Beware of Stroke. Let's Get to Know the Risk Factors<\/a><\/h3>
Stroke is a condition of dysfunction of the brain, spinal cord or retina that occurs when the blood supply is disrupted due to blockage or rupture of blood vessels. Stroke has been ranked as the second cause of death in the world since 2016 and the main cause of disability since 2013. \n\n Stroke is a condition that needs immediate treatment, the loss of blood flow to the brain will cause brain cell ischemia, leading to brain tissue death within minutes to hours. Prompt and appropriate treatment can minimize the level of brain damage thereby affecting the recovery rate and prognosis. \n\n Broadly speaking, strokes are divided into 2 types, namely obstructive (ischemic) strokes and bleeding (hemorrhagic) strokes. \n\n Ischemic stroke occurs when the blood vessels that carry nutrients and oxygen to the brain become blocked, causing brain cells to lack oxygen or what is called ischemia. This perfusion disorder is initially temporary and can be improved by immediately improving blood flow (reperfusion) thereby preventing death (infarction) of large areas of brain tissue, which means preventing disability and death. Based on the TOAST (Trial of ORG in acute stroke treatment) classification, ischemic stroke is divided into 5 categories, namely large artery atherosclerosis, cardioembolism, small artery obstruction, ischemic stroke with other known causes and stroke with unknown causes. \n\n A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures, causing blood flow to the part of the brain that should be supplied by the blood vessel to decrease and there is also a buildup of blood volume which can put pressure on brain tissue. Cerebral bleeding is generally triggered by uncontrolled hypertension that tears the walls of the blood vessels. Hemorrhagic strokes are divided into two types, namely intraparenchymal and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Both have specific procedures. \n\n Stroke risk factors are divided into non-modifiable and modifiable risk factors, including: \n\n Non-modifiable factors \n\n \n Age - There was a 2-fold increase in patients over 55 years of age \n Gender - Men are at greater risk than women, after menopause the incidence of hypertension is more in women \n Family History (Genetic) - A family history of stroke increases the risk of stroke by 30%. \n \n\n Factors that can be modified include: \n\n \n Hypertension \n Diabetes mellitus \n Overweight (Obesity) \n High cholesterol/dyslipidemia \n Smoke \n Heart disease/blood vessel disease elsewhere \n Lack of Physical Activity \n Alcohol Consumption \n Psychology and Stress \n Sleep apnea \n Hormonal contraception \n \n\n Don't let health problems, especially stroke, disrupt your productivity. For Hermina friends who need further information about stroke, you can consult with a neurologist at Hermina Hospital Manado and if someone in your family experiences a stroke, immediately rush to the hospital by calling the SPGDT service at Hermina Hospital Manado. Hopefully this information can be useful \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Importance of the Golden Hour Moment in Stroke Patients<\/a><\/h3>
Stroke is one of the most deadly diseases in the world. Not only is it deadly, stroke can also cause disability in the sufferer. This disability or paralysis is one of the results of the patient's inaccurate arrival time at the hospital, namely a maximum of 4.5 hours after the attack. Disability due to stroke can be prevented and minimized if treated appropriately. The moment when patients are treated with an ischemic stroke is called the golden period. The Golden Hour is the time used to decide on appropriate and immediate treatment for stroke patients, the chance of total recovery for stroke sufferers is higher if treated during this period. The later the patient is taken to hospital, the greater the risk of permanent disability and even death. \n\n Patients who experience a stroke require reperfusion or immediate resupply of oxygen and nutrients to repair damaged tissue. This golden period/Golden Hour treatment aims to restore reperfusion and save brain tissue that has experienced temporary/reversible damage (ischemia) so that it returns to healthy brain tissue, as well as saving penumbral tissue before it develops into dead tissue (infarction). Delay in treatment beyond the Golden Hour can cause permanent neurological disorders or paralysis. This occurs because there has been permanent brain tissue damage or extensive infarction. \n\n During this Golden Hour period, patients must