Abstract

Air pollution has a significant impact on lung health, especially for groups of workers who are directly exposed to pollution, such as traffic police. This study aims to evaluate the effect of air pollution on Malondialdehyde (MDA), Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), and lung function levels in traffic police in Banjarbaru City. The method used was observational analytic with a cross-sectional research design. This study involved two groups, namely traffic police and non-traffic police, with a purposive sampling technique. The subjects involved totaled 80 people, divided into 40 traffic police and 40 non-traffic police, with the criteria of traffic police who have worked for at least 5 years. Serum MDA and SOD levels and pulmonary function assessment using spirometry were performed in both groups. The results showed that MDA levels in traffic police were higher (184.75 ± 14.5 µM) compared to non-traffic police (178.4 ± 3.4 µM), while SOD levels in traffic police were lower (1.06 ± 0.384 units) compared to non-traffic police (1.22 ± 0.3 units). In addition, Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) values in traffic police were lower, while the FEV1/FVC ratio showed no significant difference. Air pollution has a significant effect on increasing MDA, decreasing SOD, FVC, and FEV1 in traffic police. It is recommended to reduce air pollution exposure in this group through stricter pollution control policies and the use of respiratory protective equipment.

Abstract

Most of Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes (APO) are preventable particularly if the health personnel can early detect the risk.  This study aimed to review articles on how the machine learning model can predict APO for early detection to prevent neonatal mortality. We conducted a systematic literature review by analyzing seven articles which published between 1 January 2013 and 31 October 2022. The search strategy was the populations are pregnant women, intervention using machine learning for APO prediction, and the outcomes of APO are Low Birth Weight, preterm birth, and stillbirth. We found that the predictors of LBW were demographic, maternal, environmental, fetus characteristics, and obstetric factors. The predictors of preterm birth were demographics and lifestyle. Meanwhile, the predictors of stillbirth were demographic, lifestyle, maternal, obstetric, and fetus characteristics. It was indicated that Random Forest (Accuracy: 91.60; AUC-ROC: 96.80), Extreme Gradient Boosting (Accuracy: 90.80; AUC-ROC: 95.90), logistic regression (accuracy 90.24% and precision 87.6%) can be used to predict the risk of APO. By using a machine learning algorithm, the best APO prediction models that can be used are logistic regression, random forest, and extreme gradient boosting with sensitivity values and AUC of almost 100%. Demographic factors are the main risk factors for APO.

Abstract

Breast milk is the best food for babies, but insufficient production can hinder breastfeeding. Many mothers face challenges with milk production, preventing optimal breastfeeding. This study aims to innovate and develop a vibration-based electric massage device to enhance breast milk production and analyze its effectiveness based on baby weight indicators. The research employs a quantitative method with a Quasi-Experimental design, divided into an intervention group and a control group. A random sampling technique selected 46 respondents, split evenly between the two groups. The intervention group received breast care using the vibration-based device, while the control group received standard breast care for 14 days. Breast care was administered twice daily for 2-3 minutes. Baby weight was measured at 14, 21, and 28 days. Tools to measure energy intake, protein intake, and fluid intake utilized food recall, and breastfeeding frequency was measured by a scale. Psychological status was assessed using the DASS questionnaire. Data analysis included Repeated Measure ANOVA and Independent Simple T-Test. Results indicated a significant difference in breast milk production based on baby weight between the intervention and control groups (p=0.000). The mean weight difference between the groups was 200.21 grams, favoring the intervention group. Increased breast milk production was not influenced by confounding variables such as energy intake, protein intake, fluid intake, breastfeeding frequency, and psychological status. In conclusion, the developed vibration-based electric massage device effectively increased breast milk production, evidenced by significant weight gain in babies within the intervention group compared to the control group (p=0.000).

