    Klebsiella pneumoniae can cause serious infections. The use of antibiotics is often an option in treating infections, but bacteria can adapt by forming biofilms. Therefore, the search for alternative antibiofilms from natural sources is important. One potential plant is karamunting leaves (Rhodomyrtus tomentosa (aiton) hassk). This study aims to describe the potential of the ethanol extract of karamunting leaf as an antibiofilm against Klebsiella pneumoniae. This study is an in vitro descriptive laboratory test. A thick ethanol extract of karamunting leaves was then prepared in three concentration variations: 62.5µg/mL, 125µg/mL, and 250µg/mL. The positive control used was meropenem, and the negative control used was DMSO. The parameter measured for the inhibition and eradication test was biofilm thickness, which was read using a 590nm Microplate reader. In this study, the percentage of inhibition in the three concentrations was 90.65% at a concentration of 250 µg/ml, 86.69% at a concentration of 125µg/ml, and 87.22% at a concentration of 62.5µg/ml. During the eradication test, the percentages obtained were -10.67% at a concentration of 250µg/ml, 3.58% at a concentration of 125µg/ml, and 68.23% at a concentration of 62.5µg/ml. The ethanolic extract of karamunting leaves demonstrates good biofilm inhibitory activity against Klebsiella pneumonia at all tested concentrations. At a concentration of 62.5µg/ml, the extract exhibits good biofilm eradication activity, while at 125µg/ml and in the positive control, it shows poor activity. Interestingly, at a concentration of 250µg/ml, the extract acts as a biofilm promoter, enhancing biofilm formation

    Hypolipidemic and Hypoglycemic Potentials of Garlic Extract in High-Fat Diet and Streptozotocin-Induced Wistar Rats

    Full text link
    Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose levels and often associated with hypercholesterolemia. Garlic (Allium sativum Linn.), rich in bioactive compounds such as allicin, saponins, and flavonoids, has been widely reported to possess lipid- and glucose-lowering properties. This study aimed to evaluate the hypolipidemic and hypoglycemic effects of garlic extract in Wistar rats subjected to a high-fat diet and streptozotocin (STZ) induction. A laboratory experimental design with a post-test-only control group was employed. For cholesterol assessment, hypercholesterolemic rats were administered garlic extract at doses of 0.05, 0.10, and 0.20g/head/day, while diabetic rats induced with STZ received doses of 100, 250, and 500 mg/kg body weight per day, with corresponding control groups. Garlic extract significantly reduced mean cholesterol levels in a dose-dependent manner (130.60mg/dL, 121.80mg/dL, and 112.00mg/dL for 0.05, 0.10, and 0.20g/head/day, respectively). In contrast, mean blood glucose levels showed a marginal decrease with increasing doses (282.80 mg/dL, 271.20mg/dL, and 269.27mg/dL at 100, 250, and 500mg/kgBW/day, respectively). However, no statistically significant differences were observed among groups (p=0.706, one-way ANOVA). These findings suggest that garlic extract exhibits a potent cholesterol-lowering effect in hypercholesterolemic rats but has a limited impact on blood glucose reduction under the tested conditions. Further studies are warranted to determine the optimal dosage and underlying mechanisms of action.

    The Effect of Mulligan Mobilization with Movement Modality on Improving Joint Flexibility in Gout Arthritis Patients

    Full text link
    Gout arthritis is a form of joint inflammation caused by the accumulation of monosodium urate crystals, leading to reduced joint flexibility, particularly in the knees. Non-pharmacological therapies such as the Mulligan Mobilization with Movement (MWM) technique provide a safe and effective alternative to enhance joint flexibility. However, the use of this therapy among patients with gout arthritis remains limited in primary healthcare settings. This study used a quasi-experimental design with 52 respondents divided into two groups: the intervention group (MWM) and the control group (Range of Motion exercises). Joint flexibility was measured before and after the intervention using a goniometer, and data were analyzed using statistical tests with a significance level of 0.05. The intervention group showed an increase in average joint flexibility from 123.85° to 140.19° (normal ≥140°), while the control group improved from 125.19° to 136.92°. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (p=0.034), indicating that MWM therapy was more effective in improving joint flexibility than Range of Motion (ROM) exercises. The Mulligan Mobilization with Movement technique significantly improved joint flexibility in patients with gout arthritis and is recommended as a non-invasive rehabilitation method suitable for use in primary healthcare services

