Gout (High levels of uric acid)<\/a><\/h3>
Gout is a disorder that causes sudden attacks of intense pain, swelling, and redness in your joints or soft tissues. In many cases, the first attacks occur in the joints of the big toe, but gout can affect many other joints. It is one type of inflammatory arthritis. \n\n Pain is the most dramatic, the most common, and the most noticeable symptom of gout. Other symptoms of acute gout, or a gout attack, may include: \n\n \n Sudden crushing or throbbing pain in one or a few joints (often in the big toe, knee, or ankle) that may last for a few days \n Sometimes an acute gouty arthritis attack has a sudden onset at nighttime. The big toe joint pain may be so severe that even the weight of bedsheets causes discomfort. \n Joints that appear swollen and inflamed, with reddish-purple skin that may feel warm \n \n\n What are the risk factors for gout? \n\n You are more likely to develop gout if you: \n\n \n are male \n are post-menopause \n are older than 65 years of age \n have close family members who have had gout \n have high levels of uric acid in your blood \n \n\n Lifestyle factors that increase your risk of gout include: \n\n \n being overweight \n eating a diet that includes a lot of meat, offal and shellfish \n drinking a lot of alcohol, especially beer, port or spirits \n going on a crash diet or fasting \n \n\n Factors that affect your kidney function can also increase your risk of gout. These factors may include: \n\n \n being dehydrated \n taking medicines known as diuretics (medicines that increase water excretion by the kidneys) \n having kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes or high levels of cholesterol in the blood \n \n\n Gout can also affect people with certain types of blood disorders (such as the blood cancers leukaemia and lymphoma) and people receiving treatment for some cancers. \n\n Gout is usually treated without surgery. There are medicines, splints, and compression modalities to help swelling and lessen the gout pain. If your gouthas worn out the joints, or if tendons have been hurt, surgery may be needed. \n\n If gout is not treated, the inflammation can cause damage to joints and tendons. Crystal deposits on tendons can cause the skin to wear down, which can lead to infection. In addition, tendons can tear, which can lead to loss of function. \n\n Talk to a specialist in internal medicine, your favorite rheumatology consultant, Friends of Hermina, about the best treatment plan for uric acid, Friends of Hermina. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Take care of your health from the risk of heart disease and hypertension<\/a><\/h3>
Definition of Hypertension \n\n \n Hypertension or High Blood Pressure is a condition where the systolic blood pressure is ≥ 140 mmHg and or the diastolic blood pressure is ≥ 90 mmHg. \n Hypertension is often called "The silent killer" because it is often without complaints, so the sufferer does not know that he has hypertension, and then finds complications in the form of a sudden attack. \n \n\n Types of Hypertension \n\n \n Essential/Primary Hypertension: Hypertension of unknown cause (90% of cases) \n Secondary Hypertension: The cause can be determined (10%), including: kidney disorders, thyroid disorders, etc \n \n\n Hypertension Risk Factors \n\n Factors that cannot be changed (ATTACHED TO THE PATIENT) \n\n \n Age \n Gender \n Genetics / heredity \n \n\n Modifiable factors (UNHEALTHY BEHAVIOR) \n\n \n Smoke \n Excess salt consumption \n Obesity \n Lack of fiber \n Lack of physical activity \n Alcohol consumption \n \n\n Hypertension Symptoms \n\n Not all people with hypertension recognize or feel complaints or symptoms. So hypertension is called the silent killer. \n\n Complaints of people with hypertension include: \n\n \n Headache \n Nervous \n Heart beat \n Dizzy \n Blurred vision \n Pain in the chest \n Easily tired etc \n \n\n \nWhy is HYPERTENSION DANGEROUS? \n\n If not controlled, hypertension can cause complications such as coronary heart disease and stroke, heart failure, kidney failure, peripheral vascular disease and retinal blood vessel damage which results in impaired vision. \n\n How to prevent and treat hypertension? \n\n \n Every adult should check blood pressure regularly \n If you have high blood pressure, immediately consult a health worker to get further treatment. \n Some people with hypertension can control blood pressure by making lifestyle changes alone. However, others require additional medication. \n \n\n LECTURE (check blood pressure at home) \n\n \n Before Examination: try to keep the body in a sitting position for 2-5 minutes, not allowed to drink coffee, not to take medicine before checking, not to hold back urination. \n Checks were carried out 3 times with a period of 5 minutes to obtain variations in blood pressure data. \n The most recommended blood pressure measuring instrument is the digital type, use a validated measuring instrument, it is better to use a measuring instrument that uses a cuff and is wrapped around the arm. \n \n\n the higher the blood pressure, the higher the risk of damage to the heart and blood vessels in large organs such as the brain and kidneys. If you are experiencing health problems immediately check and consult a doctor. To get a steady hand. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Work-Related Musculoskeletal Injuries<\/a><\/h3>
