Abstract

Anemia is a health problem in all age groups, from toddlers to old age. Adolescent girls are prone to anemia due to their monthly menstrual cycle, so iron supplementation is needed, one of which is Supplementary Blood Tablets. This study was to find out the influence of  the knowledge level about anemia and menstrual patterns on compliance of iron supplement consumption in adolescents at a public senior high school in Magelang. This analytical research was carried out in December 2022 using a survey method with a research instrument in the form of a questionnaire in the form of a Google Form which was distributed via the Whatsapp application. The sampling technique was probability sampling in the form of proportionate stratified random sampling with the inclusion criteria for young women, active high school students, menstruating, aged 15-18 years, as well as exclusion criteria for high school students who were not willing to participate as research respondents. A population of 500 students came from grades 10, 11, and 12 and was calculated using the slovin formula (e = 5%) to obtain a sample of 250 students. The research questionnaire was adapted from four different studies with a total of 39 question items that had been tested for instrument validity content using the Aiken index calculation, and all questionnaire items tested valid with results 0.8. The results showed that young women at a public senior high school in Magelang had a "good" level of knowledge about anemia with a percentage of 58.8%, 85.2% experienced normal menarche, 77.2% had normal menstrual cycles, 71.6% experienced dysmenorrhea, and adherence to iron supplement consumption was low. 84.4% of respondents "didn't comply" and 66.4% "forgot to consume" so it is necessary to increase socialization from health and education agencies regarding the importance of consumming iron supplement in adolescents . While the SPSS version 26 analysis was carried out using normality and homogeneity tests, non-parametric statistical tests were used with chi-square test yielded P values of 0.6240.05 and 0.2750.05, meaning that the level of knowledge about anemia and menstrual patterns had no effect on the adherence to iron supplement consumption in adolescents at a public senior high school in MagelangKeywords: knowledge of anemia, menstrual patterns, consumption compliance, iron tablets,  young women

Abstract

Pneumonia remains one of the significant infectious diseases in society, especially in developing countries such as Indonesia, with its prevalence continuing to increase year after year. Pneumonia caused by bacteria requires antibiotic treatment, increasing antibiotic use and presenting a risk of antibiotic resistance. Therefore, this study evaluated the use of antibiotics in hospitalized pneumonia patients, with qualitative and quantitative approaches using the Gyssen and ATC / DDD methods. The articles taken as research samples involve a publication period from 2013 to 2023. The data included include the Gyssen parameter, DDD/100, and DDD/1000 patient days. The synthesis showed that ceftriaxone and meropenem antibiotics were the top choices, with values of 1547.735 DDD/100 bed days and 3011.2 DDD/1000 patient days, respectively. Ceftriaxone was documented in 21 journals, while in 8 of 37 journals, meropenem considered antibiotic use in hospitalized pneumonia patients. Evaluation of the quality of antibiotic use showed the highest level in category (0) at 93.7%, followed by (IVa) at 67.6%. Meanwhile, analysis of bacterial resistance to antibiotics showed that Klebsiella pneumonia was the most resistant bacteria, especially to antibiotics carbapenems, ertapenem, doripenem, cephalosporin generation 3, extended-spectrum cephalosporin, and piperacillin/tazobactam, with significant values 0.05%. These findings provide deep insight into patterns of antibiotic use in hospitalized pneumonia patients while identifying potential areas for improving the quality of antibiotic use and treating bacterial resistance. Thus, this study contributes to efforts to optimize pneumonia management and reduce the impact of antibiotic resistance in the community.

Abstract

Self-Nanoemulsifying Drug Delivery System (SNEDDS) is a nanoemulsion system that can be used to increase the bioavailability of drugs that are hardly soluble in water and have low bioavailability. Oleic acid, a saturated fatty acid that is found in many vegetable oils, is an oil that is often used for the oil phase in SNEDDS. Therefore, this review article aims to review, study, analyze and explore the optimum formula of SNEDDS that use oleic acid as the oil phase. The articles were searched via Google Schoolar, Science Direct, and Pubmed. The total number of articles is 464 articles. The total number articles that include exclusion criteria is 453 articles. The total article that use is 11 articles. SNEDDS, which uses oleic acid as the oil phase, produces droplet sizes of 19.75-190.03 nm with a polydispersity index of 0.278-0.532. Zeta potential value, only 2 articles have a zeta potential value above +/-30, that is mefenamic acid SNEDDS and furosemide SNEDDS. Overall, SNEDDS which uses oleic acid as the oil phase has a better dissolution and bioavailability profile compared to the commercial product or the pure drug. If solubility and bioavailability increase, it can increase the pharmacological activity of the drugs

