<p>* When the animal was a pet or an owner, the animal must be captured and handed over to the local Animal Husbandry Department for observation for 14 days. When the negative observations of animal rabies then it should get a rabies vaccination before being turned back to its owner.</p>
<p>* If the biting animal is wild animals (no owner) then the animal was captured alive should be sought and submitted to the local Animal Husbandry Department for observation and after the observation period is completed the animal be destroyed or maintained by a person who is pleased, having first given a rabies vaccination .</p>
<p>* If the animal who bit hard to catch and had to be killed, then the head of these animals must be taken and immediately submitted to the local Animal Husbandry Department for laboratory examination.</p>

<p>At least once a month to do BSE. Notice if there are changes in size, there are bumps, grooves, wrinkles on<br />
changes in the breast or nipple.</p>
<p><strong>• Does a family history affect breast cancer risk?</strong></p>
<p>If the grandmother, mother, son or sister (a very close family relationships) are affected by breast cancer, mammography did five years before the age they are diagnosed with breast cancer. Or check with your doctor immediately if there are unusual changes.</p>
<p><strong>• Is there a relationship between menstruation with breast cancer?</strong></p>
<p>You are at high risk if your menstrual cycles start early ie before the age of 12 years, no children, first child after age 30, or menopause after age 55.</p>
<p><strong>• How often do we have to do check ups?</strong></p>
<p>Do it every year. But if there are unusual changes in the breast, immediately visit the doctor. Do not delay.</p>
<p><strong>• Is mammography painful?</strong></p>
<p>Mammography is the examination of the breast using X-ray Discomfort arising from the breast is pressed mammograms only for a moment. Better time to do the mammogram is one week after menstruation when it is completed because the breast feels softer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>What causes breast pain and what can you do?<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>Breast pain (mastalgia) is a common thing. Approximately 70% of women will experience it at some point in their lives</strong>. And the pain in the breast is most severe medical problem for doctors and patients.</p>
<p>Begin your search for information from as much about the pain. When you decide to go to a doctor, would be very helpful if you could explain whether this pain keep you experience. Because it is often associated with hormonal changes or liquid storage at the time you&#8217;re menstruating or direct pressure on the nerves of the neck or chest.</p>
<p><strong>Another factor that can cause disease in the breast is the birth control pills,</strong> <strong>hormone replacement therapy, weight gain, and BH is not in accordance with the breast. Women who experience pain in the breast after breastfeeding</strong>, it is advisable to speak to a doctor or consultant.</p>
<p><strong>Some women feel sick because of water retention, and not related to menstrual periods.</strong> This observation led the researchers to find the cause of the environment or nutrition, but have not found clear answers. Maybe someday, we can find women who lack certain vitamins and is associated with diseases of the breast, but until now there is no evidence that there are vitamins that can be overcome. But many also say that their pain reduced by taking Vitamin B6, Vitamin B1, and Vitamin E.</p>
<p>The second hypothesis, called the &#8220;hypothesis methylxanthine&#8221; emphasizes that caffeine, a methylxanthine found in coffee, tea, cocoa, and cola may be associated with water retention, cell proliferation, and ultimately pain in the breast. (Methylxanthine also found in some asthma medications) Although this is a plausible mechanism, trials conducted to some of the women given caffeine or placebo tablets in random order, stating no link between caffeine to feel the pain in the breast.</p>
<p>Some women say that by wearing a good bra, like a sports bra, even at night to help reduce pain. There is also a reduced entry of sodium, reduced eating fatty foods, eat birth control pills, and weight loss.</p>
<p>A clinic in Cardiff, Wales, found that by using evening primrose oil (a natural form of gamolenic acid) can relieve pain around 44-58 percent of women who experience it. Evening primrose oil can be purchased at health food stores, each capsule contains 500mg. It is recommended to drink two times six capsules daily. Take a few moments before the impact of evening primrose oil can be felt, and it is recommended to do a trial period of four months. If after four months of reduced pain, continue the use of one to two months and beyond. This method is not recommended if you&#8217;re in the pregnancy because it can cause miscarriage.</p>
<p>Another option is medication over-the-counter pain. Normally, you are encouraged to talk to your doctor about prescription medications more effective, but also prone to side effects. Two drugs that are often used to cope with pain in the breast is Parlodel (bromocriptine) and Danocrine (danazol).</p>
