Abstract

Postpartum blues adalah gangguan emosional awal yang umumnya terjadi pada ibu pascapersalinan dan, jika tidak ditangani, dapat berkembang menjadi depresi pascapersalinan. Ketidakstabilan emosi, kelelahan, dan kurangnya dukungan sering kali memperparah kondisi ini. Psikoedukasi dianggap sebagai salah satu intervensi non-farmakologis yang efektif untuk meningkatkan kesadaran dan mekanisme koping ibu dalam menghadapi masa transisi pascapersalinan. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain quasi eksperimental dengan pendekatan kelompok kontrol pre-test dan post-test. Populasi penelitian adalah ibu nifas hari ke-3 sampai hari ke-10 di wilayah kerja dua puskesmas. Sebanyak 60 ibu nifas dipilih dengan menggunakan purposive sampling, dibagi rata menjadi kelompok intervensi dan kelompok kontrol. Intervensi yang diberikan berupa sesi psikoedukasi yang mencakup perubahan emosi setelah melahirkan, manajemen stres, dan peran dukungan sosial. Data dikumpulkan dengan menggunakan Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) yang telah dimodifikasi. Analisis statistik dilakukan dengan menggunakan uji-t berpasangan dan uji-t independen. Mayoritas responden berusia 20-35 tahun (88,3%), multipara (56,7%), berpendidikan menengah (63,3%), dan merupakan ibu yang tidak bekerja (71,7%). Pasca intervensi, rata-rata skor postpartum blues menurun secara signifikan pada kelompok intervensi (p <0,05), sementara tidak ada perubahan signifikan pada kelompok kontrol. Terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan secara statistik dari intervensi psikoedukasi dalam mengurangi gejala postpartum blues pada ibu pasca melahirkan. Integrasi intervensi ini ke dalam perawatan postpartum standar direkomendasikan untuk meningkatkan kesehatan mental ibu.

Abstract

Demam merupakan kondisi yang umum diatasi dengan sediaan antipiretik, namun penggunaan obat sintetik secara berlebihan dapat menimbulkan resistens, serta gangguan fungsi hati, sehingga diperlukan alternatif dari bahan alami. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi dan membandingkan efek antipiretik dari berbagai sediaan obat baik sintetik maupun herbal terhadap tikus putih (Rattus norvegicus) yang telah diinduksi demam. Penelitian dilakukan di Laboratorium Farmakologi dan Toksikologi FKIK Universitas Muhammadiyah Makassar. Induksi demam dilakukan menggunakan larutan pepton 5% secara intraperitoneal, kemudian hewan uji diberikan perlakuan berupa paracetamol, ibuprofen, natrium diklofenak, ekstrak daun nangka, ekstrak daun mimba, serta Na-CMC sebagai kontrol negatif. Suhu tubuh diukur melalui rektal secara berkala setiap 30 menit selama 2,5 jam. Data dianalisis menggunakan perangkat lunak SPSS melalui uji normalitas dan homogenitas. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa ibuprofen, paracetamol, infusa daun nangka, dan daun mimba secara berurutan memberikan penurunan suhu yang cukup signifikan dibandingkan sediaan lain, natrium diklofenak menunjukkan efektivitas yang lebih rendah. Na-CMC sebagai kontrol tidak memberikan efek antipiretik yang berarti. Namun demikian, hasil analisis statistik menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan efek yang signifikan antar kelompok perlakuan (nilai signifikansi < 0,05). Sedangkan uji lanjutan menunjukkan hasil yang nonsignifikan antara perlakuan obat ibuprofen, paracetamol, infusa daun nangka dan daun mimba yang berarti bahwa kedua sediaan infusa memiliki efek antipiretik.

Abstract

This study is  aimed at assessing the indicators of the external respiratory system in school-aged children living under the environmental conditions of the Republic of Karakalpakstan. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted involving 300 children aged 7 to 14, using spirometry to measure lung vital capacity (VLC) and peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), pulse oximetry to assess blood oxygen saturation (SpO₂), and structured questionnaires to collect data on environmental and behavioral factors. The results showed that around 60% of the participants had reduced VLC and PEFR, and the average SpO₂ was 95%, indicating early signs of respiratory dysfunction. Environmental factors, such as high levels of dust and agrochemical use, were significantly correlated with reduced respiratory function. Furthermore, climatic conditions like low humidity and temperature fluctuations exacerbated these effects. Social and behavioral factors, including low physical activity and poor nutrition, were also linked to respiratory impairment. Comparative analysis with other Central Asian regions revealed a 15–20% higher prevalence of respiratory disorders among Karakalpak children. The findings highlight the urgent need for preventive interventions, including enhanced air quality monitoring, promotion of physical activity, improved nutrition, and regular medical screenings. These measures are essential to reduce the risk of chronic respiratory diseases and improve long-term health outcomes for children in environmentally vulnerable areas.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate traditionally fermented yoghurt in comparison with selected commercially imported brands in Iraq (Kalleh, Pegah, Ramak), focusing on their chemical, microbiological, and physiological characteristics. The analyses included qualitative detection of starch and lactose, pH measurement, enumeration of lactic acid bacteria, and assessment of postprandial glycemic responses in healthy young adults over four weeks. The findings demonstrated that commercial yoghurts contained residual starch and lactose, attributable to the addition of thickening agents and the incomplete utilisation of lactose resulting from the inactivation of viable bacteria by heat treatment or irradiation. In contrast, traditional fermented yoghurt was free of such residues and exhibited significantly higher counts of active bacteria, which contributed to a notable decrease in pH during storage. From a physiological perspective, consumption of traditional yoghurt was associated with the lowest glycemic response, with peak blood glucose reaching 110 mg/dL and returning rapidly to baseline levels (95–100( mg/dL. Conversely, commercial yoghurts produced higher glycemic peaks ranging from )130 – 138( mg/dL, reflecting their higher simple sugar content and variations in processing methods. Such pronounced glycemic elevations may place additional strain on pancreatic β-cells and, if consumed regularly, could increase the risk of insulin resistance.

Abstract

This review aims to assess the nutritional composition and health-promoting effects of selected leafy green vegetables—celery, basil, arugula, garden cress, and radish—and their potential contribution to preventing chronic diseases. Recent scientific evidence (2020–2025) was analyzed from clinical, epidemiological, and biochemical studies highlighting the physiological effects of these vegetables. The review methodology focused on identifying bioactive compounds, including nitrates, flavonoids, vitamins, and minerals, and evaluating their effects on key health outcomes such as cardiovascular performance, metabolic regulation, and digestive function. Results indicate that regular consumption of nitrate-rich leafy vegetables significantly contributes to lowering blood pressure, improving vascular elasticity, and reducing oxidative stress. Bioactive components such as flavonoids and polyphenols enhance lipid metabolism, decrease LDL cholesterol, and support antioxidant defense systems. Furthermore, dietary fiber and phytochemicals from arugula, celery, and basil positively influence gut microbiota composition and intestinal health, while compounds in radish and garden cress demonstrate glucose-regulating and anti-inflammatory properties.Overall, incorporating a diverse range of leafy green vegetables into daily diets serves as an effective, low-cost nutritional strategy to improve cardiovascular, metabolic, and digestive health. The findings underscore the need for further controlled clinical trials to determine optimal intake levels, synergistic effects among different species, and precise biochemical pathways underlying these health benefits.
