Objective: To identify the effectiveness of beet juice administration on hemoglobin level of anemic pregnant women. Materials and Methods: This was an experimental quantitative study using pretest-posttest design with a total sample of 30 patients who were divided into 2 groups of treatment groups (beetroot + Fe) and control group (Fe). The treatment was carried out for 14 days. Before and after the treatment, the samples were subjected to hemoglobin examination. Data in this study were the difference between pre-test and post-test values, the results of normality test with Shapiro Wilk, and, to identify the difference between pre-test and post-test, the results of Wilcoxon Test for abnormal data and Paired T-Test for normal data. Results: Mann Whitney Test results between treatment and control groups revealed p (0.023) < alpha (0.05). There was a significant difference in hemoglobin levels between TM III pregnant women with anemia receiving beets and those receiving Fe tablets only. Conclusion: Minimum Hb increase before and after the administration of Fe and beetroot juice to pregnant women was 17.7 gr% and the maximum Hb level was 0.8 gr%.

Objective: To investigate the effect of genistein on proinflammatory cytokines, NF-κ B activation, and estrogen receptor-β expression in a mice model of endometriosis. Methods: Forty female mice (Mus musculus) were divided into eight groups (n=5 each), including the control (untreated) group, endometriosis group, and the endometriosis groups were given various doses of genistein (at doses of 50; 100; 200; 300; 400; 500 mg/day). Analysis of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8 level were done by ELISA technically. Analysis of estrogen receptor-β and NF-κB were done by immunohistochemistry. Results: The level of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8 were significantly higher in the EM group compared to the untreated control group (P0.05). These increased levels of IL-1β, IL-6, adn IL-8 in the EM group were significantly reduced by all doses of genistein. There were significantly (P0.05). All doses genistein significantly prevented EM-induced increase in NF-κB activation (P

Pregnancy in adolescents can cause serious conditions such as physical and psychological conditions. Pregnancy among adolescents in low, middle, and high income countries is a problem that occurs globally. According to Who data (2012). There are around 16 million adolescents aged 15-19 giving birth each year. Meanwhile, in low income countries there are around 14% of pregnancies out of wedlock.

The research design used a literature review with sources from computerized systematic search studies (Google Scholar and Pubmed) with the last 10 years recorder from 2014-2023. There were 60 articles obtained and after conducting a proper review of the title, there were 23 with 19 national articles and 4 international articles. The criteria for finding the key to searching the literature review are “mental health” and “adolescent pregnancy”
