The methods used involve training and counseling that incorporate direct training and open discussions. Data were collected through observations and field notes.

Results

The results of this activity include an increase in understanding and skills of teachers concerning Reproductive Health Education and STI prevention, which they can apply in educating students. Additionally, it was found that community awareness about the dangers of STIs also increased as a direct result of this activity.

Conclusion

The conclusion that can be derived from this activity is that appropriate education and training on reproductive health and the prevention of STIs for the community, specifically educators, can be an effective strategy in controlling STI transmission in tourist areas like the Thousand Islands.

Elderly people experience the aging process mainly through three stages, including weakness, functional limitations and inhibitions. Physical, mental, psychological and spiritual changes occur. Examination of hemoglobin (Hb), fasting blood glucose (FBS), and blood pressure (BP) levels can represent a picture of the aging process and see the health condition of the elderly. Hb levels to assess whether there is anemia or not which can be associated with nutritional intake or certain blood disorders. FBS levels describe the state of glucose in the bloodstream to see the possibility of experiencing diabetes mellitus (DM), because DM has quite a severe impact with microvascular and macrovascular complications. BP measurements can describe the health condition of the heart and blood vessels. This research is a descriptive study. The method used is the survey method and data collection techniques using tests and measurements. The subjects of this study were members of the Muhammadiyah Branch Leadership (PCM) Ciledug who were over or equal to 60 years old. The number of samples studied was 63 people with an average result for Hb: 13.3 gr/dL, GDP: 111.23 gr/dL, then the results of hypertension were 58.73%.

Lansia mengalami proses penuaan terutama melalui tiga tahapan antara lain kelemahan, keterbatasan fungsional dan keterhambatan. Terjadi perubahan fisik, mental, psikologis dan spiritual. Pemeriksaan kadar hemoglobin (Hb), glukosa darah puasa (GDP), dan tekanan darah (TD) mampu mewakili gambaran proses penuaan dan melihat kondisi kesehatan lansia. Kadar Hb untuk menilai apakah terdapat anemia atau tidak yang dapat dikaitkan dengan asupan gizi atau penyakit kelainan darah tertentu. Kadar GDP menggambarkan keadan glukosa di peredaran darah untuk melihat kemungkinan mengalami sakit dabetes melitus (DM), karena penyakit DM memberikan dampak yang cukup berat dengan komplikasi mikrovaskular dan makrovaskular. Pengukuran TD dapat menggambarkan kondisi Kesehatan jantung dan pembuluh darah. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif. Metode yang digunakan yaitu metode survey dan teknik pengambilan data menggunakan tes dan pengukuran. Subjek penelitian ini merupakan anggota Pimpinan Cabang Muhammadiyah(PCM) Ciledug yang berusia diatas atau sama dengan 60 tahun.

Terapi TB Paru Kasus Baru MTB Not Detected Disertai Peningkatan Fungsi Hati: Laporan Kasus

Dian Apriliana — 2025-02-01

Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and can infect various organs, including the lungs and extrapulmonary. Standard treatment uses anti-TB drugs (OAT) such as rifampicin, isoniazid, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide, which can cause hepatotoxic side effects or Drug-Induced Liver Injury (DILI). This study aims to analyze the incidence of DILI in TB patients receiving OAT FDC therapy. The method used is a case study on a 24-year-old patient who experienced nausea, vomiting, and jaundice after receiving FDC therapy. Laboratory examinations showed increased ALT and AST, indicating DILI. Data were analyzed with periodic monitoring of liver enzymes and clinical changes. The results showed that temporary cessation of OAT and administration of hepatoprotective curcuma supplements were effective in improving liver function. This study suggests routine liver enzyme examination in patients receiving OAT therapy to prevent DILI. Alternative OAT therapy can be considered in patients with severe DILI.

Tuberkulosis (TBC) disebabkan oleh Mycobacterium tuberculosis dan dapat menginfeksi berbagai organ, termasuk paru dan ekstra paru. Pengobatan standar menggunakan obat anti-TBC (OAT) seperti rifampisin, isoniazid, ethambutol, dan pyrazinamid, yang dapat menyebabkan efek samping hepatotoksik atau Drug-Induced Liver Injury (DILI). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kejadian DILI pada pasien TBC yang menerima terapi OAT FDC. Metode yang digunakan adalah studi kasus pada pasien berusia 24 tahun yang mengalami mual, muntah, dan ikterus setelah menerima terapi FDC. Pemeriksaan laboratorium menunjukkan peningkatan ALT dan AST, yang mengindikasikan DILI. Data dianalisis dengan pemantauan berkala enzim hati dan perubahan klinis. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa penghentian sementara OAT dan pemberian suplemen hepatoprotektor curcuma efektif dalam perbaikan fungsi hati. Penelitian ini menyarankan pemeriksaan rutin enzim hati pada pasien yang menerima terapi OAT untuk mencegah DILI. Alternatif terapi OAT dapat dipertimbangkan pada pasien dengan DILI berat.
