Abstract

Anemia is a global health issue affecting various age groups, including teenagers. This systematic review aims to identify the causes and treatments of anemia in adolescents. Using the Systematic Literature Review method, data were sourced from four databases: PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and SCOPUS. The literature search employed the keywords "Risk factor" AND "Anemia" AND "Adolescence," conducted comprehensively via the Publish or Perish (POP) search engine. Articles were selected based on inclusion criteria, covering publications from the last three years (2021-2023). Eligibility was assessed using the PICOS framework, and duplications were filtered using the Covidence application. Articles unrelated to the research problem were excluded after screening titles and abstracts. The VOSviewer application was utilized for thematic mapping. The study selection followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Based on 18 selected articles, data was obtained on factors influencing anemia among adolescents such as inadequacy of nutrient intake (N=5 studies) such as protein, iron, and Vitamin A Nutritional status (N=3 studies), dietary patterns (N=2 studies), menstruation (N=2 studies), and hemoglobinopathies (N=1 study) are translated into English. Indirect risk factors associated with anemia among adolescents are found to be: Adolescent females (N=10 studies), Knowledge (N=6 studies), low socioeconomic status (N=3 studies), Education (N=2 studies), Demographics (2 studies), Shared toilet usage (1 study). The study concludes that young women are more susceptible to anemia than young men, with nutritional intake, knowledge, nutritional status, and diet being the primary risk factors. Addressing direct and indirect causes is crucial for effectively managing adolescent anemia.

Abstract

Honey is a naturally sweet liquid produced by bees from flower nectar, which varies in quality and flavonoid content due to the food source, environment and the bees that produce it. This study aims to evaluate the quality and flavonoid content of honey from the Riau Forest of Indonesia. Quality testing was conducted in accordance with SNI 8664:2018 with sensory, physical, chemical and microbiological parameters. Flavonoid testing was carried out qualitatively using HPLC. The test results showed that the sensory profile of honey was in accordance with the standard, sweet taste, distinctive aroma, brown colour and thick shape. Chemical parameters obtained values of moisture content of 21.92%, diastase enzyme 3.13 DN and HMF 4.14 mg/kg have met the requirements. However, the reducing sugar of 54.1% is still below the requirement. Heavy metal parameters (Pb, Cd, As and Hg) were not detected and microbiological ALT 3.0 x 10 and yeast mould <10 colonies/gr that have met. Furthermore, the results of flavonoid qualitative tests detected several types including Luteolin, Mangiferin, Smiglanin, maltol, isoflavones, quercetin, Cnidimol C, Norcimifungin, Apigenin, Methyl ophiopogonanone B, Pectolinarigenin, Kusenol C, 3,5,6-trihydroxy-4',7-dimetoxyflavone and Lupinifoline. The conclusion of this study shows that honey from Riau forests fulfils most of the quality requirements and has a diverse flavonoid content.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus and metabolic disorders are the priority programs in Indonesia. There is one program to reduce the fatality impact of diabetes which is diabetic self-management education (DSME). This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) on dietary habits, physical activity, and obesity.  This study is a quasi-experimental approach with one group pre-test post-test design. The sample in this study was 75 people with DM type II. The intervention for all samples was done for 4 sessions. Each session lasted 60 to 120 minutes/day with a maximum of 10 patients. The findings revealed that dietary habits were good from 56.0% to 69.3%, physical activity was good from 54.7% to 76.0%, and obesity decreased from 69.3% to 57.35, respectively for pre and post-test. The paired t-test result revealed that DSME correlates with dietary habits, physical activity, and obesity (obesity, physical activity, and dietary habit with p-values 0.024; 0.007; and 0.02, respectively). In conclusion, DSME has significantly influenced dietary habits, physical activity, and obesity. Education is crucial in promoting physical activity among individuals with diabetes. By enhancing self-efficacy, providing education on self-care behaviors, and emphasizing the importance of regular physical activity, these programs contribute to improving metabolic control, quality of life, and overall health outcomes in diabetic patients.

Abstract

The effect of cigarette smoke exposure on reproductive health has been widely studied, showing various physiological disorders induced by free radicals and oxidative stress. This study aimed to assess the protective effect of ethanol extract of black garlic (Allium sativum) on some reproductive parameters of female rats Rattus norvegicus exposed to subacute cigarette smoke. A proper experimental method with a post-test-only control group design was used, involving 25 rats divided into five groups with three different doses of the extract. The rats were exposed to cigarette smoke and then treated for 28 days. Results showed a significant decrease in ovarian Malondialdehyde levels and increased fallopian tube smooth muscle thickness in the extract-treated group. In addition, black garlic extract successfully increased the number of endometrial arterioles in the group exposed to cigarette smoke and extract, in contrast to the group exposed to cigarette smoke only. This study concludes that black garlic extract has the potential to be a protective agent against oxidative damage in the reproductive system of rats exposed to cigarette smoke, with effectiveness that depends on the dose of extract given. Further studies should investigate the long-term effects and optimal dosing of black garlic extract in humans. Additionally, exploring the molecular mechanisms behind its protective properties could enhance its application in reproductive health management.

