Help Premature Baby

As a person who was born in premature condition, I had more concern about premature baby. Recently, I read an article about premature babies. Premature birth is sometimes unavoidable. Nearly 10% infants in this world born premature every year. How to save premature babies?

Saving the premature baby is very important, because nearly 30% of these premature babies died at an early age.

But by looking at high rates of premature babies actually potentially increase infant mortality and not the maximum quality of life.

WHO, world health agencies in the world every two seconds a baby is born with low weight conditions (low birth weight).

The problem of premature babies is not just about weight but other conditions that must be taken to ensure that the baby can survive. "A premature baby would have a low birth weight, but not all babies with low birth weight were born prematurely,"

A premature baby who was born four months eight days earlier, he had a greater chance of living compared to premature babies born younger than that.

For proper handling of preterm infants and scientific:
1. Make sure
Make sure there is a baby's body temperature at normal temperature, which ranged from 36.5-37.5 ° C, to avoid hypothermia and hyperthermia, among others by Kangaroo-care.

Kangaroo-skin care is a touch-to-skin that is important to be mothers with premature babies. This is a simple and accurate way of comfort premature baby condition.

2. Discipline
Discipline in providing nutritional intake with a frequency 80-10 times a day. Natural nutrient that is needed is rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, AA, and DHA.

3. Focus
Focus on monitoring digestion frequency of infants. Normally is between 4-6 times per day, according to a given intake. It is important to know the growth and development of our baby.

Definition of premature infants:
1. All premature infants categorized if born before 37 weeks
2. Moderate premature if born between weeks 35 and 37
3. Very premature if born between weeks 29 and 34
4. Extreme premature if born less than 29 weeks
5. Babies of low birth weight if less than 2.5 kg
6. Weight loss is very low if less than 1.5 kg
7. Extreme low weight of less than 1 kg.

"Premature babies are babies born with special conditions that are different from infants of normal birth in general. Therefore, premature infants have special needs and appropriate treatment and carefully,"

Perinatalog leading experts revealed various causes of premature birth, including the following:
1. Cervix Incompetence
In general, the cervix is in a closed state. However, in some cases, existing in a state of the cervix is open. This makes the potential for premature birth.

2. Pre-Eclampsia/Eclampsia
Pregnancy diseases such as hypertension, which can interfere with the infant in the womb.

3. Placenta Previa
Placenta previa is a condition in which there eating channels beneath the cervix, thus closing the path of birth.

4. Fetal growth Retardation
Fetal growth retardation is the occurrence of disorders or growth disorders that are known baby in the womb through ultrasound, which requires fast delivery.

5. Infection / Chorio-amniotis
Namely the occurrence of infection in the lining of the baby wrap.

6. A Multiple Gestations
State of the uterus that can not accommodate infants because the load is too great, typically occurs in cases of twins.

7. Poly-Hydramnios/Fetal malformation
Too much amniotic fluid can also cause premature birth.

8. Uterine Abnormalities
Uterine abnormalities are abnormalities of the uterus.

The equipment used in the treatment of a doctor who performed in premature infants is as follows:
1. Heat Incubator
Babies born in the state has no fat, his skin is very thin so it is very susceptible to temperature and susceptible to hypothermia. Therefore, premature infants in the heat put into an incubator to maintain body temperature.

Second. Breathing Machine
Breathing organs underdeveloped babies are perfect so that the respirator used this. In the use of these tools need to be considered an acceptable level of oxygen by the baby.

3. Food channel
Food channel is used because the baby sucking reflex is not functioning properly. The mother's breast milk must be pumped before then inserted into the esophagus.

"The younger the age of the birth of a premature baby, the greater the risk of death. Therefore it is necessary for a strict monitoring. And who can decide the baby is allowed to take home was a pediatrician who handles the baby,".

Premature babies should leave the hospital when it meets the following criteria:
1. Weight loss has exceeded 1 800 gr.
2. Been able to consume food orally (by mouth).
3. Been able to regulate body temperature stable.
4. No longer needed oxygen therapy.
5. Weight gain is quite stable.
6. Babies have reached clinical stability. In this case, must be ensured that the baby was actually able to breathe normally, because it could happen to the baby stopped breathing suddenly, although it seems to have stabilized breathing.

Be a smart Patient

One reason why we are reluctant to go to the doctor or hospital, could be due to communication problems. This is because we are not really know what we really feel when we get sick. Then, to get the most out of meetings with doctors, patients should prepare themselves:

* Wear clothing that allows doctors to do the examination.

* Take note of complaint to the doctor to deliver, what perceived, and efforts already undertaken to reduce the pain. Also never let the disease or being suffered, wrote to a drug that is being drunk, and if there are allergies of you.

* From the frequently asked questions about patient complaints and physical examination, the doctor will diagnose and provide therapy, including prescription drugs. Patients are entitled to clear information about the investigation, asking if there is something not clear yet, also took the decision to accept or reject a doctor's advice about treatment will be given. If the patient does not accept the decision of the doctor, he was entitled to seek a second opinion from other doctors.

* Smart Patients need to ask questions and find out what medicine your doctor prescribes and its benefits.

* If the financial conditions are not possible, patients need to ask for generic drugs. Remember, treatment takes time, patience, and perseverance. There are doctors who want to carry the patient will recover quickly, so do various types of inspection that is not necessarily required or given excessive medication.

