Folia Medica Indonesiana, as indicated by its name, focuses on publishing good quality articles about research and education on health science and medicine in Indonesia. However, due to the fast growth of science and knowledge in these fields, we also welcome submitted articles from around the world, especially the ones that contain related matters from lower-middle income countries. Folia Medica Indonesiana is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal that is published online at least four times a year. The scope covers various aspects of basic medical sciences includes anatomy, physiology, pathology, microbiology, pharmacology, and molecular medicine) and clinical medicine (covers specialties like internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, oncology, psychiatry, etc). We highlight the pathology and potential treatment of metabolic syndromes and infectious diseases. Folia Medica Indonesiana also encourages the publication of articles about health education. The scope includes, but is not limited to, articles that emphasize on preventive education on certain diseases in a community, also research report of various materials and/or methods to develop medical education. We recognize the importance of this type of articles to be published alongside the assigned topic in each of our yearly issues, to provide our readers with updated information in medical sciences’ research and education simultaneously.

Abstract

Papua, the easternmost province of Indonesia, has consistently reported the highest number of new leprosy cases and leprosy-related disabilities for decades. Despite this burden, no comprehensive study in recent years has systematically examined the epidemiological trends of leprosy in Papua using large datasets. This study provides an updated analysis of leprosy elimination efforts and evaluates the province’s readiness to achieve the Zero Leprosy 2030 target. A retrospective descriptive epidemiological review was conducted using secondary data from the routine health information system of Papua Province from 2020 to 2024. Extracted variables included demographic characteristics, new case reports, diagnostic classification, disability grade, case-finding method, and clinical outcomes. Data were analyzed descriptively and presented in tables and figures to illustrate temporal trends. Between 2020 and 2024, a total of 3,909 new leprosy cases were reported, with fluctuating case detection rates. Multibacillary (MB) leprosy predominated, particularly among males, although females also contributed a substantial proportion of MB cases. Child cases showed an increasing trend, accounting for up to 20% of all new cases. Most cases were detected at Grade 0, with passive case finding as the dominant detection method. Treatment outcomes showed that approximately 70% of patients were released from treatment annually, but relapse and default remained considerable. These findings highlight that Papua is still far from reaching the Zero Leprosy 2030 goal. Strengthening active case finding, improving treatment adherence, reducing stigma, and enhancing reporting and evaluation systems are urgent priorities. Sustained political commitment from local leadership will be crucial to ensure the successful implementation of these strategies.

Abstract

Candida infections are increasingly common worldwide and represent one of the leading causes of death after cardiovascular disease. There are three types of candida that often infect humans, namely Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis and Candida parapsilosis. In the standard treatment used, immunity and side effects of treatment have been found. Therefore, other treatment options are needed, one of which is by using mace (Myristica fragrans Houtt) which is a native plant of Maluku and has secondary metabolite compounds that can be antifungal agents. This study aims to test the ability of ethanol extract of mace nutmeg (Myristica fragrans Houtt) with concentrations of 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% on the growth of Candida albicans ATCC 10231, Candida tropicalis ATCC 750, and Candida parapsilosis ATCC 22019. This study was conducted using the disc diffusion method (Kirby-Bauer). The results showed that the strongest inhibition zone was shown at a concentration of 100% against Candida tropicalis with an average inhibition zone diameter of 7.93 mm. Meanwhile, the lowest inhibition zone was shown at a concentration of 5% against Candida parapsilosis with an average inhibition zone of 3.25 mm. This research can be concluded that ethanol extract of mace nutmeg at all concentrations is able to inhibit the growth of Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis and Candida. parapsilosis.

Abstract

Effective study methods are critical in ophthalmology residency, which must balance cognitive learning with surgical skill development. This systematic review examined non-surgical cognitive strategies and surgical training techniques to inform curriculum design and enhance resident performance. A structured literature search was conducted in PubMed and Scopus (2016–2025) using keywords (“study method” OR “effective study” OR “learning strategy” OR “educational intervention” OR “training approach”) AND (“ophthalmology residency” OR “resident education”). After screening and applying eligibility criteria, 17 studies were included. Methods were categorized as non-surgical (n = 5) and surgical learning (n = 12). This review revealed that non-surgical strategies, including residents-as-teachers programs, journal clubs, and structured assessments, were associated with improved engagement, knowledge retention, and board exam performance. Surgical training methods, such as wet labs, mannequin simulators, remote virtual labs, enhance psychomotor skills and procedural competence. Resident-performed surgeries showed educational benefits but suggested that students require close supervision. In conclusion, effective ophthalmology residency training integrates structured cognitive technique with simulation-based surgical practice. Active learning improves academic performance, while controlled surgical simulations of these methods across programs may optimize educational outcomes.

Abstract

Excessive eccentric exercise often results in muscle injury, reflected by elevated serum creatine kinase (CK) levels and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). In Indonesia, coffee consumption after exercise has increased, with Dampit Robusta Coffee (DRC)—a local variety rich in caffeine and antioxidants considered a potential aid for recovery. This study evaluated the effect of DRC consumption on biomarkers of muscle damage and perceived soreness. A single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted on 20 healthy untrained men aged 20–25 years, allocated into treatment (n = 10) and control (n = 10) groups. The treatment group consumed brewed DRC (≈200 mg caffeine/day) for five consecutive days, while the control group received placebo (coffee-flavored water). All participants performed a modified YMCA step test as an eccentric exercise protocol. Serum CK levels were measured at 2 and 24 hours post-exercise, and muscle soreness was assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS). At both 2 and 24 hours, mean CK levels were lower in the DRC group compared with control, but differences were not significant (p > 0.05). However, analysis of CK change (ΔCK) showed a significant between-group difference, with CK decreasing in the DRC group but increasing in the control group (p = 0.031). VAS scores decreased significantly over time within both groups (p = 0.05), but between-group differences remained nonsignificant (p > 0.05). In conclusion, DRC consumption attenuated CK elevation after eccentric exercise, suggesting a protective effect against muscle injury, although its effect on soreness was inconclusive. Further studies with larger and more diverse samples are needed.
