Experiencing cavities, should they be removed?<\/a><\/h3>
Cavities can cause aches or toothaches that may be unbearable. In addition, in some cases it can also lead to complications, ranging from infection, tooth abscess, sepsis, to tooth loss. Therefore, it is important to treat cavities most precisely in the following article. \n\n Various ways to deal with cavities can be done so that the holes in the teeth do not continue to grow and the accompanying symptoms can be overcome. Cavities are often marked by sensitive teeth and white or brown stains on the teeth. Cavities in the teeth are formed when plaque sticks to the outermost layer of teeth or enamel and a fermentation process occurs after 4 hours. Plaque is a sticky layer formed from food residue and bacteria. \n\n Cavities can occur due to a combination of several factors, such as consuming too much sweet intake, excessive snacking, or not cleaning your teeth properly and correctly. If Hermina's Friend has cavities, should they be extracted or filled, right? The main cavities treatment is filling. However, the final decision to fill or remove teeth will depend on the evaluation and consultation with the dentist. \n\n Cavities that can still be filled \nCavities that can be patched are those that have damage that is still limited to the outer surface or tooth enamel (enamel) and dentin. Usually, teeth that have minor to moderate damage can be patched and repaired without needing to be extracted. The following are examples of cases of cavities that can be patched: \n\n 1. Teeth with holes limited to enamel \n\n Fillings can be made on teeth with enamel caries. This condition occurs when tooth decay only reaches the surface layer of tooth enamel. The enamel layer is the outermost layer of the teeth. At this stage, the teeth can be permanently patched immediately. \n\n 2. Teeth with holes limited to dentin \n\n This condition occurs when the tooth decay has penetrated deeper into the dentin. At this stage, filling cavities with permanent fillings can still be done. \n\n However, if the damaged part of the dentin is too deep to approach the tooth pulp chamber, it needs to be treated first. If identified early, dentin damage can be repaired quickly with a patch. \n\n 3. Teeth with holes that have penetrated the pulp \n\n To find out whether a cavity that has reached the pulp can still be maintained or removed, depending on the results of clinical and supporting examinations after consultation with a dentist. \n\n In a tooth with a hole that has penetrated the pulp, this means that tooth damage has reached the nerves, blood vessels and lymph vessels of the tooth, so a series of root canal treatments need to be carried out to preserve the tooth. \n\n Root canal treatment aims to remove all infected pulp tissue. In addition, this treatment will shape the root canal of the tooth which will eventually be filled with dental filling material. After that, new cavities can be patched permanently. \n\n 4. Abscess \n\n If an abscess has formed, the dentist will likely perform root canal treatment to remove the infection. In severe cases, the affected tooth may need to be completely extracted. \n\n Mentosa medication such as antibiotics can also be prescribed to help the healing process. This drug works to reduce bacterial infections that have already occurred. \n\n Cavities Conditions That Must Be Extracted \nTeeth that should be extracted are teeth that have very serious damage, such as damage to the root of the tooth, infection of the gums and bone or include facial deformity, or teeth that can no longer be repaired with fillings. The following are examples of cases of cavities that must be removed so that the condition does not get worse: \n\n 1. Large and Deep Cavities \n\n Tooth extraction is necessary if the tooth has a large and deep hole that reaches the pulp of the tooth, then penetrates again from the base of the pulp chamber to the branching of the tooth root (bifurcation). In this condition, the tooth cannot be treated anymore because the infection has spread to the bottom of the tooth. \n\n 2. Cavities Accompanied by Loosening \n\n In this condition, filling cavities will be in vain. The reason is, the teeth will still hurt because of the loose teeth, unless splinting therapy is carried out to stabilize the loose teeth. However, provided that the damage to the alveolar bone is not too severe and the tooth can still be filled. \n\n 3. Cavities only have roots left \n\n To find out whether Friends of Hermina's cavities need to be removed or simply filled, you can see this condition too. If you have a cavity and only the root remains of the tooth, it is better to remove it so as not to cause infection. \n\n 4. Cavities in Wisdom Molars that Grow Oblique \nTooth extraction needs to be done in conditions where the wisdom teeth are hollow, and the growth is tilted. This is important to prevent damage to the adjacent teeth. \n\n If the tooth is not removed immediately and only a filling is carried out in these conditions, the tooth can experience further infection. This condition will endanger the health of your teeth and body. \n\n 5. Cavities are located near abnormal tissue \n\n Abnormal growths can occur anywhere on the body, including the inside of the mouth. If you experience cavities that are located close to abnormal tissue, chances are the tooth needs to be removed. It is feared that cavities are at risk of infection and endanger health, moreover there are tissues that grow abnormally. \n\n 6. Cavities occur in overlapping teeth \n\n Sometimes teeth can grow in areas where they shouldn't, for example, adjacent to other teeth. This condition causes the condition of uneven teeth aka messy. Apart from reducing the appearance of the teeth, this condition of the teeth can also cause discomfort, for example rubbing against the inside of the mouth, making it easy to get mouth ulcers. \n\n If a tooth that grows in this inappropriate location also has a cavity, the doctor may recommend removing it. \n\n It is important for Friends of Hermina to have a dentist check-up every six months, so that caries/cavities can be detected early and further tooth damage can be prevented.

