Background: Pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis with a treatment period of 6 months to more than one year. The prevalence of pulmonary TB in Indonesia in 2013 was 40% and in South Sumatra in 2018 was 40%. The management of pulmonary TB patients involves several things, namely adequate rest, anti-tuberculosis drug (ATD) therapy, and adequate food intake (sufficient) to recover the patients' pulmonary TB. Purpose in this study investigated the relationship between energy and protein intake, iron, and vitamin C with Hemoglobin (Hb) status in pulmonary TB patients. Method: The type of research used is an observational analytic study with a cross sectional research design with a sample size of 50 human subjects. Participants were selected according to the inclusion criteria and interviewed using a prepared questionnaire. Participants' food intake was obtained using a 24-hour food recall method for 3 days. Body weight, height, and blood pressure were measured. Blood samples were taken to determine the participants' hemoglobin levels Result: There was no relationship between the Hb value and energy intake (p = 0.658) and protein (p = 0.357), while there was a relationship between the Hb value and iron intake (p = 0.012) and vitamin C (p = 0.001). Conclusion: The results of statistical tests showed a relationship between the Hb value with iron and vitamin C intake, while the energy and protein intake had no relationship with the Hb level in pulmonary TB patients.

The purpose of this study was to increase children's knowledge of maintaining oral and dental hygiene. this method uses pretest-posttest. The target is 30 Madrasah students. The results showed that the use of snakes and ladders educational media about dental and oral hygiene increased knowledge and changed attitudes before playing snakes and ladders media. From the snake and ladder game, it is proven that it can increase the knowledge of 3rd grade Madrasah students in maintaining oral and dental hygiene.

Plaque is a soft deposit that is tightly attached to the surface of a tooth consisting of microorganisms that multiply in an intercellular matrix when someone neglects the cleanliness of their teeth and mouth. Plaque can be cleaned mechanically or chemically. One of the ways to clean plaque is by consuming apple because it contains tannins which are as astringent and as antiseptic. Through the fiber content that can clean the remaining dental plaque by biting and chewingthe apple, itcan make the apple having the power of self-cleansing. This study aims to analyze the effect of apples as selfcleansing to reduce plaque scoreson Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Tarbiyah Islamiyah students Palembang. The method used in this study isan analytic survey method. There were 60 people used as the samples which consisting of 30 people consuming apples as the intervention group and 30 people not consuming apples as the control group with the total population of the school is 189 people. The sampleswere taken from the non-random population by using the Purposive Sampling Techniquewhich based on a particular consideration made by the researcher after the characteristics of the population have been known. This study shows that the criteria after consuming apples with good categories are 28 people (93.3%) while the criteria after not consuming apples with good categories are 11 people (36.7%).In short, consuming apples is better than not consuming apples after eating a main course. The result of Chi-Square test and Kolmogorov Smirnov Z test are p = 0,000. We can conclude that there is a significant effect (p <0.05) of consuming apples to reduce plaque scores.
Background: Health is the most important part in human life. Plaque is a soft deposit, which is firmly attached to the surface of the teeth. Bay leaves (Syzygium polyanthum) which contain active compounds such as tannins, flavonoids and essential oils that can inhibit bacterial growth. Title: The Effectiveness of Gargling with Bay Leaf Decoction on Decreasing Plaque Score in Adults in Sukabangun 1 RT 19 Sukarami District. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of gargling boiled water with bay leaves on reducing plaque scores. Methods: this study uses a quasi- experimental research method (quasi-experimental). Respondents: adults in Sukabangun 1 RT 19, Sukarami District. Results: The results of the One Way Annova statistical test on plaque index examination before gargling with boiled water, 1 hour after, and 2 hours after with good, moderate, and bad criteria, obtained a P-value of 0.010 which means significant, meaning for gargling water Salam leaf decoction with PHP can reduce plaque scores. Conclusions: 1. The average plaque index before gargling with bay leaf boiled water was 3.09 (Medium) 2. The average decrease in plaque index after gargling was 2.45 (Medium) 3. The effectiveness of bay leaf decoction is able to reduce plaque scores in the treatment before rinsing and after rinsing, this is evidenced by the decrease in plaque scores and the One Way Annova statistical test.
