Rehabilitation for Sports Injuries<\/a><\/h3>
According to the Big Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI), exercise is a physical activity to strengthen and make the body healthy. Sports are divided into two categories: traditional sports and modern sports. \n\n \n Traditional sports \n \n\n \n Traditional sports are known as types of sports that originated from the ancestors of the Indonesian people. \n For example, sepak takraw, fort, gasing, gobak sodor, stilts, and so on. \n \n\n \n Modern sports \n \n\n \n Modern sports are sports that have standard rules and are competed professionally. \n We can find modern sports at various national and international sporting events, such as the SEA Games, Olympics, and so on. \n Examples of modern sports are football, table tennis, badminton, athletics, archery, and others. \n \n\n Exercise time should be every day in the morning and evening. Exercise should be done in open, pollution-free air or in a closed room where the room temperature can be regulated, and it should be done for a minimum of 30 minutes. \n\n Preparation for exercise should be carried out with a preliminary examination to determine a safe dose and suitable type of exercise to avoid injury. Warm up before exercising, and cool down after exercising for at least 10 minutes. In individuals with complaints such as frequent dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain, and diseases such as coronary heart disease, asthma, diabetes, hypertension, etc., the type and dosage of exercise must be consulted with a doctor first. \n\n Sports injuries are injuries that occur during or after playing sports. Different types of sports can produce different injuries with different symptoms and treatments. \n\n The most common sports injuries are: \n\n \n Sprain (sprain) A sprain is an injury that occurs when a joint moves beyond its normal range of motion. The most commonly affected locations are the ankles, wrists, and knees. \n Strains A strain is an injury that occurs due to excessive pulling or stretching of the muscles and tendons (the tissue that connects muscles to bones). The most commonly affected locations are the ankles, knees, and back. \n Broken bones A fracture is a break in the continuity of a bone due to pressure or impact with a force greater than the strength of the bone, which can be in the form of a crack (partially broken), completely broken, or fractured. \n Dislocation and subluxation Dislocation and subluxation are conditions when the bones in a joint shift or move out of their normal position. \n Shoulder injury Shoulder injuries are most often experienced in shoulder-dominant sports such as tennis, golf, swimming, and baseball. The cause of shoulder injuries is due to the load and frequent movement on the shoulders. \n Elbow injury Injuries to the elbow can occur in sports that require intense and repetitive elbow movements. \n Back injury The waist is one part of the body that is not immune to injury, especially in sports that involve a lot of work on the waist, such as cycling, golf, or lifting weights. \n Thigh injury Injuries to the thigh most often involve the hamstring muscles, namely the muscles located at the back of the thigh. This type of injury commonly occurs in sports that involve a lot of running activities, such as sprinting, basketball, and football. \n Knee injury The knee is one part of the body that is quite often injured. Not only because of the weight of the body, but knee injuries can also arise due to collisions or because of not being careful when exercising. \n Calf injury Just like thigh injuries, calf injuries more often involve muscles and tendons. The cause is excessive stretching and contraction of the muscles, which can cause tears. \n Ankle injury Injuries to the ankle can vary from sprains, dislocations, tendon tears, and bone fractures. \n \n\n First aid for sports injuries can be done using the RICE principle within the first 72 hours, namely: \n\n \n Rest means resting the injured part. \n Ice means giving an ice cube compress (wrapped in a cloth so it doesn't get too cold) for 5–10 minutes every hour. The use of cold temperatures aims to stop possible bleeding by shrinking blood vessels. \n Compression means applying pressure (usually bandaged—see picture) to the injured area to reduce swelling. \n Elevate means raising the injured part to a higher position when resting to reduce swelling and pain. \n \n\n Immediately consult a doctor if you experience the following signs: \n\n \n Swelling and pain get worse. \n visible lumps or changes in shape. \n A sound is heard when the joint is moved. \n Weakness and inability to carry out activities and support the body. \n loss of balance. \n Difficulty breathing. \n Fever. \n \n\n Severe sports injuries can require advanced treatment ranging from physical therapy to surgery. \n\n Download the Hermina Mobile Apps application to facilitate health access and registration at Hermina Arcamanik Hospital. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Dangers Behind Lower Back Pain<\/a><\/h3>