Gallstones Disappear, Invisible Incision With Laparoscopic<\/a><\/h3>
Gallstones or known as cholelithiasis is a medical condition of a person caused by the formation of the gallbladder in the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a small human organ that is located on the right side of the abdomen and just below the liver. The gallbladder produces and stores bile which functions in a person's digestive process. Digesting cholesterol in the body is the main task of the gallbladder and is one of the important organs in the human body because gallstones are formed from hardened cholesterol deposits. \n\n Until now, it is not known what causes gallstones to form. However, there are several factors that put a person at risk of developing gallstones. Some of these factors include pregnancy, obesity, unhealthy diet, diabetes, and certain conditions such as anemia, leukemia, and liver disease. The number of gallstones that sufferers have varies, it can be just one, it can also be several. They also vary in size, from as small as a grain of sand to as big as a golf ball. \n\n When Is Gallstone Surgery Necessary? \n\n Someone who has gallstones usually feels stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, shoulder pain, back pain between the shoulder blades and has a high fever. Treatment for gallstones will be adjusted to the patient's condition and the type, location and size of gallstones. Specifically, gallstones that are considered large require surgery if their size reaches 5 cm or more. However, even small gallstones, if there are many of them, triggering severe symptoms, or blocking the bile/pancreatic ducts are often not enough to be treated with conservative therapy, such as through dietary modifications, lifestyle, and drugs alone. So, it is not only size that is used as a reference in determining the best treatment. \n\n One treatment that can be done to treat gallstone pain is by performing a laparoscopy. Laparoscopic gallstone surgery is the removal of the stones and gallbladder through several small incisions, approximately 0.5 to 1 cm. Not all patients with gallstones can do laparoscopy, for example someone who has previously had surgery in the area around the gallbladder because of the risk of bleeding. However, if the patient has never had surgery in the area of gallstones, it is recommended to do a laparoscopy because laparoscopic surgery has several advantages compared to conventional surgery. \n\n Advantages of Operation with Laparoscopy \n\n Gallstone surgery with laparoscopy is an action by making a small wound in the form of an incision in the abdomen to remove the bladder and gallstones. The advantages of performing laparoscopic gallstone surgery are: \n\n \n Small surgical scar \n Pain is lighter after surgery \n Minimal bleeding \n Shorter hospital stay \n The recovery period is faster compared to laparotomy surgery \n \n\n Before performing laparoscopic gallstone surgery \n\n Before performing laparoscopic surgery for gallstones, the patient carries out several examinations, namely carrying out a thorough physical examination including carrying out blood checks and x-rays. Other preparations made by the patient are: \n\n \n Do not eat or drink several hours before surgery \n Take a shower using an antiseptic soap \n Drink water 2 hours before laparoscopy \n Consuming laxatives to clean feces in the intestines \n Do not use jewelry during treatment \n \n\n Gallstone Surgery Procedure with Laparascopy \n\n Before undergoing surgery, the doctor performs general anesthesia so that the patient cannot feel pain during the operation. Digestive surgeons perform surgical procedures by making small incisions in the patient's abdomen. In one of the incisions the doctor inserts a camera to observe the location of the gallstones and in the other incision the doctor will cut and remove the gallbladder. \n\n After performing gallstone laparoscopic surgery \n\n Laparoscopic gallstone surgery does not require a long recovery time. Healing after performing laparoscopic surgery generally lasts for 1 to 2 weeks. If the patient undergoes conventional surgery, the patient's recovery can last longer. \n\n Hermina friends who have complaints about gallstones can consult with a specialist in digestive surgery at RSU Hermina Pandanaran.

STROKE Therapy With Bobath Exercise Approach<\/a><\/h3>
Stroke management requires appropriate therapy to provide the best results for patients, from neurologists to medical rehabilitation doctors. This is because a stroke that occurs due to a blockage in the blood vessels of the brain or bleeding in the brain can affect many other organs because the brain is a nerve center. Management of the golden period in stroke attacks must be continued until the therapy process for the patient. Bobath therapy is a type of therapy that can be applied in the recovery of stroke patients. \n\n Get to know Bobath Therapy \nImpaired movement and body function can reduce the quality of human life. Among adults, stroke is the main factor triggering the disorder. Stroke patients often lose the ability to balance in their activities and limited the movement of a number of their limbs, especially the hands and feet. For example, stroke patients cannot hold a pencil, wear their own clothes, and even get out of bed by themselves. In the treatment of stroke, Bobath therapy can be used to overcome this problem. \n\n Bobath therapy is also often referred to as Neurodevelopmental Treatment (NDT). Stroke patients have limited movement patterns. Therefore, in the treatment of stroke using Bobath therapy, the patient will be guided to relearn certain movements gradually and repeatedly until a normal pattern is formed. The patient is taught to master each particular movement before moving on to another. \n\n The more movement exercises, the more patterns are formed so that the patient's overall body function will improve. Bobath therapy aims to prevent patients from developing abnormal self-movement patterns. If you have mastered normal patterns, it is hoped that the patient will be able to carry out daily activities better so that his quality of life is maintained. \n\n Bobath Therapy Goals: \n\n Improved posture, coordination and movement \nReduces stiffness in muscles \nOptimizing and modifying functional capabilities \nReducing pain \nAchieve independence \nImprove quality of life \n\n Bobath Therapy Procedure \n\n The form of stroke treatment with Bobath therapy depends on the condition of each patient. The medical team will use the results of the examination that identify the symptoms experienced by the patient as a basis for determining a therapy program. The essence of this therapy is to train patients to learn certain movement patterns according to their needs. \n\n So the medical team will first examine the patient's condition to find out the limitations of movement due to the stroke he has experienced. In general, there are three methods used in Bobath therapy, namely facilitation, stimulation, and stabilization. \n\n In facilitation, the patient is guided to master the movement patterns needed to do something. For example, sitting before lying down. Patients will be taught how to control posture from lying down to being able to sit perfectly. \n\n The stimulation is the stimulation given in verbal and non-verbal form to the patient when practicing the movement. For example, the therapist gives verbal stimulation in the form of cues. Meanwhile, non-verbal stimulation includes pats or pressure on the limbs of the patient being trained. Meanwhile, stabilization is a method to achieve balance so that the movement is more stable. \n\n Types & Cases That Can Be Treated With Bobath Therapy \n\n \n Post stroke \n After head injury \n Post-infection/brain tumor \n Parkinson's (Degenerative Nervous Disease) \n Dementia (Decreased mental abilities such as memory impairment and attention deficit disorder, other neurological disorders). \n \n\n RSU Hermina Pandanaran already has a bobath therapy facility with physiotherapists who are experts in their fields.