receive thrombolysis drugs which work to destroy blood clots in the brain's blood vessels. This drug is an injection drug that is given via infusion into a blood vessel. The target for administering thrombolysis drugs (door to needle) is 60 minutes from the time the patient arrives at the hospital. If necessary, further action can be carried out, namely thrombectomy. Thrombectomy aims to open blocked blood vessels using interventional methods. In patients who meet the criteria for thrombectomy, thrombolysis must be performed first to increase the success rate of the procedure. \n\n A stroke can happen to anyone. Therefore, it is very important for us to know the moment of the golden period or Golden Hour in stroke sufferers when an attack occurs. \n\n That's all the Golden Hour information for stroke sufferers that Hermina's friends need to know. If you need quick treatment for a stroke, don't hesitate to visit the nearest Hermina Hospital. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Alert! When Often Experiencing Tingling<\/a><\/h3>
Parestesia is a sensation that almost everyone experiences. However, when pins and needles occur too often or last for a long time, they can be a sign of a more serious health problem. Tingling occurs when there is a disturbance in the nervous system, especially the peripheral nerves which send signals from the body to the brain. In this article, we will discuss the dangers of pins and needles too much, its causes, and steps you can take to prevent it. \n\n Causes of Tingling Too Often \n\n \n Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, is a condition in which the median nerve that passes through the wrist is pinched or irritated. Symptoms include tingling, pain, and weakness in the hands. People who use their hands a lot in their daily work or involve frequent wrist movements have a higher risk of developing this syndrome. \n Piriformis syndrome is a muscle in the pelvis that can press on the sciatic nerve (great nerve in the pelvis) and cause tingling in the back, hips, or legs. People with sedentary lifestyles or who often sit for long periods have a higher risk of developing this syndrome. \n Diabetes, diabetes can damage the peripheral nerves, which can cause a tingling sensation in the feet and hands. This disorder is known as diabetic neuropathy. \n Physical Injury Physical injury to the nerves or spine can disrupt the flow of nerve signals, causing a tingling sensation. \n Deficiency of Vitamin B12, vitamin B12 is important for nerve health. A deficiency in this vitamin can cause neurological problems, including pins and needles. \n \n\n Ongoing Numbness Hazard \n\n \n Long-Term Nerve Damage, if pins and needles are not treated and the underlying condition is not treated, it can lead to long-term nerve damage. This can lead to decreased sensitivity, muscle weakness, and other health problems. \n Disorders of Daily Life, and persistent pins, and needles can interfere with quality of life. Sufferers may find it difficult to move around, sleep well, or do work efficiently. \n Inability to Detect Serious Problems If pins and needles are ignored and not treated seriously, the underlying condition, such as diabetes or nerve injury, may not be detected quickly. This could result in more serious complications in the future. \n \n\n Prevention and Handling Measures \n\n \n Consult a doctor, if you experience pins and needles that are too frequent or last for a long time, it is important to consult a doctor. Doctors can perform examinations and tests to diagnose the cause. \n Lifestyle Changes, if the pins and needles are caused by an unhealthy lifestyle, such as lack of physical activity or wrong sitting position, it is important to make changes. Stretching and regular physical exercise can help keep nerves healthy. \n Management of the Cause, if the pins and needles are caused by a disease such as diabetes or carpal tunnel syndrome, management of these diseases with medication and lifestyle changes is very important. \n Nutritional Supplements, if the pins and needles are caused by nutritional deficiencies, such as vitamin B12, the doctor may recommend appropriate supplements. \n \n\n Pins and needles that occur too often or last for a long time can be a sign of a more serious health problem. Ignoring these symptoms can result in long-term neurological damage and impair quality of life. Hence, it is very important to identify the cause of the tingling and take appropriate steps to treat this problem. Consult a doctor to get the right diagnosis and appropriate management to prevent further complications.

