Abstract

Hemoglobin is an iron-rich protein in red blood cells responsible for oxygen transport from the lungs to body tissues. Iron, along with vitamin B12 and folic acid, is essential for hemoglobin formation, with iron being a key component in heme production. Consuming instant noodles more than twice a week can increase the risk of metabolic disorders, such as obesity, high blood pressure, elevated blood sugar, and cholesterol. This study aimed to assess the hemoglobin levels of STIKES Panrita Husada Bulukumba students who consume instant noodles regularly. A descriptive cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted with 25 respondents. The results revealed a range of hemoglobin levels, with a low value of 8.0 g/dl, a normal value of 13.1 g/dl, and a high value of 16.1 g/dl, with a standard deviation of 2.04. The study found significant variation in hemoglobin levels among the students, with some indicating potential anemia and others suggesting polycythemia. This supports previous studies linking regular instant noodle consumption to malnutrition, particularly iron deficiency anemia.

Abstract

Conventional cigarettes and electronic cigarettes (vapes) have become significant topics concerning their impact on health, including cholesterol levels. Nicotine in cigarettes can increase catecholamine secretion, triggering lipolysis and elevating cholesterol levels. High cholesterol levels may lead to atherosclerosis, posing a risk of coronary heart disease. Objective: This study aims to compare cholesterol levels between active conventional smokers and active electronic smokers among adolescents. Methods: This research utilized a laboratory observation design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 30 adolescents, including 15 conventional smokers and 15 electronic smokers, selected using a purposive sampling technique. Results: Among conventional smokers, 13.3% had above-normal cholesterol levels, while this figure reached 40.0% for electronic smokers. The Mann-Whitney test revealed a p-value of 0.033 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference in cholesterol levels between the two groups. Conclusion: Electronic smokers exhibited higher cholesterol levels compared to conventional smokers. This finding suggests that electronic cigarette consumption poses a greater risk for elevated blood cholesterol levels.

Abstract

Crystals are formed about the concentration of various salts in the urine related to the patient's food metabolism and fluid intake and the impact of changes that occur in the urine after sample collection (i.e. changes in pH and temperature that change the solubility of salts in the urine and result in crystal formation). Calcium oxalate crystals are most commonly found in acidic and neutral urine. The most common form is the dihydrate form, colored crystals that resemble an envelope. This type of crystal is found in normal urine, especially after consuming large doses of ascorbic acid or foods rich in oxalic acid. This study used a descriptive research design. Urine sediment examination is one type of routine urine examination that uses a microscopic method using a microscope instrument. The results obtained from 36 urine samples of dug well water consumption showed 5 samples (13.9%) positive for calcium oxalate crystals, while 31 samples (86.15%) were negative for calcium oxalate. Based on the results of the study, it showed the presence of calcium oxalate crystals in the urine of residents who consumed boiled dug well water in Dampang Village, Bulukumba Regency.

Abstract

Blood glucose is a sugar found in the blood that is formed from Carbohydrates in food that are absorbed in large quantities into the blood and converted in the heart. In blood sampling alcohol is used to clean and disinfect the skin area before injection. This helps reduce the risk of infection by killing germs on the skin's surface. This study aims to determine the differences in the results of glucose level determination using the POCT device on specimens taken when the finger is dry and when the finger is still wet with 70% alcohol cotton. This study uses a laboratory experimental research design. The population of this study were students of Stikes Pantita Husada Bulukumba and the sample of this study was 53 capillary blood samples. The results of this study indicate that there is a significant difference in glucose levels in specimens taken when the fingers were dry and those that were still wet with 70% alcohol cotton. The results of the statistical test show that each data is normally distributed which meets the requirements for conducting the Wilcoxon test. The final results show a p-value of 0.000 <0.05, meaning that there is a significant difference in the average or a significant difference in specimens taken when the fingers were dry and those that were still wet. Conclusion: Based on the research conducted, it can be concluded that there is a difference in glucose levels between specimens taken when the fingers were dry and those that were still wet.

Abstract

Typhoid fever is a systemic infectious disease characterized by fever and abdominal pain due to the spread of Salmonella bacteria. Lymphocytes are a type of agranulocyte leukocytes that have various functional roles related to immune reactions to attacks by microorganisms, foreign macromolecules, and cancer cells. The purpose of this research is the describe of lymphocyte levels in typhoid fever patients at H. Andi Sultan Daeng Radja Regional Hospital, Bulukumba Regency. This study is descriptive to see the picture of lymphocyte levels in typhoid fever patients. This study uses a total sampling technique where the samples taken were 50 patients. The results of the study showed that 22 patients (44%) had high lymphocytes (lymphocytosis), 11 patients (22%) had normal lymphocytes, and 17 patients (34%) had low lymphocytes (lymphopenia). Of the 50 patients, 22 patients (44%) had a high lymphocyte count (lymphocytosis), based on age and gender, the largest number were those aged <11 years, 27 people (54%), and 29 women (58%).