Get to know the term FAST STROKE<\/a><\/h3>
Stroke is a disease that occurs when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted by a blockage or rupture of a blood vessel, which causes cell death in certain areas of the brain. Stroke is a serious health problem that requires immediate treatment. When the blood supply that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is interrupted, brain cells begin to die. \n\n Recognize the early signs of a stroke. \nStroke is a disorder of brain function that occurs due to the cessation of blood supply to the brain due to a blockage (ischemic stroke) or rupture of blood vessels (hemorrhagic stroke). A stroke occurs suddenly, anytime, anywhere, at rest or during activity. To do so, you need to recognize stroke symptoms as early as possible with a few simple steps. FAST (face, arm, speech, and timing) to detect early symptoms of stroke. Stroke symptoms vary from person to person and often appear suddenly. Because the brain has certain parts that perform certain functions, the symptoms of a stroke depend on which part of the brain is affected. FAST is a method that makes it easier to recognize the early symptoms of a stroke so that it can be treated quickly. The following is a more complete explanation of FAST : \n\n FACE (Face) : One side of the face may be paralyzed and visible when smiling; the corners of the lips are raised to one side only; or the eyes appear to droop. Contrast this with contralateral facial paralysis. \nARMS (arms) : A person who is suspected of having had a stroke because he is unable to lift one or both of his arms due to weakness, apart from losing sensation in his arms, can also feel tingling. \nSPEAKING (Speech): Speech is disturbed or muddled; you may even be unable to speak at all, although you remain conscious. \nTIME (Time) : It's important to keep these signs in mind, especially if you currently live with or care for someone at high risk. If you notice these three symptoms, take the person who has had a stroke to the nearest hospital to get the treatment they need. \n\n Here are some of the early symptoms of a stroke to watch out for : \n1. Loss of sensation or weakness on one side of the body \nYou should be careful if the person suspected of having a stroke has difficulty moving their arms or controlling their fingers or toes. For example, when you raise both hands, one hand will be higher than the other. \n2. Confusion and difficulty speaking \nSomeone who has had a stroke will suddenly have difficulty speaking. In fact, some of them are experiencing interference. \n3. Sudden loss of vision \nSudden loss of vision is a common symptom of a stroke. They may not be able to see well with one eye or have trouble looking to the right or left. \n4. Difficulty walking and loss of balance \nLooking drunk while walking, tripping, or even falling is a sign of a stroke. Other similar signs, such as walking with spread legs or a sudden loss of fine motor skills, such as an inability to write, are also cause for concern. \nSevere, sudden, and unexplained headache \nHeadaches are not always synonymous with stroke symptoms. But if the headache comes suddenly or is severe, you should be very careful. If the neck feels stiff, there is pain in the face, or vomiting is accompanied by a headache, it is not impossible to cause intracerebral bleeding, also known as a red stroke. \nIf you feel the symptoms of a stroke, it's better to consult a neurologist or check yourself at the nearest health facility. \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Facts About Skin Asthma or Atopic Dermatitis You Need to Know<\/a><\/h3>
Maybe Hermina's friends are familiar with asthma for breathing, but what about skin asthma? This term is not yet well known by the public because the term eczema or atopic dermatitis is more often used for this type of skin disease. \n\n The incidence of atopic dermatitis is increasing, especially in children. Therefore, it is very important to know everything about this one skin disease. Check out the full review below : \n\n \n\n What is skin asthma ? \n\n Actually, this disease is no different from atopic dermatitis, which is a condition that makes the skin dry, itchy, and inflamed. The term skin asthma first appeared because atopic dermatitis and asthma in sufferers are usually interrelated. \n\n As many as 50% of people with asthma have severe eczema; this is related to the body's immune response. Both of these diseases, asthma and eczema, arise due to an exaggerated immune response to allergens, resulting in inflammation of the respiratory tract or skin. \n\n \n\n Facts About Skin Asthma \n\n There are many assumptions or myths about skin asthma circulating in society that are sometimes confusing. Therefore, it is very important to know the real facts so as not to misunderstand. These are the facts that need to be understood: \n\n \n \n Not Contagious \n \n \n\n Many think that this disease can be transmitted from one person to another. However, the fact is that atopic dermatitis is not a disease caused by bacteria or viruses, so it cannot be transmitted. This disease is a symptom that appears due to a problem with the body's immune response. \n\n \n \n Can be suffered for life. \n \n \n\n Another fact that must be known is that this disease can last a lifetime. The reason is that this disease is influenced by the body's immunity and genetics, so it will not go away but can come and go by itself. When immunity is good, it will disappear and recur when immunity drops. \n\n \n \n Detergents can trigger dermatitis. \n \n \n\n Atopic dermatitis can also be caused by an excessive allergic reaction to foreign objects from outside, one of which is detergent. The skin of atopic dermatitis sufferers can suddenly become irritated and red when exposed to the detergent used to wash the clothes they are wearing. \n\n \n \n Decreasing Disease \n \n \n\n It was mentioned above that atopic dermatitis is a disease related to genes, so it is highly likely that it will be inherited. For parents who have a history of allergies, 80% of their children will experience the same thing. Whereas for parents without a history of allergies, the possibility that their child will still be allergic is only 20%. \n\n \n \n Untreatable \n \n \n\n Basically, the treatment of skin asthma or atopic dermatitis is just dealing with the symptoms. The doctor will give medicine to relieve