Musculoskeletal? \n\n The system that includes muscles, bones, joints and supporting tissue structures around the joints (ligaments, fascia, joint capsules, etc.), and because it is closely related to nerves, is often called the neuro-muscoloskeletal system. \n\n If you experience disorders or diseases of the neuro-muscoloskeletal system, you will experience complaints of pain, swelling, stiffness, weakness and muscle paralysis, etc. This ultimately has an impact on a person's movement, flexibility and productivity. \n\n Management of disorders of the neuro-muscoloskeletal system is divided into conservative treatment (without surgery and performed by a Medical Rehabilitation Specialist and his team) and operatively (with surgery by an orthopedic specialist). \n\n Musculoskeletal Injuries Associated with Occupational Risks \n\n These are abnormalities in the musculoskeletal tissue that occur as a result of work activities. The most common abnormalities are: \n\n \n Tendonitis \n Tenosynovitis \n Bursitis \n Carpal Tunnel Syndrome \n \n\n Recognize the Characteristics of an Injury \n\n We must know some of the most common injuries that occur when carrying out work activities, so you know further help to deal with them: \n\n \n Occurs due to overuse that occurs due to collisions or body movements exceeding ability. \n Occur gradually one example occurs hamstring, three large muscles that are located behind the thigh and function to connect muscles and bones. The hamstrings are actively used when you involve bending your knees, such as climbing, jumping and running. \n Multifactor for example Contusion (Contusion) Is an injury to the tissue and causes damage to the capillaries so that blood seeps into the surrounding tissue. Injuries like this are usually caused by multifactorial problems from sufferers. \n \n\n Why Do Injuries Happen? \n\n Accidents and trauma, such as falls or hard collisions can occur in work activities. Using inappropriate equipment or improper technique when working is one of the factors that cause injury. The following are the risk factors that affect them: \n\n \n Wrong posture \n Static muscle activity \n Effort & Force \n Repetition and No variation \n exposure : - Temperature- Mechanical pressure - vibration \n Frequency intensity duration \n \n\n How about prevention? \n\n \n Work ergonomically \n Rotation \n Training \n Follow up on workers with symptoms \n Fitness program \n \n\n If you have symptoms of an injury that don't get better in a few days. For example, such as pain, tenderness, swelling, bruising and stiffness in the affected area, immediately visit a health facility and check your condition with a doctor. Because, it could be that the symptoms you are feeling are an indication that they are getting worse and require treatment as early as possible. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

GLAUCOMA THE THIEF OF SIGHT<\/a><\/h3>
Glaucoma is a disease of the eye characterized by a collection of symptoms in the form of increased pressure in the eyeball accompanied by damage to the optic nerve and narrowing of the field of view of the eye. Glaucoma is also called the thief of sight because glaucoma can cause permanent blindness. \n\n Types of Glaucoma: \n\n Chronic Glaucoma ( Chronic ) \n\n namely a group of eyes that is generally characterized by damage to the optic nerve and loss of field of view that is progressive in nature and associated with various risk factors, especially high intracular pressure (IOP). Signs and symptoms: \n\n \n Decreased vision \n Frequent headaches \n Stiffness in the eyeballs \n \n\n \nAcute (Sudden) Glaucoma \n\n Glaucoma caused by sudden high intraocular pressure in the eye. Acute glaucoma can be primary and secondary. Primary acute glaucoma arises by itself in people who have congenital glaucoma. Secondary acute glaucoma occurs as a complication of other eye disease or systemic. Can be found in a history of routine use of steroid drugs or a history of trauma to the eye, cataracts, high myopia, diabetes, etc. \n\n Signs and symptoms: \n\n \n Painful red eyes without discharge \n Cornea slightly cloudy \n Pain or soreness in the eye that can radiate to the head \n Nausea and vomiting when the pressure on the eyeball is very high \n Sudden loss of vision, usually in one eye \n \n\n Glaucoma Risk Factors \n\n \n Family or hereditary history of glaucoma \n Degenerative diseases such as Diabetes and Hypertension and Age > 40 years \n High eye pressure \n Accident or history of previous eye surgery such as cataract surgery \n Migraines or narrowing of the