Authors: Rahmawati Dewi Lestari , Ramadhan Yanuar , Banun Agusdini
Published: October 2022

Hospitals as a place for health services can be dangerous and high-risk places for work safety. Work accidents are generally caused by two main things, namely unsafe behavior, and unsafe conditions, it is estimated that work accidents occur due to unsafe work behavior. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of Competence, Workload, and OHS Promotion on the safety behavior of health workers at X Karawang Hospital. The research method used is causal associative research with quantitative techniques using a cross-sectional approach. The research population amounted to 417 people. Samples were taken using a purposive random sampling technique and obtained 179 samples of health workers. The results showed that Competence, Workload, OHS Promotion can affect the safety behavior of health workers. The conclusion of the study shows that Competence, Workload, OHS Promotion together can significantly affect the safety behavior of health workers, partially competence and health promotion variables have a significant effect on safety behavior, while the workload variable does not affect safety behavior. The implications of the research are expected to be input for the OHS committee and management on achieving zero accidents by ensuring all levels of management and all employees follow the OHS policy without exception, providing adequate facilities and resources so that health and safety policies can be implemented properly including regular OHS training, evaluation of implementation, reward and punishment.

Corrosion prevention has been one of the major concerns these days various methods have been adopted for corrosion prevention. However, the use of corrosion inhibitors has proven to be the easiest and cheapest method for corrosion prevention. But then most of the conventional inhibitors are expensive and toxic. Therefore the recent focus has been turned to developing non-toxic and cheap corrosion inhibitors. To achieve that a Polyacrylic acid was successfully grafted on chitosan by the thermal method using a reflux condenser. This copolymer was characterized by FTIR, TGA, and XPS. The corrosion inhibition performance of the grafted polymer was tested on mild steel in 0.5 M HCl under different conditions by gravimetric method. Mild steel coupon was analyzed using SEM to understand the effect of the inhibitor on the mild steel corrosion. The results were subjected to various adsorption isotherm models to understand the corrosion mechanism. The weight loss results show high inhibition efficiency of 86.50432 % for 24 hrs. Immersion time at 300 °C conditions. Data best fitted with Langmuir adsorption model with a good correlation coefficient of 0.9933.

Authors: Abdulmunem Mohammed Majid
Published: October 2022

Aims: There is a controversy regarding the indication of implant insertion into the sockets of infected teeth. This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of immediate implants replacing periapically infected teeth utilizing Resonance Frequency Analysis (RFA) method.

Materials and Methods: Preoperatively, clinical, and radiographic examination accomplished for the patients. After anesthetizing the surgical area, the accused tooth extracted, and the socket curetted by surgical curette to remove the periapical lesion then irrigated by normal saline solution.  The implant inserted into its prepared site. Beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) (combined by collagen membrane) used to fill gaps ≥ 2 mm and to repair bone defects. Implant stability quotient (ISQ) values were measured for the implants during surgery and after 16 weeks. Postoperative clinical and radiographic evaluation were conducted for each patient.

Results: Fourteen implants out of 41 immediate implants (34.1%) had been inserted in the extraction sockets of teeth have chronic periapical lesions (infected sites), T-test showed no significant difference in implant stability (ISQ value) between implant placed in infected and non-infected sites neither at baseline nor at 16-weeks. Paired t-test showed highly significant increase in implant stability (ISQ value) of implants placed in infected sites while in the other implants the mean ISQ value increased with no significant difference during the healing period. The success rate was 100% after 4 years of implantation.

Conclusions: Presence of periapical lesion is not a contraindication to place immediate implant when properly managed and can provide similar survival rate to that of implants inserted into healthy sockets.