itching, redness, and pain, if any. Meanwhile, the cause itself is unknown, so doctors cannot treat the cause directly. \n\n \n\n Tips for Overcoming Skin Asthma \n\n After knowing the facts, Friends of Hermina can better understand how to deal with this disease so it doesn't get worse. Apart from going to the doctor, friends of Hermina can follow the tips below : \n\n \n \n Get enough rest and avoid stress \n \n \n\n It is known that atopic dermatitis is a disease related to the immune system. So the way to deal with it is, of course, by seeking to increase your body's immune system. By avoiding stress and getting enough rest, it will boost the immune system, so it will prevent atopic dermatitis. \n\n \n \n Regular Sports \n \n \n\n Exercise is very good for health and effective in warding off various kinds of diseases. In the case of skin asthma, exercise is needed to maintain body resistance so that immunity rises and it is not easy to experience allergic reactions. \n\n \n \n Consumption of Hypoallergenic Foods \n \n \n\n One of the triggers of atopic dermatitis is an allergy to a food, so the body shows an allergic reaction. Therefore, it would be better if you avoided foods that have the potential to cause allergies, such as eggs, chicken, and seafood. Choose foods that are hypoallergenic (do not cause allergies). \n\n \n \n Keep clean \n \n \n\n Eczema or atopic dermatitis can appear as a result of the body's reaction to foreign objects such as dust, cat hair, or invisible germs. Therefore, to avoid the occurrence of allergic reactions, it would be better if you always maintained the cleanliness of your body and place of residence. \n\n \n \n Wear soft clothing \n \n \n\n People with very sensitive skin really have to take care of everything that comes into contact with their skin, especially clothes. In order not to irritate it, choose clothes that are made of soft materials so that they do not irritate the skin, which can result in an itchy reaction and atopic dermatitis. \n\n Understanding the facts about skin asthma will help Friends of Hermina recognize this disease so that it is not handled wrongly. Apart from that, following the tips above will also help Friends of Hermina overcome this notorious skin disease. \n\n Maintaining health is very important. So never underestimate a disease that you suffer from because it can be fatal if not treated immediately. Even though it looks like a skin disease, if left alone, skin asthma can also cause severe inflammation. Immediately consult a skin specialist at the nearest Hermina Hospital or consult online through the Halo Hermina application. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

To overcome anxiety disorders, take these steps<\/a><\/h3>
Physical health is influenced not only by food intake, quality of rest, and activity but also by psychological factors. Anxiety disorders, which are often faced by many people, are important things that can reduce health. Therefore, this problem must receive immediate treatment so that it does not cause someone to fall ill. \n\n To deal with anxiety disorders that often arise, it is necessary to know the cause first. Different causes of anxiety may require different treatments. The sooner this disorder is detected, the easier it is to handle. \n\n \n\n Causes of anxiety disorders \n\n Anxiety disorders can occur at certain times, for example, when going for an exam, facing a new atmosphere, selecting work, and others. Actually, anxiety is an early indication of the emergence of stress because the mind is forced to focus on one cause or condition at a time. \n\n Anxiety is a mental disorder that can have serious consequences. Even though anyone can experience it, excessive anxiety can be fatal. If it appears until it is difficult to control, anxiety can interfere with various activities that make a person's quality of life drop drastically. Causes of anxiety include : \n\n \n \n Traumatic experience \n \n \n\n Bad events that happen to someone can cause excessive anxiety. An extraordinary feeling of fear will arise if someone who has experienced mental stress meets the trigger again. \nAnxiety disorders can appear at any time when you remember the events that have happened to you. To handle it requires gradual action, and it can take a long time. \n\n \n \n Because of heredity \n \n \n\n Psychological health problems, including anxiety, can be passed on from parents to their children. This type of health disorder requires patience and intensive action so that sufferers can be healthy and not experience mental problems anymore. \n\n \n \n Personality disorders \n \n \n\n Many things can cause personality disorders, such as experiencing successive failures or disasters, not being able to achieve the expected goals, and so on. This type of disorder will be easily cured if the sufferer is willing to let go of the burden gradually and continuously. \n\n \n \n Side effects due to the consumption of certain drugs \n \n \n\n Consumption of certain drugs and drinks can cause excessive anxiety. This is a reaction from the ingredients in the drug that the body responds to. Usually, this disorder can be reduced after the patient minimizes the consumption of these drugs. \n\n \n \n As a congenital effect of the disease \n \n \n\n Anxiety disorders can appear when a person suffers from certain diseases. Because there is a disturbance in the performance of the body's organs that affects a person's mentality, he becomes depressed and easily experiences excessive anxiety. \n\n \n\n Symptoms and Ways to Overcome Anxiety \n\n There are several symptoms that appear when a person has an anxiety disorder. From these symptoms, appropriate actions or steps can be determined to deal with them so that the disorder can disappear immediately. The following are symptoms of anxiety that often occur : \n\n \n \n Panic \n \n \n\n Panic that appears with various intensities not only makes you mentally or psychologically disturbed, but your body can drop. The frequency and level of panic experienced by each patient can vary. Some of the commonly seen signs are : \n\n \n \n Excessive sweating \n \n \n The chest feels tight \n \n \n Pounding \n \n \n Afraid \n \n \n Shiver \n \n \n Felt like having a heart attack \n \n \n\n Panic attacks can occur at any time and usually last 10 minutes or more. In more severe conditions, panic can last for up to an hour or more. To overcome