blood vessels of the brain (poor circulation) \n Myopia \n \n\n \nGlaucoma Prevention \n\n Most of the risk factors for glaucoma such as age, heredity, and ethnicity cannot be prevented, because they are congenital. However, if there is a family history of glaucoma, it can be prevented by having your eyes checked and routinely monitored by a doctor for early detection of glaucoma, so that you can get the right therapy and care. \n\n Here are steps that can be taken to detect glaucoma early. \n\n \n Take care of eye health from an early age by consuming foods that contain vitamin A and routine eye health checks to the doctor. \n Use eye drops prescribed by your doctor regularly. Glaucoma eye drops can significantly reduce the risk of high eye pressure developing into glaucoma. \n Serious eye injuries can cause glaucoma. So, wear eye protection when exercising or when working with power tools. \n \n\n In addition to early detection, lifestyle can also be an effort to prevent developing glaucoma. Do a healthy lifestyle such as; eat healthy and nutritious food, exercise regularly, reduce caffeine intake, avoid smoking, maintain an ideal body weight, drink water with breaks and regularly, don't drink a lot in close proximity, reduce salt intake to avoid fluid retention and consult a doctor if you want to do strenuous activities. \n\n Glaucoma Medicine \n\n Eye damage caused by glaucoma cannot be treated or repaired. However, treatment must still be carried out to reduce intraocular pressure in the eye and prevent further damage to the eye. In general, glaucoma can be treated with eye drops, medications taken, laser therapy, and surgery. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

INDONESIA RANKS 3RD IN LEPROSY CASES, LET'S RECOGNIZE THE SYMPTOMS AND PREVENT LEPROSY!<\/a><\/h3>
Leprosy \n\n We may often hear the word leprosy but still don't know what this disease is? Most people only know that this disease can cause disability. So there are still many people who stigmatize and discriminate against leprosy patients. \n\n Leprosy is a chronic infection of the bacterium Mycobacterium leprae that affects the nervous system, skin, other organ systems such as the oral mucosa, upper respiratory (nose), eyes and genitals. The disease is contagious but requires prolonged exposure to leprosy germs. The disease will cause symptoms 2-5 years after infection. \n\n Indonesia is still the third country with the highest leprosy cases, so it is very important for us to know the right information and eliminate the wrong stigma of leprosy. A report from the Ministry of Health in January 2022 found 7,146 new leprosy patients, 14% of children. \nLeprosy can be cured with a combination of 2-3 antibiotics, given daily for 1-2 years. The symptoms of leprosy can resemble other skin disorders (often called great imitators) so it is often not detected at first. \nThe disease can lead to disabilities in appearance and physique which in turn leads to impaired socialization and discrimination. So it is very important to do early detection to prevent permanent disability. \n\n What are the symptoms of leprosy: \n\n \n White or reddish, flat or raised patches that do not itch \n Skin does not sweat \n Numbness or numbness (touch, temperature and pain stimulation) \n Dry and thick skin \n Eyebrow or eyelash loss \n Nerve symptoms: \n Hand and leg muscle weakness \n Visual impairment \n \n\n Mode of transmission: close and prolonged contact with leprosy patients through the respiratory tract (droplets) or skin-to-skin contact. \n\n To confirm a patient has leprosy, the doctor will perform laboratory tests such as: \n\n \n skin tissue scrapings with Ziehl Nielsen staining \n histopathologic biopsy examination as well as serologic examination (PGL-1) or PCR \n \n\n Leprosy treatment lasts for 6 months to 2 years depending on the type of leprosy. In Indonesia, the Multiple Drug Therapy (MDT) method consists of rifampicin 300mg, dapsone 100mg and clofazimine 100mg. Currently, WHO and the government have provided leprosy treatment regimens for free. The drugs can be found at health centers or leprosy hospitals. \n\n Things that can be done to prevent leprosy transmission are: \n\n \n keep your immune system in tip-top shape \n maintain a clean and healthy environment \n recognize the symptoms of leprosy early \n advises leprosy patients to seek treatment regularly until they recover. \n avoid contact with someone infected with leprosy remains untreated \n \n\n Cooperation between patients-doctors and health workers-patients' families-government-community is essential for the elimination and eradication of leprosy in Indonesia. \nSo that there is no longer a bad stigma against leprosy that can cause patients to be ostracized and afraid to seek treatment. \nWith proper treatment, leprosy can be cured. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Is having sex while pregnant safe?<\/a><\/h3>
