Jakarta , Many people are more familiar with the example of chronic diseases as diabetes and heart disease . Though there are several other types of chronic diseases that are not less dangerous , even contagious .By definition , chronic disease is a condition which lasted long . Often to be ' seen ' , this condition must go through a long clinical course .
Moreover , in terms of etiologic factors or causes , chronic disease generally multifaktoral . "It can only be because of stress , other factors , " said Dr. Ikhsan
Mokoagow , SpPD , MMedSci , a specialist in internal medicine .It was conveyed in the event Pfizer Class Journalist held in Sere
Sweet , Jl H Agus Salim , Jakarta , and was written on Wednesday (
16/04/2014 ) .
Until now there is no definitive cure for chronic diseases . This is according to Dr. Ikhsan still a major problem for the treatment of chronic disease patients ." Chronic disease is divided into two : non-communicable ( non -
communicable ) and infectious ( communicable ) , " said a doctor who
completed his specialization studies in the Faculty of Medicine,
University of Indonesia.
Chronic non-communicable diseases among them heart disease and blood vessel ( cardiovascular ) ; cancer ; Chronic lung disease (such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ) ; and diabetes ."
While chronic infectious diseases including HIV - AIDS and chronic
hepatitis . 's Special hepatitis especially hepatitis B and C. Generally
occurs imperceptibly and eventually decreased liver function , " said
Dr. Ikhsan .
Texas , long the vaccine for hepatitis C have not been found . And it was so chronic , the only way that can be done to heal only with liver transplantation . However, recently a group of U.S. researchers find new drugs for hepatitis C.
The
existence of this new drug gives hope to the more than 200,000 people
in the UK are infected with hepatitis C. Because of the many patients ,
only 3 percent are able to get proper treatment . And that's not necessarily cure the patient fully .
"
Current medicines are injections that must be administered continuously
for a year and have side effects such as patients become depressed ,
tired easily and often did not feel well . 's Also not safe for patients
with hepatitis C who have cirrhosis , " said lead researcher Dr. Fred Poordad .Homemade oral drug team of researchers from the University of Texas
Health Science that claimed to cure 90 percent of patients with
hepatitis C in just 12 weeks .The claims come after researchers tested the new drugs involving 380
patients from 78 clinics spread across Spain , Germany , Britain , and
the United States in 2013 .
Experiments were performed 2 times , the first one lasted for 12 weeks and the second 24 weeks . Incidentally most of the patients included liver cirrhosis .It turned out that after 12 weeks , 191 of 208 patients declared '
clean ' of hepatitis C. Even in patients who followed a 24-week trial ,
patients who recovered increased from the initially only 165 people to
172 people , or 96 percent .
" This is really fantastic . I also unhappy with the condition of the
patient . Finally they have a future , " said Dr. Fred proud , as quoted
detikHealth of the BBC, Tuesday ( 15/04/2014 ) .Dr. Fred added this drug works by preventing the proteins that cause hepatitis C to replicate or proliferate . " In the end the virus is dead , " he added .
But Dr. Fred also suggests these drugs cause side effects in patients such as fatigue , headache and nausea .Although impressed with this new breakthrough , Gkikas Magiorkinis
virology expert from the University of Oxford is still in doubt because
the study did not mempelihatkan whether the cancer will recover in the
long term , when sirosisnya can be fixed or symptoms of liver damage
total tends to slow down ."
The treatment was also not guarantee the transmission or transmission
of hepatitis C in the future will happen again or not , " he added .
Seoul , Overview respiratory problems had nothing to do with bone health . But apparently a new study finds people who have respiratory problems such as asthma at high risk for bone loss .
This
conclusion is obtained research team from Seoul National University
Medical Research Center after analyzing the medical records of 7,034
patients . It was found that participants who were diagnosed with asthma have
lower bone density than those who do not have asthma , especially in the
lower part of the spine ( lumbar spine ) .