Lower back pain has, of course, been everyone's complaint. Most people consider lower back pain to be a common disease that will get better over time. Low back pain usually appears when we do heavy physical activity, but will lower back pain only get better? by leaving it alone? \n\n Low back pain (LBP), often interpreted as lower back pain, is a condition when there is pain or discomfort in the lower back. These symptoms are felt starting from the waist or lower back, which spreads to the lower crease of the buttocks and even spreads to the feet. If left unchecked, this condition will certainly disrupt daily activities. \n\n \n\n Reason \n\n There are several causes that can cause low back pain (LBP), including: \n1. Back or spine injury \n2. Spinal arthritis \n3. Herniated disc \n4. Obesity \n5. Age over 30 years \n6. Lifestyle \n7. Work (usually occurs in workers who sit for longer periods of time) \n\n \n\n Symptom \n\n Apart from the causes that often occur in sufferers of low back pain (LBP), there are several symptoms that are commonly felt, including: \n1. Stiffness in the waist or back \n2. Pain or soreness that feels sharp \n3. Burning pain, felt radiating from the lower back to the back of the thigh; in some cases, felt radiating to the lower leg or foot \n4. Numbness or tingling \n5. Difficulty standing up straight, walking, or changing positions from sitting to standing \n\n Apart from that, the symptoms of lower back pain also differ according to the level of severity, namely: \n\n \n Acute low back pain usually comes on suddenly and lasts for several days or weeks. This condition is considered the body's normal response to injury or tissue damage. The pain gradually subsides as the body heals. \n Subacute low back pain generally lasts between 6 weeks and 3 months and is usually mechanical (such as muscle tension or joint pain) but prolonged. At this point, a medical examination may be considered and is recommended if the pain is severe and interferes with activities. \n Chronic lower back pain: lasting more than 3 months, this type of pain is commonly severe, does not respond to initial treatment, and requires a thorough medical examination to determine the exact source of the pain. \n \n\n \n\n Treatment \n\n Low back pain will improve with bed rest, medication, installing braces (lumbar corsets), and physiotherapy; only around 1–2% require surgery. \nSurgery will be carried out, especially in conditions of herniation (HNP) or a decrease in the motor and sensory functions of the lower limbs. \nWhen it comes to lower back pain, physiotherapy is a treatment that is often recommended for all ages. The aim is to maintain, improve, and restore function and dependency if individuals experience impaired movement and function abilities or problems caused by physical damage. \nIn conditions of lower back pain, the role of physiotherapy is to reduce pain, increase the elasticity of the back muscles, and restore functional activities using the available modalities. \n\n Often, someone who has experienced lower back pain will experience it again later in life. This occurs due to weakness of the back and abdominal muscles after lower back pain. \nWeakness of the lower back muscles is what triggers pain later in the day. \nExercise therapy involves certain movements designed to retrain the strength of the back and abdominal muscles so that their elasticity returns. Movements or exercises are adjusted to the factors causing low back pain; inappropriate movements can worsen the sufferer's complaints and condition. \nConsult your complaints about lower back pain with a neurologist at the nearest Hermina Hospital. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Healthy Digital Strategy: 5 Ways to Prevent Stroke in the Age of Technology and Gadgets<\/a><\/h3>
Entering the digital age, gadgets have become an integral part of everyday life. However, ironically, with increased dependence on technology comes serious health threats, one of which is an increased risk of stroke. In this post, we will explore how maintaining a balanced use of technology can be the key to reducing the risk of stroke that can be caused by gadget addiction. \n\n 1. Identifying Signs of Gadget Addiction \n\n Many of us may not realize that we have been caught in a cycle of gadget addiction. Signs such as difficulty detaching from the screen, increased screen time, and negative impact on work or social relationships are early signals of the expansion of this problem. Knowing these signs is the first step to protecting yourself from the risk of stroke that can be caused by screen addiction. \n\n 2. Effects of Gadget Addiction on Heart Health \n\n Research shows that gadget addiction can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. Long periods of time spent in front of a screen can lead to a lack of physical activity, increased stress, and sleep disturbances - all factors that can directly affect stroke risk. \n\n \n Maintain a Balance between Gadgets and Physical Activity \n \n\n A simple yet effective solution to reduce the risk of stroke due to gadget addiction is to set a time limit on usage. Creating time for physical activity, such as walking or cycling, can help maintain the balance and lower the risk of stroke. \n\n \n Effective Time Management Techniques \n \n\n Implementing time management techniques is key to relieving gadget addiction. Setting usage time limits, using