The physiological parameters included in the Modified Early Obstetric Warning Score (MEOWS) table have been selectively selected so that they cover all the standard observations in the NEWS table with the addition of several parameters that are specifically. The population in this study were all pregnant women who were in RSIA Siti Khadijah I Makassar and RSUP Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Makassar. The results showed that there was no significant difference between the shock index and the incidence of shock (p=0.418). The difference in frequency between the shock index and the incidence of shock in the ICU was 1 patient who was pregnant. Based on shock index with high and low categories did not differ significantly (p=0.418). The data also shows that the frequency of pregnant women who are in shock is higher, namely 44 people (57.9%) compared to those who are not in shock, namely 32 people (42.1%). There was no significant difference between the shock index and the incidence of shock (p=0.112). The difference in frequency between the shock index and the incidence of shock in the ICU was 5 patients with pregnant women. Shock frequency based on the MEOWS index was not significantly different (p=0.112).

Background: Padina sp. is an algae that has potential as a functional food. This study aimed to explore the chemical and photochemical constituent in the methanolic exract of Padina sp. Methods: Brown algae of Padina sp. from Puntondo coast, Takalar, Indonesia was prepared. The algae characterization was carried out based on the standard procedure of Association of Official Agricultural Chemists (AOAC). Toxicity of Padina sp. was. determined with Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT). Results: Chemical contents were 13.46% water, 38.02% ash, 12.33% protein, 1.60% fat, 20.02% fiber, and 48.06% carbohydrate. The FTIR spectrum displayed the presence of hydroxyl, carboxylic acids, aldehydes, aliphatic hydrocarbons, fatty acids, and unsaturated hydrocarbons. Padina sp. extract consisted of phytol compound which had 70-96% similarity with steroids, fatty acids, carboxylic acids, terpenoid, and proteins. The result of toxicity was 6344.54 ppm indicating not toxic. Conclusion: Padina sp. can be used as a raw material source for functional food and pharmaceutical industry.

Total phenol levels and antioxidant activity in whole limes from Palopo, Luwu Regency, as well as the relationship between total phenol content and antioxidant activity, were determined. Maceration of dried whole lime fruit yielded the methanol extract (Citrus aurentifolia). Phytochemical screening was used to determine the presence of alkaloids, phenolic compounds, and flavonoids in the extract’s secondary metabolites. The total phenol extract was determined using the Folin-Ciocalteu method, yielding a value of 8.37 mgGAE/g. Antioxidant activity was determined using the DPPH method, and the IC50 value was 1793.06 g/mL. Total phenol content of whole fruit extract lime and IC50 show a linear relationship y = -168,11x + 3211 with a determination R2 = of 0.9780.

Background: Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) is one indicator to see the health status of women AKI is also one of the targets set in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), namely improving maternal health where the target to be achieved until 2015 is reducing to ¾ the risk of maternal mortality. Objective: Finding out whether the psychosocial determinants and obstetric medico effect on decision making refers to complications in the obstetric field. Method: The type of research used was observational research with cross sectional study design. The population of the study were all maternity patients and referred to the 70-school network education hospital with the sample of 70 respondents.