<p>In a double-blind trial placebo-controlled randomized, Parlodel lowering prolactin levels and certainly effective in reducing pain in the breast that are repetitive. Side effects include dizziness, abdominal pain, headache, fatigue, vomiting, and constipation. You can reduce the likelihood of these side effects ranging from a low dose, then add a dose, and the end use of low doses of the most appropriate for you. Parlodel is not advisable to consume if you&#8217;re using birth control pills.</p>
<p><strong>Treatment to cope with pain by using steroids</strong>, Danocrine, effective in reducing pain in the breast. Very effective at low doses, such as 100mg per day. The side effects are found in most women who consumed high doses (600-800mg/hari) is as increasing breast size, heavier sound, guttural, raspy throat, weight gain, bloating and swelling, sweating, vaginal dryness, burning, itching -itching, bleeding, depression, irritability, and changes in menstrual period. Danazol also can not be consumed if you&#8217;re using birth control pills, are pregnant, or breastfeeding.<br />
Drug tamoxifen, a hormonal treatment for breast cancer, also proved effective in reducing pain in the breast. Dosage is 10mg/hari. Usually provided for experiments during three months, it is recommended to continue the use if the pain is still felt after stop taking taxomifen.<br />
If not found a fundamental cause of pain in the breast, and if there is pain in certain areas of the breast, a local anesthetic injection can be done even with steroids, if necessary.</p>
<p>It is not easy to do <strong>research on pain in the breast</strong>, because the pain often goes away by itself. Many women experience pain very once in his life. Usually lasts for a few months ago reduced and just disappear. Therefore, the doctor will ask how long have you experienced these symptoms and will not prescribe pain medication until you have up to three months or more.</p>
<p><strong>I experience pain, bleeding from the left breast and found a lump under the nipple. Is this a sign my breast cancer?</strong></p>
<p>To stop the bleeding of the nipple is troubling, and this should you check with your doctor. But this is not really an emergency.<br />
Rather than go to a doctor in the disease, you should visit a specialist breast. An expert in dealing with breast disease. Depending on the form of a lump, breast disease specialist can perform ductogram, procedures by which a substance is inserted through the tubes and x-ray done on these vessels. Ductogram allows the surgeon to recognize the part where the issue of blood vessels and to determine whether there are obstructive vessels. (Imagine if a rusty pipe inside and unobstructed. When the rust is off and out of the end of the pipe, the water that comes out looks cloudy). Ductogram should be done in breast imaging centers that have been experienced. In some cases, ductogram may be unnecessary. Especially there jka lumps, bumps and even a covered vessel.</p>
<p>Cessation of bleeding may occur because of intraductal papilloma or tumor vessels within the area where you feel a lump under your nipple. This is usually referred to as spontaneous bloody nipple discharge. Sometimes occurred that resulted in the dismissal of pre-cancerous conditions or ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). But this rarely happens. Only 4% of spontaneous bloody nipple discharge is found associated with breast cancer. However, it is important to check this is to see a doctor.</p>
<p>When you are pregnant, bloody nipple discharge do not need to worry about. Currently many of the growth of cells within the vessels and it is unusual to have bloody discharge. Also to be noted that smoking, hypertension, birth control pills, and tranquilizers can cause bleeding at the nipple because the things that stimulate prolactin, a hormone that affects the period of lactation. So if you smoke, drink a sedative, you must tell your doctor</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Abnormalities in the breast is a nightmare for women. Believing himself to be lost and often affect the relationship with their spouse. <strong>What are breast pathology and how to care for healthy and beautiful breasts?</strong></p>
<p>Breast care was also needed to be healthy and beautiful. Abnormalities in the breast occurs in various forms. Some are caused by congenital factors, or because the abnormality hormone. According to dr. Sonar Soni Panigoro, SpB.K-Onk of Tumor Surgery Clinic Swadana RSCM, Jakarta, in broad outline <strong>disorders in female breast is divided into five groups, namely:</strong></p>
<p><strong>1. Breast Infections</strong></p>
<p>These infections are divided in two, <strong>infection in the breastfeeding and the infection that often occur</strong>. Infection can be caused by germs or viruses from outside the entrance into the body. Usually, breasts will appear swollen and the pain complaints. Breast infections are more common in women who are breastfeeding. The reason is, <strong>breast milk is the most fertile medium for the growth of disease germs.</strong> If there are obstacles in the process of spending the milk, the bacteria become easier to enter.</p>
