Cancers the deadly disease was decreased

a total of more than 5,600 child survivors of the deadly disease since the 1970s have decreased WITH advances in treatment techniques for cancer. the Results were obtained after researchers compared the average rate of survival of children with cancer since 1971 until 2005.

In the early 1970s, only about a third of children with leukemia who survive only about five years. Currently, their survival rate more than 80 percent. Similarly, the survival rate for neuroblastoma, a cancer affecting the nervous tissue, has increased from just 17 percent to 64 percent

The increase was largely due to the development of combination treatments and new ways to deliver high-dose chemotherapy, experts said as quoted by the Press Association on Monday (14/11). A turning point came when the scientists also found there were several types of leukemia.

Professor Peter Johnson, chief clinician charity Cancer Research UK said, "We fund the trial to offer a new treatment for children with a new, highly aggressive cancer of neuroblastoma."

"Cancer in children is difficult to study especially with the number of children who are relatively few diagnosed each year. But our researchers continue to strive to find ways to diagnose the disease earlier and look for new drugs and to make existing treatments more effective

Heart Failure Attack Your Health

beware of heart failure

DEFINITIONS

    Conggestive heart failure is a term which the heart could not  to pump enough blood to conform the needs of the body circulation for metabolism of body tissues in specific circumstances, which in cardiac the pressure is still high.



CAUSES OF HEART FAILURE

1. Triggers of heart failures catagories as below:

Increased metabolic demands - increasing needs exceed {demand overload}
My_ocardial disfunction {my.ocardial failures}

Curtain of excessife pressures - Loaded systolic

Excessive volume load - loading diastolic (diastolic overload)


2. Impaired-filling



Fuse

Hypertension, infarction, pulmonary-embolism, infections, arhythmia, anemias, pregnancy, febrile, emotional stress,  childbirth, infusion, transfusion.

Pathophysiology

Each obstacle in the flow direction to forward flow in the circulation will cause the dam to the flow in the opposite direction {backward congestion}. Barriers flux {read: forward failure} could caused the failure symptoms  in the backward flow of bloood circulation system. Mechanisms of cardiac compensation in heart failure is the body's attempt to maintain blood circulation to meet tissue metabolic needs. Compensatory mechanisms that occur in heart failure was: dilated ventricle, ventricular hypertrophy, an increase in sympathetic stimulation in the form of tachycardia and peripheral vasikonstriksi, elevation of plasma catecholamine levels, retention of salt and fluid loss and increased eksttraksi oxygen by tissues. When the heart of the right and the left joint-ama in a state of failure due to disruption of blood flow and the presence of dams, it will look for signs and symptoms of heart failure in the systemic circulation and pulmonary circulation. This situation known are called Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). The following scheme explains the occurrence of heart failure, giving rise to clinical manifestations and nursing problems.



EXAMINATION LABORATORY:

There is no specific test that can diagnose heart failure. Laboratory tests are required only to determine the extent of heart failure has disrupted the functions of other organs such as liver, kidney and others.

EXAMINATION OTHER SUPPORT:

A. Radiology:

Arola lung shadows thick and wide, getting to the edge density is reduced

Lung field patches because of pulmonary edema

Pulmonary venous distention

Cardiac enlargement

B. ECG:

Primary cardiac abnormalities can be found (ischemic, ventricular hypertrophy, rhythm disturbances) and signs of acute precipitating factors (myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism)

C. Echocardiography:

For the detection of functional and anatomical disorders that cause heart failure

D. Cardiac Catheterization:

For further handlers.

Diabetes can not be cured but can control and manage

Most cause diabetics in Indonesia is inbalance patern of health life syle. Such as, bad behaviour eat junk food consumtion that are harmful to health. Health research data base in 2007 says there are 12.5 million of Indonesian population have diabetes, that number is expected to soar reaching approximately 21.3 million in 2030.

Diabetes Therapy Ilustration

Acording to Dr. Samuel Oetoro, SpGK, clinical nutrition specialist from Siloam Hospitals Semanggi MRCCC diabetic state is like an iceberg. "If we know the number of diabetics much, then people with pre-diabetes will be more. Unfortunately the data does not exist, "said Samuel in Healthy Friendly.

Samuel continued, the number of people with pre-diabetes is far more than people with diabetes alone. "If the lifestyle is not maintained, any food, lack of exercise, it could be diabetes. That is why later in 2030 people with diabetes is estimated to be more, "he said.

People said to be affected by diabetes when blood sugar levels rise due to disturbances in the body's metabolic system, where the organ pancreas unable to produce insulin the body needs.

Blood sugar of diabetics on average above 200 mg / dl (the condition is not fasting, 2 hours after meals) or above 126 mg / dl in fasting conditions. Whereas for normal, sugar content is 80-140 mg / dl (not fasting) or less than 100 mg / dl during fasting. Whereas if blood sugar has reached 140 mg/dl-199 mg / dl (not fasting) or 100 mg/dl-125 mg / dl (fasting) then it is categorized as pre-diabetes (the threshold between normal and diabetes and potentially become diabetic ).

diabetes can still be controlled and managed, but can not be cured. So, If someone is diagnosed have diabetes, The person can not be cured

"When diabetes is not managed properly, it can cause dangerous complications of various diseases such as heart disease, stroke, blindness or even have to give up limbs for amputees," said Samuel.

How to get prevent and preemtive from diabetes, here are some tips:

Healthy Eating
- Good foods Consumption and balanced nutrition. Avoid foods with high glycemic rate, simple or refined carbohydrates, saturated fat, cholesterol, meat, additives, alcohol and toxins.

Thinking healthy
- Trying to manage stress with positive thinking and increased relaxation.

Healthy Rest
- Bed rest in a day is 6-8 hours (sleep well). Try to sleep early and wake up early.

Healthy activity
- Having sex in a healthy manner. Sports for pre diabetes 4-5 times a week and for people with diabetes at least 6 times a week with a time of 30-60 minutes.

Healthy environment
- Stop smoking, try not too frequently exposed to fumes, if necessary use cover your nose and mouth when riding a motorcycle.
