Abstract

Prevention of the transmission of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is carried out by breaking the chain of dengue transmission and administering vaccines, but to date, this has not achieved the expected target. Dengue virus tests using RT-PCR require skills and relatively expensive equipment. Serological test of IgM and IgG often shows false negatives or false positives, especially in dengue-endemic areas. The antibody test against NS1 using the ELISA method has weaknesses because anti-dengue IgM is often not detected in secondary infections. The development of serodiagnostic tests for rapid, affordable, sensitive, and specific detection of dengue virus infection is very necessary. Recombinant multivalent envelope proteins domain III (ED-III) dengue virus is a biomarker that has the potential to be developed to detect all dengue virus serotypes. One of the proteins that has high antigenicity is glycoprotein E which is found in the envelope of the dengue virus and is the most antigenic part of the virus. This research aims to combine several parts of the antigenic protein found in all dengue virus serotypes as immunoserodiagnostic material. This research is an analytical survey research, that compares the results of the atypical lymphocyte test, RT-PCR, and ELISA using the multivalent ED-III antigen. The number of samples used was 26 samples obtained from patients who were diagnosed with dengue fever using an accidental sampling technique. The results of the atypical lymphocyte examination showed 14 positive samples, while the results of the RT-PCR and ELISA examinations were 23 and 24 positive respectively. The average Optical density (OD) of examination using the ELISA method was 1.902 with sensitivity and specificity levels of 92% and 96%. There is no difference result of the RT-PCR compared with the ELISA test. Therefore, recombinant multivalent envelope protein domain III (ED-III) dengue virus can be used as a diagnostic tool to detect dengue fever infection.

Abstract

Many studies of perineal wounds use the redness, edema, ecchymosis, discharge, and approximation (REEDA) scale as a healing assessment tool. Still, this tool has not become part of the standard of care in postpartum women with perineal lacerations due to the lack of evidence of its validity. This study aimed to analyze the consistency of the REEDA scale in healing perineal wounds of postpartum women. The method uses an observational study using the interrater reliability test for the REEDA tool on perineal wound healing in postpartum women with second-degree perineal lacerations, 11 women were recruited using consecutive sampling. Lacerations were observed by researchers, and midwives were trained on days 1, 3, and 7 postpartum. Cohen's kappa coefficient test was used to test the consistency of the REEDA scale. The results shows that the fair and excellent agreement on the redness item with kappa (0.57-1.00), agreement on the edema item showed good and excellent results (0.61-0.84), fair and good agreement on the ecchymosis item (0.51- 0.73), good and excellent agreement on discharge items (0.79 -1.00). On the approximation item (0.62–1.00), agreement improved to excellent at the final assessment. In the third evaluation, the scoring of all items showed good or excellent agreement between the raters.  The conclusion is  the overall assessment shows that the application of the REEDA scale is reliable because it shows consistency; namely, there are no more values with low agreement on the seventh day of the postpartum period.

Abstract

Adolescent girls in Jakarta face unique mental health challenges due to cultural, social, and environmental factors. Understanding their prevention needs is critical to inform targeted interventions. This qualitative study aimed to explore the prevention needs of mental health disorders among adolescent girls in Jakarta, shedding light on their experiences and requirements for effective support. We conducted a qualitative study in Jakarta, Indonesia. Participants included 4 counseling guidance teachers consisting of public schools, private schools, Islamic and Christian affiliated schools, 2 parents, 1 coordinator of the School Health Unit, 2 health workers who hold PKPR projects, and the supervisor in charge of the school health unit, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through focus group discussion and analyzed using thematic analysis manually. The study reveals that teachers and parents have varying levels of exposure to adolescent mental health information, with some offering counseling but not always tailored to girls' needs. Parents often rely on subtle cues to detect mental health issues in their daughters. There's room for improvement in addressing girls' mental health needs in schools, with specific training for teachers and more open parent-daughter communication. Further research is needed to ensure uniform support for adolescent mental health.

Abstract

Carnitine is a crucial compound involved in the transport of long-chain fatty acids across mitochondrial membranes, playing an essential role in converting fat into energy. One of the most accessible ways to increase L-carnitine levels is through the consumption of red meat, which is a more affordable alternative compared to supplements. However, there is limited information on the optimal amount of red meat required to reduce blood triglyceride levels. This study aims to compare the effects of 50 mg and 100 mg of L-carnitine derived from red meat on blood triglyceride levels. The research utilized a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design. Participants included individuals aged 30-60 years with high triglyceride levels, who consumed beef did not take anti-cholesterol medications or had a history of diabetes. They also agreed to provide blood samples after an 8-9 hour fast. A simple random sampling method was used, with the first and odd-numbered participants assigned to the 100 mg group, and the second and even-numbered participants assigned to the 50 mg group. A total of 38 respondents were involved, with 19 in each group. The results indicated that the mean rank for the 100 mg carnitine group (17.32) was lower than that of the 50 mg group (21.68), though statistical analysis revealed no significant difference in triglyceride reduction between the two doses. The conclusion is the 50 mg carnitine group exhibited a higher increase in triglyceride levels compared to the 100 mg group. These findings suggest that a 12-day intervention with 100 mg of carnitine may prevent an increase in blood triglycerides, while 50 mg may not have the same effect.

