Previous research has shown that papaya seeds have an anthelmintic effect on Ascaridia galli, but this effect was observed using traditional methods, such as boiling the seeds in water. To determine the most effective extraction method, various techniques were tested, including maceration, soxhlet extraction, and ultrasonic digestion. The study used both wet and dry papaya seeds, with solvents such as water, 70% ethanol, and n-hexane. The anthelmintic activity was measured by the percentage of worm death, LD₅₀, and relative potential compared to pyrantel pamoate, a positive control. The results indicated that the maceration method using 70% ethanol as the solvent for wet papaya seeds was the most effective, killing 60% of the worms with an LD₅₀ of 9.36 mg and a relative potential of 0.66 times that of pyrantel pamoate.

The waiting time is one of the minimum standards for pharmaceutical services in hospitals, the waiting time for non-concocted drug services is the grace period from the time the patient submits the prescription to the time of receiving the non-concocted drug with the minimum standard set by the Ministry of Health, which is less than 30 minutes. The aim of this study is to determine the suitability of the waiting time for outpatient non-compound electronic prescription services at the Pharmacy Installation of Tasik Medika Citratama Hospital with the minimum standards stipulated in the Decree of the Minister of Health No. 129 of 2008 concerning Minimum Hospital Service Standards. This study is a prospective observational study using the Probability Sampling method by taking samples using quote sampling according to the inclusion criteria. The data taken were 260 non-compound electronic prescriptions. The average waiting time for non-compound electronic prescription services was 25.19 minutes. This meets the Minimum Hospital Service Standards according to the Decree of the Minister of Health No. 129 of 2008.

Determination of Salt Content in Salted Fish in Pangandaran Area Using Argentometric Titration Method

Salted fish is a traditional processed food widely consumed in Indonesia due to its affordability, availability, distinctive flavor, and long shelf life. However, despite its popularity, excessive salt used in preservation can lead to serious health issues such as hypertension, kidney problems, and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, monitoring the salt content in these foods is essential for public health and food safety. This study aims to determine the sodium chloride (NaCl) levels in three commonly consumed salted fish types jambal roti (Arius thalassinus), layang (Decapterus sp.), and layur (Trichiurus sp.), sold in traditional markets and local traders (UMKM) in Pangandaran. It also evaluates whether these products meet the Indonesian National Standard (SNI 8273 2016), which requires salt levels to be between 12% and 20%. The analysis used the Mohr argentometric titration method, with silver nitrate (AgNO3) as the titrant and potassium chromate (K2CrO4) as the indicator. Samples were prepared by grinding, hot water extraction, and titration to measure salt content. Results showed salt levels ranged from 0.514% to 2.17%, with the highest in jambal roti from UMKM I and the lowest in jambal roti from UMKM II. All samples had salt levels well below the minimum standard of the SNI. These findings suggest that while the products are safe regarding sodium chloride levels, the low salt content may imply inadequate preservation, which could affect product stability and shelf life without other preservation methods. Further research is recommended to assess microbial safety and storage quality of these products.

Pharmaceutical supplies play a vital role in hospital healthcare services, with nearly 50% of hospital revenue derived from pharmaceutical management. To enhance the selectivity and effectiveness of pharmaceutical procurement planning, an ABC analysis was conducted on inpatient drug utilization at Dr. Soekardjo Regional General Hospital in Tasikmalaya City. This study aims to categorize pharmaceutical items based on their contribution to total inventory value, allowing for more strategic and efficient planning in the procurement process. This research is a non-experimental descriptive study that utilizes hospital prescription data as the foundation for calculating pharmaceutical supply needs. The data were obtained from the hospital information system database and processed through computerized methods. The analysis focuses on inpatient drug usage over a specified period to identify high-cost and high-usage drugs that require priority in procurement and inventory control.

The results of the ABC analysis successfully illustrate the distribution of pharmaceutical usage in several dimensions: cost classification (Class A, B, and C), generic versus non-generic drugs, e-catalog versus non-e-catalog drugs, and therapeutic class. Class A drugs, which represent the highest cost yet the smallest number of items, are recommended to be prioritized in planning and closely monitored to prevent overstocking or shortages. Meanwhile, Class B and C drugs, although lower in value, require efficient stock management to support comprehensive hospital services. This study emphasizes the importance of utilizing ABC analysis as a decision-making tool to optimize pharmaceutical procurement strategies, reduce unnecessary expenditures, and ensure the availability of essential medicines. The findings can be used by hospital management to refine budgeting, procurement schedules, and stock control, ultimately improving the quality and efficiency of healthcare service delivery.
