Awareness and practices in preventing maternal iron deficiency among pregnant women living in urban slum areas in Makassar City, Indonesia.

During pregnancy, the body requires more complex nutritional intake. Therefore, problems with fulfilling nutrition during pregnancy occur often. One of the most common nutritional problems in pregnancy is iron deficiency anemia, the most widespread micronutrient problem and the most difficult to overcome worldwide. This study aimed to determine awareness and prevention behavior associated with the incidence of iron deficiency in pregnant women living in urban slum areas. This was a cross-sectional study. The data collection used KoboToolbox, an Android-based tool. Iron status was examined by serum ferritin level assay using ELISA at the Microbiology Laboratory Unit of Hasanuddin University Hospital. The prevalence of pregnant women who experienced iron deficiency was 78%. The logistic regression analysis showed that poor awareness (AOR = 3.03, CI 95% 1.26-7.29, P = 0.013) and practices in taking iron enhancers (AOR = 2.85, CI 95% 1.18-6.92, P = 0.020) became the main factors associated with iron deficiency among pregnant women. Poor awareness and practices regarding consuming iron enhancers increased the risk of iron deficiency among pregnant women living in urban slum areas. Iron deficiency is a major health concern for pregnant women, especially those living in slum settlements, which must be addressed. A more optimal healthcare system for pregnant women may reduce the incidence of iron anemia in pregnancy by improving health promotion and optimizing healthcare services.

Peningkatan Kapasitas Aparatur Desa dalam Pembentukan Peraturan Desa (Perdes) Berbasis Bukti (Evidence-Based Policy) di Kabupaten Maros

Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages gives broad authority to villages to regulate and manage the various needs and interests of the community. Village government officials are required to have the capacity to draft regulations in the village. However, the facts show that the capacity of the village government apparatus is still weak in forming regulations in the village, especially the preparation of evidence-based village regulations. This fact also occurred in Maros Regency, especially in Moncongloe District. This phenomenon underlies the importance of conducting training for village apparatus in drafting regulations in the village. This technical guidance was carried out for 8 hours in the Hall of the Moncongloe District Office and was attended by 30 people and facilitated by a team of lecturers from the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Hasanuddin University. To find out the effectiveness of this training, a pre-test evaluation was carried out at the beginning and a post-test at the end of the training. The results of the evaluation showed that there was an effect of the training on the participants, namely increasing their knowledge of evidence-based technical regulations in villages.

Anxiety is a condition that needs attention. Excessive worry about activities or events that take place almost every day, for 6 months or more is a frequent psychosocial problem, generally in adolescence to adulthood. Anxiety can be caused by various internal and external factors such as family history, history of trauma. Some people do not know how to deal with the anxiety they experience. For this reason, we from Hasanuddin University Nurse Profession Students, are trying to hold counseling regarding how to deal with anxiety with butterfly hug therapy in the work area of the Tamalanrea Jaya Makassar Health Center. This activity aims to increase public knowledge in dealing with anxiety experienced. The method used is a demonstration using leaflets and banners as reading material that can add to the public's insight regarding anxiety and butterfly hug relaxation technique. The results achieved from this counseling activity are that the community understands, understands, and can explain correctly related to psychosocial problems, namely anxiety and how to handle them with the butterfly hug relaxation technique

Evaluation of Voluntary Feed Intake and Digestibility Organic Feed Ingredients for Adult Female Goats

Limited forage for livestock during the dry season has an impact on low livestock productivity, so a source of feed other than grass is needed as an effort to utilize local resources.The purpose of research is voluntary feed intake level and organik matter digestibility adult female goat given by 3 different feed. It was carried out on experimental farm of Hasanuddin University for 3 months. A total of six a head of adult male goats aged around 1.5 years with preliminary weights 11-15 kg were used and place at individual pen of 100 x 50 x 100 cm with 80 cm above ground level. This research was designed using RBSL with 3 treatments and it was used 2 heads of goat replication. The feed treatment covered 3 kinds of leaves, namely mango (R1), jackfruit (R2), and banana (R3). The voluntary feed intake (kg/day) was measured based on difference between given and remained feed weights. The measurement of feed digestibility (%) using Total Collecting Method, covering total of feed comsumption and total of goat faeces (24 hours) separeted with urine. The research result showed that the voluntary feed intake level R1 leaves was heigher than R2 and R3 leaves, whereas the level of crude fiber digestibility and crude fat of R1 higher than R2 and R3, but digestibility of crude protein R3 higher than R1 dan R2.

Perceptions of Students and Teachers Regarding the Impact of Cadaver-Less Online Anatomy Education on Quality of Learning, Skills Development, Professional Identity Formation, and Economics in Medical Students.