Abstract

Increased progesterone levels during pregnancy can lead to haemorrhoids, which require proper management to minimize risks to both the mother and fetus. Since haemorrhoidectomy is not a suitable option for pregnant women, alternative treatments with minimal side effects are needed. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Phaleria macrocarpa suppositories in reducing the degree of haemorrhoids in pregnant women. This study employed a true experimental design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of pregnant women selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using observation sheets and analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results study show that among pregnant women who used standard suppositories, 23 participants (71.8%) showed no change in the degree of haemorrhoids, while 9 participants (28.8%) experienced a reduction in severity. In contrast, all 32 participants (100%) who used Phaleria macrocarpa suppositories experienced a decrease in haemorrhoid severity. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference (p < 0.05) between the two groups, with a p-value of 0.0013, indicating that Phaleria macrocarpa suppositories were significantly more effective in reducing haemorrhoids compared to standard suppositories. The conclusion is Phaleria macrocarpa suppositories effectively reduce the severity of haemorrhoids in pregnant women and may serve as a safer alternative to conventional treatments. Further research with larger sample sizes and long-term follow-ups is recommended to validate these findings and explore the potential mechanisms of Phaleria macrocarpa in haemorrhoid treatment.

Abstract

Cemcem (Spondias pinnata (L.f) Kurz) is a native Indonesian plant that has long been used as a traditional medicine. The ethanol extract of S. pinnata contains alkaloids, carbohydrates, flavonoids, triterpenoids, steroids, tannins, resins, and saponins. It has proven antibacterial activity against gingivitis and periodontitis bacteria, such as Streptococcus mutans. This study aims to develop a toothpaste formula with the active ingredient of S. pinnata leaf extract with various concentrations of 5, 15, and 30%; evaluate its properties; and measure its antibacterial effectiveness against Streptococcus mutans. The research method used a quasi-experimental method with a post-test-only control group design. The S. pinnata leaves were extracted with 96% ethanol solvent using the maceration technique. The properties of the toothpaste were evaluated based on homogeneity, spreadability, foam height, viscosity, and pH. The liking test was conducted to assess color, taste, scent, and texture based on the perception of 30 panelists. Antibacterial activity was tested using the well diffusion method. The test results confirm that all preparation formulas are homogeneous, the foam height is in the range of 4.33 - 21.33 cm, the spreadability is in the range of 3.44 - 4.53 cm2, the viscosity of toothpaste is in the range of 20767-67600 cps, and the pH value is in the range of 4.82 - 7.59. The results showed that toothpaste containing 5% of S. pinnata leaf extract met the physical and pH requirements and was most favored by panelists. This formula also showed antibacterial activity against S. mutans with an average inhibition zone diameter of 7.72 mm ± 0.439. Based on the study's results, it can be concluded that toothpaste containing 5% S. pinnata leaf extract effectively inhibits the growth of S. mutans bacteria by 54.33% compared to the positive control. Further research is suggested to optimize the concentration of S. pinnata leaf extract to maximize its antibacterial activity, without affecting its physical quality and organoleptic acceptance.

Abstract

The type 2 diabetes (T2D) is still one of the world's public health problems. It needs serious handling and prevention efforts in the nutritional aspect. The high prevalence of T2D is related to the low intake of dietary fiber. This type of food has a low glycemic index (GI). Gayam is a high-dietary fiber material that can be used for the manufacture of flour and as processed food material for the high-dietary fiber cookies. The objectives of this research were to study the GI evaluation of cookies from gayam flour. Cookies were tested for chemical composition, and glycemic index. The glycemic index evaluation test used 12 volunteers taken from the healthy group/nondiabetic, normal nutritional status (BMI: 18.5-22.9), and age 19-55 years. The results of this study indicate the dietary fiber content of gayam cookies was 4.57 g/100 g and included in the category of high dietary fiber food. The glycemic index of gayam cookies was 43 and the low glycemic index category. The obtained results show for the first time the potential of gayam cookies in hyperglycaemia management. The conclusion of this study was that gayam cookies has high dietary fiber content and low GI level. Gayam cookies can be used as an alternative snack to control blood glucose levels in the prevention of diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Type 2 DM remains a challenge both globally and nationally, due to the high incidence of diabetic foot ulcers and patients with uncontrolled glycemia. This is due to poor self-care for foot care and glycemic control. Not treating them quickly will increase lifelong disability, depression, quality of life, and risk of death. Diabetic foot spa based on Orem Theory was tested for glycemic management and peripheral neuropathy in type 2 DM patients. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of diabetic foot spa based on Orem's Theory on glycemic control and reduction of peripheral neuropathy symptoms in patients with type 2 DM in the work area of East Denpasar Health Center I. This study used a pre-post quasi-experimental design with a control group of 64 respondents with a diagnosis of type 2 DM consisting of 32 control groups given foot exercises and 32 intervention groups given diabetic foot spa. Translated with DeepL.com (free version) Glucose meter, neuropathy symptom score (NSS) questionnaire, and 10 mg monofilament were used. This study consisted of univariate and bivariate analysis. Bivariate analysis used Dependent and Independent t-test to see the difference before and after diabetic foot spa intervention. The results showed that the effectiveness of diabetic foot spa in the intervention and control groups using independent t-test obtained a p-value <0.05 which states that diabetic foot spa is effective in controlling glycemia and reducing peripheral neuropathy in patients with type 2 DM. The conclusion of this study is that diabetic foot spa based on Orem's Theory is effective in controlling glycemic and reducing symptoms of peripheral neuropathy in patients with type 2 DM.
