with a value of p=0.034. However, the results of the multivariate analysis showed that diet (p=0.118) and physical activity (p=0.162) did not have a significant relationship simultaneously with the incidence of hypertension. The conclusion of this study shows that there is a relationship between diet and physical activity and the incidence of hypertension in the community in Tenga Village based on bivariate analysis. Therefore, the community is expected to maintain a healthy diet and increase physical activity as an effort to prevent and control hypertension.]]>

<![CDATA[Pain is one of the main obstacles in tooth extraction procedures; therefore, effective local anesthesia is required to improve patient comfort during the procedure. Lidocaine is the most commonly used local anesthetic in dentistry, while articaine has increasingly been used because it is claimed to have better tissue diffusion ability and a longer duration of action. This systematic review aimed to determine the effectiveness of articaine compared with lidocaine as a local anesthetic in tooth extraction procedures. The method used was the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) with article searches conducted through the ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Scopus databases using the keywords “Lidocaine AND Articaine AND Tooth Extraction.” The inclusion criteria included randomized controlled trial (RCT) articles, articles published in English between 2015 and 2025, and studies discussing the use of lidocaine and articaine in tooth extraction procedures. From the search results, 797 articles were identified, and after the selection process, 6 articles met the inclusion criteria. The review results showed that articaine has several advantages over lidocaine, including no need for additional injection volume, faster onset of action, longer anesthetic duration, and lower intraoperative and postoperative pain complaints. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that articaine is a more effective local anesthetic than lidocaine for tooth extraction procedures.]]>

<![CDATA[Early childhood is a critical period characterized by rapid growth and development, requiring adequate nutritional intake and appropriate caregiving practices. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the Transfer of Knowledge and Skill (TKS) model in improving caregivers’ knowledge, attitudes, and childcare practices related to nutrition. A quasi-experimental study was conducted from July to October 2025 in Canggu Village (North Kuta District) and Pererenan Village (Mengwi District). A total of 58 caregivers were divided into a control group receiving conventional caregiving and an intervention group receiving the Transfer of Knowledge and Skill model. Data were analyzed using independent samples t-tests for homogeneous data and Mann–Whitney tests for non-homogeneous data, with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results showed greater improvements in the intervention group compared to the control group, particularly in knowledge (113.2% vs. 41.5%) and attitudes (66.6% vs. 9.9%). Positive caregiving practices increased in both groups by 13.3%. No significant differences were found between groups before the intervention; however, significant differences in knowledge, attitudes, and practices were observed after the intervention (p < 0.05). The Transfer of Knowledge and Skill model is recommended as an effective approach to improving nutrition-related caregiving practices and preventing stunting in early childhood.]]>

<![CDATA[Diphtheria remains a re-emerging public health threat in Indonesia, with East Java Province consistently reporting the highest national case burden. This study aimed to describe the spatial distribution of diphtheria cases in relation to population density and healthy home coverage across all 38 districts and cities of East Java Province from 2022 to 2024. An ecological study design with a temporal-spatial approach was employed using secondary data sourced from the East Java Provincial Health Profile for the period 2022–2024. Data were analyzed and visualized using Quantum GIS version 3.34.3 through choropleth and spatial overlay mapping techniques. A total of 909 diphtheria cases were recorded over the study period, with annual increases culminating in 397 cases in 2024. Sidoarjo Regency (74 cases), Surabaya City (68 cases), and Blitar Regency (66 cases) recorded the highest cumulative case counts. Spatial overlay analysis revealed that districts and cities classified with high population density tended to exhibit higher diphtheria case burdens, while areas with low healthy home coverage most notably Bangkalan Regency also showed elevated case counts. Conversely, Madiun City, which had the highest healthy home coverage, recorded only 7 cases throughout the study period. These findings indicate that population density and healthy home access are associated with the geographic distribution of diphtheria incidence, underscoring the need for territory-based, multi-sectoral prevention and control strategies in high-risk districts.]]>

