Radicular cysts are the most common inflammatory odontogenic cysts found in the jaws, accounting for approximately 52–68% of all jaw cysts. These lesions originate from the proliferation of epithelial rests of Malassez in the periodontal ligament, triggered by chronic periapical inflammation due to pulp necrosis. Due to their slow-growing nature and often asymptomatic presentation, these cysts frequently reach a significant size before being clinically detected. This case report describes a 48-year-old male patient who presented to Soelastri Dental and Oral Hospital, Surakarta, with a chief complaint of a retained root in the lower left posterior region for approximately three years. The patient reported a prior history of pain that had been self-managed. Clinical examination revealed a retained root in tooth 35 (FDI notation), with positive palpation and negative percussion findings. Periapical radiography showed a well-defined unilocular radiolucency with a sclerotic cortical border, measuring approximately 4 × 3 mm in the periapical region. Surgical management was performed under inferior alveolar nerve block and infiltration anesthesia. A triangular mucoperiosteal flap was elevated, followed by alveolar bone reduction, radiks extraction, cyst enucleation, thorough curettage, and placement of a hemostatic sponge. Primary wound closure was achieved using 4-0 silk sutures. In conclusion, histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a radicular cyst, characterized by stratified squamous epithelial lining and chronic suppurative inflammation within the fibrous capsule. A two-week postoperative follow-up showed good mucosal healing without complications. This case highlights the importance of integrating clinical, radiographic, and histopathological evaluations for accurate diagnosis and appropriate surgical management of radicular cysts associated with retained roots

Tablets are a widely used pharmaceutical dosage form due to their stability, dosage accuracy, ease of production, and ease of use. One important factor influencing tablet quality is the use of binders, which play a role in increasing interparticle cohesion and mechanical strength. This study aims to evaluate the effect of varying binder types and concentrations on the physical characteristics and performance of tablets, including hardness, friability, disintegration time, and dissolution profile. The method used was a literature review with a descriptive analytical approach based on scientific articles from indexed journals. The results of the study indicate that the type of binder significantly influences tablet properties. Synthetic binders such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and Avicel tend to produce more consistent hardness and lower friability, while natural binders such as starch, gelatin, pectin, and mucilage show wider variation in results depending on the source and process. Increasing binder concentration generally increases hardness and decreases friability, but can prolong disintegration time and decrease dissolution rate. Therefore, optimal tablet formulation is achieved through a balance between mechanical strength and drug release capability, by using binders at optimum concentrations and considering interactions with other excipients and the manufacturing method.

As one of the highest drivers of mortality at the global level, cancer is identified through unregulated cell proliferation. This condition urges researchers to immediately find new therapeutic agents that have a superior safety and efficacy profile. This review analyzes the (CADD) approach, especially the integration of molecular docking, ADMET prediction, and chemical modification, as an important strategy in exploring Indonesian natural product compounds as anticancer candidates. This research aims to review the integrative role of these three approaches in increasing the potential of natural compounds as lead compounds. The method used is a systematic literature review from the Google Scholar and PubMed databases. The results of a review of various studies show that the in silico approach via molecular docking has succeeded in identifying potential compounds such as squalene, berberine, and quercetin with high binding affinity to cancer targets such as NUDT5, HER2, and EGFR. ADMET prediction and drug-likeness testing (Lipinski's Rule) confirm the pharmacokinetic and safety profiles of drug candidates. Furthermore, chemical modifications to lead compounds such as curcumin and gallic acid were proven to increase significantly stability and cytotoxic activity. The integration of this method makes an important contribution in accelerating the discovery of new drugs, reducing research costs, and increasing the opportunities.

Isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) is a growing public health concern, particularly among older adults, due to its strong association with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This study aims to identify and analyze risk factors associated with ISH. This research is a literature study, with sources obtained from three open-access journal databases: PubMed, Wiley Online Library, and Google Scholar. Articles were selected based on specific inclusion criteria, including full-text articles, published between 2015 and 2025, written in English, focused on ISH risk factors, and excluding literature reviews. The search resulted in 8 articles for review. Risk factors are typically classified into two categories: modifiable and non-modifiable. Modifiable risk factors include obesity, alcohol consumption, low educational level, elevated fasting blood sugar levels, employment, retirement status, and income. Conversely, non-modifiable risk factors consist of older age and male sex. Risk factors related to the incidence of ISH were found in all literature, namely age, gender, obesity, alcohol consumption, diabetes mellitus, low educational level, income, and socioeconomic status. The findings emphasize the importance of lifestyle modification and regular blood pressure monitoring for high-risk populations to prevent ISH.

