Research and Publication Ethics includes principles that guide researchers in conducting and disseminating research ethically. Emphasize integrity, honesty, openness, and respect for subjects rights, preventing conflicts of interest. Adhering to these principles is critical to maintaining trust and credibility in research. Addressing violations such as plagiarism ensures reliability and credibility. Technology helps detect plagiarism, while open research practices encourage transparency and validation. Upholding a code of ethics and participating in ethical forums further strengthens ethical behaviour. Understanding digital data ethics is very important. This book review reflects the importance of ethical practices in research and publication integrity.

Background: Pregnancy is a significant and indelible experience in a woman life. Pregnancy has the potential to become an emotional upheaval for certain women. If not properly handled, it can lead to issues for both the mother and the newborn. Substantial data indicates a strong correlation between pregnancy and various psychological issues among expectant mothers, such as worry, anxiety, and sadness. Physical exercise, such as meditation or yoga, is a treatment used to decrease anxiety in pregnant women. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of prenatal yoga on the anxiety levels of primigravida pregnant women in the third trimester at PMB Eny Islamiati Bululawang Malang. Methods: This research employs quantitative methodologies with a pre-experimental design utilizing a one-group pretest post-test design. Specifically, it involves studying a single group of individuals and measuring their characteristics both before and after receiving therapy. Results: The study revealed that all 16 respondents encountered anxiety before the session. Following the administration of partial intervention, 43.8% of the respondents reported no anxiety, 43.8% reported mild anxiety, and 12.5% reported moderate anxiety. Subsequently, a p-value was obtained, indicating that exercise affects anxiety levels. The impact of yoga on anxiety levels of primigravida pregnant women in their third trimester will be studied at PMB Eny Islamiati Bululawang Malang. Conclusions: The researchers found significant variations in anxiety levels among Primigravida III Trimester pregnant women before and after participating in yoga exercises at PMB Eny Islamiati Bululawang, Malang Regency

Background: Porphyromonas gingivalis is the main cause of periodontitis. The presence of virulence factors of this bacteria increases pro-inflammatory cytokines that can interfere with the remodeling of alveolar bones that will later occur alveolar bone resorption. Robusta coffee is a natural ingredient that contains various substances that are useful for inhibiting inflammation, such as chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, and caffeine. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of steeped Robusta coffee consumption on alveolar bone in rats induced by Porphyromonas gingivalis. Methods: Twenty male Wistar rats divided into 5 groups, control group (K1), rats treated with P. gingivalis induction and was sacrificed on the 14th day (K2), rats treated with P. gingivalis induction with 3.6 ml of brew coffee and was sacrificed on the 14th day (K3), rats treated with P. gingivalis induction and sacrificed on the 28th day (K4), rats treated with P. gingivalis induction with 3.6 ml of brew coffee and sacrificed on the 28th day. The specimens were then processed histologically and stained with HE to determine alveolar bone resorption. Results: There was no significant difference between the induction P. gingivalis and the consumption of robusta brew coffee for 14 days with control group. It means that treated brew robusta coffee for 14 days had alveolar bone resorption similar with the control group. The induction group P. gingivalis with consumption of Robusta coffee brew for 28 days there was a significant difference with the control group. The induction group P. gingivalis with consumption of Robusta coffee brew for 14 days differed significantly from the treatment for 28 days, this could be due to the longer treatment resulting in more bacterial tissue exposure. Conclusion: Consumption of brew robusta coffee can inhibit the resorption of alveolar bone caused by Porphyromonas gingivalis.

Background: Hypertension is expected to reach 60% by 2025, largely in low- and middle-income countries, with 46% unaware and 42% undiagnosed and untreated Knowing the intricate association between salt and adult hypertension is vital for public health efforts. This scoping review explain how sodium affects blood pressure to prevent hypertension in adults and middle-aged people. Methods: Tricco and colleagues approach was used to examine hypertension and salt in adults and middle-aged people. Assessment techniques, hypertension prevalence, and sodium-hypertension relationships were reviewed. A comprehensive PubMed and Google Scholar search of full-text academic journals spanning 2013-2023 found relevant studies. Two researchers extracted data separately and reached consensus for eligible trials. The search phrases were hypertension, salt, adult, middle-aged, and young adult. Results: There were 13 articles, found that nutritional intake evaluations, 24-hour urine collections, clinical and laboratory tests, physical measurements, blood pressure monitoring, and specific trials or interventions are assessment methods. Salt consumption and hypertension show different prevalence rates. Conclusion: These studies also describe the complex relationship between salt intake and hypertension in adults and middle-aged people. These studies effectively elucidate a complex correlation between salt consumption and hypertension among middle-aged and adult individuals, notwithstanding variations in measurement approaches and prevalence.

The oral cavity is a high-risk infective site, and highly contagious diseases like viral infections are confirmed to be transmitted through it. Oral rinses are a very important and one of the most important objective methods and topical essential strategies to decrease the spread and transmission of contagious diseases. There is a gap in the literature regarding a comprehensive comparison between povidone-iodine and other formulations in terms of their effectiveness in preventing oral cross-infection and transmission of orally transmitted diseases. The authors performed a comprehensive literature review utilizing Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct to review relevant studies over the previous years on the effectiveness of povidone-iodine in preventing oral cross-infection and transmission of orally transmitted diseases by using these keywords: oral transmitted diseases, povidone-iodine, cross-infection, and antiseptic. This article includes a comprehensive overview of the existing knowledge regarding the effectiveness of povidone-iodine compared with other antiseptic agents in preventing oral cross-infection and transmission of orally transmitted diseases. Povidone-iodine has shown effective antiseptic properties in the oral cavity without disrupting its natural balance. It is a valuable anti-septic preventive oral-transmitted disease for patients and healthcare providers, and there is no evidence to show the side effects over a long time. Povidone-iodine can be safely used as antisepsis for the oral cavity for the prevention of orally transmitted diseases as personal prophylaxis, and its the most effective mouth rinse for viral infection in the oral cavity due to its fast action.
