Pada saat ini banyak remaja yang mengalami kondisi gizi kurang (underweight). Hal ini disebabkan oleh karena asupan makanan dengan gizi seimbang masih belum optimal terpenuhi. Tujuan dari kegiatan ini adalah untuk meningkatkan perilaku remaja dalam hal mencegah dan mengatasi underweight dengan fokus pada pola asupan makanan dan latihan fisik. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini dilakukan dengan metode pengukuran status gizi dan penyuluhan yang diberikan melalui ceramah tanya jawab dengan menggunakan media presentasi power point yang dikombinasi dengan poster yang materinya berkaitan dengan topik/materi, diskusi, demonstrasi, dan simulasi. Jumlah sasaran pada kegiatan ini adalah sebanyak 33 remaja. Instrumen pada kegiatan ini adalah timbangan berat badan dan microtoice untuk mendapatkan indeks masa tubuh (IMT) dan kuesioner. Hasil dari kegiatan ini adalah telah diketahuinya bahwa terdapat 54,5% dari peserta mengalami underweight. Setelah diberikan edukasi terjadi peningkatan pengetahuan dan kesadaran remaja tentang kondisi underweight.
Introduction: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is caused by SARS-CoV-2 which spreads rapidly throughout the world and causes clinical manifestations in various organs, especially in the lungs. Clinical symptoms arise from asymptomatic, mild, moderate, severe, and critical symptoms in patients with or without comorbid disease. Chest X-ray examination is one of the modalities in the management of COVID-19 which is cheap and easy to do.Methods: This study was performed by analyzing medical record data of confirmed COVID-19 patients from March to December 2020. This study aimed to examine the relationship between chest X-ray and the degree of disease severity.Results: The results showed that from the examined 542 total samples, the highest number was found in the age group of 40-49 years old (23.6%), women (53%), mild degree of COVID-19 (67.9%), normal chest X-ray (54.6%), predominance on the lower zone of the lung, peripheral and bilateral on abnormal chest X-ray, no comorbid (56.3%), hypertensive in comorbid disease (26.6%). There was a significant relationship between chest X-ray and comorbidity towards COVID-19 severity (p = 0.000).Conclusion:Chest X-ray can determine disease severity, therefore it can be used as the first modality for triage and treatment evaluation in COVID-19 patients.
Paraquat destroys organs including lung. Purpose of this study was to determine the effect of paraquat on histopathologyof lung, exspecially fibrosis in mice (Mus musculus). This study was an experimental study with post-test only withcontrol design and using 15 mice as sample. Samples were divided into 5 groups consist of one control group and fourdifferent doses of paraquat treatment group (25 mg / kg / day, 50 mg / kg / day, 75 mg / kg / day and 100 mg / kg / day for7 days with spraying). Analysis of the data have used One-Way ANOVA then post-hoc test with tukey to assesseddifferences of each groups. The results showed increasing of lung fibrosis with increasing doses and have significantcorrelations (p = 0.000). In conclusion, there are significant changes in lung histopathology of mice (Mus musculus)after paraquat exposure for 7 days.
Tuberculosis (TB) is still a threat to the community in Teluk Paman Village, Kampar Kiri District, Kampar Regency. In addition, it is not yet optimal for community empowerment by the government and health workers. This is indicated by the absence of a "Pos TB Desa" and TB cadres who can assist community-based TB management in the village. The strategy of empowering the community can be done in various ways, including advocacy, community development and community movements. The purpose of this community service was to examine the implementation of community empowerment in TB prevention and control and to see the effectiveness of advocacy and training in realizing empowered cadres. The empowerment method was advocacy, forming a "Pos TB Desa" and village TB control network, training with question and answer lecture methods combined with simulations and using various educational media. This activity has provided many benefits. The community has been able to utilize the TB Village Post that is already available. This activity helps the Health Office and local government in preventing and controlling TB cases. This activity also increases the knowledge and skills of village TB Post cadres to help prevent and control TB.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of mortality for all cancer globally and in Indonesia. In Indonesia, lung cancer contributes to 12.6% of death of all cancer, making it the number one cause of cancer death, and 8.6% of all cancer incidence in 2018, behind breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer. The total cases per year are expected to almost double from 30,023 in 2018 to 54,983 cases in 2040. Smoking is among the risk factors for lung cancer, after occupational/environmental risk factors, history of lung fibrosis, and family history of cancer. There was a tendency of younger smokers in Indonesia and increased lung cancer incidence and prevalence in the younger population. The median age of lung cancer in Indonesia was younger than in any country, probably due to the younger age of smoking, early onset of carcinogens, asbestos use, and environmental. Lung cancer screening is a voluntary measure to detect lung cancer in the earliest stage, to find cancer at curable disease before symptoms appear in high-risk individuals. Lung cancer early detection is strategies to find cancer earlier after symptoms appear (cough, hemoptysis, dyspnea, chest pain). Low-dose computerized tomography of the thorax (LDCT) screening has been known to reduce lung cancer mortality compared to a chest x-ray (CXR). This Indonesian Society of Respirology consensus statement was aimed to give recommendations on lung cancer screening and early diagnosis in Indonesia.
