The Effect of Ultrasound and Core Stability Exercise on Increasing Lower Back Functionality in Adolescents
No full textBackground: Myogenic low back pain is a disorder characterized by pain in the lower back. Low back pain can have an impact on impaired functional ability. Some of the factors causing functional disorders are physiological factors, poor body posture, and unergonomic work postures. Adolescents are a group that is vulnerable to experiencing functional decline in the lower back due to pain in the lower back as a result of the demands of activity during the learning process, by spending most time sitting, and having busy learning schedules, which make physical activity tend to be low, which can result in decreased lower back functionality. The aim of the study is to determine the effect of ultrasound and core stability exercise on functional abilities in sufferers of myogenic low back pain in adolescents.
Methods: The research design was pre-experimental with a one-group pre-and post-test design. From a total population of around 100, after simple random sampling, 57 subjects were obtained with measurements using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI).
Results: The results of the normality test data analysis using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, ODI pre-test 0.072, and ODI post-test 0.157, and for hypothesis testing using the paired sample t-test P 0.000, so that there is a significant difference.

Neo Automatic Code to Improve Quality of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) in Society
No full textBackground: The quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in Indonesian society is poor. One solution is to give society a metronome called the Neo Automatic Code (NAC) to guide CPR when cardiac arrest patients are present. This study aims to analyze the effect of NAC on the compression depth and compression rate during CPR.
Methods: A quick experimental study with a control group design, where the population is chosen by simple random sampling to distinguish between odd and even. The population is health cadres and youth with an age range of 16-56 years. The intervention group gets training 2 times to do CPR with Neo Automatic Code, and the control group gets training in CPR using standard procedure. We use a CPR manikin to measure variables. Data analyzed used Mann Whitney.
Results: The Mann-Whitney test shows p = 0.001, concluding that there is a difference in the accuracy of depth and compression speed in CPR between the intervention and control groups. This means the NAC metronome can improve CPR performance in compression depth and compression rate. CPR uses a neo-automatic code metronome to ensure the user breathes regularly and helps the rescuer to constantly give compression.
Conclusion: Neo automatic code can improve the quality of CPR in Indonesian society. A study about how many times training must be given to society, considering age, level of education, and kinds of jobs, is needed

Effectiveness of Oral Herbal in Postpartum and Breastfeeding
No full textBackground: Health care during the postpartum and breastfeeding periods fulfils the needs of the mother and baby. \u27Jamu\u27, or herbal medicine, is often used for this purpose, but there needs to be more evidence of its effectiveness. The public\u27s insufficient understanding of herbal medicine necessitates a systematic review to assess its contents, benefits, and side effects. The systematic review aimed to examine oral herbal medicines during puerperium or breastfeeding, using the RCT method to provide evidence of IB levels in EBM.
Methods: Inclusion criteria were articles in randomised controlled trials (RCTs) to investigate the effectiveness of oral herbs during the puerperium and lactation. The methodological quality of articles was tested with the Jadad Score.
Results: The five (5) selected articles have good quality (the Jadad Score was 5–8). The study tested five herbs, including fenugreek, honey, bitter fennel, Brazilian propolis, barley malt, and Thai herbal tea "Wang Nam Yean" (a mixture of sappan wood (secang), bael (maja) fruit, licorice, ginger, and tuba (Derris scandens)). Comparators included placebo and other herbs or Domperidone. Most clinical outcomes involved successful breastfeeding, but complications, infant weight gain, and side effects were also observed.
Conclusion: Herbs can aid in healthy breastfeeding, but they should be taken cautiously and in conjunction with the assessment, counselling, and support of healthcare professionals. No herbal medicine has the best evidence-based practices because the evidence has not been applied to clinical practice, so changes in clinical practice results have yet to be documented
