<![CDATA[Underground miners highly exposed to thermal stress hazard. Closed condition, heavy work load, and limited ventilation are the common cause of high environment temperature in underground mining. Thermal stress can influence metabolism and physiological function of human body. The objective of these study is to investigate the effect of thermal stress to physiological (bodyweight, blood pressure, urine specific gravity, and heartbeat) of underground miners. This study is observational cross sectional study with 42 underground miners. Thermal stress level is 147.14 Wm2 and categorized as unrestricted zone. These study showed that urine specific gravity, blood pressure, and heart beat on underground miners were change after shift work, while the body weight changes were not observed. The relation among TWL with blood pressure, urine specific gravity, and heartbeat is low category.]]>

<![CDATA[The high number of leprosy seropositivity in a population may lead to clinical leprosy. This study aimed to identify risk factors of leprosy. This study was conducted in Brondong, Lamongan, East Java. The subjects were 153 people who lived with leprosy patient. lgM anti PGL-1 level was examined used ELISA (Dako). Logistic regression was conducted to test the independent variables. The results showed that the subjects had an average age 31 year (±6.5), average BMI 22 (±2.9) and average IgM anti PGL-1 level 1041 unit/ml (±820). 79.7% of the research subjects were women. The subjects’ house floor condition (p value 0.009) was the most influential variable to seropositivity of leprosy. Our findings indicated that not only the duration of leprosy and the contacts need to be considered in the transmission of leprosy, but also environmental factors, such as the subjects’ house floor condition.]]>

<![CDATA[Anemia is still a public health problem in the world and in Indonesia. WHO (2008) reported more than 75% of anemia in Asia is iron deficiency and 63.5% anemia in Indonesia is caused by lack of nutrition. Previous studies described that lead (Plumbum /Pb) can decrease hemoglobin levels. Sriwedari markets’ book sellers and Solo Wholesale Center’s street vendors are susceptible populations exposed to Pb as a result of motor vehicle exhaust. Approximately 70% of Pb in vehicle exhausts emissions are emitted into the air. This study aimed to analyze the effects of Pb exposure on blood Pb concentration and hemoglobin levels. This study was a quantitative observational analytic study with cross sectional design conducted in 2015-2016 at Sriwedari Market. Samples were 97 respondents obtained through random sampling and Spearman correlation was used for data analysis. Result showed that there were association between Pb exposure in the air and blood Pb levels (p=0,000; r=0,606) and blood Pb levels and hemoglobin levels (p=0,000; r=-0,623)]]>

<![CDATA[Electronic prescription is one of information systems to support medical services based on computer technology to support clinical decision (Clinical Decision Support, CDS). Studies proved that the use of this system can decrease medication error. One of the hospitals that have applied this system is Meuraxa Hospital. This study aimed to determine the acceptance behavior of electronic prescription information systems. The respondents of this study were 30 doctors at specialist clinic. Data was collected by distributing questionnaires on August 1st-23rd, 2016. Data was processed using SmartPLS 3.0. Results showed that there was a positive effect of effort expectancy factor on behavioral intention and facilitating factors on the use behavior towards receipt of electronic prescription. It is expected that the management of Meuraxa hospital develop an existing electronic prescription system by accommodating the needs of the system users.]]>

<![CDATA[Saliva can be used for early detection of Diabetes Mellitus (DM). The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between salivary glucose level of patients with type 2 DM on periodontal tissue and to compare it with non DM condition. Observational analysis with cross sectional study was the design used with 40 patients in each group as samples. Periodontal conditions were examined using a dental probe and salivary glucose levels with Eppendorf Ecom 6125 Photometer. The data was analysed statistically with Spearman test to find the relationship between salivary glucose level and periodontal condition and Mann Whitney U Test to compare DM and non DM groups. Cofficient value of Spearman was 0.86, there was a strong correlatiom between salivary glucose level and periodontal condition. Salivary glucose level of DM patients was 8.55 and the control group’s was 1.85 (p=0.02). Higher salivary glucose level would increase severity of periodontal tissue status.]]>

<![CDATA[Skin diseases are disorders of the skin caused by fungi, bacteria, parasites, viruses, and infections. Based on the health profile of Indonesia 2010, the number of acquired skin disorder cases in Indonesia was 122076 cases. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the characteristics of scavengers and the incidence of skin diseases at the land-fill at Wukirsari Gunung kidul Yogyakarta. The study design was cross-sectional. The samples were 32 Wukirsari Gunungkidul land-fill scavengers and selected through totality sampling. The data was analyzed using chi square test. Measurement instruments used were questionnaires, checklists sheet, and doctor’s diagnosis. The result showed that there was a statistically significant relationship between personal hygiene and skin disease incidence (p =0.005; RP=3.193) and between usage of personal protective equipment (PPE) and skin disease incidence (p =0.001; RP=3.086), while there was no statistically significant relationship between skin disease and working duration (p =0.755; RP=1.111).]]>

<![CDATA[Stunting can affect the health of toddlers. The prevalence of stunting in Timor Leste in 2014 is 50.2%, whereas in Aileu District is 52.3%. Stunting can interfere intellectual growth and development. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between stunting determinants. The research design was cross sectional. The population of this study was toddlers 24-59 months old, with a sample size of 102 people. Sampling technique used was simple random sampling. Data were analyzed bivariately using simple linear regression, while multivariate analysis was performed using multiple logistic regressions. Bivariate analysis revealed variables that have significant relationship with stunting: immunization (p=0.026), infectious disease (p=0.049), income (p=0.003), total family member (p=0.045). Multivariate analysis obtained two variables as determinant factor of stunting: infectious disease (p=0.025; OR=0.355; 95% CI=0.144-0.877), income (p=0.028; OR=0.332; 95% CI=0.124-0.887). The incidence of stunting in toddlers in Aileu District is very serious (54.9%). Toddlers with stunting demonstrated the adverse effects of stunting on growth, development, and the quality of human resources. Stunting is not only a health sector issue. It is necessary to have appropriate interventions with early and liable management through various related sectors.]]>

<![CDATA[Pain during labor can cause anxiety, panic and reduced ability of the uterus to contract, thereby extending time of delivery and threaten the safety of the baby. Hypnobirthing is a non-pharmacological pain management which does not have adverse effects for mother and fetus. Hypnobirthing can increase comfort, relax, reduce stress and fear during labor without loss of consciousness. The aim of this research was to determine effect of hypnobirthing on the level of pain in labor. Research was conducted in Bidan Praktik Kota Bandung. Design used was quasi experimental with One group pre and post test technique. The number of samples was 55 respondents who was given hypnosis in labor. Sampling method used was quota sampling. Data was analyzed with Mc Nemar. Result showed that there was a correlation between hypnobirthing and decreased level of pain during labor. We suggested hypnobirthing to be included in the pain management subject in the normal delivery care course and as an alternative method to reduce pain during labor.]]>