<p>Women who are breastfeeding often complained of fever. In addition, the breasts will be sore. If the infection is severe, can be popped like pimples. However, it is quite possible infection also experienced women who are not breastfeeding. This is due to the entry of bacteria in the lining of the breast gland.</p>
<p><strong>2. Congenital abnormalities</strong></p>
<p>Human breast really like the animals. Humans have six pairs of breasts. The position will be the forerunner of the base starts breast armpit to the groin. At 10 weeks gestation, this will be lost, except on the left and right chest. In some people, these phases could be hampered. This can cause the breast to grow more than a pair. Therefore, some women have more than a pair of breasts. In fact, this is sometimes equipped with additional breast nipple as well.</p>
<p>Large-extra small breast gland is too varied. More often, the presence of breast glandular lumps on one side of the armpit. But, there is also a breast glands are not formed completely, or the development of both breasts is not normal.</p>
<p>Women with such disorders are usually not comfortable with her body condition. Not rare, inherited disorders is to make a woman lose her self-confidence. Your doctor will take steps aesthetic surgery. According to Sonar, the emergence of additional breast gland is also to be carefully watched. &#8220;You see, breast lumps that grow as these additional possibilities could develop into tumors.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>3. Hormone Status</strong></p>
<p><strong>Hormonal disorders quite often complained by women</strong>. Arising from pain and soreness in the breast. Complaints often occur before the menstrual period or when you arrive. &#8220;The pain varies, there is a common pain, but there&#8217;s also an incredible pain,&#8221; said Sonar.</p>
<p>Prepared the body to produce breast milk in late pregnancy. When menstruation, breast condition is influenced by female hormones. &#8220;This makes the breast feels more solid and firm. Quite often accompanied by the appearance of lumps, other liquid out of both nipples.&#8221; Sonar assuming a hormonal disorder is a reaction to the fair. &#8220;Except when they appear extreme pain, you should immediately visit the doctor.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>4. Neoplasms, Tumors</strong></p>
<p>Tumors were benign and malignant divided. &#8220;During these 30 years, more patients in Indonesia after the doctors came to his having entered the tumor advanced stage,&#8221; said Sonar. That of course resulted in medical treatment given is not maximal.</p>
<p><strong>5. Other disorders</strong></p>
<p>One is the trauma to the breast. &#8220;Trauma can occur because of the concussion in the breast,&#8221; said Sonar.</p>
<p><strong>CHECK ON AGE</strong></p>
<p><strong>Abnormalities in the breast is more prevalent in women over 35 years</strong>. However, it is quite possible abnormalities also appear in women under 35 years old. Therefore, Sonar suggested that a routine inspection. &#8220;For screening for presence of breast tumors,&#8221; he said. In the medical world, there are three steps to detect abnormalities in the breast, ie, BSE (Breast Self-Check), USG (Ultra sonography) and Mammography, which is different at each age level.</p>
<p><strong># Age 20s</strong><br />
BSE can be done by every young woman who has got menstruation and breast glands begin to form. BSE can be done independently at home, can also be a doctor. &#8220;This is because early-stage breast lumps are often not seen and not felt.&#8221; BSE is detected early to know the changes that may occur in the breast.</p>
<p><strong># Age 30s</strong><br />
Women above 30 year fixed advised to check the condition of the breast by BSE. In addition, Sonar suggested that conduct investigation, including ultrasound examination. &#8216;The use of ultrasound may be more extensive, for young women up to advanced in years.</p>
<p><strong># Age 40s</strong><br />
Apart from BSE and checked through ultrasound, women aged 40s should also do X-ray or mammography. &#8216;Mammography is more restricted. This tool can only be used for women aged 40&#8242;s, which has reduced breast firmness, because mammography is used to view the entire structure of the breast. If the breasts are dense, it is more difficult to detect through mammography abnormalities, &#8220;said Sonar.</p>

6. Breast pain is reduced after each menstrual period.</p>
<p>Symptoms can be mild or severe and reaches its peak just before menstruation and disappear immediately after menstruation.</p>
<p><strong>DIAGNOSIS</strong><br />
Diagnosis based on symptoms and physical examination.<br />
On examination of palpable breast masses will be moved, circular shape with a smooth surface.</p>
<p># Checking is usually done; Mammography<br />
# Ultrasound breast.</p>
<p><strong>TREATMENT</strong><br />
If lumps remain, may need to do a biopsy (removal of tissue for examination under a microscope).</p>
