Abstract

Background: The plant known as papaya leaf (Carica papaya L) is a plant that commonly grows in tropical areas and is often used by local residents as an alternative treatment method to prevent bacterial growth because papaya leaves (Carica papaya L) have a number of pharmacological properties , one of which is the ability to kill Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The aim of this research was to find out whether papaya leaf extract (Carica papaya L) could inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and whether papaya leaf extract (Carica papaya L) had antibacterial activity on Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Method: This study tested the ethanol extract of papaya leaves (Carica papaya L) against Staphhylococcus aureus bacteria using experimental laboratory methods. The collected data was analyzed using nonparametric statistical analysis known as ANOVA. Results: According to the results of phytochemical research, papaya leaves (Carica papaya L) contain alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, steroids and tannins. In papaya leaf extract which was tested against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, there was an effective inhibitory power of papaya leaf ethanol extract with concentrations of 25%, 50% and 75%, with a concentration of 25% obtained an average inhibition zone of 6.2 mm, a concentration of 50% obtained an inhibition zone. an average of 6.7 mm and a concentration of 75% obtained an average inhibition zone of 7.8 mm. Conclusion: Antibacterial studies of Staphylococcus aureus reveal that papaya leaf extract has a growth inhibitory effect on this bacteria. As the leaf extract concentration increases, a larger zone of inhibition is formed.

Abstract

Strenuous exercise can trigger an increase in pulse rate and lactic acid levels. Stress during exercise can secrete adrenaline so that your heart rate increases, and free radicals including lactic acid. This study aims to determine the effect of light and moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on lactic acid levels and pulse rate during exercise. The research carried out was a quasi-experimental research with a non-random repeat experiment design. Pulse rate and lactic acid levels were assessed before and after the exercise program in 3 groups, namely the light-intensity aerobic exercise (LAIR) treatment group, the moderate-intensity aerobic exercise (LAIS) group, and the control group. The research location is the Harapan Bangsa football stadium in Banda Aceh. The subject is Aceh Diaspora PPLP athlete. The training program was carried out for four weeks. The mean pulse rate and lactic acid levels of the three groups showed differences. A significant decrease in heart rate values ​​after the training test was seen in the group with LAIS (p = 0.000). A significant decrease in lactic acid after the training test was seen in the group with LAIS (p= 0.04). The mean pulse rate of the three groups showed differences. An exercise program carried out with the right intensity, duration, and frequency can reduce increases in heart rate and lactic acid levels. This research shows that moderate-intensity aerobic exercise can reduce pulse rate and lactic acid levels so that it can slow down fatigue during exercise in Acehnese football athletes.

Abstract

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease resulting from the destruction of joint cartilage to the formation of subchondral bone and osteophytes that cause pain in the joints. According to WHO, the prevalence of OA in Southeast Asia in 2004 reached 27.4 million people. One of the metabolic disorders that is thought to be a risk factor for OA progressivity is Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Indonesia has the fourth largest number of DM patients with a prevalence of 8.6% of the total population. Current evaluation of OA is based on clinical and radiographic examinations such as X-ray, MRI, CT etc. The Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) system is a validated method to classify the severity of OA into 5 levels. Objective: To determine the relationship between DM and the severity of genu OA based on X-ray photographs at Haji Adam Malik Hospital Medan. Methods: This study used a cross sectional design. The data obtained will then be processed and analyzed with the Chi-Square test, Fisher Exact test, or Kruskal-Wallis test using a data processing program. Results: It was found that DM patients with right genu OA location amounted to 29 people (39.7%), left amounted to 13 people (17.8%), and both amounted to 31 people (42.5%). DM patients with grade 1 severity amounted to 6 people (8.2%), grade 2 amounted to 18 people (24.7%), grade 3 amounted to 25 people (34.2%), and grade 4 amounted to 24 people (32.9%). The results of the Chi-Square test found that there was a significant relationship between DM and the severity of genu OA (p<0.001). Based on Kruskal-Wallis test, there was no significant relationship between DM comorbidity and genu OA severity (p=0.636) and there was no significant relationship between OA severity and HbA1c (p=0.408). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between DM and the severity of genu OA based on X-ray photos at Haji Adam Malik Hospital Medan.

Abstract

For the prevention and handling of stunting, in 2019 the Aceh government designated 3 districts as stunting Focus Locations (Lokus), one of which is Pidie. To accelerate the reduction of stunting, the government set program indicator targets that must be achieved by 2024, especially in the stunting focus areas. The achievement of these indicators is a reflection of the performance of each district/city. To find out the description of the performance achievement of each indicator, it is measured by an index value approach. The study was conducted quantitatively; analyzing secondary data from 29 program coverage indicators divided into 6 dimension groups. Each dimension of the index has equal weighting. Index assessment by comparing the annual program coverage indicator value with the target value set nationally. The stunting index in Pidie stands at 51.6. Out of the six evaluated dimensions, family assistance and food security scored the lowest, with values of 39.0 and 18.0. In contrast, the nutrition dimension recorded a higher score of 71.7. The health dimension, along with social protection (63.7) and decent housing (53.1), also needs more attention from the local authorities, as the efforts in these areas to tackle stunting are still lacking. Nutrition has become a primary focus in Pidie's stunting prevention strategies, as evidenced by high iron tablet intake among adolescent girls (79.9) and pregnant women (94.11), good rates of complementary feeding (MP-ASI) for children aged 6-23 months (89.3), growth monitoring (83.7), and supplementary feeding programs (PMT) for pregnant women (72.3) and undernourished toddlers (77.1). However, exclusive breastfeeding (64.7) and iron tablet consumption among prospective brides (34.6) are areas with lower achievement. The nutrition dimension, with the highest index score, is expected to play a significant role in reducing stunting rates