In Indonesia, there are still many babies who have not received complete immunizations or have never been immunized since birth. According to the Central Statistics Agency, the coverage of Complete Basic Immunization in East Java in 2023 reached 62.67%, in Jember 53.90% while at the Tempurejo Health Center 67.8%. Many factors hinder the immunization program, one of which is the lack of knowledge of mothers. Based on a preliminary study, it was found that most mothers brought their babies to the Posyandu just to be weighed. The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship of Mother’s Knowledge Level with Complete Basic Immunization Completeness in 12 Months Old Babies. This research is quantitative with an analytical observational design using a cross-sectional approach. Respondents were 39 people selected using purposive sampling techniques and analysis tests using Chi Square. The level of maternal knowledge was less than 41%, sufficient at 28.2%, and good at 30.8%, while basic immunization was incomplete at 53.8% and complete basic immunization at 46.2%. The results of the Chi Square test obtained a p-value of 0.001 < α (0.05), meaning there was a relationship between the level of maternal knowledge and the completeness of Complete Basic Immunization with a contingency coefficient value of 0.52 (moderate). The better a mother's knowledge, the higher the likelihood that her baby will receive complete basic immunizations. Midwives are expected to approach and educate mothers of toddlers about the importance of complete basic immunizations for infants, which are carried out routinely and continuously at every integrated health post.

The high rate of early marriage in Indonesia is a serious challenge that has an impact on the risks of reproductive health, education, and social welfare of adolescents. Peer education has emerged as a promising intervention strategy, but the effectiveness and determinants of its success of various community service programs in Indonesia require a comprehensive synthesis. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of various peer education methods, identify determinants of success, and analyze the challenges of implementing public health strategies in reducing the rate of early marriage in Indonesia. A systematic review was conducted on 18 research articles (consisting of community service actions and quantitative research) published between 2019 and 2026. The analysis was carried out by grouping interventions based on methods, objectives, and outputs achieved, then synthesized to answer the urgency of peer intervention in Indonesia. The results of the analysis showed that the peer education method was consistently able to increase knowledge and change adolescents' attitudes to be more rational (p<0.05). Determinants of success include the convenience of horizontal communication between peers, the use of creative educational media (such as Monopoly Genres and digital platforms), and the integration of programs with formal structures at the village or school level (such as PIK-R and Village Decree policies). However, implementation is still hampered by traditional cultural norms, social pressures, and a lack of post-program sustainability support, as well as structural challenges related to family economics in rural areas. It can be concluded that peer education is a very effective strategy to cut communication barriers on sensitive adolescent reproductive health issues. The sustainability of the program is highly dependent on cross-sectoral collaboration between health offices, village officials, and youth cadres. A more holistic health promotion model is needed by aligning reproductive education, legal protection advocacy, and family economic empowerment to have a systemic and long-term impact.

Healthcare facility accreditation has been widely adopted as an external mechanism for quality assurance and patient safety improvement. However, evidence on its real-world effectiveness remains fragmented across diverse settings, accreditation bodies, and outcome measures. This systematic review aimed to synthesize available evidence on the impact of hospital accreditation programs on the quality of care and patient safety outcomes, comparing accredited with non-accredited hospitals or pre-accreditation status. We searched PubMed, Scopus, Epistemonikos, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Google Scholar for quantitative studies published from April 2000 until April 2026. Two independent reviewers screened studies and extracted data. Quality appraisal was conducted using the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale (NOS), ROBINS-I, and the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) tool. Twenty-one studies from 13 countries met the inclusion criteria, encompassing cross-sectional surveys, quasi-experimental designs, interrupted time series, longitudinal studies, and qualitative case studies. Evidence predominantly favored accreditation, demonstrating consistent improvements in clinical process quality, patient safety culture, and patient satisfaction. Quasi-experimental and longitudinal designs provided the strongest evidence. Barriers included resource constraints, staff resistance, and variability in leadership engagement. Accreditation is a promising driver of quality and patient safety improvement in hospital settings, particularly when coupled with strong organizational leadership and adequate resourcing. Future research should employ more rigorous study designs and standardized outcome metrics to strengthen the evidence base.