Anatomy is one of the most important basic sciences in medical education and is the foundation for doctors to develop clinical skills. In the last few years, anatomy teaching has been transformed from hands-on practice into online modalities. In this study, we aimed to determine the perceptions of students and teachers about learning anatomy without using cadavers (cadaver-less) from a knowledge, technological, and humanistic perspective. The research was carried out in the Faculty of Medicine at Hasanuddin University, located in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, over a period from June to August 2021. A focus group discussion was extended to all medical students in their first year of study following their completion of online anatomy lessons. Furthermore, educators responsible for instructing anatomy in the initial year were sent an invitation to participate in a one-on-one interview with the principal investigator. In general, the results of the study complied with what has been known from the literature about the quality of online learning and its advantages and disadvantages. However, our discussions with students and interviews with teachers revealed that anatomy education without the use of cadavers is perceived as undesirable as it negatively impacts the identity formation of the future physician. It also takes away the opportunity for students to develop empathy for humanity.

Detection of Aspergillus Sp Fungus in Tuberculosis Patients with A Treatment Length of 2 Months using the Polymerace Chain Reaction (Pcr) Method

This study aims to detect the presence or absence of the Aspergillus sp fungus in Tuberculosis Patients within a 2 month treatment period. This research was carried out in the Microbiology Laboratory at Hasanuddin University Teaching Hospital. Laboratory methods. Samples were obtained from the Tabaringan and Pattingaloang Community Health Centers in Makassar City. Then testing was carried out using culture techniques and polymerace chain reaction techniques. The research results showed that by using the culture method from 30 samples, 9 samples obtained growing media, for 2 samples it was suspected that Aspergillus sp fungus was growing. Then for the polymerace chain reaction (PCR) method, from 30 samples the presence of Aspergillus sp fungus was detected, 4 samples using ASAP primers, then carried out again using ASPU primers (ASPU+Af3r, ASPU+Ni1r, ASPU+Fl2r) which resulted in 1 Aspergillus niger sample. From the results of this research, it can be concluded that the factor that causes the growth of fungus is the long-term administration of anti-tuberculosis drugs which only suppress bacteria from pulmonary tuberculosis.

Survival rate of tiger shrimp (<i>Penaeus monodon</i>) pre and post infected with White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) fed with the addition of miana leaf extract (<i>Coleus scutellarioides</i>)

The plant species of miana (Coleus scutellariodes) has been historically recognised for its antiviral properties. However, there is currently no scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of miana leaf extract in preventing White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) in tiger prawns (Penaeus monodon) when administered via feed. This study aimed to determine the impact of including miana leaf extract in the diet on the survival percentage of tiger prawns that have been infected with the WSSV. The study was carried out between June and August 2023 in the Laboratory of Parasite and Fish Disease and the Hatchery Laboratory of Hasanuddin University. This study employed a completely randomized experimental design consisting of five distinct treatments, each with three replicates. The experimental treatments included the control group (treatment A), where food was provided without the inclusion of miana leaf extract. Furthermore, there were four treatment groups (treatments B, C, D and E) where feed was supplemented with miana leaf extract at concentrations of 125, 250, 500, and 750 µg mg-1 feed, respectively. Rearing was performed in two phases: preinfection (25 days) and post- infection (7 days). The statistical results of the statistical on pre-WSSV infection indicated that the addition of miana leaf extract to the food resulted in survival that was not significantly different (p>0.05). The results were different post-infection, significantly (p<0.05) the shrimp fed with the addition of miana leaf extract were higher than those without the extract. Furthermore, there was a significant difference in shrimp survival between pre- and post-WSSV infection. WSSV mitigation through immunostimulants using miana leaf extract, which is inexpensive and environmentally friendly, has the potential to minimize the impact of WSSV infection.

Correlation between Serum Levels of Vaspin, BMI, and Waist Circumference on Obese and Non-Obese Subjects

Obesity is the accumulation of excessive fat resulting from an imbalance in energy intake compared to energy used for a long period. Vaspin is secreted in adipose tissue and may exhibit compensatory responses related to obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study aimed to determine vaspin levels in obese and non-obese subjects. An observational research design with a cross-sectional approach was used in this study. A total of 80 research subjects were included in this study. The research was conducted at the Clinical Pathology Laboratory at the Department of Clinical Pathology, Hasanuddin University Hospital in January 2022. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to determine the normality of the data. Chi-Square, unpaired T-test, Mann-Whitney test, and Spearman test were used as statistical tests. This study showed a significant difference in anthropometric parameters between the obese and non-obese groups (p < 0.001). There was a significant difference in the mean levels of vaspin between the obese and non-obese groups (707.68±774.47 ng/mL vs. 510.60±460.08 ng/mL, p=0.004). There was a positive correlation between vaspin levels and waist circumference (r = 0.245, p=0.004) and between vaspin levels and BMI (r = 0.322, p=0.028). The serum levels of vaspin tended to be higher in obese subjects compared to non-obese subjects. The positive correlation between vaspin levels and BMI and waist circumference indicated that a higher BMI and/or waist circumference led to a higher vaspin level.

