Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common malignancy diagnosed in children. Study of malnutrition prevalence in children with cancer is determined by nutritional status in the early diagnosis. This is important because it can affect patient’s progress before the treatment begins. This study aimed to determine the nutritional status alteration in children with ALL during treatment. This was a descriptive analytical study with a cohort-restrospective design in ALL patients during treatment at Pediatric Department of Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado during period January 2006 to August 2013. Data were obtained from medical records of Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado. There were 31 respondents suffered from ALL at the age of 1 to 11 years old; males were more frquent than females. There were 17 respondents at standard risk while 14 respondents were at high risk. The results result of paired t-test showed that t-value < table value. Conclusion: There was a significant increase of nutritional status in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia during treatment Keywords: acute lymphoblastic leukemia, standard risk, high risk, nutritional status Abstrak: Leukemia Limfoblastik Akut (LLA) merupakan keganasan yang paling sering didiagnosis pada anak-anak. Studi prevalensi malnutrisi pada anak-anak dengan kanker ditentukan oleh status gizi pada awal diagnosis. Hal ini penting karena dapat berpengaruh pada perkembangan pasien sebelum pengobatan dimulai. Penelitina ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perubahan status gizi pada anak dengan LLA selama pengobatan. Jenis penelitian ini deskriptif analitik dengan metode studi kohort-retrospektif terhadap pasien LLA selama pengobatan di Bagian Ilmu Kesehatan Anak RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado selama periode Januari 2006 – Agustus 2013. Sumber data didapatkan dari rekam medik di RSUP Prof. dr. R. D. Kandou Manado. Didapatkan 31 sampel yang menderita LLA pada usia 1-11 tahun, laki-laki lebih banyak menderita LLA. Terdapat 17 sampel dengan risiko standar dan 14 sampel dengan risiko tinggi. Hasil analisis t-berpasangan menunjukan nilai t-hitung<nilai tabel. Simpulan: Terdapat peningkatan status gizi secara bermakna pada anak dengan leukemia limfoblastik akut selama pengobatan.Kata kunci: leukemia limfoblastik akut, risiko standar, risiko tinggi, status gizi

Latar belakang. Escherichia coli (E. coli) penyebab kedua terbanyak diare setelah rotavirus. Diare E. coli sering disertai dengan dehidrasi yang berhubungan dengan morbiditas dan mortalitas anak. Tujuan. Mengetahui peran jumlah koloni E. coli terhadap beratnya derajat dehidrasi diare akut. Metode. Penelitian potong lintang dilakukan di RSUP Manado. Subyek umur 7 bulan-13 tahun dengan diare akut, dinilai derajat dehidrasi, dilakukan kultur tinja dan hitung jumlah koloni. Perbandingan jumlah koloni dan derajat dehidrasi dilakukan uji korelasi Gamma (p<0,05). Hasil. Terdapat 50% Escherichia coli dari 50 anak diare akut. Dehidrasi berat (2/25 anak), dehidrasi ringan sedang (13/25 anak) jumlah koloni >10 5 CFU dan tanpa dehidrasi (10/25 anak) jumlah koloni <10 5 CFU. Analisis korelasi Gamma menyatakan hubungan bermakna jumlah koloni dengan derajat dehidrasi (r G =0,870, nilai p=0,008). Correlation between the Colonies Count of Escherichia Coli with The Grade of Dehydration in Acute DiarrheaFelicia Halim, Sarah M. Warouw, Novie H. Rampengan, Praevilia Salendu Background. Escherichia coli is the second most common cause of diarrhea after rotavirus. Escherichia coli diarrhea is often accompanied by dehydration associated with morbidity and mortality of children. Objective. Knowing the role of the number of colonies of Escherichia coli with the grade of dehydration from acute diarrhea. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted in the hospital in Manado. Subjects aged 7 months-13 years with acute diarrhea were assessed the grade of dehydration, stool cultures taken and count the number of colonies. The number of colonies and the grade of dehydration was compared with Gamma correlation test (p <0.05).Results. There were 50% Escherichia coli in 50 children with acute diarrhea. Severe dehydration (2/25 children), mild to moderate dehydration (13/25 children) with colonies count >10 5 CFU and without dehydration (10/25 children) with colonies count <10

Dental health education conducted to the elementary school students is one of promotive effort to increase oral and dental health. The aim of this study was to know the influence of dental health education about tooth-brushing method toward dental plaque index in the elementary school students of Inpres Lapangan. Research was done in Inpres Lapangan elementary school using quasy experimental method. Samples were taken using total sampling method in a total of 50 respondents. This research used Wilcoxon statistical analysis test. The result showed that before dental health education conducted to the students dental plaque index was moderate category after dental health education conducted, dental plaque index increased to good category. Wilcoxon analysis test showed value of significance p<0,001. This statistical analysis concluded that there was influence of dental health education about tooth brushing method toward dental plaque index of the elementary students in Inpres LapanganKeywords: dental health education,tooth brushing method,plaque indexAbstrak: Penyuluhan cara menyikat gigi pada siswa sekolah dasar merupakan salah satu upaya promotif dalam meningkatkan kesehatan gigi dan mulut anak. Tujuan penelitian ini ialah untuk mengetahui pengaruh penyuluhan cara menyikat gigi terhadap indeks plak gigi pada siswa SD Inpres Lapangan. Penelitian dilakukan di SD Inpres Lapangan, dengan menggunakan metode penelitian quasy eksperimental. Jumlah sampel yang diambil sebanyak 50 siswa dengan teknik pengambilan sampel yaitu total sampling. Penelitian ini menggunakan uji analisis statistik Wilcoxon. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebelum dilakukan penyuluhan cara menyikat gigi indeks plak awal ialah kategori sedang dan setelah dilakukan penyuluhan cara menyikat gigi indeks plak akhir ialah kategori baik. Hasil uji analisis statistik Wilcoxon ini menunjukkan p<0,001. Hasil analisis ini menunjukan ada pengaruh yang bermakna dari penyuluhan cara menyikat gigi terhadap indeks plak gigi pada siswa SD Inpres Lapangan.Kata kunci: penyuluhan kesehatan gigi, cara menyikat gigi, indeks plak
