Abstract : This study aimed to determine the various demographic and work-related professional characteristics associated with low back pain among nursing professionals in Najran, Saudi Arabia. A self administered modified questionnaire (electronic), which included information on general subject demographics and work conditions, was sent through various electronic channels to which 187 nurses working across various health institutions in the Najran region responded. Among the included respondents, 35.3% were Saudis, and 64.7% were Non-Saudis, and 88.8% were in the young to middle- age group (21– 40 years). Similarly, 57.8% were females, while a majority (91%) completed a bachelor’s degree. In total, 140 respondents (74.8%) reported experiencing low back pain. Among the various work-related factors, gender, place of work, nature of work, and direct contact hours with patients per week were found to be significantly associated with low back pain. Assessment of pain characteristics found that a majority (88.2%) had mild to moderate localized back pain. A significant number of nursing professionals included herein reported to have low back pain, which appeared to be moderated by work-related characteristics, including place and nature of work. Our findings can help to establish policies and interventions aimed at reducing the risk and onset of low back pain.

Abstract : Chemicals from laboratories represent a significant risk in cellular mediated hypersensitivity (CMH) and chemo-induced skin injury due to chemical agents present under human skin layers absorbed from the surface. This study aimed to determine the occupational and socio-demographic characteristics of the laboratory workers associated with CMH in multiple chemical exposures. This was a cross-sectional study on a population-based sample of Nigerian laboratory university workers. Data were collected using the erythema index meter. The study included 287 laboratory workers and the results showed that the number of positive with CMH was 176 (61.3%) with 99 (56.3%) of them were male with AOR 0.31 (95%CI: 0.12, 0.77; p=0.011). Dark-skinned participants with CMH had AOR 0.49 (95%CI: 0.21, 081; p=0.001). Most of the respondents have college education and have been exposed for 4-5hrs in the laboratory with AOR 2.42 (95%CI: 1.10, 5.38; p = 0.049) and 3.11 (95%CI: 1.77, 9.23; p =0.001) respectively. The use of personal protective equipment (PPE) was 60% less likely to be significantly induced with CMH with AOR 0.40 (95%CI: 0.22, 0.77; p=0.011). The Permissible exposure limit (PEL) of chemical was less but have an induced CMH with AOR 4.22 (95%CI: 2.88, 12.11; p =0.004). Conclusion: Results revealed that sex, skin color, working experience, educational level, PPE, PEL, and time of exposure were the probable predictive factors associated with the development of CMH. This study has shown that CMH was significantly associated with occupational and demographic factors. Better educational knowledge and attitude of hazards and safety in the laboratory would lead to a reduced rate of new cases.

Abstract : Local food-based Ready to Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) is a therapeutic food with local food sources of tempeh flour and pumpkin flour to improve the nutritional status of malnourished and deficient toddlers who have a composition of energy, protein, fat, vitamin A and iron. This study aims to determine the effect of local food-based RUTF crackers on the nutritional status of malnourished toddlers. Quasi Experiment research design with controlled pre-posttest design. The study population was all toddlers aged 13-60 months with malnutrition status. The sample was selected according to the criteria for each treatment and control group as many as 18 people (total 36 people). The intervention in the treatment group was giving RUTF crackers based on local food 50 grams per day and nutrition education. The control group was given 50 grams of PMT biscuits per day from the Puskesmas and nutrition education. Analysis using independent t-test and using the Mann-Whitney test’. There was an effect of giving RUTF crackers on the increase in z score of weight / height between the treatment group and the control group (p = 0.010). Giving RUTF crackers can increase body weight, so it is recommended that toddlers continue to consume balanced nutritional foods as needed because PMT is complementary not a substitute.

Abstract : Fermented Glutinous Black Rice contains compounds as antioxidants, called anthocyanin. The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not the effect of fermentation time on total anthocyanin levels and antioxidant activity. Different treatments, namely the time of fermentation, varied in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th days. Fermented Glutinous Black Rice extract was made using 1% methanol and HCl solvents. Then the samples were dried using the freeze dry method. The research was conducted to identify anthocyanins with colour reagents, test total anthocyanin levels using the differential pH method, and test antioxidant activity by looking at IC50 values. Based on the research, the highest total anthocyanin level was Fermented Glutinous Black Rice extract on the second day of 963,606 mg/100 g. The largest IC50 value is found in the extract of FermentedFermented Glutinous Black Rice on the second day at 46,313 μg/mL. Based on these results, it can be concluded that there is an effect of fermentation time on total antsoianin levels and antioxidant activity. The longer the fermentation time, the value of the total anthocyanin level and antioxidant activity decreases..

Abstract : Anthocyanin is a sub-type organic substance from the flavonoid, and is one example of natural- colored pigments. This substance can be found in food items such as Fermented Black Glutinous Rice. Aside from anthocyanin, previously studied Fermented Black Glutinous Rice samples also possess antioxidant activity that can be developed to prevent hyperlipidemia. However, the fermenting process on the black rice is known to affect the anthocyanin substance and the antioxidant activity contained within the black rice. This study is conducted to find out the specific effects caused by the yeast and its concentrations on the fermenting process. The results show that the yeast concentrations do affect the anthocyanin level and the antioxidant activity in the black rice. The anthocyanin level, after subjected to some pH differential tests, plummeted as the level of yeast concentrations went up. The highest anthocyanin level was obtained in the sample with 0.5% yeast concentration which was equal to 566,0226 mg / 100g. Likewise, the results of examination of antioxidant activity have decreased with increasing yeast concentration. The highest antioxidant activity was obtained at 0.5% yeast concentration. This is showed by the IC50 value of 81.9834 ppm which means the sample has strong antioxidant activity.
