Abstract

Background: Benzene was a dangerous chemical compound which was one of the products of gas stations and one of the chemicals contained in gasoline and it was carcinogenic. TTo reduce and eliminate toxin of benzene from human body, could be used the detoxification process. One of the detoxification process approach was using foods. The aim of this research was to calculate the foods intake containing CYP2E1 enzyme, sulfation, and glutathione to improve benzene detox.

Method: The type ofr esearch was descriptive study. The subjects was 15 workers. Location of this research was in gas station Pancoranmas Depok. Variables were body weight, duration of work, working time perweek, working time perday, and benzene concentration. After getting all variables above, breathing rate and intake non-carcinogen per respondent can be calculated. Then, effective doses of foods containing CYP2E1 enzyme, sulfation, and glutathione would be obtained.

Results: All respondents were at workplace shows benzene concentration below the TLV. The highest effective dose of foods containing CYP2E1 enzyme was cow brain, sulfation was tuna, and glutathione was carrot.

Conclusion: The level of adequacy of enzyme of each respondent was different. Effective dose of each respondent depending on body weight, duration of work, and benzene concentration at workplace. Every respondent could choose foods depending on their needs and taste.

Abstract

Tender Loving Care (TLC), in providing professional care, is seen as the greatest virtue dedicated to care. It is used to describe how love is shaped and refined to meet the requirements of practice. These are the values of TLC-based care, particularly in growth and development services performed by the cadres in Taman Posyandu. This research aims to describe the efforts of TLC-based early childhood growth monitoring in Taman Posyandu. It is a kind of quantitative study with a cross-sectional approach. This research was carried out in four districts (cities) in East Java with the great sample of 320 Taman Posyandu. The results revealed that most cadres were more optimal in monitoring growth activities while lacking in the ability of TLC-based early childhood development monitoring. Therefore, more effort is needed in approaching and training deeply to provide the knowledge to the cadres about the importance of serving with heart, as an effort to monitor TLC-based child development.

Abstract

Head injury is the condition of brain function changes or pathological conditions in brain caused by the pressure that coming from the outside of brain. The occurrence of head injury is very high in the world followed by the level of death and disability. Therefore, requires initial assessment to predict the impairment of head injury patients by using RTS. This study purposed to determine the accuracy of RTS in predicting impairment of head injury patients. This study used analytical observational design with retrospective approach. Total respondents in this study was 245 medical records of head injury patients. Measurement was conducted by using observation sheet. Data were analyzed using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC). The AUC values of RTS was 0851, explained that RTS had a good discrimination value. RTS could be used in predicting the outcome of head injury patients.

Keywords