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

Getting to Know Epilepsy, Types of Seizures and Treatment <\/a><\/h3>
Epilepsy is a disease of the nerves. There are about 65 million people in the world who have epilepsy. The typical symptoms are seizures and can occur at any age causing a person to experience recurrent seizures without any provoking factors causing seizures due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain. \n\n Not all seizures are epilepsy, for example in the case of someone who has seizures due to low blood sugar levels, fainting, metabolic disorders are not epilepsy, because that's why seizures are the main symptom of epilepsy. However, that does not mean that everyone who has seizures has epilepsy. In people with epilepsy, seizures will take place more than once, aka recurring at the same or different times. In some cases, epilepsy can occur when a person sleeps. Most likely the cause is a change in body phase from wakefulness to sleep which triggers brain activity to become abnormal. \n\n Recognize some forms of seizures \n\n \n Generalized seizures: Motor involvement such as rhythmic movements, muscle stiffness, brief muscle twitches. Does not involve the motor, for example: absence seizures \n focal seizures: \n \n\n \n Motor involvement: jerking movements, muscle stiffness, muscle twitching. \n Automation movements can also be found, such as: clapping hands, rubbing hands, tasting, chewing movements. \n Non-motor symptoms: do not involve the motor, can be a change in sensation, emotion, thinking, autonomic disturbances. \n Sometimes someone can tell what they feel, for example they can smell certain smells, this is called "aura". \n \n\n \n Tonic-clonic seizures: In this type of seizure, a person experiences stiffness and twitching of the body, biting the tongue, foaming at the mouth, and bulging eyes. \n Absence seizures: In this type of seizure, a person is not aware of their surroundings, or when talking suddenly stops in the middle of a conversation. Generally short duration Recovery is fast or immediate. Often found in children aged 4 to 14 years. These seizures need to be suspected if the child is having problems at school. \n Atonic seizures: Muscles suddenly limp, head falls forward, drops items held, if in a standing position, the patient may fall forward, seizures last more than 15 seconds. \n Clonic seizures: In this type of seizure, there are stiff and then relaxed muscle movements, lasting many times. Movement cannot be restrained \n Infantile spasms: Characterized by brief movements (1-3 seconds) of the arms, legs and head-down movements. It often occurs shortly after waking up, and can occur several times a day. Babies become more irritable and can cry during an attack. \n Focal seizures without disturbance of consciousness Patient is conscious, partially unresponsive during seizure Brief seizures, usually less than 2 minutes. The patient can remember events \n Focal seizures with impaired consciousness Focal seizures in the form of involuntary movements, for example: hand rubbing movements, tasting, chewing There is a disturbance of consciousness. The patient makes movements but is actually not aware of it. Some patients can feel the presence of an aura \n \n\n What do you feel after the seizure? \n\n In most types of seizures, the patient is unconscious during the seizure, and is not aware of or aware of the condition that has been experienced (other people can tell). \n\n After a seizure, the patient may experience a state such as confusion, fatigue, headache. \n\n There are also post-seizure conditions that experience weakness in the hands or arms or legs, difficulty speaking, and so on. \n\n Causes of Seizures There are several categories of causes of seizures: \n\n Seizures are provoked: for example due to the use of some drugs, metabolic disorders. Such seizures generally will not recur if the cause is resolved. Nonepileptic seizures: eg fainting, psychological conditions. \n\n In the diagnosis of seizures, doctors need information about what was experienced in detail, information is needed from people who witnessed seizures. \n\n Do you need tests? Of course, an EEG blood laboratory examination – to see the brain's electrical wave activity and a CT or MRI scan – to see a structural picture of the brain. \n\n How are seizures treated? Treatment of seizures is based on the cause of the seizures. If you experience recurrent seizures due to epilepsy, treatment with anti-epileptic drugs is needed. \n\n Friends of Hermina, if you experience characteristics such as seizures lasting 5 minutes or more, repeated seizures without recovery of consciousness between seizures, difficulty breathing, seizures occurring in water, injuries or seizures for the first time. Immediately take it to the hospital to be examined by a Neurologist. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Stroke can strike regardless of age<\/a><\/h3>
Stroke is a health condition that can affect anyone, regardless of age or gender. A stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is disrupted or cut off so that brain cells do not receive enough oxygen and nutrients to carry out their vital functions. Without an adequate blood supply, brain cells can be damaged or die, which can lead to neurological disorders and even death. \n\n There are two common types of stroke: ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. Ischemic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain is blocked by a blood clot or arterial plaque, while hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures and causes bleeding. \n\n Common symptoms of stroke that often occur and can be seen physically include: \n\n \n Face (face): the face may fall to one side, the person may not be able to smile, or the mouth or eyes may droop. \n Arms (arms): the person suspected of having had a stroke may not be able to raise both arms and hold them up. This is because the stroke has caused weakness or numbness in one arm. \n Speech (way of speaking): speech sounds slurred or garbled, or the person may not be able to speak at all despite appearing awake. In addition, it may also be difficult to understand what you say. \n \n\n Risk factors that can increase a person's likelihood of having a stroke include old age, hypertension, smoking, diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol levels, physical inactivity, family history of stroke, and certain medical conditions such as heart arrhythmias and coronary artery disease. \n\n Although strokes are more common in older people, they can also occur in young people. Strokes can occur