Jakarta is listed as one of the cities in the world with the most polluted air quality, with an annual average PM 2.5 of 49.4 g/m³ in 2019. The sources of air pollution in Jakarta among others are the large number of motor vehicles that are not in accordance with the guidelines of safe vehicles for the environment. Not to mention air pollution from industries and factories fueled by coal or other fossils. Online motorcycle taxi drivers are a profession that is at risk of experiencing the effects of this air pollution. Respiratory disorders that can occur such as acute respiratory infections, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), decreased lung function and lung malignancy. To reduce the risk of respiratory problems that can arise in online motorcycle taxi drivers, efforts are being made to prevent and stop exposure to air pollutants through counseling activities which carried out on November 12, 2023. This activity was attended by 42 online motorcycle taxi drivers. Participa...

Rawa Buaya Village is one of the villages in the West Jakarta. This village is a densely populated village with a limited number of health facilities. Based on the 2018 DKI National Basic Health Research (RISKESDAS) data, the proportion of the population aged over 10 years in West Jakarta who behaved properly in washing their hands was only 49.11%. Hand washing is the most important basic technique in the prevention and control of infection transmission because it mechanically removes dirt and dust from the skin surface and reduces the number of pathogenic microorganisms. Because knowledge of clean and healthy living behavior (PHBS) by washing hands with soap is a determining factor in the transmission of infectious diseases such as diarrhea, respiratory infections including Covid-19, education is needed to increase this knowledge. Education by counseling and training activities are carried out online through the Zoom teleconference on April 23, 2022, followed by 45 village resident...

BACKGROUNDSyphilis is a global health problem, especially in developing countries including Indonesia. Treponema pallidum, the etiologic agent of syphilis, cannot be cultured in vitro. Syphilis has several clinical manifestations, making laboratory testing a very important aspect of diagnosis. Microscopic examination may support the diagnosis but is rarely used in Indonesia. The aim of this study was to evaluate negative staining using the light microscope to detect T. pallidum in syphilitic lesions. METHODSA cross-sectional study was conducted involving 27 subjects who came to several dermato-venereology clinics in Jakarta. Exudates were collected from genital ulcers, condylomata lata, and dry mucocutaneous rash on palms and soles of syphilis patients. Negative staining using one drop of Indian ink was used to examine for treponemas under the light microscope at 10x100 magnification. RESULTSMicroscopic examination using negative staining showed a few clusters of small and spiral sh...

LATAR BELAKANG Indonesia dikenal sebagai negara agraris. Sebanyak 40% penduduk bekerja sebagai petani dan 10% diantaranya sebagai petani padi. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome merupakan penyakit akibat kerja. Gerakan repetitif merupakan salah satu faktor resiko Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Dalam bekerja, petani padi banyak melakukan gerakan repetitif. Petani yang bekerja > 40 jam/minggu akan lebih banyak melakukan gerakan repetitif sehingga meningkatkan resiko Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara intensitas kerja dengan Carpal Tunnel Syndrome pada petani padi. METODE Studi potong lintang dilakukan di desa Tambakdahan, Subang, Jawa Barat pada Juni 2017. Sampel penelitian sebanyak 70 responden diambil menggunakan metode konsekutif. Pengumpulan data mengenai karakteristik umur, jenis kelamin, dan intensitas kerja menggunakan kuesioner. Diagnosis Carpal Tunnel Syndrome diperoleh melalui anamnesis, pemeriksaan fisik yaitu pemeriksaan Phalen dan Tinel serta kuesioner Boston’s Carpal Tunnel. Analis data menggunakan Chi-Square dan atau Fisher Exact Test dengan program SPSS 23.0. HASIL Petani di desa Tambakdahan didominasi oleh laki-laki (81,4%). Sebagian besar petani berumur >30 tahun (87,1%). Terdapat 34 dari 70 petani (48, 6%) mengalami Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Sebanyak 88,2% petani yang mengalami Carpal Tunnel Syndrome bekerja >40 jam/minggu. Terdapat hubungan bermakna antara intensitas kerja dengan Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (p=0,02). Tidak terdapat hubungan antara usia dan jenis kelamin dengan Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (p=0,731 dan p=0,365). KESIMPULAN Terdapat hubungan antara intensitas kerja dengan Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Intensitas kerja yang tinggi akan meningkatkan resiko Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Tidak ada hubungan antara usia dan jenis kelamin dengan Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Drink is a vital necessity for human life. In 2007 and 2009, MDG's report the source of drinking water obtained from water piping, non water piping and other protected resources. Based on Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) 20IO, around 29.28% of drinking water sources for Jakarta area obtained from unprotected-non piping water (river, water refills, unprotected wells, unprotected springs), 18.29% from protected piping water (tap water, piped water), 52.43% from protected-non piping water (well pumps, protected wells and springs, rain, bottled water). The most widely used resources for drinking water in Jakarta area are well pumps. Based on 2002 Kepmenkes, the healthy drinking water require bacteriological criteria. The maximum content of coliform allowed for drinking water is 0/100 ml. The research was conducted on 2005 at Cilandak in South Jakarta using cross sectional method. Samples were collected from 30 different residential well pumps with varying depth from 2-15 meters. Th...