<p>To reduce pain, patients should not consume coffee, tea, chocolate and soft drinks. Also can be used pain reliever.<br />
The pain can also be reduced by warm compresses and appropriate use of BH. Sometimes given vitamin E.</p>
<p>To reduce the symptoms can be given birth control pills.<br />
In severe cases sometimes given danazol.</p>
<p>Sometimes the lump should be removed surgically.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Data on the Indonesian Ministry of Health says there are 90-100 cases of cervical cancer per 100,000 population. Each year 200 000 cases of cervical cancer occur in Indonesia.<br />
Unfortunately, public awareness of Indonesia will early detection of cancer is very low. 70 percent of people with this disease came in the condition of severe (stage III or IV). Quite a few types of cervical cancer. But, there are <strong>three types of the most attacking a woman; cancer of the cervix (neck of the uterus), ovarian cancer (ovarian), and endometrial cancer (uterine body).</strong><br />
<strong><br />
1. Cervical Cancer</strong><br />
@ Symptoms<br />
There is excessive whitish, smelly, and did not heal. Not all signs are whitish cancer. Therefore, if the resulting abnormal whiteness should see a doctor, whether it is cancerous or not.<br />
Other symptoms, there is bleeding outside the menstrual cycle. Especially bleeding after intercourse. To make sure they have a doctor, because bleeding can also occur due to disturbance of balance<br />
hormone.<br />
If the cancer has reached stage 3 upwards, then there will be swelling in various body parts, such as the thighs, calves, hands, and so forth. But, if it is still precancerous no symptoms.<br />
@ Early Detection<br />
For women who have had sex, do a Pap&#8217;s smear; taking cervical mucus from the vagina which will be examined pathologist. Pap smears can detect precancerous&#8217;s to cancer treatment is to enable quick and precise. Make checks regularly, once a year.<br />
@ Causes<br />
There are several causes of cervical cancer:<br />
1) Infection by human papilloma virus. The virus is through sexual relations.<br />
2) Second, premature sexual contact (sex berjubungan less than 15 years). This means that women who first had sex when she was under 15 years old, it has a high risk of cervical cancer.<br />
3) Having sex with multiple partners. The more a woman to have sex with several men, he higher the risk of cervical cancer.<br />
4) Smoking. From various studies in developed countries have found smoking in the constituent materials in the epithelial cells of the cervix.<br />
In addition to the above factors, heredity plays a very able to experience this type of cancer or not. If your mother or sister of the mother or father suffered from cervical cancer, then you have two times more risk of suffering the same disease.<br />
Even more sadly, many experienced cervical cancer in women at reproductive age (aged 30-40 years). But this time there was an increase in people in their 20s. One reason can be given is because more and more teenagers their 20s who had had sex.<br />
@ Treatment<br />
The main pass surgery; simple, large, special. Simple operation performed at the level of early-stage, called the konisasi (cutting the uterus like a cone). Because in the early stage (precancerous) from zero up to 1A of cancer was still in the mucous membrane cells. The operation performed when the patient still wants to get pregnant. If you do not want to get pregnant again will be done by simple hysterectomy (uterus removed all). The goal is that no recurrence of cancer.<br />
Radical hysterectomy will be performed if the cancer had stage 1B to 2A/2B. Third of the entire uterus was appointed following the vagina, uterus and hanger will be cut to as close to the wall<br />
pelvis. The ovaries can be removed or not depends on the age of the patient. If still menstruating, the ovaries will be left. If cervical cancer are already in stage 2B to the above, the operation could no longer be done, but with radiation or radiation.<br />
Radiation has complications; ovarian died too exposed to radiation. As a result of hormones also dead. Whereas the hormone needed for sexual desire and menstruation. Osteroporosis and also prevent heart disease. Other complications, in baseball may be exposed to radiation rather than other organs, such as anal and urinary tract. Accidental burns occurred in the rectum and diarrhea or bleeding continues. If this happens, then the rectum or urethra should be removed. In its place will be created a new rectum or urinary tract through the stomach.<br />
In fact, due to the vaginal discharge becomes rigid, so that patients can not have sex. Other operations, although a third of the vagina removed but can still have sex.<br />
Not to mention if it is a tumor resistant to radiation, so that no matter how many radiation, the tumor remains. Though complications of radiation, is not it, very much. That is why radiation is<br />
if no other choice.<br />
Subsequent treatment, chemotherapy; done when surgery and radiation is not possible anymore. For instance, within a year had been irradiated, so that could not have done anymore for fear of radiation<br />
