Although several reported cases of dengue and Malaria occur together, only a few cases have been reported in Southeast Asia, including Indonesia. This study aims to provide additional insight into the epidemiology and clinical aspects of Plasmodium knowlesi (P. knowlesi) malaria infection and dengue fever that occur concurrently in Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia. A 36-year-old male patient with a history of travel to the mountainous area of Lhoknga and a fever for five days sought treatment at the emergency department of Meuraxa Hospital. During 11 days of treatment, the patient underwent a routine haematology examination every 24 hours. The average platelet count during the first eight days was around 50,000, with an increase after anti-malarial treatment on the eighth day and marked clinical improvement. The patient was discharged on day 10 with no signs of bleeding or hemolysis during treatment. Diagnosis involved blood smears and hematologic examination, confirming dengue fever with P. knowlesi malaria infection. These findings emphasize the importance of thorough history taking, physical examination, and supporting investigations to diagnose these two conditions together. The results of this study may provide critical support for case management involving malaria infection and dengue fever, with a focus on platelet monitoring as an indicator of response to treatment in the Southeast Asian region.","PeriodicalId":507987,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Health Journal","volume":"226 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139160960","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}

Groundcherry leaves contain flavonoid and alkaloid compounds, which can be used as antibacterials. Antibacterial is a substance that can kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria on the skin, such as Staphylococcus aureus, which can cause skin infections. Antibacterial preparations are generally very varied. One type of antibacterial preparation is liquid soap. This research aims to determine whether Groundcherry leaf extract liquid soap preparations can inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and to determine the effect of different formulations of Groundcherry leaf extract liquid soap preparations on the ability to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Liquid soap formulations use extracts with concentrations of 10%, 15% and 20%. The method used in this research was disc diffusion using positive control, negative control and test samples (formulations I, II, III). The research results showed that the liquid soap preparation was able to inhibit bacterial growth. A clear zone in the area around the disc indicated this. Differences in the concentration of extracts in liquid soap preparations can affect bacterial growth. The diameter of the inhibition zone of the formula in the sequence is 10% concentration, the diameter of the inhibition zone is 7.97 mm, and the 15% concentration the diameter of the inhibition zone is 14.82 mm. The 20% concentration, the diameter of the inhibition zone is 17.6 mm, so it can be concluded that the leaf extract liquid soap preparation Groundcherry can inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria.","PeriodicalId":507987,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Health Journal","volume":"47 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139266904","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}

Midwife support is a factor that influences the success of exclusive breastfeeding. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between midwives' support and exclusive breastfeeding in the working area of the Jamblang Health Center, Cirebon Regency. This research is a qualitative descriptive survey using a cross-sectional approach. The number of respondents is 104 people. Data on midwife support and exclusive breastfeeding were obtained using a questionnaire—a statistical test to determine the relationship between variables using the chi-square test. The results of data analysis obtained a p-value of midwife support 0.038 ( p-value <0.05) for exclusive breastfeeding, meaning there is a significant relationship between midwife support for exclusive breastfeeding. Midwife have the knowledge and skills necessary to assist mothers in addressing various issues that may arise during breastfeeding. They can provide technical assistance in dealing with problems such as infant latching issues, mastitis, or insufficient breast milk production. This support can enhance the success of mothers in providing exclusive breastfeeding.","PeriodicalId":507987,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Health Journal","volume":"62 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139333175","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}

The prevalence of stunting in Indonesia in 2018 reached 30.8%. With the complexity of the causes of stunting, one of the efforts being campaigned by the government is using local food. This study aimed to determine and analyze the influence of local food culture on preventing and overcoming stunting in toddlers (6-59 months) in Indonesia. The method used in this study is a systematic review based on the PRISMA guidelines. The results of this study show that a review of the seven selected journals shows that local food culture influences improving the nutritional status of toddlers, especially during the stunting prevention phase. Whereas in the prevention phase, local food culture by utilizing processed food forms has not improved the nutritional status of toddlers already suffering from stunting. Local food for toddlers who suffer from stunting must be accompanied by other supplements to have a significant effect. Food and eating in the community have cultural and social values, so the utilization of local food culture for toddler food will be easily accepted, easy to obtain, and affordable, significantly influencing stunting prevention in the regions. This research has implications for the importance of remembering that the results of this research can make a valuable contribution to the health and development of children in Indonesia and inspire concrete action to prevent funds from overcoming stunting.","PeriodicalId":507987,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Health Journal","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139333468","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}
