Abstract

One of the causes of obesity in Indonesia is poor consumption patterns, especially those high in sugars such as reducing sugar and sucrose. Indonesia's food diversity has the potential to be developed as a solution to obesity problems. The fermentation process is able to change the nutritional value composition, especially in reducing sugar and sucrose as healthy food. This research functioned as a preliminary study in the development of healthy snacks, especially for obesity, in terms of the presence and amount of reducing sugars and sucrose in cassava tape, gathot, and growol. This was carried out in two stages. The first stage was a qualitative analysis to examine the presence of carbohydrates through the Molisch test, Benedict's test, and Iodine test. Reducing sugar and sucrose levels were determined through quantitative testing using Nelson Somogyi with three replications for each sample. The research was conducted for seven months (January-July 2019) located at Universitas Respati Yogyakarta and Chem-mix Pratama Laboratory. Differences in reducing sugar and sucrose levels were tested with One Way ANOVA and continued with the Tukey test. Cassava, cassava tape, gathot, and growol contain monosaccharides and polysaccharides. Growol's reducing sugar content was only 0.32% (the lowest compared to other products, p<0.001) in line with the qualitative test results on Benedict's test. Sucrose levels from lowest to highest were gathot (0.78%), cassava tape (1.47%), growol (2.36%), and cassava (4.77%) (p<0.001). Growol has the potential to be developed as a healthy snack for obesity in terms of reducing sugar and sucrose levels.

Abstract

In this study, the primary objective was to assess the impact of teaching about hand washing and video animation on the knowledge and attitudes of UMY students regarding hand washing during the Covid-19 pandemic. A one-group pre-posttest design was used, involving 63 student respondents selected through simple random sampling. Data was collected using a questionnaire, and the findings revealed a significant increase in both knowledge (p = 0.031) and attitudes (p = 0.040) towards hand washing. The study emphasizes the importance of educating students about hand washing practices, as it is expected to benefit them in their future roles in healthcare institutions, contributing to improved infection prevention and control measures. It is worth noting that this study focused solely on knowledge and attitudes towards hand washing and did not assess actual hand washing compliance.

Abstract

Ziziphus talanai is an endemic plant species in the Philippines. Recently, this plant's phytochemical analysis revealed pivotal compounds with different pharmaceutical properties, including the neuroprotective activity in the mice cerebellum. Nonetheless, the scarcity of information on the neuroprotective potential of this plant has been a focal point. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the neuroprotective potential of Z. talanai extract against MSG-induced aberrations in mice. A total of 24 mice were distributed and administered 9000mg/kg of MSG (T-), MSG and 1000mg/kg of L-taurine (T+), 100% of extract (T1), MSG, and 25% extract (T2), MSG and 50% of the extract, MSG and 75% extract, and MSG and 100% of the extract. The results of the test crawling along the rope showed that mice treated with MSG exhibited anxiety-like behavior, while mice treated with L-taurine managed to surpass the atrocious effect of MSG. In mice treated with the extracts, it is revealed that there is anxiolytic effect that has direct relation between the concentration and results. The results of the Y-maze test obtained significant differences between the MSG-treated group versus extract alone, L-taurine, 50%, 75%, and 100% extract. Interestingly, a 75% concentration of the plant extract was the most promising of the group results. These justify the ameliorative potential of Z. talanai extract on the behavior deficits and cognitive impairment of mice treated with MSG.

Abstract

This study aims to assess the stress level of nursing students in different settings and their use of coping strategies during the pandemic. The researchers used a descriptive-correlation research design for 288 nursing students purposively selected for the study. The study took place during the academic year of 2022-2023. The study also employed three (3) research tools for the data gathering. It subjected the data to descriptive and inferential analysis using SPSS 23. In general, the study found that in terms of stress level, the nursing students remarked “moderately high,” as for the coping strategies, they “sometimes” used them. The inferential computation also observed significant variations in the stress level in the study in terms of gender, age, school, and year level. Moreover, there was a low positive relationship between the level of stress and the use of coping strategies among the nursing students. To confirm the connection, perceived stress and external stressors were significant predictors of the use of coping strategies among nursing students. The researchers then gave several implications at the end of the study.

Abstract

Unintended pregnancies and unsafe abortions remain significant global public health concerns, particularly in low-income countries. This research assessed the awareness, usage, and influencing factors of emergency contraceptives among women in the Ussa Local Government Area of Taraba State, Nigeria. The study employed a cross-sectional survey research design where 384 questionnaires were distributed among sampled women of the reproductive age group (15-49 Years) in the study area. The findings indicate that while roughly half of the respondents were aware of emergency contraceptives, there is room for improvement in terms of disseminating information about their availability and usage. Regarding the usage of emergency contraception, a sizable portion of respondents (34.3%) said they had used it, although the majority (65.7%) had not. Furthermore, formal sensitization on emergency contraceptives is lacking for a large part of the population, just as a significant proportion of respondents have yet to use them. The study also found that factors influencing women's attitudes toward emergency contraceptives in Ussa Local Government Area include economic constraints, knowledge gaps, moral beliefs, partner dynamics, social stigma, and the fear of negative health implications. Based on the findings of the study, the recommendations include enhancing health promotions by Health agencies in Ussa Local Government, encouraging parent-child discussions on reproductive health, engaging traditional and religious leaders in family planning promotions, establishing young girls-friendly centers, and implementing comprehensive reproductive health education programs to empower women and reduce unintended pregnancies.

