2025-09-12T09:10:54+07:00

This study aims to analyze the prevalence and distribution of disease-causing microorganisms in Semarang City in 2023. The increase in infectious disease cases in urban areas, including Semarang City, demonstrates the urgency of mapping the distribution of pathogenic microorganisms as a basis for formulating public health strategies and analyzing their relationship with demographic factors and disease types. Data were obtained from 3,803 laboratory samples collected at hospitals and community health centers, then analyzed descriptively quantitatively based on frequency, percentage, patient age, region of origin, and disease classification using ICD-10. The results showed that Escherichia coli (13.12–16.60%) and Acinetobacter baumannii (11.68–14.78%) were the dominant microorganisms, followed by Staphylococcus epidermidis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The highest distribution of cases was found in the productive age group (20–65 years, 58.7%), followed by the elderly (21.1%) and infants <2 years (12.1%). Bronchopneumonia (J18.0) was the most common diagnosis, with a significant prevalence also in congenital pneumonia (P23.9) and cerebral infarction (I63.9). These findings confirm the close relationship between population density, environmental sanitation, and the vulnerability of certain age groups to microbial infections. This study concludes the need for strengthening data-driven policies, improving infection control in healthcare facilities, and public health education to reduce the burden of infectious diseases in Semarang City.

Surgical Equipment Preventive Maintenance Information System

2025-09-12T09:10:54+07:00

Medical equipment represents a significant investment in healthcare facilities and requires significant maintenance costs. It is crucial for healthcare facilities to have a planned maintenance program to ensure the safety, quality, and usability of medical equipment. Regular maintenance is also expected to extend the lifespan of medical equipment. However, most preventive maintenance planning and reporting is done manually, resulting in suboptimal and ineffective results. To facilitate these activities, a tool is needed to create a preventive maintenance information system for surgical equipment. First, a database design is prepared, then the information system model is created using Enterprise Architect, using use case diagrams, activity diagrams, and sequence diagrams. The information system is then created using the PHP programming language and a MySQL database. Research findings suggest that a Preventive Equipment Maintenance Information System ensures equipment continues to function properly and reduces the risk of serious damage that can lead to costly repairs. Therefore, this maintenance information system is not only about keeping equipment functioning properly; routine maintenance helps extend the life of equipment and ensures the safety of patients and medical personnel.

Paparan sinar ultraviolet (UV) dapat menimbulkan berbagai kerusakan kulit, seperti penuaan dini, hiperpigmentasi, dan peningkatan risiko kanker kulit. Upaya pencegahan semakin berkembang melalui pemanfaatan bahan alam yang memiliki kemampuan menyerap sinar UV. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan nilai Sun Protection Factor (SPF) dari ekstrak etanol kunyit (Curcuma longa L.), jahe (Zingiber officinale Roscoe), dan sereh (Cymbopogon citratus DC.) sebagai kandidat bahan aktif tabir surya alami. Ekstraksi dilakukan secara maserasi menggunakan etanol, kemudian larutan diuji menggunakan spektrofotometer UV-Vis pada konsentrasi 100–300 ppm. Nilai SPF dihitung menggunakan persamaan Mansur dan dianalisis secara deskriptif serta uji Kruskal–Wallis untuk mengetahui perbedaan antar kelompok. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa nilai SPF meningkat seiring kenaikan konsentrasi, dengan ekstrak kunyit memiliki nilai tertinggi (7,649–22,554), diikuti sereh (3,934–11,833) dan jahe (2,369–6,512). Variasi nilai SPF dipengaruhi oleh perbedaan kandungan senyawa aktif, seperti kurkumin pada kunyit, citral pada sereh, dan gingerol pada jahe. Secara keseluruhan, ketiga ekstrak berpotensi menjadi agen tabir surya alami, dengan kunyit sebagai kandidat utama karena memberikan perlindungan UV paling efektif.

