PERBEDAAN HASIL KADAR HEMOGLOBIN MENGGUNAKAN HEMATOLOGY ANALYZER DAN POCT

2023-10-11T09:55:38+08:00

Hemoglobin is a protein molecule in red blood cells that carries O2 throughout the body. Hemoglobin contains iron which makes blood red. The hemoglobin level is a measure of the respiratory pigment present in the erythrocytes, which is used to determine anemia. This study was to see if there were differences in the results of hemoglobin levels using a hematology analyzer and POCT. This study used a hematology analyzer and POCT to determine the accuracy of the results obtained on the examination of hemoglobin levels. The aim of this study was to determine differences in the results of hemoglobin levels using a hematology analyzer and POCT. This type of research is analytic observational with a cross sectional approach. This study used venous blood samples using the hematology analyzer method and capillary blood samples using the POCT method as many as 54 samples. Collecting data using purposive sampling technique. The research was conducted in May 2023. The analytical test used the Independent T Test. Based on the research results, the p-value = 0.212 so that H0 is accepted, which means that there is no difference in the results of hemoglobin levels using a hematology analyzer and POCT. Based on the independent t test, the results obtained were a p-value of 0.212, which means that there was no difference in the results of hemoglobin levels using a hematology analyzer and POCT.

THE SENSITIVITY AND SPECIFICITY OF FLOTATION AND SEDIMENTATION METHODS FOR SOIL-TRANSMITTED HELMINTHS (STH) IN THE FECES OF VEGETABLE FARMERS IN NGAGLIK DISTRICT, YOGYAKARTA

2024-03-16T10:44:05+08:00

Worm infection is a public health problem due to poor sanitation and behavior, and it can affect various age groups and professions, including vegetable farmers. Ngaglik Subdistrict is an area with water absorption, making it susceptible to becoming a center for the development of Soil-Transmitted Helminths (STH). STH detection can be done through laboratory examinations using flotation and sedimentation methods. The research aimed to determine the differences in sensitivity and specificity between the flotation and sedimentation methods for STH detection in vegetable farmers in Ngaglik District, Yogyakarta. The research method used was analytical observational with a cross-sectional approach, utilizing interview data and laboratory examinations. Random sampling was used, resulting in 18 samples. The research findings of 18 fecal samples using two testing methods showed that 8 samples were positive for STH infection. Positive samples for the flotation and sedimentation methods were 4 (22.2%) and 5 samples (27.8%), respectively. The sensitivity of the flotation method was higher than that of sedimentation, namely 25% and 20%. The specificity of the flotation and sedimentation methods was 71.4% and 77%, respectively. The McNemar test results showed no significant difference in the sensitivity and specificity between the flotation and sedimentation methods (0.109 > 0.05%), indicating that both methods can be used for STH detection in a laboratory setting.

Analysis of Lead Metal Contents (Pb) in Various Cosmetic Dosage Forms Using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) Method

2024-03-15T14:24:19+08:00

Cosmetics are the preparations whose products are most widely used by people in all circles, from babies to adults. However, it is not uncommon to find dangerous substances contained in cosmetics, one of which is lead contamination, so it is necessary to test the dangerous substances in them. This review aims to provide information regarding the presence and levels of the heavy metal lead in various cosmetic samples using the atomic absorption spectrophotometry method and to analyze the dangers it causes. The method used is a literature review of articles with the keywords "cosmetics", "heavy metals", "lead pollution", "health risks" and "atomic absorption spectrophotometer" between 2019-2023. The results of the review that has been carried out are that the majority of cosmetics contain the heavy metal lead (Pb), either within the required limits or exceeding the required limits. The dangers posed by lead contamination in cosmetics used over a long period of time can be similar to acute or chronic toxic diseases, and can result in pathological changes in body organs such as the cardiovascular system, kidneys, bones, liver, potentially causing cancer and genetic changes. and the most fatal form of lead poisoning can cause death

Correlation Between Mother’s Nutritional Expertise and Toddler’s Stunting Incidence in Wainyapu Village

2024-03-15T14:13:08+08:00

Stunting is one of the world's nutritional challenges, particularly in impoverished and emerging countries. Stunting is an issue since it is connected with a higher risk of morbidity and mortality, as well as inadequate brain development, which leads to delayed motor development and stunted cerebral growth. The mother's health and nutritional status before and throughout pregnancy, the mother's body posture, the close spacing of pregnancies, the mother's adolescence, and poor dietary intake during pregnancy all have an impact on fetal growth and stunting risk. Stunting is influenced by the mother's nutritional expertise. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between mothers’ nutritional expertise and the toddlers’ stunting incident in Wainyapu Village. This quantitative study employed an analytical survey design and a cross-sectional approach method. The population in this study were mothers who had toddlers 12-59 months and lived in Wainyapu Village. This study employed total sampling technique, with a questionnaire on mothers’ nutritional expertise as the research instrument. The Spearman correlation test was employed during data analysis. The findings yielded that the level of mothers’ nutritional expertise was mostly in the poor category (76.9%), with the incidence of stunting in toddlers as high as (75%), and there was a significant correlation between mothers’ nutritional expertise and the toddlers’ stunting incident as shown by Spearman correlation results were 0.945 with Sig p-value <0.01. It is expected that this study can provide mothers some information to better understand the importance of toddlers’ nutritional expertise in order to avoid stunting