    Higher Risk of Preeclampsia Among Overweight and Obese Pregnant Women Compared to Normal BMI Women

    Full text link
    Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication characterized by hypertension and proteinuria, affecting 2–8% of pregnancies worldwide, with a prevalence of 24% in Indonesia. Its etiology remains unclear due to its complex, multifactorial nature, and several factors, such as age, obesity, pre-existing conditions, and multiple pregnancies, may influence its occurrence. This study aims to investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and preeclampsia in pregnant women. An analytical observational study was conducted using purposive sampling, involving 18 participants in each group. Secondary data were obtained from medical records at Rumah Sakit Cipto Mangunkusumo, Rumah Sakit Budi Kemuliaan, and Puskesmas Senen. Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-square test. Results show that 17 respondents (47.2%) with overweight or obesity had preeclampsia, whereas 8 respondents (22.2%) with normal BMI did not. The Chi-square test indicated a significant association between BMI and preeclampsia (p=0.007). Higher BMI is significantly associated with preeclampsia. Maintaining a healthy BMI during pregnancy may reduce the risk of this condition.

    Measurement Accuracy of Foot Arcus in Children Aged 8-12 years: Mobile Application vs Goniometer

    Full text link
    Foot arch deformities are common in school-aged children and may interfere with posture and lower-limb biomechanics if left undetected. Preliminary observations at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Muhammadiyah Gonilan indicated that several students showed signs of decreased medial longitudinal arch, suggesting the presence of foot arch abnormalities in the school environment. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of a mobile application compared to a conventional goniometer in measuring the Clarke angle. This quantitative research used a cross-sectional design with a population of 150 students aged 8–12 years. A total of 109 children were recruited using nonprobability purposive sampling, based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Clarke angle measurements were taken using two instruments: the Quick Angle Physio mobile application and a standard goniometer. Data were analyzed using Spearman correlation because the measurement data were not normally distributed. The results showed a strong and significant correlation between the mobile application and the goniometer measurements (r=0.964–0.989, p<0.001). These findings indicate that the mobile application provides accurate measurements comparable to the conventional method. The mobile application may serve as an efficient and practical alternative for Clarke angle assessment, supporting early detection of foot arch abnormalities among school-aged children, particularly in school settings such as Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Muhammadiyah Gonilan

    Complete Atrioventricular (AV) Block In 15-Year-Old Girl: A Diagnostic And Therapeutic Challenge In Resource-Limited Setting

    Full text link
    Complete atrioventricular (AV) block is a rare and life-threatening condition in children, characterized by complete electrical dissociation between the atria and ventricles. Its diagnosis and management can be particularly challenging in resource-limited settings. A 15-year-old girl presented with chest discomfort, dyspnea, nausea, and vomiting. On examination, she was hemodynamically unstable with bradycardia (heart rate 48–58 bpm). Electrocardiography revealed a complete AV block with junctional escape rhythm. Further evaluation, including echocardiography, showed no structural heart defects and preserved ventricular function. Management included fluid resuscitation and dopamine infusion, titrated up to 20 mcg/kg/min. During titration, the patient developed ventricular tachycardia–induced bradycardia that resolved spontaneously after dose reduction. Following stabilization, the patient was referred to a higher-level facility for permanent pacemaker implantation and further investigation of the underlying etiology. This case highlights the importance of early recognition and timely intervention in pediatric complete AV block. In settings with limited resources, dopamine infusion may serve as a temporary bridging therapy when transfer is delayed, but careful monitoring is essential due to the risk of arrhythmias. Prompt diagnosis, appropriate stabilization, and early referral are crucial to reducing morbidity and preventing fatal outcomes