Well, there must be quite a lot of married couples who concern this. Let's discuss in this article, is it safe or not? \n\n Having sex during pregnancy can actually be said to be safe but can also be considered unsafe. When a pregnant woman's womb is having issues, having sex is considered unsafe due to the risks identified in her pregnancy, such as the possibility of an early birth, bleeding, or a previous miscarriage. However, it can be said to be safe if the pregnancy is not at risk in the sense that every obstetric examination has good results. \n\n When is it safe to have sex? \n\n \n Trimester 1 is actually safe to have sex, but usually a woman's desire to have sex will decrease considerably because women have to adapt to various massive changes that occur due to increases in the hormones estrogen and progesterone. \n In the 2nd trimester it is recommended to have sex around the 16th week of pregnancy, because the body's hormones have begun to stabilize so that the early symptoms of pregnancy such as nausea, vomiting, and weakness begin to subside. Recommended once a week. \n In the 3rd trimester, it is highly recommended by doctors to have intercourse, especially when the time of birth is approaching, so that it helps the process of dilating the vagina which is useful for facilitating labor. \n \n\n Is it permissible to expel sperm inside during pregnancy? \n\n So, Friends of Hermina actually have no obstacle to removing sperm inside if the pregnancy conditions are fairly good, but this will cause discomfort. The discomfort is caused because sperm contains proteins that will make the uterus contract. So it is recommended not to excrete inside except in the final trimester. \n\n Yes, I also need to know! that having sex won't harm the unborn child. because the amniotic membranes, uterine muscles, and cervical mucus shield the fetus inside the womb. Friends of Hermina shouldn't be concerned, as this is only a misconception that spreads across society. \n\n So, when you are pregnant, you really need to be diligent in consulting obstetricians and be active and honest about how you feel! Don't hesitate to consult your obstetric health with Dr. Marliana Ritung, SpOG obstetrician at Hermina Galaxy Hospital. Making doctor appointments is easier through the Halo Hermina app and through our call center at 1500488 and the Halo Hermina app, scheduling appointments with doctors is made simpler.

Recognize the Symptoms of Anemia in Adolescents<\/a><\/h3>
Entering the teenage years, the many activities and hobbies that are carried out make teenagers more active in carrying out daily activities. That way, it is important for teenagers to maintain a healthy body so as to avoid various kinds of health problems that can interfere with daily activities. One of the diseases to watch out for is anemia. \n\n What is anemia? \n\n Anemia is a condition in which the body lacks healthy or functional red blood cells (hemoglobin). As a result, the body's organs do not get enough oxygen, thus making people with anemia pale and easily tired. \n\n Causes of Anemia \n\n Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, an iron-rich protein that gives blood its red color. Hemoglobin functions to deliver oxygen in the blood from the lungs throughout the body and transports carbon dioxide from all parts of the body to the lungs so that it can be removed from the body. \n\n Well, when the body does not have enough red blood cells, anemia occurs. The normal level of red blood cells, or hemoglobin, is 12 g/dL. This could be due to the following reasons: \n\n -There is a problem with the immune system. \n\n -have a history of chronic health problems \n\n -Genetic factors, if parents have a history of anemia and other related blood disorders \n\n -have health problems with the spinal cord \n\n -is currently pregnant. \n\n -Inadequate intake of vitamins and minerals \n\n Symptoms of anemia \n\n Remember the 5L for the symptoms of anemia, namely, weak, tired, lethargic, tired, and inattentive. In addition, other symptoms experienced include: \n\n -Headaches and dizziness \n\n -Often sleepy \n\n -Dizziness when standing \n\n -Palor of the skin and lower eyelids \n\n -Cold hands and feet \n\n Diagnosis of anemia \n\n To find out the diagnosis of anemia, the doctor will conduct an examination through a medical interview and a complete blood test to find out the common types of anemia, which consist of: \n\n -levels of iron, vitamin B12, folic acid, and other vitamins and minerals. \n\n -Number of red blood cells and hemoglobin levels \n\n -Reticulocyte count \n\n Anemia Treatment \n\n Anemia is a condition that can be cured by administering drugs according to the cause, such as: \n\n -Erythropoietin, a drug that helps the bone marrow produce red blood cells. \n\n -Consuming folic acid, iron, and vitamin B12 supplements \n\n -Perform blood transfusion if necessary. \n\n Anemia Prevention \n\n The main prevention of anemia can be done by consuming foods that contain iron, zinc, vitamins A, C, and B12, and folic acid. Meanwhile, some other ways of prevention are: \n\n -Consume blood-boosting tablets as directed. \n\n -Exercise regularly \n\n -Drink 8 glasses of water per day. \n\n -Reduce caffeine (tea and coffee). \n\n If your teenager or you have complaints that lead to anemia, immediately consult an internal medicine specialist. To make it easier when you want to make an appointment with a doctor, make an online consultation appointment via the Hermina website, mobile apps, or call center at 1500488. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

