Prevalence of malnutrition in Indonesia is still high although it has some potential source of nutrients. Seluang fish (Rasbora spp.) is a river fish consumed by the people of South Kalimantan, Indonesia. This study analyzed the improvement of nutritional status in the malnourished rats after treatment with Seluang Fish. The study used malnourished white rats (Rattus norvegicus) using a low protein and fat diet for 8 weeks. The rats were divided into three groups; malnourished group (M) without other dietary treatment, standard diet (P1) and seluang diet (P2) for a period of four weeks. The malnourished group was sacrificed first, and after four weeks treatment, other groups were sacrificed; blood and bones were taken for weight, protein levels, hemoglobin levels, bone length, bone calcium levels and IGF-1 levels. The results showed that the average of body weight for all the studied groups ranged between 190 to 220g. Seluang diet had the highest serum protein levels (4.388 mg/dL), hemoglobin (19.7 mg/dL) and IGF levels (388.7 ng/mL). Standard diet had the longest bone length (3.547 cm) and the highest Calcium levels of 1.68 mg/g. Based on these results, it was concluded that Seluang fish may have the potential to improve the nutritional status of malnourished rats.

levels were not significantly different (p ¼ 0.483). Group P1 and P2 were not different significantly in the serum and brain serotonin, and brain SOD levels. The brain H 2 O 2 (p < 0.001) and MDA levels (p < 0.001) were different significantly. We concluded that seluang fish diet was able to repair oxidative stress in the brains of rats due to endosulfan induction during pregnancy.

Preeclampsia is a complication in pregnancy that can cause serious illness, disability, and can cause death on maternal, fetal and neonates. In 2018, preeclampsia was the second of the tenth diseases in the maternity room of Dr. Moch Ansari Saleh Hospital Banjarmasin. One of the maternal deaths in South Kalimantan Province is caused by preeclampsia. The most cause of maternal deaths in South Kalimantan is hypertension, namely as many as 26 people (32.91%) while in 2017, maternal deaths caused by hypertension were 19 people (25.33%). This research aims to analyze actors that influence the incidence of preeclampsia in Dr Moch Ansari Saleh Hospital Banjarmasin. The study begins by determining a case (mothers who have preeclampsia) and control (mothers who did not have preeclampsia). The number of samples in the study was 72 samples with accidental sampling technique. The results showed that there was an influence between parity (p = 0.009) and history of hypertension (p = 0.003) of maternity mothers on the incidence of preeclampsia. There was no effect between age (p = 0.562) and maternal work status on the incidence of preeclampsia. The results of multiple logistic regression analysis showed a history of hypertension (p = 0.003) and Exp. B (5.616) as the most dominant factors influencing the incidence of preeclampsia. There is an influence between parity and hypertension history on the incidence of preeclampsia. There is no influence between age and employment status on the incidence of preeclampsia. The most dominant factor influencing the incidence of preeclampsia is a history of hypertension.