Perbandingan Efektivitas Core Stabilization Exercise dan McKenzie Exercise terhadap Penurunan Nyeri Punggung Bawah Non-Spesifik: Meta-Analisis

2025-12-16T10:05:34+07:00

Nyeri punggung bawah non-spesifik (NSLBP) merupakan masalah muskuloskeletal yang umum terjadi dan menyebabkan nyeri serta keterbatasan fungsional. Terapi latihan secara luas direkomendasikan, namun bukti yang membandingkan Core Stabilization Exercises (CSE) dan McKenzie Exercises (ME) masih bervariasi. Meta-analisis ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan efektivitas CSE dan ME dalam mengurangi intensitas nyeri pada orang dewasa dengan NSLBP. Tinjauan sistematis dan meta-analisis dilakukan mengikuti pedoman PRISMA 2020. Pencarian dilakukan pada Scopus, ProQuest, dan Google Scholar dari tahun 2020 hingga Oktober 2025. Randomized controlled trials (RCT) yang melibatkan peserta berusia 18–65 tahun dengan NSLBP disertakan. Hasil nyeri dianalisis menggunakan Standardized Mean Difference (SMD) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) menggunakan random-effects model. Tujuh Studi RCT dengan 330 peserta memenuhi kriteria inklusi. Analisis gabungan menunjukkan bahwa CSE secara signifikan menurunkan intensitas nyeri dibandingkan ME (SMD = –0.65; 95% CI = –1.21 hingga –0.08; p = 0.02). Heterogenitas yang cukup besar diamati (I² = 83%), kemungkinan disebabkan oleh variasi durasi intervensi, intensitas, dan karakteristik peserta. CSE lebih efektif dibandingkan ME dalam mengurangi nyeri pada dewasa dengan NSLBP. Meskipun heterogenitas tinggi, temuan ini mendukung integrasi CSE dalam program rehabilitasi untuk manajemen nyeri optimal. Diperlukan RCT yang lebih terstandarisasi dan berkualitas tinggi untuk memastikan efek jangka panjang dan perbedaan subkelompok.

2026-02-03T08:13:00+07:00

Pemeriksaan radiografi shoulder joint dengan posisi pasien Antero Posterior supine nyatanya tidak memperlihatkan kondisi True Antero Posterior untuk shoulder joint, karena tidak dapat memvisualisasi optimal terhadap struktur glenohumeral. Penggunaan proyeksi Grashey view dengan memposisikan pasien oblik sebesar 30-45 derajad menawarkan visualisasi artikulasi sendi bahu secara lebih jelas karena dapat memperlihatkan anatomi glenoid cavity dan caput humerus tanpa tumpang tindih. Tantangan muncul saat memeriksa pasien yang tidak kooperatif dalam menghasilkan citra shoulder joint yang optimal. Dengan memodifikasi arah sinar / central ray dengan posisi pasien supine true AP dapat menjadi opsi ketika pasien tidak kooperatif. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah memberikan alternatif bagi pasien tidak kooperatif: Menciptakan opsi prosedur pemeriksaan bagi pasien trauma (seperti dislokasi atau fraktur) yang mengalami nyeri hebat sehingga tidak mampu memutar tubuhnya sebesar 30-45 derajat sesuai standar proyeksi Grashey. Jenis penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif kualitatif, dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Instrument penelitian ini adalah observasi dan wawancara kepada radiografer dan dokter spesialis radiologi. Posisi pasien supine diatas meja pemeriksaan atau di atas bed pasien,dengan arah sinar 30° kearah lateral. Central point berada dipertengahan shoulder joint dan FFD 100cm. Hasil citra grashey yang normal dengan proyeksi Grashey modifikasi arah sinar tidak terdapat perbedaan yang berarti. Proyeksi grashey dapat menampakkan acromioclavicular joint space dan glenohumeral joint space dengan lebih baik karena tidak adanya superposisi, serta dengan proyeksi penyudutan ini dapat memperlihatkan adanya dislokasi maupun luksasi yang mungkin terjadi.
