An important method to increase the chances of recovery for stroke patients<\/a><\/h3>
Stroke is a neurological deficit caused by reduced blood supply to brain tissue which leads to several medical complications. This disorder can be the result of blockage (ischemic stroke) or rupture of blood vessels (hemorrhagic stroke). Thus, brain tissue does not get enough oxygen and nutrients, so that neurological function is disrupted and can cause various complications. Hyperacute stroke is the critical period of the first 4.5 hours after a stroke which is an emergency medical condition. In this period, timely medical intervention can minimize brain damage and increase the patient's chances of recovery. \n\n What is Code Stroke? \nCode stroke is a protocol implemented in hospitals to speed up the treatment of hyperacute stroke patients. This protocol involves a multidisciplinary team working together to promptly diagnose and treat stroke patients. \n\n Purpose of Code Stroke \nSpeeds up the time to diagnosis and treatment of stroke. \nIncreases the chances of recovery for stroke patients. \nReduces the risk of disability and death from stroke. \n\n Code Stroke Steps \n\n \n Stroke code activation is carried out when a patient with suspected stroke comes to the hospital. \n Initial assessment: The code stroke team will perform a physical and neurological examination to diagnose stroke. \n Supporting examinations: Supporting examinations such as a CT scan or MRI are carried out to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other possible causes. \n Administration of thrombolytic drugs: If the patient meets the criteria, intravenous thrombolysis may be administered to dissolve the blood clot and increase the chances of recovery. \n Monitoring and treatment: The patient will be monitored and treated in the stroke intensive care unit after administration of intravenous thrombolysis. \n \n\n What is Intravenous Thrombolysis? \nIntravenous thrombolysis is a procedure of administering medication through an IV to dissolve blood clots that cause ischemic stroke. This procedure should be performed within 4.5 hours of stroke onset to maximize the patient's chances of recovery. \n\n Intravenous Thrombolysis Contraindications \nIntravenous thrombolysis should not be administered to patients with: \n\n \n History of intracranial hemorrhage \n Head trauma in the last 3 months \n Hemorrhagic stroke \n Severe hypertension (diastolic > 180 mmHg) \n Blood coagulation disorders \n Allergy to thrombolytic drugs \n \n\n Benefits of Intravenous Thrombolysis \nIntravenous thrombolysis may provide the following benefits: \n\n \n Increases the chances of recovery of neurological function \n Reduces the risk of disability \n Reduces the risk of death \n \n\n Risk of Intravenous Thrombolysis \nIntravenous thrombolysis may pose the following risks: \n\n \n Intracranial hemorrhage \n Allergic reaction \n Hypotension \n Nausea and vomiting \n The Importance of Quick Handling \n \n\n Treating hyperacute stroke within 4.5 hours is critical to maximizing the patient's chances of recovery. Code stroke and intravenous thrombolysis are two important methods to increase the chances of recovery for stroke patients. Delaying treatment can increase the risk of permanent brain damage and disability. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Can patients with chronic kidney disease fast ? <\/a><\/h3>
\n \nFor Muslims all over the world, the holy month of Ramadan is the most anticipated. Every Muslim is obliged to abstain from all desires, including not eating and drinking, for those who are deemed capable of doing so. \n \nPatients who generally should not fast, i.e. those suffering from acute kidney disease, uncontrolled hypertension, swelling throughout the body, excessive moisture, severe metabolic disorders, rapidly progressive chronic renal disease in stage 3, chronic kidney diseases due to diabetes (eLFG <45), recurrent kidney stones, chronic disease of the kidney in stage 4 or higher, dialysis ( HD dan CAPD). Claw kidneys don't work, polypharmacy. \nAnd then, what about the chronic kidney disease, is it possible to fast? Chronic Kidney Disease Risk category for fasting 3 categories, namely: 1.Low risk - ongoing (chronic kidney disease Stage 1-3 with stable kidney function) 2.High risk (Chronic Kidney disease Stadium 1-3 with unstable renal function, abnormal electrolytes, risk of dehydration) 3.Very high risk (Cronic kidney diseases Stage 4-5, depending on residual kidney functions factors, fluid balance, potassium levels, patients HD and CAPD, chronic kidneys disease stage 3-5 and history of coronary disease, patients with pregnant chronic renal disease) For those at high risk and very high risk there is exploration of alternative options, i.e. short-day fasting (in winter) or paying a ransom. \nPatients with HD and CAPD can still fast by considering several factors: 1.Rest renal function (still there is urine) 2.Liquid balance 3.Calium level 4.Motivation and Compliance Drinking Medicine \n \nCAPD patients who intend to fast, there are steps to be taken 1. Consultation with a Disease Specialist Within 1 month before fasting to be assessed: clinical patients (excess fluids, malnutrition), laboratory (potassium, albumin), changes in fluid exchange schedule, medication schedule, nutritional needs. 