Early Detection of Cancer in Children<\/a><\/h3>
Cancer in children is difficult to recognize. Childhood cancer is different from adult cancer. Cancer in adults can be prevented, while in children it cannot. Childhood cancer is not easy to detect early because, in the early stages, sufferers rarely make complaints, and the symptoms are easy to see, so they need to be alert. Cancer in children can arise in various organs of the body. The cure for cancer in children really depends on the type of cancer, the stage of the disease when diagnosed, and the response to treatment. For several types of cancer in children, the cure rate is quite high. \n\n Cancer in children needs to be detected early because if cancer is diagnosed early, the prognosis is better. Stage 1 or 2 cancer has a better prognosis than stage 3 or 4. There are three ways to detect and diagnose cancer early in children, namely: \n\n \n Early detection of cancer in children in high-risk groups, namely: \n\n \n Children with neurocutaneous syndromes (disorders involving the nervous system and skin). \n Chromosomal abnormalities Down syndrome (a genetic disorder) and Fanconi anemia (a rare inherited condition that affects the bone marrow and many other parts of the body). \n Immunodeficiency (a condition when the body is unable to fight infection and disease). \n Previous history of malignancy. \n family history of malignancy. \n congenital defects and syndromes such as Beckwith-Weidman syndrome (impaired growth syndrome), aniridia (absence of the iris), and hemihypertrophy (a condition where one side of the body grows more than the other). \n \n \n Be alert for childhood cancer where the symptoms involve the body's systems. \n \n Hematological system and bone marrow; \n Brain (CNS); \n Lymph gland \n Intra-abdominal tumors; \n Intra-thoracic tumors \n Soft tissue (muscle) and bone \n \n \n Early signs of childhood cancer include: \n \n pallor and purpura; \n persistent fever for no apparent reason; \n weight loss; \n lumps or tumors on the head, abdomen, pelvis, trunk, arms, or legs. \n Enlarged cervical lymph nodes; \n Neurological symptoms, seizures, and headaches; \n Eye symptoms; \n Bone and joint pain \n \n \n \n\n The aim of cancer treatment in children is to destroy or get rid of malignant cancer and to limit or minimize its growth and spread. \n\n Cancer in children, although relatively rare compared to adults, remains a serious problem in the world of health. Cancer in children is difficult to recognize because the symptoms are not specific, and vigilance is needed for the early detection of cancer in children. Children with symptoms suggestive of cancer should be referred to a pediatrician or pediatric cancer center. \n\n Download the Hermina Mobile Apps application to facilitate health access and registration at Hermina Arcamanik Hospital. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Prenatal Examination During Pregnancy<\/a><\/h3>
The examination is carried out to provide reassurance to prospective parents that the fetus is developing normally during pregnancy and that it does not have congenital abnormalities (structural or functional abnormalities that occur during pregnancy and can be identified prenatally, during delivery, or detected later during infancy, such as hearing loss). Approximately 50% of all congenital abnormalities are not related to a specific etiology, but it is known that there is a role for genetic, environmental, other etiology, or other risk factors that are multifactorial. \n\n Based on the severity of congenital abnormalities, they are divided into two categories: major congenital abnormalities and minor congenital abnormalities. Major congenital abnormalities are disorders that have a major impact on the medical, operative, and cosmetic fields and have a high risk of morbidity and death. Minor congenital abnormalities are abnormalities that have little or no impact on the medical, operative, or cosmetic fields and usually have little impact on survival. \n\n The causes and risk factors are genetic factors that play an important role in the occurrence of genetic disorders such as numerical abnormalities (monosomy, trisomy, triploidy, etc.) or structural abnormalities (translocations, deletions, duplications, inversions, etc.), consanguinity (marriage within the family), and parental age (which increases the risk of chromosomal abnormalities, for example, trisomy 21). Socioeconomics plays an indirect role because 94% of severe congenital abnormalities occur in low- or middle-income countries (related to inadequate nutritional intake during pregnancy, increased risk of exposure to infection, or limited access to health facilities or health screening). Nutritional status such as folic acid insufficiency (increases the risk of neural tube defect/NTD (congenital disorder of the central nervous system where the neural tube fails to close), excessive vitamin A intake (affects the normal development of the embryo or fetus), iodine (an important micronutrient