Published: October 2022

The research aimed to assess the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions on access to ante-natal and post-natal care services by women of childbearing age in Harare, Zimbabwe. The study used a crosssectional explanatory research design to assess the effects of lockdown restrictions on access to ante-natal and post-natal care services by women of childbearing age in Harare, Zimbabwe. A multi-stage cluster sampling was used to select the study respondents, who were women of childbearing age. The researcher used the structured questionnaire to electronically elicit data from a sample of 384 women of childbearing age in Harare between December 2021 and January 2022. Data were analyzed using a Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS). Descriptive statistics were used to determine the proportion of women who accessed ante-natal and post-natal care services during the COVID-19 lockdown period. Furthermore, inferential statistical analysis was used to assess the level of satisfaction, comfortability, and accessibility of the ante-natal and post-natal care services by women of childbearing age. Data analysis revealed that the COVID-19 lockdowns greatly affected access to ante-natal and post-natal care services during the coronavirus pandemic. The results revealed decreased levels of satisfaction and “comfortability” with the ante-natal and post-natal care services women were receiving as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. These results showed that there is a need for the government to offer resources such as more health workers, equipment to support mobile clinic services and to provide suitable personal protective equipment to the health workers during pandemics. This will ensure that access to ante-natal and postnatal care services are not disrupted during future pandemics.

Published: October 2022

The prostate gland is the main male accessory gland as it secretes fluid that nourishes and protects sperm. With age, the prostate can enlarge. As it surrounds part of the urethra, the enlarged prostate can squeeze the tube. This and some other pathologies of the prostate can cause different problems like urinary retention, impaired kidney feature, recurrent urinary tract infections, gross hematuria, and bladder calculi. This was a descriptive study with a sample size of 200 patients, performed at Gillani Ultrasound Center Lahore and The University Ultrasound Clinic Green Town Lahore from July till November 2021. Individuals of all ages above 23 years of age were diagnosed with all pathologies of the prostate. The patients with UTI, cystitis or bladder stone were not considered in this research. Transabdominal sonography was performed with the convex transducer of 3.5 - 5 MHz frequency. In this descriptive study, the total sample size of the study was 200 from which BPH was found in 142 Patients 71%, BPH with prostatic cyst was in 6 patients 3%, Prostatic calcification was in 14 patients 7%, BPH with prostatic calcification was in 11 patients 5.5%, Prostatic cancer was in 1 patient 0.5% and the prostatic cyst was in 26 patients that are 13% of the sample size. Ultrasound has been proven to diagnose early prostatic enlargement and other prostate-related pathologies, our study concluded that BPH is the most common pathology ranging between 50 to 60 years, and prostatic cyst and calcification were common in ages 23 to 35.

Authors: Islam Mohammad Mohinul , Sultana Arifa , Hossain Md. Zahid , Jahan Sharmila
Published: October 2022

Introduction: Health-related Quality of Life (HRQOL)refers to a set of characteristics that may have an effect on health because they are related with an increased risk of chronic diseases related to low levels of physical activity. HRQOL is especially appropriate to conditions that are continuing and disabling such as cerebral palsy (CP). This study aims to determine the quality of life of children with cerebral palsy. 

Methods: Cross sectional prospective survey under a quantitative study design was conducted for six months. Data was collected from the outdoor and indoor Paediatric physiotherapy unit of the Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralysed (CRP), Bangladesh. 100 cerebral palsy children were taken as the sample based on eligibility criteria, LAQ-CP questionnaire was used to assesses the effect of disability in children with CP and their families. 

Results: From the analysis, found that cerebral palsy most commonly limits the schooling of the cerebral palsy child. Also, it limits the ability of mobility, physical independence, and social integration. Besides it causes economic and clinical burden for the family members of the child with CP. Overall, the QOL severely affected 40% (n=40) cerebral palsy children, moderately 29% (n=29), mildly 20%(n=20) children. Only 11% (n=11) was found with good QOL in this study. 

Conclusion: HRQOL is pointedly affected in most of the children suffering from cerebral palsy. Measurement of HRQOL should be include with other type of assessment, to specify the areas in which a patient is most suffering and help the expert in making suitable decisions for patient management. The present finding indicates that cerebral palsy has a negative impact on health status and quality of life of children with cerebral palsy, as reported by the respondent parent.

Background and Objectives: Medulloblastoma are a highly malignant tumor of the central nervous system, very frequent in the childhood, but remains rare in adulthood. This study aims to analyze the frequency, clinical and therapeutic aspects of adults medulloblastomas.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data from the record of adult’s patients treated for medulloblastoma between between January 2000 and December 2015 in in the Radiation oncology department of the Ibn Rochd University Hospital Center.