Which
is a special characteristic of the participants were diagnosed with
asthma as well as having low bone density is a phenomenon called '
airway hyperresponsiveness ' . This means that the respiratory tract in the lungs of the patient is
very sensitive and can easily happen asthma attacks though the trigger
is not so great .The number of patients who have both reached 216 people . 45 percent of them reported having osteopenia or bone density is below
normal and 6 percent suffer from osteoporosis (brittle bones ) .Though the group of participants who did not experience ' airway
hyperresponsiveness ' , only 30 percent of people who otherwise suffer
from osteopenia and osteoporosis four percent .
However,
as quoted by Reuters on Tuesday ( 04/15/2014 ) , researchers claimed to
not know what the exact reason why this condition could occur . It's just that they suspect steroid use as an asthma medication side effects such as bone loss , including bone fractures .
National
Institutes of Health describes steroids can decrease bone formation by
preventing the absorption of calcium into the body . Not only that , these kind of drugs also interfere with the production
of sex hormones , which in turn causes the muscles to weaken and
increase the risk of falls or fractures .
"
Suffering with asthma may be at risk of bone loss . Yet the extent to
which the risk is still to be studied more in depth , " said Dr. Sonal
Singh of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine , Baltimore ,
Maryland , responded to this study .
Oxford , For some people , smoking is a powerful way to relieve the stress they feel . When in fact , if it wants to be rid of a problem that really is stopped completely from smoking . Well !
Even the results of a review by a group of researchers from the
University of Oxford said the benefits of stopping smoking on mood and
mental health improvement was as great as taking antidepressant
medication .For the purposes of this study , researchers reviewing data from 26 studies on smoking cessation . Some of these special highlight of patients with psychiatric disorders . And researchers noted the average participant could spend 20 cigarettes per day .
All of the participants were asked to quit smoking during the study . Then the researchers compared the mental health of each participant prior to quitting smoking and six months thereafter .
It turns out that , when compared with those who remained keukeuh
smoke , a number of studies show a decrease in the level of anxiety ,
depression , psychological conditions including quality improvement
among participants who deign to stop his bad habits .
But some experts pessimistic response to this study . " Some cultures believe smoking ' can calm the nerves ' and help ease
the tension a person being trapped in certain situations , " said
psychiatrist Benjamin Le Cook of Cambridge Health Alliance , Somerville ,
Massachusetts .
Moreover, according to Brian Hitsman from Northwestern University
Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago , can be seen mental health
disorder researchers in this study is not actually a real mental
disorder , but a symptom of withdrawal or withdrawal after quitting
smoking .
"
( But ) that clearly when they quit smoking , they will feel better
than when they smoked tobacco . Indeed, when the early stopping , they
usually grumpy and irritable , but in fact we 're helping fix their
mental state , " said one researcher , Dr. Paul Aveyard told Reuters on Friday ( 04/11/2014 ) .
Aveyard
and his colleagues also believe that smokers can be given the
understanding that quitting smoking is closely related to mental health
improvement .
Jakarta
, the total healing is most expected by any person affected by any
disease , not to mention tuberculosis ( TB ) breast . Effort and ' sacrifice ' made breast in patients taking TB drugs for
6 months more to make them wish that had contracted the disease will
never come back again .
But for breast TB patients , is likely to be re- exposed to the same disease still occurs . This is because breast TB is an infectious disease caused by bacteria .
"
TB is an infection of the breast is not it , so it may recur again .
Once the surgery was already done , " said Dr. Anwar Spb Bahar ( K ) Onk
, a different specialist oncology detikHealth when contacted , and
written on Friday ( 11/4 / 2014 ) .
Doctor
who practiced in London Muhammadiyah Hospital revealed that the
possibility of a recurrence of breast TB is actually almost the same as
the recurrence of the flu that can infect humans at any time . " If for example, someone with the flu continues to take medication
and eventually recovered , and the next he could be right with the flu
again . Tuberculosis too. TB is caused by germs that it could indeed
continue to attack when the immune system is weak , " he added .
Dr. Bahar added , breast TB can recur due to re- infection in the breast . This may be due to the germs that enter it like one of those places in the breast so that the bacteria can re-infect .
"In medical terms this as a place of predilection , that is a kind of disease that tend to nest in certain places , " he said .
Jakarta , this time , there are still many people who think of cerebral palsy is a disease . Question about ' Can heal ' frequently asked many people , including the parents of children with cerebral palsy.