for thyroid hormone production and normal fetal development), severe iodine deficiency during pregnancy and the neonatal period is associated with irreversible adverse effects (increased risk of abortion, infant mortality, neonatal hypothyroidism/decreased thyroid hormone production in newborns, cretinism/iodine deficiency, and neuropsychomotor retardation/intellectual impairment). Environment such as working or living near or around rubbish dumps, factories, or mines (especially in mothers with nutritional deficiencies). Maternal infections (viral infections such as rubella, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex, and other infections such as toxoplasmosis, syphilis, and others). \n\n Some prenatal examinations that are usually carried out during pregnancy are routine physical examinations carried out by doctors or midwives to monitor the pregnant woman's vital signs, such as blood pressure, heart rate, and body weight. Apart from that, the doctor can also carry out a physical examination to ensure that the fetus is developing well. The examination uses sound waves to create an image of the fetus in the womb (USG). Ultrasound can be used to determine gestational age, check fetal growth and development, and detect structural abnormalities, if any. Blood tests are performed to check blood sugar levels, genetic disorders, and infections that can affect pregnancy. Laboratory tests to detect proteins or sugars that could indicate health problems, as well as other tests as needed, Early detection examinations such as developmental delay tests, mental delay tests, and motor delay tests can be recommended according to the risks that may be faced by the mother and fetus. Blood sugar checks are carried out to check the risk of gestational diabetes, namely diabetes that appears during pregnancy. HIV and syphilis testing is used to detect and manage infections that can be transmitted from mother to fetus. Genetic counseling is especially important for mothers who have certain genetic risks or a family history of genetic disorders. \n\n This examination may vary depending on the mother's health condition, gestational age, and other risk factors. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider during pregnancy to determine what screening is most appropriate for the individual situation. \n\n Download the Hermina Mobile Apps application to facilitate health access and registration at Hermina Arcamanik Hospital. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

TB is a serious lung condition.<\/a><\/h3>
Do you know what Stomatophage Obstruksi Pasca Tuberkulosis (SOPT) is? \n\n Even today, tuberculosis (TB), one of the oldest infectious illnesses to have ever occurred in the history of human civilization, continues to pose a serious threat to global public health. The patient's lung tissue may suffer irreparable harm from TB, as has long been known. \n\n Even though the patient has recovered from TB and the germs are no longer present, it's possible that this damage won't fully heal. This clinical syndrome, known as Post-Tuberculosis Obstruction Syndrome (SOPT), is a lingering symptom of the disease. \n\n \n\n What Is SOPT? \n\n Airway blockage caused by Post-Tuberculosis Obstructive Syndrome (SOPT) after tuberculosis (TB) as a result of immunological mechanisms during the TB phase. Clinical indicators of shortness of breath can occur in some TB patients, especially when they are active, radiological imaging of the disease can only be classified as fibrotic, and lung function tests can reveal images of irreversible airway obstruction. \n\n These patients fall under the umbrella of Post-TB Obstruction Syndrome. \n\n \n\n How does the SOPT procedure work? \n\n The pathophysiology of SOPT is quite intricate. One of the causes of SPOT is TB infection, which results in significant non-specific inflammation. This persistent inflammation leads to lung function abnormalities, including abnormal lung movement, changes in breathing patterns, decreased relaxation, changes in body posture, and sputum production. \n\n As a result, M. tuberculosis will release poisonous substances into the tissue, causing cellular hypersensitivity and raising the body's sensitivity to bacterial antigens, which will destroy tissue, cause necrosis, and spread the germs more widely. \n\n Lung function issues are the end outcome of this protracted inflammation, which also causes the proteolysis process and the oxidation load to develop significantly over time. \n\n \n\n General Symptoms \n\n \n coughing up mucus \n lacking breath \n Loss of weight \n I have a heavy chest. \n \n \n\n Therapy Which Is Possible \n\n Years later, some former TB patients still report coughing and even have shortness of breath (SOPT). These symptoms are brought on by persistent restrictive and partially obstructive problems in spirometry, as well as permanent lung damage. However, because SOPT is a pulmonary obstruction disease with symptoms resembling COPD, the treatment is also resembling COPD. \n\n Depending on the cause, SOPT therapy is administered. Options for therapy include: \n\n \n Bronchodilator \n Ipratropium bromide, anticholinergic group (0.5 mg) \n Group II agonist: salbutamol (2.5 mg) \n Xanthine group: 200 mg of aminophylline \n Prednisone or methylprednisolone are anti-inflammatory drugs. \n N-acetyl cysteine is an antioxidant. \n oxygen treatment \n Recovery from medication \n \n\n Therefore, it would be preferable if we could protect our lungs from numerous illnesses, including tuberculosis. A lung expert at Hermina Soreang Hospital can examine your lungs. \n\n To make it simpler to access registration at Hermina Soreang Hospital, download the Hermina Mobile Apps app. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Effect of Gadgets on the Eyes<\/a><\/h3>
Gadgets have a big influence on people's lives today. Communication is a basic need, so nowadays gadgets are no longer a luxury item like they were a decade ago. We frequently come across people of all ages, from the lower to the upper classes, who have all used gadgets. With the sophistication of the features contained in gadgets, gadgets are used to simplify tasks and work or as a filler in spare time, starting as a means of communication, games, agendas, watching movies, and knowing the latest news. Gadgets are so attached to everyday life that we often ignore the impact that gadgets have on our health. \n\n Excessive use of gadgets without realizing it can cause dry eye disorders, tired eyes, or asthenopia. There is also a term that we know as Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), which includes dry eyes and tired eyes. CVS, or computer vision syndrome, is a collection of symptoms of eye health problems due to focusing the eyes on the monitor screen continuously for 3 hours or more a day. In children, excessive use of gadgets can cause an increased risk of myopia, nearsightedness, or both. \n\n Generally, CVS sufferers will complain of headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, neck pain, red eyes, double vision, difficulty focusing the eyes, and even fatigue. Patients who experience dry eyes will complain of red, sore, itchy, and watery eyes. Meanwhile, complaints of tired eyes (or eyestrain orasthenopia) include eyes feeling tired, uncomfortable, and watery; they can be accompanied by headaches and blurry vision. \n\n In children, complaints of dry eyes are difficult for them to convey; usually they are marked by complaints of frequent blinking. Although allergies can also cause complaints of frequent blinking. \n\n CVS occurs because the eye muscles become tense and tired from looking at a computer screen for too long, and the eyes also become dry because, generally, the number of blinks a person makes when looking at a computer screen decreases so that the eyes lack tears. Yet in one minute, to keep the eyes moist, a person must blink at least 17 times. These symptoms can also be exacerbated by lights that are too bright or air conditioning winds that are too strong, causing dry eyes. \n\n In children, excessive use of gadgets can cause an increased risk of nearsightedness or myopia. If a child already has a tendency to be nearsighted due to genetic factors that are passed down from parents who have myopia, then the risk of adding myopia to the child's eyes can be faster with excessive use of gadgets. It's not the gadgets that cause myopia but the activities of children who are used to seeing objects at close range excessively. It will distract and defocus their eyes on distant objects. The risk of myopia can appear earlier or the added minus can be bigger. \n\n CVS complaints are temporary and can be overcome by resting. Computer vision syndrome is not dangerous and can heal by itself, but of course it will interfere with activities and work if you don't understand how to prevent it. \n\n Ways to handle these complaints include: \n\n \n Using moisturizing eye drops to treat dry eyes \n Rest your eyes by looking 20 feet (6 meters) away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes while staring at the monitor screen continuously, or what we know as the 20-20-20 rule. \n Carry out regular eye examinations at the eye doctor at least once every 6 months. \n Rest your eyes by looking 20 feet (6 meters) away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes while staring at the monitor screen continuously according to the 20-20-20 rule. \n Adjust the room's lighting and monitor screen. If you often use a laptop or computer for activities, you should place the monitor about 50 to 60 centimeters from your eyes. The lighting from the monitor should not be too bright or too dim. The monitor screen is positioned so as to avoid glare from windows or excessive room lighting. So, monitor light and lighting in the room should be moderate. \n When using a smart phone or tablet, the font or writing size can be enlarged and set at a distance of approximately 30–40 cm from the eye and lower than eye level. The center of the