This study was conducted to determine the antimicrobial effectiveness of chemical compounds from the water fraction of leunca fruit. Leunca fruit extract was obtained by maceration, then the results of maceration were evaporated and then fractionated. Antimicrobial activity testing was carried out using the agar diffusion method against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Candida albicans ATCC 01231. The concentration variations of leunca fruit water fraction used were 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%. The results of the antimicrobial activity test of leunca fruit water fraction compounds obtained the average inhibition diameter of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 microbes respectively 7.5 mm; 8.3 mm; 8.8 mm; 9.5 mm; and 10.4 mm. On the microbe Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 consecutively 7.8 mm; 8.1 mm; 9.3 mm; 10 mm; and 11.4 mm. while on the microbe Candida albicans ATCC 01231 the diameter of the bland chemical compound of leunca fruit water fraction is only found in the 50% concentration variation with an average inhibition diameter of 9.1 mm. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that the water fraction of leunca fruit (Solanum Nigrum L.) has activity as an antimicrobial against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Candida albicans ATCC 01231 with the largest inhibition zone diameter shown in the 50% concentration variation.

Background: Most hypertensive patients do not exhibit symptoms, although some symptoms occur unintentionally and are believed to be related to hypertension. This results in an increase in blood pressure with advancing age. Aging causes physiological changes in the body, such as the thickening of arterial walls due to the accumulation of collagen in the muscle layer, leading to the narrowing and stiffening of blood vessels starting at the age of 45 years. Objective: Aims to determine the results of implementing Isometric handgrip exercise in elderly hypertension patients. Method: A descriptive research design with a case study approach was conducted on two respondents. Results: Before the implementation of Isometric handgrip exercise, both respondents were at moderate risk of hypertension, however after performing the Isometric handgrip exercise with two contractions lasting 45 seconds each and a 15-second rest between the contractions, their blood pressure decreased. Conclusion: Isometric handgrip exercise shows a good influence on elderly hypertension patients.

Background: The prevalence of fractures in Indonesia is quite high, namely the incidence of fractures in the lower extremities is 46.2%. The habit of patients with extremity fractures does not mobilize, causing a negative impact on muscle and joint strength, namely physical mobilization barriers and followed by muscle atrophy. One of the efforts to improve muscle and joint strength is to do Range Of Motion independently. Objective: To determine the application of active Range Of Motion to muscle and joint strength in post op patients with extremity fractures in the operating room of RSUD Pandan Arang Boyolali. Method: This application is descriptive in the form of a case study conducted on 2 respondents using the standard operating procedure Range of Motion and the MMT (Manual Muscle Testing) observation sheet. Findings:  Before and after the application of active Range Of Motion, recovery of muscle and joint strength was obtained in the two respondents, Mrs. R from the value of bad muscle and joint strength to good and Mrs. S of the value of muscle and joint strength is slightly worse.
