Abstract

Background: Dental caries is an oral cavity disease that affects most Indonesians. Lactobacillus acidophilus (L. acidophilus) is one of the bacteria that causes dental caries. Control of bacteria in the form of antibacterial agents is needed to suppress the growth of L. acidophilus. Purple leaves (Graptophyllum pictum L. Griff) are a medicinal plant with antibacterial compounds, namely flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, and tannins. Purpose: Determine the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of purple leaves extract on the growth of L. acidophilus. Method: The sample consisted of seven groups, including positive control (chlorhexidine 0.2%), negative control (BHI-B), and purple leaves extract with concentrations of 25%, 12.5%, 6.25%, 3.12%, and 1.56%. The antibacterial activity of purple leaves extract was carried out quantitatively using a spectrophotometer with a wavelength of 600 nm. After that, it was incubated at 37°C for 48 hours, followed by absorbance measurement. The absorbance results were then analyzed using the Paired T-Test (before and after incubation). Result: Purple leaves extract concentrations of 6.25%, 12.5%, and 25% had an inhibitory effect on L. acidophillus. Conclusion: Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of purple leaves extract on the growth of L. acidophilus was 6.25%

Abstract

Background: It is necessary to make innovations that make it easier for osteoarthritis sufferers to do exercises independently at home. Patients can apply proper self-management, such as doing pain-reducing quadriceps muscle exercises. Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the effect of quadriceps isometrics on pain intensity in the elderly community with knee osteoarthritis. Method: This study uses a quasi-experimental design with pre and post-test control group design. The sample was selected using a consecutive sampling technique, which consisted of 30 older people divided into 15 older people for each intervention and control group. The intervention group sample was given a treatment of quadriceps isometric for weeks with a frequency of twice a week, and then the control group was given education. The analysis used is a statistical test paired sample T-test and an independent T-test. Result: The paired sample statistics obtained the average pain result in the pre-intervention category with a scale of 6.2, while after the intervention, it was 5.2with a p-value < 0.05. In the paired sample statistics, the average pain result in the category before education was 7.28, while after education, it was 8.03 with a p-value < 0.05. In the independent T-test for the intervention and control groups, the results obtained were a p-value of 0.039 < 0.05. Conclusion: There was a significant difference between the average intervention and control groups of quadriceps isometric exercise in reducing pain intensity in elderly patients.

Abstract

Background: Stress is the effect of competition and high professional demands in the workplace. The Occupational Safety and Health Agency (UPT Keselamatan Kerja) is a technical implementation unit with responsibilities and functions in occupational hygiene, health, and safety. The proliferation of COVID-19 in numerous regions has repercussions for all sectors of society, including agency employees. Those still employed are required to adjust to new conditions. Purpose: Analyse the effect of work demands and social support on work stress among UPT Keselamatan Kerja Surabaya employees during the pandemic. Method: The research was conducted on contract and permanent employees (civil servants), which were divided into three distinct work units: the Safety Training Section Corporate Hygiene and Occupational Safety, the Administration Section, the Testing and Inspection Section. This study employed a quantitative approach. The data were collected using observation. Result: The findings of the study indicated that: 1) UPT Keselamatan Kerja Surabaya employees fell into elevated work demands, 2) UPT Keselamatan Kerja Surabaya employees obtained a high level of social support, 3) Work demands and social support simultaneously affected employees’ work stress at UPT Keselamatan Kerja Surabaya. Conclusion: Social support affected work stress among UPT Keselamatan Kerja Surabaya employees with a significance value of 0.004. Work demands and social support concurrently affected the stress experienced by UPT Keselamatan Kerja Surabaya employees.

Abstract

Background: Enterococcus is routinely considered a low-grade pathogen. The synergistic action of Enterococci with other bacteria increases the risk of infection. Enterococci are currently the next most common cause of healthcare-associated infections after E. coli. Greater understanding is needed regarding Enterococcus stress survival, virulence, and resistance patterns to assess the complexity of disease-causing Enterococcus. Purpose: Analyze the prevalence of Enterococcus and assess the antibiotic sensitivity pattern of Enterococcus. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study was designed and carried out in the Department of Microbiology at Bangladesh University of Health Sciences, Dhaka, over a period of 3 months. Bacterial culture and sensitivity were the methods employed for microbiological examination. Result: A total of 558 bacterial strains were isolated, among which the growth of Enterococcus spp. was 27 (4.83%). The prevalence of Enterococcus spp. among different samples was 4.83%. The number of highly sensitive strains ranged from 66.66% to 77.77% for antibiotics, namely gentamycin, ampicillin, amoxicillin, and meropenem. Moderately high sensitivity to levofloxacin (29.62%) and low sensitivity to doxycycline (14.81%) were also analyzed. Conclusion: The study recommends that antibiotics should be used after proper laboratory procedures are undertake, and it should be selected based on antimicrobial susceptibility tests.
