Abstract

This study aims to determine the most optimal storage conditions for maintaining the stability of vitamin C and aspirin tablets by considering key environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, light exposure, and storage duration. The review was conducted using a systematic review approach based on the PRISMA guidelines. Literature searches were performed through three main sources, namely PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar, covering publications from 2015 to early 2025. The search through Google Scholar was carried out to complement the findings and minimize publication bias. A total of 14 research articles that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed in depth. The results indicate that vitamin C tablets exhibit the highest stability at low to room temperature (<30°C), under dry conditions with relative humidity below 75% RH, and protected from direct light exposure. In contrast, aspirin tablets show optimal stability at room temperature (around 25°C), under moderate humidity (<60% RH), and when stored in tightly sealed, light-resistant containers. The degradation of vitamin C is primarily driven by oxidation induced by heat, light, and moisture, whereas aspirin undergoes hydrolysis under humid and high-temperature conditions. Therefore, storing both tablets in a cool, dry place away from direct light is the most effective approach to preserve their stability and therapeutic efficacy throughout their shelf life.

Abstract

Pneumonia is a lower respiratory tract infection that remains a major challenge to public health worldwide. The use of antibiotics as primary therapy is often irrational in terms of indications, dosage, and drug selection, which can impact clinical effectiveness and treatment costs. This study aims to assess the rationality and analyze the cost-effectiveness of antibiotic therapy for BPJS patients with pneumonia in the inpatient unit of Hospital X. This study is a non-experimental study with a descriptive observational method using the payer perspective (BPJS) approach. Data were collected retrospectively from the medical records of pneumonia patients from January 2023 to June 2025. Rationality was analyzed using the 4T method. Cost-effectiveness analysis was performed using the CEA method through ACER and ICER calculations. Based on the results of the rationality evaluation, it shows that the rationality of antibiotic use based on the 4T approach includes appropriate indications (100%), appropriate drugs (100%), appropriate patients (97.7%), appropriate dose (97.1%), appropriate frequency (100%), appropriate duration (98.8%), and appropriate route (100%). The total direct medical costs of patients with cefoperazone therapy were Rp 6,073,156, while those with ceftriaxone therapy were Rp 5,474,146. The ACER value of cefoperazone was Rp 65,614 per 1% clinical effectiveness, the ACER value of ceftriaxone was Rp 57,900 per 1% clinical effectiveness, while the ICER value was Rp 866,667 per additional 1% effectiveness.

Abstract

Obesity is a condition characterized by the accumulation of excess fat in the body that can cause systemic metabolic changes. Rambutan peel is known to be rich in bioactive compounds such as geraniin, corilagin, ellagic acid, and other active compounds. This study aims to analyze the effect of rambutan peel extract on creatinine levels and kidney histology in obese rat models. The experimental research method used a post-test only control group design. A total of 25 male rats were divided into 5 groups: Normal group (K-); Obese group induced by coconut oil and 15% sugar water (K+); Obese group given ellagic acid (T1); Groups T2 and T3 induced by coconut oil and 15% sugar water and rambutan peel extract at doses of 15 mg/kgBW and 30 mg/kgBW. The parameters of this study were creatinine levels and kidney glomerular diameter. Data analysis used one-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD tests. The results of the study showed that rambutan peel extract could significantly reduce creatinine levels and glomerular diameter (p<0.05). The most optimal reduction was shown at a dose of 30 mg/kgBW for both creatinine levels and glomerular diameter. It can be concluded that rambutan peel extract has the potential to reduce creatinine levels and improve glomerular diameter in obese rat models.