Abstract

Postpartum hemorrhage is the main cause of high morbidity in the world (75%). Until now, efforts to early detect the risk of postpartum hemorrhage have still not been maximized. Sensor-based smartband can be the development of non-invasive methods in an effort to early detection of declining Hb levels in monitoring the risk of bleeding with practical, fast, precise, accurate, and practical. This research aims to determine the effectiveness of developing and analyzing the effectiveness of the "Hae-band" smartband in monitoring the risk of postpartum hemorrhage. The research method used is Research and Development (R&D), a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design using a nonequivalent dependent variable. The sampling technique in this research uses non-probability sampling with purposive sampling type. Respondents were selected by purposive sampling with a sample of 35 respondents maternity up to 6 hours postpartum to measure Hb levels and analyze the average levels of Hb and declining levels of HB Hae-band, HB meter POCT and visual estimation of blood loss volume compared with HB meter POCT (gold standard). Data analysis using the descriptive test, validation test, Paired T-Test, Independent T-Test, and multiple linear regression. The research results show that the Hae-band has been developed and is feasible as a measure of Hb levels which has a sensitivity of truth tool as much as 70.0% and can detect a decrease in Hb levels as much as 63.9% (p=0.000) more partially effective than visual estimation (0.24%) Smartband can detect Hb levels with good results compared to the gold standard of blood tests with a difference of 0.324 g/dL (p.0.113) with an average Hb levels at 6 hours PP at 11.19 g/dL compared to the average POCT 11.34 g/dL. This research concludes that Hae-band is more effective in detecting postpartum hemorrhage risk than visual estimation. It is hoped that further research can develop a more modern design where the sensor is more comfortable to use for long periods and has an alternative way of reading the sensor other than on the wrist. Improving accuracy, sensitivity, and higher battery power by improving the type of design, sensor, and wave type to be more suitable for measuring Hb levels can also be developed considering the efficiency of maternal monitoring and recording in the era of digitalization in early detection of bleeding risk.

Abstract

Preeclampsia is a severe pregnancy complication characterized by elevated blood pressure and often occurs after 20 weeks of gestation. This condition can lead to significant morbidity and mortality for both the mother and the fetus. This study aims to identify the risk factors associated with preeclampsia in pregnant women, a condition that remains prevalent in Indonesia and globally. The research employed a comprehensive literature review method, examining ten articles sourced from databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and Elsevier. The inclusion criteria for the literature review involved studies focused on the causes and consequences of preeclampsia, published within the last ten years, and providing substantial data on maternal mortality. The results of the literature review indicated that pregnant women with a history of hypertension or previous preeclampsia are at a significantly higher risk of developing preeclampsia. Additionally, severe cases of preeclampsia, such as those involving HELLP syndrome, eclampsia, and high diastolic blood pressure, were strongly linked to increased maternal mortality. The review also highlighted the crucial role of efficient referral systems and timely medical interventions in managing severe preeclampsia and reducing maternal deaths. This study concludes that early detection and continuous monitoring are essential for managing preeclampsia effectively. The findings underscore the need for standardized treatment protocols, improved healthcare access, and comprehensive prenatal services to mitigate the risks associated with preeclampsia. Future research should aim to include a broader range of studies and explore the long-term implications of preeclampsia on maternal and fetal health. These insights are critical for developing effective strategies to reduce the incidence and severity of preeclampsia and enhance maternal health outcomes.