Results: The average age was 27,96 years (Range: 20-53 years). The sex ratio M/F was 4 with a clear male predominance. The most common symptom was intracranial hypertension, which was present in 22 patients, followed by headaches and cerebellar syndrome which were present in 9 patients. The tumor was mostly located in the cerebellar hemispheres with an average size of 5,75 cm. One patient had pulmonary metastasis at the time of diagnosis.

Twenty-four patients had a surgical resection. Complete resection was performed in 13 patients. Thus, twenty-one patients have received craniospinal irradiation with a dose of 36 Gy followed by a boost in the posterior fossa with a total dose of 54-56 Gy. Twelve patients have received Chemotherapy. Six patients are still alive. Survival rates were 50% at 3 years, 35% at 5 years, and 30% at 10 years.

Conclusion: Medulloblastoma is a devastating disease with a bad prognosis. The clinical presentation is variable and the management is multidisciplinary. Radiotherapy treatment with or without Chemotherapy play an important role in the control of the disease and recurrences avoidance. Our study illustrates the importance of treatment by radiation.

Published: October 2022

Introduction: As life expectancy increases, so does the incidence of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Low expression of p53 may lead to reduced production and deposition of elastin in the extracellular matrix thus it may increase the risk for POP. This study aims to determine the relationship between p53 expression and the incidence of grade III-IV POP.

Methods: This observational case-control study involved women with grade III-IV POP that underwent a total hysterectomy at Sanglah General Hospital Denpasar as the case group. The control group was non-prolapsed women who were matched to the case for the variables of age, parity, body mass index (BMI), and occupation to minimize bias. The p53 expression was grouped into low (<146.90) and high (≥146.90) expressions according to the optimal cut-off value obtained from the receiver operating characteristic curve. Bivariate analysis between p53 expression and risk of POP was performed using the Chi-square test.

Results: A total of 44 patients were included in this study with 22 patients with grade III-IV POP and 22 patients without POP. There were no significant differences in age, parity, BMI, and occupation between the two groups. Low p53 expression increased the risk of stage III-IV uterine prolapse by 20.25 times higher (OR = 20.25; 95% CI = 4.375-93.722; p = 0.000).

Conclusion: The low p53 expression in the sacrouterine ligament is a significant risk factor for grade III and IV POP.

Background: Globally, women and their unborn babies continue to die from preventable causes. This study aims to highlight the causes of maternal and perinatal deaths and bring to the fore areas that need to be improved in order to improve maternal and perinatal health indices in Gombe State.
Methodology: Information for this report was obtained from Maternal and Perinatal Deaths Surveillance and Response (MPDSR) desk officers and chairmen across MPDSR supported health facilities in the state. Secondary data abstraction from registers was conducted using an electronic questionnaire and was analysed using SPSS version 23.
Findings: The Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) was 1,092/100,000 livebirths in 2019 and 993/100,000 live births in 2020. Majority of the women (84.3% and 86.7% in 2019 and 2020 respectively) were severely ill at presentation, while most maternal deaths were as a result of eclampsia/pre-eclampsia and Post Partum Haemorrhage (PPH). Only 15.9% and 14.4% of maternal deaths in 2019 and 2020 respectively were reviewed. Perinatal asphyxia accounted for 36.4% and 31.8% of perinatal deaths in 2019 and 2020 respectively, while prematurity resulted in 24.7% and 35.6% of deaths in 2019 and 2020 respectively. The Perinatal Mortality Rates (PMR) were 78.3/1000 births in 2019 and 76.1/1000 births in 2020.
Conclusion: Although MMR and PMR have been on a decline in Gombe state from 2018 till date, these figures are still far from achieving the SDG 2030 target. There is therefore the need to revive MPDSR activities in the state and improve emergency obstetric health care services.
A Population-Based Analysis of Treatment, Survival, and Demographics in Otologic Malignancies
Authors: Gore Mitchell R.
Published: October 2022

Introduction: Otologic (external ear, middle ear, and temporal bone) malignancies are relatively uncommon tumors. Their location adjacent to vital structures such as the carotid artery, jugular vein, otic capsule, and temporal lobe makes treatment potentially challenging. 

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine overall survival outcomes in patients with otologic malignancies obtained via a population-based cancer database.

Methods: A search of the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was used to identify patients treated for external ear, middle ear, and temporal bone malignancies from 1973-2018. Demographic and overall survival data were compiled and analyzed using Kaplan-Meier and logistic regression analysis.