<![CDATA[ The increasing accessibility of online loan (pinjol) services has influenced financial behavior among students, potentially leading to consumptive habits and financial risks. Among medical students with demanding academic responsibilities, the use of online loans may impact financial stability and decision-making. From an Islamic perspective, financial transactions must comply with Sharia principles, avoiding elements such as riba (usury), gharar (uncertainty), maysir (gambling), and zhulm (injustice). This study aims to analyze the overview of online loan usage among Medical Students of Universitas YARSI Cohorts 2023–2024 and examine it from an Islamic perspective. This study used a quantitative survey design with a total sampling technique involving active medical students of Universitas YARSI Cohorts 2023–2024 who met the inclusion criteria. Data were collected through an anonymous online questionnaire distributed via Google Forms using Likert-scale (1–5) questions. The variables measured included economic factors, social factors, consumptive behavior, ease of access, and financial impact. The instrument was tested for validity and reliability prior to data collection. The findings indicate that the main factors influencing online loan usage among students are ease of access and consumptive lifestyle, both showing significant relationships with usage behavior. Economic and social factors were not significantly associated. Online loan usage is linked to higher consumptive behavior and has implications for students’ financial conditions, including potential financial burden. Students generally perceive online loans as a practical and quick financial solution. Some respondents exhibit repeated usage patterns, indicating a risk of dependency. Awareness of the risks and intention to reduce usage were observed among a portion of students. Differences were also found in understanding online loans as riba, with non-users demonstrating better awareness. Online loan usage among YARSI medical students is primarily driven by convenience and consumptive behavior, with notable impacts on financial management. From an Islamic perspective, online loans are permissible only if they adhere to Sharia principles. However, most conventional online lending practices involve elements of riba and are therefore not permissible, highlighting the need for greater financial literacy and caution among students.]]>

<![CDATA[The development of online gaming potentially triggers addictive behaviors that could disrupt time management and decrease the Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) of medical students under a rigorous curriculum. In Islam, gaming is permissible (mubah) as long as it is beneficial and does not neglect academic or religious duties. This study aims to determine the influence of online gaming on the GPA of Medical Students at YARSI University Class of 2023–2024 and its review from an Islamic perspective. This quantitative study with a survey design utilized a total sampling technique on active medical students of YARSI University Class of 2023–2024. A total of 272 respondents were obtained via an anonymous online questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the non-parametric Spearman Rank Correlation test. About 61.8% (168 students) of respondents were online gamers and 38.2% (104 students) were non-gamers. The average GPA was high (3.44 ± 0.29). The Spearman correlation test showed a correlation coefficient (r) = -0.053 with a significance value (p) = 0.496 (p>0.05). No significant difference was found in religious discipline between gamers and non-gamers. There is no statistically significant relationship between online gaming activities and the GPA of YARSI University medical students Class of 2023–2024 due to good self-regulation and time management. Based on the Islamic review, online gaming among respondents is categorized as mubah because it causes no harm or negligence (al-laghwu).]]>

<![CDATA[Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that often occurs in the elderly and can cause serious complications if not properly controlled. One non-pharmacological therapy that can be done is brisk walking exercise. This study aims to determine the effect of brisk walking exercise on blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension in the Gajah II Community Health Center work area. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest approach with a control group. The study sample consisted of 36 respondents who were divided into an intervention group and a control group using a total sampling technique. The intervention group was given brisk walking exercise for 20–30 minutes three times a week for two weeks, while the control group was only given health education. Blood pressure was measured using a digital sphygmomanometer before and after the intervention. Data analysis used a paired sample t-test and an independent sample t-test. The results showed that the average systolic blood pressure in the intervention group decreased from 174.06 mmHg to 128.67 mmHg and diastolic from 101.39 mmHg to 83.11 mmHg. Statistical tests showed a significant effect of brisk walking exercise on reducing blood pressure, with a p-value of 0.001 for systolic and 0.011 for diastolic blood pressure. It was concluded that brisk walking exercise is effective as a non-pharmacological therapy to help control blood pressure in elderly hypertensive patients.]]>

<![CDATA[Stunting remains a significant chronic nutritional challenge in Indonesia. Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (EIB) and Exclusive Breastfeeding (EBF) are critical interventions that support child growth and serve as foundational strategies for stunting prevention. This study aims to investigate the relationship between a history of EIB and EBF and the severity of stunting (classified as stunted and severely stunted) among affected children under five within the catchment area of Public Health Center "X" in Indragiri Hilir Regency.An observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach was employed, utilizing secondary data from the 2025 Stunting Audit. The study population consisted of 45 stunted children under five, selected through a total sampling technique. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a 95% confidence level (α=0,05) and the calculation of Odds Ratios (OR).The results indicated that the majority of respondents were categorized as severely stunted (66.7%), had a history of EIB (55.6%), and received EBF (55.6%). No significant correlation was found between a history of EIB and stunting severity (p=0,670; OR=1,313; 95%CI=0,373–4,616). Conversely, a significant association was observed between EBF and stunting severity (p=0,034; OR=0,250; 95%CI=0,067–0,931). These findings suggest that exclusive breastfeeding serves as a protective factor against increased stunting severity, whereas EIB did not demonstrate a significant relationship in this specific population. Consequently, enhancing EBF coverage must be prioritized as a pivotal component of stunting prevention and control programs.]]>
