Background The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the number of fever cases in children reaches 62%. Management of fever can be in the form of non-pharmacological therapy. One non-pharmacological therapy for fever is to apply a compress using aloe vera. Aloe vera contains lignin and saponin which can vasodilate the skin and reduce body temperature. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of information and actions on giving aloe vera compresses on reducing body temperature in children with fever at the Nassau Kec.Nassau Kab.Toba Tahun 2024. This research is a type of quantitative research with a quasi-experimental research design with a pre-test and post-test design without control with subjects of 30 children aged 3 – 6 years who had a fever at the nassau public health center,nasaau district,toba regency in 2024. Community Health Center. The sampling technique in this research is total sampling, namely a sampling technique when all members of the population are used as samples. The intervention carried out was applying compressaloe vera to the forehead for 15 minutes. Temperature measurement using a digital thermometer. The data analysis used is univariate and bivariate analysis. The test used is the non-parametric Wilcoxon test. The results of this research, namely the results of statistical tests using the Wilcoxon test stated that giving aloe vera compresses had an effect on changes in body temperature in fever sufferers with a p value = 0.002 (α < 0.005) with a temperature decrease of 0.486 ºC.

Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease induced by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis and can attack human organs, especially the lungs. The entry of this antigen causes the release of various pro-inflammatory cytokines which cause liver cells to synthesize acute phase proteins such as C-Reactive Protein (CRP). C-Reactive Protein is a type of alpha globulin protein that appears in the blood in response to inflammation in the body. The aim of this study was to determine the description of CRP in pulmonary tuberculosis patients at the Naibonat Community Health Center. The method used is descriptive with a cross sectional study design method. This research was carried out at the Naibonat Health Center Laboratory, Kupang Regency from February to April 2024. The examination method used was the qualitative latex agglutination method. The results of CRP examination on pulmonary TB patients from a total of 23 respondents obtained reactive results for 8 samples (35%) and non-reactive results for 15 samples (65%). Based on the results of reactive CRP, the highest number was found in males, 6 people (26%), while the highest number was found in the age range 12-25 years, 4 patients (Teenagers) (17%), with the highest length of treatment at 0 -2 months (intensive stage) as many as 6 patients (35%), with the highest patient status being new TB as many as 8 patients (35%), with the highest treatment status being non-resistant as many as 6 patients (26%).

Background: Spinal anesthesia is anesthesia performed on patients who are still conscious with the aim of eliminating the conductivity process at the sensory nerve endings or fibers in certain parts of the body.