reminder features and creating a structured schedule are practical ways to limit screen exposure and improve life balance. \n\n \n Integrating Technology for Mental Health \n \n\n Conversely, technology can also be used as a tool to improve mental health. Meditation apps, sleep trackers, and rest reminder features can help create a balanced lifestyle, reduce stress, and in turn lower the risk of stroke. \n\n In an ever-digitally connected world, maintaining a balance in technology use is a must to protect heart health and reduce stroke risk. By recognizing the signs of gadget addiction, managing usage time, and utilizing technology to improve mental health, we can create a balanced lifestyle amidst the constant flow of information. By taking these preventive measures, we not only maintain our physical health but also keep ourselves away from the risk of stroke that may arise due to gadget addiction in this modern era. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Come on, get to know the Golden Period in Stroke Management<\/a><\/h3>
Come on, get to know the Golden Period in Stroke Management \n\n Stroke can be a cause of death and can result in lifelong disability. It is possible that a stroke can also have several long-term impacts on health and life. A good way to help minimize the risk of long-term disability or death is to provide treatment during the golden hour or golden period. But what is very unfortunate, not everyone knows this. This is why quite a few stroke sufferers end up experiencing permanent disability or even losing their lives. So, what is the meaning of the golden hour or golden period in treating stroke? \n\n The meaning of the Golden Period or Golden Hour in Stroke Treatment \n\n Strokesoccurs when the blood vessels that flow to the brain area burst or become blocked. As a result, blood flow is blocked and the brain no longer gets oxygen and important nutrients to work normally. This is like a machine in the body, functional abnormalities that occur in the brain can have a negative impact on health and endanger lives. This condition can affect speaking, hearing, movement, eating, and almost all vital processes. This is why the need to carry out proper stroke treatment during the golden hour is very crucial for the lives of stroke sufferers. Golden Hour or Golden Period is a term used for the life span of stroke sufferers through treatment as soon as possible. If a stroke sufferer receives medical assistance during this period, there is a big chance that he or she can survive stroke complications. In stroke sufferers, the golden hour period is four and a half hours (4.5 hours) after a person experiences stroke symptoms. Without quick treatment during that time, stroke sufferers are very likely to experience permanent brain damage. \n\n Characteristics of Stroke \n\n To better understand and learn the symptoms and preventive measures, the main thing you need to know is that stroke is divided into two types, namely ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. Ischemic stroke is caused by blockage or narrowing of blood vessels which leads to obstruction of blood flow. This blockage can increase due to the formation of clots or fat deposits that increasingly accumulate in the blood vessels. Meanwhile, hemorrhagic stroke is a type of stroke caused by rupture or leaking of blood vessels in the brain. This condition is caused by many things such as trauma, excessive consumption of blood thinning drugs, ischemic stroke, uncontrolled high blood pressure, and other factors. In order to more easily get a diagnosis for stroke, doctors determine a method for identifying this disorder, known as the FAST method, namely: \n\n \n F: Facial Dropping or an asymmetrical face \n A: Arm Weakness or Hands are weak or cannot be moved \n S: Speech difficulties or difficulty speaking \n T: Times which shows the patient's arrival at the hospital on time or a maximum of 4.5 hours after symptoms appear. \n \n\n Once a stroke has been identified, a very important step is to immediately carry out a brain scan with the help of a CT scan medical support tool. If the CT scan does not show any bleeding, blood clot-busting drugs can be given to dissolve the blood clot. \n\n \n\n How to Prevent Stroke \n\n On average, most strokes occur due to family health history or heredity. However, this does not mean that this health problem cannot be prevented. Here's how: \n\n \n Stay physically active by regularly exercising for at least 30 minutes \n Avoid or do not smoke at all and do not consume alcoholic beverages \n Causative risk factors such as high cholesterol, hypertension and diabetes should be identified and treated at an early stage and as soon as possible as these can be early signs of stroke. \n A healthy lifestyle helps keep the body fit and healthy. This includes adopting a healthy diet. Get enough sleep and be able to control stress well. \n \n\n Perform regular medical check-ups to anticipate stroke symptoms. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Do you know how meningitis is transmitted and prevented?<\/a><\/h3>