complications occur. Unfortunately, chemotherapy is very expensive.</p>
<p><strong>2. Ovarian cancer</strong><br />
@ Symptoms<br />
Stomach felt begah, bloating, discomfort. But these symptoms are not specific. In fact, most just do not feel any symptoms. Later symptoms bloating stomach, felt a lump, pelvic pain, impaired CHAPTER / BAK due emphasis on the digestive tract and urinary tract.<br />
Even further on the circumstances which may result in accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity to flow into the chest cavity, which looks very bulging belly. Sometimes accompanied by shortness of breath. If it were so, it is usually too late to handle.<br />
@ Early Detection<br />
Detection delays often occur due to difficult to detect at an early stage. Because the location of the ovary are in the pelvic cavity, so not visible from the outside.<br />
Cancer is usually discovered through inspection. If the cyst is found, it will be an ultrasound, if there are signs of cancer or not. It&#8217;s not all going to be a cancerous cyst. Cysts that lead to cancer usually berlokus-locus or sectional. Too thick and irregular walls.<br />
Other tests, CT scans and tumor marker (a sign of a tumor) through blood tests.<br />
@ Treatment<br />
Surgery and continuing with therapy. Complications, nausea, vomiting, or hair loss. Chemotherapy was not given to patients with early stage.<br />
<strong><br />
3. Endometrial cancer</strong><br />
@ Symptoms<br />
There is bleeding, particularly in post-menopausal or outside the menstrual period. Also when her menstrual very long and many. Due to the long period and many, it means that endometriumnya increasingly thickened.<br />
@ Early Detection<br />
Because early symptoms of bleeding, then usually examine patients early so that most of these diseases is known in its early stages.<br />
Ultrasound done to see the wall thickness of the endometrium. Curettage is then performed. Dilution will be taken to the pathology to be seen whether or not the cancer.<br />
@ Treatment<br />
Continued operations with radiation or chemotherapy.</p>
<p>DIAGNOSIS<br />
To help determine the stage of the cancer, conducted some examination follows:<br />
- Cystoscopy<br />
- Chest X-ray<br />
- Intravenous urography<br />
- Sigmoidoscopy<br />
- Skening bone and liver<br />
- Barium enema.</p>
<p><strong>PREVENTION</strong><br />
There are two ways to prevent cervical cancer:<br />
1. Preventing HPV infection<br />
2. Pap smears regularly.<br />
Pap smear (Papanicolau test) is a microscopic examination of cells obtained from cervical smear.<br />
In the Pap smear, cervical cell samples obtained with the aid of a spatula made of wood or plastic (which is applied to the outside of the cervix) and a small brush (which is inserted into the cervical canal). Cervical cells are then smeared on glass objects and then given a preservative and sent to the laboratory for examination.<br />
24 hours before undergoing a Pap smear, you should not do washing or flushing the vagina, no sexual intercourse, do not bathe and does not use tampons.<br />
Pap smears are very effective in detecting precancerous changes in the cervix.<br />
If the results of a Pap smear shows dysplasia or cervical looks abnormal, colposcopy and biopsy is usually performed</p>
<p>Exhortation to do Pap smears on a regular basis:<br />
- Every year for women aged over 35 years<br />
- Every year for women who have multiple sexual partners or have suffered sexual or genital warts HPV infection<br />
- Every year for women who use oral contraceptives<br />
- Every 2-3 years for women aged over 35 years if the Pap smear test three times in a row show negative results or to women who had undergone hysterectomy was not due to cancer<br />
- As often as possible if the results showed an abnormal Pap smear<br />
- As often as possible after the assessment and treatment of precancerous or cervical cancer.</p>
<p>To reduce the possibility of cervical cancer should be:<br />
- Children of women under the age of 18 years did not have sexual relations.<br />
- Do not have sexual relations with patients with genital warts or use condoms to prevent transmission of genital warts<br />
- Do not keep changing sexual partners<br />
- Stop smoking.<br />
- Pelvic examination every year (including Pap smear) should be started when a woman begins an active sexual intercourse or at age 20 years. Any abnormal results should be followed with colposcopy and biopsy.<br />
Some researchers have shown that vitamin A plays a role in stopping or preventing malignant changes in cells, as happens on the surface of the cervix.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Here are four types of skin problems that occur during pregnancy:</strong></p>
<p><strong>1. Pimple</strong></p>
<p>Problems of skin disorders, sometimes even disappear during pregnancy. But it can also even worse. &#8220;As the talented women because of hormonal acne, the acne that appears can be harder than ever.&#8221; If this happens, we recommend that acne is not in &#8220;doing things with tooling.&#8221; Just have to be more diligent in cleaning the baby&#8217;s face with soap or cleanser.</p>
