A Deadly Disorder? Stevens-Johnson Syndrome<\/a><\/h3>
A hot topic of conversation is currently sweeping the Indonesian entertainment scene, following the news that a well-known artist in Indonesia has Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS). But what exactly is this syndrome? \n\n \n\n Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a skin disease caused by infection or allergy and can also be triggered by a drug reaction. Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a serious, life-threatening skin condition in which the death of skin cells causes the epidermis to slough off and separate from the dermis. Stevens-Johnson syndrome can affect the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes and can progress to a more severe form of toxic epidermal necrosis (TEN). \n\n \n\n SJS is a medical emergency that requires hospitalization. Treatment focuses on stopping the cause, treating the wound, managing the pain, and trying to minimize the chance of complications as the healing process progresses. \n\n \n\n Causes of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome \n\n About 80% of all cases of SJS and Ten are caused by toxic reactions to drugs, where the body recognizes certain drugs as foreign and causes an immune system response that causes damage to the mucous membranes and skin. The main drugs that cause SJS are antibiotics, antidepressants, and painkillers, including over-the-counter drugs. This reaction will be experienced immediately after starting the drug, within 2–3 weeks. \n\n \n\n Symptoms of Stevens-Johnson syndrome \n\n Stevens-Johnson syndrome is nonspecific and includes symptoms such as fever, headache, and discomfort after swallowing. This may last from 1 to 14 days. Patients will develop a flat, red rash on the face and body, but often the rash extends all over the body in an uneven pattern with a blister in the center that falls off easily when rubbed. \n\n \n\n Other symptoms of SJS are: \n\n \n Blisters in the mouth, ears, eyes, or genitals \n Swelling of the eyelids \n Inflammation of the membranes lining the inner surface of the eyelids and eyeballs \n Persistent fever (like the flu) \n \n\n \n\n Diagnosis and Treatment of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome \n\n Based on symptoms, physical examination, and history of previous drug use or infection, Early detection and discontinuation of medications are key to managing SJS. Patients often require hospitalization and treatments such as nutrition and skin care. Also, corticosteroid therapy may also be prescribed by the doctor. \n\n \n\n Therefore, Stevens-Johnson syndrome requires immediate medical attention, as early detection and proper management can improve the prognosis. If you experience any of the symptoms, please consult the nearest hospital or health facility. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Did you know that pain can be assessed?<\/a><\/h3>
Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with tissue damage or impending tissue damage. Clinical manifestations of pain often arise in pathological processes, affecting pain sensory nerves and producing uncomfortable reactions. \n\n \n\n One form of persistent pain is chronic pain, where pain signals are continuously sent to the nerves over a prolonged period of time. Normal sensations that persist for more than a few months can be categorized as chronic pain. It is important to recognize that chronic pain not only has a serious impact on the patient's physical condition but also has an impact on the patient's mental state. Therefore, proper management of pain is crucial to maintaining the patient's health. \n\n \n\n How can pain be assessed? \n\n Pain assessment is important to determine the intensity and determine effective therapy. Pain should be assessed as early as possible. Assessment of pain intensity can be measured using various methods, one of which is the VAS (Visual Analogue Scale). This VAS scale is easy to use for anyone and is more efficient and easy for patients to understand. The visual analog scale (VAS) is the most widely used measurement method for assessing pain. This scale visually describes the gradation of pain values experienced by a patient. The pain range is represented by a 10-cm line, with a mark at each centimeter. The left end represents no pain, while the mark on the right represents the worst pain (unbearable pain). \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n Point 0 is no pain. \n 1 to 2 is pain that does not interfere with activity (mild pain). \n 3 to 4 is pain that somewhat interferes with activity (moderate pain). \n 5 to 6 is pain that has interfered with activity (severe pain). \n 7 to 8 is pain that greatly interferes with activity (very severe pain). \n 9 to 10 is pain that is unbearable so that you cannot do activities (unbearable pain). \n \n\n \n\n However, if the pain experienced has started to interfere with your activities, immediately consult Hermina Hospital Bogor to get pain treatment. The pain clinic of RS Hermina Bogor serves pain cases such as: \n\n \n Neck and head pain \n Back pain or low back pain \n Shoulder, elbow, and hand pain \n Knee pain or knee osteoarthritis \n and other cases of pain. \n \n\n \n\n Therefore, pain is not just an unpleasant experience but can be measured for effective treatment. Knowing how to measure the level of pain can help us know when is the right time to consult immediately in order to get the right treatment to overcome the pain we suffer. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Is Gastric Rinse Safe for Health?<\/a><\/h3>
Gastric lavage is the procedure of emptying the stomach to remove toxic substances from the digestive system, gastric lavage is performed quickly and in an emergency. Gastric lavage is a common way to treat poisoning or drug overdose in areas with limited healthcare facilities. \n\n \n\n The gastric lavage procedure may help remove toxins along with the stomach contents in the patient. However, how much of the toxins are removed from the patient's body cannot be determined. Gastric lavage also carries a risk of complications for patients who have airway problems in particular. This is because gastric lavage uses a gastric tube that is inserted through the nose into the stomach organ. \n\n \n\n What conditions require gastric lavage \n\n Gastric lavage is performed if the patient has ingested a large amount of poison or as a first aid measure for life-threatening poisoning cases. However, gastric lavage is rarely used in medicine nowadays. \n\n \n\n Gastric lavage is usually done when poisoning occurs in less than 60 minutes. This is the average time it takes for the body to empty the stomach. If it is more than 60 minutes, it is likely that the poison has been absorbed and entered the body. \n\n \n\n However, gastric lavage is not recommended for poisoning situations with corrosive substances or hydrocarbons. Corrosive substances are commonly found in various types of cleaning solutions, batteries, furniture cleaners, and other products. On the other hand, hydrocarbons are often found in gasoline, oil lamps, kerosene, and paint thinner. \n\n \n\n In addition to poisoning with toxic substances, gastric lavage may also be performed if the patient has the following conditions: \n\n \n Fatal poisoning that causes unconsciousness. \n Overdose of anticholinergic drugs within 4 hours. \n Iron or lithium mineral poisoning. \n Reducing pressure in the gastrointestinal tract. \n Reduces pressure on the stomach when a ventilator or breathing apparatus is installed. \n \n\n \n\n In addition, gastric lavage may be performed in patients with cases of gastrointestinal bleeding. \n\n \n\n Gastric lavage procedure \n\n Before the procedure begins, the doctor will give an anesthetic to numb the patient's throat. This aims to reduce the risk of choking and reduce the possibility of throat irritation during the procedure. After that, the doctor will insert a tube through the mouth or nose through the esophagus until it reaches the stomach. \n\n \n\n This step is carried out until the rinse liquid that comes out looks clear. The medical team will then proceed to insert activated charcoal into the patient's stomach. Activated charcoal will absorb the remaining toxins into the stomach. \n\n \n\n Therefore, if hermina friends or people around experience poisoning, immediately call the emergency number or visit the nearest hospital to get the right treatment and provide the right help according to your condition. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Seeing the World by Touch: An Exploration of the Magic of Braille in Opening Doors of Opportunity for the Visually Impaired.<\/a><\/h3>
Every January 4, 2024, the international world celebrates World Braille Day. The day is held to commemorate the importance of braille as a means of communication for the blind. Braille itself is a media reminder of the importance of accessibility and independence for those supporting disabilities with braille. \n\n \n\n Braille itself is a tactile representation of numeric and alphabetic symbols that uses six dots to represent each letter and number, as well as scientific and mathematical symbols. The name braille itself is named after its inventor, Louis Brialle, whose birthday is used as the world braille date. \n\n \n\n Initially, Captain Charles Barbier, a former Napoleonic officer in the heavy armaments division, was inspired to create letters aimed at the blind. Captain