The transmission of head lice can occur from sharing accessories and not maintaining personal hygiene. Islamic boarding schools are places where several people gather to live in the same location, allowing for the shared use of items, which contributes to the spread of head lice infestation. The aim of this study is to understand the profile of head lice infestation among students living in the boarding school. The method of this study is descriptive, with a sample size of 19 students taken using total sampling technique. The results of this study found one egg that had hatched, and no nymphs or adult lice were found. The conclusion of this study is that 94,7% (18) of the students at Raudhatul Jannah boarding school in Palangka Raya do not have head lice. not infected with head lice, meanwhile 5.3%.

One method for diagnosing UTI is by conducting a urine sediment examination. The purpose of this study is to identify the elements found in the urine sediment of UTI patients and the number of UTI patients at RSI PKU Muhammadiyah Palangka Raya in the year 2025. The method used in this study is a quantitative descriptive method. The sample consisted of 96 individuals, selected using purposive sampling technique, and the sample size was determined using the Slovin formula. The results of this study showed urine sediment findings as follows: leukocytes &gt;4/HPF in 57 individuals (59.3%), erythrocytes &gt;3/HPF in 45 individuals (40.7%), positive squamous epithelial cells in 96 individuals (100%), positive casts in 4 individuals (4%), positive crystals in 7 individuals (7.3%), positive fungi in 10 individuals (10%), and positive bacteria in 70 individuals (73%). Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that most respondents experienced urinary sediment abnormalities, characterized by the findings of squamous epithelium in all respondents (100%), bacteria in 73%, leukocytes &gt; 4 / LPK in 59.3%, and erythrocytes &gt; 3 / LPK in 40.7%. In addition, the presence of fungi (10%), crystals (7.3%), and cylinders (4%) were also found, which overall indicate the possibility of urinary tract infection or disorders of the urinary system. </em></p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> Satrio Julian Saputra Fera Sartika Copyright (c) 2025 Satrio Julian Saputra , Fera Sartika https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2025-12-17 2025-12-17 1 02 10.33084/barigas.v1i02.11831 Gambaran Pemeriksaan Protein Urine Pada Ibu Hamil Di Uptd Puskesmas Kayon Kota Palangka Raya Periode Januari – April Tahun 2025 https://journal.umpr.ac.id/index.php/barigas/article/view/11826 <p>Pregnancy is a physiological process that is vulnerable to various complications, one of which is preeclampsia, characterized by hypertension and proteinuria. Urine protein testing is an important method for the early detection of preeclampsia in pregnant women. This study aims to describe the results of urine protein tests among pregnant women at the UPTD Kayon Health Center, Palangka Raya City, during the period from January to April 2025. A descriptive research method was used with a total sampling approach, involving 47 pregnant women who underwent laboratory examinations. The results showed that 29 women (61.7%) had negative proteinuria results, 16 women (34%) had a result of +1, and 2 women (4.3%) had a result of +2. No test results showed +3 or +4 proteinuria levels. The study concludes that most of the pregnant women had normal blood pressure and normal urine protein levels</p> Mochamad Rezani Fahrin Fera Sartika Copyright (c) 2025 Mochamad Rezani Fahrin, Fera Sartika https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2025-12-17 2025-12-17 1 02 10.33084/barigas.v1i02.11826 Uji Stabilitas Pooled Sera Yang Disimpan Di Freezer Dan Refrigerator Pada Pemeriksaan Kolesterol https://journal.umpr.ac.id/index.php/barigas/article/view/11822 <p><em>analytes during sample storage. Samples are usually stored in the refrigerator (4 - 8°C) for short periods or in the freezer (-20°C) for longer periods. One of the reasons for the decrease in the stability of lyophilized universal control serum is the presence of a non-standard freezer in the laboratory, with an ideal temperature of -15°C. This study aimed to determine the effect of storing pooled sera as a substitute for commercial control materials which were stored in the freezer at around -15°C and in the refrigerator at around 4°C for 1 month with the test parameter, namely cholesterol. This study used an observational method without any treatment of the research variables. The samples in this study were pooled sera which were stored in the freezer and refrigerator at 0 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, and 4 weeks based on the parameters for measuring cholesterol levels. The results showed that the average cholesterol level from Pooled Sera stored in the freezer was 157.75 mg/dL with a CV value of 3.0, and the average cholesterol level stored in the refrigerator was 152.75 mg/dL with a CV value of 2.1. The permissible CV value for cholesterol content is 6%, so that it can be concluded that the storage of pooled sera in the freezer and refrigerator on cholesterol parameters is still stable at 1 month of storage</em></p> Muhammad Aziz Wicaksono Dwi Pubayanti Windya Nazmatur R Copyright (c) 2025 Muhammad Aziz Wicaksono, Dwi Pubayanti, Windya Nazmatur R https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2025-12-17 2025-12-17 1 02 10.33084/barigas.v1i02.11822 Gambaran Morfologi Eritrosit Menggunakan Pewarnaan Giemsa 5% Dan Wright Dengan Pembilasan Air Keran Dan Buffer Phosphate Ph 7,2 https://journal.umpr.ac.id/index.php/barigas/article/view/11830 <table> <tbody> <tr> <td> <p><em>The solution for staining rinses in peripheral blood smear preparations (SADT) is very important especially with regard to pH. A rinse solution that is too acidic can cause decolorization of the SADT. WHO recommends rinsing solutions using phosphate buffers, especially pH 7.2. This study aims to determine the picture of erythrocytes using 5% Giemsa staining and Wright by rinsing using tap water and phosphate buffer pH 7.2. The method used is a descriptive method with a sample in the form of EDTA blood from 2 (two) Thalassemia patients and 5 (five) people from D III Medical Laboratory Technology students, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Muhammadiyah Palangkaraya. Each of the samples was then given 4 (four) treatments, namely Giemsa staining with tap water rinsing and phosphate buffer pH 7.2 and Wright staining with tap water rinsing and phosphate buffer pH 7.2. A total of 28 slides of edge blood swab preparations were obtained which were then microscopically examined to determine the picture of erythrocytes. </em><em>In both normal and pathological samples, erythrocytes appeared pink with a clear centralpallor on Giemsa staining of 5% and more contrast on Wright. The background of the observation is lighter when rinsed with tap water, while it is cleaner although slightly dark when rinsed with a pH phosphate buffer of 7.2. Overall, Giemsa's 5% and Wright stains were both usable for erythrocyte observations, and erythrocyte stains were not significantly affected by tap water flushing despite their acidic pH (5.0).</em></p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> Rizki Anandra Dwi Purbayanti Copyright (c) 2025 Rizki Anandra, Dwi Purbayanti https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2025-12-17 2025-12-17 1 02 10.33084/barigas.v1i02.11830
