Abstract : Salacialehmbachii has been used in traditional medicine to treat malaria and anaemia, convulsion, pains, inflammation, respiratory disorders, and other health challenges. This study evaluated the antiplasmodial activity and hematological parameters in Plasmodium berghei-infected mice treated with ethanol root extract of S.lehmbachii. Sixty healthy Swiss mice were used for this study. The 4-day suppressivetest, curative effects against established rodent malaria infection in mice models and haematological indices. The animals were treated with 20 mL/kg of distilled water, chloroquine 10 mg/kg, 50 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/g of the ethanol root extract, respectively. The extract at varying doses, significantly (p<0.05 and p<0.01) exhibited a dose-dependent decrease in parasitemia in suppressive and curative studies. Chloroquineat 10 mg/kg significantly (p<0.01) decreased parasitemia levels in the two models of malaria infections. The effect elicited by the extract against plasmodium is equivalent to standard drug in terms comparison. There was a significant increase (p<0.01) in hematological indices. However, there was also a decrease (P <0.05) in WBC and its differentials. The secondary metabolites revealed potential phytoconstituents. The extract was found to be non-toxic in mice at 5000 mg/kg. The findings show that S. Lehmbachiiethanol root extract demonstrated high antiplasmodial activity in a dose-dependent fashion and improved hematological indicesin plasmodia infected mice.

Journal ID : AMJ-09-02-2023-11204; Author : Dr.Sonali Rajdev, Dr.Ranadip Mukherjee2, Dr.Rahul Kumar Shukla,
Abstract : Eclampsia and Pre-eclampsia account for about half of these cases Worldwide and have been recognized and described for year despite the general lack of understanding of the disease. Hypertension is the most common medical problem encountered during pregnancy. Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a metabolic disorder that adversely affects the lives of mother and their infants. Even though, several studies have been conducted on PE, no effective diagnostic and therapeutic agents were developed so far. Eclampsia, which is considered a complication of sever pre-eclampsia. It is commonly defined as new onset of Grand mal seizure activity or/and unexplained coma during pregnancy or postpartum in a female with signs or symptoms of pre-eclampsia Hence, this study was designed to evaluate serum uric acid, blood urea and creatinine levels in the prediction of Pre-eclampsia (PE) and Eclampsia. A hospital-based case-control study was conducted among pregnant women’s. A simple random sampling technique was applied to select study participants. The clinical data were collected. Serum samples were used to determine the maternal uric acid, urea and creatinine levels via an automated chemistry analyzer. Independent sample t-test, Pearson correlation test analysis were performed to check the association and diagnostic accuracy of variables Eclampsia to pre- eclampsia. The mean ages (in years) of the case and control groups were 17 to 20 age group with 11, 12 & 06 patients, 21 to25 age group with 33,11 & 17 patients, and 26 to31 age group with 6, 02 & 03 patients of controls, pre- eclampsia and eclampsia respectively. The above geographical distribution of patients. In pre-eclampsia 21 is rural & 04 is urban and in eclampsia 25 is rural & 01 is urban and no one is found in tribal. The age wise comparison of uric acid, urea and creatinine of cases in pre-eclampsia. The most deviation is shown by age group 26 to 31. The comparison of all parameters in controls and cases of pre-eclampsia. The Uric acid 9.676±3.376, urea 44.544±9.152 and creatinine1.2560±0.3841 are highly significant in cases as compared to control group of Uric Acid 3.3145±0.910 Urea 30.168±8.287 and Creatinine 0.7366±0.1686 comparison of all parameters in control and cases of eclampsia. Uric acid, urea and creatinine are highly significant in cases as compared to control groups respectively. In this study, Uric acid is found to be highly significant in 2nd and 3rd age group (P<0.001) and not significant in 1st and 2nd & 3rd and 1st age group. Urea is found to be highly significant in all compared age group (P<0.001). Creatinine is found to be not significant in any compared age group in Pre -eclampsia patients and Uric acid is found to be not significant in any compared age group. Urea is found to be highly significant in 2nd and 3rd age group (P<0.001) and not significant in 1st and 2nd & 3rd and 1st age group. Creatinine is found to be not significant in any age group of eclampsia Patients. But their inclusion in routine diagnostic test to eclampsia & Pre-eclampsia requires large-scale multi-center prospective studies that corroborate our findings.