Barbier created a cipher in the form of a number of dots and lines. This concept was used in the message written in braille letters so that it could be read by feeling the series of lines and dots arranged. \n\n \n\n Louis Braille saw that these lines and dots could also be useful for the blind, which was then tested on the blind with the embossed lines and dots that Barbier initiated. It turns out that blind people are more sensitive when using their fingers to trace dots than lines. That's why Braille letters now only use a combination of dots and empty space. \n\n \n\n Braille itself has developed into three types of letters. \n\n \n\n \n Japanese Braille \n \n\n \n\n Japanese braille letters are known as tenji, which means dot characters. Japanese braille is an abiguda-based vowel where each symbol represents a specific consonant and vowel. In writing, vowels are written in the upper right corner, while consonants are written in the lower right corner. In addition, there are four dots for markers. \n\n \n\n \n Korean braille letters \n \n\n \n\n Korean braille letters are unique because of the graphic system and reflect the pattern of hangeul letters. This causes initial consonants, vowels and final consonants to combine. But for numeric characters and punctuation marks, the braille still has the same system as the original braille. \n\n \n\n \n ASCII Braille Letters \n \n\n \n\n These letters were originally used in North America. Braille ASC II has 64 characters to represent all possible dot combinations of six dot-braille. These braille letters are designed to be a means of storing and sending data digitally. \n\n \n\n In 2023 yesterday a team from Indonesia from Binus International Students created a braile reading device and successfully became one of the winners in the google solution challlenge 2023 program which is incorporated in the Wonder Reader group. \n\n \n\n Their work will facilitate teaching and learning activities for blind and deaf people in various regions in Indonesia. The technology developed is also supported by the Android operating system because it is considered easier and widely owned by people in the regions. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Bloody Urine?—Hematuria<\/a><\/h3>
Hermina friends, have you ever heard of someone or experienced urine containing an unusual color or bloody urine? This condition is characterized by a change in the color of the urine to brownish or reddish due to the presence of blood mixed in the urine. \n\n \n\n Bloody urine, also known as hematuria, is made up of blood cells or blood present in the urine. The discovery of blood in the urine is an abnormal condition, either macroscopically or microscopically. Microscopically marked by the color of urine, it looks clear, but there are blood cells found in urine examination through a microscope. Macroscopic is clearly visible to the eye because there is a change in the color of urine to reddish, brownish, or bright red. This case is more common because patients can recognize it immediately. \n\n \n\n Causes of Hematuria \n\n Hematuria can be caused by various factors but is generally caused by diseases related to the urinary tract or kidneys, among others: \n\n \n Urinary tract infection. Infection occurs when bacteria enter through the urethra and multiply in the bladder. This condition, in addition to causing hematuria, will also cause sufferers to have a continuous urge to urinate, pain when urinating, and smelly urine. \n Kidney infection. It occurs when bacteria enter the kidneys through the bloodstream in the kidneys, causing an infection. \n Cancers such as kidney cancer, bladder cancer, and prostate cancer are at risk of triggering hematuria in sufferers. \n Side effects of medications. Taking drugs such as Cytoxan or penicillin for a long time can increase the risk of hematuria, or red blood cells in the urine. \n And kidney injury is also one of the appearances of red blood cells in the urine. Because it usually occurs after trauma or invasive actions in the kidney area. \n \n\n \n\n Risk Factors for Hematuria \n\n There are several factors that can increase the likelihood of a person experiencing hematuria, including, as follows: \n\n \n age over 50 years. \n having a family history of hematuria. \n the effect of taking drugs, such as anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics, in the long term. \n doing strenuous activities. \n exposure to radiation or certain chemicals. \n and have a smoking habit. \n \n\n \n\n Symptoms of Hematuria \n\n Hematuria has symptoms such as bright red, brownish, and reddish urine. But sometimes, the sufferer cannot see blood in the urine. Only laboratory tests can find red blood cells in the urine. In addition, the