Abstract

Renal dysfunction can be caused by antibiotic drugs like Gentamicin, which can induce lipid peroxidation, increase free radical synthesis, and decrease antioxidant activity, leading to kidney failure. In the antiques, Philippines, an endemic species of Ziziphus, Ziziphus talanai (Balakat tree), is used as a traditional medicine to treat kidney problems. Phytochemical screening of the ethanol leaf extract of the Balakat tree revealed its potential as a nephroprotective agent. Twelve 6- to 8-week-old male ICR mice were divided into four groups, and treatments were administered for 18 days. Gentamicin was administered intraperitoneally, whereas water, leaf extract, and garlic supplement were administered via oral gavage. The ethanolic leaf extract of the Balakat tree exhibited little potential as a nephroprotective agent at the single dosage used (0.3ml/20g bw), and further studies involving higher doses are recommended. These findings suggest that the ethanolic leaf extract of the balakat tree has potential as a nephroprotective agent. Further studies with higher doses are recommended.

Abstract

The part of food labels that states the amount of nutrients is called nutrition labeling. This comprises a list of components, a nutrition information table, health endorsement logos and nutritional content claims on product labels. Food labeling is an essential part of any product. As a food producer, it is not only legally required but also empowers customers to make informed food purchases and ensures the safe storage and use of their purchases. Students in food and nutrition should be knowledgeable in the topics of label reading, healthy eating, and how to use food labels as future nutritionists. With this sound understanding, they will be able to counsel their future patients on the proper use of food labels and, as a result, become change agents in the community. It can also help people live healthier lives if food labels are used appropriately. This study aimed to evaluate students’ understanding of food labels in home science. Using a descriptive cross-sectional approach, data were collected through purposive sampling. The findings indicated that among the 118 participants, the majority (98%) were aware of the food labels, although only about half could interpret all the information on them. The study suggests that although most students recognize food labels, they may lack a comprehensive understanding of the details provided. This underscores the importance of public awareness campaigns and educational programs to improve consumer knowledge and the effective use of food label information.

Abstract

Canarium schweinfurthii is used as a traditional treatment for diabetes mellitus in Nigeria and other African countries, according to ethnobotanical records. However, scientific evidence has not yet been published. This study aimed to evaluate the antidiabetic effects of Canarium schweinfurthii fruit pulp ethanol extract in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. A type II diabetic rat model (TDRM) was established via high-fat diet and Streptozotocin induced diabetes. Diabetic rats were randomized into five different groups; the control group (n = 6) (common diet) and high-fat diet (HFD) groups fed with ethanolic extract at 100, 200, 400, and 600 mg/ml (n = 24). At these doses, the blood glucose was lowered by 57.68% to 80.17%. For hypolipidemic test, total cholesterol was lowered from 162.33 mg/dL to 70.19 mg/dL; Glyceride from 166.91 mg/dL to 68.61mg/dL. Creatinine from 6.77 mg/dL to 6.42 mg/dL. Alanine Aminotransferase was 151.3 to 53.31 µI/L in 600mg group. Aspartate Aminotransferase enzyme decrease from 130.4 µI/L to 40.81 µI/L. This study confirmed the antidiabetic effects of Canarium schweinfurthii fruit extract.

Abstract

Picralima nitida (Apocynaceae) is frequently used in ethnomedicine to manage various illnesses. The potential and safety of P. nitida aqueous, unripe fruit-pulp extract were assessed. Unripe P. nitida fruit pulp was cleaned, dried to a persistent mass, and crushed to powder. Then, it was immersed in distilled water for 72 h, filtered, and freeze-dried. The study involved six groups of rats, each with an average weight of 160–185 g, who were given 200–3000 mg/kg of pulp's aqueous extract daily for 35 days, with weekly measurements of weight, fasting blood glucose levels, and feed intake. Blood samples were obtained for biochemical tests, and certain organs underwent histopathological examination. A considerable (P > 0.05) increase in body weight was accompanied by a significant (P > 0.05) decrease in blood glucose and cholesterol levels. The relative organ weights did not differ significantly at a significance level of P > 0.05. ALT increased as doses of the extract rose. Serum electrolytes were altered at higher extract concentrations. The urea and creatinine concentrations were not appreciably changed. The hematological assessment revealed no variations in the quantity of leukocytes (total and differential), but there was a significant increase in hemoglobin at low doses. Histopathological studies revealed heart myocarditis, kidney tubular necrosis, liver hepatitis, pancreatitis, and bronchiolar mucosa ulceration in unripe P. nitida fruit pulp extract at a dosage of 3000 mg/kg body weight. The findings revealed that unripe P. nitida fruit pulp extract is relatively safe at low concentrations.
