Abstract

The vaping phenomenon among Generation Z (Gen Z) women has increased in popularity as an alternative to traditional cigarettes. As a group that has grown up in the digital era, they have easier access to information via the internet and social media, which has influenced their lifestyles and choices, including when it comes to smoking and vaping. The aim of this study was to understand how the vaping phenomenon affects Gen Z women. To address this question, our research provides an overview of the vaping-related phenomena occurring among Gen Z women. We conducted a literature review of eight publications covering five years, 20192024. The data indicated phenomena such as an increase in the number of vape users among women and an increase in aggressive vape advertising. Our study also explored the factors that lead to this phenomenon occurring and how the surrounding environment plays a very large role in this issue. Data suggested that the increase in vaping among Gen Z women is primarily due to environmental and peer influence factors. Therefore, to have better prevention and intervention strategies, peer influence should be taken into account.

Abstract

Lumbar spondylosis is a very common complaint of severe low back pain (LBP) or lumbar disc herniation and patients often diagnosed by using radiological examination. Lumbar spondylosis is a degenerative process of the spine, but it can also result from various factors. It is often misdiagnosed as a degenerative process because it only involves the corpus vertebra, intervertebral disc, and osteoporosis of the spine. However, many other causes can lead to inappropriate treatment plans. The X-ray is believed to be a helpful tool in the initial imaging test of lumbar spondylosis diagnosis. However, further imaging tests with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scan are highly recommended. This should be noted by physicians working in rural primary and secondary healthcare facilities who might only have the X-ray to make a diagnosis of lumbar spondylosis. This article reviewed published articles on comparing X-ray, CT scan, and MRI diagnosis data of patients with lumbar spondylosis. The analysis provides insight into the role of X-ray in diagnosing lumbar spondylosis.

Abstract

Soft palate tumors can be categorized as benign or malignant, with malignant tumors being more common than benign ones. Up to 55% of intraoral tumors are found on the palate; thus, they are known as palatal tumors. Many causative or supporting factors may contribute to the development of palatal tumors, such as the long-term use of tobacco and alcohol. A final diagnosis of a palatal tumor is typically achieved through histological examination. This paper aims to present a case involving a patient diagnosed with palatal fibrosarcoma. The patient, a 39-year-old woman, was diagnosed with palatal fibrosarcoma and underwent treatment consisting of Mass Extirpation and Palatoplasty. Relevant evidence and literature were gathered through searches conducted on PubMed, Medline, and manual research. In this specific case, the surgical approach to excise the palatal tumor was determined based on factors such as its size and location. The diagnosis is based on a combination of the patient's medical history, physical examination, and further clinical assessment. Treatment for palatal tumors primarily involves surgery aimedat completely removing the tumor tissue.

Abstract

Skin aging is a natural process that manifests prominently in facial skin. Key indicators of facial skin aging include sagging skin, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and decreased hydration. Understanding these signs is crucial for both clinical and cosmetic applications. This review focuses on the skin microbiome, with a particular emphasis on Staphylococcus hominis, a commensal bacterium that plays a significant role in the skin aging process. The objective of this article is to consolidate scientific evidence from various studies to elucidate the relationship between the skin microbiome, especially S. hominis, and the manifestations of skin aging. Through this comprehensive review, we aim to provide insights into the potential of targeting the skin microbiome for anti-aging interventions and enhance our understanding of the complex interactions between skin health and its microbial inhabitants.

Abstract

Chromolaena odorata L. is a widely used traditional herbal medicine known for its medicinal usage throughout the world. It has been used by the community for its anti-cancer, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, anti-diabetic, and anti-diarrheal, and it also plays a role in hemostasis and wound healing. This study aims to analyze the chemical compounds of C. odorata leaves from Indonesia and to determine the gel stability of its ethanol extract. In this study, C. odorata leaves were collected from Lamkawe Village, Darul Imarah District, Aceh Besar Regency, Aceh, Indonesia. The extraction process was conducted using the maceration method. The active chemical compounds of the ethanol extract of C. odorata leaves were analyzed through phytochemical screening and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. The results of the phytochemical screening indicated it contained terpenoids, saponins, flavonoids and phenolics. The most abundant secondary compounds identified were glycidyl palmitate (17.02%), n-9-octadecenoic acid (Z) (15.68%), hexadecanoic acid and l-(+)-ascorbic acid 2,6-dihexadecanoate (12.19%) and 16-hentriacontanone. The 7.5% ethanol extract of C. odorata leaves showed good stability.
