Gall Stone Pain wary, Often At Ulcer Pain Diagnosis

Gall Stone Pain wary, Often At Ulcer Pain Diagnosis


Gallstone disease is one of the many health problems experienced by the community. Still, a few patients with gallstones initially thought that the pain is only common digestive disorders like ulcers.

As revealed by Dr. Rino Alvani Gani, Sp.PD (KGEH), a specialist in internal medicine from Bintaro International Hospital, Tangerang, many patients who did not realize he often complained of heartburn, when actually experiencing pain of gallstones. "In fact, symptoms of gallstones is a lot like heartburn. Not a few people with frequent trips to the doctor and given the ulcer drug, but did not improve," said Rino in the discussion of Gall Stone Treatment at the Hospital International Bintaro on Thursday (18 / 9) It may happen because the complaint is felt in places adjacent, ie, stomach and gallbladder, where both are located in the gut. If one of these organs becomes inflamed, it's almost the same. "People think a lot of heartburn and bloating. But after several examinations there was a rock in a bag or bile channel," said Rino.

To distinguish with ulcer, said doctors who had become the best researcher in the Faculty medical UI, it should be noted propagation and frequency of pain. "If the frequency of ulcer pain usually slowly until finally the pain was so intense. But when gallstones pain suddenly arises with great and then go away," he explained. Inflammation of the sac and duct also cause pain below the ribs a little bit to the right. Potentially radiating pain down to the waist to the right and the right shoulder. When the stomach is inflamed, the pain was less upward solar plexus and to the left. "The pain usually occurs within 2-4 hours after eating fatty foods. The incidence of sudden often between the hours of 9 pm to 6 am," he explained.

Gallstones usually form in the gall bladder or bile ducts and liver channels. This stone can trigger inflammation and infection of the gallbladder and on other channels when a stone out of the gallbladder and cause blockage in other channels. "Gallstones are small is more dangerous than large stones. Because of the small chance to relocate or travel to another place and trigger other problems," he said.

Dr Rino Alvani Gani, Sp.PD (KGEH) adds, pain experienced by patients with gallstones and West Asia triggered by different causes. Research shows, gallstone disease in Asia is generally caused by infection in the digestive tract, while in the West triggered four risk factors, namely female gender, age above 40 years, high-fat diet, and fertility.

In Asia, including Indonesia, trigger an infection can be caused by germs that come from food consumed. Infection can spread to the bile duct to the gallbladder. "In Indonesia, the most important cause is not due to fat or cholesterol, but due to infections in the gut. The infection is spread unnoticed tract and cause inflammation of the gallbladder resulting in fluid in the gallbladder and cause the stone to settle. Infections are particularly causes of gallstones, said Rino, was typhoid or typhus. "Typhoid germs estuary or terminal was last in the gallbladder can cause local inflammation that is not perceived patient does not feel pain or fever .. Habits of the patient to discontinue antibiotic medication to completion can also lead to gallstones. Bacteria will continue to be in the gallbladder because of the journey will lead to cycles in the gallbladder. "Therefore, antibiotics should be spent so that the bacteria in the gallbladder is completely discharged.

Lifestyle Safe For Chronic Kidney Patients

Lifestyle Safe For Chronic Kidney Patients

Setting Food and Drink (Diet)
Food and drink are important to everyone, but more importantly in patients with CKD. Why? When kidney disorder / damage, metabolic waste substances and excess fluid and not required to be disturbed exile so that accumulate in the blood. Depending on the severity of the disease, this buildup can cause a variety of complaints that disturb ranging from nausea, vomiting, swelling (edema) and so on. By limiting and regulating the amount and type of food and drink into the body, substances remaining and less fluid will accumulate in the blood so that the complaint is reduced and the body more comfortable. These are 5 basic things that should be of concern:

A. Reduce intake of protein (especially for non-dialysis CKD patients routinely).
• Why?
Our bodies need protein in sufficient quantities. Among other useful protein to build and repair body tissues (eg muscles) that were damaged. The use of protein in the body produces waste materials in the form of a substance urea, which will usually expelled from the body by healthy kidneys. However, the kidneys are impaired will have trouble throwing the substance of urea from the body. As a result, there is accumulation of urea in the blood, causing what is called an increase in Blood Urea Nitrogen or BUN. One way to prevent this is to reduce the intake of protein. Although it should be limited, but patients with CKD still needs the protein intake for the body to function properly. Therefore, restriction of protein intake is not simply just 'reduce' alone but should be regulated by a doctor / nutritionist competent. In general, regulation of protein intake is based on the levels of GFR patients with CKD is concerned, by following the example as follows:


Protein intake is restricted to the PGK1
GFR (mL / min) protein intake (g / kg / day)
> 60 ---------- ------------------> protein restriction is not recommended

25-60 ---------- ----------------> 0.6 - 0.8 g / kg / hr, including> 0:35 g / kg / hr protein with high biological value.