Abstract

North Kalimantan Province is the only province with a pandemic situation level in the medium level community transmission (CT2) category with an accumulated incidence of 24.1 per 100,000 population in 2021. The increasing incidence is accompanied by opinions of rejection in the community regarding confusion over Covid-19 vaccination at the start of the incident. , underlying the increasing morbidity and mortality rates as well as the decline in the country's social and economic activities. The Covid-19 vaccination program is an effort to reduce morbidity and mortality rates as well as restore social and economic conditions due to the pandemic. The aim of this research is to calculate the direct economic value of the Covid-19 vaccination program. Observational research with descriptive quantitative data analysis was carried out to illustrate this aim. Data collection was carried out retrospectively based on monthly reports from the Juata Community Health Center specifically for Covid-19. The sample inclusion criteria in this study were data on patients who were confirmed positive for Covid-19 in the North Tarakan District area in 2020 – 2022 and received therapy based on the guidelines or Guidelines for the management of Covid-19, 4th edition of 2022. The sample was divided into 3 vaccination periods with the number of samples for each were 77, 92, and 89 patients respectively. The direct benefit of the Covid-19 vaccination program is the difference in total costs between periods. The research results show that the difference in costs for periods I and II and II and III is negative, namely (-) IDR 12,697,280 and (-) IDR 494,660, respectively. Thus, from an economic aspect it does not yet illustrate the direct benefits of the 1 – 3 dose vaccination program. One of the reasons may be the inappropriate use of Covid-19 treatment drugs, namely oseltamivir. However, the incidence of Covid-19 decreased by 34.8% in period III (vaccination doses 2 to 3), namely 417. This shows that from a clinical aspect, the Covid-19 vaccination program is able to increase immunity.

Abstract

The incidence of HIV infections in Papua is currently on the rise, primarily due to restricted access to antiretroviral treatment and insufficient support and care. Additionally, there is a lack of awareness among residents in rural or mountainous areas about HIV/AIDS infection, as provided by healthcare professionals. Until now, research data have been scarce on the demographic characteristics, clinical features, and treatment approaches for HIV/AIDS patients in the interior regions of Papua. This data is crucial for devising strategies aimed at enhancing healthcare services for individuals affected by HIV/AIDS.Consequently, this study endeavors to gain insights into the demographic characteristics, clinical features, and treatment modalities for HIV/AIDS patients at the Regional General Hospital of the Central Papua Region. It employs an observational descriptive approach, utilizing medical records of HIV/AIDS patients who visited the Central Papua Regional Government Hospital in June 2023. The findings indicate that, based on demographic data, the majority of patients were, on average, ≤25 years old (60.8%), male (52.5%), married (56.7%), and the highest number of HIV/AIDS cases were among secondary education graduates (40.8%). The majority were employed (67.5%) with incomes below the minimum wage threshold (69.2%). All heterosexual patients exhibited behavioral risk factors, and 4.2% had comorbidities such as hypertension. Tuberculosis was the most common opportunistic infection (17.5%). The highest proportion of individuals with HIV/AIDS were in stage II (66.7%). The predominant antiretroviral treatment regimen was a fixed-dose combination (FDC) containing Tenofovir 300mg, Lamivudine 300mg, and Efavirenz 600mg. The duration of use of ARV therapy in people with HIV / AIDS is at most 1 month.

Abstract

The use of lubricant in tablet compaction can reduce both intergranular and granule to die-wall friction that in turen improve granule flow properties and reduce adhesion of granule mass to the die wall. However, the concentration and method of adding lubricants into granule mass has also been known to influence the physical properties of tablets, such as hardness, friability, disintegration time and dissolution. This study aimed to apply 2-factor-2-level-factorial (22) design to determine the effect of lubricant concentration in granule mass (factor A) and the granule mixing time (factor B) on the physical properties of granules and tablets of starfruit leaves (Averrhoa bilimbi L.) ethanolic extract and to obtain the optimum setting of both factors that results in responses that satisfy most of the predefined criteria. The factorial design was set as follows: (l) = 2.5%, 5 minutes, a = 5%, 5 minutes, b = 2.5%, 15 minutes, and ab = 5%, 15 minutes. The lubricant used was a mixture of magnesium stearate and talc in a ratio of 1:9. Experimental design and optimization were carried out using Design Expert 13.0 software with granule flowability, angle of repose, and compressibility, as well as tablet weight uniformity (%RSD), hardness, friability, and disintegration time as responses. Optimum results were obtained with 2.5% lubricant and 5 minutes factor combination. The verification test to the optimum parameters showed that the granule flowability, angle of repose, tablet hardness and tablet friability are within the prediction interval range (PI 95%).