Menigitis is one of the most serious diseases. Because, this disease has claimed the lives of two artists Olga Syahputra and Glenn Fredly. \n\n Therefore, people must understand about this disease or the symptoms of meningitis. What does meningitis look like? \n\n Caused by viruses, bacteria, and fungi, meningitis can be transmitted from one person to another. That way, you need to know through what transmission of meningitis can occur. This is important to note because transmission can occur at any time and from anyone. \n\n Definition \n\n Meningitis is an inflammation of the membranes that protect the brain and spine. \n\n What causes it? \n\n Meningitis can be caused by viruses, bacteria or fungi. In children, it is most commonly found due to TB germs. \n\n Signs and symptoms \n\n \n Severe headache and sudden high fever (a frequent early symptom) \n Changes in level of consciousness \n Neck stiffness \n Appearance of confusion \n Excessive sensitivity to light and sound \n Seizures \n Rapid pulse, irregular breathing \n Vomiting \n Difficult to wake up \n \n\n Diagnosis of meningitis \n\n As soon as there is a suspicion of meningitis from the history and physical examination, an examination should be done immediately. \n\n \n Ct scan of the head, to confirm or rule out other causes (abscess, tumor, bleeding) \n Lumbar puncture, to find the cause of meningitis through examination of cerebro-spinal fluid. \n \n\n Complications \n\n Complications are more likely to occur if treatment is given late, not completed or the patient does not experience clinical improvement after the first week of therapy. Complications that may occur are \n\n \n Ventriculitis \n Hydrocephalus \n Hemorrhage \n Shock \n Electrolyte disturbances \n \n\n \nTreatment \n\n After determining the diagnosis, the doctor will provide meningitis treatment according to the cause of meningitis, namely \n\n \n administration of antibiotics or antiviral drugs. \n Surgery is performed if there are complications from meningitis. \n \n\n Prevention \n\n \n Maintain health \n If you suffer from otitis media or tuberculosis, take the medicine given. \n Vaccinate the child completely \n \n\n \n\n The later it is realized and detected, the longer the healing process. This is because the spread of the disease virus has been widespread. \nViruses and bacteria that cause meningitis will easily spread through the bloodstream and then move to the spinal cord to the brain. \n"Many accompanying factors can cause meningitis, not only based on decreased immunity. For example, a tooth infection that is not treated immediately can spread to the brain," he explained. \nIt is said that this disease can cause death due to inflammation or inflammation that causes swelling. Then it will make the brain mass increase. \nWhen one part of the brain increases in volume, it will cause an increase in pressure on the brain or called intracranial pressure. \nOf course, the brain is the center of everything for the body. If infection with a disease spreads, it will affect the coordination center. \nTherefore, he urged that if there are unusual and persistent symptoms, the public should immediately check themselves. This is an effort to detect diseases that may be dangerous. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

How to recognize the causes of epileptic seizures, symptoms and treatments<\/a><\/h3>
This disease can affect a person when there are changes or damage in the brain. As is known, there are neurons or nerve cells in the brain which are part of the nervous system. Each of these nerve cells will communicate with each other using electrical impulses. In the case of epilepsy, seizures occur when electrical impulses are generated in excess. \n\n 1. Definition \n\n Epilepsy: A brain disorder characterized by a tendency to produce continuous epileptic seizures, with neurobiological, cognitive, psychological, and social consequences. This definition requires the occurrence of at least 1 epileptic seizure. \nEpileptic seizure: A momentary onset of signs/symptoms due to abnormal and excessive neuronal activity in the brain. \n\n 2. Etiology \n\n The etiology of epilepsy can be divided into three categories, as follows: \nIdiopathic: no structural lesions in the brain or neurologic deficits. It is thought to have a genetic predisposition and is generally age-related. \nCryptogenic: considered symptomatic but the cause is unknown. These include West syndrome, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and myoclonic epilepsy. Clinical features are consistent with diffuse encephalopathy. \nSymptomatic: epileptic seizures caused by structural abnormalities/lesions of the brain, e.g. head injury, CNS infection, congenital abnormalities, space destructive lesions, cerebral circulatory disorders, toxic (alcohol, drugs), metabolic, neurodegenerative disorders. \n\n 3. Diagnosis \n\n Pre-, greeting, and post-awakening symptoms and signs: \n\n \n Before awakening / prodomal symptoms o Physical and psychological conditions that indicate an impending awakening, such as behavioral changes, feelings of hunger, sweating, hypothermia, drowsiness, sensitivity, and others. \n During awakening/ictal: o Is there an aura, symptoms felt at the beginning of the awakening? o What is the pattern/form of awakening, ranging from eye deviation, head movement, body movement, vocalization, aumatization, movement