patient may not have any other symptoms. \n\n Hematuria with symptoms will lead to several conditions, such as: \n\n \n Pain during urination \n Pain in the waist and abdomen \n increased frequency of urination \n fever, nausea, and vomiting \n \n\n \n\n Diagnosis of Hematuria \n\n If you experience signs of hematuria symptoms, do not hesitate to visit the nearest hospital so that the symptoms experienced can be immediately identified. For diagnosis, the doctor will first ascertain the medical history. \n\n Furthermore, a physical examination will be carried out to determine the cause of the symptoms, and the doctor will carry out various other examinations, such as: \n\n \n Urine Test \n CT-Scan \n ULTRASOUND \n Cystoscopy \n Kidney Biopsy \n \n\n \n\n Therefore, it is necessary to be aware that the presence of red blood cells in the urine can be one of the signs of a serious illness. If you experience symptoms that resemble hematuria, do not hesitate to consult a doctor. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Treatment of Burns Caused by Fireworks in New Year Celebrations<\/a><\/h3>
Celebrating the New Year is incomplete if you don't light firecrackers or fireworks. Towards the evening until the peak of New Year's Eve, the sound of fireworks will be heard muttering to each other. Not only adults, but small children also enjoy playing with fireworks, even though it is dangerous. One of the dangers is burns caused by fireworks. \n\n \n\n Why are fireworks dangerous? \n\n Because fireworks contain flammable materials, such as powder residue, that can cause explosions or sparks, Fireworks themselves have many chemicals in them, which, when burned, cause a rapid chemical reaction that produces hot gases and explosions. \n\n Burns, or Combustio, are not only caused by fireworks; they can also be caused by electric current, chemicals, and lightning hitting the skin, deeper tissues, and mucosa. Burns can affect cell function and metabolism. \n\n \n\n Fireworks Burn First Aid \n\n It is important to know the main steps for treating burns caused by fireworks, including the following: \n\n \n Cool the Burn Using Flowing Water \n \n\n Using running water on the burn for about 10–15 minutes can reduce the skin temperature and stop the burning process that continues to occur on the skin. Avoid using ice water or ice cubes directly on the wound, as this can cause further damage. \n\n \n\n \n Do Not Apply Toothpaste or Odol \n \n\n Applying toothpaste to burns is not recommended, as toothpaste is not an ingredient for treating burns. Applying toothpaste to burns can increase the risk of infection. \n\n \n\n \n Remove any clothing or jewelry attached to the body. \n \n\n Immediately remove jewelry or clothing so as not to stick to the burn and cause obstruction of first aid. \n\n \n\n \n Take to the hospital immediately. \n \n\n Someone who has suffered a severe burn should be taken to the hospital for medical treatment to assess the severity, prevent infection of the wound, get painkillers, and monitor the progress of their condition. \n\n \n\n These are the first aid tips for burns caused by fireworks that can be given by Sahabat Hermina. Prioritizing safety and taking preventive measures is a necessity. By understanding the dangers of fireworks and knowing how to handle them properly, you can avoid the risk of burns. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Recent Surgical Innovation - Laparoscopic Appendicectomy<\/a><\/h3>
The appendix, also known as the appendix, is a small organ located at the right end below the large intestine. The appendix is shaped like a radius with a length of 5 to 10 cm and a sac-like shape attached to the large intestine. It is still not fully understood what its exact function is; in some cases, people can live without an appendix without significant impact on health. \n\n An inflamed appendix is called appendicitis. Appendicitis is a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention or treatment. If the appendix becomes inflamed, it can cause a blockage, which results in swelling and can be fatal if left untreated. \n\n To treat appendicitis, surgery can be performed using open surgery or laparoscopic techniques. Laparoscopy itself is a tool in the form of a long tube equipped with a small camera and a light at the end. \n\n \n\n How is laparoscopic appendicectomy performed? \n\n The surgeon will make an incision near the belly button and insert a small device called a port. The port creates an opening that the surgeon can use to fill the stomach with gas, thus creating space to perform the surgery. Next, a small camera is inserted through the port. The camera shows the operation on a screen in the operating room. The doctor can then