Results: The SEER database identified 9317 patients with otologic malignancies. Multivariate analysis of the SEER data showed that age, race, sex, subsite, histopathological type, overall stage, T, N, and M stage, and treatment type significantly affected overall survival.

Conclusion: This study examined data on demographics, treatment, and survival of patients with otologic malignancies utilizing the population-based SEER database. Overall stage and T, N, and M stages, patient age, sex, race, treatment type, and histopathological type all appear to significantly impact overall survival. Patients treated with surgery as part of their treatment regimen appeared to have higher 5-year overall survival than patients treated nonsurgically.

Published: October 2022

Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMN) are rarely seen. They are incidentally detected during an appendectomy for appendicitis. Treatment is appendectomy in low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms. Those having adverse features based on the appendix, lymph node metastasis, and tumour size greater than 2 cm, appendectomy with hemicolectomy is done. We present a rare case report of appendiceal neoplasm diagnosed with low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) managed by appendectomy with right hemicolectomy.
The Predicaments of Childless Women in Nigerian Fiction: A Womanist Reading of Flora Nwapa’s One Is Enough and Lola Shoneyin’s The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives
Authors: Gbaguidi Célestin , Dadja-Tiou Panaewazibiou , Gade Maurice
Published: October 2022

Using womanist literary criticism, this work has critically analyzed and revealed that women’s worth is tied to their ability to bear children. The study has also examined the plight, predicaments, and abuses of childless women in African culture. The paper has revealed that childless women are verbally abused, physically beaten, psychologically abused, and maltreated. The paper argues that it is unethical and immoral to maltreat childless women for involuntary infertility. The pressures coming from society constitute huge struggles for childless women when they fail to bear children after a couple of times. The emotional turmoil is further compounded by societal pressure. Family members compel the husband to take another wife for the sake of ensuring a continued lineage. In some cultures, these women suffer domestic abuse, and divorce and are even driven out of their marital homes. The plight of childless women is unfathomable in most African societies with regard to how society maltreats these women because of their incapacity of bearing children. Furthermore, the study has revealed that the social pressures and their predicaments have nevertheless become an impetus for these childless women’s self-actualization and self-realization. Hard work and selfreliance become imperative for these childless women if they really yearn for social thriving.
Sztatin- és nem sztatinkészítmények az LDL-koleszterin-szint csökkentésében : Változások az elmúlt évtizedben
Authors: Gerő László
Published: October 2022

Az elmúlt években számos próbálkozás történt, hogy az LDL-koleszterin csökkentésében csaknem három évtizede élenjáró sztatinkészítményeket valamilyen nem sztatin készítményre váltsuk. A sztatinoknak ui. számos olyan, részben kellemetlen, részben azonban potenciálisan veszélyes mellékhatásuk is van, ami miatt a betegek jelentős része egy év után már nem szedi a gyógyszert. Ilyen mellékhatás az izomfájdalom, esetleg rhabdomyolysis, a májenzimek és a CK emelkedése, az intolerancia kialakulása stb. Az első nem sztatin szer az ezetimib volt, de a gyógyszer jelentős hatást csak sztatinnal (vagy egyéb LDL-koleszterin-csökkentő gyógyszerrel) kombinálva fejt ki. A PCSK-9-vegyületek humán monoklonális antitesttel gátolva jelentős LDL-koleszterin-csökkentést és ugyancsak jelentős kardiovaszkuláris védelmet okoztak, de áruk rendkívül magas. Sok más vegyület egyrészt mellékhatásai miatt (pl. májelzsírosodás, sztatinnal való interferencia) nem alkalmas hosszú távú kezelésre, másrészt nem (csak) az LDL-koleszterin szintjét csökkentette. A legutóbbi néhány évben a PCSK-9 szintjét antiszensz oligonukleotiddal csökkentve több munkacsoport is igen kedvező LDL-koleszterin-szintekről számolt be, és a gyógyszert elegendő volt évente kétszer adni, szubkután injekcióban. A kardiovaszkuláris eredmények vizsgálata még folyamatban van.

