Insufficient financing for maternity mothers, as the highest proportion of national delivery methods, can certainly be a direct or indirect obstacle to the maternal mortality rate, which is still very high in Indonesia. This research aims to analyze the influence of hospitalization period, gestational age, and delivery method in conservative preterm therapy on BPJS claim achievement at Waluyo Jati Hospital, Probolinggo Regency.

Their vascular densities can evaluate the vascularity of ectopic endometriosis tissues. Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen (PCNA) is one of the markers of cell proliferation that affects the growth of endometriotic lesions. Genistein is an isoflavone component that highly potential effect as an anti-angiogenic and inhibiting proliferation through the binding capacity to estrogen receptors. Material and Methods: This experimental study uses the Stored Biological Materials of mice peritoneum tissue. The paraffin block was divided into six groups, which are the negative control group, positive control group, and four treatment groups with genistein doses of 1.3 mg/day, 1.95 mg/day, 2.6 mg/day, and 3.25 mg/day. Immunohistochemical techniques and hematoxylin-eosin for vascular densities examined PCNA expressions. Preparation analysis uses OLIVIA software. Preparation calculations are done manually with cell count software. Observations were analyzed with the ANOVA test and Dunnett T3 5% test. Results: Based on analysis with ANOVA, there was a significant difference in PCNA expression and vascular densities because of the effect of genistein in various doses with a p-value of 0.001 (p<0.05). Based on Dunnett T3 5% test increase of PCNA expression by giving genistein doses 1,3 mg/day, 1,95 mg/day, and 2,6 mg/day, a reduction in dose of 3,25 mg/day. Vascular densities reduced significantly in all treatment groups. Conclusion: Administration of genistein in various doses significantly increases PCNA expression but reduces PCNA expression in a dose of 3.25 mg/day and significantly reduces vascular densities.","PeriodicalId":502351,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Health Research","volume":"44 51","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139180490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This condition may deteriorate patient’s quality of life due to pain as its main manifestation and its complications, including impaired fertility and risk of ovarian cancer. Current standard endometriosis treatment still yields numerous side effects and controversy. Thus, herbal medicine is hoped to be the safer alternative treatment with excellent efficacy for endometriosis. Methods: The search of literature published in English or Bahasa Indonesia was performed by incorporating the search queries “endometriosis”, “herbal therapy”, “silymarin”, “curcumin”, “Viburnum opulus”, “Pueraria”, “Allium sativum”, “black garlic”, “naringenin” on databases including PubMed, Cochrane, Springer, Science Direct, Nature, and Google Scholar.

Results: Various herbal treatments have been widely studied regarding their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, neuroprotective, hepatoprotective, cardioprotective, antiallergy, and immunomodulatory capacity. A lot of herbal compounds have the potential to suppress and manage endometriosis through various mechanisms, such as inhibiting the migration and adhesion of endometriosis to other tissues, suppressing inflammatory response in endometriosis pathogenesis, generating antioxidant, inhibiting estrogen activity, and inducing apoptosis of endometriosis cell through a number of signaling pathways.

We described fertility desire among HIV-positive women attending Care and Treatment Clinics (CTC) and determined factors for having such a desire to get children in urban areas of Dar es Salaam and Dodoma in Tanzania. Material and Methods: Cross-sectional study for which primary data were collected in a random sample of women of reproductive age (15-49 years) after accessing HIV care and treatment services. A survey was conducted among HIV-positive women receiving anti-retroviral treatment to document service needs, service quality, and fertility preferences. A Univariate model was used to examine the relationship between the dependent and the independent variables, and all associations were taken into account in the final model. Results: Among 691 participants, 282 (40.8%) women living with HIV have fertility desire. Women aged above 25 experienced a reduction in the odds of fertility desire by 56% (P value =0.003) compared to the reference group of women aged 25 years or less. Fertility desire was predicted to have two times as much growth with 1 to < 3 years (p- value=0.02) and 5 or 5+ years (P value =0.01) time lapse since the debut of ART, compared to the group of women who were on ART for 3 years but less than five years.

The primary established approach to manage this condition is surgical interventions, specifically myomectomy, hysterectomy, or hysteroscopic removal of small subserous nodules. Occasionally, submucous fibroids may protrude through the cervical os, thereby enabling the feasibility of performing a vaginal hysterectomy. Case Presentation: The clinical presentation of a 44-year-old multiparous woman who arrived with symptoms of vaginal bleeding and a sizable mass protruding through the vaginal opening. The patient underwent an emergency vaginal extraction to remove the mass measuring 24 cm in the emergency room and a scheduled for elective surgery. During the procedure, uterine inversion was found with a muscle bundle around the corpus uteri and a fourth-grade perineal tear. This patient was also planned for a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral-salphyngo-oophorectomy procedure, along with Haultain's procedure and perineal repair. The patient exhibited favorable surgical outcomes. Conclusion: Hysterectomy is the preferred therapy for prolapsed pedunculated submucous myoma.

Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) is a proteolytic enzyme that has an important role in the remodeling of the extracellular matrix in normal tissues but also contributes to pathologies such as tumor invasion. The therapy has many drawbacks, including being expensive and in need of herbal therapy as an alternative. Phaleria macrocarpa is a native plant of Indonesia that contains flavonoids. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Phaleria macrocarpa flavonoid isolate on the development of apoptosis, proliferation, and angiogenesis in mice model endometriosis. Material and Methods: This research is a true experimental study with a Randomized Post-Test Only with a Control Group in the laboratory. Samples are divided into six groups, a control group and an intervention group, administered with flavonoid extract from Phaleria macrocarpa. Data analysis was carried out by using the Independent T-Test with SPSS for Windows 19.0 software. Results: Each control and intervention group consisted of 6 mice. The normality test for each variable shows p> 0.05.
