Soy and Dragon Fruit Functional Drink : The Potential to Reduce Cholesterol Total Levels in Hypercholesterolemic Sprague Dawley Rats
Get PDFHypercholesterolemia is a lipid metabolism disorder characterized by increased blood cholesterol levels. The alternative functional drinks that can reduce cholesterol levels are beverage ingredients that contain flavonoids, such as red dragon fruit and soybeans. Flavonoids can inhibit cholesterol synthesis by inhibiting the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme. Soybeans are also have a hypocholesterolemic effect because they contain isoflavones. This study aimed to determined the potential of soybean and dragon fruit peel powder on the cholesterol levels of hypercholesterolemic Sprague Dawley rats. This study was a true-experimental design with a pretest - posttest with control group. The samples were 27 male Sprague Dawley rats, weighing 150-250 grams and aged 2 -3 months. The samples were divided into a control group and a treatment group that was given soybeans dragon fruit peel powder drink at a dose of 12.8 ml/kgBB/day for 14 days. Total cholesterol levels were measured using the CHOD–PAP method. Data were analyzed using the One Way Anova test, Post Hoc or Man Whitney test and Paired T-test. The results showed that there was a significant difference in total cholesterol levels in mice before and after the intervention (p= 0.003). Giving soybeans dragon fruit peels powder drink can significantly reduce total cholesterol levels in the treatment group (P) by 18.45% (p= 0.044)
Sensitivity Test of Herbal Extracts of Jarem Grass (Grona triflora), Meniran (Phyllanthus niruri), and Patikan Kebo (Euphorbia hirta) Against Terrestrial Bacteria
Get PDFSensitivity is the ability of a medicinal substance to kill or inhibit the growth of microbes. Meanwhile, intermediate is a condition where there is a shift from a sensitive state to a completely resistant state. Method research was experimental and several procedural processes were sterilization, making of MHA media, bacterial cultivation, and extract preparation. Result showed that the highest diameter of the inhibition zone for the extract was found in the Grona triflora extract in group 1, which was 35 mm and followed by Phyllanthus niruri extract in group 6 which was 29 mm. Furthermore, the inhibition zone diameter of positive control, ciprofloxacin and tetracyclines, were 40 mm. The active ingredients of Grona triflora are flavonoids, alkoloids, and phenolics and the components of meniran that are flavonoid and tannin compounds are estimated as the inhibition factor that cause the inhibition zone in the media. Finally, the inhibitory zone of grass jarem herb extract (Grona triflora) (EGT) and the inhibitory zone for extract of Phyllantus niruri (EPN) are called to have the similar level of sensitivity when compared with several types of antibiotics ciproploxacin and tetracycline which have the sensitive level ≥ 21 mm
Differences in Short-term Memory Before and After Exposure to Dangdut Music and Classical Music
Get PDFThe quality of education in Indonesia is still relatively low when compared with other countries. To improve student achievement, stimulation can be provided to improve learning abilities and memory abilities. The learning and memory process will be optimal if a person is in an alpha brain wave state (8 to 12 Hz). Music that has a tempo of around 60 beats per minute, such as classical music, has the ability to stimulate alpha brain waves. Dangdut music is more familiar to Indonesian people and there is dangdut music which can change alpha brain waves to be more dominant. This type of research is a pre-experimental design with a crossover design. This research aims to see the differences between dangdut and classical music in improving short-term memory. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling with a sample size of 30 people. Short-term memory measurements were carried out before and after receiving music exposure for 30 minutes. Measurements were carried out using the digit span test method. The result was that there was a significant increase in short-term memory after exposure to dangdut and classical music. The conclusion of this research is that dangdut music and classical music both have an impact on improving short-term memory abilities equally well
Optimization of Health Workers in The Implementation of Provider Initiated HIV Testing and Counseling (PITC)
Get PDFBackground: Provider Initiated HIV Testing and Counseling (PITC) is a service offering HIV testing by health workers to all patients in health facilities1. The quality of PITC services that do not meet standards is still a problem, thus becoming an obstacle to PITC services. This causes PITC user satisfaction to be low. The aim of this research is to determine efforts to optimize health workers in the implementation of provider-initiated HIV testing and counseling (PITC). This systematic research was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method to assess, review and synthesize research. Search through the database by entering the keywords "HIV", "HIV test", "Provider initiated HIV testing and counseling" "PITC", on PubMed, Science Direct, ProQuest. 9 research journals were selected after going through specified stages. Barriers for health workers are high workload, lack of human resources and not all health workers are trained in PITC. Optimizing PITC services in health care settings cannot stand alone, health services that are integrated with other health services require the ability of health workers to be able to offer HIV tests to patients. Optimizing human resources in the health sector can be done by increasing the ability of health workers to carry out PITC through good education and training. The complete implementation of PITC starting from the pretest and posttest will emphasize changes in patient behavior to improve their health status
Electronic Medical Record and Smoking Cessation Activities: Literature Review
Get PDFVital information regarding the life and health of a patient is gathered in medical records. The electronic medical record (EMR) is the product of medical record information technology development. Electronic health records and other health information systems have the potential to be useful tools for raising the caliber and efficacy of clinical interventions aimed at reducing tobacco consumption. Electronic medical records are used by doctors, clinics, and health care organizations to track patient smoking cessation outcomes and as a smoking cessation support tool. Thirteen papers from the Google Schoolar database and the reference lists of the included research were used in the review. We looked for research that was written between 2010 and 2020. Overall, these trials discovered that only slight benefits were made by several doctor-recommended therapies related to tobacco use. Following modifications to electronic medical records intended to speed up the collection and management of tobacco use during medical visits, there seems to have been a rise in the documentation of tobacco status and referrals for cessation counseling. To maximize the potential of EMRs for extra therapeutic advantages and smoking cessation in hospital settings, more research is required