this, you can sit down, close your eyes, and then inhale deeply through your nose and exhale through your mouth. \n\n Do it repeatedly until you feel relaxed. If you've been doing it for some time but the feeling of panic hasn't gone away, seek medical help immediately. Usually, the doctor will give medication in the form of psychotherapy. \n\n \n \n Social anxiety \n \n \n\n This disorder often occurs when a person interacts with many people, both before, during, and after the interaction. Usually, people who experience this disorder do not dare to speak in public. Someone who suffers from social anxiety is always afraid of making a mistake that makes him ashamed. Symptoms : \n\n \n \n Low self-confidence \n \n \n Uncomfortable in public places \n \n \n Worried about being criticized \n \n \n Avoid meeting and making eye contact with people \n \n \n\n How to deal with social anxiety symptoms with cognitive behavioral therapy and always being around supportive people In addition, if it is severe enough, the doctor will usually prescribe antidepressants. \n\n \n \n Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) \n \n \n\n This third type is usually experienced by someone over the long term, for example, 6 to 12 months. The trigger can be due to personal problems such as health, finances, or work that is not as expected. Symptoms that often appear are : \n\n \n \n Excessive sweating \n \n \n Strained muscles \n \n \n It's easy to get angry \n \n \n Get dizzy \n \n \n Tired for no reason \n \n \n Frequent urination \n \n \n\n For sufferers of these symptoms, the way to deal with them can be through psychotherapy or the consumption of certain drugs or supplements. But evoking a feeling of security and comfort is far more important as a treatment step than taking drugs. \n\n Some symptoms of anxiety disorders can appear in everyone. Being calm and controlling your feelings so you can think positively is very important so that everyone can deal with anxiety disorders independently so they don't need to take medication. If Hermina's friends experience symptoms of anxiety disorders, immediately consult a psychiatrist at the nearest Hermina Hospital. Friends can also consult online through the Halo Hermina application. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Stony Bile? This Appears To Be The Cause<\/a><\/h3>
Bile is a gland that has an important role in the digestive process, especially cholesterol in the body. If bile function is impaired, gallstones can form. For this reason, most stones in the gallbladder are composed of cholesterol, which precipitates and hardens in the gallbladder. \n\n Although most of them are caused by cholesterol, there are still many that can cause stones in the gallbladder. For more details, just look at the full review below : \n\n \n\n What are gallstones ? \n\n The term gallstones is often used to refer to stones in the gallbladder that are formed from hardened digestive juices. The gallbladder itself is an organ in the digestive system that is small and shaped like a pear. \n\n There are many types of stones in the bile that are distinguished based on their main constituent components. Here's an explanation : \n\n \n \n Cholesterol stones are formed from high cholesterol in the bile. \n \n \n Bilirubin stones: These stones are poorly soluble in water and are formed due to the precipitation of calcium bilirubin salts or infection. \n \n \n Mixed Stone: As the name implies, its constituent components are a mixture of cholesterol, bilirubin, and calcium salts. \n \n \n Causes of gallstone disease \n \n \n\n Each type of gallstone has different constituent components. Many causes cause various types of stones in the gallbladder, including the following : \n\n \n \n High-fat foods \n \n \n\n One of the biggest factors that causes the formation of bile is cholesterol. Cholesterol is found in foods that have a high fat content, especially animal protein sources. Patients with gallstones should reduce their fat consumption by 25–40 g per day. \n\n \n \n Consume simple carbohydrates and refined sugars. \n \n \n\n In one study, it was stated that consuming more than 40 g of sugar a day would double the risk of gallstones. Therefore, you must be smart in choosing the type of carbohydrate that does not contain a lot of sugar and is safe for bile. \n\n \n \n Consuming red meat and its processed products in excess \n \n \n\n The high cholesterol and sodium content of meat and its preparations make this type of food harmful to the bile if consumed in excess. Therefore, in order not to form cholesterol stones in the bile, limit the consumption of meat and its preparations. \n\n \n \n High-fat milk and its processes \n \n \n\n Milk is a good natural source of calcium if consumed as needed. However, if the consumption is excessive, especially if you choose high-fat milk and processed products, it will be a disaster that can form gallstones in the future. \n\n \n \n Junk Food \n \n \n\n The term junk food is used for foods that have low nutritional content but high energy. Usually junk food has a very high fat content, so the total energy is high. This high fat content is dangerous because it can form gallstones. \n\n \n\n Symptoms of gallstones \n\n Every disease or disorder in the body must cause symptoms that can be felt, although sometimes they are not specific, so further examination is needed by an expert. The following are the symptoms that often appear in sufferers : \n\n \n \n Fever \n \n \n\n If you have a fever and chills accompanied by a fast-beat heart that you feel when you have a stomach ache, you need to suspect that you have a problem with the bile. If these symptoms begin to appear, it means that the bile has become blocked and an infection has occurred there. \n\n \n \n Changes in Urine and Stool Color \n \n \n\n People with gallstones will have high levels of bilirubin in their blood. This is what causes the symptoms of changes in the color of urine and feces to become paler. This is because the stone has blocked and inhibited the flow of bile into the large intestine. \n\n \n \n Jaundice \n \n \n\n Jaundice is the appearance of a yellow color on the skin and mucous membranes, for example, on the whites of the eyes. This yellow discoloration of the skin and eyes is caused by a high concentration of bilirubin in the blood, which accumulates in the skin and mucous membranes of the body. \n\n \n \n Pain