Fresh vegetables can be a source of transmission of worm infections to humans. The behavior of washing fresh vegetables that are not good by housewives and sellers of fresh vegetables in food stalls becomes large in transmitting worm infections if there are worm eggs that are still attached to fresh vegetables. The most common contamination found in fresh vegetables were eggs of the intestinal nematode Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH) as well as non-STH and trematodes. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between sanitation hygiene and contamination of non-STH worm eggs in fresh vegetables at food stalls in Semarang City. This type of research is an observational study with a cross sectional approach. Based on the results of laboratory tests, from a total of 165 samples examined, eggs of non-STH worms with species of Fasciola sp and Toxocara sp were found in 45 food stalls selling fresh vegetables. Based on bivariate analysis, there was no significant relationship between personal hygiene (p = 0.071) and environmental sanitation (p = 0.334) on contamination of non-STH worm eggs in fresh vegetables in food stalls in Pedurungan District, Semarang.

Uncontrolled Diabetes Mellitus will lead to long-term complications, namely decreased organ function, especially the kidneys, nerves, eyes, blood vessels and heart. Diabetic nephropathy is a complication that is often found in DM patients and attacks the kidneys. Serum creatinine examination is used to assess kidney function in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. This purpose of research is to describe the description of serum creatinine levels in inpatients diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus at Dr. Kariadi Semarang.

Mann Whitney test results found that the significant value was p = 0.240. The p value obtained is p>0.05. The results can be concluded that there is no difference in examination of triglyceride levels using serum and plasma EDTA.

Blood donation is an activity to donate blood for transfusion purposes. The number of voluntary blood donors in Indonesia is around 20% of the total production of blood bags per year, the rest is met from replacement donors. People are generally reluctant to donate blood because of fear of pain when blood is drawn using a syringe, fear of running out of blood, resulting in anemia, contracting the disease through blood donors, feeling unwell to donate blood and feeling that it is enough to only donate blood once. This is a factor that causes the limited number of donors due to limited knowledge. Research Objectives: To see an overview of the level of knowledge about blood donors in the community of donors at Pekalongan City. Methods: The type of research used is descriptive quantitative with a cross sectional approach with a questionnaire to determine the level of knowledge of the donor community. Results: Most of the blood donors at the Pekalongan City are Male 73 respondents (73%), the highest percentage aged 17-30 years as many as 54 respondents (54%), high school education, namely as many as 49 respondents (49%).

There were 16 subjects who had normal uric acid levels (53%) and 14 subjects had uric acid levels above normal (47%). Uric acid levels above normal in the age group 50-60 years were 33.3%, in the age 40-49 years 10%, in the age 30-39 years 3.3%. Subjects who sit for a < 8 hours/day were 63,3%, while who sit for > 8 hours / day were 36,7%. Subjects who had above normal uric acid levels while sitting > 8 hour/day were 16.7%, while those sitting < 8 hours/day were 30%. Subjects with a history of hyperuricemia were 30%, and consumed high purine foods more than 5 times/week were 20%. Conclusion is 53% of factory workers who make sewing clothes have normal uric acid levels and 47% above normal levels.

Pneumatic tube system (PTS) is a sample transport medium that is widely used in hospitals. Samples sent using PTS may be shaken due to the varying speed and air pressure in the PTS. The use of PTS can affect the examination of platelet counts and potassium levels. The installation of PTS at the Gadjah Mada University Academic Hospital was carried out in May 2020 in the Yudistira, Arjuna, Kresna and Nakula buildings. Delivery of laboratory samples at RSA UGM every day can be done from buildings with different distances. Every hospital that uses PTS is advised to validate PTS and investigate blood specimens for the possibility of hemolysis and laboratory results. The purpose of this study was to validate the PTS distance as a transport medium for laboratory examinations. This research is an experimental research which is a follow-up study using 30 samples. Samples were taken twice and sent with the PTS from two different distances, namely YD 2 and IGD. The statistical test will use a paired sample t-test. The data will be analyzed with the help of Prima Graph 8 Statistical Software with a significance level of 5%. The results of the analysis showed that there was no difference in the results of the examination of platelets and potassium sent from YD 2 or from the ER.

Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases that occur due to abnormalities in insulin secretion and/or insulin action. In type 2 diabetes mellitus there is a decrease in glucose absorption by the body due to insulin resistance. Energy metabolism from glucose is processed through the synthesis of fatty acids in the liver (cytosol). The process that occurs continuously causes the accumulation of lipids in the liver or "fatty liver" so it is necessary to check the levels of transaminase enzymes which include SGOT and SGPT. The purpose of this study was to analyze the levels of SGOT and SGPT enzymes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus using the analytical observational method. The results of the examination of SGOT and SGPT levels from 30 patients who were taken randomly at Dr. Soetomo Surabaya will be analyzed with bar graphs and diagrams. Of 30 random samples, 20 samples (66.67%) had SGOT levels above the normal value, and 12 samples (40%) had SGPT with results above normal values. This study concludes that there is an increase in the levels of SGOT and SGPT enzymes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

One tangible manifestation of the provision of public services in the health sector is the Blood Transfusion Unit (UTD) which provides blood services. Blood Transfusion Services are health service efforts that include planning, mobilizing and preserving blood donors, supplying blood, distributing blood, and providing medical treatment to patients for the purpose of healing illness and restoring health. The Indonesian Red Cross, hereinafter abbreviated as PMI, is a social organization whose main tasks and functions are in the field of kepalangmerahan based on statutory provisions. Efforts to meet the availability of blood for the needs of health services so far have been made by PMI through UTD spread throughout Indonesia based on assignments by the Government In chapter II article 2 paragraph 1 PMK Number 83 of 2014 concerning blood transfusion units, hospital blood banks, and service networks blood transfusion is stated that: UTD is only held by the Government, Regional Government, or PMI. This research is a type of descriptive quantitative research. The approach used is cross sectional. The average blood service time at PMI Kuningan Regency in 2020 is 1 hour and can be completed in a minimum time of 35 minutes and a maximum of 3 hours 57 minutes. The stages that contribute to the length of blood service time are in the post-analytic stage and factors that influence the service time in the Kuningan Regency PMI laboratory, namely, the number of officers, length of service and facilities.