Published: October 2022

Taxonomic resolution is a critical component of biodiversity assessments. In this case study, we examined a single taxon within a larger study of nematode diversity to evaluate the taxonomic resolution of different diversity assessment methods. The selected taxon was the microbial-feeding genus Plectus, a group considered to include multiple cosmopolitan species. The methods included a morphological evaluation by light microscopy, Sanger sequencing of PCR amplicons of COI and 18S gene regions, and 18S metabarcoding sequencing. The study sites were 15 remnant tallgrass prairie plots in eastern Nebraska. In the morphological analysis, we observed two basic morphotypes, a short-tailed form with a small amphid and a long-tailed form with a large amphid. Sanger sequencing of COI sorted Plectus diversity into six distinct clades. The largest two of these six clades keyed to P. parietinus and P. rhizophilus based on morphology. BLAST analysis with COI revealed no close matches in GenBank. Sanger sequencing of the 18S region did not differentiate the six clades. These results illustrate that the method of diversity assessment strongly influences estimates of biodiversity. An additional 95 Plectus specimens, from outside the remnant sites, added taxonomic breadth to the COI phylogenetic tree. There were no geographically widespread COI haplotypes and no evidence of cosmopolitan Plectus species.

Descripción y análisis del ecosistema de ciencia para la política en España durante la COVID-19
Authors: Melchor Lorenzo
Published: October 2022

España fue de los países más castigados durante las primeras olas de la COVID-19. Mundialmente, los gobernantes necesitaron asesoramiento científico para guiar sus decisiones e informar a la ciudadanía. Este asesoramiento científico para la toma de decisiones políticas y la relación con la sociedad encaja en la dimensión epistémica o uso del debate público para lograr la mejor decisión dentro de los sistemas deliberativos democráticos. En su ejercicio, destacan las organizaciones fronterizas y el rol de los científicos como mediadores honrados. Este estudio de caso es la primera evaluación cualitativa de los principales actores e instituciones políticas y científicas que conformaron el ecosistema de ciencia para la política en España durante la pandemia, de sus acciones y las fricciones que pudieron dificultar la gestión de la crisis. Desde la parte política, la ciencia estuvo presente en los discursos oficiales y se crearon varios comités asesores ad hoc pero hubo confusión mediática sobre su independencia y transparencia, probablemente por errores de comunicación y por la polarización política. Desde la parte científica, hubo cacofonía de expertos en la esfera pública y competencia por la atención política, con polémicas sobre las decisiones políticas tomadas. Este estudio concluye con recomendaciones para la mejora institucional y la deliberación democrática.
Parámetros constitucionales y convencionales aplicables a la limitación de derechos en el contexto del COVID-19 en México

Published: October 2022

El objetivo de este trabajo es mostrar cuáles son los parámetros constitucionales y convencionales aplicables a la limitación de derechos fundamentales en el contexto del covid-19 en México, con el propósito de reflexionar críticamente sobre algunos casos en los que la autoridad no se ajusta a dichos parámetros con la consiguiente restricción o suspensión injustificada de algunos derechos fundamentales. Por lo que, con apoyo del método dogmático jurídico, exegético y el análisis de casos, en primer término, se desarrollará una base teórica sobre los límites a los derechos fundamentales; luego se analizarán las bases constitucionales y legales vigentes en México aplicables a la pandemia del covid-19; posteriormente se dará cuenta de los parámetros constitucionales y convencionales que resultan aplicables a la restricción o suspensión de derechos en el escenario de la pandemia del covid-19 en México, y finalmente, apoyados en lo anterior, se reflexionará críticamente sobre algunos casos en los cuales las autoridades mexicanas han  procedido en contra de los referidos parámetros constitucionales y convencionales, restringiendo o suspendiendo derechos fundamentales básicos de la población en México.
Discusión jurídico-dogmática acerca del estado de alarma: respuesta a la pandemia de la Covid-19 en el Estado español
Authors: Planchat Calle Lluis
Published: October 2022

