Abstract

The Kalimantan galam plant (Melaleuca cajuputi subsp cajuputi) has been used for generations but its use is very limited, only as wooden piles which form the basis of buildings in swamps (cerucuk), pillars for building construction, stakes (supports for newly planted seedlings) and siring. Street. The use of galam essential oil as an active ingredient in peel-off mask preparations can be efficacious in reducing inflammation and infection of acne or other skin problems. Facial masks in the form of peel-off itself have many advantages, namely their practical use and are easy to remove or lift like elastic membranes compared to conventional masks which leave residue. This study aims to design a peel-off mask formulation by utilizing the active ingredient in the essential oil of the galam plant. The preparations were then tested for physical quality requirements including organoleptic tests, homogeneity tests, pH tests, drying time tests, spreadability and adhesion tests. The results of the tests that have been carried out include the extraction of essential oils as the active substance. The yield of essential oil obtained was 0.12%. Organoleptic quality tests showed changes in color, smell and shape in the three formulations. The homogeneity test for formulas I and II remained homogeneous, while for formula III the consistency changed to 2 layers. The pH test showed that all formulations met the pH requirements for topical preparations, namely 4-8. The drying time test for formula I was more difficult to remove, formula II was not too stiff while formula III was stiffer. Spreadability test on formulas I, II and III 5-7 cm. The gel viscosity test decreased and the adhesion test on formulation I was easily released, formulas II and III were not easily released while the irritation test of 30 people did not experience redness in 3 formulas.

Abstract

Cataracts fill the second priority eye disease in the world, it shows that cataract is still an issue that must be resolved. Knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of Indonesian citizens on eye health is still a concern that cause poorer vision impairment. Rate of cataract cases in this study is a bit high. Purpose. To find out the correlation of knowledge levels and attitudes of cataract patients to actions in performing cataract surgery at Konawe Hospital. Research design used was observational analytics with a cross-sectional approach and accidental sampling methods. Result shows that most of the respondents have a good level of knowledge (51.4%), as well as the attitude variable was good (66.4%). Processing data by chi-square test shows analysis test p-value 0.001, it means there is a correlation between the level of knowledge to action in performing surgery. The same results are also shown in the attitude variable with p value 0.000. Therefore, level of knowledge and attitude is an important basis for patients to have, before making a decision to perform cataract surgery. This study has a substantial impact to increase rate of cataract surgery in Konawe’s Hospital.

Abstract

COVID-19 is a respiratory disease with severe cardiovascular complications, one of them is pulmonary embolism (PE). Studies have shown many contributing factors related to mortality of hospitalized COVID-19 patients that developed pulmonary embolism. This study aimed to find the association between coagulation parameters (PT and APTT), C-reactive protein (CRP), and D-dimer with in-hospital mortality of COVID-19 patients with suspected PE. COVID-19 patients in Ulin General Hospital Banjarmasin who met the clinical criteria of suspected PE, assessed with clinical scorings (Well’s score for PE and Padua prediction score for venous thromboembolism), and receiving anticoagulant therapy recorded in medical records were included in this study. A total of 91 patients were included, with most patients were female (59.3%), average age of 53.36 years, average BMI of 25.82 kg/m2, having normal electrocardiogram (79.1%), with history of hypertension (56%), and no histories of smoking (94.5%), diabetes mellitus (70.3%), heart failure (93.4%), coronary artery disease (96.7%), and chronic lung disease (95.6%).  As much as 39.57% patients with suspected PE was deceased during the course of hospitalization. Unadjusted analysis showed significant increased levels of PT, APTT, and CRP, in deceased patients compared to those discharged alive (mean 14.62 vs 11.91 seconds, 42.94 vs 28.57 seconds, and 98.19 vs 47.01 mg/dL, respectively; p value < 0.01), and a non-significant increased level of D-dimer (mean 10.89 mg/L; p = 0.09). Multivariate logistic regression showed non-significant associations between PT, APTT, D-dimer, and CRP with in-hospital mortality (p values of 0.06, 0.14, 0.52, and 0.23, respectively). In conclusion, there is no association between coagulation parameters, CRP, and D-dimer levels with in-hospital mortality in COVID-19 patients with suspected PE.  A further study with a larger sample size is needed to see the role of laboratory findings in predicting in-hospital mortality in COVID-19 patients with suspected PE.

Abstract

Martapura river had been  discovered of indicators of microbial contamination of drinking water, namely total coliform and E coli which are harmful to health. CTPS program for elementary schools in West Martapura sub-district has been going  for  long time to prevent disease. Tihis study aimed to know the difference in the effectiveness of using Martapura river water for CTPS in elementary school children in Martapura Barat District to preventing E. Coli contamination. The research method used the true experiment method with a posttest only control group design research design. The research group named group (P1) CTPS using processed Martapura river water, group with hand washing soap (P2) CTPS using Martapura river water without being processed and group (K) CTPS with PDAM water . The research subjects were18  elementary student selected by simple random sampling technique.  The object study was the observation of the presence of Escherichia coli bacteria which were found from the hand swabs of elementary school children in West Martapura sub-district whose schools had treated water facilities and did not have treated water facilities. Also taking palm swabs for the research subjects, a quality test for PDAM water, Martapura river water and processed river water at the three elementary schools was carried out and examined at the Banjarbaru BBTKL-PPB Laboratory. The results showed that for CTPS water samples from PDAM water sources only counted 1 CFU E coli/100 ml, while CTPS water from the Martapura River and PAMSIMAS the number of E. coli colonies was > 200 CFU/100 ml. For all samples of palm swabs from the elementary school students, all results were negative for E. Coli CFU / cm2. The conclusion is that there is no difference in the effectiveness of using Martapura River water, both treated and untreated, in the CTPS program in reducing E.Coli numbers.

Abstract

Environment cleanliness has an indirect impact on nutritional status, particularly in the growth and development stages of children. In this study, school-age children living along the Martapura River's banks were asked to assess their nutritional health and the relationship between their drinking water sources. Study methodology employing a cross-sectional study design and analytical observational techniques. Research participants comprised 53 primary school students in grade 4 from SDN Keliling Benteng Ulu 2, SDN Keliling Benteng Tengah, and SDN Sungai Rangas Hambuku. Groups A (Martapura River water source group) and B (non-river water source group) comprised the seven groups of subjects: group 1 (very poor nutrition); group 2 (undernutrition); group 3 (normal nutrition); group 4 (obesity). Based on the data, it was discovered that 37 individuals (69.8%) had very poor nutritional status, and 39 individuals (73%), had the most commonly used gallons. The nutritional quality of primary school-aged children living along the Martapura Riverbanks did not significantly correlate with the sources of their drinking water, as indicated by the Fisher Exact test results, which revealed p = 0.146 (p > 0.05).