Integrated Electronic Medical Record Design With Nutritional Screening System at NCC’s Teaching Factory
Get PDFOne of Politeknik Negeri Jember's Teaching Factories (TEFA) that offers community nutrition services is the Nutrition Care Centre (NCC). The design of electronic medical records (EMRs) for continuous care patients, especially those with non-communicable diseases, is being studied in order to meet the ever-increasing needs of health care, assist patients who require continuous care, and improve the way that modern medical technology serves humans. The Waterfall framework concept is used in the research process, and an electronic medical record system is designed in accordance with the goals and the overall architecture of the system. Black-box testing and white-box testing are then conducted to evaluate the features, dependability, and stability of the designed electronic medical record system. Furthermore, when combined with other research findings, the design's viability is demonstrated. It is evident that the electronic medical record system created for the study's patients who require ongoing care is entirely workable. As electronic medical records continue to develop, there will be more opportunities to research and enhance this system, which will benefit patients and hospitals alike in the long run
Electronic Medical Records (EMR) Using a Software as a Service (SaaS) with a Single Identity Number at the Polije Polyclinic
Get PDFManual management of medical records at the Polije Polyclinic causes long data retrieval time, misfiling, and requiring a lot of spaces for storage, thus hampering health services. Electronic Medical Records (EMR) are one type of medical record management that can be used to solve the issue. EMR is built based on Software as a Service (SaaS) which enables it to be used by all healthcare providers with minimal infrastructure and optimal data integration. The application used a single identity number for each patient, and it caused less redundancy in patient registration data. Developed using the Waterfall method, it was processed at several stages: analysis, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance. The EMR system had some features: recording history, diagnosis, and therapy. In the diagnosis section, the system had a disease code related to ICD-10. It can be concluded that the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) is ready to be implemented in the POLIJE polyclinic. The implementation of EMR is important to reinforce the Regulation of the Indonesian Minister of Health Number 24 of 2022 concerning Medical Records
A Prototype of MyoWare (Electromyography Muscle Sensor) for Measuring People’s Muscle Strengths
Get PDFHuman-Computer Interaction (HCI) becomes a solution to help humans connect with computers. Research and tools related to HCI have been developed by many researchers. HCI is able to help humans connect between humans and computers and humans with humans at a considerable distance. One of HCI model is applied to the MyoWare tool that can capture hand muscle movements using an electromyograph (EMG) sensor. This article describes how to assemble and identify the raw data generated from the MyoWare tool. Using MyoWare on the hand could produce EMG data output. MyoWare only used the EMG sensor and generated data in the form of Envelope EMG and Raw EMG which differed in scale and size. This required a extraction features process to make the data uniform. This study uses the Moment Invariant method to extract features and min-max to normalize each data generated on the MyoWare sensor. Testing was done by doing simple hand movements. The test results showed that the differences in gestures were recognized well even though they were performed in different positions
Factors Related to Hearing Threshold of Workers at PT. X
Get PDFPhysical hazards are one of the several types of dangers in Occupational Health and Safety. Companies or industries that use machines in their work processes have the potential to cause a physical hazard. One of the physical hazards is noise. Noise exposure can have an impact on employee health, namely hearing loss. A decrease in hearing threshold values can cause communication disorders and concentration problems. Variables of sound intensity, period of work, age, and disease history can influence the reduction in hearing threshold values. The results of a preliminary study on workers at PT. X indicates the sound intensity is above the threshold value, namely 86dB and 16.6% of workers experience hearing loss. The aim of this research is to determine the factors related to the hearing threshold values of workers at PT. X. The methodology in this research uses a cross-sectional approach. This study had 30 workers as samples using total sampling techniques. The results showed that the sound intensity factors (ρ = 0.030) and disease history (ρ = 0.013) were related to the hearing threshold value. Meanwhile, the factors of work experience (ρ = 0.704) and age (ρ = 1.000) are not related to the hearing threshold value. The conclusion of this research is that there is a relationship between sound intensity and history of illness with the hearing threshold value of workers at PT. X
Comparison of Mother’s and Toddler’s Characteristics Based On The Nutritional Status of The Toddler
Get PDFNutritional status in toddlers is one of the indicators used to describe the quality of toddler health. Toddlers’ nutritional status is interpreted based on some indices, namely weight for age, length/height for age, and weight for length/height Z-score. The nutritional status of toddlers is affected by various factors, both maternal and child factors. Anaemia and chronic energy deficiency during pregnancy affect a toddler’s nutrition status. Birth weight, exclusive breastfeeding, and complementary food may result in a toddler’s nutrition status as well. This study aims to compare the mother’s and toddler’s characteristics based on the nutritional status of the toddler. This was an observational analytical cross-sectional study. All data for the analysis of this paper were obtained from observations of the toddlers, interviews with mothers, and recorded data from KIA book. Toddlers’ weight and length/height were measured when the subject came to Posyandu. Questions about exclusive breastfeeding and complementary food were asked of mothers. Information about anaemia and chronic energy deficiency status was obtained from KIA book. This study used chi-square test to finds evidence that, on 88 subjects, there is no difference in anaemia and chronic energy deficiency during pregnancy, birth weight, exclusive breastfeeding, and complementary food among all nutritional status indices