<p>If they need treatment, medication should be enough from the outside without taking drugs. Although only topical medications but also need to be careful. Creams containing corticosteroids should not be used for a long time. Although only a little, there remains an intense absorption.</p>
<p><strong>2. Herpes</strong></p>
<p>There are various types of herpes that can arise during pregnancy, herpes zoster, herpes simplex I and II. Shingles is a kind of chicken pox, but the attack of the body only in parts of the body left or right of course. Symptoms appear pains and heat in the area of skin that will arise red spots and watering in quantity, according to the innervation of the skin. Transmitted through the skin of the patient or by air because of a conversation, for example.</p>
<p>Herpes simplex I attacked the waist up. Simplex II while attacking the waist down, mostly in the genital area. &#8220;Usually because of sexual relationships. Symptoms same as type I, but more often a recurrence.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>3. Mole</strong><br />
Because of hormonal factors during pregnancy, then existing moles in pregnant women can be aroused and then enlarged.</p>
<p>Form that increases with the darker color of this can lead to malignancies, such as tumors or melanoma (skin cancer). Just this skin disorder is rare.</p>
<p><strong>4. Dermatoisitis</strong></p>
<p>Is a skin inflammation that involves so much in their muscle tissue from the outer skin layer. All the bones and any member whose movement is going to hurt. Usually its manifestations on the skin; looks red, itchy, and there is secondary infection such as pus.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Reported health sites, that researchers at the University of Adelaide, Australia, found a link between <strong>mothers who consume folic acid at the end of term pregnancy with asthma in children in the future. </strong></p>
<p>Fetus in the womb of new mothers who consume folic acid in late pregnancy has conditioned the risk of asthma at the age of about 3.5 to 5.5 year. <strong>Of the 500 pregnant women studied since I was pregnant, found that as many as 11.6 percent of asthmatic children when the age of 3.5 years, and 11.8 percent at age 5.5 years.</strong></p>
<p>Michael Davies, one of the researchers who issued this statement saying, in <strong>this study found no evidence to suggest that supplements of folic acid has an effect if taken in early pregnancy</strong>. The researchers also said that was not found in children with asthma effects of folic acid intake that is obtained through natural means, or on foods, such as green leafy vegetables, fruits, and nuts.</p>
<p>Women are advised to consume supplements containing folic acid at a dose of 400 micrograms per day in the beginning before and during the final trimester of pregnancy to reduce birth defects.</p>
<p>The study, which was launched on October 30 in the online publication of the American Journal of Epidemiology is to say also that this study supports the standard procedures above. However, folic acid intake procedures in early pregnancy also had to be accompanied by recommendations for the final calculation of gestation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Leukemia or blood cancer, now no longer a terrible disease. A disease that a few years ago can be categorized into a deadly disease, can now be treated, and patients can recover fully. </strong>The faster the cancer in someone&#8217;s body is found, the possibility of recovery will be higher. This is discussed in a seminar on &#8220;Cancer in Children&#8221; held by the Indonesian Cancer Foundation, Tuesday (18 / 9) in Jakarta.</p>
<p><strong>Leukemia is the most types of cancer occur in children (approximately 30-40 percent)</strong>. Followed by brain tumors (approximately 10-15 percent) and cancers of the eye / retinoblastoma (about 10-12 per cent). The rest, other types of cancer such as lymphoma, cancer of the nerve, and kidney cancer. This was disclosed by Dr. Billy Djajadiman SpA (K) of Sub Section of Hematology-Oncology, Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (Faculty of medicine-RSCM),</p>
<p>Strongly suspected, cancer, genetic disorders caused plus the entry of certain viruses. So, lifestyle and exposure to carcinogenic substances can be ignored as a cause of cancer in children. But the deficiency or lack of immunity factors and exposure to radioactive substances can increase the incidence of cancer. In the case of the collapse of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, there were <strong>increasing cases of leukemia in children in Japan</strong>, because her mother was exposed to radiation.</p>
<p><strong>Leukemia cancer symptoms in children characterized by conditions accompanied by pale, listless and tired, no apparent cause of fever, abnormal bleeding, such as nosebleeds, blue patches on the skin, and fussy because he felt pain in bones and abdomen feels hard or swollen. Sometimes found a lump on the skin, gums, paralysis of facial muscles or leg for no apparent reason.</strong><strong></p>
