Analysis of Potassium Levels in Patients with Pulmonary Tuberculosis Who Take Anti Tuberculosis Drugs

Laila Kamilla — 2023-12-31

Pulmonary Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Pulmonary Tuberculosis is treated with antituberculosis drugs, but these drugs can be toxic to the body and have side effects such as diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. These side effects can disrupt the body's fluid balance with the loss of potassium. The purpose of this study was to analyze the side effects of taking anti-tuberculosis drugs (OAT) on potassium (K) electrolyte levels in Pulmonary Tuberculosis patients at UPT Puskesmas Perumnas 1. This study used a descriptive design with a cross sectional approach to describe or give an overview of electrolyte levels in Pulmonary Tuberculosis patients who took anti-tuberculosis drugs. The population in this study were 37 Pulmonary Tuberculosis patients, and the samples in this study were 26 Pulmonary Tuberculosis patients who were still on OAT treatment at UPT Puskesmas Perumnas 1. The potassium electrolyte examination method used in this study was the sodium tetraphenylboron method. From the results of the study, it was found that Lung Tuberculosis patients with normal potassium levels amounted to 8 people (30.8%) and Lung Tuberculosis patients who experienced hypokalemia amounted to 18 people (69.2%). The side effects felt from taking OAT were digestive disorders, namely diarrhea totaling 7 people (26.9%), nausea totaling 4 people (15.4%), and vomiting totaling 7 people (26.9%).

The Effect of Ultrasound and Neuromuscular Taping Interventions on Reducing Pain in Non-Specific Low Back Pain Patients

Nova Relida Samosir — 2023-12-31

Low back pain (LBP) is a musculoskeletal disorder caused by poor ergonomics. LBP is defined as pain localized between the costal margin and the inferior gluteal fold that lasts for more than one day. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Ultrasound and Neuromuscular Taping interventions on reducing non-specific low back pain. This study used a quasi-experimental method with a one-group pre-and post-test design, and the research sample was given Ultrasound and Neuromuscular Taping interventions. The pain measurement tool used was the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The normality test was performed using the Shapiro-Wilk test, and the effect test was performed using the Wilcoxon test. The results of this study showed that the pre-and post-intervention mean VAS scores were 6.7±1.766 and 1.7±0.674, respectively. With a value of p = 0.005 (p < 0.005), which indicates a significant difference between the VAS scores before and after Ultrasound and Neuromuscular Taping interventions. This value can be interpreted as evidence that the combination of these two interventions can reduce the degree of pain in non-specific low back pain conditions. In conclusion, the study found that there was a significant effect of Ultrasound and neuro-muscular taping (NMT) interventions on reducing pain in cases of non-specific low back pain.

Perbedaan Hasil Pemeriksaan Kadar Hemoglobin Sampel Darah Vena Remaja Segera Diperiksa dan Ditunda dengan Metode Sahli

Riki Rinaldi — 2023-12-31

Darah merupakan komponen penting bagi tubuh yang terdiri dari eritrosit, leukosit, trombosit yang dapat digunakan sebagai diagnosis suatu penyakit. Salah satu pemeriksaan laboratorium yang menggunakan darah adalah hemoglobin. Sampel darah yang akan diperiksa harus dilakukan pengecekan terlebih dahulu, karena darah yang disimpan terlalu lama dapat menyebabkan eritrosit pecah dan menyebabkan hemoglobin berada di plasma. Pemeriksaan hemoglobin ada dua cara yaitu manual dan otomatis. Cara manual bisa menggunakan metode sahli. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hasil kadar hemoglobin pada sampel darah vena remaja yang segera diperiksa dan ditunda selama 60 menit, 120 menit pada suhu ruang dengan metode sahli. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian eksperimen dengan pendekatan kuantitatif dan uji statistic One Way Anova dengan menggunakan sampel sebanyak 15 remaja. Setiap pemeriksaan dilakukan sebanyak enam kali ulangan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa adanya perbedaan pemeriksaan segera dan ditunda (60 menit, 120 menit) dikarenakan terjadiadanyapenurunankadar hemoglobin sebanyak 1gr/dL setiap 60 menit dan pada hasi lone way anova menunjukkan hasil penilaian yang signifikan yaitu dengan p 0,00027. Nilai rata-rata hasilkadar hemoglobin menunjukkan pada segera 12,43 gr/dL, ditunda 60 menit 11,48 gr/dL, dan ditunda 120 menit 10,35 gr/dL. Nilai rata-rata kadar hemoglobin remaja laki-laki pada segera (1 3,6 gr/dl), ditunda 60 menit (12,6gr/dL),dan ditunda 120 menit s (11,3 gr/dL). Nilai rata-rata kadar hemoglobin remaja perempuan pada pemeriksaan segera (11,8 gr/dL), ditunda 60 menit (10,9 gr/dL), ditunda 120 menit (9,8 gr/dL).

Soap Made from Kesum Leaf Squeezedto Inhibit Growth Staphylococcus aureus.

Bagus Muhammad Ihsan — 2023-12-31

Biodiversity, especially in West Kalimantan, is very diverse, one of which is the kesum plant (Polygonum minus husks). The kesum plant is a plant that can be used as herbal medicine. The utilization of kesum plants is usually done as part of the leaves, namely as local processed cooking spices. Based on Fitofarmaka studies, kesum plants are believed to have antibacterial, antifungal, anti-viral, antioxidant, anti-cancer, and antiulcer activities. The study's aim was to find out how well different concentrations of kesum leaf juice-based solid soap formulations stopped the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. This study used kesum leaves (Polygonum minus husks), which were squeezed, and then made solid soap preparations with concentrations of 3.93%, 5.25%, and 6.56%. Nine repetitions were carried out in each treatment, so the number of samples used was 27. The results of the antibacterial inhibition test showed that the soap preparation samples had the ability to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The result of the statistical analysis value in the Friedman test is P = 0.000, which states that there is a difference in each concentration of solid soap prepared from kesum leaf juice. Dilution concentrations of 5.25% and 6.56% are more effective in inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria than 3.93%.
