Background Uric acid is an adjunct product of normal metabolism of the digestion of protein foods containing purines or from the decomposition of purines (damaged body cells), which should be excreted through the kidneys, feces or sweat. While blood glucose levels should be maintained in sufficient concentration to provide nutrients for the organs of the body. Conversely, too high glucose concentrations can also have negative effects such as osmotic diuresis and cell dehydration.The purpose of this study was to determine the description of uric acid levels, blood glucose and level of knowledge of the elderly in Samsam Village, Kerambitan District, Tabanan Regency.Method, The type of research used is descriptive. The population in this study were all elderly in Samsam village area with sample size of 57 samples. Sampling technique used Nonprobability Sampling and sampling with Accidental Sampling.Result.From 57 respondents, there were 14 men (25%), women 43 people (75%), age group ≤ 60 years were 18 persons (32%) and age group 60 years were 39 people (68% ). The results of examination of uric acid levels of respondents in the normal category of 7 people (12%) and high 50 people (88%). Blood Glucose Levels when the respondents were normal 52 people (91%) and high 5 people (9%). Knowledge of respondents was 22 people (39%) in good category and 35 people (61%) in medium category.Conclusion, as many as 88% of respondents have high uric acid levels, 9% of respondents have high blood glucose levels and 61% of respondents have knowledge in the category of being Keywords: Uric Acid Level, Blood Glucose, Elderly’s knowledge
The kidneys are responsible for filtering waste from the body such as urea, uric acid, and creatinine. When these organs stop functioning properly, waste builds up to high levels in the blood. In patients with kidney failure are usually equipped with a blood chemistry that urea and serum creatinine as an amplifier diagnosis of the patient's illness. CKD is the progressive loss of function of kidney and patient requires a long treatment in the form of renal replacement therapy. Hemodialysis is one of the renal replacement therapy, during waste products of the body are removed. Patients with kidney failure are associated with increased levels of some biochemical parameters. In several studies, urea and creatinine serum of CKD patients pre-dialysis revealed abnormal levels and indicated hyperuremic. Therefore, this study was aimed to analyzed urea and creatinine serum in CKD patient undergoing hemodialysis in Sanjiwani Hospital. A description study, used purposive sampling methods, involving 30 patients with CKD undergoing hemodialysis. Blood samples were analyzed for urea and creatinin level. Data are presented as table. Results of this study showed that all samples (100%) had serum urea and creatinine levels high or exceed the normal limits. While of urea/creatinine levels as many as 20 patients (66,7%) had low ratio, 7 patients (23,3%) had a normal ratio, and 3 patients (10%) have a high ratio, so that it can be concluded that all patients had hyperuremic. Key words: Urea, Creatinine, Hemodialysis
Background: A chemical compound is a chemical compound present in a natural source that gives it the special properties and characteristics of the plant or animal source. Snail slime is one of the traditional medicines from animals that is used by the community as a traditional medicine for healing minor wounds and toothaches. The aim of this study was to identify the active chemical compounds and antibacterial potential of snail mucus against the bacteria E. foecalis that causes periodontitis. Method: True experiment laboratory research method which is carried out by laboratory analysis of snail mucus to obtain chemical elements, the content of compounds contained in a test sample. The content of active compounds based on the Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GCMS) test. Results: The average content of heparan sulfate with four repetitions was 16.45 mg/100g, Acharan sulfate 21.33 mg/100g, protein achasin 102.22 mg/100g, Glycoconyugat 88.6 mg/100g, Ion Ca2+ 86.2 mg/100g, Beta agglutinins 85.22 mg/100g. Toxicity test was carried out with four repetitions with concentrations of 100%, 50%, 25%, and 12.5%. And the lowest results of the toxicity test were at a concentration of 100% with a value of 0.171, while at a concentration of 50% 0.302, 25% 0.453, and 12.5% 0.768, for bacteria E. Foecalis with an inhibitory power of 23.15 mm, the category was very strong. Conclusion: The active chemical content in snail mucus is Acharan sulfate, achasin protein, Glycoconyugat, Ca2+ ion, Beta agglutinin, and the antibacterial potential of snail mucus against E. foecalis bacteria is very strong.
Background: Blacksmith is one of the small industries that is developing in Gubug Village, Tabanan Regency. One of the processes in manufacturing household utensils in the form of small knives, large knives, sickles, and machetes will be faced with a grinder. In this process, the worker holds a vibrating grinder weighing more than 1.5 kg. Working with heavy loads and being exposed to vibration for a long time is an additional burden that will cause musculoskeletal complaints, as well as diseases such as Raynaud's Syndrome, Tenosynovitis, and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in workers. This study aimed to determine the effect of Sitting Grinding Modification on Reducing Complaints of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs), Workload, and Increasing Work Productivity of Blacksmiths in Gubug Tabanan Village. Methods: This research is an experimental study with treatment by subject design. The population is 40 people from 10 industries. Sample selection by simple random sampling with a table of random numbers. The minimum number of samples was calculated using the Colton formula to determine the sample size to be 16 people. Data processing and analysis: Descriptive test for subject condition data includes age, weight, height, and body mass index. Normality test was performed on the data; a) physical environment includes air temperature, humidity, and noise), b). musculoskeletal complaints; c) workload; and d) work productivity. Difference test for data on musculoskeletal complaints, workload, and work productivity using parametric statistical tests (different test paired samples t-test at significance level = 0.05) in treatment I and treatment II on data that is normally distributed, and if it is not normal, non-parametric statistical tests were performed (Wilcoxon's difference test at significance level = 0.05). Results: The mean age of the subjects was 39.00±8.52 years, body weight was 65.31±6.7.57 kg, height was 164.69±4.40 cm and the body mass index was 23.94±2.05. kg/m2. There is no difference in air temperature and humidity, there is a decrease in noise of 0.81%. There was a decrease in musculoskeletal complaints by 0.15%, a decrease in workload by 0.19%, an increase in productivity by 1.06%. Conclusion: There is a significant decrease between musculoskeletal complaints, workload and noise before and after the use of the seated grinder (p<0.05), and there is a significant increase between work productivity before and after using modified sitting grinder.
Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease which characterized by hyperglycemia due to abnormalities insulin secretions, insulin performance, or both of them. The condition of insulin resistance in DM type 2 causes chronic complications such as diabetic nephropathy. It has become the second leading cause of end-stage kidney disease, and one of the most common and demaging complication of diabetes. The level of creatinine in blood is one of the parameters used to assess renal function, as in the plasma concentration and excretion in the urine within 24 hours. Serum creatinine levels greater than the normal value suggests an impaired renal function. Objective The purpose of this study was to determine serum creatinine levels in patients with DM type 2 in Sanglah General Hospital Denpasar. Methods The method uses an analytical study with description, used accidental sampling methods, involving 30 patients with DM type 2. Blood samples were analyzed for creatinine levels and data are presented as table. The reslts of this study showed that 60% samples had high levels of serum creatinine, 30% samples had normal levels serum creatinine, and 10% samples had low levels serum creatinine. From the result was concluded, most patients with DM type 2 in Sanglah Genaral Hospital have highly serum creatinine levels. Keywords: creatinine serum, DM type 2
