Full text linkBackground: Inappropriate use of medicines in self-medication practice will cause drug-related problems due to limited knowledge about drugs and their use. Family medicinal plants (TOGA) can be an alternative to traditional medicine for safer self-medication practices.Objectives: This research aims to analyze the influence of health education using herbal e-catalogue media in increasing public knowledge and interest regarding the use of family medicinal plants (herbs) for rational self-medication practices.Methods: The design of this research is Quasi Experimental with a pretest-posttest control group design. Knowledge measurements were carried out twice, namely before the intervention and three weeks after the intervention. The intervention was carried out 3 times with an interval of one week. The sampling technique is purposive sampling. The instrument used in the research was a validated questionnaire. Data analysis to see differences in scores of people\u27s knowledge and interest in using herbs for self-medication in the treatment group and control group was analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. To see the effect of using the Herbal e-catalog media, analysis was carried out using the Mann-Whitney test.Results: The research results showed that there was a significant difference in the pretest and posttest results in the control group and intervention group with a value (p value = 0.000), but there was no difference in knowledge about the use of herbs for self-medication in the two groups (p value = 0.664).Conclusions: Health workers need to provide education to the public so that public knowledge about the use of traditional medicine in self-medication practices can provide the expected therapeutic results
The Role of Community Pharmacists in Drug Information Services in Lamongan During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Full text linkInformation about drugs has spread widely across social media platforms during the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in drug panic buying. However, public awareness and understanding about how to use drugs properly remains low. This phenomenon may lead to medication errors. Community pharmacists can provide information about the rational use of drugs though a differential diagnosis approach by comparing clinical symptoms of similar minor illnesses to increase patient safety in taking medication. This research aimed to investigate drug information services and the ideal components of counselling, information, and education (KIE) carried out by community pharmacists in drugstores during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Effect of Visual Media Education in the Management Therapy on the Level of Knowledge of Patients Diabetes Mellitus with Comorbid
No full textDiabetes Mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia that occurs due to abnormalities in insulin secretion, insulin action or both and is often accompanied by increased blood pressure. One of the drug-related problems that are frequently encountered is patient non-compliance in taking drugs. This can occur due to a lack of knowledge about managing pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies, making therapeutic outcomes difficult. This study aims to determine the effect of visual media education on managing pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment on the level of knowledge of type 2 DM patients with comorbid hypertension. This type of research is quasi-experimental, with pretest and posttest designs without a control group design. The research sample is the age group that has the age of 18-68 years, as many as 123 people using Purposive Sampling. The results showed that the level of knowledge before being given education was in a good category (4.81%), sufficient (42.29%), and less (52.90%). After being given education visual media, there was an increase in knowledge results for the good (74.25%), sufficient (18.14%) and poor (7.61%) categories. The results of the Wilcoxon test analysis obtained a p-value (0.000) < (0.005), which means that there is an effect of visual media education on the level of knowledge of type 2 DM patients with comorbid hypertension. Through the results of this study, it is hoped that pharmacists can provide ongoing educational counselling to chronic disease patients receiving polypharmacy to prevent drug-related problems
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Polimorfisme CYP2C19*2 Terhadap Agregasi Platelet Dan Kejadian Kardiovaskular Pada Pasien Penyakit Jantung Koroner
Full text linkCoronary Heart Disease (CHD) is a cardiovascular disease that can caused by the
presence of coronary artery plaque blockage. Clopidogrel is one of antiplatelet therapy in
CHD patients. CYP2C19 *2 polymorphisms can reduce the effectiveness of clopidogrel active
metabolites. This research was conducted at RSUD Sidoarjo East Java from November to
December 2017continued monitoring of cardiovascular events to March 2018. The research
method used is a method Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and the Light Transmittance
Aggregometry (LTA) method for platelet aggregation measurement. From 25 sample
inclusion,there are wild type alleles (bp values around 120 bp; 1 patient), homozygous alleles
(bp values around 169 bp; 18 patients) and allele heterozygotes (bp values around 120bp,
169bp; 6 patients). The most common type of polymorphism is allele homozygotes. There is one
patient hyperaggregation and cardiovascular events after being monitored for 3 months.
Analysis relationship between CYP2C19*2 genetic polymorphisms with platelet aggregation
and cardiovascular events, using the kruskal wallis test. The result is no significant relationship
between CYP2C19*2 polymorphisms with platelet aggregation (p=0.512), as well as
cardiovascular events did not make any difference which is also significant (p=0.426). The
results of the association of platelet aggregation with cardiovascular events showed significant
differences (p=0.027)