5-25 ---------- -----------------> 0.6 - 0.8 g / kg / hr, including> 0:35 g / kg BW / day protein with high biological value or an additional 0.3 g of essential amino acids or a ketoacid.

<60 (nephrotic syndrome) --------> 0.8 g / kg / hr (plus 1g protein / g proteinuria or 0.3 g / kg addition of essential amino acid or ketoacid)

• Protein intake TIPS Set
CKD patient's body is more capable of using this type of protein with high biological value. Therefore, in choosing the type of protein consumed, it is recommended to include a protein with high biological value, such as chicken, fish, lean meats, milk and cheese.

B. Reducing Salt Intake
• Why?
Salt (sodium) is holding water. If you reduce salt intake, fluid in the body is not too many pile up, swelling of hands and feet that often occur when excessive body fluid will also be reduced, and the work of the heart and lungs also become lighter, thereby reducing the complaints of tightness and difficulty breathing. In addition, if you reduce the salt, the thirst will also be reduced so that the frame does not drink too much water.

• TIPS Reducing Salt Intake
1. Check food labels in the supermarket if it will buy the food. Choose foods do not contain too much sodium / sodium (preferably less than 400mg sodium / serving).
2. Expand the consumption of natural foods like fresh vegetables or fruit. Avoid canned food or instant food. Use a small cup so you do not drink too much.
3. Reduce salt in food will be consumed. Use other seasonings such as garlic, lemon, cinnamon, etc. to give a sense of cuisine that is not too fresh.
4. If using salt substitutes, choose one that does not contain potassium.

C. Reducing the Intake Air / Fluid
• Why?
Kidneys healthy and functioning normally would regulate fluid balance in the body, including the amount of fluid discharged through the urine. If the kidney is damaged / disturbed, this arrangement will be disrupted. Therefore, the liquid should be regulated, and if it needs to be reduced (per physician).


• TIPS Reduces Intake Air / Fluid
1. Sip-sucking piece of lemon, sour candy / gum to moisten your mouth from getting too dry / thirsty.
2. Drink only when really hungry for it.
3. Reduce foods that are too salty that are not easily thirsty.
4. Do not eat too many biscuits or crackers or snacks that are too salty.
5. If you are diabetic, you also need to control blood sugar levels from getting too high. High blood sugar levels also make it easier for you thirsty.


D. Reducing Intake of Potassium
• Why?
Potassium is a type of mineral that the body needs and can be obtained from food. As with the sodium salt and water, potassium levels are also regulated in the body by the kidneys. Therefore, the damaged kidneys can result in increased blood potassium levels, so the restriction of potassium from food may be needed so that potassium is not excessive. Excessive levels of potassium can cause problems such as heart rhythm disturbances that can be fatal.

• TIPS Reducing Intake of Potassium
1. Read food labels to find out the amount of potassium contained, and limit consumption of foods containing high amounts of potassium (eg spinach, tomatoes, potatoes, bananas, dried beans, and oranges).
2. Boiling starchy foods like potatoes with lots of fresh water that can reduce the amount of potassium contained in it. Do not forget to drain and discard cooking water before serving.

E. Reduce intake of phosphate
• Why?
Dairy products (milk, cheese, and yogurt), dried nuts, and chocolate, contain large amounts of phosphate. Consumption of these foods can raise levels of phosphate in the blood. If this excess can not be removed entirely by the kidneys, can have an effect weakens the bones in the body.


• TIPS Reducing Intake of Phosphates
Doctors may prescribe phosphate binders to help the body to reduce excessive levels of phosphate. The medication is best taken with food to prevent phosphate absorbed into the bloodstream, so that phosphate levels are not increased. However, nutritional and fluid needs of each person is not always the same. Therefore, always consult a doctor or nutritionist to find the right settings for your nutrition. You may have been told by a doctor about the amount of your daily drinking needs. Bring the water containing the appropriate amount of water you need for that day, and drink water only from a place that's all, so you can control the amount of water you drink and not drinking excessively.