2.Requirements to patients: fluid intake, Eating low potassium foods, Avoid constipation, monitor blood pressure and Weight \n \nClinical recommendations for patients who wish to fast: 1. Fasting should be cancelled, if plasma creatinine increases 30% above the baseline and or if there are clinical symptoms due to changes in serum potassium and sodium levels 2. Patients should be monitored during Ramadan and should recognize some alarm symptoms such as weight gain (>2 kg from the start), swelling, shortness of breath, dizziness, anorexia, fatigue, weakness or weakening 3.Body weight, blood pressure, biochemical parameters such as electrolytes (Sodium and Potassium) should be checked regularly throughout Ramadan. \n \nFor Friends Hermina who still want to need more information about Chronic Kidney Disease and so on, can directly consult with the Doctor Specialist Internal Diseases at the Hospital Hermina Samarinda. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The effect of type 1 diabetes on children's teeth and mouth<\/a><\/h3>
The influence of diabetes on children's teeth and mouth needs to be watched out for. As quoted from the American Dental Association website, poor blood sugar regulation makes children with diabetes more susceptible to various dental and oral problems. \n\n Objective \n\n Knowing the effect of diabetes on children's oral health. \nKnow how to treat and prevent oral disease in children with diabetes. \nCaring for and maintaining healthy teeth is very important because various dental diseases will arise. It is important to know the symptoms and characteristics of unhealthy teeth and gums. Below is the definition in the medical world of healthy and unhealthy teeth as follows: \n\n Healthy Gums are gums that look firm, bright pink, and are turgid and without bleeding. Vaginal discharge, dark color, and even bleeding or the presence of bruised gums are symptoms of several diseases or infections of the gums. To maintain healthy teeth and gums, regularly brush your teeth at night before going to bed and maintain your eating and drinking habits, so that your food is not too sweet and your drinks are not too hot or cold. \nGingivitis (inflammation of the gums) is a condition that occurs due to inflammation of the gums which is characterized by swelling and redness of the gums around the base of the teeth. The cause of Gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) is initially the accumulation of food residue on the teeth and gums. The accumulated food residue then hardens and turns into plaque. \nPeriodontitis is a gum infection that damages teeth, soft tissue and the bone that supports teeth. Periodontitis is a complication of untreated gum inflammation (gingivitis). If this condition occurs in the long term, the tissue around the gums and teeth will be damaged, causing tooth loss. Because teeth that have been attacked by gingivitis and are not treated immediately result in infection of the gums and cause bacteria, the gums become swollen and pus appears in the gums. \nThe causes of unhealthy teeth and gums are: \n\n 1. Saliva production decreases \n\n 2. Bacteria and acid easily stick to teeth and gums \n\n 3. Occurrence of gingivitis \n\n 4. Abscesses on the gums, loose teeth and bad breath \n\n Apart from that, make sure to maintain good dental hygiene, namely brush your teeth regularly at least twice a day. Drinking lots of water can also help avoid the risk of bad breath in people with diabetes so that the mouth and throat do not dry out. Check your child's dental health at the nearest pediatric dentist \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Recognize early and fight breast cancer<\/a><\/h3>
Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that attacks the breast as a result of uncontrolled cell growth. \n\n The people at risk of breast cancer are: \n\n \n Early menstruation (over 12 years) and late menopause (over 50 years) \n First pregnancy at the age of 35 years \n Not breastfeeding \n Long-term use of oral contraceptives \n Unhealthy lifestyle \n Genetic factors Recognize early and fight breast cancer. \n \n\n Apart from the above, there are risk factors that can be avoided to prevent breast cancer by doing several things, such as: \n\n \n Maintain your weight. \n Exercise regularly; \n Get enough sleep; \n Limit alcohol. \n Breastfeeding \n \n\n You should be aware of the early signs and symptoms of breast cancer, namely: \n\n \n A lump appears and does not cause pain. \n The surface of the breast seems to be pulled \n There is a concave surface. \n The discharge from the breast may contain blood and be yellow and purulent. \n The surface of the breast is red. \n Changes in skin color \n \n\n The way to detect breast cancer is with the BSE method (self-breast examination) because it is easy, can be done at home, and no equipment is needed. \n\n Steps that can be used to detect breast cancer early include: \n\n \n In front of the mirror, raise your hand and check whether there is redness or swelling in the breast. \n Place your hands on your waist and examine your breasts as in Step 1. \n Press the breast from top to bottom and feel for any lumps. \n Press the breast in