clearly see the organs in the abdomen and make it easier to remove the appendix. \n\n \n\n Advantages of Laparoscopic Appendicectomy \n\n The advantages of laparoscopic appendicectomy are: \n\n \n A small incision is minimally invasive, causes less pain, and requires a quick recovery time, whereas an open appendicectomy requires a large incision and a long recovery time. \n \n\n \n\n \n Laparoscopic surgery involves the use of small instruments and cameras inserted through a small incision, while open appendicectomy involves a larger incision in the appendix area. \n \n\n \n\n RS Hermina Bogor has doctors who are competent and qualified to perform this laparoscopic surgery. If you want to have a consultation or surgery with minimal wounds and get back to your activities quickly, Immediately consult with our surgeons at RS Hermina Bogor. \n\n For registration, please visit: \n\n \n www.herminahospitals.com \n "Halo Hermina" Application \n Call the center at 1500-488 \n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Do This For Closing the Year so You Don't Get Sick Easily<\/a><\/h3>
The busyness towards the end of the year can drain the mind, mentality, and energy, which in turn affects endurance and other health. Before the bad impact happens, Sahabat Hermina, immediately apply a healthy lifestyle so you don't get sick easily. \n\n \n\n A healthy lifestyle can help maintain and improve the quality of the body's power. Here are some ways that can be done to maintain the quality of our health, including avoiding eating fried foods, chips, sweet pastries, and drinks that contain high sugar levels. Because if consumed excessively, it can cause chronic diseases in the future. Here are other ways that can be done: \n\n \n\n \n Organize a healthy diet. \n \n\n Maintaining a healthy diet is the key to maintaining a healthy body so as not to get sick easily. Choose foods such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and protein for your daily intake. Make sure your intake includes sources of nutrients such as: \n\n \n vitamin C, which is found in fruits. \n Vitamin B6, which is found in chicken meat and fruit,. \n Vitamin E, which is found in almonds and spinach. \n Magnesium and zinc. \n \n\n \n\n \n Adequate Fluid Intake \n \n\n Drinking 8–10 glasses of water every day can help fulfill fluid intake in the body. Apart from water, fruits that are high in water content, soupy foods, and the like can also be sources of fluids. Because fulfilling body fluids helps smooth blood and lymph circulation so that they become part of the body's immune system,. \n\n \n\n \n Physical Activity Routine \n \n\n Take time to exercise to keep your body fit and healthy. Doing physical activity not only burns calories but also helps reduce stress and refresh the mind. If you don't have much time, you can take advantage of the time in the office by actively moving. Such as walking during lunch hours, choosing to take the stairs instead of the elevator, and so on. \n\n \n\n \n Get Enough and Maintain Quality Sleep \n \n\n Getting enough rest is part of maintaining good health. Research shows that those who sleep less than 6 hours each night are more likely to catch a cold than those who sleep 6 hours or more. \n\n \n\n If you sleep less than the ideal amount of time, it can decrease your immune system. If this happens frequently, it can increase risks such as hypertension, stress, or depression. \n\n \n\n \n Avoid contact with people who are sick. \n \n\n Friends of Hermina can stay away from or avoid direct contact with people who are sick to avoid disease transmission. If you yourself are experiencing illness, it is very important to reduce and avoid contact with others to prevent transmission. \n\n \n\n Therefore, for hermina friends, maintaining health is a top priority. By implementing a healthy lifestyle, such as adjusting your diet, getting enough fluids, doing regular physical activity, paying attention to sleep quality, and avoiding contact with people who are sick, you can minimize the risk of getting sick. Friends of Hermina, keep in mind that investing in health is a long-term investment that provides invaluable benefits. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Placenta Previa Pregnancy Complications - Causes, and Symptoms<\/a><\/h3>