This was expressed directly by Aldi Wisra , S.Ft , a physiotherapist for special children who need special needs . "
It has been often asked is when recovered or whether it can be cured .
Fact that's cerebral palsy is not a disease , " said Aldi to detikHealth
when met at the Harvest Event Hore held in Casa Goya Residence , Kebun
Orange , West Jakarta , and written on Monday ( 07/04/2014 ) .
The word ' cured ' are synonymous and are more related to the disease . That is emphasized by Aldi . Physiotherapists practicing in Walk This Way ( WTW ) Kebun Orange
revealed that cerebral palsy is a disorder , so the recovery is not
healing like diseases in general .
" Disturbances in cerebral palsy also vary . Someone interrupted in
one part of the body , such as the left foot . Treatment was usually not
too long . But if that bothered her legs too , so long therapy is
different , " he explained .
According
to Aldi , the purpose of treatment or therapy that is performed for
children with cerebral palsy are more leads to independence . Independence in the sense of preparation for his future life . Not only to move , but also independently to be productive .
" It is not possible parents can always be with them , so yes they
should be independent . When they are considered to be independent with a
convincing , treatment can really finish , " said Aldi ." The earlier the treatment , the sooner it will be progress and demonstrated their independence , " he said .
Jakarta , pictorial warnings about the dangers that can be caused by smoking is one way to reduce the number of new smokers . Still not enough , the UK plans to issue regulations governing the order packs of cigarettes are sold without a brand .
Regulations on the sale of cigarette packs without brand previously been applied by Australia in 2012 . In the land of the kangaroo , cigarettes sold in plain packaging
without light green brand , while still include pictorial warnings
caused by smoking such as cancer of the mouth and lungs .
Jane
Ellison , Junior Minister for Public Health England said that the draft
law has been published will be ready end of April 2014. The British government argued that the application of this rule will
be ready at least next year , with the goal of improving public health
and reducing the number of children of smokers .Cyril Chantler , a senior pediatrician and involved in drafting the
bill hope that with this law , the number of new smokers among children
will decrease .
"
The evidence displayed is limited , however, have indicated that
direction ( a decrease in the number of new smokers children ) . And I
do not find other evidence that refutes it , " said 74 -year -old
pediatrician as quoted from Reuters and written on Monday ( 07/04/2014 ) .
Smoking causes the death of 6 million people per year. WHO says that even that number will increase to 8 million people in 2030 . By adopting this legislation , Britain will be the second country in
the world and first in Europe that sell cigarettes in plain packs .
The existence of this bill caused a strong reaction from the tobacco industry in the UK . They
reasoned that the sales of the brand of cigarettes without violating
their intellectual property rights , copyright infringement and of
course limit the sale . Philip Morris as one of the world's largest cigarette industry also issued a statement.
"
The government should not rush to process the bill without doing a full
assessment as they promised . Wrap cigarette plain does not decrease
the number of smokers , did not deter new smokers and lead to a sharp
increase in sales of black market cigarettes , " as quoted from Reuters .
Jakarta , a heart attack can strike anyone at times unexpected . A woman in Hawaii who previously declared healthy , experienced while wisdom teeth pulled . Now he is in a coma .
Christian Tavares ( 23 years ) , mother of two children fighting a life and death after suffering a heart attack last week . Women who recently gave birth to her second child three months ago is
now in a coma , whereas previously otherwise healthy and had no drug
allergies .
The officers at the clinic of Dr. John Stover using a defibrillator to make the heart throb Tavares back . Because not much helped , Tavares was flown to Maui , and there was the clerk said the woman unresponsive condition .
Even according to the doctor , Tavarez heart is too weak to undergo any medical treatment . It is not known for sure what causes it , but a health expert who was
not involved in this case suspect problems with breathing ."
Statistically , usually associated with airway . Perhaps no part of the
body goes into the airways, possibly teeth or pieces of cloth , or
patient vomiting and meet the entrance to the airway or lungs , " said
Orr Danei of Maxillofacial Surgery and Anesthesiology , such as quoted from Dailymail , Monday ( 24/03/2014 ) .Dr.
