East Nusa Tenggara is the province with the highest prevalence of clinical malaria in Indonesia. The highest malaria endemic districk in East Nusa Tenggara Province is East Sumba. The purpose of the research is to describe the correlation of Anopheles spp. density with rainfall index and vector status of malaria in East Sumba Regency. This research is a survey with cross sectional design, Data …
Rainwater is one of the most potential sources for water supply which can be used for everyday purposes, incJuding in hospitals, Rainwater relatively has good quality, however, in the harvest¬ing process, i. e, by collecting the water pouring from the root, pollutants may be brought and affecting the quality of the rsinweter. Filtration by using multimedia filter and ultraviolet disinfect¬ion…
ABSTRACT Flood hit frequently in many places in Indonesia. One of the main causal factors is the lack of rainwater and wastewater absorption areas as the impact of land surface which are blocked by buildings and roads. On the other side, there is a problem about the decrease of groundwater deposit. Both problems may give disadvantage for people' health, environment and worsen the economi…

Therefore, it is expected the understanding and skills of each cadre in growth stimulation techniques for toddlers in Working Area of Jatinegara Public Health Centre. Training is one way to improve knowledge, skills and attitudes of cadres. Therefore, researchers wanted to…
Results: The post-operative IL-6 serum level showed a downward trend compared to pre-operative value (mean decrease: -190.61 pg/mL). The post-operative IL-6 level was significantly associated with GCS 7 days post-operation (p = 0.006), with OR 24. The post-operative IL-6 serum level was significantly associated with GOS 3 months post-trauma (p = 0.016) with OR 11.6. The post-operative uric acid…
Background: This study was done to determine the effect of root extract of Acalypha indica Linn (akar kucing) in protecting neuron viability ofthe rat hippocampus on tissue culture in hypoxic condition. Methods: This is an experimental study of in vitro prirnary cell culture of hippocampus of Sprague Dowley aduh rat. The cultures were group into control (C) and exposure to root extract of Aca…
Background: Hypoxia hypobaric increase the production of free radicals, especially reactive oxygen species (ROS). The increase in ROS would cause oxidative stress when not accompanied by an increase in antioxidant enzymes. This condition may minimize by intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (IHH). This study aimed to identify the number of IHH which may minimize the effect of hypoxia hypobaric on oxid…
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) morbidit), and mortality are due to primary and secondary injury. Primary injury is due to mechanical forces during the trauma process and secondary injury is subsequent process following the primary impact. This secondary injury processes involving increased excitatory amino acids, ionic imbalance, decreased ATP level, unusual proteolytic enzyme activity, and oxida…