in one or both arms and legs, tonic/clonic awakening, incontinence, tongue biting, pallor, sweating, and others. (It would be better if the family can be asked to mimic the movement of the awakening or record a video during the awakening) o Is there more than one pattern of awakening? o Is there a change in pattern from the previous awakening o Activities of the person during the awakening, such as sleeping, awake, playing video games, micturition, and others. \n ∙Post-awakening/post-ictal: Confusion, immediate awareness, headache, sleep, restless noise, Todd's paresis. \n \n\n 4. Precipitating factors: fatigue, lack of sleep, hormonal, psychological stress, alcohol. \n5. Supportive examination: \n\n \n Electro-encephalographic examination (EEG) EEG recording is the most useful examination when a seizure is suspected to: o Help support the diagnosis o Help determine the type of seizure or syndromes of epilepsy o Help determine the prognosis o Help determine whether OAE should be given. \n Brain imaging examination Useful for detecting epileptogenic lesions in the brain. High-resolution MRI (at least 1.5 Tesla) can non-invasively diagnose various pathologic lesions such as mesial temporal sclerosis, glioma, ganglioma, cavernous malformation, DNET (dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor), tuberous sclerosis.4 Functional brain imaging such as Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) and Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) are useful in providing additional information on the impact of metabolic changes and regional blood flow changes in the brain associated with seizures.4 The indication for neuroimaging examination (CT scan of the head or MRI of the head) in cases of seizures is when the first unprovoked seizure appears in adulthood. The purpose of neuroimaging examination in this condition is to look for structural lesions that cause seizures. CT scan of the head is preferred for emergency cases, because the examination technique is faster. On the other hand, head MRI is preferred for elective cases. In terms of sensitivity in determining lesions in elective cases. In terms of sensitivity in determining structural lesions, MRI is more sensitive than CT scan of the head. \n Laboratory examination o Hematological examination This examination includes hemoglobin, leukocyte and type count, hematocrit, platelets, peripheral blood smear, electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium), blood sugar level, liver function (SGOT/SGPT), ureum, creatinine and albumin. - Initial treatment as one of the references in ruling out differential diagnosis and OAE selection - Two months after OAE administration to detect OAE side effects - Routinely repeated every year to monitor OAE side effects, or if clinical symptoms arise due to OAE side effects. \n \n\n 6. Therapy \n\n THE GOALS OF THERAPY The main goal of epilepsy therapy is to enable the person with epilepsy to live a normal life and achieve an optimal quality of life for his or her disability. The expectation is "generation-free, without side effects". To achieve this goal, several efforts are needed, including side / with minimal side effects, reducing morbidity and mortality. \n \n\n \n \n\n Sumber : Pedoman Tatalaksana Epilepsi.

Deep Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS). Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment in Indonesia<\/a><\/h3>
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common disorder of the hand and wrist caused by compression of the median nerve in the wrist. In the Indonesian health context, CTS is also found significant, showing a noteworthy prevalence level. \n\n According to data from the Indonesian Ministry of Health, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is one of the musculoskeletal disorders whose prevalence is increasing. Factors such as excessive workload, inappropriate body posture, and the use of modern technological tools can trigger an increase in CTS cases in Indonesian society. \n\n Carpal Tunnel Syndrome symptoms can range from mild to severe and often come on slowly. Common signs include tingling or numbness in the fingers, especially the index, middle, ring, and little fingers. Sufferers may also experience pain or numbness that radiates to the upper arm. \n\n In treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, a therapeutic method that is increasingly receiving attention is Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS). Studies documented in various Health Journals show that the use of TENS is effective in relieving symptoms and improving the quality of life for CTS sufferers in Indonesia. \n\n TENS works by sending weak electrical impulses through electrodes placed around the affected area. At the right level, this therapy can reduce pain, and inflammation, and improve blood circulation around the wrist, having a positive effect on healing CTS. \n\n It is important to note that the increasing prevalence of CTS emphasizes the importance of a holistic treatment approach. TENS therapy can be part of a comprehensive treatment plan, along with adjustments to daily activities, ergonomics, and physiotherapy. \n\n However, before starting TENS therapy, consult a healthcare professional to assess the suitability of this method for the individual's health condition. With appropriate treatment and various integrated approaches, we can reduce the impact of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in Indonesia and improve people's welfare. Further research is needed to explore in depth the effectiveness of TENS in the context of specific health conditions in Indonesia. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

