THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TROPONIN I (TNI) AND HIGH-SENSITIVE TROPONIN I (HS-TNI) LEVELS AND LIPID PROFILE LEVELS IN ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION PATIENTS

2024-12-19T15:14:18+00:00

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the leading cause of death in Indonesia, with Approximately 94.56 deaths per 100,000 patients. One of the important indicators in the diagnosis of AMI is increased levels of troponin I (TnI) or high sensitive troponin I (hs-TnI). Approximately 70% of fatal AMI cases are attributed to occlusion caused by atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is characterized by lipid accumulation. The study aimed to determine the relationship between TnI and hs-TnI levels with lipid profile levels in AMI patients. The comparative analytical study design used primary data from 35 samples at RSMC in February – May 2024, and used spearman-rho correlation test analysis. Most AMI patients were in the age group of 56-65 (40%) and the percentage of male AMI patients (68.6%) is higher compared to females (31.4%). High-sensitivity troponin assays detect troponins (100%) but at a much lower concentration than classical assays. Low HDL levels (74.3%) indicate that the patient is at higher risk of detecting AMI incidences. We emphasize no significant relationship between TnI and hs-TnI with lipid profiles on AMI incidences because of several factors; time examination, complexity in cardiovascular disease, individual variability in response to atherosclerosis, and myocardial infarction.

THE EFFECT OF LOW IMPACT AEROBIC EXERCISE ON REDUCING BLOOD PRESSURE IN ADULTS WITH HYPERTENSION IN JATI MELATI VILLAGE

2024-12-19T15:26:55+00:00

Background: Adulthood is the peak phase of human physical growth and the phase where a person is ready to enter society. Changes in lifestyle cause an increase in cases of non-communicable diseases. The increase in non-communicable diseases that often occur is hypertension. Hypertension is a major problem in world health. Aerobic low impact exercise is effective in lowering blood pressure. Lack of physical activity can increase the risk of hypertension. The heart muscle in inactive people will work harder when contracting because the heart rate frequency in inactive people tends to be higher. The more often the heart muscle receives a heavy load when pumping, the greater the pressure in the arteries, which affects the increase in blood pressure. Aerobic exercise is effective in lowering blood pressure in adults with hypertension. Objective: The effect of low impact aerobic exercise on blood pressure in adults with hypertension in Jati Melati Village. Method: The design of this study used a Quasi Experimental Design with a Pretest - Posttest with Control Group which was conducted at Jatimelati Village .

POTENTIAL USE OF SEAWEED AGAR AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR AGAROSE GEL IN DNA ELECTROPHORESIS

2024-12-19T16:19:04+00:00

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) has become the gold standard test in molecular diagnostics owing to its high sensitivity. The results of DNA amplification from PCR were visualised using gel agarose electrophoresis. However, agarose is expensive and creates an obstacle for molecular examination in Indonesia. This means that not all health facilities in Indonesia can always have a ready stock of agarose, so a replacement for agarose with a good enough result for visualisation with a cheaper one is needed. This study aimed to evaluate the potential use of seaweed agar as a substitute for agarose, and to optimise the optimal conditions for seaweed agar in DNA electrophoresis. This study used a true-experimental research method with a post-test-only control group design. We optimised several parameters of seaweed agar (Swallow brand), including seaweed agar concentration, TAE buffer concentration, voltage variations, and amplicon volume. All electrophoresis results were compared with those of the control. This study shows that seaweed agar can be used as a substitute for commercial agarose gel in DNA electrophoresis under the best conditions, such as using a 2% concentration of seaweed agar, 1x concentration of TAE buffer, 80 volts for 1 h, and 12 µL of DNA amplicons. The limitation of using seaweed agar is that the size of the DNA that can be detected is less than 700 bp.

2024-12-21T11:48:04+00:00

Introduction Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant public health problem, affecting more than 10% of the global population. This alarming increase is due to multiple factors, including an aging population worldwide and the increasing prevalence of metabolic diseases. Management of CKD and its associated complications is a major challenge of health systems due to the high cost of treating this catastrophic disease. Method A comprehensive search of the published literature in Scopus was conducted. The search strategy was designed to identify studies reporting the economic impact of CKD, as well as studies evaluating the cost-effectiveness of biomarkers for predicting CKD. Results The use of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and microalbuminuria, as biomarkers for predicting progression of chronic kidney disease is a cost-effective strategy especially in people with high-risk CKD population. This may lead to a reduction in healthcare costs associated with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), including the need for expensive renal replacement therapies such as hemodialysis, Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD), and kidney transplantation. Discussion The use of eGFR and microalbuminuria as biomarkers to predict CKD progression and patient outcomes appears to be a cost-effective strategy. Conclusions These biomarkers may improve early detection and management of CKD, potentially helping to reduce the substantial economic burden. Keywords: Cost effectiveness; eGFR; microalbuminuria

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a major public health concern in Indonesia, with increasing cases in recent years. Using synthetic insecticides in DHF vector control has caused negative impacts, prompting the search for safer alternatives. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of “Kemangi Gunung” leaves (Elsholtzia pubescens Benth) on mortality and morphological damage of Aedes aegypti larvae. The research employed a True Experimental Design with treatment groups exposed to “Kemangi Gunung” hydrosol (concentrations of 3.125%, 6.25%, 12.5%, 25%, and 50%) and control groups. Results showed that dried mountain basil leaf hydrosol was effective at 25% concentration with a 48-hour exposure time, killing 50% of test larvae, while fresh leaf hydrosol was effective at 50% concentration with 51% larval mortality. One Way ANOVA statistical test showed significant differences between concentrations (p<0.05). Morphological observations revealed damage to the abdominal region of larvae exposed to hydrosol. This research demonstrates the potential of “Kemangi Gunung” leaves as a natural larvicide for DHF vector control.

EMPOWERING THE INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES ON CLEAN AND HEALTHY BEHAVIORS THROUGH PODKESAD

2024-12-22T14:56:09+00:00

The Indigenous Community is a tribe of Anak Dalam in Jambi Province that is geographically dispersed across several districts, sub-districts and villages. One of the settlements of the KAT tribe in Jambi Province is located in Hajran Village, which is situated within the Batin XXIV sub-district of the Batanghari Regency. The KAT community is confronted with a number of complex social issues, including poverty, education and health. The prevalence of health problems in the KAT is attributed to the inadequate adoption of clean and healthy lifestyle behaviours (PHBS), which is largely due to an incomplete understanding of these behaviours. A deficiency in PHBS provides an opportunity for disease-causing microorganisms to gain entry. The absence of PHBS may be attributed to a lack of knowledge. It has been demonstrated that increased knowledge and changes in PHBS occur as a result of education. The use of educational media in the form of moving animations, attractive colours and audio-visuals has been demonstrated to enhance knowledge and behaviour. There is an enhanced awareness of PHBS as a strategy to prevent stunting. This activity is a community service program to enhance the knowledge and behaviour of remote indigenous communities with regard to clean and healthy living. A PHBS educational programme was conducted on 36 KAT individuals at PODKESAD Hajran Village on 23, 25, 27, 30 September and 2 October 2024 use of the media pop up book digital PHBS animation video. An evaluation was conducted using pre- and post-education questionnaires. The KAT demonstrated an increase in knowledge (76.2%) and clean and healthy living behaviour (77.9%). The empowerment of the KAT through PODKESAD can improve knowledge and clean and healthy living behaviour. It is anticipated that the Hajran Village government will provide guidance for the sustainability of PODKESAD, thereby reducing the risk of stunting through PHBS habituation.