gadget screen is between 10–23 cm below the eye position. \n \n\n The human eye is only able to see light with a wavelength of 400 nm–760 nm, which is called visible light. Visible light is needed by our eyes in the process of vision so that we can recognize various colors of objects. Visible light also has bad side effects, especially blue light, which has a wavelength of 415–455 nm. Blue light is everywhere around us; everyone is at risk of being exposed to blue light. Sources of blue light include the sun, televisions, smartphones, and other gadgets; LED screens; and even fluorescent lights. The accumulation of long-term exposure to blue light that enters the eye can accelerate macular degeneration. \n\n The macula is the part of the retina (the nerve lining of the eye) that functions as central vision. Patients with macular degeneration will experience problems with their central vision because the cells in the macula have been damaged by exposure to UV rays and blue light. Unfortunately, this disease cannot be cured and is a cause of blindness. \n\n To overcome this, you need eyeglass lenses that can filter out blue light radiation (commonly called blue cut To overcome this, you need eyeglass lenses that can filter out blue light radiation (commonly called "blue cut lenses"), you need to stop smoking and adopt a healthy lifestyle, and you shouldn't forget to consume foods that contain the anti-oxidants lutein and zeaxanthin. Food sources rich in lutein and zeaxanthin include vegetables and fruits such as kale, spinach, broccoli, turnip greens, sweet corn, tomatoes, peas, beans, eggs, oranges, and carrots. \n\n Download the Hermina Mobile Apps application to facilitate health access and registration at Hermina Arcamanik Hospital. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Why is the early-trimester check important?<\/a><\/h3>
First trimester obstetric examinations are critical for mothers and prospective babies to monitor the pregnancy process and ensure the mother's health as well as the growth and development of the fetus inside. In the first trimester of pregnancy, fetal organs such as the nervous system, brain, and heart have begun to develop. \n\n Trimester screening can be done earlier than other prenatal checks. so that pregnant women get the results of the report at an early stage of pregnancy. The examination gives reliable results and shows that your fetal development is fine. \n\n If the report shows a high risk, the couple has more time to consider further diagnostic tests to be carried out, observing the growth and development of the fetus during pregnancy, considering possible treatment, and ensuring a good start in life for the baby's growth and development. \n\n There are two types of prenatal examination: non-invasive examination and invasive examination. An invasive examination is a diagnostic procedure used to determine chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus. Invasive examinations are done by inserting a needle into the uterus. \n\n Common invasive tests include amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling. Amniocentesis is a procedure to examine a sample of amniotic fluid, and this procedure can be recommended for pregnant women at 14–20 weeks of gestation. Chorionic villus sampling is a pregnancy test that aims to detect genetic abnormalities in the fetus. This examination is carried out at the age of 9.5–12.5 weeks of pregnancy. Invasive examinations carry a higher risk of miscarriage and other complications during pregnancy. \n\n Non-invasive examination, which has a high level of accuracy in detecting potential chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus. Common non-invasive examinations include nuchal translucency ultrasound (a measurement of the thickness of the fluid in the back of the neck of the fetus, which is generally done at 10 to 13 weeks of gestation), combined screening in the first and second trimesters (> 12 weeks), Multiple marker blood tests are performed at the second, third, and fourth examinations (13–18 weeks). The NIPT (non-invasive prenatal test) is a non-invasive prenatal examination to detect possible genetic abnormalities in the fetus (10 weeks). Non-invasive examinations only require a small sample of the mother's blood and have no risk of miscarriage. \n\n Get screened in the first trimester of pregnancy to have more time to plan and prepare for health problems that the fetus may have. \n\n Download the Hermina Mobile Apps application to facilitate health access and registration at Hermina Arcamanik Hospital. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Importance of Childhood Immunization: Let Us Pursue Delayed Immunizations <\/a><\/h3>