Journal ID : AMJ-07-02-2023-11199; Author : Dicky Alamsyah, Hasanuddin Ishak, Syamsuar, Erniwati Ibrahim, Muhammad Syafar, Yahya Thamrin,
Abstract : Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever is a major health problem in Indonesia. The existence of Aedes Aegypti mosquito is the main vector that causes Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever [9]. The bionomics of the Aedes Aegypti mosquito is a risk factor for causing Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (Mawardi and Busra, 2019). The incidence of Dengue Fever in the people of Enrekang Regency is influenced by the living habits of the Aedes Aegypti mosquito. Bionomic data of the Aedes Aegypti mosquito in the Enrekang Regency area is not yet available. In the Enrekang district, there were 166 cases of dengue fever in 2019, an increase of 209 cases in 2020, and a decrease in 2021 of 64 cases. Cases of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever in Enrekang district are included among the 10 highest diseases. To determine the bionomic relationship (biting and resting behavior) of Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes with the incidence of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever in the Enrekang district. The method in this research is analytic observational using a cross-sectional study approach. Analytical observational is research that tries to identify how health phenomena occur. Sampling was done by the total sampling method. The data was obtained directly from the Enrekang District health office. The results showed that there was no significant relationship between the biting behavior of Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes (p = 0.470), while the resting behavior of Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes had a significant relationship (p = 0.000) with the incidence of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever in Enrekang District. The results of the study show that the habit of the Aedes Aegypti mosquito is a risk factor for Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever in the Enrekang district.

Journal ID : AMJ-03-02-2023-11188; Author : Siti Ariyanti Temarwut, Agus Bintara Birawida, Erniwati Ibrahim, Ain Khaer, Nurlia Sila,
Abstract : Domestic waste water, whose presence can reach 60-70 percent, is currently the most prevalent pollutant in water bodies. Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) are components of domestic wastewater. Biological treatment is one method of wastewater management. Some researchers employ algal biofilters to reduce nitrogen and phosphorus using biofilter technology. Objective To compare Coral and Coconut Shell Coir Biofilter Media for Reducing BOD, COD, and TSS Levels in Domestic Wastewater (Grey Water). This sort of study employs a quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest approach. The pretreatment test was achieved by assessing the parameters of the wastewater prior to treatment, whereas the posttreatment test was conducted after treatment. With this design, observations or measurements are performed multiple times (both before and after treatment) to reduce the influence of external circumstances. According to the study's findings, the BOD parameter test results utilizing coconut shell coir media had a significant p value of 0.055. Using the paired t-test, it was determined that there was a substantial drop in BOD levels before and after processing, with a p-value of > 0.05, thus H0 was rejected and Ha was allowed. In addition to the rock media test results, the TSS parameter has a significant p value of 0.003. Using the paired t-test, it was shown that there was a significant drop in TSS levels before and after processing with a p value 0.05, so H0 was rejected and Ha was allowed.

Journal ID : AMJ-02-02-2023-11187; Author : drg. Hajerah, Prof. Dr. dr. Muhammad Syafar, MS, Dr. Ridwan Mochtar Thaha, M.Sc, Sudirman Nasir, S.Ked. MWH., Ph.D, Prof. Sukri Palutturi, SKM., M.Kes, M.Sc.PH, Ph.D, Prof. Dr. dr. Syamsiar S. Russeng, MS, Sugino, S.Mn., MM.,,
Abstract : Work stress on civil servants in Indonesia is increasing in line with modernization and demands for public services. High work stress results poor physical and mental health, low job satisfaction, increased fatigue, and work accidents. This study aims to explain the influence of work stressors on work stress response by considering the role of individual characteristics and coping strategies as mediators. A cross-sectional study with an explanatory research approach was conducted randomly on 130 civil servants at the State Treasury Office in South Sulawesi. The Brief Job Stress Questionnaire (BJSQ) was used to assess work stressors and work stress responses, and The Brief COPE was used to assess coping strategies. Path analysis evaluates the relationship between individual characteristics, coping strategies, stressors, and work stress responses. The results showed that high work stressors were associated with decreased coping strategies (p-value <0.05) but low work stressors were positively associated with decreased stress responses (p-value <0.001). Individual characteristics were associated with an increase work stress response (p-value <0.001) but could not increase the effect of work stressors on the stress response. Likewise, coping strategies cannot reduce the effect of work stressors on stress response (Estimated value <0.525). Individual characteristics and coping strategies do not affect the relationship between stressors and work stress responses. Work stress management in controlling work stressors still needs to be done to minimize the risk of work stress in civil servants.
