Lalang Sembawa Village, a partner village of Poltekkes Kemenkes Palembang in Banyuasin Regency, faces a substantial burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), particularly Cancer, Heart Disease, Stroke, and Urological disorders (KJSU). Screening data from the South Sumatra Provincial Health Office in 2025 indicated a high proportion of residents at risk of colon cancer, cardiovascular disease, and stroke. These findings were supported by Poskesdes records through April 2026, which documented 126 cases of cardiovascular disease and hypertension and 38 cases of diabetes mellitus. Two key challenges were identified: (1) limited knowledge among community members and health cadres regarding KJSU prevention and dietary management of NCDs; and (2) insufficient understanding among health cadres and Primary Health Center staff of the transition from the conventional Posyandu model to the Integrated Primary Care (ILP) system, resulting in suboptimal implementation. To address these challenges, an interprofessional community empowerment program involving seven health disciplines was conducted on 17 April 2026, engaging 75 participants, including community members, health cadres, Primary Health Center staff, and village officials. The program combined health education on KJSU and NCD dietary management with cadre mentoring and refresher training on ILP implementation. The intervention enhanced participants' knowledge of KJSU prevention and healthy dietary practices while strengthening cadres' understanding of ILP roles and the importance of integrating Free Health Check services into routine Posyandu activities. These outcomes support the development of a more knowledgeable and self-reliant community in preventing and managing NCDs in Lalang Sembawa Village

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis that most often affects the lungs. It is classified as an airborne disease since it spreads through the air when people with TB cough, sneeze, or spit. Indonesia is one of the countries with the total high TB burden worldwide. The estimated number of people who fell ill because of TB reached 845,000, with a death rate of 98,000, or equivalent to 11 deaths/hour. The control of TB in Indonesia has been carried out for more than seventy years, but Indonesia is still reported as the country with the second-highest TB burden in the world. The long-term use of anti-TB drugs or Multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB), an immunosuppressive agent, can cause fungal infections. Fungal infections can occur in the earlier stage of the disease, but the patients are only given anti-TB drugs. It takes longer for them to recover due to fungal coinfections. The purpose of this study was to find out the frequency distribution of tuberculosis based on the characteristics of patients (age, gender, and type of fungi) and to investigate the statistical distribution of fungi based on the characteristics of sputum i.e color (mucopurulent), consistency (viscosity), and blood presence (hemoptysis). This study used an analytical research design with an observational cross-sectional approach. The samples of this study were sputum taken from 98 patients collected using an accidental sampling technique. The results of the study revealed that, of 98 patients, 81 (82.7%) were adult, 63 (64.3%) were male, 41 (41.9%) were infected with Candida sp, 9 (9.1%) with Aspergillus sp, and 17 (17.3%) with mixed infection. Meanwhile, 31 (31.7%) samples were found negative. In addition, there was no significant relationship between the types of fungi and the characteristics of sputum.

Abstrak Pemeriksaan lemak darah seperti kolesterol merupakan salah satu parameter kimia klinik yang berguna untuk mengetahui ada tidaknya peningkatan kadar kolesterol dalam tubuh. Pemeriksaan lemak darah dilakukan dengan mengunakan sampel serum atau plasma. Spesimen yang biasa digunakan sampel serum atau plasma dengan cara dicentifuge dengan kecepatan 3000 RPM selama 5-15 menit. Kenyataan di lapangan sering kali diabaikan oleh beberapa teknisi dengan mengurangi lama waktu sentrifugasi yang bertujuan untuk mempersingkat waktu pemeriksaan. Sampel darah yang disentrifugasi dengan waktu yang tidak tepat akan merusak enzim lipoprotein pada kolesterol. Waktu sentrifugasi yang terlalu singkat akan menyebabkan serum dan zat-zat yang terkandung didalamnya tidak terpisah sempurna dari sel-sel darah sehingga akan menyebabkan hasil rendah palsu, sementara itu waktu sentrifugasi yang terlalu lama selain dapat merusak senyawa lipoprotein juga akan menyebabkan sampel hemolisis. Tujuan Penelitian: untuk mengetahui hasil analisis pemeriksaan kadar kolesterol menurut lama waktu serum sentrifugasi. Metode Penelitian: Penelitian ini bersifat analitik dengan pendekatan cross-sectional dan dilakukan di Laboratorium Kimia Klinik Jurusan Analis Kesehatan Poltekkes Kemenkes Palembang. Sampel penelitian ini adalah sebanyak 30 sampel. Analisis data menggunakan One Way Anova.