circles and feel for any lumps. \n Press the breast towards the nipple and see if any fluid comes out. \n Lie down and press the breasts again in circles. \n \n\n BSE is done at the age of 20 years or since menstruation, every month, on the 7–10th day after the first day of menstruation. \n\n For those who have gone through menopause, do it every month on the same date. Treatment can be non-surgical, namely radiation and chemotherapy, as well as surgery with the removal of the breast tumor. \n\n Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that attacks the breast as a result of uncontrolled cell growth. If not treated early and appropriately, breast cancer can spread to surrounding organs. For this reason, we must regularly examine the breasts so that if there are any abnormalities, they can be treated immediately. \n\n Download the Hermina Mobile Apps application to facilitate health access and registration at Hermina Arcamanik Hospital. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

What is Colic Abdomen ?<\/a><\/h3>
What is abdominal colic? \n\n Abdominal colic is severe pain due to obstruction of a hollow organ in the human body, which usually occurs in the internal organs of the stomach. Colic is pain with very high intensity accompanied by accompanying symptoms such as cold sweat, heartburn, nausea and even vomiting. It is not uncommon for someone experiencing colic to seek help from a hospital emergency department because the pain is severe. The most common cause of abdominal colic is obstruction of the urinary tract in both the kidneys and ureters by stones. \n\n \n\n Character of renal and ureteric colic pain \n\n Patients with renal or ureteral colic usually present with complaints of severe pain in the waist that radiates to the stomach or groin. Pain is usually sudden, not influenced by activity or body movement caused by stretching of the kidney capsule and ureteral peristalsis. Accompanying symptoms such as cold sweat, heartburn, nausea and vomiting may also occur. \n\n \n\n What causes renal and ureteral colic? \n\n The cause of renal and ureteral colic is blockage of the smooth muscle channels from the kidneys to the ureters and stretching of the kidney capsule due to obstruction of urine flow. Blockages are most often caused by stones, but other causes such as tumors and smooth muscle spasms can also play a role. \n\n \n\n What is first aid for colic? \n\n If you experience severe pain that originates from within the stomach, the first step you can take is to take non-steroidal analgesic drugs which can be purchased freely at pharmacies or drug stores. If the pain does not improve, immediately seek help from the nearest hospital emergency room, you may need an analgesic injection into a blood vessel. \n\n \n\n The next step after colic is resolved \n\n After the colic has been resolved, you need a supporting examination in the form of a complete urine examination, routine blood, urea, creatinine (to estimate kidney function) and abdominal ultrasound. If there is a suspicion that there is a blockage in the urinary tract, a non-contrast urography CT scan should be done to determine the cause of the blockage (stones or non-stone). \n\n \n\n What should I do if there are stones in my urinary tract? \n\n As time goes by, urinary tract stones can be removed with non-surgical therapy or minimally invasive surgical therapy with small or no wounds. \n\n Urinary tract stones have different treatments according to the location and size of the stone, but in general stones measuring less than 5 mm can pass spontaneously with lots of drinking and the help of medication. Large kidney stones (more than 2 cm) can be treated with percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL) with small incisions in the skin or open surgery. For kidney stones under 2 cm, extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) can be performed with shock waves focused directly on the kidney and without incisions. \n\n For large ureteral stones and heavy blockages, laparoscopic or open surgery can be performed, for medium to small sized stones ESWL or endoscopic stone splitting (URS) can be performed. \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Getting to Know Electrocauterization Closer: Recent Innovations in Modern Surgery<\/a><\/h3>
Medical technology continues to develop over time, and one of the innovations that dominates the world of modern surgery is electrocauterization. Electrocauterization is a medical device that uses electrical energy to cut or coagulate body tissue during a surgical procedure. This article will explain more about electrocauterization, how it works, and its benefits in the medical world. \n\n 1. How Electrocauterization Works \n\n Electrocauterization works by converting electrical energy into heat, which is used to cut or coagulate tissue. This device consists of electrodes connected to an electrical source and can be used in a variety of surgical applications. There are two main types of electrocautery: monopolar and bipolar. In monopolar electrocautery, an electric current passes through body tissue and returns to the power source via a grounding electrode placed elsewhere on the patient's body. Meanwhile, bipolar electrocautery uses two electrodes that