in people of all ages, including children and adolescents. Some of the risk factors that increase the likelihood of stroke in young people include smoking, alcohol abuse, obesity, and the use of illegal drugs. \n\n In addition, several medical conditions can increase the risk of stroke in young people, such as blood clotting disorders, migraine with aura, congenital heart disease, and infectious infections such as meningitis or endocarditis. \n\n It is important to remember that strokes can happen to anyone, and even people who appear healthy can have strokes. Therefore, everyone needs to know the risk factors for stroke and take appropriate preventive measures, such as adopting a healthy lifestyle, monitoring blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and consulting a doctor if any symptoms or medical conditions may increase the risk of stroke. To not continue, if you experience these symptoms, Friends of Hermina can consult Hermina Purwokerto RSU. \n\n To make it easier to access services & registration at Hermina Purwokerto Hospital, here's how: \n\n \n Download the mobile application on Playstore (Type Hello Hermina) \n Contact Call Center 1500488 \n Through the website -> www.herminahospitals.com \n Through the Halodoc application \n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Parkinson's Disease, Can It Be Cured?<\/a><\/h3>
\n\n Parkinson's disease (PP) is a degenerative disease of the central nervous system caused by damage to a part of the person called the Substantia Nigra Pars Compacta. This area contains nerve cells that make the neurotransmitter (brain chemical) dopamine, which is also responsible for controlling movement. As a result, clinical symptoms appear in the form of rigidity of movement, flat facial expressions, tremors at rest, and impaired postural reflexes. \n\n \n\n The approximate annual incidence of Parkinson's disease is 15 per 100,000 population with a prevalence of 18-328 cases per 100,000 population. Parkinson's is more often experienced by men and aged or over 60 years. There are several factors that play a role in the incidence of Parkinson's. This disease began to be widely known after one of the famous professional boxers experienced this disease, namely Muhammad Ali. Muhammad Ali's main risk factor for experiencing PP is a history of repeated head collisions. So, can Parkinson's disease be cured? \n\n \n\n Until now, Parkinson's disease cannot be cured because this disease is degenerative and the symptoms experienced by people with Parkinson's disease will get worse over time if they do not receive appropriate management. There are several therapies that can be given to people with Parkinson's to relieve clinical symptoms that arise, slow the course of the disease, and improve the quality of life of sufferers. \n\n \n\n 1. Drugs \n\n Selection of types of drugs and doses adjusted to the condition of the patient. Some types of drugs that can be used are levodopa, dopamine agonists, and monoamine oxidase-B inhibitors. Considering that this disease is chronic and progressive, in the long term the effectiveness of levodopa will decrease. Even drugs cause side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, and dyskinesia disorders. In this condition, adjusting the dose of levodopa, administering additional drugs is necessary to relieve the patient's complaints. Discuss with a neurologist, a friend, about the right choice of medicine to deal with your complaints. \n\n \n\n 2. Supportive therapy \n\n Regarding the treatment of Parkinson's, the doctor will advise the patient to carry out therapies such as physiotherapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and psychotherapy. Physiotherapy aims to help overcome muscle stiffness and pain in the joints in order to improve the ability to move and flexibility of the body. Meanwhile, speech therapy will help sufferers to speak and swallow more easily by restoring control and muscle strength around the mouth. Occupational therapy is useful so that people with Parkinson's can overcome everyday problems, for example how to dress themselves, how to eat, and walk which can help patients carry out their daily activities. Finally, psychotherapy is recommended if the patient is depressed. This procedure is recommended to undergo therapy with a psychologist. \n\n \n\n 3. Surgery \n\n If the administration of drugs cannot relieve the symptoms, maybe the doctor will continue with surgery. The type of surgery performed is called deep brain stimulation, namely by implanting electrodes in the disturbed area of the brain. However, this therapy is only performed in certain cases and the risk of this action is quite high. \n\n \n\n Until now, this Parkinson's disease cannot be cured, but there are treatments that can be done to relieve the symptoms experienced by patients and inhibit the progression of this Parkinson's disease. In this way, it is expected to improve the quality of life of people with Parkinson's disease. Discuss with a neurologist, a friend, about the right choice of therapy to deal with your complaints. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

You must have occasionally felt tingling or numbness. Tingling usually occurs due to sitting position or sleeping for too long. However, the most common occurrence for numbness or tingling is a problem with functionnerve,either the nerve is injured, something is pressing on the nerve, or an imbalance in the body's chemistry then impairs nerve function. In many cases, this condition often occurs on the hands and feet. \n\n Tingling and numbness in most of what happens is not dangerous. However, if this condition persists and is accompanied by muscle weakness or paralysis, this pins and needles symptom should be treated as an emergency. Quickexamined at Hermina Medan General Hospitalto prevent unwanted complications. \n\n There are many possibilities that can cause numbness and tingling, including taking certain medications. Things you do every day can also cause pins and needles, including sitting or standing in one position for a long time, sitting with your legs crossed, or falling asleep in your arms. These are just some of the pressure that is exerted on the nerves. After moving, the numbness will get better. \n\n There are conditions that cause numbness and tingling, such as: \n\n \n Insect or animal bites; \n Toxins found in seafood; \n Such poor dietvitamin B-12 deficiency, potassium, calcium, or sodium; \n Alcohol; \n radiation therapy; \n Medications, especially chemotherapy. \n \n\n Tingling can even result from damage to the skin, such as from a rash, inflammation, or injury.

