Oral health is closely related to salivary components. Saliva consists of water, inorganic and organic materials. Fasting changes one’s meal and drinking time that in turn can affect the environment in oral cavity, including inorganic componenet of saliva. The purpose of this study is to determine the inorganic component of saliva during fasting and after fast break. The study is an observational analytic (longitudinal/follow-up study) conducted in Hasanuddin University dental hospital in July 2015. The sampling method is purposive sampling with the entire population of Dental Public Health section students, who are 35 people with 16 research subjects who fullfill the criteria of the study. Samples were tested in the laboratory using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) in part per million (ppm) units. The data is analysed by paired t-test with SPSS version 17.0. The result shows that concentration of inorganic components (calcium, phosphate and potassium) in the saliva decreased significantly after fast break (p<0.05). Sodium shows decreased insignificantly after fast break (p=0.190) and magnesium increased insignificantly after break fasting (p=0.615). The concentration of calcium, phosphate, potassium except sodium decreased significantly after fast break, whereas the concentrations of magnesium were not significantly increased after fast break.

ABSTRAKDiabetes melitus (DM) adalah suatu kelainan akibat gangguan metabolisme karbohidrat yang ditandai dengan peningkatan kadar glukosa darah, yang juga meningkatkan kadar glukosa saliva. Glukosa adalah media yang baik bagi pertumbuhan organisme mikro termasuk C.albicans. Salah satu infeksi yang paling sering mengenai mukosa mulut penderita DM adalah kandidiasis. Kandidiasis kronis dapat berkembang menjadi ganas. Penelitian ini dimaksudkan untuk mengetahui korelasi kadar glukosa saliva dengan kadar glukosa darah terhadap terjadinya kandidiasis oral pada penderita DM. Penelitian observasional analitik ini dilakukan melalui penentuan kadar glukosa darah sesaat dengan cara strip menggunakan alat glukometer dan kadar glukosa saliva dengan "uji GOD PAP enzimatik kolometrik". Kandidiasis oral ditentukan dengan melihat keberadaan C.albicans pada 30 sampel penderita DM dengan pembenihan agar Saboround serta pengecatan gram. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan r=0,228, yaitu kadar glukosa saliva yang tinggi diikuti kadar glukosa darah yang tinggi, dan pada pemeriksaan mikroskopis ditemukan spora Candida pada seluruh sampel, serta hifa Candida pada dua sampel penelitian. Disimpulkan bahwa ada hubungan antara kadar glukosa saliva dan kadar glukosa darah, serta peningkatan kadar glukosa mempengaruhi terjadinya kandidiasis oral pada pasien DM. Kata kunci: diabetes melitus, kadar glukosa saliva, kadar glukosa darah kandidiasis oral Koresponden: Fildzah Rahman.

In many health care systems around the world, increasing attention is focused on Human Resource Management (HRM). HRM is currently manifested as a key element of successful innovation because the human element is involved in the entire innovation process. Innovation is important in terms of public services, for example service innovation using information technology so as to increase efficiency and effectiveness in providing services. This study aims to analyze the effect of HRM on health service innovation in hospitals. This research method is a scoping review. The results of the research are from the literature search that discusses the effect of HRM on innovation in health services in hospitals. The types of innovations supported by HRM are HRM Practices, Knowledge Management, Humble Leadership, Green HRM, Crisis Management Theory, Clinical Directorates Model, and E-Medical services, E-Nursing services, and E-Adminstrative Services.
