Work that requires being in a humid area, can cause fungal infections. Skin fungal infections in humans can be divided into two, namely dermatophytosis and non-dermatophytosis. Dermatophytosis is a superficial fungal infection that attacks the keratinized parts of the skin, nails and hair and is caused by 3 genera, namely Microsporum, Epidermophyton, and Trichophyton. While non dermatophytosis is a fungal infection of the outer skin or this type of fungal infection does not reach the keratin tissue. Non-dermatophyte fungi include Aspergillus sp., Malessezia furfur. Due to dermatophyte and non-dermatophyte fungal infections, namely itching of the skin or earlobe. This activity aims to increase the understanding of cleaning workers at one of the universities in Surabaya about the dangers of fungus on the skin, so that they can prevent and anticipate early spread. The method used in this community service activity is the presentation and discussion of the dangers of skin fungal infections. To measure the level of understanding of the participants regarding the dangers of toxoplasmosis, a pretest was conducted at the beginning and at the end of the activity. This activity was attended by 22 janitors, both male and female. The average pretest score is 49,63 points, while the average posttest score is 71,48 points. These results indicate that there is an increase in the knowledge of cleaning workers at one of the universities in Surabaya about the causes, dangers, modes of transmission and methods of preventing skin fungal diseases. Educational activities are expected to be sustainable so that the community can apply steps to prevent skin fungal infections.

ABSTRACT Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death after stroke in all age groups at 12.9%. The main reason is the amount of cholesterol in the blood. Tamarind (Tamarindus indica) is a traditional herb that has the potential to lower cholesterol, because it contains flavonoids, saponins, foliphenols, pectin, organic acids, vitamin B and vitamin C that can lower cholesterol. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of tamarind seed powder (Tamarindus indica) on cholesterol levels. This type of research is experimental with pre-test and post-test with control group research design. The population and sample of this study were a group of mice totaling 32 mice. The location of this research was conducted at the Animal Husbandry Center (PUSVETMA). Data collection procedures were carried out by examining the cholesterol levels of mice before and after treatment. The data obtained were followed up with normality test and independent t test. The results of the study using the unpaired t test gave the result of p=0.000 (p<0.05). The conclusion of this study is that there is an effect of seed powder (Tamarindus indica) on cholesterol levels. Keyword : Seeds Tamarindus indica L., cholesterol levels, Mice (Mus musculus)

Coronavirus Disease (Covid-19) is a new type of virus that has never been  previously identified in humans. Common signs and symptoms of Covid-19 infection include symptoms of acute respiratory distress such as fever, cough and shortness of breath. C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is a protein in serum that causes inflammation in the body. The presence of this inflammatory response causes the levels of CRP in the body to increase significantly. To determine the severity of Covid-19 disease, one of the screening tests used is the CRP examination, starting when clinical symptoms appear, becoming high levels of CRP indicating inflammation or inflammation. This study aims to determine CRP levels in patients who were confirmed positive for Covid-19 at RSU Haji Surabaya. The research method used is descriptive research with secondary data. The sample in the study was 60 patients who had confirmed Covid-19 and performed a CRP test from February to June 2021. The sampling technique used a total sampling technique at the Haji General Hospital Surabaya. The results showed that from 60 confirmed Covid-19 inpatients, 58 patients (96.6%) had CRP levels with high risk criteria or CRP levels > 5 mg/L and 2 patients (3.4%) had CRP levels. with normal criteria or CRP levels < 5 mg/L. Based on the results, it can be concluded that CRP levels are positively correlated with the development and severity of Covid-19 disease.

ABSTRAKPeminum kopi terbanyak hingga saat ini ditempati oleh usia 25-39 tahun. Namun, pengaruh gaya hidup serta maraknya cafe atau restoran yang mengolah kopi menjadi berbagai minuman menarik membuat presentase remaja dan dewasa muda sebagai konsumen kopi semakin meningkat. Pada tahun 2011, 40% dari usia 18-24 tahun mengkonsumsi kopi setiap hari, meningkat dari 31%  pada tahun 2010. Kopi dapat menurunkan kadar glukosa darah dan mengurangi resiko terkena penyakit lainnya karena adanya chlorogenic acid yang merangsang Glucagon-like-peptida-1(GLP-1). Adapun tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui perbandingan kadar glukosa darah sebelum dan sesudah minum kopi. Penelitian dilakukan dengan cara eksperimental menggunakan sampel darah kapiler dari mahasiswa Prodi Analis sebanyak 30 orang. Metode: Metode yangdigunakan untuk pemeriksaan kadar glukosa darah adalah rapidtest yang dibantu alat glukometer easytouch . Hasil: Hasil rerata kadar glukosa sebelum perlakuan sebesar 94,10 mg/dL ± 8,242 mg/dL  dan  sesudah perlakuan sebesar 86,96 mg/dL ± 4,994 mg/dL. Diskusi : Berdasarkan analisis data menggunakan uji t berpasangan didapatkan nilai P=0.000, sehingga dapat disimpulkan ada perbedaan kadar glukosa darah puasa sesudah mengkonsumsi kopi, bahwa kopi dapat menurunkan kadar glukosa darah sebelum dan sesudah minum kopi.Kata Kunci : Kopi, Glukosa darah

The kidneys are important organs that function to maintain blood composition by preventing the accumulation of waste and controlling the balance of fluids in the body. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) has become a major health problem of Indonesian people. Creatinine examination become one of the choices to identify the index of the kidney severity. The purpose of this study was to determine the description of creatinine levels of patients diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). This research used descriptive method. The population of this study was patients with the diagnosis of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) who conduct the examination of creatinine levels in the installation of Pathology ClinicLaboratory which amounted to 100 patients during April to May. This research used the secondary data obtained and collected from the LIS (Laboratory Information System) and the medical record. The result of this study showed tht 73% of 100 patients diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) are not normal, and the 27% data of creatinine levels is normal. Presentations of male patient who experienced levels of creatinine was high, namely 37 patients compared female. The incidence of patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) the highest range of productive age of 20-64 years was 50 patients (68%). The results of the research of the average content on patients diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) obtained the creatinine level average of 4.01 mg/dl.   Keywords: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), Creatinine
