Abstract

Toxoplasmosis is a disease transmitted from animals to humans, caused by the protozoan parasiteToxoplasma gondii. The Toxoplasma gondii parasite has infected more than 60% of the world's population and2-51% in Indonesia. Women of childbearing age (15-45 years) are one of the risk groups for the transmission of infection by the Toxoplasma gondii parasite. A person's knowledge is influenced by various factors such as level of education, information, environment and culture. The purpose of this study was to compare the level of knowledge on prevention of toxoplasmosis in women of childbearing age in Lhokseumawe City. This research is a type of descriptive analytic research with a cross-sectional time approach. Samples were taken using a purposive sampling technique from women of childbearing age in Uteunkot Village and Kuala Meuraksa Village. The sample size was determined using the Snedecor & Cochran formula and the minimum sample size was 62 respondents in Uteunkot Village and 62 respondents in Kuala Meuraksa Village. The results of this study indicate that the majority of respondents in Uteunkot Village have a less knowledge level of 43.5% and the majority of respondents in Kuala Meuraksa Village also have a less knowledge level of 85.5%. Data analysis used the Mann-Whitney test. The results of statistical analysis showed a p value <0.05. The conclusion of this study is that there are differences in knowledge of toxoplasmosis prevention in women of childbearing age in rural villages and urban villages.

Abstract

The availability of human resources (HR) in hospitals is a key factor in ensuring quality healthcare services. A type C general hospital in Medan faces challenges in terms of limited health personnel in several service units. The Workload Indicators of Staffing Need (WISN) method by WHO is applied to calculate staffing requirements based on actual workload. This study aimed to analyze the workload and HR needs of a type C general hospital in Medan using the WISN method. A quantitative descriptive study with a WISN approach. Data were obtained from hospital management reports including patient visits, bed occupancy rate (BOR), and staff distribution across main units. Analysis was carried out by calculating available working time, workload standards, allowance standards, and HR needs per unit. The analysis indicated shortages of personnel in several units: inpatient nurses (−20), anesthetists (−2), pharmacists (−1), laboratory analysts (−5), radiographers (−5), and medical records staff (−6). Some units had surplus staff, such as maternity (+8). The type C general hospital in Medan continues to face HR shortages in critical service units. Workload-based HR planning using the WISN method is crucial to support effective recruitment and staff redistribution.

Abstract

Background: Dental caries is a major problem in orodental health, especially in children. The primary cause of caries is the activity of cariogenic microorganisms. Unbalanced remineralization of dental tissue followed by destruction of organic matters may cause cumulative and progressive damage to the tooth structure. Extensive caries lesions that have reached the pulp are an indication for pulp therapy with appropriate crown restoration. Case Report: A 10-year-old boy came with a complaint of a painful cavity in his upper right front tooth. The patient was considered communicative and cooperative. The patient also had a habit of consuming sweets. An intraoral examination revealed extensive caries on the entire surface of 53. A periapical radiograph showed a radiolucent area reaching the pulp cavity on the occlusal surface of 53 with resorption of the apical one-third of the root. Based on the examination results, reversible pulpitis was established as the primary diagnosis. The treatment plan was pulpotomy with a dental crown restoration. Treatment was carried out over four visits. First visit included complete examination, periapical radiography, and pulpotomy. The second visit included core buildup, tooth preparation, and dental impressions. The third visit included try-in and crown insertion, followed by a final follow-up visit. Conclusion: Pulpotomy with dental crown restoration can be an effective clinical approach to restore the function and aesthetics of anterior deciduous teeth, especially in cases that consider aesthetics and cost limitations.