in the solar plexus \n \n \n\n These symptoms appear like digestive tract diseases in general. Tastes range from mild to heavy. The symptoms are indeed similar to gastric acid, but with gallstones, heartburn occurs more often. \n\n \n \n Nausea and vomiting \n \n \n\n Feelings of nausea and wanting to vomit also appear; this is because the stones that clog will cause digestive enzymes to flow and irritate them. This is what causes inflammation and swelling of the digestive tract, causing nausea and vomiting. \n\n \n \n Stomach ache \n \n \n\n These symptoms are not very specific but always appear in sufferers. If you only feel stomach pain, most people will not be aware of the formation of stones in the bile. However, if the symptoms of abdominal pain are accompanied by other symptoms, check with your doctor immediately to be sure. \n\n Prevention is better than cure; this saying is true. It is very important to keep the body healthy and avoid all diseases, including gallstones. One of them is to maintain a good and correct diet. \n\n In addition, understanding the symptoms of the disease more quickly will also speed up treatment for sufferers so that their condition does not worsen. So recognize the symptoms of gallstones early so that the right treatment can be done immediately. Consult with a surgeon at the nearest Hermina Hospital. Friends of Hermina can also consult online through the Halo Hermina application. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Let's Get to Know the Spirometry Test Closer<\/a><\/h3>
A basic physical examination is often not enough to determine the diagnosis of the disease. Investigations such as spirometry are needed, especially to detect lung disease. This examination is useful for measuring lung capacity and function as well as diagnosing certain lung diseases. \n\n The doctor will use an instrument called a spirometer to perform tests to evaluate the function and diagnose the condition of your lungs. A spirometry test is usually done in a hospital or doctor's office and takes about fifteen minutes to show the condition of the lungs, including the amount of air that can be inhaled and exhaled. In addition, spirometry can also be used for the diagnosis of various diseases of the respiratory system, including asthma, chronic bronchitis, pulmonary fibrosis, emphysema, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). \n\n Steps to Perform a Spirometry Test \n\n You are advised to avoid smoking and alcoholic beverages for about 24 hours before the spirometry examination. You are also advised to avoid strenuous exercise or eating large portions of food a few hours before the examination. \n\n Avoid wearing tight clothing when you are about to do a spirometry test. The doctor may also ask you to stop taking certain drugs for a while. \n\n The spirometry test is performed in the following order: \n\n You will be asked to sit in a location determined by the doctor. The doctor will then place a clip in your nose to cover both of your noses. Then, he will give you a pipe-like device and ask you to take a deep breath, hold your breath for a few seconds, and then exhale as hard as you can into the pipe. The doctor will usually ask you to repeat this technique three times to confirm the results. The doctor will assess your lung function after the examination and its results. \nThe doctor may give inhaled bronchodilators to widen the airway after the spirometry test is complete. About fifteen minutes later, the doctor will ask you to do another spirometry test. \nYour doctor will check the results of both tests to see how effectively the bronchodilator is improving your airway. This procedure can also cause side effects such as dizziness and sometimes shortness of breath. You don't need to worry because the doctor will continue to monitor your condition during and after the procedure. \n\n Conditions Requiring a Spirometry Test : \n\n 1. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) \n\n COPD is one of several health conditions that must be checked with a spirometry test. COPD is a lung disease caused by long-term inflammation that blocks airflow in the lungs, leading to coughing, shortness of breath, and wheezing. To assess the respiratory function of patients with COPD, spirometry is usually used every one to two years. \n\n 2. Asthma \n\n Asthma is a type of chronic disease that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways, causing shortness of breath and coughing. Respiratory or lung infections, allergies, exposure to pollution, and excessive anxiety can also cause asthma symptoms. \n\n 3. cystic fibrosis \n\n Cystic fibrosis is a genetic condition in which the lungs and digestive system become clogged with thick, sticky mucus. Symptoms of cystic fibrosis affecting the respiratory tract can include nasal congestion, wheezing, shortness of breath, and a prolonged cough with phlegm. \n\n 4. Lung fibrosis \n\n Pulmonary fibrosis disease occurs when lung tissue is damaged and scar tissue forms on it. This scar tissue makes the lungs stiffer, which impairs breathing. \n\n Spirometry tests can also be used by doctors to find out how severe your lung disease is or to assess how well your treatment method is responding. \n\n Immediately consult a doctor if you have breathing or lung problems. The doctor will carry out several tests, such as spirometry, physical examination of the lungs, X-rays, or CT scans of the lungs, to find out what disorder you are experiencing and the right type of medical therapy. \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Benefits of Routine Physiotherapy to Help Stroke Patients Recovery<\/a><\/h3>