Immunization is an effort to actively generate or increase a person's immunity against a disease so that if they are exposed to it one day, they will not get sick or only experience a mild illness. \n\n Vaccines are antigens in the form of microorganisms that are dead, still alive but weakened, still intact, or parts thereof, which have been processed into microorganism toxins that have been processed into toxoids, recombinant proteins, which, when given to a person, will cause active specific immunity against certain infectious diseases. There are 12 types of vaccine-preventable diseases (PD3I) in the national immunization program, namely: diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, tuberculosis, measles, rubella, poliomyelitis, hepatitis B, meningitis, pneumonia, Japanese encephalitis, and human papilloma virus. \n\n The goal of immunization in general is to reduce morbidity, disability, and death from diseases that can be prevented by immunization (PD3I). The specific goals are to achieve coverage of Complete Basic Immunization (IDL) in infants in accordance with the RPJMN target, to achieve Universal Child Immunization/UCI (minimum percentage of 80% of babies receiving IDL in a village/kelurahan) in all villages/kelurahans, to achieve the target of advanced immunization for children under two years old (baduta) and for elementary school-aged children and women of childbearing age (WUS), to achieve. \n\n Compulsory immunization is immunization that is required by the government for a person according to their needs in order to protect the person concerned and the surrounding community from certain infectious diseases. Compulsory immunization consists of routine immunization, additional immunization, and special immunization. \n\n Routine immunization is an immunization activity that is carried out continuously according to a schedule. Routine immunization includes both basic and follow-up immunization. Basic immunization includes vaccines against Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), Pentabio (DPT/Diphtheria Pertussis Tetanus, Hepatitis B, and Haemophilus influenzae types), Hepatitis B, Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV), Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV), and Measles. Follow-up immunization is repeated immunization to maintain the level of immunity or to extend the period of protection. This immunization is given to children under three years old (toddlers), elementary school-age children, and women of childbearing age. Follow-up immunizations include the DT, Td, and TT vaccines. \n\n Additional immunization is given to certain age groups who are most at risk of disease according to epidemiological studies at a certain time period. Additional immunization activities include fighting the backlog, the crash program, PIN (National Immunization Week), Sub-PIN, the catch-up campaign for measles, and immunization in handling outbreak immunity (ORI). \n\n Special immunization is an immunization activity carried out to protect the community against certain diseases in certain situations. Certain situations include preparations for the departure of prospective Hajj and Umrah pilgrims, preparations for travel to certain disease-endemic countries, and conditions of extraordinary events. Specific types of immunization, among others, consist of meningitis vaccination, meningococcal vaccination, yellow fever vaccination, and anti-rabies vaccination. \n\n Selective immunizations are immunizations that can be given to someone according to their needs in order to protect them from certain infectious diseases, namely the MMR, Hib, Typhoid, Varicella, Hepatitis A, Influenza, Pneumococcal, Rotavirus, Japanese Encephalitis, and HPV vaccines. \n\n To ensure long-term protection, immunize children as soon as possible and complete them according to schedule and age category. \n\n Friends of Hermina who wish to obtain child vaccine services at Hermina Arcamanik Hospital should consult the service schedule or call the call center at 1500-488 or 896-7270-1027. \n\n Download the Hermina Mobile Apps application to facilitate health access and registration at Hermina Arcamanik Hospital. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

There is no medicine to cure polio<\/a><\/h3>
The government, through the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, established polio extraordinary event (KLB) status on November 19, 2022, after a polio case was found in a 7-year-old child who had never received polio immunization in Pidie District, Aceh. There have been three polio patients discovered there as of today (November 22, 2022) (Detikhealth). \n\n Dr. Piprim Basarah Yanuarso, SpA (K), Chairman of the IDAI (Indonesian Pediatrician Association), stated that it is not impossible that the virus will spread to many other provinces, as happened in 2005, when polio cases were discovered not only in Cidahu, Sukabumi, and West Java but also in several other provinces. \n\n In 2014, Indonesia was declared free from polio thanks to the success of the immunization program. However, immunization coverage continues to decline, especially during the pandemic, which is the reason for the reappearance of outbreaks (extraordinary events). \n\n Polio (poliomyelitis) is a highly contagious disease caused by a viral