Stover who had 3 dental surgery clinics in Hawaii and had a license to
beah plastic , has yet to comment on the case of Tavares . Earlier in the period 2012-2013 , Dr. Stover received two complaints
but neither the legal process proceed for lack of evidence .
This year , Tavares case is the second case that makes the patient into a coma while undergoing dental surgery . January, Finley Boyle ( 3 years ) also fell into a coma while undergoing routine dental procedures .American
Association for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons said , serious problems
or even death while undergoing a routine procedure enumerated by
dentists is very rare , estimated that only 1 out of 365,000 cases . Usually , due to brain injury while under the influence of drugs .
Jakarta, the number of cases of urinary incontinence in Indonesia is quite high . Not only in Indonesia , but also in developed countries , such as America .Not easy to diagnose whether a person is suffering from urinary incontinence or not . In
addition to a period of up to a factor of symptoms is fairly long ,
there are still many Indonesian people who think the symptoms of urinary
incontinence is something that happens naturally . For example, as ' wetting ' when laughing , in which case it could be one of the early indications of urinary incontinence .
However, the diagnosis of urinary incontinence can not be given arbitrarily . Required long periods of time and the right to verify . So, how best to find out what really happened from a variety of symptoms are there?" Urodynamics is the right tool to examine and evaluate patients who indicated suffering from incontinence , " said Dr. . dr . Imam
Budi Santoso , SpOG ( K ) , a specialist uroginekologi , when met at
the opening ceremony and press conference Uroginekologi RSIA YPK SELF
Clinic held at Graha Mandiri , Jl . Imam Bonjol , Central Jakarta , and was written on Monday ( 03/24/2014 ) .
Dr. Budi revealed that urodynamic can be a tool that is able to
provide counseling , patient data information complication rates ,
patient expectations even answer if there is an indication of disease
incontinence ." Urodynamic examination is the examination of the best
subspesialistik even to describe the function of the bladder , where the
bladder can find the problem is not clear why , " said Dr. Blake.
The same thing is spoken by Dr. Fernandi Moegni , SpOG ( K ) , a specialist in RSIA YPK uroginekologi Mandiri , Jakarta. According to him , urodynamic will help explain to patients about the symptoms of bladder problems , not just incontinence ." Urodynamics can explain the various symptoms of bladder problems ,
such as symptoms of urinary frequency , urinary incontinence , pain
during urination , urinary tract infections to recur , " said Dr.
Fernandi .Urodynamics mentioned will not affect the treatment of other clinical procedures . In this urodynamic , the patient will be placed catheter to see the condition of the bladder , whether problematic or not .
Nevertheless, Dr. Budi also admitted that there is a lack of urodynamic this . "
The downside was , the patient may feel less comfortable , such as pain
due to be installed catheter , maybe even shy . Additionally , the cost
of which is not required for the urodynamic cheap . Quite expensive , "
said Dr. Blake.
Jakarta , if ideal body weight , most people will not give a damn about the waistline . In fact , health is not only influenced by body mass index alone . Recent studies have reported that the width of the waist can increase the risk of death even though the ideal body weight .
Dr.
James R. Cerhan of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester , Minnesota , has
analyzed 11 different studies involving more than 650,000 adult
participants . The participants in the study from January 1986 to December 2000 , aged 20 and 83 years .
The participants were monitored for an average of nine years , and during that time , as many as 78 268 participants died . Published as analysis , researchers found a link between their deaths with a waist size .
Men with a waist circumference of 109 cm or more , have a risk of death 50 % higher than the male robin waist under 89 cm . Being women , they are robin waist more than 94 cm have a risk of death 80 % higher than women who robin waist under 68 cm .
Dr. Tim . Cerhan also found that each increase in waist size by 5 centimeters,
the risk of death increased by approximately 7 % in men and 9% in women .
Less pleasant , normal weight will not prevent a person from death risk . Both normal weight and obese , a wider waistline equally increase the risk of death .
"
Our main target is to avoid both the high body mass index and waist
circumference were wide . Those patients waisted wide , reduce the size
through exercise and diet , even a few inches , it would be beneficial
essential for good health . " Thus concluded Dr. Cerhan , as quoted by the Huffington Post , Thursday ( 03/20/2014 ) .