RECOGNIZE CHILDHOOD POX<\/a><\/h3>
RECOGNIZE CHILDHOOD POX \n\n Chickenpox is a skin disease that is very easily transmitted to children. About 90% of cases of chickenpox can infect children under the age of 10 and most are at the age of 5-9 years. \n\n Chickenpox or varicella is an infectious disease caused by the varicella zoster virus. This disease is also known as chicken pox. \n\n Chickenpox is easily transmitted through splashes of saliva (droplets) that come out of the mouth of a smallpox sufferer when they sneeze or cough and are inhaled by children who are nearby. Another way is through direct contact with the liquid that comes out of the smallpox resilience when the sufferer scratches it. \n\n This fluid contains the smallpox-causing virus. So when the elastic is torn or opened, the liquid inside can be splashed into the air and inhaled by the child so that he can be exposed to the virus contained in it. Transmission can also occur when the child touches this broken elastic wound. \n\n In addition, chickenpox is also very easily transmitted through cross-contamination. This occurs when the patient touches objects around him and then is touched again by a healthy person. \n\n For example, when a patient with chickenpox coughs and leaves droplets on the table surface and not how long does the child hold the same table area. The virus can be transferred to a child's body when he touches his face with contaminated hands. \n\n The virus can remain infectious until all the blisters on the skin of the sufferer have dried up. That's why, everyone who is sick with smallpox will be asked to isolate themselves to avoid the risk of transmission to the closest people, especially to children whose immune systems are not as strong as adults. \n\n Symptoms of Chicken Pox that Appear in Children \n\n Apart from seeing the typical symptoms of chickenpox in children, namely fever accompanied by the appearance of red spots filled with water 10-21 days after exposure to the virus, children can experience muscle aches, headaches and loss of appetite. Itching also occurs along with the appearance of a red rash on several parts of the body, such as the legs, arms, stomach, back and face. \n\n These red spots are prone to cracking and peeling off on their own. Try not to scratch your baby's water spots so that there is no risk or further skin infection. However, there are also symptoms of chickenpox in children without fever, as well as areas of red spots that grow on the body. You cannot equate the symptoms of chickenpox in children with one another. \n\n What's more, the age factor and immunity of each sufferer. If more severe symptoms arise, such as complications of difficulty breathing, dehydration and fever that doesn't go down after the third or fourth day, take your child immediately to a specialist to get proper treatment. \n\n \n\n How to Treat Chickenpox in Children \n\n 1. Get enough rest \n\n Often children are active even though they are sick. However, you need to guide him so that he gets enough sleep, even better than his sleeping hours. This is certainly beneficial for his recovery from chicken pox. \n\n 2. Eat nutritious food \n\n In order for his body's immunity to increase, a balanced nutritious diet can prevent him from the risk of getting chickenpox in the future. Mother can give her favorite healthy food, so as to avoid loss of appetite that might happen to the baby. \n\n 3. Give intake of drinking water \n\n One of the symptoms of chickenpox in children is dehydration. To avoid this, you need to make sure your baby gets enough fluid intake. \n\n 4. Keep the skin clean \n\n You can bathe him slowly with warm water and special soap for sensitive skin. If you don't want to take a shower, compress the skin with a soft towel. \n\n 5. Try clipping her nails \n\n When experiencing chickenpox in children, itching will certainly occur after the rash is filled with water. Mothers are advised to cut their baby's nails so they don't injure the skin when scratching, and give lotion or ointment according to the recommendations of a pediatrician. If it's still a baby, you can put gloves on it. \n\n 6. Avoid activities outside the home \n\n Even if he still wants to play, you can tell him to stay home. His mother used to take him on trips and come into contact with other people. Due to the high risk of infection, children may infect people who have not been vaccinated. \n\n 7. Wear comfortable clothes \n\n Because babies generally experience itching which is quite disturbing, you can give them clothes that tend to be thin, soft and loose. Also change the sheets so that he feels more comfortable while sleeping. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

