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. Educational activities are expected to be sustainable so that the community can apply steps to prevent skin fungal infections.
This study aims to determine the effect of Aloe vera extract in reducing formaldehyde levels in tuna processed into "pindang" after being given Aloe vera extract. This type of research is experimental. The population in this study was boiled fish sold in the Sawotratap Market. This research was conducted at the Laboratory of Chemistry at the University of Muhammadiyah. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance at a significant level α = 0.05 followed by the Duncan test. The average formaldehyde concentration before being given Aloe vera extract at a concentration of 0% is equal to 23.7 mg / L, and the lowest formalin content in boiled fish with 100% treatment is equal to 5.6 mg / L. Aloe vera extract showed a significant decrease in formaldehyde levels in boiled fish (p <0.05). It can be concluded that the administration of Aloe vera extract is effective in reducing formaldehyde levels.
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,
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.
Background and Objectives: In 2020 the whole world is experiencing a pandemic condition due to infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus which can cause the COVID-19 disease. This condition results in “Panic Buying”, because everyone tries to avoid the spread and transmission of the COVID-19 disease by doing various ways, one of which is by taking additional supplements such as vitamin C and probiotic supplements. Materials and Methods: The materials used were mice Mus musculus male DDY strain aged 1-2 months. Probiotic supplement Lactobacillus acidophilus La-14 with a viability of 1 × 108 CFU/ml. with a weight of 0.16 grams dissolved in 0.25 ml 0.9% NaCl. Vitamin C used is a commercial vitamin C tablet, weighing 0.06 grams in 0.25 ml 0.9% NaCl. Meanwhile, the feed for mice (Mus musculus) is a complete feed from Pokphand with the code BR1 CP511B. Lung histology preparations data were analysed descriptively and statistically through the test Chi square while the data on the number of lymphocytes were analysed descriptively. Results: The histological observations of lungs of Mus musculus showed that in the treatment of ML, MV, and MKA test was carried out chi square ratio between the groups that did not have lymphocyte infiltration and those that had lymphocyte infiltration showed a significant difference (p <0.05). Meanwhile, the results of the lymphocyte count showed that ML and MV treatment was higher than that of MK treatment. Conclusion: It is suggested that the administration of probiotics can stimulate and modulate the respiratory immune system.