Jakarta , As one type of exercise that can help maintain a healthy body , ran into many people's favorite activities . Well , if the main purpose of running is to lose weight , then it should be when the right time to eat ?
Quoted
from Health.com , Thursday ( 03/20/2014 ) , things you need to know
first is to understand the type of fuel your body uses during exercise ,
whether carbohydrate , fat or protein . According to Emily Brown , a former professional runner once nutritionists , this depends on the intensity of exercise .
For low-intensity exercise or run in a slow tempo , the main fuel source is fat . While high -intensity exercise or run in a faster tempo and rhythmic , will use more carbohydrates as fuel .
Do not eat before a run affects the type of fuel you use during exercise . " If carbohydrates are not available because of not eating before
running , the body will use a higher amount of body fat as fuel , " said
Brown .
Even so , it does not mean you will burn more total calories . In fact it can be said you will burn fewer calories because you may
not be able to run as far or as fast as if you have already eaten
before.
For the novice runner , Brown suggest you to first determine what type of intake right before the run . You are encouraged to consume food choices like bananas , yogurt , peanut butter , oatmeal , and wheat .
"
You can burn more calories by running faster or farther . , You can
burn more calories by challenging myself in different ways . Instance
running on the ground or running uphill intervals varying tempo , " said
Brown .
Jakarta , TB or Tuberculosis is a disease that infects the respiratory tract and lungs . Common symptoms encountered in TB include severe cough , fever and weight loss continuously. Then , what is the relationship between TB and HIV - AIDS ?
The WHO report says 8.6 million people contracted TB in 2012 , with 1.3 million of them died . The report said that 320,000 of the 1.3 million people with tuberculosis who die are those with HIV - AIDS ( PLWHA ) .
Meanwhile in Indonesia , there are 460,000 new cases of TB occur each year , and 3 percent of whom are also HIV positive. Director General of Disease Control and Environmental Health ( P2PL )
Prof. Tjandra Yoga Aditama said that the relationship between HIV and TB
originated from Latent TB .
Latent
TB or latent TB is a condition in which a person has the bacteria
mycobacterium tuberculosis which causes tuberculosis in the body , but
the bacteria are inactive or asleep . So they do not feel pain in the respiratory tract or lungs like tuberculosis sufferers .
As is well known in general , HIV is a virus that attacks the human immune system . If people with latent TB infected with HIV , the bacteria that had
been asleep or awake and active to passive attack the body due to a
weakened immune system .
"
So he ( TB Lltent ) initially fresh healthy fit . However get HIV ,
weakened immune systems , TB bacteria had finished active again , " said
Prof. Tjandra after the event 2nd Stop TB Partnership Forum South East
Asia , Western Pacific and the Eastern Mediterranean in Hotel Sultan , Jl Gatot Subroto , South Jakarta , Thursday ( 03/20/2014 ) .
The WHO report states that one-third of the total population in the world is Latent TB . To that end , Health Minister Nafsiah Mboi appealed to the public to always run a Clean and Healthy Behaviors ( PHBs ) .
"
With PHBs , many diseases can be prevented , including TB and HIV -
AIDS . Do not forget to take medication correctly and regularly , " he
concluded .
Jakarta , Tuberculosis ( TB ) is an infectious disease caused by the tubercle bacillus . Germs are out through droplets can be inhaled by the patient and those around him . Not just a ' nested ' in the lungs , TB bacteria can also invade other organs such as the heart , brain and kidneys .
"The
first time you log in , it 's got the body immune system yes , so germs
- bacteria were eaten up by the cells. Lose it actually makes the cells
die , then the bacteria enter the lung tissue and make a nest , " said
Dr. M. Arifin Nawas , SPP ( K ) , MARS , Chairman of the Executive Committee of the
Association of Physicians Pulmonary Indonesia ( PDPI ) , in a press
conference held at Hotel Akmani , Jl KH Wahid Hasyim , Jakarta , Thursday ( 03/20/2014 ) .
