Abstract

Typhoid fever in children remains a health problem in developing countries, with hematological changes such as leukocyte and platelet abnormalities being frequently observed. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between leukocyte and platelet counts in pediatric patients with typhoid fever. A cross-sectional design was employed using secondary data from the Clinical Pathology Laboratory of RSDI Banjarbaru City. A total of 72 children aged 5–13 years who met the inclusion criteria (diagnosis of typhoid fever by Tubex TF, no prior antibiotic therapy) were analyzed. Leukocyte and platelet measurements were performed using a hematology analyzer, and data were analyzed using simple linear regression (SPSS version 24). Results showed a mean age of 8.2 years, with a higher proportion of males (59.7%). Leukocyte distribution was highly variable, ranging from severe leukopenia (1200–1248/mm³) to extremely high values. Platelet distribution was also wide, with very low values of 51,000/mm³ and high outliers up to 460,000/mm³. Regression analysis yielded the equation y = 13.74x + 118195 with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.4998, indicating that approximately 50% of the variability in platelet count could be explained by leukocyte count. Pathophysiologically, this relationship is mediated by proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6) and leukocyte-platelet aggregation induced by Salmonella typhi endotoxin. In conclusion, there is a moderate positive correlation between leukocyte and platelet counts in children with typhoid fever. These hematological parameters have the potential to serve as adjunctive diagnostic tools and for risk stratification, particularly in settings with limited blood culture facilities.

Abstract

Stress among adolescents has become an increasingly important public health issue, particularly due to academic pressure, social demands, and limited access to mental health services. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of a community nursing intervention in reducing stress levels among adolescents in Aceh Province. This study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design using a non-equivalent control group design. A total of 60 respondents were selected through purposive sampling and divided into an intervention group (n = 30) and a control group (n = 30). Stress levels were measured using the validated Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-42). The intervention was delivered as a structured program consisting of psychoeducation, group-based stress management, and peer support over six sessions. The Paired t-test showed a significant reduction in stress scores in the intervention group, from 26.43 to 16.15 (p < 0.001). The Independent t-test also showed a significant difference between the intervention and control groups after the intervention (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that the community nursing intervention was effective in improving coping ability and reducing stress among adolescents. The integration of community-based programs is needed as a preventive strategy to support adolescent mental health.

Abstract

Hypertension is a major public health problem that contributes substantially to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. Hypertension control is strongly influenced by patients’ adherence to medication, as poor adherence may lead to uncontrolled blood pressure and increase the risk of complications. This study aimed to analyze the association between medication adherence and hypertension status among patients with hypertension in the working area of Tamalanrea Jaya Public Health Center, Makassar City. This study employed an analytical cross-sectional design. The study population consisted of all productive-age patients with hypertension aged 15–64 years who were recorded in the register book of Tamalanrea Jaya Public Health Center from January to September 2020, with an estimated population of 215 individuals. A total of 140 respondents were selected using accidental sampling. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses, with the Chi-square test applied at a significance level of p < 0.05. The findings showed that most respondents with poor medication adherence had uncontrolled hypertension, whereas most adherent respondents had controlled hypertension. Statistical analysis revealed a significant association between medication adherence and hypertension status, with a p-value of 0.002. These findings indicate that medication adherence plays an important role in blood pressure control among patients with hypertension. Strengthening health education, routine monitoring, and the role of healthcare professionals at the primary care level is essential to support effective hypertension management.

Abstract

Heat-cured acrylic resin is widely used as a denture base material due to its favorable esthetics, biocompatibility, and ease of manipulation. However, this material has water absorption properties, and exposure to acidic and alcoholic solutions may affect its surface roughness. Bitter palm wine derived from aren, lontar, and nipah contains alcohol and has an acidic nature that may interact with the surface of acrylic resin. This study aimed to analyze the effect of immersion in three types of bitter palm wine on the surface roughness of heat-cured acrylic resin denture bases. This laboratory experimental study employed a pretest–posttest with control group design. A total of 24 heat-cured acrylic resin plates measuring 30 × 10 × 2 mm were divided into four groups: distilled water as the control group and bitter palm wine from aren, lontar, and nipah as treatment groups. Surface roughness was measured before and after immersion using a Surface Roughness Tester (SRT). Data were analyzed using the One Way ANOVA and LSD tests. Surface roughness values varied among the immersion groups. However, statistical analysis showed no significant difference between groups (p = 0.778). Descriptively, immersion in bitter palm wine showed a tendency to alter the surface roughness of heat-cured acrylic resin, although the effect was not statistically significant.

Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) remain the leading causes of death worldwide and are closely associated with unhealthy dietary patterns. This condition highlights the need for comprehensive interventions, including dietary approaches. One strategy to reduce the severity of NCDs is the development of food innovations that can improve diet quality, particularly in terms of palatability, without increasing disease risk. Fish protein hydrolysate (FPH) contains amino acids such as glutamate, which contributes to umami taste and can be utilized as a flavor enhancer to improve food acceptability. This study aimed to compare the proximate composition of FPH derived from tuna (Thunnus sp.) and kawakawa (Euthynnus affinis) as a basis for developing flavor enhancers for NCD dietary management. This study used a laboratory experimental design with a quantitative descriptive approach. FPH was produced through enzymatic hydrolysis using papain, followed by proximate analysis including ash, moisture, carbohydrate, protein, and fat contents. The results showed that protein content was higher in tuna FPH, whereas its moisture content was lower than that of kawakawa FPH. Both samples had low fat and ash contents. All parameters differed significantly between samples (p < 0.05), including ash content (p = 0.014), moisture content (p = 0.019), protein content (p = 0.026), carbohydrate content (p = 0.038), and fat content (p = 0.047). Overall, tuna FPH showed better nutritional characteristics and has potential as a natural flavor enhancer to support dietary management in NCDs.