Background: Lymphatic filariasis is a parasitic disease that is similar to the threads of its habitat in the lymph system that infect humans, namely Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, and Brugia timori. Although B. malayi commonly infects humans, recent evidence also suggests that Brugia pahangi, an afilarial nematode naturally found in cats, can cause clinical infection in humans, with clinical features consistent with lymphatic filariasis. Methods: Cross-sectional with an observational and analytic approach. The results of a positive microscopic examination were carried out by Brugia Rapid Test for B. malayi and PCR examination for B. malayi and B. pahangi. Positive microscopic results were then checked for periodicity of microfilariae every 2 hours for 24 hoursResults: From the research, 17 people were positive for B. malayi microfilariae (mf rate 6.34%). The Brugia Rapid Test had 17 positive results. PCR results of 14 people were positive/formed a band at 322 bp. The results of the sample sequencing were B. malayi species. PCR results of B. pahangi were not found to be positive / band formed in all samples. The periodicity results of microfilaria peaked at 00: 00-04: 00 with the nocturnal periodic type. Conclusions: Lubuk Pauh Village, Musi Rawas Regency is still endemic for malayi filariasis with a high level of endemicity and is not an endemic area for filariasis pahangi. The periodicity of microfilariae indicates a nocturnal periodic type.

Dari hasil uji Anova didapatkan nilai p-value = 0.98 atau > 0,05. Ini berarti bahwa tidak ada hubungan antara kadar glukosa dengan tingkat stres mahasiswa. Kesimpulan: tidak ada hubungan yang signifikan antara kadar glukosa darah dengan tingkat stres mahasiswa. Kata kunci : Glukosa darah, tingkat stres, mahasiswa ABSTRACT Background: Stress is a non-specific response of the body due to demands that exceed the individual's ability to fulfill them. When people get stressed, the body will respond by stimulating the hypothalamic area to produce the epinephrine which functions to convert glycogen into glucose and norepinephrine which functions to prevent a decrease in blood glucose levels. Continuous stress can cause glucose levels to increase so that it can increase the risk of hypertension and diabetes mellitus. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between blood glucose levels and stress levels on the third year students of the Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT), a three-year diploma program, Poltekkes Kemenkes Palembang in 2021. Methods: This research is an observational-analytic study with a cross-sectional approach. The research was carried out on February 9, 2021 at the MLT Campus, Palembang. The number of research sample was 40 students who were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The determination of blood glucose levels used the GOD-PAP method and the measurement of stress levels used the DASS-42 questionnaire. Results: the average blood glucose level with stress level of normal, mild, moderate, and severe were 83 mg/dL, 82 mg/dL, 83 mg/dL, and 81 mg/dL, respectively. From the results of the ANOVA test, the p-value = 0.98 or > 0.05. This means that there is no relationship between glucose levels and student stress levels. Conclusion: there is no significant relationship between blood glucose levels and stress levels of students. Keywords: Blood glucose, stress level, students

