Abstract

The most common complaint experienced during the third trimester of pregnancy is low back pain (LBP). Low back pain during pregnancy is described as pain in the lumbar region, above the sacrum, and this pain can radiate to the legs. The pain is often dull in nature and worsened by flexion of the lumbar spine toward the anterior. Efforts that can be made to minimize LBP complaints in pregnant women in the third trimester include relaxation techniques and breathing exercises, hydrotherapy, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), massage, behavioral techniques, hypnotherapy, therapeutic touch, yoga, and the application of balm. The aim of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of a combination of audiovisual-based prenatal yoga and lavender balm in reducing LBP in pregnant women in the third trimester. The study design was analytical with a two-group design including a control group, with a sample size of 60 participants. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. Data analysis was performed using paired t-tests and independent t-tests. The results showed that the mean LBP value before intervention in the treatment group was 6.25 and the mean LBP value in the control group was 6.01 with a p-value of 0.345. The mean LBP value after intervention in the treatment group was 3.45 and the mean LBP value in the control group was 7.65 with a p-value of 0.00. Based on bivariate data analysis, the p-value was 0.000. The combination of prenatal yoga based on audio-visual materials and lavender balm was effective in reducing LBP in pregnant women in the third trimester. Recommendations include the regular practice of prenatal yoga for pregnant women and the use of balm to reduce LBP complaints in pregnant women. Keywords: Prenatal yoga; lavender balm; lower back pain; pregnant women

Abstract

Unhygienic tableware has the potential to become a medium for the transmission of foodborne diseases, especially due to bacterial contamination. According to Ministry of Health Regulation No. 14 of 2021, the bacterial count on dining utensils must not exceed 1.1 CFU/cm². This study aims to analyze the relationship between washing and storage methods of dining utensils and bacterial counts at food handling facilities (FHFs) in the working area of the Saigon Public Health Center (PHC), Pontianak Timur District. The study was conducted as an observational cross-sectional study involving 30 FHP selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected through observation using a checklist and bacterial counts were measured using bacteriological testing with the Total Plate Count (TPC) method. The data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test at a 95% significance level. The results showed that 53% of respondents had good washing practices, while 47% had poor practices; similarly, 50% of respondents had good storage practices, and 50% had poor practices. Bacterial counts on dining utensils were high in 50% of samples and low in 50%. Statistical tests showed no association between washing practices and bacterial counts (p = 0.066), but there was a significant association between storage practices and bacterial counts (p = 0.027). These findings indicate that improper storage practices of dining utensils can increase the risk of microbiological contamination. It is recommended that TPP managers improve the hygiene of dining utensils, and that health departments strengthen routine supervision and education to prevent foodborne illnesses. These findings highlight the importance of systematic interventions in the form of technical training and regular guidance for food managers on standard procedures for hygienic storage of dining utensils. This includes proper arrangement of utensils (e.g., plates upside down), use of closed rust-proof racks, and maintenance of drawers and storage areas to prevent them from becoming breeding grounds for cockroaches, rats, or other disease vectors. Additionally, health departments should strengthen regular monitoring and develop risk-based education programs tailored to on-site resource capacities. With the implementation of these measures, it is hoped that the incidence of foodborne illnesses can be significantly reduced, alongside increased awareness and compliance with hygiene and sanitation principles in food management environments. Keywords: Bacterial Count, Dining Utensils, Washing Methods, Storage Methods.

Abstract

Dengue fever carries a risk of developing dengue shock syndrome, which can be fatal if not diagnosed and treated promptly. In addition to taking a medical history and performing a physical examination, laboratory tests are required. Laboratory tests that can be conducted include dengue NS1 testing, dengue IgG and IgM testing, and platelet count and platelet index measurements. This study aims to determine the correlation between NS1 and dengue IgG IgM test results and total platelet count and platelet indices (MPV, PDW, P-LCR, and PCT) in patients with dengue fever. This study is a correlational study using a cross-sectional analytical approach, employing purposive sampling techniques, and obtained 40 samples that met the study criteria. The study was conducted at the Clinical Pathology Laboratory of Hasanuddin University Hospital in Makassar from December 1, 2024, to February 28, 2025. The results of the study showed that there was a significant correlation between dengue IgG test results and total platelet count (p=0.032, p<0.05) and PDW (p=0.031, p<0.05), while there was no significant correlation with PCT test results (p=0.788, p>0.05). For dengue IgM and NS1 dengue test results, no significant correlation was found with total platelet count (p=0.565, p=0.624, p>0.05), PDW (p=0.728, p=0.188, p>0.05), and PCT (p=0.841, p=0.454 (p > 0.05). The results of MPV and P-LCR tests showed consistent results, so no statistical analysis was performed. It was concluded that total platelet count and platelet index PDW could serve as potential laboratory biomarkers for screening, diagnosis, and monitoring of dengue-infected patients based on dengue IgG test results.