In addition to protein and fat are very low, there is also a B-complex vitamins-riboflavin, niacin, and panthotenat-as well as some minerals such as Na (sodium), K (potassium), and Se (selenium) and other materials as anti-oxidants and anti-cancer properties.

It is not surprising that the presence of sufficient portabella equipped with a compound useful / efficacious always associated with the benefits and usefulness for (among others) preventing / treating malignancies of the present.

As a health food, portabella very good / suitable for those who are dieting to lose weight (NIH THIS MY Addicted BANGET BIKIN D hehe). Because in addition to low fat content, high fiber content of this fungus.

Portabella also be a food that is full of benefits for people with diabetes mellitus / diabetes mellitus and hypertension / high blood pressure. This fungus is very helpful in the regeneration of body cells, especially after illness.

The same fungus is believed to be prevented as early as possible as well as inhibit the growth of cancer cells, especially for prostate cancer and breast cancer (but I have not found research).

Champignon, mushroom compost or button mushrooms



Champignon, mushroom compost or button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus, Agaricus campestris) is a species first cultivated wild mushrooms since hundreds of years ago. This fungus has the organoleptic (taste, aroma and appearance) is high, exciting, and delightful, than the value of a profitable business because of the many fans. Button mushrooms are particularly popular in the region has four seasons as some regions in Europe, the United States, also Asia and Africa.
In fact, through engineering technology by choosing the high ground and maintaining indoor environmental regulation, at several places in Indonesia such as Bandung, Dieng, Bumiayu, and Brastagi, cultivation of mushrooms can be implemented properly. Mushroom, mushroom rice, supa pare (volvaceae Volvariella, Volvariella esculenta) is a type of wild mushrooms are cultivated both for having organoleptic value, good business, and profitable, especially in the tropics. Champignon mushroom rice and mushrooms, including non-timber group.
While the shiitake mushrooms or hioko and donko (Lentinus edodes) is a fungus that first timber of wild life (as an example is found in the forests of East Kalimantan) with a stick on dry or weathered wood. Wood fungus was first cultivated it also has high organoleptic value and medicinal, so quickly accepted by society. Shiitake for example, can lower cholesterol and sugar content in blood.
In the late 1990s, the order of the type of commercial yeast produced on a large scale everywhere because it has huge business value to billions of U.S. dollars, among others: champignon, produced up to 1.25 million metrik-ton/tahun. Shiitake produced up to 265,000 metrik-ton/tahun, mushroom (manufactured to 70,000 metrik-ton/tahun), and there is a new additional type, namely winter mushroom (Flammulina velutipes) with production of up to 68,000 metric tons. Ear fungus, supa lember or Hiratake (Auricularia polytricha) produced up to 65,000 metric tons. In Indonesia in terms of amount, the highest ranking are retained by the fungus of rice, followed by ear mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and champignon.
However, judging from the business value and extent of trade, then the first rank is held by a shiitake mushroom, champignon, ear fungus, followed by mushroom rice. You see, mushroom rice in Indonesia related to pesticide residues has been dragged along with rice straw (as a raw material cultivation), so that only eligible for local consumption only. In the highlands champignon which was originally produced in the Dieng plateau highlands are now moving to Bumiayu (Brebes-Noida border) and Pangalengan (Bandung). This fungus appears to have potential markets and generate higher income, both as fresh commodity (untreated) or as processed commodities grown in Indonesia is Agaricus bisporus. Seed from the Netherlands, Taiwan, and the United States. The color white mushroom Agaricus bisporus with hood size 3-5 cm in diameter. High stalk to 6 cm, while the size of buds 2-3 cm diameter. There are also types of Agaricus campestris from Australia and France, which has a size and color is almost identical to the first.
Unfortunately Indonesia does not include champignon producer countries, although Indonesian products in the form of fresh or processed products have entered the world market. The Indonesian market is primarily in Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and the United States, although still in limited quantities. United States listed as the first country's largest producer of champignon (246,000 metric-tons), followed by France (160,000 metric-ton), China (140,000 metric-tons), Netherlands (93 000 metric-ton), English (84 000 metric-ton), and Taiwan (59 000 metric-ton). Other countries which include producing fungi are Italy, Spain, Germany, South Korea, Canada, and so although the average is still below the 15,000 metric-ton. Portabella mushrooms Population United States and Europe is more recognized as a type of Agaricus mushrooms that have been cultivated, both commonly known as the champignon, white fungus, mushrooms, button mushrooms and a list of names of other regions. Although then the population began to identify and cultivate local fungi-for example in Indonesia with a mushroom / mushroom rice-champignon presence remained to be excellent.
This fungus was not able to be shifted by other fungal species. Agaricus with various kinds became part of the life of the population that can not be separated anymore. Therefore, do not be surprised if later emerged a new kind other than Agaricus campestris Agaricus, Agaricus bisporus and Agaricus bitorquis. Emerged as the result of new development Agaricus brunescens commonly known by the name of portabella mushrooms, portobello mushrooms, or brown mushrooms, the hard work of the United States experts. Cultivation of mushrooms is great interest in the United States, especially the kind for consumption. In fact, later developed also have medicinal mushrooms by various bodies of research and development related. The presence of portabella mushroom-common name in the United States-be competitors tight shiitake mushrooms previously by experts predicted would be a kind of prima donna in the United States, beating the fungus from Japan or China that dominated previously. Whether on the production side as well as from the business, excellence is not much different portabella mushrooms with champignon. The difference is the size of the fungus that 2-3 times larger than the usual champignon and color. When the usual clean white champignon (Agaricus bisporus) or grayish white (Agaricus campestris), the portabella mushroom Agaricus brunescens or brown with the size of the fruit body 2-3 times greater.
Portabella mushroom cultivation generally did not differ with champignon. Required media / compost dipasteurisasikan place, an environment that cold, moist, free / protected from the presence of residual contamination (eg chemical compounds from pesticides), as well as microbial contamination, either bacterial or wild mushrooms. Efficacy portabella mushroom Surprisingly the microbiologist and expert on chemical compounds perjamuran is content contained in portabella mushroom fruiting bodies. In addition to protein and fat are very low, there is also a B-complex vitamins-riboflavin, niacin, and panthotenat-as well as some minerals such as Na (sodium), K (potassium), and Se (selenium) and other materials as anti-oxidants and anti-cancer properties.

