Typhoid fever is an infectious disease caused by Salmonella typhi. Transmission can occur through air or food contaminated with the urine and feces of typhoid sufferers, such as air used for drinking, cooking, and washing food. Symptoms of typhoid fever include a prolonged high fever, defined as an elevated body temperature of >37.5°C. Other symptoms can include fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain, constipation or diarrhea, and headache. This study aimed to treat children with typhoid fever. The method used was a case study of a five-year-old child with typhoid fever who was hospitalized for four days. The results showed that the child had fever, obesity, and decreased appetite. The child's problem was hypothermia, while cooling interventions were used to manage hypothermia, and one of the cooling procedures performed was the application of aloe vera compresses. The evaluation results showed that the hyperthermia resolved after four days of hospitalization. Based on this study, it is hoped that patients and their families can independently apply aloe vera compresses to treat hypothermia in children.

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. The conclusion of this study is that there is a significant influence on the results of measuring body temperature before and after giving aloe vera compresses to children who have fever at  the nassau public health center,nasaau district,toba regency in 2024.

This research is a comprehensive midwifery care case study on Mrs. K from pregnancy to postpartum family planning conducted at the PMB Okta Saprina, S.Tr.Keb and Mrs. K's home from October-December 2023. The assessment during pregnancy found complaints of frequent urination which were addressed by counseling on reducing drinking at night. During labor, Mrs. K experienced severe pain on a scale of 8, which was reduced to moderate pain on a scale of 5 after being given lavender aromatherapy. Labor care stages I-IV were normal according to theory and without complications. The baby was born spontaneously, full-term, without complications. During the postpartum period, Mrs. K experienced breast engorgement which was treated with aloe vera compresses for 7 days until the complaint was resolved. Care for the newborn and postpartum period was according to standards. At 42 days postpartum, Mrs. K chose to use 3-month injectable contraception after being screened with the KLOP wheel. The management provided to Mrs. K was in accordance with evidence-based practice in providing comprehensive midwifery care, namely counseling for frequent urination, lavender aromatherapy for labor pain, and aloe vera compresses for breast engorgement with satisfactory results.

Education about the use of family medicinal plants (TOGA) currently really needs to be disseminated early to school students to increase knowledge as medicine and food. The aim of this community service is to increase students' understanding of using TOGA plants earlier, especially aloe vera which is used for first aid in burn wound management. This activity was carried out by presenting material and demonstrations with 30 high school students as respondents. The results of activities before the educational intervention were carried out were found to be an average (53.00) and after the educational intervention was given an average (80.00). So, from the results of the average points before and after being given burn wound management education based on aloe vera moist dressing, it was found that there was an increase in Senior High School students' knowledge and insight regarding burn wound management. Aloevera contains sterols including campesterol, β-sitosterol, and cholesterol which can reduce inflammation, help in reducing pain and act as a natural analgesic. Aloevera Moist Dressing for burn wound management can be used as an alternative for treating burns at home independently, because it is quite easy to use and the aloevera ingredient is easy to find.

This Community Service activity aims to optimize the use of environmentally friendly agricultural products in the home industry for processing aloe vera into nata de aloevera. The agricultural products used are rice straw waste and bagasse which are processed into biodegradable raw materials. The experiment was carried out using a completely randomized design (CRD) with three treatments namely A (50% waste rice straw + 50% bagasse), B (75% waste rice straw + 25% bagasse), and C (25% waste rice straw + 75% bagasse). Measurements were made of the parameters pH, total acid, water content, protein content, and organoleptic nata de aloevera. The results showed that treatment A gave the best results in terms of pH, total acid, and protein content. Meanwhile, C treatment gave the best results on water content and organoleptic. It is hoped that the results of this research can provide alternatives to the use of environmentally friendly raw materials in the home industry for processing aloe vera into nata de aloevera and can meet consumer needs for healthy and safe food products..  Keywords: Biodegradable agricultural products, Home industry, Aloe vera processing, Nata de aloevera, Green technology, Green technology   Abstrak_Indo. Kegiatan Pengabdian pada Masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk mengoptimalkan pemanfaatan produk pertanian yang ramah lingkungan pada home industry pengolahan aloe vera menjadi nata de aloevera. Produk pertanian yang digunakan adalah limbah jerami padi dan ampas tebu yang diolah menjadi bahan baku biodegradable. Percobaan dilakukan dengan menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) dengan tiga perlakuan yaitu A (50% limbah jerami padi + 50% ampas tebu), B (75% limbah jerami padi + 25% ampas tebu), dan C (25% limbah jerami padi + 75% ampas tebu). Pengukuran dilakukan terhadap parameter pH, total asam, kadar air, kadar protein, dan organoleptik nata de aloevera. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan A memberikan hasil terbaik pada parameter pH, total asam, dan kadar protein. Sementara itu, perlakuan C memberikan hasil terbaik pada kadar air dan organoleptik. Diharapkan hasil dari penelitian ini dapat memberikan alternatif pemanfaatan bahan baku yang ramah lingkungan dalam home industry pengolahan aloe vera menjadi nata de aloevera serta dapat memenuhi kebutuhan konsumen pada produk makanan yang sehat dan aman.