work together in a certain area, reducing the risk of damage to surrounding tissue. \n\n 2. Applications of Electrocauterization in Surgery: \n\n Electrocauterization is used in a variety of surgical procedures, including orthopedic surgery, plastic surgery, gynecology, and general surgery. This tool is effective for cutting soft tissue, stopping bleeding, and removing tumors or lesions with high precision. The use of electrocauterization has helped reduce trauma to patients, reduce surgery time, and speed up the healing process. \n\n 3. Benefits of Electrocauterization: \n\n \n reduces the risk of bleeding. \n \n\n Electrocauterization can help reduce the risk of bleeding during surgery. By using an electrocautery device, an electric current is applied to the affected tissue, so that the heat produced will cause coagulation and clotting in the torn or damaged blood vessels. In this case, the use of an electrocautery can be effective in reducing the risk of bleeding by stopping blood flow from injured vessels without the need for open surgery. \n\n \n Speeds up the healing process \n \n\n Electrocauterization can also speed up the wound healing process. When used on injured tissue, the heat generated by electrocautery has a stimulating effect on the skin cells and surrounding tissue. This can increase blood flow to the affected area and stimulate the growth of new tissue. \n\n \n It helps prevent infection. \n \n\n Electrocauterization has the ability to help prevent infection in wounds. When electrocautery is used, the heat generated by it can kill any pathogenic bacteria or microorganisms that may be present in the wound area. These bacteria and microorganisms are often a source of infection and can hinder the healing process. By utilizing heat from electrocautery, the growth and spread of bacteria can be controlled, so the risk of infection is reduced significantly. \n\n \n Improved Appearance \n \n\n Electrocauterization can help improve the appearance of the skin by removing moles, dark spots, scar tissue, or warts. By applying electrical energy through a small probe, electrocautery burns and damages the tissue to be removed, allowing for a better healing process and producing a cosmetically better appearance. \n\n Electrocauterization is an innovative tool that plays an important role in the advancement of modern surgery. With its ability to provide high precision, rapid hemostasis, and a shorter recovery time, electrocauterization has become one of the irreplaceable tools in various medical procedures. As time goes by, it is hoped that electrocauterization technology will continue to develop to provide better and more efficient solutions in the world of surgery. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

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>

Want Always Healthy Eyes? Here are the tips!<\/a><\/h3>
Sahabat Hermina, the eyes are a very important organ for humans. Maintaining eye health can prevent you from various risks of eye disease and even loss of vision. \n\n Tired eyes are usually characterized by soreness around the eyes and a dry feeling that makes vision blurry in some people. Apart from tired eyes, there are many other eye problems that can arise if you don't pay attention or maintain good eye health. \n\n To maintain good eye sight, Hermina's Friends can do the following tips: \n\n \n Maintain Your Diet \n \n\n Daily food intake can actually affect eye health. So that your sense of sight is always healthy, try to regularly consume lots of foods that contain vitamins C and E, omega-3 fatty acids, iron and lutein. These various nutrients can be obtained by consuming lots of green leafy vegetables, salmon, tuna, eggs, nuts and oranges. \n\n \n Give Your Eyes Time to Rest \n \n\n Staring at a computer or laptop screen for too long can also increase the risk of eye damage. This can cause dry and tense eyes, blurred vision, neck pain, headaches, shoulder and back pain, and difficulty focusing when looking at a distance. To prevent this, apply the 20-20-20 rule, namely every 20 minutes, look away 20 feet (about 6 meters) for at least 20 seconds. \n\n \n Diligent in Sports \n \n\n Exercise can reduce the risk of vision loss due to high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol levels. \n\n \n Get your health checked Points Periodically \n \n\n Routine eye examinations can be the best way to prevent damage. This is because an eye examination can monitor the condition of this area and any disorders or health problems that arise can be immediately detected. It is recommended that people, both elderly and young, both men and women, should have their eyes checked regularly by an ophthalmologist at least once every 2 years. Adults over 40 years of age are advised to have their eyes checked once a year. This can be useful for preventing eye diseases associated with increasing age, such as macular degeneration, glaucoma and cataracts. \n\n Meanwhile, children's eye health should be checked at least once every two years to detect vision problems that might affect their learning abilities. Children do not need to be able to read to have an eye examination. \n\n \n Wear sunglasses when doing outdoor activities \n \n\n UV rays from the sun can also cause eye damage.
