Background: Coronary heart diseases (CHD) is a disorder that caused by blockage of coronary arteries due to the process of atherosclerosis which disrupts the blood supply to the heart muscle. According to Sample Registration System (SRS) Indonesia in 2014, CHD is a second highest cause of death after stroke that is 12,9% of all cause of death in Indonesia. Therefore, this study aims to examining the effect of soybean extract encapsulated with Self Microemulsifying Drug Delivery System (SMEDDS) on LDL levels in coronary heart model rats. Based on various study, isoflavone aglycone genistein is the main flavonoid in soybean seed that has potential as an antioxidant. To increase bioavailability of aglycone isoflavones, a SMEDDS is needed. In this regard, the purpose of this reseach is to examine the potential of soybean seed (Glycine soja) extract to reduced cholesterol in CHD.Methods: The method used is a literature review with literature sources in the form of relevant articles from the search engines, namely Google Scholar, Pubmed, ScienceDirect, and Research Gate. Inclusion criteria included journals containing the keywords “soybean (Glycine soja)”, “Coronary Heart Disease”, “SMEDDS”, and “genistein isoflavone aglycone”.Result: Isoflavone aglycone as an potential antioxidant that is able to bind free radicals and and also lowering LDL, Triglycerides, and glucose levels in hyperglycemic states and increasing HDL.Conclusion : Soybean seed extract with SMEDDS encapsulation have a potential to decrease LDL level in coronary heart disease.

Background: As a developing country, Indonesia maintains a low level of welfare for hygiene, as exemplified by Indonesia’s poor access facilities to clean water and lack of proper sanitation for households. Meanwhile, a proper supply of water and sanitation will help in reducing morbidity and mortality rates of diarrhea in children. Other risk factors such as socio-economic and socio-demographic conditions, helps improving the quality of life of households, thus lowering the risk of various diseases, including diarrhea.Methods: This study uses a Logistic Regression Analysis (Logit) model with Cross-sectional design using data collected from the 5th wave of the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS-5) in 2014. The study population was children aged 2-10 years with a total of 2446 observations.Result: The result shows that there was a relationship between father's education in elementary school level (p=0.013), father's education in junior high school level (p=0.015), father's education in high school level (p=0.001), father's education at the university level (p=0.012), income (p=0.051), children’s age (p=0.000), and children’s gender (p=0.033) with the rate of diarrhea in children.Conclusion: This research concludes that water consumption factors (sources of drinking water, drinking water boiling process before consumption) and sanitation facilities factors (household toilet types) have insignificant results on the diarrhea rate of children in urban areas of Indonesia. However, socio-economic factors (fathers' education and household income) and socio-demographic factors (children’s gender and children’s age) have a significant effect on the diarrhea rates of children in urban areas of Indonesia.

Background: Diarrhea is the main cause of malnutrition in underfive children. One of the efforts to prevent diarrhea in infants is exclusive breastfeeding. Exclusive breastfeeding is infant that receives only breast milk without any additional consumption from 0 to 6 months. Under six months infant who are not exclusively breastfed have a higher risk of developing diarrhea than those who are exclusively breastfed.Methods: This study aims to determine the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of diarrhea in under six months infants in Indonesia. This study analyze secondary data from the 2017 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey. The sample in this study consist of all live infants aged 0-6 months born to women aged 15-49 years in Indonesia who were successfully interviewed and had a complete answer (no answer missing). After weighting, 1898 samples were obtained.Result: The result found that the proportion of diarrhea incidence in Indonesia is 9.1%. Meanwhile of all infants, 36% were not exclusively breastfed. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between infants who were not exclusively breastfed and diarrhea incidence in Indonesia after adjusted by mother's education level, maternal employment status, mother’s economic level, area of residence, and latrine ownership (PR = 2.12, 95% CI = 1.46-3.07).Conclusion : Infants who were not exclusively breastfed increase the risk for diarrhea. Therefore it is necessary to have a program to increase the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding. The program can take the form of counseling by health workers in health services.

ABSTRACTBackground: Nutritional status is the body's needs in the growth and development of toddlers. A recent sector study on nutrition development in Indonesia shows that the problem of child nutrition is still quite high in the community. North Maluku Province is the fourth place among the provinces which contributing nutrition problem in 2019 with a percentage of 20.9%. Good nutritional status itself is necessary to the growth and the development of toddlers. Since the number of nutritionists in North Maluku Province is still limited, this study was conducted to explore the collaboration between nutritionists and nurses in handling nutritional problems among toddlers in this province.Methods: This study used a qualitative research method and was conducted in 5 Primary Health Care Centers within the region of West Halmahera District. This research involved 15 participants consisting of nurses, nutritionists and the Heads of Primary Health Care Center. The data collection used in-depth interviews for each participant with a total of research duration of about 2 months.Result: The results showed that the collaboration between nurses and nutritionists was mainly to perform vital body examination and to give supplementary feeding for toddlers. Primary Health Care has a Plan of Action for this program of collaboration. Other than that, sometimes they provide some health education about exclusive breastfeeding, good nutritional intake and the importance of bringing toddlers to the integrated service center called Posyandu.Conclusion : Nurses and nutritionists in West Halmahera collaborate to improve toddlers nutritional status but the collaboration is still limited.

Background: Currently, hypertension becomes one of the leading issues not only for medical community but also to the broader societies. Even though hypertension could be symptomatic, in most case it didn’t until the devastating complications shows up. Functional capacity is a simple tool based on our daily activity. The six-minute walk test could be one of the simplest ways in measuring functional capacity. Six-minute distance as the outcome of this test could be potentially a marker for functional capacity in hypertensive group compare to non-hypertensive group.Methods: This is a case control study with 34 female participants in six-minute walking test.Result: There are no significant different of age, height, weight, and body max index between those groups. The six-minute walking distance drastically difference between hypertensive and non-hypertensive group, 306m and 367m respectively with p-value < 0,01. Heart rate pre-test also statistically different between control group and case group. (75 bpm and 94 bpm, p-value = 0,027) Post-test blood pressure is notably distinctive between two groups. Additionally, systolic blood pressure post-test lower than initial value. Hypertension alters human functional capacity ominously.Conclusion : The six-minute walk test could be applied as simple functional capacity marker in hypertension subject.