infection. The poliovirus belongs to the human enterovirus group, which replicates in the intestine and is excreted in the feces. Polio attacks the nervous system and can cause complete paralysis. Polio is commonly experienced by children, but that does not mean that adults are not at risk of being exposed to polio, so proper prevention is an effective measure to avoid exposure to the virus that causes polio. \n\n Polio is spread from person to person via fekal-oral (dari tinja penderita) or, more recently, via air or food, which is contaminated and grows rapidly. It is possible to grow all of your hair, especially if you are under the age of five. The incubation period for the polio virus is 3-6 days, and the recovery period is 7–21 days. Most people (90%) do not have a disease or have a severe disease that cannot be diagnosed. In other cases, the initial symptoms are demam, lelah, nyeri kepala, muntah, kaku kuduk, and nyeri pada anggota tubuh. One of the 200 events causes irreversible growth. 5–10% of the population suffers as a result of lumpuh pernafasan. \n\n Polio can only be eradicated through vaccination, the most effective method of prevention (vaccination as soon as possible after birth), and healthy living (PHBS). There is no cure for polio, but it can be treated by following some guidelines from your doctor, such as taking bed rest, getting antispasmodics to make you feel better, and getting antibiotics. \n\n If you have signs or symptoms of polio and are not sure if you have ever gotten a vaccine, you should immediately go to the doctor to ask about the disease you are suffering from. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Cataracts: Causes, Types, and Prevention<\/a><\/h3>
A cataract is a clouding that occurs in part or all of the lens of the eye. This will decrease vision, as clouding the eye's lens will cause light to not be refracted properly. \n\n Cataracts in the eye can be caused by several factors, namely, age/degenerative factors; high UV exposure to the eyes; being a tropical country with the sun shining all year round (Indonesia has a relatively large number of cataract sufferers); drug abuse/supplements, especially steroids; systemic disease (diabetes mellitus) and other eye diseases (uveitis); blunt and sharp trauma or accidents to the eye; previous eye surgery; other unknown factors such as congenital cataracts (congenital abnormalities). \n\n Common symptoms of cataracts include blurred or cloudy vision that is not visible at all, sensitive eyes to light or glare, frequent changes to eyeglass or contact lens prescriptions, glare in bright areas, and clearer vision in dimly lit rooms. Blurred vision or double vision \n\n If cataracts are not treated, they can interfere with quality of life. Driving can be affected, which can be dangerous and also a danger to others. Many people become blind from untreated cataracts, and cataracts can even lead to total blindness if left untreated for a long time. In addition, in some people, it can also cause inflammation in the eye or glaucoma. \n\n Surgery to treat cataracts is the only proven way to remove cataracts by removing the opaque lens and replacing it with a new lens. This procedure is safe and very effective. Cataract surgery involves two phases, namely removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with an intraocular lens or implanted lens. \n\n At Hermina Arcamanik Hospital, cataract surgery uses a phacoemulsification technique with local anesthesia. The patient is usually given a sedative to make the operation comfortable. Anaesthetic drops and local anesthetic are injected around the eye. Phacoemulsification is the process of destroying cataracts by using ultrasound power with a needle the size of a ballpoint pen that vibrates 40,000 times per second. The shattered lens is filled with water and aspirated out. Finally, an implanted lens or intraocular lens is inserted. The operation is completed in 15–30 minutes. \n\n The advantages of the phacoemulsification technique include faster recovery so that patients can return to normal activities and smaller incisions than those used in conventional surgery. \n\n If a person has cataracts and blurred vision that makes it difficult to do anything, it is time to consider cataract surgery. Surgery on each eye is performed on separate days, but often at one or two-week intervals. This approach allows the first eye to recover and your vision in that eye to stabilize before surgery is performed on the other eye. It will take a few days to a few weeks to stabilize after cataract surgery. The doctor will prescribe glasses just 4 weeks after surgery. While waiting those 4 weeks, you can put on your old glasses, although you may realize your vision isn't ideal. \n\n That's what you need to know about cataract surgery. If you or someone close to you notices symptoms of cataracts, immediately make an appointment with an ophthalmologist at Hermina Arcamanik Hospital. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>