Abstract

Electrolytes are essential minerals that play a critical role in various physiological processes within the body, including the maintenance of fluid balance, proper neuromuscular function, and the transmission of nerve impulses. They are vital for the stability of the heart and other crucial organs. When electrolyte levels become imbalanced, as seen in conditions such as hyponatremia (low sodium), hypernatremia (high sodium), hypokalemia (low potassium), hyperkalemia (high potassium), and hypocalcemia (low calcium), serious health issues can arise. These imbalances can result from factors like malnutrition, excessive losses through the kidneys or gastrointestinal tract, hormonal disorders, and certain systemic diseases. Understanding the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and clinical manifestations of these disturbances is essential for effective diagnosis and treatment. Healthcare providers must identify the root causes of electrolyte imbalances while assessing their severity to implement appropriate management strategies. This often involves gradually correcting electrolyte levels to mitigate the risk of life-threatening complications such as arrhythmias, cerebral edema, and neurological impairment. By fostering a comprehensive understanding of electrolyte imbalances, healthcare professionals can improve diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic effectiveness, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes. This knowledge is crucial in minimizing morbidity and mortality associated with these disruptive conditions, ensuring that individuals receive prompt and effective care to restore balance and maintain overall health.

Abstract

Diuretic resistance is a serious complication in heart failure patients associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Tolvaptan, a vasopressin V2 receptor antagonist, offers an alternative therapeutic mechanism through aquaresis. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of tolvaptan in heart failure patients with diuretic resistance. A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 58 hospitalized patients with NYHA III-IV heart failure and diuretic resistance (urine output <1000 mL/day despite furosemide use ≥80 mg/day) who received tolvaptan 7.5-15 mg/day for 7 days. Variables measured included weight change, urine output, serum sodium, and kidney function. The results showed a significant increase in daily urine output from 820±230 mL to 2180±520 mL (p<0.001), along with an average weight loss of 3.4±1.1 kg (p<0.001). Hypernatremia (>145 mEq/L) occurred in 8.6% of patients. In conclusion, tolvaptan is effective in improving diuresis and reducing congestion in heart failure patients with diuretic resistance, although the risk of hypernatremia should be monitored.

Abstract

Background: Pentol is a round-shaped snack that is popular with elemtary school children with a savory taste, affordable price, and easy to find in the school environment. However, uncontrolled consumption of pentol raises concerns about fat and sodium chloride (NaCl) content. Objective: This study aims to determine the levels of fat and NaCl contained in pentol snacks sold at Tondo Urban Village Elementary School, PaluCity. Method: This study used a Complate Random Design (RAL) on five pentol samples in five elementary school in Tondo Village, with two repetitions. Fat content was analyzed by the Soxhlet method, While sodium chloride (NaCl) content was analyzed by Mohr titration. The data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Findings: The fat content in five pentol sampels at Tondo Urban Village Elementary School ranged from 2,16-4,75% (maximum SNI limit of 10%), while sodium chloride content was 1,55-2,15% (maximum SNI limit of 2,5%). Statistical tests (p=0,4>0.05) showed no significant difference between samples. Although still below the SNI limit, the fat and sodium content is quite high for school children’s snacks. Conclusion: The fat and NaCl content of pentol sancks at Tondo Urban Village Elementary School, Palu City is still below the SNI limit, but the consumption of these snacks need to be limited. Implications: it is hoped that there will be further researchers who analyzed carbhohydrates, proteins and other additives such as preservatives in pentol snacks.

Abstract

Suboptimal breast milk production during postpartum is a reason for formula feeding, thus preventing exclusive breastfeeding targets. According to the WHO, the global coverage of exclusive breastfeeding should reach 68% by 2023. Non-pharmacological efforts can be implemented by administering moringa leaf tea, which contains flavonoids, phytosterols, alkaloids, saponins, and tannins, which function as lactogogues to stimulate the hormones prolactin and oxytocin. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of administering moringa leaf tea to breastfeeding mothers at the Fitriatul Laili Rejoagung Banyuwangi TPMB in 2025 on their ability to increase breast milk production. This study involved 30 postpartum mothers: 15 in the intervention group and 15 in the control group. The study used a two-group quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design. Five grams of moringa leaf tea, 200 milliliters daily for seven days, was administered to the intervention group. The control group received normal postpartum care. The sampling method used was sequential sampling. Ten breast milk production indices were used as instruments. A t-test was used for data analysis. This study has been ethically reviewed. According to the findings, the average breast milk production in the intervention group increased from 5.87 to 8.87, while in the control group it increased from 6.00 to 6.60. The intervention group's averages differed from the control group by 3.00 and 0.6, respectively. The p-value was 0.000, indicating that tea made from moringa leaves can increase breast milk production. Therefore, this tea is recommended as a natural substitute for breast milk production.