Este trabajo presenta un análisis jurídico-dogmático acerca de la licitud del Estado de alarma decretado en España con ocasión del episodio de Covid-19. Se realiza un estudio de las principales figuras jurídicas que doctrinalmente y jurisprudencialmente se han ido construyendo en torno al Derecho de excepción en España, y a la posibilidad de suspensión de derechos fundamentales bajo los estados extraordinarios que en virtud de aquel se declaren – a saber, alarma, excepción y sitio –Se analiza el papel que el contenido esencial de los derechos fundamentales asume como garantía y límite de límites, en su condición de núcleo indisponible (no  ediando habilitación distinta) por parte del poder público. También como manifestación inmediata del haz de facultades o núcleo directamente ejercible de cada uno de ellos, en relación con el potencial de autodeterminación del individuo, su dignidad y el libre desarrollo de la personalidad en los que la Constitución Española se inspira. Estos fundamentan, conforme a ella, el orden político y la paz social, y deben ser tenidos en cuenta, junto con aquel contenido esencial, cuando se limiten y/o suspendan derechos y en los casos excepcionales en que aquel orden o aquella paz puedan quedar en entredicho.

Gamma-oryzanol merupakan senyawa antioksidan alami yang diperoleh dari minyak dedak padi atau yang lebih dikenal dengan rice bran oil (RBO). Gamma-oryzanol diketahui dapat melindungi kulit dari radiasi ultraviolet dan meningkatkan kelembaban kulit, sehingga dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai antikerut dan pelembab kulit di bidang kosmetik. Terdapat dua komponen penting yang menentukan sifat fisik emulgel, yaitu emulgator dan gelling agent. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan pengaruh variasi konsentrasi polimer karbopol 940 sebagai gelling agent terhadap sifat fisik emulgel gamma-oryzanol. Konsentrasi karbopol 940 yang digunakan dalam formulasi adalah 0,5% (pada F1), 0,75% (pada F2) dan 1 % (pada F3). Evaluasi sifat dan stabilitas fisik sediaan emulgel dilakukan terhadap beberapa parameter uji, yaitu pengamatan organoleptis, pengukuran diameter globul rata-rata, penentuan pH, penentuan sifat alir dan kekentalan, uji daya sebar dan uji sentrifugasi. Evaluasi stabilitas fisik sediaan emulgel dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode penyimpanan pada suhu 4oC, 26±2oC dan 40oC, uji cycling test dan uji sentrifugasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa variasi konsentrasi karbopol 940 berpengaruh terhadap sifat dan stabilitas fisik sediaan. Peningkatan konsentrasi karbopol 940 menyebabkan terjadinya peningkatan viskositas emulgel dan ukuran diameter globul rata-rata, serta  penurunan daya sebar. Uji stabilitas fisik menunjukkan ketiga formula sediaan emulgel gamma-oryzanol mengalami perubahan nilai parameter uji yang tidak bermakna pada sifat organoleptis. Berdasarkan hasil uji sentrifugasi, emulgel yang mengandung Carbopol 0,75% (F2) memiliki stabilitas fisik terbaik.

Inflamasi dermal, misalnya jerawat (acne vulgaris), secara tradisional, sering diobati menggunakan tanaman, sehingga beberapa riset mengeksplorasi ekstrak tanaman secara in vitro. Namun demikian, penggunaan ekstrak tanaman sebagai obat topikal tetap harus mengikuti Peraturan Kepala Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan No. 32/2019 tentang PERSYARATAN KEAMANAN DAN MUTU OBAT TRADISIONAL, yang meliputi tiga aspek yaitu keamanan (safety), mutu (quality), dan efektif (efficacy). Lebih lanjut lagi, keamanan obat topikal dipastikan melalui Uji Toksisitas Akut Dermal, seperti tercantum di dalam Peraturan Kepala Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan No. 7/2014 tentang PEDOMAN UJI TOKSISITAS NONKLINIK SECARA IN VIVO.  Kajian pustaka ini merangkum uji toksisitas akut dermal ekstrak tanaman yang telah dilakukan di berbagai negara. Kajian dilakukan menggunakan kata kunci “Acute”, “Dermal”, “Toxicity”, “Extract” pada basis data PubMed, dan menghasilkan 15 artikel. Hasil kajian pustaka menunjukkan bahwa semua ekstrak tanaman yang diuji di dalam kelimabelas artikel tersebut dinyatakan aman karena tidak menimbulkan gejala toksisitas ataupun kematian pada dosis di atas 2000 mg/kg BB. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa uji toksisitas akut dermal ekstrak tanaman merupakan faktor penting dalam keamanan pengembangan suatu obat herbal terstandar topikal