Stroke is a condition that occurs when the blood supply to a part of the brain is reduced or disrupted as a result of a blockage (ischemic stroke) or rupture of blood vessels (hemorrhagic stroke). Strokes can occur suddenly and must be treated immediately. Without a blood supply, the brain will not get enough oxygen and nutrients, so cells in some areas of the brain will not function (die). \n\n \n\n Symptoms and Causes of Stroke \n\n Stroke generally occurs in a part of the body that is controlled by the area of the brain that is damaged. Symptoms that are commonly experienced by stroke sufferers include: \n\n \n Weakness on one side of the body (hemiparesis) \n Weakness in the facial muscles that makes one side of the face droop \n Difficulty raising both arms due to weakness or numbness \n Difficulty speaking \n Dysarthria \n Tingling \n Difficulty recognizing faces (prosopagnosia) \n \n\n The causes of stroke are generally divided into two: the first is due to a blood clot in a blood vessel in the brain, and the second is caused by a rupture of a blood vessel in the brain. \n\n Stroke Healing \n\n Stroke management is carried out according to the type of stroke the patient is currently experiencing. Actions that can be taken range from the administration of drugs to physiotherapy and surgery. To support the recovery process of stroke patients, doctors will usually recommend physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and psychological therapy. This all aims to restore the patient's body functions so that they can return to their normal activities. \n\n \n\n Physiotherapy Benefits \n\n Some of the benefits that Friends of Hermina can get from post-stroke physiotherapy treatment \n\n \n Reduce pain \n \n\n Not only do they have difficulty carrying out their daily activities, but stroke sufferers will also experience more pain. By doing physiotherapy, the pain will gradually improve, and it is hoped that this will relieve the pain. To overcome this pain, the therapist will use therapy using electrical stimulation, ultrasound, heat therapy, and others, depending on needs. \n\n \n Overcome muscle stiffness \n \n\n Several studies have proven that spasticity, or muscle stiffness, can be cured with physiotherapy. The doctor will evaluate the patient's condition and then determine what therapy program is suitable. The doctor will give advice regarding the lifestyle that must be followed, including an effective diet pattern to deal with muscle stiffness. \n\n \n Increase the ability to move the body \n \n\n One of the things that usually happens in stroke patients is the ability to move the body, such as walking, standing, smiling, moving hands, eating, talking, and others. By doing physiotherapy, this problem will gradually improve, and it is hoped that it will recover as before. Friends of Hermina can get physiotherapy at the nearest Hermina Hospital. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Often mistaken for a Stye, this is a Chalazion, a lump in the eye that makes you uncomfortable<\/a><\/h3>
Hermina's friend, Have you ever had a lump on your eyelid? Be careful; don't just think of it as a nodule. Yes, it could be a sign that your eyes are not doing well. The problem of lumps on the eyelids that are similar to nodules, one of which is chalazion, Chalazion itself is a swelling or lump that can occur on the eyelids; this lump is also sometimes referred to as an eyelid cyst or meibomian cyst. This lump starts with the accumulation of oil glands (meibomian), which slowly causes a blockage. At first, a lump will usually make the eye feel uncomfortable and can also be painful, but gradually the pain will decrease. \n\n \n\n Causes of Chalazion \n\n Chalazion is usually caused by inflammation that occurs in the oil (meibomian) glands in the eyelids. The meibomian glands are used by the eyes as a lubricant needed to moisturize and protect the eyes. Inflammation that occurs in the meibomian glands causes the lubricant produced to thicken and become a blockage in the meibomian gland ducts. In addition to blockages, infection can be one of the causes. \n\n \n\n Risk Factors \n\n Apart from being caused by a blockage or infection, several risk factors can cause Friends of Hermina to get chalazion, including : \n\n \n Suffering from skin diseases such as seborrheic dermatitis or acne rosacea. \n Experienced Kalazion before \n Suffering from TB (Tuberculosis) \n Suffering from inflammation of the eyelids \n \n\n \n\n Chalazion Symptoms \n\n Typical symptoms that occur with chalazion sufferers are usually marked by the appearance of a small lump on the upper eyelid, but it turns out that besides the lump that appears, there are several other symptoms that often occur, including : \n\n \n Watery eyes \n Swelling in the eye area \n Mild eye irritation (red eyes) \n An uncomfortable sensation in the eyes because there is a feeling of being stuck. \n Vision is out of focus if it occurs in a large enough circle. \n \n\n \n\n Chalazion Treatment \n\n In some conditions, chalazions can be treated independently at home. This is because chalazions can improve on their own after a few days or even weeks after a lump appears. Independent therapies that Hermina's friends can do at home include : \n\n \n Clean the eyelid area 1-2 times a day. \n Do a compress on the swollen eyelid area using warm water. \n Gently massage the lump to remove fluid from the lump. Make sure your hands are clean so they don't become infected. \n \n\n If the independent handler has been carried out but the situation has not improved, immediately do an examination with an ophthalmologist at the nearest Hermina Hospital. Friends of Hermina can also do an online consultation through the Halo Hermina application. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Are you familiar with the geriatric syndrome? View the Management Guide.<\/a><\/h3>
\nA syndrome is a collection of unique symptoms that appear simultaneously and are often brought on by a specific disease or health issue. Geriatrics is the term for elderly people. \n\n A group of symptoms known as geriatric syndrome affects the elderly and is typically caused by the same diseases or health issues. If geriatric syndrome is not adequately treated, it might reduce an elderly person's quality of life. \n \nAccording to Kane & Ouslander in Geriatric Giants (141), the following are signs of geriatric syndrome: \n\n 1. Immobility \n\n When you are immobile, you haven't moved for three days or more. Decubitus ulcers, which are wounds on the body where there are bony protrusions such as the back, buttocks, and heels due to pressure due to too long a lie down and difficult to heal, are one of many disorders that can be caused due to immobilization. This condition is frequently found in the elderly. Consult a physician to determine the causes of immobility so that they can be treated to maximize the mobility of the elderly. \n\n 2. Instability \n\n Rheumatic diseases, gout, osteoporosis, and other muscle and skeletal illnesses can all contribute to instability, as can illnesses of the brain system including Parkinson's disease and stroke sequelae. The results of this instability and