Chayote leaves (Sechium edule (Jacq.) Swartz) contain secondary metabolites like flavonoids, tannins, and saponins acting as antidiabetic agents through beta-cell protection. This study aimed to determine the antidiabetic activity of the ethanolic extract of chayote leaves (EECL) and evaluate its effect on pancreatic histopathology in hyperglycemic male Wistar rats. Hyperglycemia was successful…
Background: Postoperative pain following repeat cesarean section is often more severe due to the existence of scar tissue and adhesions from previous cesarean section. One method to alleviate pain is the administration of intraperitoneal lidocaine. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of intraperitoneal lidocaine 3.5 mg/kgBW in reducing pain after a repeat cesarean section ≥ 2 times. …
Introduction: Laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation may provoke sympathetic activation, resulting in increased blood pressure and heart rate, particularly in hypertensive patients. Opioids such as fentanyl and sufentanil are commonly used to attenuate this hemodynamic response. However, comparative evidence regarding their effects in hypertensive patients remains limited. Methods: This doubl…
Background : Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood sugar levels caused by insulin resistance or impaired insulin secretion. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus continues to increase, especially in rural areas due to low public awareness and limited access to non-communicable disease control. Methods : This study used a case-control design …
Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease that may lead to long-term complications, including cognitive impairment, particularly among the pre-elderly population. Glycemic control, measured by HbA1c, is a key component of DM management and is influenced, among other factors, by medication adherence. Good glycemic control may contribute to reducing the risk of cognitive impairment.…
Type II Diabetes Mellitus is a non-communicable disease closely associated with dietary patterns and physical activity. This study aims to determine the relationship between dietary patterns and physical activity with random blood glucose levels among Type II Diabetes Mellitus patients at Balai Agung Health Center, Sekayu. The study employed a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design. …
Crystal Violet Dye (CVD) is a toxic and persistent cationic dye that poses environmental risks. This study developed a Chitosan-PVA/Ag-CeO₂ composite via an environmentally friendly green synthesis using noni leaf extract (Morinda citrifolia L.). The composite was synthesized by coprecipitation, with chitosan and PVA as biopolymer matrices, Ag as a dopant to enhance photocatalytic and antibac…
Water availability throughout the growing season and limited fertile agricultural land remain major constraints in vegetable crop production, including kailan (Brassica oleraceae L. var. alboglabra), which has high nutritional and economic value. Therefore, innovations in irrigation systems and growing media are required to improve water use efficiency and crop yield. This study aimed to evalua…
Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from impaired insulin secretion or insulin resistance, with chronic low-grade inflammation playing a role in its pathogenesis. Diacerein has anti-inflammatory effects and improves insulin sensitivity; however, clinical evidence in Indonesia remains limited. Objective: To evaluate the effect of adding diacere…
