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

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

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>

Be alert, don't underestimate the symptoms of a stroke!<\/a><\/h3>
A stroke is a medical emergency because without a supply of oxygen and nutrients, the cells in the affected part of the brain can die in just a matter of minutes. As a result, the body parts controlled by these brain areas cannot function properly. \n\n Definition of stroke \n\n Stroke is a symptom of a deficit of nerve function caused by cerebrovascular disease, not by other causes (WHO). Impaired nerve function in stroke is caused by non-traumatic cerebral blood circulation disorders. These nerve disorders cause symptoms including: facial paralysis or limbs, speech is not fluent, speech is not clear (pelo), changes in consciousness, visual disturbances, and others. \n\n Stroke is the number one cause of disability and the second cause of death in the world after ischemic heart disease in both developed and developing countries. \n\n Causes of stroke \n\n In general, stroke can be divided into 2 types, namely hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke. The difference between the two is that a hemorrhagic stroke occurs due to a ruptured blood vessel in the brain, whereas an ischemic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain becomes blocked. Narrowing or rupturing of these blood vessels can occur due to several factors, such as: \n\n 1. High blood pressure \nOne of the most common causes of stroke is high blood pressure or hypertension. Blood pressure that is too high can cause the arteries that carry blood and oxygen to burst or become blocked, causing a stroke. \n\n 2. High cholesterol \nHigh cholesterol conditions can also be a cause of stroke. The reason is, cholesterol can cause plaque buildup on the walls of blood vessels and trigger atherosclerosis. If left unchecked, this condition can lead to blockages that end up being a stroke. \n\n 3. Diabetes \nIn addition to high cholesterol levels, diabetes. can also cause a stroke. High blood sugar levels in the body can damage the walls of blood vessels. Damaged blood vessels can cause blood clots and form blockages, so the chances of a stroke increase. \n\n 4. Brain aneurysm \nBrain aneurysm is one of the causes of hemorrhagic stroke. The walls of blood vessels that have aneurysms will become weak and fragile, so they break easily. This condition can lead to a stroke. \n\n 5. Arrhythmia \nThe next cause of stroke is arrhythmia or heart rhythm disturbances. Arrhythmias cause irregular blood flow into and out of the heart. This makes the blood prone to clotting and forming blockages in blood vessels. \n\n If these clots are carried in the bloodstream to the brain, blockages in the blood vessels of the brain can arise and trigger a stroke. In addition to the factors above, stroke can also occur as a result of certain medical habits or conditions, such as smoking, obesity, severe head injuries, heart disease, and others. \n\n \n\n Stroke symptoms and prevention \n\n Stroke treatment can be done by providing appropriate treatment and as soon as possible since a stroke occurs. Therefore, it is important to recognize the early symptoms of stroke. The Indonesian Ministry of Health introduces the early symptoms of stroke to the public with the slogan "URGENTLY TO the hospital" which means: \n\n \n Asymmetrical smile \n The motion of half of the limbs suddenly weakened \n Speaks or suddenly can't speak \n Half body tingling \n Myopic or sudden blurry vision in one eye \n Sudden severe headache and impaired balance function \n \n\n In addition to recognizing the symptoms, Friends of Hermina must also understand how to prevent stroke, which is known as "CERDIK". Some steps that can be taken include: \n\n \n Regular health check \n Get rid of cigarette smoke \n Do physical activity \n Balanced diet \n Enough rest \n Manage stress \n \n\n Stroke at a young age can be prevented by regular exercise, a healthy diet, monitoring blood pressure, and stopping an unhealthy lifestyle (smoking, drugs, and alcohol). If the symptoms of stroke continue, you should immediately discuss a consultation with a neurologist at RSU Hermina Pandanaran. \n\n \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>"); $('#div_next_link').html(" <\/span>");
