Background: Stunting is a condition of impaired growth that children experience because of prolonged poor nutrition. Factors that cause stunting are the nutrition status of pre-pregnancy mothers, nutrition status during pregnancy, early initiation of breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding, environment sanitation, and infection in children. Stunting has an impact on suboptimal intelligence in children and also can result in a poor immune system. Objective: To know the correlation between pregnant mothers' nutrition status with stunting babies 6-24 months old in the working area of Puskesmas Pasrepan. Method: This study was an observational analytical study with a case-control retrospective design, participated by 80 babies which 40 were stunted and the other 40 were normal height and was taken from Pasrepan Health Center secondary data using consecutive technique sampling. Data was taken from Puskesmas Pasrepan consisted of mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) of pregnant women, the height of children 6-24 months, age of children, number of ANC visits, and sex of children. Variables were analyzed using Chi-Square to know the correlation between the nutritional status of pregnant women with stunting. Results: 5 out of 6 stunted 6-24 months old babies (83,3%) were from malnourished pregnant women or maternal chronic energy deficiency (CED), and 35 out of 40 stunted 6-24 months old babies (47,3%) were from maternal with normal nutrition. The correlation between the nutritional status of pregnant women with stunting results was (p=0,09). Conclusion: There is no significant correlation between the nutritional status of pregnant women with stunting babies 6-24 months old.
The use of contraception is important to control population growth, regulate the interval between pregnancies, avoid unwanted births, control the time of birth in a husband and wife relationship and determine the number of children in the family. According to the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of East Java Province in 2018, the number of active Family Planning (KB) participants of married women of childbearing age who use hormonal contraception in the form of pills was 19.26%, injections were 50.44%, and implants is 11. 45%. Uterine fibroids occur in 20%-25% of women of reproductive age. The prevalence of leiomyoma may increase with hormonal contraceptives containing the hormone estrogen, either pure or combined. Uterine fibroids can affect the quality of life of the sufferer. Purpose: To analyze the relationship between the use of combined pill contraceptives and those who do not use the combined pill contraception in women with the incidence of leiomyoma. Method: This research is an observational analytic carried out retrospectively with a case-control approach. The sampling technique in this study was non-probability sampling, namely purposive sampling. This study uses secondary data, namely medical records of gynecological patients at the RSPAL Dr. Ramelan Surabaya by meeting the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria. The data collected will be analyzed by looking at whether leiomyoma patients use combined pill contraception. Result: Patients diagnosed with leiomyoma who used the combined pill contraceptive were 48 (63%), while those who did not use the combined pill were 28 (37%). This study's results indicate a significant relationship between the use of combined pill contraceptives and the incidence of leiomyoma (p=0.001). Conclusion: There is a relationship between the use of combined pill contraceptives with the incidence of leiomyoma.
Introduction : Pharyngitis is one of the most common infection that general practitioners handled. It is estimated in one year there are 15 million people with pharyngitis will come to the doctor. American Society of Microbiology said that 94,3 % from 402 patient who were suspected pharyngitis received antibiotic therapy even without indication of antibiotic therapy. Antibiotic resistance is becoming a great threat for the world today. World Health Organization state that one of the plan to fight antibiotic resistance is to research and develop new drugs. Curcuma domestica is a plant that is widely used in Indonesia and some research said that it has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial effect. Aim: The aim of this study is to find the antibacterial effect of Curcuma domestica ethanolic extract on Group A Streptococcus β hemolyticus and find the Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) value. Methods : This was in vitro experimental study with broth microdilution method and inoculation on agar blood media to find the MBC. Treatment group consisting of, media (Mueller Hinton Blood Broth), Group A Streptococcus β hemolyticus bacteria, and 5 concentrations (312.5 µg/ml, 625 µg/ml, 1250 µg/ml, 2500 µg/ml, 5000 µg/ml) of Curcuma domestica extract. Result : There is no bacterial growth at 5000 µg/ml concentration on solid media, but there are less bacterial growth at 2500 µg/ml than at concentration 312.5 µg/ml, 625 µg/ml, 1250 µg/ml. Conclusion: There is an antibacterial effect of Curcuma domestica ethanolic extract on Group A Streptococcus β hemolyticus with MBC value in range 2500 -5000 µg/ml.
