Abstract

Background: Coumarin is a natural compound found in various plants, including Cinnamomum cassia and Cinnamomum zeylanicum, and has been widely studied for its potential role in metabolic regulation, particularly in diabetes mellitus type 2. While coumarin has shown potential benefits in improving glycemic control, concerns regarding its hepatotoxic and carcinogenic effects remain. Purpose: To review the literature on how coumarin works in insulin resistance in people with type 2 diabetes. Method: A literature review was conducted using the ClinicalKey, Science Direct, and Google Scholar databases. Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) were used to refine the search. Inclusion criteria included research articles published between 2015 and 2024 in accredited national or internationally reputable journals, with a JBI critical appraisal tools score above 65%. The PRISMA diagram was used for article selection, resulting in five eligible articles for analysis. Results: The findings indicate that coumarin, predominantly found in cinnamon, has glucose-lowering effects in diabetes mellitus type 2 patients by reducing blood glucose levels, controlling glucose spikes, and lowering HbA1c. Additionally, coumarin derivatives in Opuntia ficus-indica and Smallanthus sonchifolius (yacon) may contribute to metabolic homeostasis through antioxidant activity. However, coumarin also poses hepatotoxic and carcinogenic risks at high doses. Conclusion: While coumarin-containing compounds show promise in improving glycemic control. Further research is needed to determine safe and effective therapeutic doses for clinical application.

Abstract

Background: Sexual harassment refers to any unwelcome verbal, non-verbal, or physical conduct intended to, or resulting in, the violation of an individual's dignity, particularly through the creation of an intimidating, degrading, humiliating, or hostile environment. This form of harassment can lead to both immediate and long-term adverse effects on adolescent health. As previously noted, adolescents constitute a vulnerable group that must be safeguarded against such acts. One of the essential strategies for ensuring their protection involves the implementation of preventive measures. Purpose: To find out preventive measures that could be taken to prevent sexual harassment. Method: A systematic literature review guided by the PICO framework was employed. Literature searches were conducted using specific keywords combined with Boolean operators. The final selection of articles obtained through this process served as the basis for review in this study. Selected articles were subsequently extracted, evaluated for quality, and analyzed in a tabulated format. Results: The initial database search yielded a total of 1,447 articles. Following the screening and selection process based on the PRISMA flow diagram, 7 articles met the inclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis. The literature review identified several preventive programs targeting sexual harassment among adolescents, including Self-Defense Training, the RISE Program, policy development initiatives, as well as school-based interventions such as Benzies & Batchies and Boys, and the GlobalConsent program. Conclusion: Efforts to prevent sexual harassment in adolescents include self-defense training, awareness programs like RISE and Globalconsent, school policies, and resilience-building initiatives, all aimed at increasing knowledge and protection.

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of hyperuricemia has increased, yet there is a gap in empirical studies regarding the association between hyperuricemia and diabetes mellitus in Indonesia. Purpose: To determine the baseline association between serum uric acid and fasting blood glucose in the peri-urban population. Method: A quantitative approach was employed, with particular emphasis on a formative method. The study was conducted in Sampangan, Semarang, from January to April 2023. Uric acid levels served as the independent variable, while fasting blood glucose was designated as the dependent variable. A total of 44 participants were selected through total sampling, based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data analysis involved univariate testing to assess the frequency distribution of participant characteristics, followed by bivariate analysis utilizing one-way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Results: Significant differences were observed in fasting blood glucose, serum uric acid, and systolic blood pressure levels across the healthy, prediabetic, and type 2 diabetic groups, as well as between individuals with normal uric acid levels and those with hyperuricemia. Conversely, no significant differences were found for age, diastolic blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), or cholesterol levels. Conclusion: This study offers a deeper understanding of serum uric acid levels among healthy individuals, prediabetic patients, and individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Factors such as uric acid concentration, presence of hypertension, and patient initiative contribute to decisions regarding the continuation of screening.

