Introduction: Isolated sphenoidal fungal sinusitis is a rare disease, representing 3% of all sinusitis cases. The disease usually occurs together with other paranasal sinus infections. Viral, bacterial, parasitic, and fungal infections can cause sinusitis. Fungal infection of the sphenoidal sinuses is rarely diagnosed, as it has no characteristic symptoms and is not much different from bacterial or other sinusitis infections. The diagnosis of fungal sphenoid sinusitis is based on history taking, physical examination, and supporting examination. The therapy aims to reduce sinus cavity inflammation, improve drainage, and overcome the pressure on the sinuses that cause painful symptoms. Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (ESS) is a surgical technique on the paranasal sinuses using an endoscope that aims to improve ventilation and mucociliary clearance of the sinuses.

Introduction: The widely used method for transformation was the heat shock method, which was influenced by the time and temperature of heat shock treatment. However, there was a lack of research on the optimal temperature for pGEM-T plasmid transformation in Escherichia coli JM109. This study uses the heat shock method to determine the optimum temperature and time for pGEM-T transformation in Escherichia coli JM109.

Introduction: Pregnancy is a physiological process, but if not managed properly it could become pathological. Telehealth is the use of information and telecommunications technology to support prenatal care. This study aimed to determine the factors related to maternal readiness at Telehealth Prenatal care in rural areas of Indonesia. Methods: This research method was a crossectional study. The respondents were 65 pregnant women in rural areas in Indonesia. Sampling was done with quota sampling. The variables of this study were the Readiness Factor and Readiness for Prenatal Telehealth. The data were analyzed using univariate data using frequency distribution and bivariate using the Chi-Square test.

Introduction: Nutritional status according to the height-to-age index was influenced by many factors, such as maternal or child factors. Now, the government’s nutrition program focuses on the problem of malnutrition in toddlers, especially stunting. The study aimed to determine the relationship between a history of early initiation breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding, complementary feeding, and nutrition education with the nutritional status of toddlers according to height-to-age index.

Introduction: Pathogenic bacteria of the genus Salmonella are one of the leading causes of foodborne disease. Salmonella sp. are pathogenic bacteria excreted through feces from the digestive tract of animals and humans. These bacteria can contaminate food of animal origin, both from animals to humans and humans to animals. This study aimed to determine the presence of Salmonella in Surabaya duck farms. Methods: The research samples were taken from 24 duck eggs and 24 cloacal swabs. The criteria for the egg samples taken were newly hatched eggs.

Introduction: The knowledge that persistent Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection is the main cause of cervical cancer has resulted in the development of prophylactic vaccines to prevent HPV infection and HPV assays that detect nucleic acids of the virus. Thus, effective protection is to provide HPV vaccination in young women (<12 years). Besides the child wanting to be vaccinated, the intention of the parents is also very important in deciding whether their girls are going to be vaccinated against HPV or not. The purpose of this study was to determine factors related to parents’ intention to vaccinate Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) for their daughters aged 11-12 years.

Introduction: Cancer is a disease caused by abnormal division and growth of body tissue cells, so these cells turn into cancer cells which are harmful to the body. One of the treatments for cancer patients is chemotherapy. The impact of chemotherapy in cancer patients on the psychological aspects of experiencing anxiety and disrupting sleep quality. This study aimed to determine the relationship between anxiety and sleep quality in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy at Dr. M. Djamil Central Public Hospital. Methods: The type of research used is an analytic survey using a cross-sectional study design. The sample was 90 respondents with the sampling technique is accidental sampling.

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is a wasting or consumption disease which causes metabolic changes in tuberculosis patients. The metabolic changes that can occur are decreased appetite, micronutrient malabsorption, and malnutrition. The purpose of this research was to determine the differences in the result of an oral combination of vitamins B1, B6, and B12 supplementations on Interferon Gamma (IFN-γ) levels and CD4+ T-cell counts in pulmonary tuberculosis patients receiving first-line Opioid Agonist Therapy (OAT) compared to only OAT therapy.

Introduction: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in Indonesia tends to increase. This MetS has an impact on increasing morbidity and mortality rates due to Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) such as coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, and diabetes mellitus (DM). Monitoring and controlling MetS is an important effort to be made in preventing the increase of NCDs. Simple and easy efforts include maintaining moderate activity in daily living and consuming soymilk while maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The purpose of the study was to analyze the effect of daily moderate-intensity activity and soymilk consumption on MetS parameters.