Background and Aim: Brugia malayi is known to be zoonotically important because it can be transmitted from animals (mammals and primates) to humans or from humans to humans through mosquito vectors. This study was conducted to explore the fauna associated with Malayan filariasis transmission in Sedang village, Suak Tapeh District, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra Province, Indonesia. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional research design with an observational and analytical approach was applied in this study, and it was conducted in May 2018. Mosquitoes were collected twice using human bait both inside and outside the house from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. The presence of competitors, predators, and reservoir hosts in the areas of five breeding habitats of Mansonia spp. was observed. The presence of microfilaria was confirmed under a microscope in night blood samples of inhabitants and cats. The presence of infective larvae (L3) of B. malayi was identified microscopically and based on the polymerase chain reaction method in female Mansonia mosquitoes. Results: A total of 12 mosquito species were found, among which Mansonia uniformis was the dominant mosquito, and the predominant competitor was Mansonia annulifera. Dragonflies, as predators were found in two breeding habitats and fish were found in one breeding habitat. The L3 of B. malayi were not identified in the mosquitoes, and the microfilariae of B. malayi were not found in the blood samples of inhabitants and cats. Conclusion: Although Mansonia mosquito population was abundant in Banyuasin Regency, the mosquito was not confirmed as an intermediate host of B. malayi, and the cat was not confirmed as a reservoir of B. malayi in the location.

BACKGROUND AND AIM:Studies to determine abundance, distribution, species composition, and mosquito interactions are very important in understanding the risk of disease transmission to implement appropriate mosquito management in endemic areas. Lymphatic filarial worms are one of the parasites that are contracted and/or transmitted by mosquitoes when sucking the blood of infected humans or animals and then biting others. This research was conducted to study the abundance, species composition, mosquito biting cycles, density and periodicity of mosquitoes caught in Lubuk Pauh Village, Bulang Tengah Suku Ulu, Musi Rawas, South Sumatera, Indonesia, which is an endemic area of zoonotic Brugia malayi. MATERIALS AND METHODS:The mosquito collection was done in July 2018 using the human landing collection method for 11 h from 18.00 pm to 5.00 am Western Indonesian Time. The catching of mosquitoes was done both indoors and outdoors, and mosquitoes were identified under a dissecting microscope using an identification key to confirm their species. Detection of B. malayi larvae in mosquitoes was confirmed by dissection and polymerase chain reaction methods. RESULTS:The caught mosquitoes consisted of four species: Armigeres subalbatus, Culex quinquefasciatus, Culex vishnui, and Mansonia uniformis. Based on the Shannon-Wiener index, Lubuk Pauh Village has low mosquito species diversity (0.210). Ar. subalbatus was the dominant mosquito in Lubuk Pauh Village with dominance number 95.08, and it had the most frequent activity in each of periods of indoor and outdoor collection, with the highest density (man-hour density) at 18.00-19.00 (51.750). B. malayi infective stage larvae were not found in all mosquito species caught. CONCLUSION:Existence of Ar. subalbatus, Cx. quinquefasciatus, and Ma. uniformis in Lubuk Pauh Village which is an endemic area of B. malayi shows that the area is at risk of lymphatic filariasis transmission.

Mansonia uniformis is the main vector of nocturnally sub-periodic Brugia malayi in South Sumatra, Indonesia. In places endemic for mosquito borne diseases, it is necessary for mosquito surveillance system be established and regularly updated. The study determined relative abundance and landing pattern of Ma. uniformis in Sedan Village, Banyuasin, South Sumatra, a Malayan filariasis endemic area. Mosquitoes were collected by a human-landing method indoors and outdoors at six randomly selected houses every hour from 06:00 PM to 05:00 AM for two consecutive nights in May 2018. Mansonia identified morphologically were Ma. annulifera (27%), Ma. dives (1%) and Ma. uniforms (62%), with 1.4 folds higher numbers collected outdoors than indoors. Landing of Ma. uniformis was active soon after dusk and the highest density of indoors and outdoors landing was both 09:00-10:00 PM, with 9 and 8 mosquito /hour / person landing, respectively. Thus, the predominance of Ma. uniformis in Sedan Village indicates a risk of nocturnally sub-periodic Malayan filariasis transmission, and appropriate measures should be taken to prevent mosquito bites and to eliminate breeding sites of this mosquito vector.