Placenta previa occurs when the placenta covers part or all of the opening of the cervix during pregnancy. The placenta acts as a provider of nutrients and oxygen for the fetus and produces pregnancy hormones. In addition, the placenta also functions to carry substances that are not needed by the fetus out of the body through the mother's urine and feces, and acts as a protector against collisions. and diseases that can threaten the fetus. \n\n Placenta previa is a potentially severe pregnancy complication in which the placenta is located below the uterus, causing severe painless vaginal bleeding, and the bleeding may be life-threatening to the mother, either before or during labor. Placenta previa is common in pregnancies with high parity and over 30 years of age. \n\n \n\n Causes of Placenta Previa \n\n Until now, it is still not known exactly what causes placenta previa, but there are several factors that can affect the risk of pregnant women experiencing this condition, namely: \n\n \n Abnormal fetal position, such as latitude or breech \n Has a history of miscarriage \n Abnormally shaped uterus \n History of uterine surgery, such as cesarean section removal and curettage. \n Age 35 years or older \n Smoking or using drugs while pregnant \n \n\n \n\n Symptoms of Placenta Previa \n\n A sign of placenta previa is painless vaginal bleeding after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Sometimes, spotting may appear before more serious bleeding. \n\n Bleeding may occur simultaneously with uterine contractions before labor, which may be accompanied by pain. Activities such as medical examinations or sexual intercourse may also trigger bleeding. For For some women, bleeding may not occur until the time of delivery. Often, there is no obvious event that caused the bleeding. \n\n \n\n Diagnosis of Placenta Previa \n\n Medical examinations and diagnostic tests need to be done to determine whether or not a pregnant A woman has placenta previa if there is bleeding in the 2nd or 3rd trimester of pregnancy. To make sure There are several ways of examination that will be carried out by the doctor, namely: \n\n \n Transvaginal ultrasound examination \n Transabdominal ultrasound examination \n MRI examination \n \n\n If a pregnant woman has placenta previa, the doctor will not perform a routine transvaginal ultrasound. examination procedure, to reduce the risk of heavy bleeding. Instead, the doctor will replace the examination with a transabdominal ultrasound to monitor the position of the placenta periodically until delivery. \n\n \n\n Prevention \n\n Placenta previa cannot be prevented by either surgical or medical procedures that can correct it. There There are certain risk factors that can control or avoid the occurrence of placenta previa, such as avoiding smoking or drug use, reducing strenuous physical activity, and avoiding long-distance travel at 28 weeks gestation, and resting immediately when spots appear. \n\n Therefore, placenta previa occurs when the placenta covers part or all of the neck of the uterus during During pregnancy, placenta previa can cause several symptoms in the form of vaginal bleeding.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease that is difficult to differentiate - Chorn's Disease VS Ulcerative Colitis<\/a><\/h3>
Do you often experience weeks-long pain? Do you frequently feel easily fatigued, with weight loss, and often experience diarrhea? It could be a chronic inflammatory bowel disease. \n\n \n\n There are two types of inflammatory bowel diseases: Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Both share many symptoms, including prolonged inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. However, there are some key differences between these two diseases. \n\n \n\n Symptoms that may appear in both diseases include: \n\n \n\n \n Abdominal pain and cramps \n Watery stools/diarrhea \n Constipation \n Rectal bleeding \n Fever \n Weight loss \n Fatigue \n Women may experience menstrual problems. \n \n\n \n\n You don't have to experience all these symptoms. They can come and go, alternating between flares (when symptoms worsen) and remission (when symptoms subside or stop altogether). \n\n \n\n Both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are often diagnosed in young and productive individuals, though they can occur at any age and are often linked to genetic issues. \n\n \n\n Distinguishing Symptoms: \n\n \n\n There are three key differences between these cases: \n\n \n\n \n Inflammation location: \n \n\n \n\n Ulcerative colitis usually affects only the large intestine, while Crohn's disease can cause inflammation anywhere in the digestive tract, from the mouth to the anus. \n\n \n\n \n Intestinal examinations: \n \n\n \n\n The colonoscopy is the examination used to differentiate these cases. In Crohn's disease, there are usually healthy areas between the inflamed sections, whereas in ulcerative colitis, no healthy areas are found within the inflamed parts. \n\n \n\n \n Affected layers of the intestine: \n \n\n \n\n Crohn's disease typically impacts the entire digestive tract, with symptoms such as mouth sores between the gums and lower lip, or along the side or underside of the