BEWARE OF DIPHTERIA DEADLY BACTERIA INFECTIONS<\/a><\/h3>
BEWARE OF DIPHTERIA \n\n DEADLY BACTERIA INFECTIONS \n\n Lately, there has been a lot of news about the number of cases of death due to diphtheria increasing in one area in Indonesia. Is diphtheria a dangerous disease, and of course the answer is yes. In addition, diphtheria can be contagious. \n\n Diphtheria is a bacterial infection of the nose and throat. Although it doesn't always cause symptoms, this disease is usually marked by the appearance of a gray membrane that lines the throat and tonsils. \n\n Diphtheria is classified as a dangerous infectious disease and has a life-threatening risk. If left untreated, the bacteria that cause diphtheria can release toxins that damage the heart, kidneys or brain. \n\n Causes of Diphtheria \n\n Diphtheria is caused by an infection with the Corynebacterium diphtheriae bacteria. This infection can be transmitted through airborne particles, personal objects, contaminated household equipment, and touching wounds infected with diphtheria germs. Apart from diphtheria transmission, it can also occur through a person's saliva. Even if an infected person shows no signs or symptoms of diphtheria, they can still transmit the bacteria for up to six weeks after the initial infection. \n\n Bacteria most often infect the nose and throat. Once infected, the bacteria release harmful substances called toxins which then spread through the bloodstream and cause a thick, gray coating. This layer is generally formed in the area of the nose, throat, tongue and airways. In some cases, these toxins can also damage other organs, including the heart, brain and kidneys, causing potentially life-threatening complications. \n\n Diphtheria Risk Factors \n\n • Visiting areas with low diphtheria immunization coverage \n\n • Weak immune system, such as people with HIV/AIDS \n\n • Unhealthy lifestyle \n\n • Environments with poor hygiene and sanitation \n\n • Children under 5 years of age and parents over 60 years of age \n\n • Living in densely populated settlements \n\n • Traveling to areas with high diphtheria cases \n\n Diphtheria Symptoms \n\n • Formation of a thin gray layer that covers the tonsils and throat \n\n • Fever and chills \n\n • Afternoon throat and hoarseness \n\n • Difficulty breathing or fast breathing \n\n • Swollen lymph nodes in the neck \n\n • Weak and tired \n\n • Colds that are runny at first, but can be mixed with blood \n\n • Loud coughing \n\n • Feeling of discomfort \n\n • Impaired vision \n\n • Slurred speech, and \n\n • Signs of shock, such as cold, pale skin, sweating and fast heart beat \n\n Diphtheria Prevention \n\n Diphtheria can be prevented by taking the following steps: \n\n • DPT immunization \n\n Make sure the child receives the DPT immunization, which is the administration of the diphtheria vaccine combined with the tetanus and whooping cough (pertussis) vaccines. DPT immunization is one of the mandatory immunizations in Indonesia which is given at the age of 2, 3, 4, and 18 months, as well as the age of 5 years. \n\n • Consultation with a doctor \n\n Consult a doctor if your child has not received the DPT vaccine, especially if they are over 7 years old. The doctor will give the Tdap vaccine. \n\n • Antibiotics \n\n In addition to dealing with diphtheria, antibiotics can also be given to people who are in close contact with sufferers as prevention. \n\n If you experience symptoms of diphtheria, don't delay to see a doctor to get the right diagnosis. Check yourself immediately before the condition gets worse and spreads to other people. \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Treatment to Overcome Metabolic Syndrome<\/a><\/h3>
The symptoms of the metabolic syndrome include hypertension (high blood pressure), decreased glucose tolerance, and dyslipidemia (a condition in which cholesterol levels, namely LDL, HDL, and triglycerides, are abnormal) (a condition that is not yet included in the diabetes category but blood glucose is higher than normal). above average), central obesity (fat accumulation centered in the abdomen). \n\n A major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and a good indicator of future diabetes mellitus is metabolic syndrome (disorders that affect the heart and blood vessels). \n\n Although the exact etiology of metabolic syndrome is unknown, insulin resistance, which occurs when the body's cells do not respond to insulin as it should, is thought to be the main contributor. Waist circumference measurements can be used to investigate the link between abdominal fat deposits and insulin resistance. \n\n In individuals who are not yet diabetic or hypertensive, treatment for the metabolic syndrome seeks to lower the risk of cardiac disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. \n\n All patients with a diagnosis of metabolic syndrome ought to be encouraged to modify their eating and exercise routines. \n\n Exercise has been shown to lower fat levels and insulin resistance. Frequent exercise on at least three to four days each week can enhance \n\n A low-sodium diet can support a drop in blood pressure, which lowers the frequency of cardiovascular events and diabetes mellitus. \n\n Diet Reduce carbohydrate intake, swap it for meals containing unsaturated fats, or eat carbohydrates with a low glycemic index (foods that are processed by the body slowly, preventing blood sugar levels from rising) to lower triglyceride levels or raise HDL cholesterol levels with a low-fat diet. greatly enhanced). reducing intake of salt to lower blood pressure, reducing intake of carbohydrates with a high glycemic index to lower blood glucose and lipid levels, and reducing intake of saturated fat to improve insulin resistance. \n\n Those with metabolic syndrome benefit greatly from a diet high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, unsaturated fats, and low-fat dairy products. \n\n To reduce blood pressure and dyslipidemia in patients with risk factors who cannot be managed only by lifestyle changes, pharmacological intervention is required. \n\n Those with at least several diseases, such as obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, need to be understood and treated early in order to prevent cardiovascular events. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Healthy Living Behavior to Avoid Communicable Diseases<\/a><\/h3>
Infectious diseases are diseases that attack humans and can be transmitted to other humans in certain ways. The method of transmission is by direct media from person to person (skin surface), air media (airborne disease) such as TB and influenza, and water media (waterborne disease or water-related disease) caused by places to eat and drink that are not clean enough to wash, such as hepatitis or typhus. \n\n Infectious diseases are caused by: \n\n \n Infectious diseases are caused by: \n viruses (viral hepatitis, poliomyelitis) \n Bacteria (cholera, dysentery, typhoid, diarrhea) \n Protozoa (amebiasis, giardiasis) \n Helmintic (ascariasis, whipworm disease) \n Through vector media for arachnid-borne diseases (dengue fever, malaria). \n \n\n Dengue fever transmission is mediated by the mosquito "Aedes aegypti" (an arthropod-borne disease). How to prevent it by eradicating eggs, larvae, and cocoons of dengue mosquitoes in their breeding sites and with the 3M movement, namely: \n\n \n Closing. Close the bathtub tightly so that mosquitoes do not enter and nest in it because mosquitoes like to hatch in clean, stagnant water. \n Drain. Drain the tub at least once a week so that mosquitoes don't enter and nest in it. \n Hoarding. Bury cans or empty containers filled with water in the ground so the mosquitoes don't find places to lay their eggs. \n \n\n Apart from that, there are other ways to use 3M Plus, namely: \n\n \n Change the water in flower vases and bird drinking places once a week. \n Repair channels and gutters that are not smooth. \n Installing wire gauze \n Avoid the habit of hanging clothes \n Using drugs \n \n\n Typhoid is an endemic, easily transmitted disease that can attack many people so that it can cause an epidemic. The incidence of typhoid is very closely related to the sanitation of the environment. The cause of typhoid fever is Salmonella typhi and Salmonella paratyphi. Transmission through food and drink contaminated with germs originating from sufferers Prevention begins with maintaining the cleanliness of food and drink, regulating garbage disposal, and recycling household waste. \n\n Diarrhea is a disease in which sufferers will experience continuous bowel stimulation with feces that still contain excess water. The causes are internal infections (occurring in the digestive tract), bacterial infections (Salmonella, Shigella, Escherichia coli), viral infections, parasitic infections (worms, fungi), and parenteral infections (infections in other parts of the body outside the digestive tract). The symptoms are nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite, fever, and blood in the stool. Prevention is by keeping the environment clean, especially water; don't eat carelessly; avoid food that is too hot and sour at the same time; maintain body condition with water (drink water 8–12 times; get enough rest); wash hands with soap after defecation; and clean food ingredients with clean water. \n\n Healthy living behaviors are very necessary to avoid contracting infectious diseases. The most effective way to prevent contracting infectious diseases is to get vaccinated and ensure that all immunizations are received on time. Not only children, but adults also need to get additional vaccine injections. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>"); $('#div_next_link').html(" <\/a><\/span>");
