Formulasi Sediaan Sabun Mandi Padat Ekstrak Etanol Daun Bidara (Ziziphus Mauritiana Lamk.)

Tanaman bidara (Ziziphus mauritiana Lamk) merupakan salah satu tanaman yang digunakan sebagai obat tradisional khususnya bagian daun yang mengandung metabolit sekunder seperti flavonoid dan polifenol yang memiliki aktivitas sebagai antioksidan. Penelitian ini dilakukan bertujuan untuk mendapatkan formula sabun mandi padat ekstrak etanol daun bidara (Ziziphus mauritiana Lamk) yang memenuhi syarat karakteristik sabun mandi padat. Ekstrak daun bidara diperoleh dengan cara maserasi menggunakan pelarut etanol 70% kemudian dipekatkan untuk mendapatkan ekstrak kental. Ekstrak kental daun bidara (Ziziphus mauritiana Lamk) sebanyak 4% kemudian diformulasikan menjadi 3 formula sabun mandi padat yang berbeda. Formula I menggunakan minyak sawit dan zaitun, formula II menggunakan minyak kelapa dan jagung, Formula III menggunakan VCO dan minyak jarak. Pengujian karakteristik sabun dilakukan selama 30 hari meliputi uji organoleptis, homogenitas, kadar air, kadar asam lemak bebas, kadar alkali bebas dan nilai pH. Hasil uji selama 30 hari menunjukkan bahwa Formula I, II dan III hanya memenuhi syarat sabun berupa organoleptis meliputi bentuk, warna dan aroma, kadar asam lemak bebas dan nilai pH serta tidak memenuhi syarat homogenitas, kadar air dan kadar alkali beba

Bardet-Biedl Syndrome: A Rare Entity

Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare ciliopathy autosomal recessive hereditary disorder due to mutation in 14 genes. It affects multiple organ systems such as renal dysfunction, congenital heart disease, ocular defect, cognitive impairment, and speech disorder and presented clinically as truncal obesity, polydactyly, along with a history of diabetes mellitus, hypertensive, and rod-cone dystrophy. Dental anomalies are also present in the majority of the affected population due to abnormal embryonic orofacial and teeth development. As a dentist, it is difficult to encounter the diagnosis of such a rare disease. Thus, here is a case report emphasizing the oral pathology associated with multiple clinical phenotypic expressions
