Abstract

Nephrotic syndrome is a group of diseases characterized by massive proteinuria that causes hypoalbuminemia, resulting in hyperlipidemia, edema, and various complications. One of the etiologies of nephrotic syndrome itself is primary and secondary glomerulonephritis in the form of infection, malignancy, connective tissue disease, drugs or toxins and due to systemic diseases. The incidence of nephrotic syndrome cases in adults does not have a significant difference between genders, where the cases are 3 per 100,000 population. The broad clinical manifestations of nephrotic syndrome require health workers to conduct anamnesis, physical examination, and supporting examinations carefully. When nephrotic syndrome has been established, management will be carried out. Management that can be given to this disorder is non-pharmacological such as a low protein and salt diet and pharmacological especially for the underlying disease. Non-specific treatment to reduce proteinuria, control edema, and treat complications that may occur. The prognosis for nephrotic syndrome depends on the underlying cause.

Abstract

Diphtheria is a type of infectious disease that can be prevented by immunization. The cause of diphtheria is toxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae strains. Humans are the only reservoir for the spread of diphtheria which is transmitted either through droplets, through eating utensils, as well as through close direct contact with skin lesions. This disease is characterized by sore throat, fever, malaise, and on examination pseudomembranes are found in the tonsils, pharynx and/or nasal cavity. Objective: To find out the magnitude of the Diphtheria outbreak problem and the risk factors that influence it. Method: This research is a literature study. The search was carried out in the Google Scholar database published in the period 2013 to 2023. Results: Shows that in extraordinary cases of diphtheria there are some who have received the DPT vaccine and there are also those who have not received the DPT vaccine, as well as a lack of public knowledge regarding diphtheria which can lead to outbreaks diphtheria. Conclusion: Epidemiological investigations of diphtheria outbreaks at this stage are still influenced by several factors which often occur, namely incomplete coverage of DPT vaccine in the toddler group, diphtheria transmission is prone to occur in the age group ≤ 15 years and low level of knowledge of the population due to lack of providing education about diphtheria disease.

Abstract

Mental health is an important indicator of the overall public health status. Mental health surveillance through screening serves as a strategy for early detection of mental disorders and continuous case monitoring. In Indonesia, approximately 630,827 individuals or about 2.0% of the population aged >15 years are reported to have mental health problems based on provincial data. This study was conducted at Cilembang Public Health Center, Tasikmalaya City, using a mixed-method approach that combines quantitative and qualitative methods. The quantitative sample was selected using total sampling, involving 35 new cases of people with mental disorders (ODGJ) recorded in 2024. Meanwhile, qualitative subjects were selected through purposive sampling, involving surveillance officers engaged in the mental health program. The qualitative findings cover the input, process, and output components of the surveillance implementation. Results show that the mental health surveillance program at Cilembang PHC is supported by various health personnel, funding from the BOK program, and the SIMKESWA digital system integrated with the Ministry of Health. Active surveillance is carried out through community and school screenings using the SDQ and SRQ-20 instruments, followed by diagnosis, counseling, and initial management. The program exceeded the target for identifying severe ODGJ cases. However, screening among individuals aged ≥15 years has not been optimally implemented due to competing program priorities.

Abstract

Undernutrition is a severe nutritional deficiency condition caused by inadequate daily intake of energy and protein, which occurs over a considerable period of time. Malnutrition generally affects children under five years old and is influenced by various factors. According to the National Basic Health Research Report (Riskesdas) in 2018, the national proportion of children aged 6–24 months with undernutrition and severe malnutrition was recorded at 17.7%. This study is a case report of a 23-month-old boy living in a village in 2025. The case was observed over a three-week period using a home visit approach. The diagnosis of undernutrition was established based on national guidelines, specifically the Regulation of the Indonesian Minister of Health No. 2 of 2020 concerning child anthropometric standards. Anthropometric measurements showed the child had a height of 81 cm and a weight of 8.12 kg. The child’s nutritional status was classified as underweight based on the Weight-for-Age (W/A) Z-score. Following diagnosis, the patient received nutritional education, supplementary food, appetite-stimulating vitamins, and growth monitoring. The study concluded that several determinants contributed to the underweight condition in this 23-month-old patient, including behavioral factors, incomplete immunization, and recurrent infections.

Abstract

Acute glomerulonephritis (AGN) is a sudden inflammation of the glomeruli in the kidneys, commonly triggered by an immunologic reaction to bacterial or viral infections, especially group A beta-hemolytic Streptococcus. AGN is most frequently found in children aged 2–10 years, with a higher prevalence in males. One of the most typical forms is post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (PSGN), which appears approximately 1–2 weeks after a pharyngeal or skin infection. The pathogenesis of PSGN involves immune complex formation and complement activation, leading to glomerular injury characterized by hematuria, proteinuria, edema, and hypertension. Diagnosis is based on clinical symptoms, laboratory findings such as elevated ASO titers and decreased C3 levels, and occasionally renal biopsy. Management of PSGN is primarily supportive, including fluid restriction, diuretics, and antihypertensive therapy. In severe cases, corticosteroids, dialysis, or antibiotics may be necessary. The prognosis is generally favorable with proper treatment, although complications such as hypertensive encephalopathy and acute kidney injury may occur. Therefore, early detection and adequate management are crucial to prevent disease progression.

Abstract

One of the complementary therapy treatments that can be used for independent and natural interventions is foot hydrotherapy (warm water foot soak). Warm water foot soak therapy plus a mixture of salt is useful for blood pressure lowering therapy in hypertension. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of warm water foot soak therapy with a mixture of salt on lowering blood pressure in elderly hypertensive patients. The type of research is Quasy-experiment using one group pretest posttest design. The number of samples was 16 respondents taken using the Purposive Sampling technique. The results of the study showed that the average blood pressure before the warm water foot soak therapy with a mixture of salt was systolic 169.62 mmHg and diastolic 102.25 mmHg. The average blood pressure after the warm water foot soak therapy with a mixture of salt was systolic 143.12 mmHg and diastolic 91.88 mmHg. The results of the statistical test showed that there was an effect of warm water foot soak therapy mixed with salt on reducing blood pressure in elderly hypertensive patients in the Siulak Mukai Health Center Work Area in 2024 (p-value = 0.001).
