Abstract

Background: Zinc is an essential mineral involved in various biological functions, including the regulation of the immune system. Zinc deficiency can lead to impaired immune function, increased susceptibility to infections, and delayed healing of diseases.  Methods: We searched the Pubmed and Google Scholar databases using relevant keywords such as “zinc”, “zinc supplementation”, “essential micronutrients”, "immune system”, and "infectious diseases."  Discussion: The results of the study indicate that zinc supplementation significantly impacts individuals with zinc deficiency, particularly in enhancing the number and function of immune cells like T and B cells. However, in a healthy population with normal zinc levels, supplementation did not yield significant improvements in immune function.  Conclusion: Zinc is an essential micronutrient that plays a crucial role in enhancing the immune system, especially in individuals with deficiency. Further research is needed to better understand the mechanisms by which zinc supports immunity in a broader population.   Keywords: zinc, immune system, infectious diseases.

Abstract

AbstractBackground. Low back pain (LBP) is a common and significant problem in both clinical and public health settings. Although lower back pain (LBP) is common, a clear knowledge of its cause is still difficult to achieveMethods. Literature searching was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science using Search terms included "low back pain", "bipedal locomotion”, “quadrupedal locomotion” , “anthropological perspective”. Systematic reviews of peer-reviewed articles, reports, and case studies were chosen.Discussion. Bipedalism as a pivotal evolutionary development with profound impacts on human anatomy and biomechanics. While it conferred advantages for survival and adaptation, it also introduced challenges, particularly regarding spinal health. Insights from this review illuminate the evolutionary origins of locomotor patterns and inform approaches to addressing modern health issues, such as LBP, stemming from our unique upright posture.Conclusion. Bipedalism, a key feature of human development, brought about substantial alterations in the spinal column and musculoskeletal system, allowing for upright walking and the liberation of the hands for tool use. Nevertheless, these adjustments also made people more susceptible to lower back pain (LBP) as a result of the distinct pressures exerted on the spine. Keywords. low back pain, bipedal locomotion, quadrupedal locomotion, anthropological perspective

Abstract

Background. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is one of the most common knee ligament injuries, especially in athletes. Although ACL reconstruction is often required to restore stability to the knee joint, postoperative rehabilitation is essential to restore knee strength and function. Weight training is considered useful for recovery. However, not many studies have thoroughly studied this technique. Objective. This study investigated how effective weight training is in improving the recovery ability of patients after ACL reconstruction, with particular emphasis on reducing pain and increasing joint range of motion (ROM). Methods. is a literature review where analysis of various literature sources is carried out. Literature searches were conducted through google scholar and mendeley sources with a range of years between 2019-2024. Results: The study showed that weight training improved patient recovery, with an average pain level of 5.75 in the first cycle and a ROM of 96.25°. In the second cycle, pain levels dropped to 3.00 and ROM increased to 101.25°. In the third cycle, the pain level dropped to 1.00 and the ROM increased to 115.00°. Discussion. In rehabilitation post ACL reconstruction, organized weight training helps reduce pain, improve knee stability, and strengthen the muscles that support the knee joint. The success of rehabilitation is enhanced by the application of varied exercises according to the stage of recovery. Conclusion. This study found that gradual weight training can significantly accelerate the recovery process of patients after ACL reconstruction, by reducing pain and increasing ROM. These findings provide a strong basis for the development of more comprehensive rehabilitation programs in the future, as well as making weight training a standard technique in ACL injury recovery.

Abstract

Abstract Background. Eye health is a crucial element in an individual's quality of life, given the essential function of vision in everyday life. The main focus of this issue is on the relevance of nutrients, specifically Lutein, one of several types of Xanthophyll Carotenoids found in high concentrations in the macula of the human retina. Since the human body is unable to synthesize lutein on its own, the only way to obtain this substance is through food consumption.1 Methods. This study was conducted as a systematic literature review to collect and analyze relevant research on lutein and its nutrients in the context of eye health. The main focus was on studies that discussed the effects of lutein on age-related eye diseases. The literature examined came from various academic databases, including PubMed, Google Scholar, and leading scientific journals in the fields of nutrition and ophthalmology. Discussion. This study focuses insight into lutein, a carotenoid with high potential for improving human health, notably in the prevention of degenerative disorders. Conclusion. Lutein is essential for preserving eye health, particularly in the prevention of age-related macular degeneration. Adequate lutein consumption from foods such as green vegetables and egg yolks is advantageous, whereas lutein supplementation is safe but should be used with caution in people with reduced absorption. More research is needed in order to comprehend the processes and long-term effects of lutein in eye health. Keywords. Lutein, Eye Health, Nutrition

Abstract

ABSTRACT The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was first reported at the end of 2019 in Wuhan, China. The COVID-19 outbreak has spread to several countries quickly and transmitted from animals like bats. The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has had a significant impact on public health globally. One of the main aspects that is affected is the human body’s endurance or immune system. This research aims to examine how COVID-19 infection affects the immune response and the underlying menchanisme. This virus is known to trigger an excessive innate and adaptive immune response, which can lead to dangerous conditions such as a cytokine storm. In addition, patients with comorbid conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and heart disease tend to experience a decline in immune function, making them more vulnerale to severe COVID-19 symptoms. On the other hand, COVID-19 infection also impacts the long-term immune system, where some patients exhibit “long COVID” symptomps, indicating prolonged immune dysfunction. This study also reviews the important roles of nutrition, physical acitivity, and stress management in supporting the immune system during the pandemic. The finding suggest the importane of integrated prevention strategies to enhance immune health, particulary among vulnerable Keywords: COVID-19, pandemic, immune system, immune respon

Abstract

Abstract Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. According to the World Health Organization (Global TB Report, 2023), TB is still a health problem in the world today. The number of people newly diagnosed with TB globally will be 7.5 million in 2022, with 12% being children (aged 0–14 years). One of the main focuses in treating TB is knowing the correct diagnosis method. TB examination in children is usually carried out by taking a Rapid Molecular Test (TCM) sputum specimen. However, sometimes this method is less effective because the child has difficulty expelling phlegm spontaneously. To overcome this problem, various countries have implemented other TB diagnosis methods such as Stool Culture, Xpert, and Xpert Ultra diagnosis. The Xpert diagnosis method increases the sensitivity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis detection so that TB detection in children can be more accurate. In the future, the Xpert Ultra diagnostic method has begun to be developed, whose sensitivity is more accurate than the Xpert method. With the correct diagnostic method, it is hoped that the treatment process for children with TB can be more effective.