<p>Doctor Maria Abdulsalam SpA (K) of the Section of Pediatrics Faculty of medicine-RSCM added human blood consists of blood fluid (plasma) and blood cells that circulate in the blood vessels. Broadly blood cells consist of red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and pieces of blood (thrombocyte). Red blood cells contain hemoglobin which carries oxygen to function throughout the body. Functioning of white blood cells to combat infection, are pieces of blood needed to stop bleeding in case of injury.</p>
<p><strong>Can leukemia occurs in one&#8217;s blood cells. </strong>The largest number of white blood cells. Blood cancer malignant cells will reproduce themselves uncontrollably. However, cells that actually formed is not normal and do not work. The cells were urging the growth of white blood cells and red blood cells and normal blood puck.</p>
<p>&#8220;The decline of white blood cells will cause the child susceptible to infection, low red blood cells cause the child was pale and weak, reducing the blood-chip makes a child prone to bleeding that is difficult to stop. In addition to the surface of the body, bleeding may occur in the gastrointestinal tract, brain, or other organs, and cause of death. Malignant cells can spread to the liver, spleen, lymph nodes, brain, bone, &#8220;explained Maria.</p>
<p><strong>How to cure Leukemia</strong></p>
<p>Opinion Djajadiman <strong>cancer therapy is now growing with the findings of several cytostatica (anticancer drug), a powerful combat cancer cells. The goal of treatment, is now not only to extend life, but seek healing. </strong>According to him, the possibility of leukemia are cured at 70-100 percent depending on the stage, together with the possibility of recovery for cancer Wilms (kidney cancer in children). More and treated early, the greater the possibility of full recovery.</p>
<p><strong>In leukemia, treatment</strong> by chemotherapy, continued Maria. The problem of drug cytostatica not only eradicate cancer cells. Normal blood cells are produced in the bone marrow participate terberantas, so that patients have conditions that are highly vulnerable to infection, bleeding, and general health.</p>
<p>Along with the ability to eradicate cancer cells, side effects cytostatica also advanced more forcefully. Therefore, it should be monitored closely for side effects liver, heart, and kidney. For that, in addition to cytostatica, patients were given prophylactic medication side effects also, blood transfusions, antibiotics, and nutritious food.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Treatment of leukemia patients should be performed in a hospital with complete facilities, including free room and conducted by experts of infection,&#8221;</strong> added Maria.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Leukemia (blood cancer) is a type of cancer that attacks the blood cells caused by white blood cells produced by bone marrow abnormalities.</strong> Bone marrow in the human body produces three types of blood cells, among others:</p>
<p><strong>a. White Blood Cells</strong>: Function as the immune system to fight infection<br />
<strong>b. Red Blood Cells</strong>: Function to bring oxygen into the body<br />
<strong>c. Platelets</strong>: Small portion of blood cells that function to help the process of blood clotting).</p>
<p>Someone with this condition (leukemia) will show some symptoms such as susceptible to infectious diseases, anemia and bleeding. <strong>Leukemia is generally appear in a person since the days small, bone marrow has been producing white blood cells do not develop normally without clear cause.</strong> Normally, white blood cells to repeated reproduction when the body needs it or if there is a place for the blood cell itself. The human body will give signs when will regularly be in the white blood cells reproduce again.</p>
<p>In cases of leukemia (blood cancer), white blood cells do not respond to signs given. Finally the production of white blood cells that excessive uncontrolled (abnormal) will exit from the bone marrow and can be found in the peripheral blood. The number of abnormal white blood cells of this excessive amount can disrupt the normal function of other cells.</p>
<p><strong># Is disease Acute and Chronic Leukemia?</strong></p>
<p>Acute leukemia is marked by a process of very rapid progression of the disease, deteriorating, and deadly. If this does not immediately treated, it can cause death within weeks, even up to a matter of days. While chronic leukemia have disease processes that are not so quickly that it has a longer life expectancy, up to more than one year.</p>
<p><strong># What are the classification of leukemia?</strong></p>
<p>Leukemia is classified according to cell type. When inspection reveals that affects lymphocyte leukemia or lymphoid cells, it is called lymphocytic leukemia. While the leukemia that affects cells such as neutrophils mieloid, basofil, and eosinophil, called chronic myelogenous leukemia.</p>
<p>From this classification, the Leukemia is divided into four types, namely:</p>