Abstract

Hypertension in pregnancy is a condition of high blood pressure that occurs during pregnancy or is caused by pregnancy itself, and generally occurs after 20 weeks of gestation. This condition is one of the most common complications of pregnancy, with a prevalence of around 5–15%. The mother's readiness for pregnancy, nutritional behavior, and preventive behavior are considered very important in helping to reduce maternal and infant mortality rates, one of which is by maintaining a pregnancy without hypertension. This study aims to analyze pregnancy readiness, nutritional behavior, and preventive behavior in relation to the occurrence of pregnancy-induced hypertension. The research method used an observational analytical approach with a cross-sectional study design. The sample consisted of 71 pregnant women selected through accidental sampling. The research instruments used questionnaires and a sphygmomanometer, and the collected data were analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation test. The results showed that pregnancy readiness was associated with the occurrence of pregnancy-induced hypertension, with a p-value of 0.039 and a correlation coefficient of -0.246, while nutritional behavior and the occurrence of pregnancy-induced hypertension showed a p-value of 0.010 and a correlation coefficient of -0.306, and preventive behavior and the occurrence of pregnancy-induced hypertension showed a p-value of 0.046 and a correlation coefficient of -0.238. The conclusion of this study is that there is an influence of pregnancy readiness on the occurrence of pregnancy-induced hypertension, there is an influence of nutritional behavior on the occurrence of pregnancy-induced hypertension, and there is an influence of preventive behavior on the occurrence of pregnancy-induced hypertension. Keywords: Hypertension; Pregnancy; Nutrition; Prevention; Behavior.

Abstract

Sepsis is a medical emergency with a high mortality rate worldwide. Identifying risk factors for sepsis is crucial to optimizing outcomes for sepsis patients in the emergency department (ED). This systematic review aims to identify risk factors for mortality in sepsis patients in the ED. Literature search strategies were conducted using the PubMed, ProQuest, and ScienceDirect databases with a combination of keywords including “Risk factor,” “Sepsis,” “Mortality,” and “Emergency Department,” utilizing Boolean operators. This review follows the PRISMA protocol and includes English-language articles published between 2019 and 2024. Inclusion criteria include quantitative research articles (cohort studies, case-control studies, or cross-sectional studies), studies evaluating mortality risk factors in sepsis patients in the ED, and a minimum sample size of 50 patients. Exclusion criteria included qualitative studies, systematic reviews, narrative reviews, meta-analyses, articles without complete data, settings outside the ED, and studies that did not analyze mortality risk factors. Of the 23,917 articles identified, nine met the criteria and were assessed for eligibility using the JBI and analyzed narratively. The review of nine studies (seven cohort studies, one case-control study, and one cross-sectional study) found that most studies indicated that lactate levels ≥2 mmol/L (67%) and SOFA scores ≥2 (56%) were strong predictors of mortality. Other contributing factors included advanced age, gender, and comorbidities. These findings suggest that measuring lactate and SOFA biomarkers during triage in the ED has the potential to improve early detection and prompt intervention, such as fluid resuscitation and antibiotic administration within the golden hour, for high-risk sepsis patients.

Abstract

The cosmetics industry is growing rapidly in line with increasing public awareness of the importance of skin care and optimal appearance. Cosmetic products not only serve an aesthetic purpose but also protect the skin from external factors such as UV rays, aging, and pollution. Although many studies have discussed the advantages of microencapsulation, few have analyzed its application in finished cosmetic products. Therefore, this study aims to provide a deeper understanding of the application of microencapsulation in enhancing the stability and efficacy of active ingredients in cosmetic products. This review employs a literature review method based on nine selected scientific articles from national and international journals. Literature searches were conducted using PubMed and Google Scholar with keywords related to microencapsulation in cosmetic products. The results of the study indicate that microencapsulation can enhance the stability of active ingredients, protect them from degradation caused by environmental factors, and enable controlled release of active ingredients. Cosmetic products such as sunscreen gel, face cream, and blush have been successfully developed using microencapsulation technology. Additionally, microencapsulation improves user comfort by reducing unwanted odors or colors and minimizing the risk of skin irritation. This review also identifies technical limitations in microencapsulation methods and provides recommendations for further research to improve the application of this technology in the cosmetics industry for greater efficiency and sustainability. In conclusion, microencapsulation is an effective solution for enhancing stability, efficacy of active ingredients, and user experience quality in cosmetics. Keywords: Cosmetic applications, efficacy, microencapsulated cosmetics, microencapsulation methods, stability