HNP ( Herniated Nucleus Pulposus )<\/a><\/h3>
A hernia of the nucleus pulposus (HNP) is a condition when the vertebral cushions shift and press on the spinal nerves, which is more commonly known as a 'pinched nerve'. \nThe complaints experienced depend on the area experiencing HNP; it can be from the neck to the waist, where 95% occur in the area of the waist down. Common complaints include pain, tingling, or muscle weakness. \n\n One of the causes of HNP is an impact on the spine. In old age, the flexibility of the spine decreases, making it more vulnerable to injury. Other factors that play a role include excess body weight, wrong body movement positions, or family history. \n\n Apart from physical examinations, supporting examinations that can be carried out to diagnose HNP can be done with MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) to see the condition of the spine. \n\n 1. Non-operative management of HNP patients can include: \nActivity modification: the goal is to resume normal daily activities at a tolerable level of pain or discomfort without increasing strain. \n\n 2. Medicines \n\n 3. Physical therapy or exercise: exercise during the first month of symptoms may be beneficial and, at the same time, minimize the weakness that can occur due to inactivity. Low-stress exercises such as swimming, walking, and cycling are also recommended. \n\n Operative treatment If there is no improvement, one alternative that can be done is PLDD (percutaneous laser disc decompression). \n\n PLDD is a minimally invasive procedure using a bone pad (disc) reduction method using a laser beam aimed at the bone pad that is protruding. The advantages of this procedure include local anesthesia, no surgery, and fast treatment. \n\n Paraphrase \n\n \n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Beware of Signs and Symptoms of Stroke<\/a><\/h3>
Stroke, according to WHO, is the presence of focal or global neurological deficits due to impaired brain function that occurs suddenly, lasts > 24 hours or death, caused solely by cerebral vascular disorders, including eye and spinal cord stroke. Broadly speaking, stroke can be divided into obstruction stroke and hemorrhage stroke. Each year in Indonesia there are an estimated 550,000 new cases of stroke, and is the third leading cause of death in Indonesia after cardiovascular and cancer, and is a major cause of disability. \n\n Stroke is caused by many risk factors that are divided into modifiable (hypertension, diabetes, heart rhythm disorders and heart valve disease, blood disorders, excess cholesterol, contraceptive pills, smoking, alcohol, obesity) and non-modifiable (age, race, gender, previous stroke) risk factors. \n\n Stroke events are very important to know the signs and symptoms by patients, family, friends, and the surrounding community because stroke events are emergency events that must be immediately taken to the hospital for immediate treatment to prevent death and disability in patients. Signs and symptoms of stroke that can be recognized by the general public are abbreviated as "F.A.S.T warning sign". \n\n F.A.S.T warning sign consists of: \n\n - F = Face Drooping - Is one side of the face asymmetrical or numb? Ask the patient to smile, is the smile asymmetrical? \n\n - A = Arm Weakness - Does one side of the arm experience weakness or numbness? Ask the patient to raise both arms, does one side of the arm appear to be falling downwards? \n\n - S = Speech Difficulty - Does the patient appear to have difficulty speaking/speech slurred? \n\n - T = Time to call 911 - If 1 of the above is yes, then the patient should be taken to the nearest hospital immediately. \n\n Other signs and symptoms of stroke that should be considered besides those mentioned above are: \n\n - Sudden weakness or numbness of the face, arm or leg on one side of the body. \n\n - Sudden loss of consciousness, difficulty speaking or difficulty understanding speech and commands. \n\n - Sudden difficulty seeing in one or both eyes. \n\n - Double vision, momentary darkness, numbness around the mouth, ringing in the ears, difficulty swallowing, choking, nasal voice that occurs suddenly. \n\n - Difficulty walking, dizziness, sudden loss of balance. \n\n - Sudden onset of headache. \n\n - Sudden spraying of vomit. \n\n - Seizures. \n\n If there are symptoms and signs as mentioned above, family, friends, coworkers, and the surrounding community should immediately bring the patient to the hospital without delay, and the patient is immediately treated / referred to a neurologist so that the mortality rate and disability rate can be reduced and reduced. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

“Segera Ke RS” Helps Faster Stroke Recovery<\/a><\/h3>