Abstract

Tooth extraction is a procedure to remove a tooth from its alveolar bone socket. The causes for tooth extraction include caries, periodontitis, fractures, impacted teeth, the need for orthodontic treatment, and persistent primary teeth. Post-extraction bleeding is the most common complication that occurs. Hemostasis is a mechanism to stop bleeding from blood vessels to prevent excessive blood loss when an injury occurs, ensuring that blood continues to flow smoothly. In stopping bleeding, there are three processes involved: vasoconstriction (the narrowing of blood vessels), platelet activity, and the activity of blood clotting factors. Bleeding time is the time interval from when blood exits the blood vessel until the bleeding stops. The normal range for bleeding time is 1 to 3 minutes. Balakacida leaves contain active compounds including alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, saponins, and phenolics. To determine the effect of Balakacida leaf extract (Chromolaena odorata) as a hemostatic agent following tooth extraction in Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus). This study uses an experimental method with a Post-Test Only Control Group Design. The samples used in this research are male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus), aged 2–3 months, weighing between 200–250 grams. The research data were processed and analyzed using the One-Way ANOVA test. The results showed that treatments at concentrations of 10%, 20%, and 30% were able to significantly accelerate bleeding time compared to the control group. The administration of Balakacida leaf extract is effective as a hemostatic agent following tooth extraction in Wistar rats.

Abstract

Stroke is a major cause of long-term disability and frequently results in balance impairment that limits functional mobility and increases the risk of falls. Impaired trunk control and postural instability are common consequences of stroke, highlighting the need for effective rehabilitation strategies. This study aimed to analyze the effect of Core Stability Exercise on balance improvement in stroke patients undergoing rehabilitation at the Medical Rehabilitation Polyclinic of RS Adhyaksa Jakarta. A case study design with a pretest–posttest approach was applied to three patients with ischemic stroke who presented with balance disorders. The intervention consisted of Core Stability Exercise, including bridging, bird-dog exercise, and seated balance exercise, conducted three times per week for eight sessions. Balance performance was measured using the Berg Balance Scale before and after the intervention. The findings demonstrated a consistent increase in Berg Balance Scale scores in all patients, indicating improvements in static and dynamic balance as well as a reduction in fall risk. Patients with better initial motor control showed faster and greater improvement, although positive changes were also observed in patients with more severe impairments. These results suggest that Core Stability Exercise contributes to enhanced trunk stability, postural control, and functional balance in stroke patients. The study implies that integrating Core Stability Exercise into routine physiotherapy programs may support more comprehensive and individualized stroke rehabilitation, particularly in addressing balance-related functional limitations.

Abstract

In Indonesia, mental health issues among adolescents are prevalent. Mental health of both victims and offenders is affected by bullying, and it could lead to ongoing mental health issues such as worry and sadness. The objective of this study is to investigate the connection between bullying and teenage mental health in SMP Negeri 2 Blang Bintang. The study was implemented from June 17 to June 19, 2025, using a cross-sectional design and a quantitative research methodology. A sample of 60 teenagers was chosen via proportional random sampling from the total population of 151 adolescents.The General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ 12) and the Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire (OBVQ) were the research tools utilized. The chi-squared test was used to evaluate the data. The findings revealed that out of 54 victims of bullying, the majority (48 individuals or 88.9%) had impaired mental health. Conversely, among 6 non-victims, most (5 individuals or 83.3%) did not have impaired mental health. The chi-square test indicated p = 0.001, meaning bullying victims and mental health are significantly correlated.. Additionally, among 49 bullying perpetrators, most (46 individuals or 93.9%) had impaired mental health, while among 11 non-perpetrators, most (8 individuals or 72.7%) did not have impaired mental health. The chi-square test also showed p = 0.001, indicating a strong correlation between the mental health of bullies and their behavior. The researchers recommend the importance of maintaining mental health and collaborating across various sectors to reduce bullying behavior.