Abstract

Jackfruit seeds are one of the organic wastes that have not been optimally utilized, even though they have high nutritional content, especially carbohydrates. This composition makes jackfruit seeds a potential alternative medium for supporting fungal growth. The alternative medium made from jackfruit seeds is produced by processing the seed extract into a natural growing medium. The objective of this study was to evaluate the growth of Aspergillus sp fungi on an alternative medium made from jackfruit seed extract. The study was conducted using observational and experimental methods in a laboratory, comparing the growth of Aspergillus sp colonies at three media concentrations: 20%, 40%, and 60%. The research was carried out at the Microbiology Laboratory, Department of Medical Laboratory Technology, Poltekkes Kemenkes Makassar in April 2024. Jackfruit seed extract was used as the main medium for fungal growth. The results showed that the average colony diameter of Aspergillus flavus over five consecutive days on jackfruit seed extract medium at a concentration of 20% was 33.7 mm, 40% was 33.9 mm, and 60% was 41.7 mm. A concentration of 60% was found to be the most effective medium for fungal growth. Further research is recommended to explore other concentrations, use jackfruit seed decoction, and eliminate the addition of dextrose in the medium composition. Keywords: Aspergillus sp, jackfruit seeds, alternative medium

Abstract

The widespread use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in modern agriculture has significantly increased crop yields. However, growing concerns about the potential health implications of these agricultural chemicals have prompted extensive research. This systematic review aims to investigate the extent to which exposure to these substances during pregnancy and breastfeeding can contaminate breast milk. We aim to assess the potential adverse effects of pesticide and fertilizer exposure in breast milk on infant health and development, focusing on contaminant prevalence, potential health risks, and the effectiveness of interventions to reduce exposure. This systematic review was conducted using the online databases PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, covering the period from 2017 to 2024. Medical Subject Headings (MESH) and target keywords such as “Pesticides,” “Chemical Fertilizers,” “Breast Milk,” “Contamination,” “Maternal Health,” “Infant Health,” and “Stunting” were used in the search. All English-language publications were reviewed and included. This review included intervention studies such as randomized clinical trials and quasi-experimental studies. The search yielded 130 studies, and after screening, 10 studies were included in this review. The studies consistently showed pesticide exposure in breast milk, particularly in areas of intensive agriculture. A study in Latin America found that 100% of breast milk samples contained residues of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT). Research in Mexico reported that 76% of breast milk samples contained pesticide derivatives. A study in Saudi Arabia detected 16 types of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs). In Indonesia, all breast milk samples from female farmers contained p,p'-DDE residues above 0.001 mg/kg. All articles included in this review are observational studies, specifically cross-sectional and case-control studies, investigating the presence of pesticides and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in breast milk. Various studies consistently show pesticide contamination in breast milk, raising serious concerns about its impact on infant health from an early age. Pesticide exposure through breast milk can have negative effects on growth and development, particularly on the nervous, endocrine, and reproductive systems. In Indonesia, pesticide exposure in agricultural environments has been identified as a significant risk factor for stunting in children.

Abstract

As the elderly population grows, life expectancy increases. This poses significant challenges to their health, particularly in maintaining immune and digestive function. Zinc and synbiotics (a combination of probiotics and prebiotics) are two promising nutritional interventions for supporting the health of the elderly. This article reviews the effects of zinc and synbiotics, as well as their combination, on elderly health, with a primary focus on immune response, sarcopenia, and fatigue. Based on a systematic review of literature from PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, 600 articles were narrowed down to 10 selected articles (2017–2024) specifically involving randomized controlled trials, using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool and the PRISMA algorithm. The findings indicate that zinc supplementation has the potential to enhance the immune system and reduce inflammation, contributing to improved quality of life for the elderly. Meanwhile, synbiotics have been proven effective in improving gut health, addressing microbiota dysbiosis commonly found in the elderly, and enhancing gut microbiota balance that supports immune function. Zinc helps improve immune function and brain function, while synbiotics improve digestive health and reduce inflammation. When combined, both provide stronger and complementary effects in maintaining overall health in the elderly. Further research with stronger designs is needed to validate the benefits of both, and clinical recommendations for nutritional interventions in the elderly can be expanded based on these findings. Keywords: zinc, synbiotics, elderly, immune response
