Background: Physical fitness determines the level of human health. A good physical fitness can be achieved if conducted with a balance and active physical fitness. The aims of this study was to elucidate the effect of balanced physical exercise on physical fitness, endorphin levels, and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. Methods: This study was a true experimental with pretest-posttest control group design using 24 students of IKIP PGRI Denpasar. Selected samples divided into two groups: the control group given conventional physical training (P0) and the treatment group given balanced physical training (P1). Physical fitness tests was performed using Cooper method and blood sampling was done to evaluate the level of endorphins and MDA before (pre test) and after (post test) treatment of 8 weeks. The data of endorphin and MDA levels were analyzed using independent T test. Whereas, the physical fitness was analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test. Results: Physical fitness of the group given a balanced physical training was significantly higher compare to the group given a conventional physical training (p < 0.05). Balanced physical training was proven to enhance physical fitness as measured by the Cooper method better than conventional physical training. In contrast, the levels of endorphins of the balanced physical training group did not different with the conventional physical training group (p > 0.05). Levels of MDA of balanced physical training group also did not different with the conventional physical training group (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Balanced physical training can maintain physical fitness of people and improve the health and quality of life.
WHO reported that there were 356,955,803 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 5,610,291 deaths worldwide as of January 26, 2022 [1]. Meanwhile in Indonesia as of January 26, 2022, there were 4,301,193 positive cases of COVID- 19 and 144,254 deaths had been determined by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia and the North Sulawesi Provincial Health Office reported 34,786 positive cases and 1,046 deaths [2]. During the COVID-19 pandemic, based on case reports, there were COVID-19 patients whose blood glucose levels increased while undergoing treatment at the hospital, even though these patients had no history of Diabetes mellitus. The effect of COVID-19 on increasing blood sugar levels is still not fully understood. Currently, while COVID-19 is still spreading, there is a need for continuous improvement in knowledge about the effective management of blood sugar control during COVID-19 infection. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between blood glucose levels and clinical outcomes of COVID-19 patients undergoing treatment at the hospital. This research is a retrospective analysis using medical record data of Covid-19 patients treated at Sentra Medika Minahasa Utara Hospital for the period of March 2021 to August 2021. The results showed a significant relationship between elevated blood sugar levels and poor clinical outcomes in COVID-19 patients.
Adolescence is a vulnerable age group to nutrition imbalance disorders. One complication of high anthropometric level is increased blood pressure or hypertension. This study was aimed to determine the relationship between body mass index and waist size to blood pressure among senior high school students in Tomohon. This was an analytical observational study with a cross sectional design. Subjects were 307 students of SMA Kristen 2 Binsus Tomohon consisting of 139 males and 168 females. Measurement of weight, height, and waist circumference (WC) as well as calculation of body mass index (BMI) were performed on all subjects. The Kolmogorof-Smirnov test showed that the data were not distributed normally. The Spearman correlation test obtained a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05) for the correlation between BMI and WC to blood pressure (systolic and diastolic blood pressures). In conclusion, there were significant relationships between BMI and blood pressure as well as between waist circumference and blood pressure.Keywords: body mass index, waist size, blood pressure Abstrak: Usia remaja sangat rentan terhadap gangguan keseimbangan gizi.

Simpulan penelitian ini ialah terdapat hubungan bermakna antara indeks massa tubuh dan lingkar pinggang dengan tekanan darah.Kata kunci: indeks massa tubuh, lingkar pinggang, tekanan darah
Sodium intake is very important in the mechanism of increasing blood pressure [1]. The effect of sodium intake in increasing blood pressure is through an increase in plasma volume (body fluid) and blood pressure [2]. The research was conducted in the form of an analytic survey with a cross-sectional study design. The data were processed using the SPSS program. The population is all students of SMAN 1 Amurang, South Minahasa District, the sample is taken by total sampling. From 67 samples, the minimum sodium content was 137 mEq/L and the maximum sodium content was 164. The average Na content was 143.54 mEq/L. The average systolic blood pressure was 119.04 mmHg and the average diastolic blood pressure was 79.70 mmHg. Based on the results of the Spearman correlation test, the correlation coefficient value (R = 0.069) with a significance of 0.579 for the correlation between sodium levels and systolic pressure. These results indicate that there is no statistically significant relationship between Na levels and systolic blood pressure. For the other Spearman correlation test results, the correlation coefficient value (R=-0.089) with a significance of 0.473 for the correlation between sodium levels and diastolic pressure. These results also show that there is no statistically significant relationship between sodium levels and diastolic blood pressure. It can be concluded that there is no relationship between serum sodium levels and blood pressure in adolescents in Amurang, South Minahasa District.
Alcohol consumption has some effect on myocardial infarction (heart attack), and could decrease low density lipoprotein (LDL) level as well as increase high density lipoprotein (HDL) level. This study was aimed to determine the relationship between alcohol consumption and HDL level. This was an analytical study with a cross sectional design. Subjects were students of Faculty of Social and Political Sciences at Sam Ratulangi University. Data were analyzed by using the Spearman correlation test (significancy <0.05). The results showed that 31 students were involved in this study. There were 26 students (83.87%) with normal HDL levels and 5 students (16.13%) with abnormal HDL levels. The Spearman test of the correlation between alcohol consumption (frequency, duration, and the amount of alcohol consumption) and HDL level showed the P values, as follows: P=0.256, P=0.410, and P=0.459. Conclusion: There was no correlation between alcohol consumption and HDL level.Keywords: alcohol, HDL levels Abstrak: Konsumsi alkohol diketahui memiliki efek terhadap infark miokard, penurunan kadar low density lipoprotein (LDL), dan peningkatan kadar high density lipoprotein (HDL).

We reported a suspected pregnancy associated with 2-month-vaginal bleeding in a 42-year-old female. She was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism associated with mola hydatidosa. The diagnosis of hyperthyroidism was based on anamnesis, and physical, labo-ratory, and radiological examinations. We found palpitation, weakness, loss of weight, much sweating, tachicardia, and some enlargement of the thyroid glands. The laboratory examina-tion showed an increase of hCG and free T4, in addition to a decrease of TSHs. In the USG examination we found a snow-like pattern. The histopathological examination showed avas-cularization with hydrophic degeneration of the villi, and cysterna formation, all of which concluded that it was a mola hydatidosa pregnancy. The patient was treated with PTU 100 mg and propanolol 10 mg three times daily for the hyperthyroidism, and a total hysterectomy operation for the mola hydatidosa pregnancy. Prognosis of the patient was dubious. Key words: hyperthyroid, mola hydatidosa, hCG, FT4, TSHs.
