Gallbladder disease is associated with a malfunctioning gallbladder and highly concentrated bile, leading to conditions such as the formation of gallstones or cholelithiasis. Cholelithiasis can occur due to high concentrations of cholesterol in the gallbladder. Obstruction of the cystic duct, either by stones or functional issues, can cause acute inflammation of the gallbladder. Acute cholecystitis attacks are often associated with gallstones, or cholelithiasis. Common symptoms include right upper quadrant or epigastric abdominal pain, especially after consuming fatty foods, with additional symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, fever, and diarrhea. The development of this disease is believed to involve many factors and likely arises from complex interactions between various genetic and environmental elements. An imbalance in bile composition, characterized by excessive cholesterol secretion, reduced gallbladder motility, and the accumulation of mucin gel, contributes to the formation of gallstones. Gallbladder disease related to cholesterol results from a biochemical imbalance involving lipids and bile salts in the bile stored in the gallbladder. A 45-year-old patient, Mrs. D, has several risk factors that increase the development of the disease, and the following case report discusses the clinical presentation and laboratory examination results related to the onset of this disease. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed on the patient, and appropriate education was provided, illustrating the importance of intra-professional collaboration and positive outcomes for the patient.

Honey is derived from plant nectar and pollen collected by bees. Honey contains natural sugars and nutrients but is prone to contamination by heavy metals such as mercury, copper, and cadmium from the environment. Honey quality standards stipulate maximum limits of contamination according to SNI 8664:2018. This study examined copper, mercury, and cadmium levels in native, cultivated, and branded honey using ICP-AES. Samples were randomly collected at the Laboratory of Pharmacy Faculty of University 17 August 1945 and metal levels were determined at the Regional Health Laboratory of DKI Jakarta Province from April-July 2024. Results showed all samples contained copper below the maximum limit of 5.0 mg/kg in the order of 0.243; 0.399; 0.297 mg/kg. Cadmium and mercury in the three honeys were undetected according to SNI's respective maximum limits of 0.2 and 0.03 mg/kg. Therefore, honeys of the three types met quality standards and are safe for consumption.    

Objective: We aimed to explore that the association of irisin with various anthropometric and metabolic parameters in obese diabetics and non-diabetics Iraqi women. Methods: Eighty obese Iraqi women participated in this cross-sectional study grouped into 40 obese and 40 obese diabetics. The correlation coefficient between circulating irisin levels and metabolic parameters were performed. Results: Serum irisin levels in obese group showed highly significant positive correlations with body weight, WC, BMI, FPG, fasting insulin (FI), HOMA-IR and glucagon (r=0.8684, P> 0.0001 ; r = 0.8104, P> 0.0001; r = 0.8285, P <0.0001; r = 0.5876, P> 0.0001‎; r = 0.5283, P> 0.0005‎; r = 0.0005, P <0.0001; r = 0.5244, P> 0.0005) respectively,  and significant negative correlation ‎with FPG, FI and HOMA-IR (r=-0.3246, P<0.041; r=-0.7903, P<0.0001; r=-0.6105, P<0.0001) respectively. Stepwise regression results showed that body weight, FPG, HOMA-IR and glucagon had significant independently related with irisin (β=‏2.3150, P<0.0001; β=-‎1.2200, P=‎0.0002; β=‎21.8760, P=0.02‎; β=‎-20.9800, P<‎0.005; β=‎0.0468, P=0.037) respectively. Conclusions: Irisin had a strong positive correlation with anthropometric parameters. Irisin independently associated with body weight, glucagon, HOMA-IR and FPG

Background: Breast milk is the first natural food for babies which contains vitamins, minerals and nutrients that babies need for growth in the first six months, and no other food or liquid is needed. Data on exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia in 2023 is around 73.9%, this figure still does not meet the national exclusive breastfeeding target of 80%.  Family support factors, including the husband, greatly determine success in breastfeeding, because family influence influences the mother's emotional state, which indirectly also influences breast milk production. Objective: to determine the relationship between husband's support and exclusive breastfeeding. Method: quantitative research using analytical survey methods with a cross sectional approach. Sampling using the Slovin formula obtained 31 respondents with the criteria of mothers who have babies aged 6-12 months. Results: The results of this research prove that there is a relationship between husband's support and exclusive breastfeeding based on the chi square test which shows an Asymp.Sig value of 0.000 which is smaller than 0.05. Conclusion: there is a relationship between husband's support and exclusive breastfeeding.    

Background: Cervical cancer is the most common cancer in Indonesia. Cancer has a high mortality rate caused by delays in diagnosis and treatment. Nearly 70% of cancer patients are detected at an advanced stage. This is very unfortunate, because cervical cancer can be found at a stage before cancer occurs (precancerous lesions) which can be treated so that it does not become cancer. The early detection program for cervical cancer in Indonesia is carried out using the Acetic Acid Visual Inspection (IVA) method carried out by trained health workers. In three years (2020-2022), as many as 3,914,885 women aged 30-50 years or 9.3% of the target have undergone early detection of cervical cancer using the IVA method. The highest early detection of targets has undergone early detection of cervical cancer using the IVA method. Early detection was reported by West Nusa Tenggara Province at 34.1%, followed by South Sumatra at 33.5%, and Bangka Belitung Islands at 27.8%. Meanwhile, the province with the lowest early detection coverage is Papua at 0.1%, followed by West Papua at 0.4%, and North Sulawesi at 0.7%. In 2022, of the 2,175,314 women aged 30-50 years who had early detection of cervical cancer, 7,869 (0.36%) had positive VIA examination results and 1,232 (0.06%) were suspected of cervical cancer.