Followed
by Dr. Arifin , so initially the TB germs lodged into the lungs and
then they can spread through the blood vessels into body parts . In addition through the blood vessels , the TB germs can also spread
to the lymph nodes through , which is referred to as TB gland .
According
to Dr. Arifin , but to attack and be pulmonary TB , TB bacteria can
also invade other organs such as the heart , kidneys , and liver . Among the several parts of the body , only two are ' safe ' from the germ attacks , the teeth and hair .
Can not be predicted with certainty what makes the germs spread to certain parts of the body . Only Dr. Arifin said that the defense of a strong immune system is key to preventing TB germ -free ' walk around ' and attack .
"
TB germs are unique , once entered into the body then he will not come
out . He also is a multisystem , so can invade other organs . All
depends endurance. If good , so it does not hurt , " said Dr. Arifin to
detikHealth .
Jakarta , Getting a good night's sleep is essential for health , but not many people realize it . One thing to note is the position of the body during sleep . Instead of fresh and powerful , your body may be painful when any sleeping position .
Was supposed to be a time to break that makes the body become more fresh and relaxed . Instead of making the body feel more preferably , one position during
sleep can actually cause the body to become stiff , pain in the back or
waist .
Back pain that occurs during waking may occur due to misalignment of the spine . Most people do not have perfect posture . Plus activities throughout the day that tightens muscles of the back , resulting in pain during sleep .
For example , sitting all day can result in hip muscles tighten , causing curvature of the spine around the lower back . Bending can cause the muscles in the shoulder tightened , resulting in pain in the upper back .
Here are a couple of sleeping position back support and can fix back
problems , as quoted from Onlymyhealth , Thursday ( 03/20/2014 ) :
1 . tilted position
This is the best position for people who suffer from back pain . Lie sideways , with legs bent . Place one or two pillows between your knees , and arms relaxed in front . This position keeping the spine in a natural curved position .
2 . sleep on their backs
When experiencing back pain , you should try to sleep with your back
in a neutral position or not much curved , but not too flat , as it will
put pressure on the spine .
When sleeping on your back , use a thin pillow , or even a folded towel , not a pile of pillows that are looked up . This is to reduce the strain on the neck . Then , place another pillow under the knee , to ease some of the strain on the lower back . Put a pillow under your knees to maintain the normal curve of lower back .
3 . sleeping face down
When experiencing back pain , it will be difficult to sleep facedown . But try this position when you feel uncomfortable in any other way . If you prefer to sleep on your stomach , place a thin pillow under the hips to reduce pressure on the spine .
Jakarta , a heart attack can also occur in women . Unfortunately , treatment in women with heart attacks often too late to cause maximal treatment . Why ?
According to a study conducted by researchers at McGill University in
Montreal , heart attacks are often misdiagnosed with anxiety disorders
are often experienced by women , as quoted by Medindia on Wednesday (
03/19/2014 ) .
For
this study , researchers examined gender -related differences in
mortality in women and men as a result of acute coronary heart attacks .
They asked 1,123 patients aged 18-55 to fill out the survey after
being treated at 24 hospitals in Canada , one hospital in the U.S. , and
one hospital in Switzerland .
Female
respondents in this study are generally lower income and more likely to
develop diabetes , hypertension , and family history of heart disease .
They also have high levels of anxiety and depression were higher than men .
Researchers
noted the average patient gets instant access electrocardiograms ( ECG )
to check heart rhythm and fibrinolysis to prevent blood clots in women .
For female patients on average it took 15 minutes and 28 minutes .
Whereas in men it takes 21 minutes and 36 minutes . The researchers assume the high anxiety in women is a major cause of the difference was . He also said that , early treatment for heart attack is also given to prevent damage to the heart muscle .
" Patients with anxiety that come to the ER with chest pain is not a
sign of heart disease are women and the prevalence of acute coronary
syndrome is lower among young women than young men , " said study leader
, Louise Pilote .
He
added that these findings may support the existence of early detection
for heart disease if there are women who often feel anxious and pain in
the chest . This research has been published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal .
Jakarta - Chronic kidney disease ( CKD ) occurs when kidney function decline that occurred more than three months . As the name implies , the disease occurs chronic meaning slowly and may not return to normal . CKD is common for elderly people because the older a person , the more his kidney function decline .
