Abstract

Background: Renal size and volume play important roles in the diagnosis, treatment, and evaluation of renal pathology, and are excellent predictors of renal function. Renal size is associated with somatic growth parameters such as height, weight, and age, which are related to body mass index and body surface area. Objective: The aim of this study is to determine renal volume in the adult population using ultrasound and to analyze factors affecting the renal volume in patients. Methods: This was a case-series study of 35 renal in adult patients aged from >19 to 59 years without renal pathology. Renal length, width, depth, mean volume, and cortical thickness were sonographically measured. Patient age, gender, weight, height, and body surface area were recorded. Results: The mean body weight, body height, and body surface area were 69.8 ± 18.6 kg, 159.7 ± 8.1 cm, and 1.7 ± 0.2 m2, respectively. There was a significant difference in mean renal volume between the right and left renal, with measurements of 107 ± 30,9 cm3 and 125,5 ± 27,8 cm3, respectively. The mean renal volume in male was 118,4 ± 37,2 cm3 and 137,2 ± 32,6 cm3 for the right and left sides, respectively, and was found to be larger than in females. Both renals had a mean cortical thickness of 1.3 ± 0.1 cm. There was a positive and significant correlation between renal volume and body surface area (r=0.805 for the right renal, and r=0.604 for the left renal) with p<0.001. Conclusions: Renal volume is positively and significantly correlated with body surface area. Body index, age, gender, and side should also be taken into consideration when reporting renal volume.

Abstract

Breast cancer is the type of cancer with the highest prevalence in women and is the leading cause of cancer death globally. Early detection is very important to determine the right management, one of which is through ultrasound examination (ultrasound) as a non-invasive imaging method. However, the validity of ultrasound results still needs to be studied through comparison with histopathological results as the gold standard of diagnosis. This study aims to analyze the suitability between the results of ultrasound examination and the results of histopathological readings in breast cancer patients at Prof. Dr. Chairuddin P. Lubis Hospital USU Medan. The study used a cross-sectional design of 48 patients who underwent ultrasound and histopathological examinations throughout 2023. The results showed that 29 patients were classified as having malignant tumors based on ultrasound, but only 26 were confirmed malignant through histopathology. The compatibility rate between the two methods was only 37.5%, and the Fisher Exact test showed no statistically significant compatibility (p < 0.01). These findings suggest that ultrasound examination has limitations in distinguishing benign and malignant lesions. Therefore, ultrasound results need to be confirmed by histopathological examination to avoid misdiagnosis and therapy. This study confirms the importance of a multimodal approach in breast cancer diagnosis.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of the application of positive psychology on the development of human resource (HR) performance at PT Mandiri Abadi Permai Medan City. This study uses a quantitative approach with explanatory methods and simple linear regression analysis techniques. A sample of 92 respondents was selected through simple random sampling from a total population of 120 employees. The research instrument was in the form of a closed questionnaire with a Likert scale and tested for validity and reliability. The results of the study show that there is a positive and significant influence between positive psychology and human resource performance. A significance value of 0.000 < 0.05 and a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.398 showed that 39.8% of variations in HR performance could be explained by the application of positive psychology, while the rest were influenced by other factors. These findings are reinforced by Seligman's positive psychology theory and Luthans' concept of Psychological Capital, which emphasizes the importance of optimism, hope, and resilience in supporting work productivity. Thus, companies need to integrate positive psychology approaches in HR development strategies to create a healthy, adaptive, and productive work environment.

Abstract

Introduction:Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally, with sudden cardiac arrest requiring immediate action during the critical period to prevent irreversible damage. Nursing students must be highly trained in Basic Life Support (BLS), particularly in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), to effectively manage emergency situations. Method: This study employed a systematic literature review using the PICOT framework to analyze five peer-reviewed articles published between 2021 and 2025. The articles, sourced from Google Scholar and PubMed, examined the impact of BLS training on nursing students through quasi-experimental pre–posttest designs. Result:The results consistently showed significant improvements in students' knowledge, technical skills, and readiness following BLS training. Simulation-based teaching, led by certified instructors, effectively enhances both cognitive and psychomotor skills. Discussion: The observed low baseline competency prior to training underscores the necessity of integrating BLS into nursing curriculum. Ongoing simulation-based instruction is crucial for promoting clinical preparedness and building confidence among nursing students. Conclusion: BLS training substantially improves nursing students' ability to perform CPR. It is strongly recommended that nursing education institutions adopt regular and structured BLS training programs to ensure the preparedness of future healthcare professionals.

Abstract

This study developed gluten-free, low-sugar snack bars by valorizing underutilized black rice flour (BR) and rice bran flour (RB) to address health concerns in conventional formulations. Employing a factorial completely randomized design (BR: 10-30%, RB: 10-20%), we evaluated six formulations through proximate analysis, reducing sugar assays, and organoleptic testing (n=75 untrained panelists). The 10% BR + 10% RB formulation emerged as optimal, demonstrating superior sensory acceptance across all parameters (overall hedonic score: 5.53±1.09) and favorable nutritional profile: 5.72% moisture, 25.54% fat, 9.61% protein, and 57.3% carbohydrates. Contrastingly, 20% BR + 10% RB showed the highest reducing sugar content (8.00±0.33 g/mL) but suboptimal sensory appeal. Nutritional variability was formulation-dependent: increased BR substitution elevated moisture (p<0.05) and ash content (p<0.01) due to amylose-mediated water absorption and mineral enrichment, while higher RB proportions reduced carbohydrate content (p<0.01) through nutrient displacement. Although the optimal formulation achieves sensory-nutritional balance, compositional refinement remains necessary for full compliance with Indonesian National Standards (SNI). This research establishes a sustainable framework for transforming agricultural byproducts into functional foods..

