Abstract : Despite the continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) indicated on patients with severe (Grade 4) hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD), the mortality rate is high. The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of CRRT in earlier stages of severe HFMD pediatric patients on improving their mortality. A retrospective, case series study was conducted on severe HFMD cases diagnosed clinically, confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay and received CRRT. Variables were recorded at: Pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admission, CRRT initiation and 16 hours after CRRT intervention. Data were processed and analyzed using STATA version 14.0. Thirty-eight eligible cases were included in the study. The mean age was 25.3 months; the male:female ratio was 1.5. Most cases were admitted within the first 3 day of illness (94.7%). The rate of HFMD grade 3 and grade 4 indicated CRRT was about 26.3% and 73.7% respectively. Vital signs, hematological and biochemical parameters improved significantly after 16 hours of CRRT. The average duration of CRRT was 2.4 ± 0.7 days. The survival rate of cases with HFMD grade 3 was 82.1% higher than that of cases with HFMD grade 4 at 40% significantly. The overall survival rate of HFMD patients indicated CRRT was about 71%. The CRRT could be considered as one of the measures contributing to the improvement of mortality rate in patients with severe HFMD. Early indication of CRRT can greatly improve clinical outcome in severe HFMD patients.
Abstract : Education is an effort to influence individuals, groups, and communities to have knowledge that can be used to improve health status. In implementing education, learning media can be used, one of which is using an android application. Information on women's reproductive health, especially leukorrhea, is very important for women, especially pregnant women, because of the various effects. This study aims to determine the effect of education on increasing pregnant women's knowledge about leukorrhea using the Mapaccing application. This study used a pre-experimental method (one group pre-test and post-test design). The number of samples is 30 taken using the accidental sampling technique. In the first stage, the socialization of the use of the Mapaccing application was carried out for two days. The Mapaccing application is installed on their respective Android phones. The mother was then reminded to read and study the leukorrhea material every day for two weeks, with 10 minutes of studying/reading. Based on the research results, it was obtained that the pre-test value was 74.66 and the post-test score was 100, there was an increase in knowledge of 25.34%, with a P-value of 0.000 smaller than the value of α 0.05. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the Android-based Mapaccing educational media application increases the knowledge of pregnant women about leukorrhea.
Abstract : Fluor albus is not a disease but a sign and symptom of the female reproductive organs' disease. Fluor albus is also a side effect of using hormonal contraceptives. This research aims to analyze hormonal KB (Family Planning) acceptors' knowledge about fluorine albus using the Android-based Mapaccing application. The Mapaccing application is an educational media about fluorine albus designed in the form of an Android-based application, utilizing internet media that allows creating a learning experience for its users. The method used in this study was the Pre Experiment (one group pre and post). The sampling technique used accidental sampling. Calculation of the sample using the Slovin formula, the number of samples was 30 acceptors of hormonal KB (Family Planning). The education implementation is carried out for two weeks, with two meetings per week and a meeting session length of 60 minutes. This research was conducted in the working area of Puskesmas Tamalanrea Makassar. Statistical test results show that the Android-based Mapaccing application uses increased knowledge by 27%. There was a difference in the mean knowledge of hormonal KB (Family Planning) acceptors with a value of 0.000 <0.05 using the Android-based Mapaccing application with the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test. The Android-based Mapaccing application effectively increases acceptor KB mothers' knowledge, favored by KB acceptors. It has material coverage that is easy to understand and an attractive appearance. Keyword
Abstract : - The disaster's fundamental impact is the emergence of health and nutrition problems among disaster victims, especially those with nutrition vulnerability, namely infants and toddlers. Providing food assistance in instant noodles, instant porridge, or rice is less effective because it requires processing before consumption. Cookies are a food product that the community is well accepted, including being used as emergency food products. The research design used a quasi-experiment pre-test to compare children's nutritional status under five in the intervention and control groups. The sample was 30 toddlers per group. The total sample was 60 for 15 days of intervention. The data collected were sample characteristics, food intake, nutritional status, proximate analysis, protein. Food intake before the intervention, namely energy (p = 0.874), protein (p = 0.873), fat (p = 0.6630, carbohydrates (p = 0.542), fiber (p = 0.677), there was no significant difference, while for energy ( p = 0.718), fat (p = 0.309), carbohydrates (p = 0.074), fiber (p = 0.211) there were no significant differences. There is a difference in nutritional status on the weight/age index before and after the intervention (p = 0.035). Note that on the index height / age (p = 0.240) and index weight / height (p = 0.678) there is no difference. The highest protein score calculation for Cookies products is Laucyn at 136.69, while the limiting amino acid lies in Sulfur Amino Acid (SAA) at 72.84.
Abstract : The pattern of food consumption and a wrong lifestyle can spur the emergence of oxidative stress, especially in adult humans. Oxidative stress can be inhibited by consuming foods that contain high antioxidants. Red dragon fruit contains a high source of antioxidants. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of red dragon fruit (Hylocereus costaricensis) as a functional food in maintaining lipid profile levels under normal conditions (prevention of dyslipidemia) in adults. This study is a clinical experimental study with a pre and posts randomized controlled group design. This research used a quantitative analytic research type with an experimental study approach, using the RCT (Randomized Controlled Trial) method. The sample was taken by purposive sampling with a simple random sampling method. The intervention group was given red dragon fruit in 180 grams/day for 15 days. Levels of blood lipid profiles were measured before and after treatment. Data were analyzed by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for data normality test. Paired t-test to determine the difference in mean pretest and post-test in one group after treatment. Independent t-test to determine differences in the mean difference between pretest and post-test between groups given different treatments and nutritional intake from food due to 24 hours of food recall was analyzed using the Nutrisurvey program.
