The results showed that there were significant differences between the glucometer and glucose analyzer examination 2 hours pp based on the results of paired t test with sig value greater than 0.05 and the average levels of the glucometer 207.65 mg / dl and analyzer 193.85 mg / dl.
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.

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)
Kabupaten Sumenep merupakan salah satu kabupaten yang ada di pulau Madura, yang sebagian masyarakatnya tinggal di pesisir pantai yang berprofesi sebagai nelayan. Tempat tinggal para nelayan tersebut tidak jauh dari tempat nelayan mencari ikan sehingga anak-anak para nelayan banyak mengahbiskan waktu untuk bermain di pesisir pantai. Mereka sering bermain di pantai tanpa menggunakan alas kaki. Hal tersebut dikhawatirkan menimbulkan infeksi kecacingan yang dapat membuat kadar hemoglobin menjadi rendah. Rendahnya kadar hemoglobin dapat membuat anak-anak menjadi lemah, pucat, lesu, kurang bersemangat dan menurunnya konsentrasi belajar. Berdasarkan penelitian yang telah dilakukan pada anak-anak di pesisir Desa Ambunten ini didapatkan beberapa anak-anak mengalami penurunan kadar hemoglobin. Tujuan pengabdian ini adalah untuk memberikan penyuluhan kepada orang tua dan upaya peningkatan kesehatan kepada anak-anak di pesisir pantai Desa Ambunten sebanyak 23 anak dengan metode menjelaskan atau penyuluhan kepada orang tua serta anak-anak dan memberikan vitamin anak. Orang tua belum memiliki pemahaman tentang akibat dari penyakit kecacingan yang dapat menurunkan kadar hemoglobin serta efek terhadap kesehatan dan konsentrasi belajar anak. Anak-anak dibiarkan dalam kesehariannya bermain di pantai tanpa menggunakan alas kaki dan menjaga kebersihannya. Apabila dibiarkan terus-menerus maka dapat mengakibatkan keparahan yaitu anemia defisiensi besi. Memberikan penjelasan atau penyuluhan kepada orang tua serta anak bisa meningkatkan pengetahuan tentang pentingnya Kesehatan anak dan memberikan vitamin anak merupakan upaya dalam meningkatkan kesehatan anak demi generasi yang cerdas.
The screening blood test is a stage that is carried out by each PMI to ensure the safety before blood transfusion. It is usually done on antibodies (Ab) such as anti-HCV, anti-HIV, TPHA or antigen (Ag) such as HBsAg. HBsAg is the outer coat protein of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and a sign that the individual has been infected with the hepatitis B virus. Hepatitis B virus can cause acute problems and even cirrhosis of the liver. One of the screening blood test methods which is used to detect hepatitis B is ELISA (Enzyme Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay) method. This research was conducted at UTD PMI Sampang by using the data collection in February 2020, and aimed to find out the overview of HBsAg examination results on the screening blood test using ELISA method based on age and sex. Based on the screening blood test, 9 people (3%) were reactive HBsAg and 345 people (97%) were non-reactive. In the age category, the highest number of reactive HBsAg donors was in the age group of 18-24 years old, that was 4 donors (1.1%), while the highest number of non-reactive HBsAg donors was in the age group of 25-44 years old, that was 184 people ( 51.9%). In the gender category, donors with the most reactive HBsAg results were male, that was 8 people (2.3%) and donors with the highest non-reactive HBsAg results was male, that was 283 people (79.9%). In order to minimize hepatitis B, it is expected that society should avoid activities which can cause hepatitis B infection. Keywords : HBsAg, Blood Transfusion, Screening Blood Test
Sugar disease or diabetes is commonly known in medical terms with diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a disease characterized by an increase in blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia) that occurs due to the body's lack of the hormone insulin both absolute and relative. Glucose is a form of carbohydrate metabolism that functions as the main source of energy controlled by insulin. Excess glucose is converted into glycogen which will be stored in the liver and muscles for backup if needed. Increased blood glucose levels occur in patients with Impaired Glucose Tolerance (TGT), Impaired Fasting Blood Sugar (GDPT) and Diabetes Mellitus. Service activities in the form of education related to the dangers of Diabetes Mellitus, the use of natural ingredients as an alternative to lowering sugar levels and checking Random Blood Sugar levels. There is an increase in public knowledge because the post-test value is higher when compared to the pre-test value. The average pre-test score is 38.3 points while the average post-test score is 79.2 points. And the results of the GDA examination stated 23 people whose results were above normal and 13 people whose results were still within the normal range.
Thyroid disorder disease ranks second most in the list of metabolic diseases after diabetes mellitus (DM). Thyroid disease or Thyroid abnormalities is a condition of abnormalities in a person due to the disorder of the thyroid gland. TSH is a primary factor that controls thyroid cell growth and synthesis also thyroid hormone secretion. TSH secretion is stimulated by low levels of T3 and T4 and by the hormone TRH (Thyroid Releasing Hormone) the hypothalamus is inhibited by elevated levels of T3 and T4. T3 and T4 are circulating in the plasma, most of which are bound with proteins, Thyroid Binding Globulin (TBG) and a small part in free form that are Free Triiodotironine (FT3) and Free Thyroxine (FT4). The free hormone (FT3 and FT4) is an actively metabolic fraction which is known to be quantitative. Currently the measurement of free hormone levels should be part of a complete examination of the status of the thyroid gland.The purpose analyzes the levels of TSH, FT4 and proves the relationship between the two in patients with thyroid disorders. This examination by using ELISA method is with EIA competitive principles and sandwiches. The samples are serum of patients with thyroid disorders at RSUD Bangkalan and Farmalab Laboratory from October to November 2017.The 30 samples obtaines an average result of TSH level of 1.9 mIU / L and an average FT4 level of 2.8 ng / dl. Next test Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Spearrman's test results obtained if the variable one value rose (high) then the other variable down (low). It can be concluded that there is an opposite relationship between TSH levels and FT4 levels, if TSH levels increase, the FT4 level decreases, and so it is also in contrast
Activated Partial Thromboplastine Time (APTT) is a type of hemostasis examination with citrate anticoagulant 3.2% ratio 1:9. Ethylene Diamine Tetraacetic Acid (EDTA) is one of the examination materials for hematology which is often used as an anticoagulant. Apart from EDTA, other types of anticoagulants are sodium citrate and potassium oxalate. The three anticoagulants work to bind calcium ions. The purpose of this examination is to determine the use of various anticoagulants on the quality of the results of the Activated Partial Thromboplastine Time (APCT) examination. The method used in this study is an experimental study with 3 sample groups, each consisting of 9 samples in one group. The SPSS results showed a probability value of 0.000 with the Anova test, the average results of the APTT examination were administration of sodium citrate anticoagulant 25.9 seconds, potassium oxalate 70.92 seconds, and EDTA 37.5 seconds. Based on the results of these studies, there are significant differences related to the use of various anticoagulants on the quality of the results of the Activated Partial Thromboplastine Time (APTT) examination.Keywords : Activated Partial Thromboplastine Time, Antikoagulans,
