Donna Kahanjak — 2025-05-13

. Blood glucose is the main source of energy during exercise, especially in endurance sports such as cycling, therefore, in this study, serum cortisol levels will be measured before and after being given treatment in the form of 30 km cycling training. The purpose of this study was to determine changes in serum cortisol levels after a 30 km cycling event in the cycling community in Makassar. The research method was quasi-experimental with a one group pre-test post-test design. Sample selection using the purposive sampling method by meeting the inclusion criteria in the form of active cyclists, cycling for more than one year, men aged 30-60 years, willing to have blood samples taken. Exclusive criteria include having a history of cardiovascular disease and a history of hypertension. A total of 30 respondents were collected at one time for an initial health check and blood sampling (pretest). A week later, a 30 km event was carried out. After the event was completed, the respondents were re-examined for vital signs and blood was taken later (posttest). The collected blood was centrifuged to obtain serum. Then the serum was examined using the ELISA method using a cortisol kit. The results showed a significant decrease in serum cortisol levels of -1.93 µg/dL from 13.33 µg/dL to 11.34 µg/dL (-14.19%) after traveling 30 km. In conclusion, there is a difference between pretest and posttest cortisol levels, so it is concluded that cycling 30 km can reduce cortisol levels in cyclists

Enhancing Lipid-Lowering Effects with DMN-Fucoidan: A New Approach to Hyperlipidemia Treatment

Francisca Diana Alexandra — 2025-05-22

Background: Hyperlipidemia is a common condition associated with increased cardiovascular risk, and novel therapies are needed to effectively manage lipid levels. This study investigates the efficacy of fucoidan-loaded dissolving microneedles (DMNs) as a transdermal therapy for hyperlipidemia in Wistar rats induced by a high-fat diet.

Methods: Wistar rats were divided into four groups and treated for 14 days with normal, DMN-fucoidan, placebo microneedles, and simvastatin. Lipid profiles, including total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL), were measured to evaluate treatment effects.

Results: The DMN-fucoidan group showed a significant reduction in total cholesterol (p = 0.005) and LDL (p = 0.012) levels compared to the control and placebo groups. However, no significant changes were observed in triglyceride (p = 0.883) and HDL (p = 0.217) levels. These results suggest that DMN-fucoidan is effective in lowering total cholesterol and LDL levels, but further optimization is needed to address its effects on other lipid parameters.

Conclusion: DMN-fucoidan demonstrates potential as an alternative lipid-lowering therapy, offering advantages in bioavailability and fewer side effects than conventional oral treatments. Further studies are needed to optimize treatment protocols, investigate combination therapies, and assess the long-term efficacy of DMN-based drug delivery systems for hyperlipidemia management.

Keywords: Fucoidan, microneedles, hyperlipidemia, lipid profiles, transdermal therapy.

Thyrister Nina Asarya Sembiring — 2025-05-14

Pneumonia is the most significant cause of morbiditas and mortalitas in balita worldwide and in Indonesia 2023 the coverage of pneumonia in toddlers was 36.95% while in Central Kalimantan (15.6%) with the coverage of pneumonia cases found and treated in 2022 was 12.7%. The purpose of this study was to determine the risk factors for pneumonia in toddlers in Kalimantan. This study uses a literature review approach by utilizing several regional study references in Kalimantan with publication years 2020-2025. The results of the study show that there are several intrinsic factors (age under two years, incomplete immunization status, malnutrition, and lack of exclusive breastfeeding) and extrinsic factors (exposure to passive smoking, use of mosquito repellent with fuel in the home, poor ventilation, air pollution due to forest fires, and socioeconomic status) which profoundly contribute to the incidence of pneumonia. Prevention of pneumonia in toddlers in Kalimantan requires multidimensional efforts through increasing immunization coverage, breast milk feeding promotion, enhancing living conditions, and air pollution control.

Exploring Portulaca oleracea: Potential Therapeutic Role in Acute Mountain Sickness

Muhammad Rifqi Musyaffa — 2025-05-18

Mountain hiking has become a popular global activity, but it poses risks such as Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), characterized by symptoms like headaches, nausea, and fatigue. Hypoxia-induced oxidative stress and inflammation are key contributors to AMS. While conventional treatments like acetazolamide are widely used, natural remedies such as Portulaca oleracea (purslane or krokot) offer promising alternatives due to their accessibility and therapeutic potential. This study investigates the pharmacological properties of Portulaca oleracea and its potential role in preventing or mitigating AMS symptoms. A narrative review was conducted using PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. Keywords such as "Portulaca oleracea," "bioactive compounds," and "Acute Mountain Sickness" were applied. Studies focusing on antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antihypoxic, and anti-angiogenic effects relevant to AMS were included. P. oleracea contains bioactive compounds like flavonoids, alkaloids, and organic acids, demonstrating antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antihypoxic properties. Ethanol extracts (EEPO) showed neuroprotective effects, modulating erythropoietin expression and maintaining ATP levels under hypoxic conditions. While no human trials directly link P. oleracea to AMS, its pharmacological effects align with AMS pathophysiology, particularly in reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. P. oleracea is a promising natural remedy for AMS, with significant implications for medical and wellness tourism. Future research, including in silico studies (e.g., molecular docking, network pharmacology) and clinical trials, is essential to fully understand its therapeutic potential. These findings highlight its value as an accessible, sustainable solution in altitude medicine and health tourism

Fidela Amadea Dyna Setyaji — 2025-07-17

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a well-established risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD), making it a major public health problem worldwide. DM patients are two to four times more likely to develop CHD. Previous studies have shown that uncontrolled blood sugar levels may increase the risk of CHD. Therefore, adherence to medication is essential for patients with chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes (T2DM). The aim of this study was to assess the association between medication adherence and complications of coronary heart disease. This was a retrospective case-control study using a dataset provided by Dr. Doris Silvanus Hospital in Palangka Raya. The sample was divided into two groups; one had CHD as a complication, while the other had no CHD complication. Sixty-three subjects were eligible for this study (21 with CHD complications and 42 with non-CHD complications). Statistical analysis showed that adherence to antidiabetic drugs had a significant (P-value < 0.001) and moderate (r = 0.538) correlation with CHD complications. In this study, adherence to diabetes medications was found to be significantly correlated with complications of coronary heart disease.

. Occupational lung diseases are disorders or damage to the lungs caused by exposure to harmful dusts, vapors or gases in the work environment. These diseases include conditions such as pneumoconiosis, silicosis, asbestosis, bicinosis and occupational asthma that have a serious impact on workers' health. In developing countries, including Indonesia, the incidence of occupational lung diseases is still high and often difficult to diagnose because the symptoms are similar to other lung diseases. Objective to determine the risk factors, mechanism of onset of occupational lung diseases, and preventive measures that can be taken. Literature review of relevant studies and epidemiologic data. It was shown that exposure to mineral dust, chemicals and microorganisms in the workplace are the main factors causing occupational lung disease, with longer working periods increasing the risk of impaired lung function. Prevention through exposure control and periodic medical check-ups is essential to reduce the burden of these diseases. Increased awareness and implementation of occupational safety protocols can reduce the prevalence of occupational lung disease among workers