Abstract

This study evaluated the antidiabetic activity and phytochemical profile of the ethanolic extract of Scleria sumatrensis Retz. Using an alloxan-induced diabetic rat model. Diabetes was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of alloxan (150 mg/kg BW) after a 12-hour fasting period, and fasting blood glucose was measured at three standardized time points: GD1 (baseline), GD2 (72 hours post-induction), and GD3 (day 14 post-treatment). GC–MS analysis revealed several major constituents, including ethyl α-D-glucopyranoside, ethyl linoleate, ethyl linolenate, phytol, tocopherol, and β-sitosterol, which are associated with improved insulin sensitivity, modulation of PPAR-γ–related pathways, antioxidant protection of pancreatic β-cells, and reduced intestinal carbohydrate digestion. Rats were assigned to negative control (vehicle), positive control (metformin 45 mg/kg BW), and extract-treated groups (75, 150, and 300 mg/kg BW). Percentage reduction from GD2 to GD3 was analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post-hoc test. The extract produced a significant and dose-dependent decrease in fasting glucose (p < 0.001). All extract doses differed significantly from the negative control, and the 300 mg/kg dose demonstrated glucose-lowering efficacy comparable to metformin. These findings indicate that Scleria sumatrensis possesses vigorous antihyperglycemic activity consistent with its lipophilic phytochemical composition. Further studies are required to verify the underlying mechanisms and identify the most active constituents.

Abstract

The role of health workers as supporters and trainers in improving performance, providing motivation for Posyandu cadres to always be involved in all Posyandu activities. The level of knowledge of health workers in assessing basic Posyandu skills will greatly determine the quality of services provided. The formulation of the problem in this study through preliminary research conducted on health workers in 10 health centers in Medan City showed that the average value of their knowledge about Posyandu was 63.5 (target ≥ 70). This study aims to determine the effect of health worker training conducted by the Medan City Health Office. The study was conducted using a quasi-experimental method. The number of research samples was 30 people. The material provided was the latest concept and regulation on the integration of primary services at Posyandu. With interactive lecture training methods, group discussions, role play and field practice. The results showed that the mean pre-test value was 72.52 while the mean post-test value was 92.56, there was an increase in value of 29.81 and after being tested with Wilcoxon the p-value was <0.001. The results show that there is a significant difference in the knowledge of training participants about integrated health posts. Knowledge variables according to age, gender, education, work unit, length of service are not factors that influence the pre-test and post-test scores of health workers. It can be concluded that the training that has been given has increased the knowledge of health workers from the post-test assessment conducted. The results of this study are expected to be a medium for evaluating the implementation of basic competency training for integrated health posts for health workers so that the next training period can provide better results.

Abstract

Livestock products are generally very easily contaminated by bacteria because they contain high nutritional value, especially protein. This study aimed to identify Staphylococcus aureus contamination in beef samples taken from traders at Tavip Market and Kebun Lada Market in Binjai City. The study used 13 beef samples collected through a random sampling method. Each sample weighed 100 grams and was taken with sterile equipment, then transported in a cool box at a low temperature of approximately ±4°C. Other materials used included Buffer Peptone Water (BPW), Baird Parker Agar (BPA), and Coagulase Rabbit Plasma (CRP), which are specific media for S. aureus. Total Counting of S. aureus Bacterial Colonies Using the Total Plate Count (TPC) Method. The results showed that all 13 samples tested positive for S. aureus contamination, exceeding the Indonesian National Standard limit of 10² CFU/g, with the highest colony count reaching 2.9 × 10⁴ CFU/g. This indicates that the level of S. aureus bacterial contamination exceeds the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) limit, necessitating improved sanitation and hygiene in the market. Consumers are advised to thoroughly cook meat before consumption.

Abstract

Hypertension is a severe health problem that generally requires combination therapy. Using a combination of antihypertensive therapy and long-term therapy requires monitoring the effects of potential drug-drug interactions (PDDIs) experienced by patients. This study aims to determine the drug interaction profile related to severity and mechanism. The method was descriptive and observational by recapitulating the prescription in several pharmacies in the coastal area of Surabaya. The samples are prescriptions consist of antihypertensives with other drugs. This research was conducted for three months. This study showed that 43% potential drug-drug interactions. The pharmacodynamic interactions are slightly more dominant (49%) than pharmacokinetics (45%). Meanwhile, the highest severity of drug interactions, namely minor (49%), followed by moderate (39%) and severe (12%), was in the last position. The modest drug interaction at a moderate level is amlodipine, which can decrease the pharmacological effect of metformin. Therefore, pharmacists need to monitor blood sugar levels regularly. Serious interactions are indeed the lowest incidence; otherwise, the effects can be dangerous, so pharmacists need to monitor patients who receive drugs with severe drug interactions. One of them is amlodipine and simvastatin, which can increase the risk of rhabdomyolysis from statins. Pharmacists have an important role in monitoring the effects of drug interactions in hypertensive patients. Patients get the maximum therapeutic effect with minimal drug interactions or prevent drug interactions.

