Abstract: Clean and healthy living behavior is essentially the basis for preventing humans from various diseases. Health is everyone's dream and need. The principle of clean and healthy living behavior (PHBS) is one of the cornerstones and health development programs in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of health promotion strategies (advocacy, atmosphere building, and community empowerment movements) on the level of Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) in Household Settings in Subulussalam City Subdistrict. The population of this study was all heads of families in Penanggalan Kota Subulussalam District. The sample of this study is part of the heads of families from the number of heads of families in Penanggalan District, which is 14,394 households. Measurement of independent variables using the Likert Scale, with some conditions. The results showed that PHBS most respondents (56 people, 56%) were in the Healthy II category, followed by Healthy IV as many as 25 respondents (25%), healthy III as many as 14 respondents (14%), and healthy I as many as 5 respondents (5%). This condition shows that most respondents have not met the healthy category standards set by the Ministry of Health, namely PHBS healthy category IV.

Abstract: Background and Aim: Presently, medical students form a vital group of aspiring health professionals that are trained in order to assist in promoting healthcare worldwide. However, there is need to understand how these students derive motivation based on various determinants that enable them in choosing to study related disciplines in medical sciences – hence the aim of this present study. Materials and Methods: Using a qualitative, survey research design, this cross-sectional study comprising of two hundred (200) pre-medical and medical students (98 males and 102 females) between the ages of 16 to 25 years were randomly selected from the University of Port Harcourt and issued a semi-structured questionnaire containing two sections: socio-demographic variables and the determinants influencing career choice in medical sciences. Results: The majority of respondents in the age range of 16 – 19 years (accounting for a combined 88.0% of student population) did fill their study questionnaires. There were significant age and gender differences in some of the determinants such as parental and peer influence, prospects of travelling abroad to practice, and financial benefits. Conclusion: The study resolved that there was a need to educate these students to have the right motivation towards aspiring to study in the medical sciences.

Abstract: Bioactive constituents are the active ingredients of herbal product such as Dryopteris dilataa that possess therapeutic efficacies in the treatment and management of several diseases. Thus, we evaluated different concentration of the free radical scavenging activity and phytochemical constituents of ethanol and sub-extracts of Dryopteris dilatata (Dd) leaves such as butane, hexane and benzene. Phytochemicals analysis was determined on the ethanol extract of Dryopteris dilatata sub-extracts using standard principles, also free radical scavenging capacity of the ethanol extract for Ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), hydroxyl radical scavenging assay (OH), superoxide radical scavenging assay (SSRA), 2,2--Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl assay (DPPH), 2, 2'-azino-bis 3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphoric acid scavenging activity (ABTS) and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) assay (TBA) was done using standard protocols. Results of the phytochemical analysis revealed flavonoids and cardiac glycosides in all extracts, terpenoid, phytosterol, alkaloid, tannins and saponin constituents were present in ethanol, butane and hexane extracts and absent in benzene extract, phenols is present in only hexane extract but absent in all other extracts, glycerols is present in only benzene extracts while phlobotannin and carbohydrate are absent in all extracts. The plant ethanol extract revealed statistically significant at P<0.05 capacity for (FRAP), (OH), (SSRA), (DPPH), (ABTS), (TA). The study therefore suggest that the plant extract could lead to producing therapeutic agent in the treatment and management of several disorders that are attributed to reactive species and oxidative stress.