Nevertheless,
according to the consulting physician Parlindungan Siregar renal
hypertension , kidney disease can also occur in children . However , the cause of chronic decline in renal function in children is not the same as in adults .
If the adults are affected by the decline in renal function physiology . While in children , the anatomy or structure of organs that influence was . Anatomical abnormalities in children as a function of the valve does not normally lead to damage to the kidneys ureters .
" Ureteral valve function is to prevent reflux of urine or behind it
issued to the kidneys . Nah , if it is not functioning properly , then
most of the urine will return to the kidney , " said Parlindungan in a
healthcare discussion in Jakarta some time ago .
He
explained that the kidneys normally play a role in filtering out toxins
and residual substances in the blood , and remove it in the form of
urine . Urine is excreted through the ureters and to prevent urine back into
the kidneys reverse direction , there is a valve in the ureters which
will close the channel towards the kidneys .
Unfortunately
, because of anatomical abnormalities , valve function , there is no
good , then the urine tends to return the kidney . The organ had to work extra toxins and substances in the urine that should have been excluded . If this process occurs many times in a long time , then renal child will experience a decline in function .
In
addition, said Parlindungan , decreased kidney function can also be due
to inflammation of the child or also known as nephritis . Nephritis in children is generally triggered by a strong hereditary factors .
Mumbai , India , Incubator used to maintain while monitoring the health condition of infants born prematurely . But couples in India using ice boxes because could not afford an expensive incubator facility at the hospital .
Ramesh ( 35 ) and Aruna Chaunan ( 34 ) is the couple . Due to the poor state of the economy , they could no longer afford the
cost of care in the Intensive Care Unit ( ICU ) so that their babies
are born prematurely maintained their health .
Babies who they named Mithilesh was born in October 2013 and , with a weight of only 1.5 kg . Mithilesh born two months earlier than the supposed pregnancy and indicated abnormalities in the thyroid . For that , they must pay a fee of Rp 1.5 million each day .
"
We 've sold all the items in our home . We even had to borrow from
relatives and friends who we know . But the result was just enough for
20 days of treatment course , " Aruna said as quoted from NyDailyNews ,
Tuesday ( 18/3 / 2014 ) .
After 20 days , they were forced to take back his son to take home to home . Ramesh
effort to sign up to the government hospital was dashed after the
hospital refused on the grounds there was no longer a place to Mithilesh
. However, after discussions with several doctors acquaintance , Ramesh also tried the suggestion to use an ice box .
" The doctor told me that if we are not able to hire an incubator at
the hospital , better make it your own with ice box and a 60 watt bulb ,
" said Ramesh .
After weighing , couples Nalla Sopara origin , Mumbai was finally decided to follow the doctor's advice . Ramesh also buy an ice box from a nearby fish market , cutting and
giving vent , and connect the cable to be lit bulb in the box .
Once the box is complete , they installed an alarm every two hours to put out Mithilesh measure the temperature of the box . This process takes place every day for five months . Aruna admitted that he was feeling confused , anxious and fearful .
"I do not know whether I'm doing this right , if my baby is healthy .
However this is better than doing nothing and letting my baby die , "
said Aruna .
But baby Mithilesh now been freed from the ice box . After
seeing the news about the plight of the couples and their babies ,
Wadia Hospital for Children in Mumbai offering assistance to care for
their baby at no cost . Dr. Minnie Bhodanwal , Director of Wadia Hospital for Children expressed even sad .
" It is sad that in this modern age there is still sad events as
experienced father and mother Aruna Ramesh , " said Dr. Minnie .
Although
the use of an ice box to warm premature babies including a practical
way , but Dr. Minnie said that the absence of monitors and other medical
equipment can cause the baby's body temperature should be kept out of
control . Dr. Minnie said that he and his staff will continue to monitor the
development of the baby's condition Mithilesh although these couples do
not have to pay anything .
"
Premature babies require care and monitoring 24 hours a day . We will
evaluate their health condition in total and if the process goes well ,
within 3 weeks of the baby has been able to take home , " said Dr.
Minnie .
