Tinea pedis is a disease that attacks the area between the fingers, soles of the feet, heels, nails and is a source of infection in other areas. Trichophyton rubrum is the cause of 70 % of cases of tinea pedis. Fungal infections are usually treated using antifungal drugs which mostly have limitations, such as poor penetration into certain tissues, narrow spectrum of fungi, high side effects, and resistance of fungi to certain antifungals. Utilization of natural materials is done as an alternative treatment for fungal infections. One of the natural ingredients that has the potential to be used as antifungal is onion (Allium cepa L.). The aim of the study was to determine the ability of onion extract to inhibit the growth of the fungus Trichophyton rubrum. The type of research is Experimental Laboratory. This study used onion extract concentrations of 70 %, 60 %, 50 %, 40 %, control (+) and control (-). Data analysis using Kruskal Wallis Test and Post Hoc Mann Whitney Test. The average diameter of the inhibition zone at the extract concentration of 70 %, 60 %, 50 %, and 40 %, respectively, was 2,01 mm, 1,75 mm, 0,87 mm, and 0.58 mm. The results of the in vitro test using the disc diffusion method showed that onion extract had the ability to inhibit the growth of Trichophyton rubrum with a weak category.
Puskesmas yang menjadi salah satu tempat pelayanan kesehatan pertama. Untuk menjamin pelanyanan kesehatan yang baik di Puskesmas maka ketersediaan logistik kesehatan salah satunya obat harus dapat dijamin. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengevaluasi dan menganalisa permasalahan terkait kondisi ketersediaan logistik obat di Puskesmas pada wilayah Kota Bengkulu. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode pendekatan kualitatif dengan wawancara mendalam dan survei sebagai cara untuk mengumpulkan data. Data yang digunakan adalah voice recorder dan dokumen laporan ketersediaan obat di puskesmas. Informan penelitian ini sebanyak 14 orang yang terdiri dari Dinas Kesehatan Kota Bengkulu, Plh Kepala UPTD Farmasi Dinkes Kota Bengkulu, Apoteker/Staf penanggung jawab farmasi di Puskesmas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ketersediaan obat di Puskesmas wilayah Kota Bengkulu belum sesuai dengan kebutuhan puskesmas. Rata-rata persentase ketersediaan obat di Puskesmas mencapai 97% dan telah melampaui target yang ditetapkan oleh pemerintah yaitu 95%, akan tetapi yang terjadi di lapangan adalah pemenuhan pelayanan kesehatan yang berkaitan dengan obat tidak mencukupi. Pengadaan obat belum sesuai dengan LPLPO yang dibutuhkan oleh puskesmas. Disarankan Kementerian Kesehatan terkhususnya Ditjen Kefarmasian dan Alat Kesehatan melakukan evaluasi kembali dalam penggunaan Formulir Ketersediaan Obat di Puskesmas sebagai instrumen dalam penetapan sasaran kinerja.
Background: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease or disorder with multietiology (many causes) which is characterized by high blood sugar levels accompanied by impaired carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism as a result of inadequate insulin function. Cherry leaves as an alternative medicine for diabetes mellitus, are used by boiling the carcinoma leaves using water. Boiling process attracts polar compounds found in cherry leaves, cherry leaves contain saponins and flavonids which can inhibit the absorption of blood sugar from the intestine, thus inhibiting the absorption of carbohydrates. Method: this research uses descriptive type with Cross Sectional research design. Sample selection with snowball sampling method. There were 32 respondents, namely type II diabetes mellitus who consumed cherry leaf boiled water (20 routines, and 12 non-routine). Method of blood sugar levels using a glucometer. Results: blood sugar levels in patients with type II diabetes mellitus who consume boiled water cherry leaves regularly at 20 probandus (40% normal and 60% abnormal) obtained an average of 166.6 mg / dl and standard deviation of 35,905, not routine (100% abnormal) an average of 211.3 mg / dl was obtained and a standard deviation of 76,935. Conclusion: cherry leaves boiled water when consumed regularly and regularly can reduce blood sugar levels of patients with type II diabetes mellitus.Keywords: Blood glucose, DM type II, Cherry leaves.
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a disease characterized by continuous and varied increases in blood sugar (glucose) levels due to a disturbance in the pancreas that cannot produce enough insulin. Increased glucose levels can damage the physiology of the kidneys if they exceed the threshold of kidney. DM patients who are more than 5 years old are recommended for initial screening, one of them is an urea examination. This study was a descriptive cross-sectional study design carried out at the Internal Medicine Police Hospital Dr. M. Yunus Bengkulu with 38 people with DM. Sampling using accidental sampling technique. Ureum level examination was carried out using the AU 680 Beckman Coulter Chemistry Analyzer. Results: abnormal urea levels based on the duration of DM <5 years as many as 36% and> 5 years 87%. abnormal urea levels based on regular drug consumption ie (62%) while those taking irregular drugs resulting in abnormal urea levels (50)%). abnormal urea levels based on the duration of suffering> 5 years and taking medication regularly amounted to 87% and normal urea levels amounted to 13%. Evaluation of the level of urea in patients with diabetes that exceeds the normal limit is caused by the duration of suffering from diabetes and taking medication regularly.
