Kaliurang (UII News) – Writing a paper on hypertension, which is the number one cause of death in the world, and hypertension being the number 3 cause of death after stroke and tuberculosis, medical students won 1st place in the MUNSF Grand Final (Medical Usakti National Scientific Fair) ).

This was conveyed by Helmi Zunan Tanuwijaya (medical student class of 2014), after attending the MUNSF (Medical Usakti National Scientific Fair) Grand Final which was held on Saturday, 04 Rajab 1438 H/01 April 2017 at the Faculty of Medicine, Trisakti University, Jakarta.

According to Helmi, FK UII sent 2 teams, namely from the Literature Review and Scientific Paper branches. The Literature Review branch was attended by Rafik Prabowo FK UII (2015) and for the Scientific Paper branch it was attended by Alvyana Nikmatur Rahmah Khalidyah (2016), Firdha Khoirun Nikmah (2016), and Helmi Zunan Tanuwijaya (2014).

"In the Scientific Paper branch, the FK UII delegation won 1st place with the title of work "The Effect of Isolated Probiotic Yogurt Bacteria Lactobacillus plantarum mut7 From Traditional Fermentation Products of Gatot Yam as Alternative Food for Hypertension Sufferers in Obesity". This writing is guided by 2 supervisors, namely dr. Syaefudin Ali Akhmad, M.Sc and dr. Evy Sulistyoningrum, M.Sc”, said Helmi

The results of this paper are applied in the form of Yogurt which utilizes probiotic bacteria from a traditional product typical of Kulon Progo, Yogyakarta, namely Gatot sweet potato. The content of this probiotic bacteria has a mechanism to reduce hypertension by inhibiting ACE.

"It is hoped that this paper will allow further research to be carried out and can create a solution to further optimize traditional products that have begun to be forgotten," said Helmi. Wibowo[:]