Abstract

Most household appliances are made of plastic derived from synthetic petroleum and result from polymerization processes. One type of plastic is Polyethylene (PE). Polyethylene (PE) contains antimony trioxide compounds that are carcinogenic if ingested in excessive amounts, triggering cancer and oxidative stress. This effect can be assessed by measuring malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in the body. This study aims to determine the proliferation of abnormal cells in the lactiferous ducts and mammary gland acini, as well as the increase in MDA levels. The research method used is a true experimental design with a Randomized Post Test Only Group Design. This study used the mammary organs and blood of female white rats exposed to PE for 28 days. The number of samples used in this study was 12 female white rats. The results showed significant differences in the mammary glands' histopathological features and MDA levels. Based on the Independent T-Test results on the number of cell layers in the lactiferous ducts, acini, and the number of acini (p<0.05) and the Mann-Whitney test on MDA levels (p<0.05). Significant changes in the histopathological features and MDA levels were observed in the mammary glands exposed to polyethylene (PE) plastic. Exposure to micro-nano plastics of PE type at a dose of 15 mg/m3 for 28 days differed significantly in the MDA levels of mammary glands, histopathological picture of mammary glands at cell proliferation events, both in the lactiferous ducts and acini cells. In addition, exposure to PE plastic has the potential to cause health problems in the breast organs if exposed for a long time and in excess doses.

Abstract

Cigarette smoke exposure significantly impairs reproductive function in Rattus norvegicus. This study evaluated the protective effects of black garlic extract against such damage. Using a post-test-only control group design, 25 female Wistar rats were divided into five groups and exposed to cigarette smoke with or without varying doses of black garlic extract. After four weeks, results indicated that black garlic extract significantly increased Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor expression, enhanced fallopian tube secretory epithelial cell counts, and reduced ovarian follicular atresia in rats exposed to cigarette smoke. The group receiving 50 mg/kgBW of black garlic extract showed the most significant improvements. Statistical analysis, including One-way ANOVA, revealed significant differences between groups. Normality was assessed using the Shapiro-Wilk test, and homogeneity was confirmed with the Levene test. Significant decreases in ovarian follicular atresia (p < 0.05) and increases in Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor expression (p < 0.05) and secretory epithelial cell counts (p < 0.05) were observed in the 50 mg/kgBW treatment group compared to controls. In conclusion, black garlic extract offers dose-dependent protection against cigarette smoke-induced reproductive damage, with 50 mg/kgBW being the optimal dose. Further research should explore molecular mechanisms, long-term toxicity, and clinical applications in humans.

Abstract

The role of partner and family in breastfeeding practice is still rare. Previous studies were more likely to discuss the impact of infant and mother factors. This study aimed to examine the role of partner and family factors associated with breastfeeding factors. This systematic review includes 18 journal articles from four databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, SCOPUS, and Scholar Google. The selection of journal articles was described in the PRISMA diagram. The findings revealed that the factors from partners including education, support, knowledge about breastmilk, age, and occupation, and factors from family and household including food security, family support, family intention, and type of family play a role in influencing the breastfeeding practice. Since this study only focused on partner and household factors, the findings emphasize the significant role of partner and family in improving the breastfeeding practice. The government and related stakeholders can take an important role in contributing to increasing the participation of partners or husbands in breastfeeding practices such give parental leave to support the wife during exclusive breastfeeding.

Abstract

Hypertension is the cause of death in Indonesia, with 23.8% of the 1.7 million population. Management of primary hypertension is non-pharmacological therapy carried out by modifying lifestyle, namely increasing consumption of nuts that contain bioactive components that are beneficial for sufferers of primary hypertension, such as edamame (Glycine max (L.) Merrill). This study aims to determine how giving edamame jelly reduces blood pressure in primary hypertension patients. This research was quasi-experimental and used a pre-post-test control group design. The study population consisted of outpatients at the Sumbersari Jember Community Health Center who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, totaling 42 subjects. Subjects were randomly divided into treatment and control groups. The intervention group was given amlodipine 5 mg/day and edamame jelly 150 grams/day. The control group was only assigned 5 mg of amlodipine. Statistical tests use the Paired t-test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and Mann-Whitney U-tests. The test results showed a significant difference in systolic and diastolic blood pressure between the control and treatment groups with a p-value <0.001. The median systolic blood pressure of the control group was 147.5 mmHg, and that of the treatment group was 130 mmHg. The median diastolic blood pressure in the control group was 90 mmHg, and the treatment group's was 80 mmHg. The reduction in systolic blood pressure in the treatment group was 17.5 mmHg greater than in the control group. The decrease in diastolic blood pressure in the treatment group was 10 mmHg greater than in the control group. Giving 150 grams of edamame jelly/day for 30 days effectively reduces blood pressure in sufferers of primary hypertension.

Abstract

Work fatigue is a condition that decreases a person's efficiency and endurance at work. It is caused by many individual and external factors, such as the physical work environment, namely temperature and noise. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the physical environment (temperature and noise) and work fatigue among gas station operator workers in Pontianak City. This research is an analytical observational research with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study was 147 gas station operator workers in Pontianak City, and the total sample was 60 respondents. The data analysis techniques used are univariate and bivariate analysis, and the Chi-Square statistical test was used for bivariate analysis. The research results show the relationship between temperature and work fatigue in gas station operator workers, with a value of p=0.003 and OR=10.286 (CI=1.940-54.527). There is also a relationship between noise and work fatigue in gas station operator workers, with a value of p=0.042 and OR=6.750 (CI=1.227-37.142). The conclusion is a relationship exists between temperature and noise and work fatigue among gas station operator workers in Pontianak City. This research advises that gas station operator workers are expected to consume sufficient drinking water while working, at least one glass of 250ml every 20-30 minutes or 2.8 liters/day, and can add a little salt to drinking water to avoid harmful effects such as dehydration. To reduce noise, you should use ear PPE, such as earplugs.