Hermina's friends must be familiar with stroke. Stroke is a condition where rapidly developing clinical signs are found in the form of focal or global neurological deficits, which can be severe, last for 24 hours or more, or cause death without any cause. something other than vascular. \n\n Stroke itself occurs because the brain does not receive a blood supply that carries oxygen, so the cells die. Strokes can be divided into obstruction strokes and bleeding strokes. The general public often recognizes them as severe and mild strokes, or even as symptoms of stroke. \n\n In fact, any type of stroke is a serious disease and needs good treatment, because if it is not treated, a mild stroke will turn into a major stroke after repeated strokes, as well as stroke symptoms, which are said to heal on their own. \n\n Stroke treatment varies depending on the type of stroke, when the stroke patient is recognized, and when the stroke patient can seek treatment. Whatever the type of stroke, the sooner a stroke patient can be treated, the greater the chance that the patient will recover completely. The smaller the risk of the patient having another stroke, the smaller the risk of death from stroke. \n\n The ideal treatment for stroke patients is less than 3 hours after the stroke or sooner. Even if it's been 3 hours of stroke treatment in 1 day, 1-3 weeks, the incidence of stroke can vary, and the longer you wait to be treated properly, the smaller the chance of complete recovery, the greater the possibility of the stroke happening again and causing death. \n\n It is not uncommon for stroke symptoms to go unrecognized and stroke patients to arrive for a long time with inappropriate treatment. Even though a stroke is a "brain attack," which is as dangerous as a heart attack, Therefore, it is very important for Friends of Hermina to recognize the symptoms of stroke quickly and immediately take the patient for treatment at a facility that can treat stroke well. \n\n \n\n Factors Causing Stroke \n\n Several factors that cause strokes that cannot be prevented include: \n\n 1. Age over 55 years \n\n 2. Male gender \n\n 3. Race \n\n 4. Genetic \n\n 5. History of stroke \n\n Several factors that cause strokes that can be prevented include: \n\n 1. Increased blood pressure \n\n 2. Obesity \n\n 3. High blood sugar levels \n\n 4. Bad diet \n\n 5. High cholesterol \n\n 6. Smoking \n\n 7. Alcohol consumption \n\n There are many ways for ordinary people to recognize the symptoms of stroke; one of the most popular is a collection of symptoms abbreviated as "Soon to Hospital": \nSe = asymmetrical smile, \nGe = movement of one side of the body is weakened. \nRa = slurred speech or difficulty speaking, \nKe = numbness on one side of the body, \nR = myopic \nS = headache \n\n "The sooner you receive treatment, the more stroke sufferers can be helped and reduce the risk of death or permanent disability." \n\n By recognizing stroke symptoms early, the results of stroke treatment will be more optimal.

Be alert: 4 causes of stroke at a young age<\/a><\/h3>
Stroke is a functional brain disorder that occurs suddenly with clinical signs and symptoms that last more than 24 hours. A stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is disrupted or reduced, which, if we look at the causes, can be divided into two categories: a blockage called ischemic stroke and a rupture of blood vessels called hemorrhagic stroke. \n\n We usually think that strokes only attack old people. It turns out that nowadays more and more people of productive age, even children and teenagers, are experiencing strokes. \n\n Stroke can be caused by various factors, including risk factors passed down in the family, such as hypertension or an unhealthy lifestyle. Here are some causes of stroke at a young age that you need to know: \n\n 1. Hypertension \n\n Increased blood pressure is one of the causes of stroke. High blood pressure can cause brittle blood vessel walls, which can lead to blood vessel rupture. \n\n 2. Head injury \n\n A hard enough blow to the head can form blood clots in the head. This condition can cause brain concussions and disrupt the immune system and blood cells, which can lead to stroke. \n\n 3. Sickle Cell Anemia \n\n Sickle cell anemia originates from a genetic disorder at birth, with the red blood cells being shaped like a crescent moon. This condition causes the blood vessels to lose their supply of healthy blood and oxygen to flow throughout the body. Blood and oxygen supplies that are not delivered properly, especially to the head, can cause strokes. \n\n 4. High cholesterol \n\n An increase in bad cholesterol (low density lipoprotein/LDL) in the blood can cause plaque to build up in the brain's blood vessels, which can cause atherosclerosis (blockage or narrowing of the blood vessels). This condition requires immediate treatment because it can cause strokes or other diseases. \n\n Stroke triggers in old age can be different from young people. What are the factors that can cause stroke at a young age? \n\n 1. Unhealthy Lifestyle \n\n Unhealthy lifestyles such as smoking, consuming alcohol, and using illegal drugs, apart from damaging health and lowering the immune system, can also trigger the characteristics of stroke at a young age. In addition, an unhealthy lifestyle at a young age can