Hygiene diartikan sebagai ilmu yg berkenaan dengan masalah kesehatan dan berbagai usaha untuk mempertahankan atau memperbaiki kesehatan.kebersihan lingkungan merupakan salah satu faktor yang sangat mempengaruhi tingkat kesehatan bagi lingkungan dan individu. Pemahaman tentang hygiene masih dikategorikan cukup, hal ini dapat terlihat dari kebiasaan anak-anak yang selalu membuang sampai sembarangan. Tujuan kegiatan ini ialah untuk memberikan pemahaman terhadap pentingnya menjaga kesehatan dan mendeteksi tingkat kebersihan terhadap siswa-sekolah menengah atas. Metode yang digunakan ialah berupa pemantauan kebersihan lingkungan dan penyuluhan. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa lingkungan sekolah menengah atas sudah masuk dalam kategori cukup bersih namun ada beberapa hal yang harus dibenahi yakni pengetahuan terhadap pentingnya menjaga kesehatan serta dampak yang akan diperoleh jika tidak bisa mengendalikan kebersihan secara berkesinambungan.
Fragrant pandanus leaf plant (Pandanus amaryllifolius Roxb) contains antibacterial compounds such as flavonoids, alcolloids, saponins, and tannins. One alternative to overcome Escherichia coli bacterial infection is the use of fragrant pandanus leaves (Pandanus amaryllifolius Roxb). This study aims to determine the effectiveness of fragrant pandan leaf extract (Pandanus amarllyfolius Roxb) against the growth of Escherichia coli bacteria. This type of research is experimental using the disc diffusion method. Fragrant pandanus leaves are extracted by maceration method using ethanol 96% as a solvent. The results of the study found that the average diameter of the bland zone at a concentration of 25% is 6 mm, at a concentration of 50% is 11.7 mm, the concentration of 75% is 12.3 mm, at positive control (Chloramphenicol) is 25 mm, and negative control (ethanol 96%) is 6 mm. The conclusion of the study is the pandan leaves extract can inhibit the growth of bacteria Escherichia coli.
Green Nanotechnology utilizing various plant extracts (phytogenic) has widely known and proven as ecofriendly and inexpensive scientific approach with numerous potentials in medical treatments. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) has been commonly used in home cleaning products, wound dressing and antimicrobial coating for medical equipment. Furthermore, Ananas comosus (L.) Merr. (AC) is an exotic tropical fruit, found abundantly in Riau Province. It is rich on bromelain enzyme in addition to its potential as antibacterial, antioxidant as well as anticancer. Contrarily, utilization of waste from plants, fruits and food as alternative natural reduction and capping agents from metal ion nanoparticles is still being developed. Combining these two elements has an immense potential as an effective alternative therapeutic substance in the near future. The purpose of this research is to analyze AgNPs from AC by characterizing the product of biosynthesis. Furthermore, this research will also observe antimicrobial activity of AC-AgNPs against Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). As a result, the biosynthesis produced AC-AgNPs which showed the ability to inhibit the growth of MRSA with an average of 10.59 mm, 20% more effective compared to pure AC extract. AC-AgNPs formation were characterized using UV–visible spectroscopy in the interval of 439– 486 nm.
Tuberkulosis merupakan penyakit infeksi yang disebabkan oleh Mycobacterium Tuberculosis yang bersifat menular. Indonesia sendiri menepati urutan ketiga Negara penderita Tuberkulosis (Tb) tertinggi di dunia. Kasus Tuberkulosis (Tb) di Riau dari tahun ketahun semakin meningkat, untuk itu dibutuhkan pengobatan OAT (Obat Anti Tuberkulosis), yang terdiri dari isozianid, etambutom, pirazinamid, rimfampicin, dan streptomisin, yang dikonsumsi selama 6 bulan. OAT memiliki efek samping yang dapat menyebabkan gangguan fungsi hati ditandai dengan meningkatnya kadar bilirubin. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui kadar bilirubin direct pada penderita Tb paru sebelum dan sesudah pengobatan Intensif selama satu bulan di Puskesmas Pekanbaru. Desain yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah eksperimen dengan rancangan pre-post analitik, yaitu mengamati perubahan-perubahan yang terjadi pada objek tersebut. Jumlah sampel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini, sebelum mengkonsumsi obat sebanyak 10 orang dan setelah satu bulan mengkonsumsi obat sebanyak 10 orang. Hasil penelitian kadar bilirubin direct sebelum mengkonsumsi obat persentasenya 50% diatas normal dan dari hasil penelitian setelah mengkonsumsi obat selama satu bulan presentasenya 40% diatas normal.