Abstract

Background: Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) poses a considerable dermatological concern, affecting individuals of various ethnic backgrounds, with a notably higher prevalence among those with darker skin tones. The intricate pathophysiology of PIH, which involves inflammatory mediators and melanogenic pathways, necessitates a multifaceted treatment approach to achieve the best possible clinical results. Purpose: This systematic review evaluates the effectiveness, safety, and clinical outcomes of various combination therapies for managing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), with a focus on their synergistic effects and suitability for diverse skin types. Method: A systematic review with article selection guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The systematic review process begins with the formulation of clinical questions relevant to the topic. Before this, the authors establish PICOS criteria, which stand for: P (problem, patient, or population), I (intervention, prognostic factor, or exposure), C (comparison or control), O (outcome), and S (study design). For this article, P: Individuals of any age and skin type diagnosed with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), I: Any combination therapy involving two or more active ingredients or treatment methods, C: Single therapy, alternative combination therapies, or placebo, O: Clinical improvement in PIH, patient satisfaction, adverse effects, and treatment duration, S: Randomized controlled trials. The article search was conducted systematically using the keywords: “post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation” AND “combination therapy” AND “hyperpigmentation treatment” AND “topical therapy” AND “skin pigmentation” AND “melanin” AND “tyrosinase inhibitors” AND “retinoids” AND “kojic acid” AND “hydroquinone” AND “tranexamic acid” AND “niacinamide” AND “Boolean operators”. Results: The review of eight studies found that combination therapies were more effective than monotherapy for treating post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Dual treatments, such as glycolic acid cream with peeling and TCA with PRP, showed notable improvements. Combining chemical peels with topical agents was especially effective for stubborn cases. Success depended on proper patient selection, personalized plans, and timing. Overall, targeting multiple pigmentation pathways improved outcomes and was safe, particularly for darker skin types (Fitzpatrick IV–VI). Conclusion: Combination therapy is the most effective approach for treating PIH, as it utilizes synergistic treatment methods tailored to individual patient factors like skin type and PIH severity.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is one of the non-communicable diseases that is a concern throughout the world, including Indonesia. Hypertension occurs frequently in menopausal women, because at menopause there is a decrease in estrogen hormones, so there is a risk of suffering from hypertension. One of the non-pharmacological therapies to control blood pressure in menopausal women is aerobic exercise. Sejati intervention is aerobic exercise that can cause a decrease in heart rate, which will reduce cardiac output, which ultimately causes a decrease in blood pressure. Purpose: To see the effectiveness of Sejati intervention on blood pressure in menopausal women. Method: The research design used was a quasy experiment, namely with a pre-test and post-test research design with a control group. The number of samples in this study was 36 respondents with 18 respondents in the intervention group and 18 respondents in the control group. The inclusion criteria in this study were menopausal women with hypertension who have blood pressure ≥140/90 mmHg and the exclusion criteria of this study were respondents with comorbidities. The statistical analysis used in this study was a linear regression test. Results: There was the effect of sejati intervention on blood pressure in menopausal women with hypertension at the Bojonggambir Health Center, Tasikmalaya Regency with a p value of 0.000 < α 0.05. Conclusion: The sejati intervention has an effect on reducing blood pressure in menopausal women. Suggestion: This research can be used as a reference material for further research.

Abstract

Background: One serious side effect of portal hypertension that is often seen in individuals with liver cirrhosis is esophageal varices.  Even after Endoscopic Band Ligation (EBL), there is a significant chance that these varices may bleed again.  Uncontrolled portal pressure, therapeutic noncompliance, and concomitant gastrointestinal disorders are often linked to rebleeding. Purpose: To evaluate the risk factors influencing the success of Endoscopic Band Ligation (EBL) in preventing rebleeding in patients with a history of esophageal variceal rupture. Method: Using a descriptive case study approach with an eye on one patient undergoing treatment at a hospital, this research medical records provided data, which were then descriptively examined to assess clinical factors, forms of treatment given, and patient condition over time. Results: Results revealed that individuals with hepatic cirrhosis brought on by a hepatitis B infection are very likely to rebleed. Among the contributing causes were uncontrolled portal hypertension, congestive gastropathy, gastrointestinal bleeding-related chronic anemia, and inadequate therapeutic adherence. Furthermore important were eating behaviors that aggravate gastrointestinal problems. Conclusion: Stopping rebleeding calls for a multidisciplinary strategy. Monitoring portal pressure, following beta-blocker and antiviral treatment, and teaching patients about long-term care are among these aspects. To confirm these results, further research using bigger sample sizes is required.
