OVERVIEW OF GIVING BOILED SOURSOP LEAF WATER TO REDUCE GOUT ARTHRITIS LEVELS IN ELDERLY PATIENTS IN KARANGJAMBU VILLAGE, KARANGJAMBU DISTRICT, PURBALINGGA REGENCY

Saifuloh, Sofyan, Fida Dyah Puspasari, Priyatin Sulistyowati, Eko Julianto
Abstract: Background: Gout arthritis is a degenerative disease commonly experienced by the elderly due to elevated uric acid levels in the blood. One safe non-pharmacological treatment alternative is the use of herbal remedies such… h as soursop leaves (Annona muricata L), which contain active compounds like flavonoids and alkaloids that may reduce uric acid levels. Objective: To describe the effect of boiled soursop leaf water on reducing uric acid levels in elderly patients with gout arthritis in Karangjambu Village, Karangjambu Subdistrict, Purbalingga Regency. Method: This study employed a case study method. Subjects were given an intervention of 200 ml of boiled soursop leaf water daily (100 ml in the morning and 100 ml in the evening) for seven consecutive days. Uric acid levels were measured before and after the intervention. Results: After seven days of soursop leaf water administration, uric acid levels decreased from an average of 8.7–9.0 mg/dl to 5.5–5.8 mg/dl. This suggests that the active compounds in soursop leaves are effective in inhibiting xanthine oxidase and promoting uric acid excretion through urine. Conclusion: Boiled soursop leaf water is effective in lowering uric acid levels in elderly patients with gout arthritis and can serve as a safe and practical complementary non-pharmacological therapy within the community.

EFFECT OF DELAY TIME IN URINE EXAMINATION ON ALCOHOL CONCENTRATION

Dabi, Aberina, Prihatiningsih, Diah, Sudarma, Nyoman
Abstract: Urine alcohol testing plays a vital role in detecting alcohol consumption for clinical and forensic purposes, yet its results may be influenced by pre-analytical factors such as the delay between sample collection and laboratory… boratory analysis. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of delay time before urine examination on alcohol concentration. An experimental One-Shot Case Study design was conducted involving 44 participants in Denpasar who had consumed alcohol. Alcohol concentration was measured immediately, after a 2-hour delay, and after a 4-hour delay using the Alcohol Urine Rapid Test Dipstick Allchek, and the data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test. The findings showed that average urine alcohol levels increased numerically after a 2- and 4-hour delay compared to immediate testing; however, this change was not statistically significant (p=0.131). These results confirm that delaying urine alcohol examination up to 4 hours does not significantly alter detectable alcohol concentrations, although prompt testing is still recommended to ensure result accuracy and minimize the risk of false positives. This study provides important insights for the development of standard operating procedures regarding urine alcohol analysis in laboratory practice.

Gusti Ayu Kristalia Mustika Dewi, Prasetya, Didik, Diah Prihatiningsih
Abstract: Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is an endocrine disorder that can cause developmental delays if not detected and treated early. Congenital Hypothyroidism Screening (CHS) aims to detect abnormal levels of Thyroid Stimulating&#8230; ng Hormone (TSH) in newborns before clinical symptoms appear. The timing of blood sample collection is a critical factor because TSH levels physiologically surge within the first 24 hours of life. This study aims to determine the accuracy of TSH sampling time in CH screening at Prima Medika General Hospital, Denpasar. A descriptive analytical method was used with a total sampling technique involving 105 neonates who underwent CHS from October to December 2024. Secondary data were obtained from laboratory request forms and the Laboratory Information System (LIS). Results showed that 92.4% of samples were collected on the second day of life, which aligns with the ideal window of 48–72 hours, and only 1.9% of neonates had elevated TSH levels. The study concludes that most sample collections met the recommended timing, contributing to valid results and effective CHS implementation. Timely sampling plays a vital role in early CH detection and reflects the overall quality of neonatal laboratory services.

Abstract: Clean and healthy community that must be practiced continuously so that it becomes a habitual pattern. Living a clean and healthy lifestyle must be done wherever we are. Moreover, nowadays, children living behavior (PHBS)&#8230; ) is an action or activity carried out by a person or are lazy about maintaining cleanliness, for example washing their hands before eating, brushing their teeth before sleeping and so on. Children have more potential to imitate adult behavior, rather than carrying out commands (voices) or instructions from adults. Adults must practice clean and healthy living behavior continuously (consistent) and correctly, both at home and outside the home. That way, children will have a pattern of clean and healthy living behavior that will be practiced throughout their lives. The problem with students at SDN 106168 is that there are still students who snack randomly, throw rubbish out of place, during breaks students play under the hot sun so they sweat and smell like sweat, and they don't wash their hands after playing or doing activities outside the classroom. Thus, we as proponents want to provide socialization activities on the benefits and disadvantages of clean and healthy living behavior efforts. It is hoped that this activity can provide benefits for students in increasing their enthusiasm for learning.