Abstract

Wasting is a condition of thinness characterized by a weight-for-height index (W/H) with a Z-Score limit of <-2 SD. The problem in this study is the high incidence of wasting in 2022, which was 139 people (6.9%), and in 2023, it was 91 people (5.7%). These numbers are considered high because, according to WHO targets, the wasting rate should be <5%. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between maternal knowledge, exclusive breastfeeding, and infectious diseases with the incidence of wasting in toddlers at UPTD Puskesmas Johan Pahlawan, West Aceh Regency. With a cross-sectional approach and a correlational design, this study employed a quantitative research methodology that examines the relationship between variables at the same time (point time approach). Seventy toddlers with wasting made up the study's population, and the total sampling approach was applied. The Chi-Square test was employed in both univariate and bivariate analysis.The findings demonstrated a strong correlation between the occurrence of toddler wasting and maternal knowledge (p=0.042), exclusive breastfeeding (p=0.028), and infectious illnesses (p=0.000). In conclusion, the value (p < α 0.05) indicates a correlation between the occurrence of wasting in toddlers, infectious illnesses, exclusive breastfeeding, and maternal knowledge. It is recommended that healthcare workers, especially at the health center, increase education for mothers of toddlers on the importance of exclusive breastfeeding and prevention of infectious diseases (diarrhea and ARI), and that mothers of toddlers can be more active in seeking information and participating in health counseling activities organized by posyandu/health centers to understand the importance of exclusive breastfeeding.

Abstract

The activeness of visits to the posyandu is crucial for monitoring children's health and nutrition by regularly weighing toddlers' weight with the Kartu Menuju Sehat (KMS, or Healthy Growth Card). This study aims to determine the factors related to mothers' visits with their toddlers to Posyandu Permata Hati in Drien Rampak Village, West Aceh Regency, in 2024. The quantitative study uses an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consists of all mothers with toddlers aged 0-59 months, with a total sampling method of 87 mothers. The instrument used a questionnaire covering all variables, including maternal knowledge, education, occupation, family support, and visits to the posyandu. The analysis uses the Chi-Square test. The results show no relationship between maternal knowledge (p=1.000) and education (p=1.000), but there is a relationship between maternal occupation (p=0.004) and family support (p=0.000) with visits to the posyandu. The suggestion for the posyandu is to hold regular educational activities to increase mothers' awareness of the importance of visiting the posyandu. For working mothers or those with various other activities, it's essential to schedule time to bring their toddlers to the posyandu.

Abstract

Diarrheal disease remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality, particularly among children under five years of age. In this study, there were 80 reported cases of diarrhea within the working area of Lhok Bengkuang Public Health Center. However, diarrhea in toddlers can be prevented through adequate maternal knowledge and positive attitudes in managing the condition. This study aimed to determine and analyze the relationship between maternal knowledge and attitudes and the incidence of diarrhea in children under five in the Lhok Bengkuang Health Center area, South Aceh Regency. This research employed a descriptive quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach to examine the relationship between variables at a single point in time. The total sample consisted of 50 mothers of under-five children who sought treatment at the health center. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test to assess the relationship between the two variables. The results showed a statistically significant relationship, with p-values < 0.001 and = 0.001, both less than 0.05, between maternal knowledge and attitudes and the incidence of diarrhea in toddlers. It can be concluded that maternal knowledge and attitudes have a strong association with diarrhea prevention in children under five. Based on these findings, it is recommended to provide practical training for mothers on diarrhea prevention measures and to conduct educational activities aimed at enhancing collective awareness.

Abstract

Repetitive motions, poor posture, and overuse injuries may lead to musculoskeletal diseases (MSDs), which manifest as pain in the muscles, joints, and tendons. The physical demands, frequent motions, and reliance on hand tools put palm oil harvesters at a higher risk of developing MSDs than other types of workers. The purpose of this research was to identify causes of work-related injuries (MSDs) reported by palm oil harvesters in North Sumatra's PTPN IV Regional I Sei Putih. The method used was quantitative and cross-sectional in nature. Using complete sampling, 34 participants were chosen for the survey. Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) was used for data collection. The data were examined with the use of univariate and bivariate approaches, with a significance threshold of p < 0.05, utilizing the Chi-square and Fisher's Exact tests. Aging (p = 0.000), length of service (p = 0.001), and smoking behaviors (p = 0.002) were shown to be significantly associated with complaints of MSDs. The correlation between BMI and the outcome was not statistically significant (p = 0.704). There was a strong correlation between age and complaints of MSDs. Companies should prioritize the implementation of ergonomic programs and frequent health monitoring as preventative measures for MSDs, particularly for employees aged 35 and above who have been with the company for at least five years, according to these results. It is also important to improve health education on the dangers of smoking. To get stronger and more thorough findings, further study with a bigger sample and deeper analysis is needed.
