Tujuan: Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pengobatan tradisional Bali, dengan mengambil fokus kajian pada pengobatan yang tertuang dalam lontar Usadha Tiwang. Metode penelitian: Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kepustakaan (Library Research). Unit analisis berupa naskah lontar Usadha Tiwang, yang telah ditransliterasi dari aksara Bali ke aksara Latin. Temuan: Hasil penelitian diketahui bahwa tiwang adalah penyakit yang mempunyai gejala badan terasa meluang, sakit dan ngilu, gelisah, mata mendelik, otot kaku bahkan sampai pingsan. Jenis tiwang dicirikan berdasarkan gejala yang muncul. Pengobatan dilaksanakan secara holistik oleh pengusada sesuai tatalaksana pengusada, dengan menggunakan ramuan obat-obatan yang terbuat dari campuran berbagai jenis tumbuh-tumbuhan atau bahan lainnya seperti arak, lengis tanusan, garam, gula, kapur, maupun santen, bahkan tain seksek serta iduh bang. Penggunaannya dengan cara dimakan, diminum, ditutuhkan, disemburkan, diuapkan atau dilulurkan, maupun ditempelkan. Takaran, cara pengolahan, serta cara pemakaian masih belum jelas. Implikasi: Masyarakat Bali tetap percaya terhadap sistim pengobatan tradisional Bali. Namun demikian, masyarakat Bali yang berobat ke tempat praktik pengobatan tradisional sangat sedikit. Simpulannya adalah pengobatan tradisional Bali dilakukan secara holistik untuk mencapai keseimbangan antara shtula sarira-suksma sarira-antahkarana sarira.
Background: Refilled drinking water given by depots that currently have a permit for operation can be used to meet the community's drinking water demands. However, the quality of refilled drinking water has been tainted with pathogens that can cause health problems. Purpose: To assess the quality of replenished drinking water in Sesetan Village using Most Probable Number (MPN) Coliform and Escherichia coli as indicators. Method: A qualitative approach to descriptive observational research. The Ministry of Health standard 492/Menkes/PER/IV/2010 is used to assess drinking water quality. In this investigation, ten samples were used. Sampling was conducted in Sesetan Village, South Denpasar, Bali. Result: MPN Coliform was found in four samples: 96 MPN/100 mL (X1), 38 MPN/100 mL (X7), 15 MPN/100 mL (X8), and 5 MPN/100 mL (X10). Meanwhile, all of the samples tested negative for Escherichia coli. Conclusion: Based on drinking water quality criteria, 4 (40%) refilled drinking water depots (DAMIU) did not meet quality requirements (Ministry of Health Regulation number 492/Menkes/PER/2010).
This research objective examined the source of pollutants, water quality and water pollution level of Buyan Lake. The research conducted field observation to identify the source of pollutants, measuring the water quality and water pollution level of Lake Buyan compared to the standard of environmental quality and damage criteria. This research employed the newest standard measurement and equipment in purpose of water and wastewater inspection. Furthermore, this research used STORET method to analys the pollution level. The results discovered that the pollutant’s source was the settlement and agricultural activities around Buyan Lake. The average value of physical parameters i.e temperature, dissolved residue (TDS), suspended residue (TSS), turbidity and brightness are 23.02 oC; 127 mg.L-1, 4.71 mg L-1, 12.52 JTU; and 133.6 cm respectively. The average values ??of the chemical parameters i.e. pH, DO, BOD5, COD, NO3, NO2, Ammonia and Phosphate are 7.48, 5.95 mg.L-1*, 25.46 mg.L-1*, 42.99 mg.L-1*, 1.25 mg.L-1, 0.054 mg.L-1, 0.158 mg.L-1, and 0.149 mg.L-1 respectively. The average values ??of bacteriological parameters i.e Fecal Coliform and Total Coliform are 32.8 MPN/100 ml and 392 MPN/100 ml. The comparation results showed that DO, BOD5, COD, NO2, ammonia, phosphate, fecal coliform and total coliform exceed the Class I Standard of Water Quality. STRORET analysis confirmed a high level of pollution i.e. -40. The overall results show that Buyan Lake water is in the heavily polluted category due to domestic and agricultural activities. Keywords: Buyan Lake; Pollutant Sources; Pollution Level and Water Quality.
Hypertension fluctuates significantly every year, especially in Jembrana Regency. Long-term consumption of the drug may result in complications. This study aims to analyze the efficacy of foot soak hydrotherapy in lowering the blood pressure of hypertension sufferers in Dauhwaru Village, Jembrana. Experimental research design with one group pretest-posttest design without any control group. In 37 respondents with hypertension, the treatment consisted of 20 minutes of hydrotherapy in which the feet were immersed in 25-centimeter-deep water. The data was analyzed using a Paired T-Test and descriptive tests. The results showed that respondents aged 31–40 years (51.4%), male (54.1%), independent entrepreneurial work (40.5%), senior high school graduate education (35.1%), a daily work duration of > 12 hours/day, and respondents who had used anti-hypertensive medications for 6–8 years (37.8%) dominated the age characteristics. Hence, the results obtained from the T-test obtained a probability value (2-tailed) of 0,000 < 0.01. Hence, there is a very noticeable difference in blood pressure before and after being given foot-soak hydrotherapeutic treatment in hypertension patients in Dauhwaru Village, with a lowering in systolic blood pressure of 124.3 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure of 0.62.2 mmHg. Therefore, hydrotherapy soak feet is effective in lowering blood pressure.
COVID-19 has become a pandemic and has caused concern for people worldwide. The rapid spread of the disease requires health care providers and health workers to be able to diagnose precisely, quickly, and accurately to speed up the stages of treatment. Reviews and procedures for implementing clinical diagnostics of SARS-CoV-2 have not been widely reported. This study aimed to analyze the differences in diagnostic procedures for COVID-19 virus infection using the smear method at the Graha Medika Clinic. Observational descriptive research was conducted in July 2022. The research took place at the Graha Medika Clinic by screening patients who took the COVID-19 examination using the smear method (antigen swab, PCR swab, and rapid antigen). The study results obtained that one (10%) out of ten people infected with COVID-19 were on the antigen swab examination. There are differences in clinical diagnostics of COVID-19 infection using the smear method, namely in the antigen swab, the test time tends to be fast compared to PCR but is somewhat less accurate; rapid antigen only detects viruses that have taken place acutely with low accuracy while PCR is used as an accurate diagnostic by identifying proteins and viral glycans molecularly, has excellent accuracy but requires experts and a long time. The clinical diagnosis of COVID-19 infection using the smear method is currently adequate. The recommended examination method for the COVID-19 examination is carried out in stages, starting from rapid antigen, antigen swab, and PCR swab. PCR swab examination is the gold standard for detecting viral genetic material.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
