Abstract

This Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic heavy metal that poses serious threats to environmental and human health, especially in Southeast Asia, where industrial, mining, and agricultural activities are rapidly increasing. Chronic exposure to cadmium can lead to kidney damage, bone disorders, reproductive issues, and cancer, especially in areas relying on local water and food sources. This study employed a systematic literature review method, analyzing relevant studies published from databases including PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect. Keywords used included "cadmium contamination", "soil pollution", "water pollution", and "Southeast Asia". Inclusion criteria focused on studies reporting cadmium levels in soil or water and their health impacts in Southeast Asia. Cadmium contamination was reported in multiple countries, particularly in Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam. The primary sources of pollution include mining, fertilizer use, and industrial discharge. In many cases, cadmium levels in soil and water exceeded safety limits set by WHO and national standards and Health impacts. Cadmium contamination in Southeast Asia is a critical environmental and public health issue. Consistent findings across studies highlight the need for better waste management, stricter regulations, and regular monitoring. Public awareness and targeted interventions are essential to mitigate exposure and protect vulnerable populations.

Abstract

Preparedness of pregnant women in recognizing danger signs during pregnancy is a crucial factor to prevent delays in the treatment of obstetric complications. The variation in results from previous research shows the need for in-depth analysis by combining sociodemographic, individual, social, and structural-systemic factors in one analytical model. This study aims to identify the related factors and determine the most dominant variables in influencing the preparedness of pregnant women. A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted on 121 pregnant women at the Dzakirah Clinic in South Tangerang using a total sampling technique. The research instrument has gone through a validity and reliability test process; all constructs are declared valid after one item on the anxiety variable is eliminated, and show adequate internal consistency (Cronbach's Alpha ≥ 0.70). Data analysis included univariate, bivariate (correlation test), and multivariate using multiple linear regression. Bivariate analysis showed that knowledge, family support information resources, cultural norms, healthy living behaviors, pregnancy app use, anxiety, information seeking, self-efficacy, social support, perception, attitude, and involvement in health programs had a significant relationship (p<0.05). Meanwhile, parity, income, and adherence to pregnancy screenings showed no statistically significant relationship. In the final regression model, the source of pregnancy information had the highest coefficient and became the most dominant variable in influencing preparedness. Preparedness of pregnant women is more influenced by access factors and information quality than demographic characteristics.

Abstract

Skin aging is a complex biological process characterized by oxidative stress, degradation of extracellular matrix components, increased activity of matrix-degrading enzymes, and altered cellular signaling pathways. Natural products rich in bioactive compounds, particularly antioxidants, have gained increasing attention as potential anti-aging agents. Indonesian local fruits are known to contain diverse phytochemicals, including flavonoids, phenolic compounds, xanthones, and carotenoids. However, their antioxidant and anti-aging properties have not been comprehensively synthesized. This study aimed to systematically review empirical evidence regarding the antioxidant and anti-aging potential of Indonesian local fruits. This systematic review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The PICO framework includes the following components: Population (P): Indonesian local fruits; Intervention (I): Fruit extract or fruit-based formulation; Outcomes (O): Antioxidant activity and anti-aging effects. PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar were used as sources to identify relevant articles using the keywords “Indonesian local fruit extract,” “antioxidant activity,” and “anti-aging.”  Thirteen in vitro experimental studies met the inclusion criteria. The findings consistently demonstrated that various Indonesian local fruit extracts exhibited significant antioxidant activity, with several classified as strong to very strong (IC₅₀ < 50 ppm). Anti-aging effects were demonstrated through inhibition of skin-aging-related enzymes, including elastase, collagenase, hyaluronidase, and tyrosinase. Additionally, several studies reported modulation of molecular markers associated with aging, such as increased Silent Information Regulator 1 (SIRT1) expression and decreased Matrix Metalloproteinase-1 (MMP1) expression. Indonesian local fruits exhibit considerable antioxidant capacity and anti-aging potential based on in vitro evidence.

Abstract

Quality of service in the Emergency Department (ER) of a hospital is required to be fast, effective, and efficient. Overcrowding in the ER must be resolved as quickly as possible to ensure the workload is distributed effectively and the room is not overcrowded with healthcare workers, patients, and their families. Several methods used to alleviate overcrowding in the ER include speeding up/simplifying patient registration, triaging/sorting patients, and shortening patient waiting times by transferring patients to other rooms such as the ward, intensive care unit (ICU), inpatient wards, or other rooms. The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors contributing to patient waiting times in the ER of a hospital in the Bali Province. The factors influencing patient waiting times in the ER include registration time, triage time, consultation time for the attending physician, waiting time for laboratory results, waiting time for radiology results, and waiting time for transfer to the next room. This research method was comparative analytic with a cross-sectional design. The multivariate analysis used was logistic regression. Data collection involved observing factors affecting ER waiting times, with findings recorded on observation sheets. This study employed a purposive sampling technique, involving a total of 98 patients as respondents. Multivariate analysis revealed that the time of patient transfer to the next room was the most dominant factor associated with patient waiting times in the Emergency Department (ER), with an OR of 17.16 at a 95% confidence level. The conclusion of this study is that patient transfer time is a dominant factor affecting waiting times.