For comparison, tempeh is made from soy are rich in fiber and also as a source of various nutrients such as calcium, B vitamins, and iron, have the following content: 204 calories, 17 grams protein, 8 grams fat, 15 grams carbohydrates, 80 mg calium, Fe (Iron) 2 mg, and 0.2 mg Zn.

Can be compared to chicken meat protein content 18.2 grams, 25.0 grams of fat, but carbohydrates and 0.0 grams of Vitamin C is also 0.0 grams. Thus, nutritional yeast is still more complete, so no one when it is said fungus is a food of the future.

Antikolesterol

Mentioned that the researchers suggest that the cancer disease should humans consume red meat no more than three ounces per day or less. The meat is beef, buffalo, goats, and pigs that can lead to higher risk as a cause of colon cancer, and also the possibility of breast, prostate, pancreas, stomach, and kidney cancer.

As a standardized product of the oyster mushroom (Plurotus ostreatus and P. eryngii) called Plovastin the market as a cholesterol-lowering supplements. Plovastin is the active component of statins, as well inhibit the metabolism of cholesterol in the human body.

Results of the study Bobek (1999) from the Research Institute of Nutrition, Bratislava on "Natural products with anti-oxidant hypolipemic and effect". Studies have been conducted in a group with 57 men: women = 1:1, age middle-aged, with cases of hyperlipoproteinemia. During one month they consume 10 grams of oyster mushrooms on a regular basis. Conclusion, statistically very promising, namely serum cholesterol and down 12.6 percent and 27.2 percent triglycerol down. Oyster mushrooms also have antioxidant effects with lower results in peroxidation in erythrocytes.

Beta-1, 3/1-6-Glucan polysaccharida naturally derived from the intensively studied since 1950 as an antitumor and immunostimulating device (trigger immunity). Pleuran is a Beta-1.3 / 1-6-Glucan isolated from oyster mushrooms that have a high content of polysaccharida, commonly used for creams, ointments, suspensions, and powders for skin care in the world by researchers and cosmetics companies for formulation (Example; Estee Lauder and Clinique). Concentration from 0.5 to 2.00 percent. This facial treatment is useful to bind water, moisten the skin and anti-inflammatory.
