Abstract

Many farmers are interested in planting porang tubers, with many farmers planting porang tubers, the price of porang tubers will decrease during harvest . Porang tubers have several contents, namely starch, glucomannan, fiber, fat, protein, minerals and vitamins. Glucomannan content can be used as a tablet binder, thickener, gilling agent, film former, coating material emulsifier, and stabilizer. The purpose of this study was to determine the concentration of porang tuber flour as a binder in Acetaminophenum granules using the wet granulation method. Granules were made into three formulations with variations in the concentration of porang tuber flour, namely FI 5%, FII 7.5% and FIII 10%. GRANULES were tested for tablet uniformity, tablet hardness, tablet fragility , disintegration time, and granule size distribution. The data obtained were analyzed using Kruskal Wallis. The results of the analysis showed that variations in the concentration of porang tuber flour had different effects, based on the Kruskal Wallis analysis which showed a significant value of 0.10 (p> 0.05). The formulation that has a good physical quality test is formulation III, with a tablet hardness value of 6.84 kg and a disintegration time of 5.74 minutes which is almost close to the control (+) 14.27 kg and 6.38 minutes. The higher the concentration of porang tuber flour , the higher, the longer the disintegration time.

Abstract

Bacterial infections remain a major global health issue, worsened by rising antibiotic resistance. This study evaluated the antimicrobial activity of the ethyl acetate fraction of Mikania micrantha leaves against Escherichia coli (Gram-negative) and Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive) using the disc diffusion method. Phytochemical screening identified flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and steroid/triterpenoids in the fraction. The antimicrobial test showed that this fraction inhibited the growth of both bacteria, with larger inhibition zones observed at higher extract concentrations. At 5% concentration, E. coli showed an inhibition zone of 8.43 mm, while at 15%, the zone increased to 12.26 mm. For S. aureus, the 15% concentration produced a 20.43 mm inhibition zone. Statistical analysis confirmed significant differences between concentrations (p < 0.05). These results suggest that the ethyl acetate fraction of Mikania micrantha leaves has potential as an antibacterial agent, especially effective against Escherichia. coli at 15%.

Abstract

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is a condition where germs grow and reproduce in the urinary tract with significant amounts of bacteriuria. UTIs are treated with antibiotics. Standardization of treatment considers more effective drugs at lower costs to reduce the number of events and health costs. The aim of this research is to determine the cost-effectiveness of using antibiotics in UTI patients at the Hospital in Kediri City, to identify the most cost-effective alternatives to achieve predetermined goals or criteria that cannot be measured in monetary terms, for example several health outcomes. The study was conducted using a retrospective method that compared the direct medical cost of antibiotics for UTI patients. The population of this study was all 44 inpatient UTI patients at the Hospital X in Kediri. The data were analyzed by calculating the Average Cost Effectiveness Ratio (ACER) and Incremental Cost Effectiveness Ratio (ICER). The results of the research showed that the average total cost effectiveness of the antibiotic Levofloxacin was lower by IDR. 2.448.854 compared to ceftriaxone with an average cost of Rp. 2.474.673. The effectiveness of the antibiotic Levofloxacin is more cost effective than Ceftriaxone because it has a lower ACER value, namely Rp. 594.382.039. The calculated ICER value for both antibiotics is Rp. -58.679.55. The conclusion in this study is that to achieve cost effectiveness of a treatment, an ICER value is needed and the calculation was obtained at Rp. -58.679.55. This shows that there is a cost reduction of Rp. -58.679.55 in the use of the antibiotic Ceftriaxone to obtain lower cost effective results

Abstract

Lotion is a cosmetic preparation that functions to moisturize and protect the skin by providing a soothing effect. This research utilizes natural ingredients in the form of strawberry leaf extract (Fragaria vesca) to create a lotion formulation with high antioxidant activity. The objective of this study is to determine the effect of varying concentrations of strawberry leaf extract on the physical quality and antioxidant activity of the lotion. This experimental study involved formulating lotions with different concentrations of strawberry leaf extract at 2%, 4%, and 6%. The antioxidant activity was evaluated using the DPPH (1,1-Diphenyl-2-Picrylhydrazyl) method to measure the extract's ability to scavenge free radicals. The main active component in strawberry leaf extract is polyphenol compounds, which act as natural antioxidants in cosmetic products. The results showed that the strawberry leaf fraction lotion had a soft texture, green color, and a characteristic strawberry leaf scent. The pH test had a significance value of 0.00. The viscosity test also had a significance value of 0.00. The adhesion test results showed a significance value of 0.00, and the spreadability test also had a significance value of 0.00. The DPPH antioxidant test showed regression values of 0.932 for the positive control, 0.854 for the negative control, 0.948 for F1, 0.985 for F2, and 0.967 for F3. This study provides strong evidence that strawberry leaf fraction is suitable as an active ingredient in antioxidant cosmetic products, with the potential to compete with conventional ingredients. The SPSS test results showed a significant effect of concentration on free radical inhibition, as well as significant differences in pH, spreadability, and adhesion tests among the formulations. However, some groups did not meet the assumptions of normality and homogeneity, indicating the need for alternative analytical methods for further validation