Abstract

Cutaneous ulcers are commonly caused by bacterial infections, most frequently Staphylococcus aureus. However, infection caused by Pseudomonas putida is extremely rare in humans. Pseudomonas putida is a gram-negative, obligate aerobic bacterium widely found in soil, water, and moist environments and is generally considered non-pathogenic. Nevertheless, under certain conditions, it may act as an opportunistic pathogen and cause infection, particularly in the presence of open wounds or environmental exposure. This report describes a rare case of a cutaneous ulcer caused by Pseudomonas putida in a 26-year-old male laborer. The patient presented with multiple painful ulcers with erythematous edges and purulent discharge on the anterior and lateral regions of the left foot. The lesions initially developed after minor trauma caused by a plant prick while working in a rice field. Laboratory investigations including pus culture revealed growth of Pseudomonas putida without fungal infection. Antibiotic susceptibility testing showed sensitivity to amikacin, gentamicin, and meropenem. The patient was treated with oral ciprofloxacin, topical gentamicin, analgesics, and saline compresses, resulting in gradual clinical improvement with resolution of the ulcers and residual hyperpigmented macules.

Abstract

Prolonged labor remains a primary risk factor contributing to the rising rates of cesarean sections. This condition is commonly triggered by inadequate uterine contractions or pelvic disproportion, which, if left unmanaged, can jeopardize the safety of both mother and fetus. Given the importance of maintaining a physiological (normal) birth process, this study aims to examine the effectiveness of date consumption as a natural alternative for strengthening contractions. The active compounds in dates play a vital role in optimizing uterine function mimicking the effects of the hormone oxytocin making this research strategically significant in efforts to reduce invasive medical interventions during childbirth of this study was to determine the effectiveness of dates on the duration of active phase I and phase II labor at the Pondok Gede Bekasi TPMB. Was a quasi-experimental study with a post-test with control group design. The research sample involved 64 respondents divided into two groups. One group was given date fruit intervention, and one control group was only given sweet tea. The sampling technique used purposive sampling. Data analysis used the Independent Sample T-test because the data were normally distributed. The results showed that dates were effective in reducing the duration of active phase I labor with a p-value = 0.000 (<0.05), but were not effective in reducing the duration of stage II labor in mothers in labor because they had a p-value of 0.327 (>0.05).

Abstract

In 2023, Indonesia’s population of children under five reached 30.2 million. Current data indicates that 33.44% of early childhood individuals are exposed to digital devices, with many facing risks of psychological, cognitive, and socio-emotional impairments. Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between gadget screen exposure and the developmental status of children aged 12–72 months. A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted at Posyandu Puskesmas Pulo Gadung, East Jakarta, in 2025. A sample of 60 respondents was selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Pre-Screening Developmental Questionnaire (KPSP) and a maternal questionnaire regarding gadget usage. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate (Chi-square) analysis. Bivariate analysis revealed a significant relationship between gadget exposure and developmental status ($p < 0.05$). High gadget exposure was predominantly associated with "doubtful" or "deviant" developmental outcomes. Excessive gadget use negatively impacts child development. It is crucial for health workers and parents to implement early stimulation and strict screen-time monitoring to ensure optimal growth.

Abstract

Fermented rice water (FRW) has been traditionally used for skin care, but its biological mechanisms on fibroblasts, key cells in wound healing, have not been fully characterized. This systematic review aims to evaluate the efficacy of FRW on fibroblast proliferation and migration and to identify the molecular pathways involved. A literature search was conducted through PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar using the keywords "fermented rice water," "fibroblast," and "wound healing" in publications from 2015 to 2025. Studies were included if they evaluated the effects of FRW on fibroblasts in vitro or in vivo. Risk of bias was assessed using SYRCLE RoB (Risk Of Bias). Four studies met the inclusion criteria. FRW increased fibroblast viability by up to 116% and accelerated diabetic wound closure from 27% to 71% compared to controls. Molecular analysis showed upregulation of Collagen I mRNA by 17%, Collagen III by 47%, and Elastin by 159%. FRW activated the NRF2 pathway, which increased the expression of antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, HO-1) and decreased inflammatory mediators including TNF-α, NF-κB, and MMP-1. Bioactive metabolites from Lactobacillus plantarum, Bacillus cereus, and Aspergillus oryzae played a role in these therapeutic effects. FRW shows potential as a fibroblast bio-stimulator through multi-pathway modulation involving extracellular matrix synthesis, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects, with prospects for application in chronic wounds and anti-aging that require further clinical validation.