tongue. It can also cause anal fissures, abscesses, infections, or narrowing. \n\n \n\n Diagnosis Determination: \n\n \n\n Because the main difference between these conditions revolves around the location of inflammation in the digestive system, the best way for a doctor to make an accurate diagnosis is through supportive examinations, including: \n\n \n\n \n Endoscopy: a small camera inserted into the digestive tract to view inflamed areas. \n Contrast abdominal X-rays \n CT scans and MRE \n Stool and blood tests \n \n\n \n\n Preventing Inflammation: \n\n \n\n There's no foolproof way to prevent inflammatory bowel disease, but some lifestyle changes toward a healthier direction can help reduce the risk and alleviate symptoms: \n\n \n\n \n Quit smoking. \n Adopt a healthy diet, maintaining stomach health with high-fiber foods. \n Exercise regularly. \n Manage stress properly. \n \n\n \n\n If you experience the above symptoms, don't hesitate to get yourself checked at Hermina Bogor Hospital. We offer specialized services from internal medicine specialists to digestive disease doctors. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Avoid Pain with Resistance Training!<\/a><\/h3>
Do you often feel pain in your legs from standing for a long time, discomfort due to waist and back pain, and fatigue easily? We can train it so that it doesn't get tired easily or get injured in that area with resistance training. \n\n \n\n Resistance training is a form of exercise that uses pulling or weight from other objects to stimulate muscle growth and endurance. This type of exercise can be done with weights, resistance bands, etc. \n\n \n\n The resistance carried out during exercise can cause tension in the muscles, which stimulates the body to adapt by increasing the resistance of the muscles being trained. This exercise can also improve overall fitness and muscle tone and help prevent injury. \n\n It is important to maintain form and technique during this exercise to avoid injury. In this exercise, it is recommended to start with a light load and increase gradually as the strength and endurance of the muscles increase. \n\n \n\n Resistance training also has many health benefits beyond just physical strength and muscle growth. Research has shown that resistance training can increase bone density, reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease, and even improve cognitive function. Additionally, incorporating resistance training into your exercise routine can help with weight management by increasing metabolism and promoting fat loss. It is important to consult a healthcare professional before starting a new exercise program, especially if you have any medical conditions or injuries. With the right guidance and consistency, resistance training can be a valuable addition to any fitness program. \n\n \n\n Some things you need to pay attention to when doing resistance training include: \n\n \n\n \n Vary your routine: To continue seeing progress and avoid plateauing, it's important to change up your resistance training routine every few weeks. This can be done by changing the exercises you do, the number of sets and repetitions, or the amount of weight you use. \n \n\n \n\n \n Allow time for rest and recovery: resistance training creates small tears in the muscles, which then repair and grow stronger during the rest period. It's important to give your muscles time to recover between workouts and prioritize getting enough sleep and proper nutrition. \n \n\n \n\n \n Incorporate functional movements: While exercises that focus on one part of the muscle (such as bicep curls) have a place in resistance training programs, it is also important to incorporate functional movements that mimic everyday activities. This can help improve overall strength and prevent injuries in everyday life. \n \n\n \n\n \n Focus on the mind-muscle connection: proper form is very important with this exercise, but it is also important to focus on the mind-muscle connection, that is, actively involving the muscles being trained rather than just doing the movement. This can help maximize results and prevent injuries. \n \n\n \n\n \n Understand your own body: as with any form of exercise, it is also important to listen to your body and not force yourself. If something in your body feels uncomfortable and causes pain, stop immediately and consult an expert, either an orthopedic doctor or a sports consultant medical rehabilitation doctor. \n \n\n \n\n Therefore, by keeping these points in mind and incorporating resistance training into your fitness routine safely and consistently, you can reap many physical and mental health benefits. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>"); $('#div_next_link').html(" <\/a><\/span>");
