Pengendalian IMS merupakan prioritas utama World Health Organization (WHO) karena menjadi salah satu infeksi yang menempati peringkat 10 besar di negara berkembang, termasuk Indonesia. Pengetahuan yang rendah tentang IMS meningkatkan risiko sebesar 1,7 kali untuk berperilaku seksual tidak aman. Hasil Survei Demografi dan Kesehatan-Kesehatan Reproduksi Remaja 2017 menunjukkan sebanyak 68,8 % remaja usia 15-19 tahun tidak mengetahui tentang IMS dan 55,7% penduduk usia 20-24 tahun tidak mengetahui tentang IMS. Seminar online ini bertujuan meningkatkan pengetahuan kelompok pemuda-pemudi Gereja GMAHK Ramunia tentang infeksi menular seksual. Berdasarkan hasil pre test dan post test yang diberikan kepada peserta dapat dilihat bahwa pemberian materi seminar dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan peserta mengenai IMS. Hasil feedback dari peserta menunjukkan bahwa 86,7% peserta dapat memahami materi yang disampaikan dalam seminar ini, dan 93,3% peserta menjawab seminar ini bermanfaat bagi mereka terutama berkaitan dengan kesehatan reproduksi.

Avocados (Persea americana) contains omega-9 and vitamins that can reduce total blood cholesterol levels. Objective: This study aimed to see the effect of avocado extract to reduce total blood cholesterol levels on obese male Wistar rat. Methods: This study used a true experimental pretest-posttest with control group design. Subjects were 32 obese male Wistar rats according to Lee's criteria (BMI> 0,3). Subjects were divided into treatment groups and control groups. Pretest of total cholesterol levels was done before treatment while posttest was done after treatment. The treatment group was given avocado extract, while the control group was not. The data was analyzed by paired and unpaired T tests to see the differences of total cholesterol levels on both treatment and control groups. Results: The results was found that the average of treatment group BMI was 0.4763 and the control group BMI was 0.4831. The average of cholesterol total level of treatment group pretest was 104.58 mg/dL and posttest was 85 mg/dL. Then the control group pretest was 101.68 mg/dL and posttest was 98.56 mg/dL. On the treatment group found a significant differences of pretest and posttest average of total cholesterol levels with value of p = 0.000 (p <0.05). A differences of posttest average of total cholesterol level on the treatment group was lower than the control group, with a value of p < 0.001 (p <0.05). Conclusion: Gave the avocado extract reduce total blood cholesterol levels in obese male Wistar rats.

Attention failure is thought to be a major cause of cognitive decline in sleep deprivation. Objective: To determine the relationship between sleep quality and attention on students of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas HKBP Nommensen. Method: This study was an observational analytic study using a cross-sectional design. Study population was active students of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas HKBP Nommensen. The sample was 62 respondents who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data was collected by giving and filling out the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire to assess sleep quality. Then proceed with attention checks using Attention Network Test (ANT). The relationship between sleep quality and attention was analyzed using Spearman test. Results: Respondents who have good sleep quality was 34 respondents (54.8%), moderate sleep quality was 24 respondents (38.6%, and poor sleep quality was 4 respondents (6.4%). Median depiction of orienting based on good sleep quality was 28.00 ms and poor sleep quality was 32.00 ms. Median depiction of executive attention based on good sleep quality was 142.29 ms and poor sleep quality was 170.00 ms. There was no correlation between sleep quality with alerting (p = 0.631 and r = 0.062), orienting (p = 0.892 and r = 0.018) and executive attention (p = 0.085 and r = 0.221). Conclusion: There is no relationship between sleep quality and attention (alerting, orienting and executive attention).

Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is an ideal way to assess clinical skills for undergraduated, graduated, and postdraduated clinical students. The low score in some OSCE station can be an input for teaching and curriculum improvement. This study aim to analyzed student competency achievement in first term in 2017/2018 academic year in Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas HKBP Nommensen. Methods: This study was qualitative study with descriptive design. The sample was OSCE score in first term in 2017/2018 academic year. Student achievement was the mean score of every student in all station in OSCE. Competency achievement was the mean of students score for every competency in OSCE. Next, the stations was categorized in practice/ procedure skills station and clinical reasoning skills station. Skills achievement was got form the mean of score (in percent) of procedure skills and clinical reasoning station. Indept interview with students and lectures was held to knowed their perception about OSCE. Results: Students' achievement in OSCE of first term academic year 2017/2018 was 62.4% for 2015's students, and 64.6% for 2016' students. The lowest competency achievement of 2015's students was diagnosis and differential diagnosis. For the 2016's students, it was farmacology treatment. Practice/ procedure skills achievement in OSCE of first term academic year 2017/2018 was 61.34% (2015's students) and 74.4% (2016's students). The clinical reasoning skills achievement was 62.80% (2015's students), and 58.77% (2016's students). Based on indept interview, the things that make student's achievement low were the clinical reasoning ability of students was still low, the standard patient that involved in OSCE didn't acted properly, the students' knowledge about medicine and prescription was poor, and there were lot of learning schedules and learning subjects that students must did and learned.
