Abstract

The extraction, isolation, and analysis of bioactive compounds from plants are fundamental in the study of medicinal plants. This review explores various techniques and methods used for the extraction, isolation, and analysis of bioactive compounds from plant materials. Traditional methods such as maceration, percolation, and Soxhlet extraction are commonly used, but novel techniques have emerged to enhance efficiency and selectivity. Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), pressurized liquid extraction (PLE), supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), and enzyme-assisted extraction are modern approaches that offer improved yields and efficiency. After extraction, bioactive compounds need to be characterized and analyzed. Chromatographic techniques, such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography (GC), are commonly employed for separation and quantification. Spectroscopic techniques, including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry (MS), provide valuable structural information. The continuous development of extraction and analytical techniques contributes to the discovery and utilization of bioactive compounds from plants in various applications. Future research can explore metabolomics, high-throughput screening, chemoinformatics, network pharmacology, multivariate data analysis, and computational modeling to enhance phytochemical investigations. The proposed methods and techniques complement traditional approaches, expanding our understanding of plant chemistry and its potential applications.

Abstract

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), included in the Retroviridae family, is a virus that causes AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome), a syndrome caused by a decrease in the body's immune system. Compliance with taking medication on HIV/AIDS clients is very important, non-adherence in implementing therapy will reduce the effectiveness of ARV drugs and even increase viral resistance in the body. Information, motivation and ability to behave are fundamental determinants of a behavior in adherence to taking medication. This study will analyze the factors associated with adherence to taking ARV medication in HIV/AIDS patients to find out the causes of nonadherence to taking ARV medication. This type of research uses descriptive research methods while based on the time dimension the research uses a cross sectional design. The research was conducted at Cut Meutia General Hospital. This research was conducted from 2018-2019. The sampling technique in this study used the total sampling method. The population in this study were all HIV/AIDS patients who were treated at the VCT and CST clinics at Cut Meutia Hospital, North Aceh District, which were recorded until 2018-2019, totaling 62 people.

Abstract

Humour, when appropriately incorporated into nursing care, has demonstrated positive effects on patient outcomes and nursing staff well-being. This abstract explores the role of humour in healthcare, focusing on its impact on reducing stress levels, increasing patient satisfaction, and improving emotional well-being. It also investigates the influence of humour on nursing staff morale, job satisfaction, and overall well-being. Incorporating humour into nursing care creates a positive and relaxed atmosphere for patients, leading to reduced stress levels and enhanced patient satisfaction. Humour also uplifts patients' spirits, fostering emotional well-being and improving coping abilities. In terms of nursing staff, humour helps reduce stress and burnout, fosters a positive work environment, and enhances staff camaraderie. Although specific quantitative data on the relationship between humour and staff retention is limited, a positive association between job satisfaction and staff retention in the nursing profession suggests that humour indirectly contributes to higher staff retention rates. Practical strategies for integrating humour into nursing practice include knowing patients' preferences, using light-hearted conversations, sharing humorous stories, and employing visual humour. By embracing these strategies, nurses can create a positive and engaging healthcare environment, benefiting both patients and nursing staff.

Abstract

The plant known as kersen leaf (Muntingia calabura L) is quite widespread in tropical regions and is frequently used by the local population as a traditional antibacterial because it has a number of pharmacological properties, one of which is the ability to kill Escherichia coli germs. The purpose of this study is to ascertain whether cherry leaf extract (Muntingia calabural L) inhibits Escherichia coli growth and whether cherry leaf extract (Muntingia calabural L) has an antibacterial impact on Escherichia coli. This study tested the ethanol extract of cherry leaves (Muntingia calabural L) against Escherichia coli bacteria using an experimental laboratory method. The collected data were examined using nonparametric statistical analysis known as ANOVA. According to the results of the phytochemical research, Kersen leaves contain tannins and saponins but no flavonoids. Escherichia coli antibacterial studies revealed that kersen leaf extract has a growth-inhibiting impact on these germs. As the concentration of the extract increased, a larger inhibition zone formed. Kersen leaves contain tannins and saponins, and the extract from these leaves can be used to treat bacteria such as Escherichia coli.

Abstract

Cltoral neurofibromas are benign tumors originating from peripheral nerves of the clitoris. While neurofibromas can occur in various anatomical locations, their occurrence in the clitoral region is extremely uncommon. Few cases of clitoral neurofibromas have been reported in the literature, and even fewer have focused on the radiologic imaging findings. Therefore, there is a limited understanding of the specific radiologic characteristics of clitoral neurofibromas. We present a 38-year-old woman with painless clitoral mass for the previous 2 years. The patient noted the mass to be enlarged in the past 5 months. Physical examination revealed a palpable and well-circumscribed mass arising from the clitoral shaft. Cytological examination was performed with the impression of fibroma. Contrast enhanced CT scan revealed an ovoid, well-circumscribed enhancing mass on clitoris shaft suggestive of a benign lesion, consistent with description provided. Surgical excision biopsy was performed followed with histopathological examination with the impression of neurofibroma.This case report considered highly specific examination for the clitoral neurofibroma.

Abstract

Background : Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Mortality and incidence rates are generally highest in high-income countries, especially the United States and European countries. In the United States, it is estimated that 234,030 people were diagnosed with lung cancer in 2018. Adenocarcinoma is the most dominant type of histological lung cancer, with the papillary adenocarcinoma subtype rarely encountered.Case Report : A case was reported from a 66-year-old male with slaid number B / 4903/19. On macroscopic examination from biopsy tissue appeared gray, springy, with a volume of ± 0.2 cc. On microscopic examination, a tumor mass shows form a papillary structure with fibrovascular core and a small portion of solid. Consists of tumour cells with pleomorphic nuclei, rough chromatin, some with intranuclear vacuole, pale cytoplasm and protruding nuclei. Mitotic was found. Stroma consists of fibrous connective tissue infiltrated by tumor cells and inflammation of lymphocyte cells. Dilated blood vessels and congestion. Areas of necrosis and lymphovascular invasion were seen.Discussion and Conclusions : Based on the histopathological picture, the patient is diagnosed with papillary adenocarcinoma of the lung with a classical histology picture that makes it easy to established the diagnosis. Prognose was poor.

Abstract

Hypertension serves as an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis development and is linked to factors that predispose to aortic calcification. Furthermore, hypertension has the potential to cause the acute rupture of existing plaques by elevating mechanical pressure on them. Chest X-ray imaging is a commonly employed method for identifying aortic calcification during routine examinations. Medial arterial calcification is visualized as radiopaque findings resembling tram-tracks, while calcification within the intima is observed as radiopaque spots.A cross-sectional study involving 92 hypertensive individuals who underwent chest X-ray imaging at RSUP Haji Adam Malik Medan aimed to assess the distribution of study subjects in terms of age, gender, hypertension severity, and aortic calcification degree. Hypertension history was extracted from patients' medical records, and aortic calcification measurements were conducted in the aortic arch by both the researcher and a radiologist. The majority of hypertensive patients were aged over 65, accounting for 40.2% of the sample, with a predominant female population of 57.6%. Stage 1 hypertension was the most prevalent, affecting 52.2% of the subjects, and grade one aortic calcification was the most common, observed in 63% of cases.A weak yet statistically significant positive correlation between hypertension and aortic calcification was identified (p < 0.05; r = 0.196) in the patient population at RSUP Haji Adam Malik Medan.
