Abstract

Background: Nugget products enhanced with locust flour are being explored as a novel source of functional food due to their high protein content, which plays a vital role in maintaining human health. Locusts, commonly consumed in parts of Africa and Asia, offer a promising alternative protein source. This study investigated the consumer acceptability of nuggets formulated with grasshopper flour as a nutrient-dense, functional food option. Methods: A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was employed, and data were analyzed using the Friedman Test to assess differences among treatments. If significant differences (p < 0.05) were found, further analysis was performed with the Wilcoxon Test through SPSS version 20. Organoleptic evaluation was carried out by 30 semi-trained panelists. The nugget formulations tested were: P1 (100% tapioca flour, 0% grasshopper flour), P2 (95% tapioca flour, 5% grasshopper flour), and P3 (85% tapioca flour, 15% grasshopper flour). Results: Findings indicated that P1 (without grasshopper flour) received the highest scores in terms of color and aroma. For texture, both P1 and P2 (5% grasshopper flour) were equally preferred. In terms of taste, P1 remained the most favored. Conclusion: Overall, nuggets without any addition of grasshopper flour (P1) achieved the highest level of acceptability across all sensory attributes.

Abstract

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) are significant obstetric conditions associated with heightened maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Globally, complications of preterm birth, particularly due to PPROM, account for 35% of neonatal deaths. The coexistence of GDM and PPROM compounds risks, exacerbating adverse neonatal outcomes. This report about a 21 years old primigravida at 32–34 weeks of gestation with untreated GDM and PPROM for over 12 hours. The patient presented with decreased fetal movement and was managed conservatively with corticosteroids, antibiotics, and tocolytics. However, signs of fetal distress necessitated cesarean delivery, resulting in the birth of a male neonate 2370 g, APGAR 2/3, with asphyxia, respiratory distress, and hypoglycemia. Postnatal complications included jaundice and neonatal sepsis, which required 22 days of intensive NICU care with respiratory support, dextrose infusion, and antibiotics. The neonate showed gradual improvement. The coexistence of GDM and PPROM significantly increases the risk of adverse neonatal outcomes such as respiratory distress, hypoglycemia, jaundice, and sepsis. Early diagnosis, glycemic control, prophylactic antibiotics, and administration of corticosteroids are critical to improving maternal and neonatal outcomes. This case underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach and further research to refine best practices in managing GDM complicated by PPROM.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is a persistent malnutrition issue caused by prolonged inadequate nutritional intake. The results of the preliminary study that was conducted found low stunting prevention behavior in infants aged 0-6 months in Jaddih Village. The objective of the research was to evaluate the efficiency of the Emo-Demo method in improve knowledge and skills in stunting prevention behavior. Methods: The research design was quasi-experimental. The independent variables was health education with the Emo-Demo method, and the dependent variables were knowledge, skills, and behavior. This study used questionnaires and statistical tests including the Wilcoxon test, paired sample t-test, independent t-test, Spearman Rank, and linear regression. Results: The Wilcoxon test obtained p=0.000<0.05, indicating a difference in knowledge before and after the Emo-Demo intervention. The paired sample t-test obtained p=0.000<0.05, indicating a difference in knowledge before and after the lecture intervention. A p-value of 0.000<0.05 was found, indicating a difference in skills before and after the Emo-Demo intervention. However, p = 0.083 > 0.05 indicated no significant difference in skills before and after the lecture intervention. The independent t-test showed significant differences in knowledge (p = 0.022) and skills (p = 0.021) between treatment and control groups. Spearman Rank analysis revealed significant correlations between knowledge and behavior (p = 0.047, r = 0.354), and between skills and behavior (p = 0.004, r = 0.494). Combined, knowledge and skills significantly influenced behavior (p = 0.046). Conclusion: The Emo Demo method is effective and efficient in increasing knowledge, skills and behavior related to stunting prevention care. Health workers and service facility staff are expected to help reduce stunting prevalence by promoting maternal preventive behaviors for infants aged 0-6 months through health education using the Emo-Demo method.

Abstract

Background: Malaria continues to pose a major public health threat globally, affecting millions and causing numerous fatalities annually. This research consolidates findings on private sector healthcare involvement in combating and preventing malaria across different nations. Methodology: A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines, extracting relevant studies from PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane, and Semantic Scholar databases. Selection criteria included observational or interventional research examining private healthcare's role in malaria prevention, published in English between 2015-2024. Analysis was supported by NotebookLM. Results: The review identified 24 qualifying studies. Private healthcare providers, including clinics and pharmacies, contribute to malaria management through diagnosis, rapid testing, and treatment advice globally. Though these entities possess some malaria-related knowledge, it remains incomplete. Case reporting and surveillance participation exists among private providers but remains restricted to few facilities. Conclusions: Enhanced frameworks and regulations are essential to strengthen public-private partnerships and expand private sector engagement in malaria diagnosis, treatment, and advisory services. Implementation strategies should be tailored to each country's specific context and malaria epidemiology.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the infectious diseases that has become a global health challenge, including in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the TB control program at the Kedaton Health Center, Bandar Lampung City, using the Input-Process-Output approach. Methods: The data used consisted of primary data, such as in-depth interviews and observations, as well as secondary data from the TB program achievement report for the last three years (2022–2024). Results: The results of the analysis show significant fluctuations in the achievement of the target, with case detection coverage decreasing from 91.76% in 2023 to 40.78% in 2024. The main inhibiting factors include limited human resources, low public awareness, lack of supporting facilities, and suboptimal program management structure. Health workers who concurrently work and the number of tracking cadres is minimal, reducing the effectiveness of case tracking. In addition, social stigma against TB is an obstacle in early detection and treatment. Conclusion: To overcome this obstacle, it is recommended to strengthen human resources, optimize facilities such as transportation and diagnostic tools, and improve public education through a community-based approach. The implementation of this strategy is expected to increase the effectiveness of the TB program at the Kedaton Health Center, support the achievement of national targets, and contribute to global efforts to reduce the burden of TB disease.