BackgroundSyphilis is a multistage disease transmitted primarily through sexual intercourse. Nowadays, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for Treponema pallidum has been widely used and is expected to overcome problems in diagnostic tests for syphilis. The Treponema pallidum PCR is influenced by type of specimens, PCR methods and target genes. This study aimed to assess the use of blood and serum in multiplex nested PCR for Treponema pallidum, targeting the 23S rRNA.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted from April 2015 - April 2016. Sampling was carried out consecutively among patients with clinical features of secondary syphilis who came to Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) clinics in Jakarta. All sera were also tested with Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) and Treponema pallidum Hemagglutination Assay (TPHA) assay, which was considered as the gold standard for this study. We determined the sensitivity and specificity of the multiplex nested PCR for Treponema pallidum using b...

Treponema pallidum adalah bakteri penyebab sifilis. Sifilis ditemukan pada abad ke XV di dataran Eropa, menyebar ke seluruh dunia dan menjadi isu global sampai saat ini. Sifilis dikenal dengan sebutan raja singa merupakan salah satu penyakit infeksi menular seksual yang penularannya tidak hanya melalui hubungan seksual. Infeksi lokal yang disebabkan oleh masuknya Treponema pallidum akan berkembang cepat menjadi sistemik dan bahkan dapat mengancam nyawa. Treponema pallidum tidak dapat dikultur secara in vitro. Pemeriksaan penunjang untuk menegakkan diagnosis mengandalkan uji serologi. Saat ini, pemeriksaan standar untuk sifilis menggunakan mikroskop lapangan gelap sulit dilakukan. Pemeriksaan baru untuk mendeteksi Treponema pallidum menggunakan uji molekuler sudah mulai dikembangkan sejak abad XX. Penulisan ini mengambil ulasan dari beberapa jurnal penelitian yang menggunakan PCR sebagai alat diagnostik Treponema pallidum untuk membandingkan metode-metode pemeriksaan molekuler PCR Tr...

Penyakit infeksi HIV- AIDS telah menjadi masalah darurat global. Data yang diperoleh pada tahun 2021 menunjukkan sebanyak 38.4 juta penduduk di seluruh dunia  terinfeksi HIV. Sebagian besar orang dengan HIV-AIDS tidak mampu melakukan aktivitas keseharian dengan baik sehingga membutuhkan orang yang dapat mendampingi serta memberi dukungan psikososial, yaitu caregiver.  Ketergantungan orang dengan HIV-AIDS terhadap caregivernya dapat menimbulkan beban pada caregiver. Keadaaan ini bilamana berlangsung jangka panjang dapat berdampak pada kualitas hidup caregiver. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara beban perawatan ODHA dengan kualitas hidup caregiver/keluarga ODHA. Metode yang digunakan adalah studi potong lintang dilakukan pada caregiver ODHA. Data yang diperoleh dari 56 responden menunjukkan terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara beban perawatan dengan kualitas hidup pada domain overall quality of life (p=0,025) dan domain psikologis (p=0,035). Beban perawatan ODHA m...
