Food-borne diseases can be transmitted through raw vegetables contaminated with bacteria and intestinal parasites. The study aimed to determine bacteria and intestinal parasites that contaminate raw vegetables in traditional markets. In this study, we collected raw vegetables from eight traditional markets. We chose randomly at each market five samples of vegetables that usually consumed in raw, like lettuce, tomato, cabbage, basil, long bean, and cucumber. The bacteria were identified by culture and microbiological test and the intestinal parasites were identified using sedimentation and floatation methods. This study showed that all of raw vegetables were contaminated with <em>Escherichia coli</em> (E. coli) (91%), <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> (84%), and <em>Vibrio cholera</em> (79%). Besides bacteria, 36% of samples were contaminated by soil-transmitted helminths (STH), and intestinal protozoa contaminated 27% of samples. Lettuce was the most contaminated vegetable with bacteria and intestinal parasites. The results of this study proved that there was bacterial contamination as well as intestinal parasites in raw vegetables sold in traditional markets which could be a source of spread of food-borne diseases. Therefore, handling raw vegetables properly is needed as an effort to prevent it.

Pharmacogenomics currently has an essential role in drug discovery and development. Research related to pharmacogenomics has increased rapidly since the human genome project was completed in the early 20th century, increasing awareness of the importance of personalized medicine, which is expected to be safer and more beneficial for human health. Therefore, this article aims to review recent developments regarding pharmacogenomics in drug discovery and development. In addition, this article will also discuss the challenges that still exist in the implementation of pharmacogenomics in drug development and clinical practice. It is hoped that these challenges can be overcome in the future with collaboration between researchers, practitioners, and the government so that precision and personalized therapy can be realized for each individual.

Chronic exposure to insecticides, even at low levels, has led to chronic neurotoxicity. Adolescent brain is still undergoing important developments, including in the hippocampus. This study investigated neurotoxicity effects of subacute exposure to chlorpyrifos, carbofuran and cypermethrin in the brain of adolescent rats. This study was performed at the Histology, Biochemistry, and Animal House Laboratory of Jember University from November to December 2021. Subjects were divided into five groups: normal, control, chlorpyrifos, carbofuran, and cypermethrin. Short-term memory was evaluated by Y maze test and tissue damage was evaluated by histological examination. Brain MDA levels were determined by thiobarbituric acid reactive substance method to evaluate the oxidative stress effect on the organ. This study showed spontaneous alternation in the Y maze test and the number of pyramidal neurons in hippocampus decreased in the cypermethrin group. There was a significant elevation of brain MDA level in carbofuran and cypermethrin groups. Thus, cypermethrin causes more severe neurotoxicity than carbofuran and chlorpyrifos. Improvements in the insecticide application management are urgently needed to prevent neurotoxicity.

: Health problems are classic problems that still often occur, especially during a pandemic. The problem in terms of health in Sumber Gresik Hamlet is quite severe which is due to the lack of public health awareness. There are still people who live with unhealthy lifestyle habits. The purpose of this service activity is to provide ideas for community empowerment with alternative solutions in the form of education on household herbal medicine management. The method used is outreach to the community and poster distribution. In this service activity, the researchers collaborated with the youth groups of Dusun Sumber Gresik as a place for counseling on herbal medicine processing. The results of community service are increasing the motivation of villagers and changing their mindset about being more aware of caring for health and the environment.

Lettuce is a vegetable that is usually consumed in raw condition or unprocessed by people. Unprocessed vegetables can cause food-borne diseases.  Lettuce that is not processed and being consumed directly can cause contamination by Coliform bacteria. The purpose of this study is to know the correlation between Greengrocer’s personal hygiene and Coliform bacteria contamination in lettuce in Jembertraditional markets. This research used a descriptive observational design with the cross-sectional approach. It took place in eight traditional markets in Jember Regency and Microbiology Laboratory, Faculty of Medicine, University of Jember. The samples used were 41 lettuces purchased from 41 traditional market sellers. The microbiological examination was performed in the laboratory using the most probable number method. The results showed that lettuce sellers had bad personal hygiene (92,7%) and the data from the most probable number test found 97,6% contaminated by Coliform bacteria. The bivariate analysis was used to know the relationship between personal hygiene vegetable seller and contamination Coliform bacteria in lettuce. Thep-value was 0,072, which means there was no relationship between personal hygiene vegetable seller and contamination Coliform bacteria in lettuce.