falls may include fractures that might result in immobilization, head traumas, and intracranial hemorrhage (blood inside the head). \n\n 3. Incontinence urine \n\n A person who experiences incontinence is unable to control their bowel and urine movements. The muscles' deterioration, neurological conditions, irregular bladder contractions, and inadequate bladder emptying brought on by prostatic hypertrophy (enlargement) can all contribute to incontinence. \n\n 4. Irritable bowel \n\n Resulting in either diarrhea or impaction (constipation). The exact origin is unknown, but in some cases, large intestine smooth muscle issues are discovered. Stress, psychological illnesses, central nervous system disorders, and problems with intestinal sensory nerves are other potential causes. Consult a physician to assess contributing factors and control stress in order to reduce gastrointestinal problems. \n\n 5. Immunodeficiency \n\n The thymus' atrophy, a gland that generates T lymphocyte cells that are important for the body's defense, is just one of several factors that contribute to the immune system's deterioration as we age. Similar symptoms of the first infection include thinned skin and mucosa, as well as decreased reflexes to cough up and sneeze out foreign objects that enter the respiratory tract. All of these mechanisms make older people more susceptible to infectious diseases, which account for a major portion of elderly patients' medical needs. Exercise and consuming nutrient-rich, high-protein diets can help older people's immune systems function better. \n\n 6. Infection \n\n Reduced immunological function is one of the effects of the condition. For instance, substances that cause respiratory tract infections can be ejected with phlegm through the cough reflex, but due to the body's diminished capacity, these substances stay in the lungs and cause diseases like pneumonia (pulmonary infection), among others. Instead of the typical adult symptoms of fever, cough, shortness of breath, and leukocytosis (increased white blood cell count), pneumonia patients typically exhibit decreased appetite, weakness, and decreased consciousness, as well as incontinence and falls (caused by loss of consciousness). If an elderly person begins to exhibit signs of infection, such as decreased appetite, weakness, or diminished consciousness, you should take them to the doctor right away. \n\n 7. Iatrogenics \n\n Geriatric people frequently need to take a lot of medications because of their multipathologic characteristics. Negative effects and even fatal drug-drug interactions are among the consequences. Always seek medical advice before taking medication since older patients require extremely cautious and thoughtful drug administration. \n\n 8. Intellectual impairment \n\n From a reduction in the quantity of nerve cells (neurons) to conditions like diabetes mellitus that have an impact on metabolism. The brain is an organ that depends heavily on glucose for energy; thus, when there is a disturbance in the energy supply to the brain due to diabetes mellitus, the brain may receive less oxygen. By taking medicine as prescribed for conditions that need to be treated (such as diabetes and hypertension), this can be avoided. Families can assist the elderly in engaging in brain-training activities such as playing crossword puzzles together, reciting the Koran, accompanying them when they engage in their hobbies, and engaging in mild exercise so that memory is preserved. \n\n \n\n Consult a Hermina Soreang Hospital internal medicine specialist right away if you develop similar symptoms. \n \nTo make registration at Hermina Soreang Hospital easier, download the Hermina Mobile Apps app. \n \n \nReferensi : \n \n1.

Is it true that frequent anger causes hypertension?<\/a><\/h3>
Hypertension is often referred to as "the silent killer" because sufferers often do not have or feel complaints and then find out that they have experienced severe complications from hypertension. Hypertension is an increase in high blood pressure that increases the risk of diseases such as stroke, aneurysms, heart disease, and kidney damage. The condition of high blood pressure is said to be hypertension when there is an increase in systolic blood pressure of more than 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure of more than 90 mmHg. \n\n Causes of hypertension \nNearly 90% of primary or essential hypertension has no known cause, while there are many risk factors for hypertension, including a family history of hypertension, a poor lifestyle such as obesity, a lack of exercise, and other diseases such as cholesterol and diabetes. \n\n Can frequent anger cause blood pressure to increase? \nStress management is one of the ways to manage hypertension by controlling emotions. Anger caused by stress can cause blood pressure to temporarily increase. \n\n Hypertension can cause various kinds of diseases, ranging from strokes in the brain, retinopathy in the eyes, heart failure, or coronary heart disease, to damage to the leg veins. \n\n Symptoms of hypertension are often unknown to sufferers; many patients come with high blood pressure but do not feel any symptoms; some even come with severe complications. Therefore, it is very important to carry out routine health checks to detect hypertension earlier. So that early treatment can be avoided and the dangers of hypertension, the silent killer, can be avoided. \n\n Who is potentially affected by hypertension? \n\n \n \n Obese people \n \n \n People who have a lifestyle that doesn't include smoking, drinking alcohol, eating junk food, or foods that are high in salt \n \n \n Lack of movement or lack of activity and sports \n \n \n\n Tips for preventing hypertension \nTo prevent hypertension, of course we have to keep risk factors away. Here are some tips that Friends of Hermina can do: \n \n\n \n \n Control your weight so you don't get obese. \n \n \n Adjust your diet and consume balanced, nutritious food. \n \n \n Consume lots of vegetables and fruit. \n \n \n Reduce salt consumption. \n \n \n Exercise regularly \n \n \n Do not consume caffeine in excess. \n \n \n Control other factors, such as avoiding high cholesterol. \n \n \n Control stress \n \n \n Do blood pressure checks regularly, especially if you have a family history of hypertension. \n \n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>"); $('#div_next_link').html(" <\/a><\/span>");