Abstract

Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) is a major health risk for children under five. Various factors, such as poor food intake, infections, family size, healthcare participation, maternal nutrition knowledge, and parenting practices, contribute to SAM. However, no studies have specifically examined these factors in under-five children in Grobogan Regency. This study aims to analyze the risk factors associated with severe acute malnutrition among children under five years old in Grobogan Regency. The study employed a quantitative case-control design involving children aged 0-59 months in Grobogan Regency, with 11 children with Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) as the case group obtained through total sampling, and 11 well-nourished children as the control group selected via matching. Key variables examined included energy, protein, fat, and carbohydrate intake, as well as infectious diseases, family size, participation in posyandu, maternal nutrition knowledge, and parenting practices. Descriptive analysis outlined the subjects and variables, with bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square test at a 95% confidence level (α=0.05). The results study show that the statistical analysis indicated that inadequate energy intake was significantly associated with SAM (p=0.008, OR=26.667), suggesting that children under five with insufficient energy intake are 26.667 times more likely to experience severe acute malnutrition compared to those with adequate energy intake. In contrast, adequate intake of protein, fat, and carbohydrates, as well as factors such as infectious diseases, family size (p=0.080), participation in posyandu (p=1.000), maternal nutrition knowledge (p=0.476), and parenting practices (p=0.198), did not demonstrate significant associations with SAM among these children. The conclusion is adequate energy intake has been identified as a significant risk factor for SAM among under-five children in Grobogan Regency. Conversely, factors such as adequate intake of protein, fat, and carbohydrates, infectious diseases, family size, participation in posyandu, maternal nutrition knowledge, and parenting practices were not recognized as significant risk factors.

Abstract

Breastfeeding is the best strategy to ensure optimal growth and development for infants. Social support, fatigue, and stress are the main factors that hinder breastfeeding for primiparous mothers. This cross-sectional study analyzes husband support and coping stress of exclusive breastfeeding for primiparous mothers with a quantitative approach. The samples were 70 respondents taken with a total sampling technique. The research instruments were the husband support questionnaire and coping strategies inventory. The researchers analyzed the data with chi-square and multiple logistic regression. The results found 48 (68.5%) mothers with excellent husband support and exclusive breastfeeding. Meanwhile, mothers with excellent husband support but without exclusive breastfeeding were 18 respondents (25.71%). The results of statistical tests with a significance level of 5% obtained a sig value (p-value) of husband support (p=0.002) and coping stress p=0.000. The result indicates a correlation between husband support and coping stress on exclusive breastfeeding with OR value = (3.667). On the other hand, mothers with excellent husband support could provide exclusive breastfeeding 4 times higher than those with poor husband support. Husband support and coping stress affect exclusive breastfeeding of primiparous mothers in the employed area of Puskesmas Dinoyo Malang City. Coping stress is the dominant factor influencing exclusive breastfeeding in primiparous mothers in the employing area of Puskesmas Dinoyo Malang City. The research recommends public health centers improve programs that support maternal care in helping to improve skills in managing stress, on exclusive breastfeeding both at the public health center, the integrated public health service, and the auxiliary health center.

Abstract

Moringa oleifera Lam (MO) plants have long been reported to have many pharmacotherapy benefits. In vitro and in vivo studies have shown that MO extracts have various biological activities and therapeutic effects, including cardioprotective, cardiometabolic, hypocholesterolemic, neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-hypertensive, anti-diabetic, anti-bacterial, immunomodulatory and anticancer. Researchers have tested extracts from various parts of the MO tree, both in vitro and in vivo, on several types of cancer (such as liver cancer cells, breast cancer, colorectal, leukemia, lung cancer, and oral cancer) with varying success. This review aims to explore the current state of the latest anticancer activity research of MO plants in the last five years. We tried to explore the anticancer activities of MO extracts from reported in vivo and in vitro studies. We searched systematically from three databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Embase) and summarized the data. The keywords used were “Moringa oleifera” AND “anticancer” AND “in vivo” OR “in vitro”. The inclusion criteria were in vivo or in vitro experimental studies and exclusion criteria analyses i.e., in silico trials, study protocols, reviews, or observational studies. This review includes 16 papers on nonclinical studies of MO anticancer activity. Several active compounds have been purified and have reported their anticancer effectiveness, including glucomoringin-ITC/MIC-1, 7-octanoic acid, oleamide, 1-phenyl-2-pentanol, quercetin, gallic acid, p-coumaric acid, and 4-hydroxy 3 – methoxy cinnamic acid, quinic acid. There was no difference in the mechanism of anticancer action based on plant parts, leaves, roots, and seeds, even though using different extraction methods. The general mechanism of action shown was apoptotic, antiproliferative, and cytotoxic. The dose used differed depending on the type of cancer cells used. Some used conventional extraction methods, and others have used modern techniques to extract the purified active compounds from the fractionation process. Our review made it clear that MO could be an excellent and safe candidate for the development of novel therapies against cancer and was most commonly reported in MCF-7, HepG2, and HCT-116 cancer cells. In addition, the development of MO products as future cancer prevention is also interesting to be explored and developed optimally in clinical settings.

