The rates of cases and deaths from COVID-19 started to decline following the increased coverage of vaccination. In Indonesia, the coverage of COVID-19 vaccination has not met the national target, including in Ambon City. By conducting a webinar, this activity aimed at improving the knowledge of the development and the importance of the COVID-19 vaccination program amongst the academic community of Pattimura University and health workers at Dr. M Haulussy Hospital, the main COVID-19 referral hospital in Ambon City.This webinar was conducted by the Faculty of Medicine of Pattimura University (FK UNPATTI) on 10 December 2021 as part of the efforts to accelerate the COVID-19 vaccination coverage in Ambon. There were 275 participants (including students, lecturers and health workers from Dr. M. Haulussy Hospital, the main referral hospital in Ambon City) filled out the evaluation questionnaires (pre- and post-test). Resource persons were from the Health Office of Ambon City, FK UNPATTI’s research team members for COVID-19 acceptance, and leaders of FK UNPATTI. We found an increased percentage of correct answers in the results of the post-test evaluation. At the pre-test, the average percentage of correct answers was 87.4%, and in the post-test the percentage increased to 92.8%. In the pre-test, 89% of participants were categorized as having a high level of knowledge, while in the post-test evaluation, the percentage increased to 93.4%. This webinar could improve participants’ knowledge and therefore could be conducted in the future as part of FK UNPATTI contributions in preventing COVID-19 transmission in Ambon City. ABSTRAK Jumlah kasus dan kematian akibat COVID-19 terus mengalami penurunan seiring meningkatnya cakupan vaksinasi. Di Indonesia, cakupan vaksinasi COVID-19 sayangnya masih belum memenuhi target nasional, termasuk di wilayah Kota Ambon. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan civitas akademika Universitas Pattimura serta tenaga Kesehatan di RSUD Dr. M Haulussy sebagai RS rujukan utama COVID-19 di Kota Ambon tentang perkembangan dan pentingnya program vaksinasi COVID-19. Kegiatan dilakukan oleh Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Pattimura (FK UNPATTI) pada 10 Desember 2021 dalam bentuk webinar edukasi. Sebanyak 275 peserta (termasuk mahasiswa, staf pengajar, serta tenaga kesehatan RSUD Dr. M. Haulussy) mengisi secara lengkap kuesioner evaluasi (pre- dan post-test). Narasumbe dalam webinar ini berasal dari Dinas Kesehatan Kota Ambon, tim peneliti studi penerimaan vaksinasi COVID-19 dari FK UNPATTI, serta pimpinan FK UNPATTI. Pengisian kuesioner pre dan post-test menunjukkan peningkatan persentase jawaban benar peseta webinar pada evaluasi post-test. Pada pre-test, rerata persentase jawaban benar peserta adalah 87,4% sedangkan pada post-test meningkat menjadi 92,8%. Pada evaluasi pre-test, 89% peserta dikategorikan memiliki pengetahuan tinggi, sedangkan pada post-test, persentase ini meningkat menjadi 93,4%. Kegiatan webinar ini diharpakan dapat dilakukan untuk mendukung peningkatan pengetahuan peserta dan sekaligus sebagai kontribusi FK UNPATTI dalam pengendalian transmisi COVID-19 di Kota Ambon.
Highlights : Alternative medicine is needed for pityriasis versicolor because there are recurrence cases and resistance to antifungal agents. Kinar leaf ethanol extract cannot inhibit the growth of Malassezia furfur. Further studies are suggested on the type of solvent and appropriate concentration to attract more bioactive compounds. Abstract : Pityriasis versicolor is a superficial dermatomycosis that can decrease human self-confidence. This infection is caused by the fungus Malassezia furfur. Eighty percent of recurrence cases after treatment and resistance to antifungal agents were found. Therefore, alternative medicine is needed. Kinar (Kleinhovia hospita Linn.) is a tropical plant that have bioactive compounds, such as alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of kinar leaf extract against the growth of Malassezia furfur. This research was a laboratory experimental study using paper disc diffusion method. Kinar leaves (green and yellow leaves) were macerated using 96% ethanol and made into concentrations of 10%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%. As much as 200 mg of ketoconazole was used as a positive control and distilled water as a negative control then tested on Malassezia furfur using Sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA). The parameter observed was the clear zone formed around the paper disc. The tests and observations showed that there was a clear zone formed around the paper disc. It means that the kinar leaf extract cannot inhibit the growth of Malassezia furfur.
Pendahuluan: Trikomoniasis merupakan vaginitis yang disebabkan oleh protozoa dan dapat ditransmisikan secara seksual dan non-seksual serta sering muncul astimptomatik. Metode: Dilaporkan satu kasus trikomoniasis asimptomatik pada seorang remaja putri Kasus: Seorang remaja putri berusia 15 tahun diperiksa untuk mencari fokal infeksi pencetus psoriasis vulgaris. Ditemukan keputihan putih hijau, berbau, namun tidak gatal, tanpa rasa nyeri saat berkemih. Pasien belum pernah berhubungan seksual, namun sering bertukar handuk dengan anggota keluarga lain. Pemeriksaan fisik tampak dinding vulvovaginal eritem tanpa udem, duh tubuh berwarna kuning kehijauan. Pemeriksaan sedian basah ditemukan protozoa Trichomonas vaginalis berflagel sedangkan pemeriksan Gram tidak ditemukan leukosit 10-20/LPB, epitel 5-10/ LPB. Tidak ditemukan blastospora, hifa, diplokokus Gram negatif intraseluler dan ektraseluler juga bakteri Gram positif. Diagnosis Trikomoniasis ditegakan dari manifestasi klinis dan pemeriksaan penunjang Hasil: Pada pasien diberikan terapi metronidazole 2 gram dosis tunggal serta edukasi untuk menjaga higenitas personal. Evaluasi manifestasi klinis setelah terapi menunjukan hasil kesembuhan pasien. Kesimpulan: Penegakan diagnosa cepat dan tepat serta pemberian obat sesuai rekomendasi akan memberikan perbaikan klinis dan menghindarkan pasien pada morbiditas komplikasi yang berat. Kata kunci: Trikomoniasis, remaja, asimptomatik
Background: Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a lower genital tract infection, which occur as a result of vaginal microbiome dysbiosis. This vaginal infection can lead to symptoms such as vaginal discharge, malodor and irritation. It is the most common condition occurred in reproductive age but may give 50–75% of asymptomatic signs. Purpose: To overview new BV patients at the Sexually Transmitted Infection Division of Dermatology and Venereology Outpatient Clinic Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya in 2015–2017. Methods: A retrospective study was performed by evaluating medical records of new BV patients, including identity, history taking, examination, diagnosis, treatment, follow up and counselling. Result: The number of new BV cases was 35 (1,38%). The most infected age group was 25–44 years old (51%), and 65.7% of them were married. The most common chief complaint was vaginal discharge without subjective complaints (74.3%), the most common type of complaint was recurrence (48.6%), the most partner roles which affected by BV patients were husbands (51.4%), history of vaginal douching (34.2%), and the most vaginal discharges were severe (75.8%). The whiff test showed positive results and pH > 4.5 in 48.6% of patients. All microscopical preparations showed clue cells. The most prescribed drug was metronidazole. Conclusion: The overview new BV cases showed a small incidence with commonly occurred among women in childbearing age and were asymptomatic. A routine high vaginal swab helps the proper diagnosis and management to prevent the recurrence and complication of BV.
