Abstract

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious condition caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This virus has undergone mutations, leading to new variants that have contributed to the increase in COVID-19 cases. Governments have initiated vaccination efforts as part of their strategies to curb the spread, particularly among healthcare workers. However, concerns have arisen regarding the occurrence of post-vaccination side effects. The objective of this study is to identify and categorize the side effects that arise after administering the COVID-19 (booster) vaccine, specifically the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine®. The study employs a cross-sectional approach, collecting data through interviews and questionnaire completion among medical staff at Puskesmas Santong in April 2023. The study's findings reveal that out of 69 respondents, 94.2% experienced side effects following vaccination, while 5.8% did not encounter any. The majority of these side effects fall into the "probable" category (69.6%) according to the Naranjo Scale Algorithm. Common systemic side effects include fever (60.9%), dizziness (43.5%), fatigue (33.3%), muscle aches (31.9%), joint pain (13%), chills (11.6%), headache (10.1%), nausea (4.3%), runny nose (1.4%), and sneezing (1.4%). Local side effects, such as injection site pain, were reported by 34.8% of the respondents. The majority of these side effects persisted for 2 days (42%).

Abstract

Gastritis is inflammation of the gastric mucosa, one of which is caused by the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It is very common that NSAIDs are used to treat pain, fever, and inflammatory processes. This study aims to examine the relationship between the incidence of gastritis and a history of NSAIDs use. The research method use in this study is a retrospective cohort design of which the data is collected through interview of patients and their families. The patients medical records at the Mataram City Regional Hospital was also collected. Testing was carried out using the Pearson Correlation test. The result shows that gastritis patients were dominated by people aged 36-55 years (46.43%) and 49 of them were female (58.33%). The Pearson Correlation test shows no significant relationship between the incidence of gastritis and a history of NSAID use, with a p-value> 0.05 and an r-value < 1. This indicates a weak relationship between gastritis and the use of NSAIDs. Therefore, the history of NSAIDs use is insignificant as the main reason for gastritis. Gastritis can also be caused by other factors such as age, lifestyle, and stress levels.

Abstract

Cesarean section (C-section) is a delivery method involving surgical incisions on the abdomen and uterus. C-section carries the risk of postoperative complications such as surgical site infection (SSI). Hence, there is a need for prophylactic antibiotic administration. Prophylactic antibiotics are used to prevent infection complications resulting from surgery and are administered before, during, and after the operation. The selection of antibiotics is crucial because inappropriate antibiotic use can lead to resistance. This research aims to analyze the usage profile and evaluate the rationality of prophylactic antibiotics in C-section procedures at Wira Bhakti Hospital. This study is a non-experimental descriptive research in which retrospective data collection was conducted in the form of medical records of C-section patients. Also, the rationality assessment was performed using the Gyssens method. The research findings show that the most used antibiotics are ceftriaxone (70.6%), cefotaxime (25%), and cefoperazone (4.4%). Meanwhile, the rationality assessment using Gyssens' method shows that all prophylactic antibiotic use falls under the categories of IVA (more effective alternative) and IVD (narrower spectrum alternative).

Abstract

The prevalence of diarrhea is widespread in developing countries and is a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality. This article presents a profile of medication use in the management of diarrhea based on age groups. The study utilized a quantitative approach by analyzing 123 prescriptions from diarrhea patients at the Military Academy Health Clinic in Magelang during 2021. Data were analyzed using frequency distribution tabulations with Microsoft Excel 2016. The results indicate that antidiarrheal prescriptions are age-adjusted, probiotics are the primary choice for infants and children, while loperamide is recommended for adolescents to the elderly. Adsorbents serve as an alternative across all age groups. Management of older patients also considers prognosis and accompanying symptoms, which includes antibiotics, antiulcer medications, and antispasmodics. Supportive therapies such as zinc supplementation and oral rehydration are applied across all age categories.

Abstract

Indonesian people have traditionally utilized various local plants as alternative food sources. These plants are widely available and have considerable nutritional value; however, some of them are known to contain toxic compounds such as cyanide (HCN), which can be harmful to human health if not properly processed. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the presence of cyanide compounds in several of these commonly consumed plants. The research was conducted using a qualitative test based on the picrate method. The samples tested included cassava, cassava leaves, bamboo shoots, gadung tubers, and taro tubers. The findings indicated that all tested samples showed positive results for the presence of cyanide, as evidenced by the observed color change from yellow to reddish-brown. In conclusion, all five types of plant samples tested contained cyanide, emphasizing the importance of proper processing techniques to reduce toxicity levels before consumption by the public.

Abstract

Ethnomedicinal plants that have been proven as analgesics are moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera L.) and papaya leaves (Carica papaya L.). The purpose of this study is to determine the analgesic activity of a combination of papaya and moringa leaf extracts. Analgesic testing used the writhing method. A total of 25 mice were grouped into 5 treatment groups, namely negative control (CMC Na 1%), positive control (mefenamic acid 500mg/70kgBW), group I (moringa leaf extract 400mg/kgBW), group II (papaya leaf extract 600mg/kgBW), and group III (combination of moringa leaf extract 200mg/kgBW and papaya leaf extract 300mg/kgBW). The results of the study were obtained using the formula for calculating the percentage of analgesic power and tested using the Post Hoc test and the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test. Based on the analysis, a significant difference was obtained between the treatment group and the negative control. The highest percentage of analgesic effect was obtained from group III, the combination of moringa leaf extract and papaya leaf extract at 56.4%. This result is equivalent to the positive control, with the administration of mefenamic acid.

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) not only impacts physiological aspects but also reduces the patient's quality of life. Assessment of the quality of life is important as an indicator of the success of therapy and disease management. This study aims to determine the validity and reliability of the Indonesian version of the Short Form-36 questionnaire in measuring the quality of life of CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis. This study used a descriptive cross-sectional design with a prospective approach. Data were collected by completing the Short Form-36 questionnaire by CKD patients undergoing outpatient care at RSUD Mataram. Validity analysis was performed using Pearson correlation, while reliability was tested with Cronbach's alpha. The number of respondents was 30 patients. The results showed that the Short Form-36 questionnaire had a Pearson correlation value > 0.40 and a Cronbach's alpha value > 0.70, indicating that this instrument is valid and reliable. Thus, the Indonesian version of the Short Form-36 questionnaire can be used to assess the quality of life of CKD patients.
