P – value or sig value. (2-tailed) 0.000 which means less than p <0.05 using the Paired Simple T - Test Statistical Test which states that the hypothesis Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected, therefore there is a significant change between before and after the administration of murrotal therapy. So it can be concluded that there is an influence of murrotal therapy on anxiety levels in elderly people with hypertension.

Introduction: Rinolits are uncommon foreign bodies in the nose, which serve as a nidus for calcium salt deposition. Foreign bodies can be endogenous or exogenous in origin and can be asymptomatic for years before being discovered incidentally. If left untreated, stones can cause unilateral nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, epistaxis, or in rare cases, progressive damage leading to septal/palatal perforation or oro-antral fistula. Surgical stone removal is an effective intervention with rare reports of complications. Case Report: A case of rinolit in a 72-year-old woman with complaints of left nasal congestion since 2 months ago with thick, smelly snot in the past 2 weeks is reported. History of foreign entry was denied. On examination of the sinistra nasal cavity, it was found that the nasal cavity was narrow, the inferior concha was edematous, there was a yellowish mass between the inferior concha and the septum, the media concha was difficult to assess, septal deviation was present, sekret was present, mucoid. The management given was extraction using forceps under local anesthesia. Conclusion: Rinolit is an uncommon clinical etiology which if undiagnosed can lead to complications; thus it is important to consider for any unilateral nasal symptoms of unclear origin.      

Cholesterol is a fatty substance that circulates in the body which is produced by the liver and is very important for the body. Excessive cholesterol in the blood will first cause problems in the blood vessels and brain. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of giving dragon fruit juice on total cholesterol levels in the elderly at Posbindu Kebayoran Lama Utara, South Jakarta. The research method used a pre-experimental pre-post-test group design including administration of dragon fruit juice, analysis of measurements of total cholesterol levels before and after the intervention, and analysis of food cholesterol consumption. The Wilcoxon test results were chosen because the data did not meet the normality assumption. The p value resulting from the Wilcoxon test is 0.028, which is smaller than the significance level which is generally set at 0.05. This shows that the difference between total cholesterol levels before and after the intervention is statistically significant. The conclusion from the results of this research that has been carried out can be concluded that there is a significant difference between total cholesterol levels before and after the intervention (p<0.05).

Background: Hypertension is a cardiovascular disease that attacks many elderly people and increases the risk of death.
