Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) control is hampered by suboptimal case detection and treatment delays. Pharmacies are reported as a first-aid treatment for patients with TB. Therefore, researchers analyzed knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding TB case detection among community pharmacists, aiming to find innovative strategies to involve community pharmacists in TB case detection. The research aims to determine the level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices, and the relationship between knowledge and attitude, knowledge-practice, and attitude-practice of community pharmacists in detecting tuberculosis cases in West Java Province. This research uses a descriptive observational method with 419 pharmacists who practice pharmacies. The results showed that pharmacists had a sufficient level of knowledge (14.94 ± 1.99), an adequate level of attitude (63.58 ± 9.12), and a sufficient level of practice (20.58 ± 8.55) regarding TB case detection. There is a very low relationship between knowledge and attitude (p-value 0.024<0.05), knowledge and practice ( p-value 0.018>0.05), and attitude and practice ( p-value 0.000< 0.05). This study concluded that community pharmacists in West Java Province have sufficient knowledge, attitudes, and practices in detecting TB cases, but the level of relationship between knowledge attitude and detecting TB cases, and the level of association between knowledge attitude and knowledge practice was very low, while the relationship between attitude practice was low.

Abstract

Lotion is a cosmetic preparation of an emollient group that contains a large amount of water. This formulation possesses several properties, namely, as a source of moisture for the skin, providing an oily layer that makes the hands and body soft. VCO is utilized as a natural skin moisturizer to prevent tissue damage and protect the skin. VCO has a very high moisture content, which prevents skin dryness. A lotion was formulated with an emulsifying agent to stabilize the emulsion system. One of the constituent ingredients of the lotion is cetyl alcohol, which functions as an emulsifying agent. Cetyl alcohol can be substituted by carrageenan, which serves the same function with the added benefit of being a humectant. The aim of this study was to identify the formulation of VCO lotion and to investigate the effect of different concentrations of the emulsifying agents cetyl alcohol and carrageen on physical evaluation tests, namely organoleptic tests, homogeneity tests, spreading tests, pH tests, adhesion tests, emulsion type tests, and viscosity tests in lotion formulations. An experimental method was employed in this study. The research was carried out by making lotions from various ingredients containing the active ingredient VCO at a concentration of 7%, as well as varying concentrations of cetyl alcohol (range 2-5%) and carrageenan (range 1-3%) as an emulsifying agent and additional ingredients for the preparations whose optimization had been determined using the simplex lattice design method ...

Abstract

The new method, known as nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) in drug delivery systems, has the potential to increase therapeutic efficacy, stability, and bioavailability. This systematic literature review aimed to provide a detailed summary of NLC technology in drug delivery systems, including routes of administration, preparation methods, characterization, and utilization for the delivery of anti-aging active ingredients in cosmetics. To collect scholarly articles on NLCs, we employed a systematic search method using Google Scholar and PubMed. After the screening process, 53 pertinent papers out of 102 articles were chosen for descriptive analysis. NLC exhibit significant promise in many drug delivery applications, including oral, topical, parenteral, and transmucosal routes, with many benefits, including improved bioavailability, stability, and drug penetration through the skin, cornea, and brain. Moreover, NLC technology has been effectively applied for the administration of drugs, including anti-aging drugs. Topical anti-aging preparations generally use synthetic or natural active ingredients. However, synthetic ingredients are often less stable and can irritate skin. NLC can protect and control the release of active ingredients, thereby reducing the risk of irritation. NLC can also improve the penetration of active ingredients into the deeper layers of the skin, allowing it to reach the dermis layer, which is responsible for most skin aging. The efficient absorption capacity of NLC technology in topical preparations presents new opportunities for anti-aging cosmetic product development owing to its effectiveness in skin penetration. Keywords: Nanostructured Lipid Carrier (NLC), drug delivery system, drug penetration, anti-aging