lead to decreased health and quality of life later in life. \n\n 2. Heart Disease \n\n If you previously had a history of heart disease, your body will be more susceptible to stroke. Heart disease such as coronary heart disease, rheumatic heart disease, or heart defects can increase the risk of having a stroke. \n\n 3. Blood Clotting Disorders \n\n Hemophilia, or a congenital disorder that can make it difficult for blood to clot, is an example of a blood clotting disorder that may occur. This condition causes a person to bleed easily. If it occurs in the brain, the person can experience a hemorrhagic stroke. \n\n Preventing strokes is an important step that can be taken to avoid experiencing them both at a young and old age. Some things you can do include living a healthy lifestyle, exercising regularly, and checking your health regularly by doing medical check-ups. Don't hesitate to consult with the nearest RSU Hermina doctors to obtain a proper diagnosis and medical treatment. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Identify Red Flag Conditions In Low Back Pain ( Low Back Pain )<\/a><\/h3>
Low back pain (LBP) is pain felt in the lower back area, it can be local pain, radicular pain or a mixture of both. This pain is felt between the corners of the lowest ribs and the lower crease of the buttocks, namely in the lumbar or lumbosacral area and can be accompanied by the spread of pain towards the legs and feet (PPK Neurology, 2016) \n\n Low back pain is a symptom that can be caused by various abnormalities, both known and unknown; and is defined from its location, namely between costae XII and the buttock crease. This pain is often accompanied by pain in one or both legs and is associated with neurological symptoms in the lower extremities. This condition often occurs together with other conditions such as psychological, social and biophysical conditions so that it has an impact on the pain delivery process and the individual's pain experience (Cahya et al., JPHV 2021). \n\n Low back pain can be classified according to its onset, namely acute low back pain (< 6 weeks), subacute (6 weeks – 3 months) and chronic (> 3 months). Lower back pain can be caused by infectious conditions, degenerative conditions, neoplasms, trauma, congenital disorders, metabolic diseases, and autoimmunity. Of the various etiologies, the most common cause of lower back pain is mechanical causes such as trauma to the vertebrae, discs and surrounding soft tissue. The second biggest cause is due to degenerative processes such as osteoarthritis and osteoporosis (Cahya et al., JPHV 2021). \n\n Risk factors for lower back pain include excessive physical activity over a long period of time, stress and anxiety, lifting heavy weights regularly, being overweight and obese, and sitting for long periods of time. Based on the cause, low back pain can be divided into specific low back pain, radicular syndrome and nonspecific low back pain. The most cases in primary health facilities are nonspecific low back pain (90-95% of cases) which is often caused by mechanical disorders and degenerative conditions in the musculoskeletal system (Cahya et al., JPHV 2021). \n\n Red flags low back pain if lower back pain occurs at age under 18 years, age over 50 years, use of anticoagulants, fever, infection, malignancy, genitourinary symptoms (urinary retention or sexual dysfunction), immunocompromise, IV narcotics, history of recent actions -recently or epidural injection. (Cahya et al., JPHV 2021). \n\n Considering the various etiologies and disease burden of low back pain, it is necessary to make a correct and accurate diagnosis so that patients immediately receive therapeutic treatment appropriate to their condition (Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences. 2021). The goal of low back pain therapy is to eliminate pain, inhibit progression and increase activity and mobility to improve the patient's function in life and the disabilities that can be caused by this condition. All therapy modalities must be based on recommendations not to do bed rest, remain active and carry out daily activities as usual (Cahya et al., JPHV 2021). \n\n Pharmacological therapy, physiotherapy or medical rehabilitation, psychiatric therapy, alternative therapy and pain intervention therapy are relevant therapeutic options. Treatment for LBP is different for each individual, not all patients show the same response to treatment, and not all pain intervention therapies will be effective for all patients. (Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences. 2021). \n\n Signs that must be watched out for in patients with lower back pain are the presence of red flags where if there are the components that have been mentioned, the patient must get referral and therapy immediately. \n\n Hermina Balikpapan Hospital with specialist polyclinic service facilities such as Neurology, Orthopedics and Traumatology as well as Physical Medicine and Medical Rehabilitation and equipped with the necessary examination facilities (Xray, CTScan and Laboratory) can be an option to get immediate treatment regarding low back pain complaints. pain ). \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>"); $('#div_next_link').html(" <\/a><\/span>");