Management of panleukopenia in domestic cats at Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Hasanuddin University

Feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) is a viral disease with the main causative agent being a virus in the Parvoviridae family, which is highly contagious and can attack young cats that are clinically characterized by leukopenia, vomiting, depression, dehydration, and diarrhea. Clinical examination revealed dehydration, yellow vomiting, and bloody diarrhea. A supportive examination in the form of a rapid test marked by the presence of lines in panels C and T shows positive results for infection with the feline panleukopenia virus. Treatment of FPV cases was carried out with supportive therapy in the form of Ringer lactate fluid, multivitamins combined with imboost, antibiotics in the form of ceftriaxone, and anti-inflammatory drugs in the form of tolfedine for 7 days. The cat's condition experienced significant improvement and responded well to the treatments given. The patient was discharged on the seventh day with a normal body condition.

Increased 8-OHdG in umbilical cord blood represents the risk of preeclampsia with Intra-Uterine Growth Restriction (IUGR)

Link of Video Abstract: https://youtu.be/VsAy9X8XIAk Background: Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-related disease involving multi-organs, characterized by increased blood pressure in the second trimester of pregnancy. Preeclampsia can have short-term and long-term consequences for the mother and the fetus, including intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR). One of the markers of DNA damage due to oxidative stress due to endothelial dysfunction in preeclampsia is the increase in 8-OHdG levels in cord blood. This study aims to see an increase in 8-OHdG levels in preeclampsia. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study with a total of 41 patients with preeclampsia and 41 patients with healthy pregnant women at Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital and its network. Samples were taken using the purposive sampling method according to the inclusion criteria. This 8-OHdG level was examined using the ELISA kit at the HUMRC laboratory of Hasanuddin University Hospital. The data is then processed statistically using SPSS. Results: This study found 6 patients with PE + IUGR, 31 with PE, and 41 without PE. The examination results of 8-OHdG levels found significant differences between the 3 groups PE + IUGR, PE, and normal pregnancies, which showed a significant relationship between elevated 8-OHdG levels and the incidence of PE accompanied by IUGR (p = 0.006) Conclusion: Elevated 8-OHdG levels are found in preeclampsia, especially in preeclampsia accompanied by IUGR.

The Association of "First 1000 Days of Life" Training Program on Communication Skill and Empathy of Undergraduate Medical Students: A Cross-Sectional Study.

1000 First Days of Life (1000FDL) training program is carried out for 2 years from the 3rd to 6th semester; in this program, students are asked to accompany pregnant women until their children are 2 years old. This study aimed to analyse undergraduate medical students' communication skills and empathy levels and determine the association between communication skills and empathy after the training program. This is a cross-sectional study in which 176 undergraduate medical students in Hasanuddin University participated; they were enrolled in 1000FDL training program and selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using Modified Arabic Version of the ABIM's Patient Assessment (MAV-ABIM) and Jefferson Scale of Empathy - Student Version (JSE-S) questionnaires to assess their level of communication skills and empathy. In this study, demographic data were obtained using a semi-open-ended questionnaire. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Chi-Square, and Spearman tests. Communication skill was very good (83.5%), good (15.9%), and inadequate (0.6%), while the empathy level was high (9.1%), medium (25%), and low (65.9%). There was no significant difference between the level of communication skills (p-value 0.168) and empathy (p=0.145) based on gender, but there was a significant difference between <12 or >12 times interaction with the empathy level (p<0.001). The association between the level of communication showed that the level of empathy was significant (p<0.001, r=0.399). Undergraduate medical students had very good communication skills but low empathy levels. There was a positive association between communication skills and empathy level after the training program. The students' empathy level can be improved by increasing the frequency of interaction with patients in experiential learning through training programs.

Empowering women for conflict resolution: A case study on Laiya Island, Pangkep Regency, Indonesia

This study aimed to enhance public awareness regarding conflict identification and encourage the adoption of suitable resolution strategies. The community service initiative employed a training approach, engaging a group of 52 women on Laiya Island, Pangkep Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Furthermore, this activity was a collaboration between CPCD (Center for Peace, Conflict, and Democracy) Hasanuddin University and the Pangkep District Fisheries Service. The results showed that an effective measure for conflict prevention entailed the empowerment of women. Therefore, there had been a notable improvement in community understanding of appropriate conflict resolution techniques. This activity introduced a novel approach where the empowerment of women through the utilization of marine products and the establishment of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) as well as home industries played a vital role in conflict resolution strategies. In conclusion, the conflicts experienced on Laiya Island were minimal, and the community successfully resolved disputes through meaningful discussions.