Abstract

The use of vitamins and micronutrients as an immunity enhancer during the COVID-19 pandemic is needed. The use of vitamins and micronutrients as immunity boosters during the COVID-19 pandemic is very much needed. The description of vitamin needs can be predicted from vitamin sales carried out by network online pharmacies in Indonesia. Vitamins C and E are antioxidants that indirectly have a role as an antiviral. Vitamin D can increase immunity, so its availability is important during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study compares vitamin sales before and during the COVID-19 pandemic at online pharmacies in Indonesia as a description of vitamin use in the community, and their availability by the pharmaceutical industry so that the government can take policies to accelerate this period. The study began by taking master data of all vitamin sales from January 2019 to December 2020 at one of the online pharmacies in Indonesia. Data on all sales each year were grouped based on vitamin content, namely single vitamins, containing two vitamins, and multivitamins (more than two vitamins) and then compared them. Data analysis used the independent t-test, and if the data was not normal and homogeneous, it was processed using the Mann-Whitney test by SPSS version 26 software. The results showed that there was a significant difference between sales of vitamin C (p<0.05), vitamin E (p<0.01), a combination of vitamins B and C (p<0.05), vitamins B and E (p<0.05), and multivitamins (p<0.001) in online pharmacy networks in Indonesia before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Interestingly, sales of vitamin D did not increase significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic due to limited supplies from pharmaceutical companies even though vitamin D is very important for increasing immunity, thus giving rise to the policy of the Indonesian Ministry of Health to utilize sunlight as the main source of vitamin D.

Abstract

This study examines the factors hindering effective stunting management in rural Indonesia, with a particular focus on government policy. Despite ongoing efforts, inadequate attention has been given to key policy-related challenges, including cross-sectoral coordination, merit-based recruitment, budget allocation, and community-based education. This study aims to identify policy barriers that hinder the implementation of stunting mitigation efforts in rural Indonesia. The method used A qualitative approach with a phenomenological design was employed. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 32 purposively selected participants, including regional and sub-district heads, village chiefs, health department leaders, and community health center directors, from January to August 2023. The results show that the analysis identified five primary barriers to stunting management: (1) Regulatory inconsistencies, including overlapping inter-agency guidelines that create ambiguity in implementation; (2) Human resource limitations, characterized by a shortage of skilled personnel and nepotistic recruitment practices; (3) Structural and institutional barriers, such as bureaucratic inefficiencies and inter-agency conflicts of interest; (4) Misallocated funding, driven by corruption and weak oversight, leading to ineffective budget distribution; and (5) Community-related factors, including poverty, low nutritional awareness, and unsupportive cultural practices. The conclusion is The conclusion is to addressing these barriers is essential for improving stunting management in rural Indonesia. Enhancing policy consistency, strengthening institutional frameworks, and improving resource allocation are key to overcoming existing challenges. The study recommends periodic regulatory evaluations, enhanced cross-sectoral coordination, and alignment of national policies with local needs. Establishing community-based recruitment and training systems through strategic partnerships could mitigate human resource constraints. Strengthening anti-corruption measures through independent oversight and digital reporting systems. Finally, fostering sustained community education through sociocultural approaches and local leader involvement is critical to increasing awareness and participation in stunting prevention efforts.