9 Tips for Overcoming Back Pain at Home<\/a><\/h3>
Back pain is characterized by the appearance of pain in the lower back or sides. This condition can be triggered by many factors, ranging from increasing age, sitting too long, pregnancy, being overweight, rarely exercising or lifting heavy weights. \n\n In addition, back pain can also occur due to certain health conditions or diseases. Examples include spinal stenosis, pinched nerves, scoliosis, arthritis, dysmenorrhea, spinal cord injury, and kidney or urinary tract infections. \n\n Symptoms of low back pain are also generally accompanied by other complaints, ranging from a stiff waist that is even difficult to move. In mild cases, back pain can be treated at home in a simple way. \n\n \n\n How to Overcome Back Pain at Home Effectively \n\n There are several simple ways to do this so that the back pain does not persist and worsen until it interferes with activities. Here are some of them : \n\n 1. Use cold or warm water to compress. \n\n Compressing the sore back area with cold water can help reduce inflammation or mild injury. The method itself is quite simple. You can wrap the ice in plastic. Then, you can stick it on the sore waist for about 20 minutes. Do this every 2-3 days. \n\n If the pain persists for more than 3 days, you can replace the compress with warm water to relieve tense muscles and increase blood flow. In addition, it is also recommended to take a bath with warm water to provide a relaxing effect. \n\n 2. Exercising Regularly \n\n The next way to deal with back pain is to exercise regularly. Physical activity can strengthen muscles and increase flexibility in the waist area. Later, the symptoms of back pain will subside and prevent it from coming back. \n\n If your back pain doesn't feel too heavy anymore, you can try other light exercises such as swimming, yoga, or a leisurely walk. This type of exercise is good and safe to do when experiencing back pain because it does not burden the joints too much. \n\n 3. Paying attention to the sleeping position \n\n When dealing with back pain, you should also adjust your sleeping position. Try to sleep on your back and put a pillow under your knees. In addition, sleeping on your side can also relieve tense muscles and back pain. Also, put a pillow or bolster on the back of your body. \n\n 4. Maintaining Good Posture \n\n One of the common causes of back pain is the habit of sitting hunched over when working at the computer. It's a good idea to maintain good posture by sitting up straight and making sure you stay relaxed. Try to put a pillow behind the body as a support for the waist. \n\n Sitting on a mat that has a concave back can also relieve pain in the waist area. Avoid sitting for too long because it can make the pain worse. If the job requires a static position for a long time, it's better to do some stretching for a certain time. \n\n 5. Taking Painkillers \n\n To relieve back pain, you can also take pain relievers that are generally sold in pharmacies. Examples of drugs are Paracetamol or Ibuprofen. You should read the instructions for use before you take the medicine. \n\n 6. Exercise the Core of the Body \n\n If the position of the body is too tense, it can cause back pain. Try to increase flexibility because this can relieve tension in the waist and back. You can train flexibility by doing stretching movements. \n\n 7. Quit smoking \n\n Apparently, smoking can not only interfere with lung function but also put pressure on the back. Research conducted and published in the American Journal of Medicine found that smokers and ex-smokers are more likely to experience back pain than non-smokers. \n\n Nicotine will make small blood vessels constrict and reduce blood distribution to soft tissues. This is what, over time, can trigger back pain. \n\n 8. It Stimulates Endorphin Hormones \n\n Another way to deal with back pain is to increase endorphins. This is a hormone that will help block pain signals going to the brain. Ways to stimulate an increase in endorphins can be massage, meditation, exercise, or sex. Besides being able to reduce back pain, this hormone can also reduce anxiety, stress, and depression. \n\n 9.