Abstract

Pharmacist-led interventions, particularly through education and counselling, play an essential role in supporting treatment adherence and improving the quality of life of breast cancer patients. This article aims to review the influence of pharmacist interventions—such as medication counseling, side effect management, and adherence monitoring—on patient understanding, psychological aspects, and quality-of-life indicators. Results from various experimental studies and randomized controlled trials suggest that structured pharmacist interventions can improve patient understanding, reduce anxiety, and support adherence to long-term therapies such as tamoxifen and chemotherapy. Improvements were also observed in various domains of quality of life, including physical, emotional, and social functioning. However, some studies show inconsistent results, especially in terms of statistical differences in changes in quality of life, which may be due to factors such as sample size, duration of intervention, or other variables, including family support and disease prognosis. Overall, the involvement of pharmacists is an integral part of oncology care, serving as both an educator and a long-term therapy companion.

Abstract

Indonesia is the second-largest producer of plastic waste in the world, while conventional plastics require a long time to decompose and may generate harmful emissions. Therefore, the development of biodegradable bioplastics has become increasingly important. Abundant cassava peels have potential as a starch source, with glycerol serving as a plasticizer and chitosan as a reinforcing agent. This study aimed to analyze the effect of varying glycerol concentrations (0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 mL) on the functional group characteristics and thermal properties of cassava peel starch–chitosan-based bioplastics. The bioplastics were synthesized by blending starch and chitosan at an 8:2 ratio, followed by the addition of glycerol at different concentrations. Characterization was conducted using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). FTIR results indicated no formation of new functional groups; however, shifts and broadening of the –OH absorption bands were observed, suggesting physical interactions through hydrogen bonding among starch, chitosan, and glycerol. DSC analysis revealed that glycerol concentration significantly affected the thermal properties of the bioplastics, with the highest melting temperature (Tm) obtained at 6 mL glycerol (160.67 °C) and the lowest at 8 mL glycerol (129.33 °C). The formulation containing 8 mL glycerol exhibited the highest fusion enthalpy (321.73 J/g). These findings indicate that the addition of 6 mL glycerol provides the most optimal plasticization condition with the highest thermal stability, whereas higher glycerol concentrations result in over-plasticization. The optimal formulation shows potential for further development as an environmentally friendly packaging material.

Abstract

Protein helps the body to grow and maintain tissue and replace damaged cells. If the intake of protein in toddlers is insufficient during their growth period, the growth and development of toddlers can be delayed and nutritional problems related to stunting can arise. And the level of protein adequacy affects the occurrence of stunting. One of the highly nutritious and easily accessible local foods that can be used as additional food is green beans, soybeans have the best source of vegetable protein, red beans have a protein content of between 16% and 20%, and are also a source of minerals and vitamins. The objective of the research was to determine the protein content in several types of beans (red beans, green beans, fresh soybeans) for handling stunting using the kjeldahl method and visible spectrophotometry. The method used in this research used the kjeldahl method, a simple way to determine total nitrogen in samples of several types of beans. This research also used a spectrophotometric method that can determine specific protein levels, had high accuracy and could measure small substances. The protein content obtained in the samples using the Kjeldahl method is Fresh Soybeans 35,19 gram, Green Beans 33,7 gram and Red Beans 28,6 gram divided by 100 grams of sample. The spectrophotometric method is Fresh Soybeans 29,09 gram, Green Beans 17,82gram and Red Beans 13,63 gram divided by 100 grams of sample. The protein content in the samples, namely fresh soybeans, green beans and red beans can be used in handling stunting because the levels obtained in the three samples can meet daily protein.