<p><strong>1. Acute lymphocytic leukemia</strong>: A type of leukemia most commonly occurs in children. The disease is also found in adults, especially have been aged 65 years or more.<br />
<strong>2. Acute myelogenous leukemia</strong>: Leukemia is more common in adults than children. This type formerly called nonlimfositik acute leukemia.<br />
3<strong>. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia</strong>: This is often suffered by adults older than 55 years. Sometimes also suffered by young adults, and almost did not happen in children.<br />
<strong>4. Chronic myelogenous leukemia</strong>: frequent in adults. Can also occur in children, but very little.</p>
<p><strong># Does Disease Cause Leukemia?</strong></p>
<p>Until now, <strong>the cause of leukemia can not be known for certain, but there are several factors affecting the frequency of occurrence of leukemia.</strong></p>
<p><strong>1. Radiation.</strong> This is supported by some reports from some studies that deal with cases of leukemia, that the employees of radiology more often suffer from leukemia, patients with radiotherapy more often suffering from leukemia. This is reinforced by the fact Leukemia commonly found in victims of life events of Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombs, Japan.</p>
<p><strong>2. Leukemogenik.</strong> Several chemicals have been identified are reported can affect the frequency of leukemia, eg environmental toxins such as benzene, industrial chemicals such as insecticides, medicines used for chemotherapy.</p>
<p><strong>3. Hereditary.</strong> Down Syndrome sufferers have an acute leukemia incidence 20 times greater than normal people.</p>
<p><strong>4. Viruses</strong>. Some types of viruses can cause leukemia, such as retroviruses, feline leukemia virus, and HTLV-1 in adults.</p>
<p><strong># Are Signs and Symptoms of Leukemia Disease?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Leukemia symptoms caused generally </strong>different in each patient, however, can generally be described as follows:</p>
<p><strong>1. Anemia.</strong> Patients will soon appear tired, pale and breathing fast (red blood cells below normal causing less oxygen in the body, resulting in the patient breathes faster to compensate for the fulfillment of oxygen in the body).</p>
<p><strong>2. Bleeding.</strong> When Platelets (blood clotting cells) can not be produced with reasonable because dominated by white blood cells, then the patient will experience bleeding in the skin tissue (number of larvae wide red little skin).</p>
<p><strong>3. Esophageal infection</strong>. White blood cells act as protective immunity, especially against infectious diseases. In Leukemia Patients, white blood cells formed are not normal, so that white blood cells do not function properly. As a result the body of the patient vulnerable to viral infection or bacteria, even by itself will reveal the existence of a complaint of fever, white-out fluid from the nose and cough.</p>
<p><strong>4. Bones and Joints Pain</strong>. This is caused as a result of solid bone marrow urgently because the abnormal white blood cell production.</p>
<p><strong>5. Stomach pain</strong>. Abdominal pain is also one indication of the symptoms of leukemia, where the leukemia cells may collect in kidney, liver and bile that causes enlargement of these organs. This may cause abdominal pain loss of appetite patients with leukemia.</p>
<p><strong>6. Swollen Glands Lympa</strong>. Patients likely to experience swelling of the lymph glands, whether it is under the arm, neck, chest and others. Spleen is in charge of filtering the blood gland, leukemia cells can be collected here and cause swelling.</p>
<p><strong>7. Difficulty breathing (dyspnea)</strong>. Patients may exhibit symptoms of difficulty breathing and chest pain, if this happens then have to immediately get medical help.</p>
<p><strong># What mode Disease Diagnosis Leukemia (Blood Cancer)?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Leukaemia disease can be ascertained with some checks, such as by biopsy, Blood tests (complete blood count (CBC)), CT or CAT scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), X-ray, Ultrasound, Spinal tap / lumbar puncture.</strong></p>
<p><strong># How How To Handling and Treatment of Leukemia?</strong></p>
<p>Handling cases of leukemia disease usually starts from the symptoms that arise, such as anemia, bleeding and infection. Broadly speaking the handling and treatment of leukemia can be done by a single or a combination of several methods below:</p>
<p>1. Chemotherapy / intrathecal medications<br />
2. Radiation Therapy. This method is rarely used<br />
Third. Bone marrow transplant<br />
4. Provision of drugs and hypodermic tablets<br />
5. Transfusions of red blood cells or platelets.</p>
<p>Therapy systems that are often used in dealing with patients with leukemia is a combination of chemotherapy and administration of drugs that focuses on the dismissal of production of abnormal white blood cells in the bone marrow. Next is the treatment of some symptoms and signs have been displayed by the patient&#8217;s body to monitor the komprehensive</p>