* On the contrary, a wise doctor is able to communicate effectively with patients. Doctors want to listen to patients' complaints, answer questions and explain the situation of the patient, advising enough, and not just give recipes, so that patients were satisfied.

* The ability to communicate is at the core of the work of doctors. Real cleverness is secondary. Section, 60 percent of the patients was not sick, but having a functional disorder. Only 40 percent who are really sick, or even 20 percent will heal itself.

Then, how to deal with doctors who are not communicative? Your advised is to leave the room and immediately moved the doctor if possible.

If Not Satisfied Feeling

Ever been disappointed by the service at the hospital? In order for your complaint submitted better, here are some steps:

* If you have a complaint, write down clearly the date, day, and hour of the incident, if necessary, the name of the officer who provides the service. Then you can contact the public relations department or customer service hospital.

* There is the head of the hospital in charge of taking care of maintenance problems or complaints, so patients are advised to contact the Head (Field) Nursing if dissatisfied. If the problem is not solved, it was likely a direct forward to the director or head of the hospital.

* You can contact representatives of the Hospital Association of Indonesia's local. Persi has stewardship in all areas in all provinces in Indonesia.

* Make the suggestion box in each hospital to communicate the things that are considered patients (consumers) are not worth doing by hospital personnel. This is a positive feedback to the hospitals for correction. Without input from consumers, the hospital manager will always feel that the service provided is good enough. So, input or criticism should be accepted as a mechanism for user control of hospital services.

* If you are not satisfied with physician services, consumers can immediately clarify with a doctor first. Including the alleged error service procedure (drugs, doses, and action).

* It is not justifiable if clarification when patients do, the doctor does not serve well, such as avoidance or plead not have time. A doctor who provides services to patients already bound by a contract, known as therapeutic contract , so that the doctor concerned must give an explanation for each question the patient. Professional attitude must be maintained by the doctors.

* Understand the rights of patients, one gets a clear and correct information. Use it well right, tell the doctor that you are entitled to the information you want. If there are less obvious, such as a matter of choice of drug (generic or patent), dosage, medical treatment, patients also have the right to ask for receipts for hospital bills for patients hospitalized for up to clear properly clarified, also about the use of drugs and equipment must pay.

* Observing and researching medical action whatever has been done, whether as it should be paid. Is the patient's right to know every dollar spent to pay for hospital expenses.

Breastfeed without pregancy

Normally a mother may breastfeed her child after undergoing the process during the ninth month of pregnancy and childbirth. But can it be done without a previous pregnancy?

Breastfeeding or lactation period is defined as the production and release (secretion) of milk from the mammary gland to provide milk to children. When feeding usually occurs after childbirth.

During pregnancy, levels of female hormones like progesterone and estrogen can be increased in the body. Immediately after birth, progesterone and estrogen levels decline, while the level of another hormone called prolactine increases.

Prolactine is a hormone which is responsible to encourage and sustain lactation. High levels of prolactine will send signals to the brain to stimulate breast milk production in mothers.

Pregnancy and lactation associated with one another. However, lactation does not necessarily have to occur after pregnancy. There are many cases one can breastfeed without prior pregnancy. This may be alarming and shocking, but this is not dangerous.

Lactation without pregnancy can be caused by several conditions, among others:

1. Hormonal Changes
There are various stages in a woman's life cycle, in which changes in hormonal levels occur. The body responds to changes in various ways, one of which can be lactating without pregnancy.

2. Miscarriage
In some women, miscarriage can also cause lactation without pregnancy. Miscarriage followed by changes in certain hormones that can eventually cause a woman can breastfeed.

3. Nipple stimulation
Breasts are part of the reproductive system and plays a role after the birth of a child. But the job requires stimulation or stimulation of the breast. If nipples sucked on a regular basis, then suck the brains to make the movement as a signal to start producing milk. As a result, non-pregnant women can spend breastfeeding.

4. Influence of drug
There are certain drugs that can stimulate lactation. Drugs are usually inhibits dopamine and increased production of prolactine. Increased prolactine, in turn, led to women without pregnancy lactation.

5. Herbs
Eating certain herbs can induce lactation, even without the pregnancy. For example, fennel, fennel seeds, cumin, and some types of leaf creepers

Trick to manage your anger

Mastering yourself when emotions are uncontrollable need a special technique. It seemed almost everyone had been in this condition, when the anger is at the head end, and it wants to explode. If occurs in the office for example, your reputation at stake, or at least humiliate themselves.

Consider these steps for controlling emotions succinctly:
1. Calm yourself with a set respiratory
Inhale slowly deeper, while repeating the word "calm". Perform this step continuously to make yourself feel better. Do not say anything except the repetition of the word "calm" (speak slowly). Focus on pulling movements such as breathing meditation to calm yourself, and do not do other activities, until you are sure, you've calmed down.

2. Recognize what causes / your anger provocation
Get to know further what caused your emotion was so disturbed. Is unpleasant situation, and make the anger raging? Or a specific event that made you become temperamental because it concerns yourself, and tend to hurt? Or is the behavior, attitude, speech, conduct or messages, writings, notes from someone who trigger your anger? If you've found out who or what is the root of the problem, point out if it's just your assumption, or indeed reality. Make sure you also find yourself directly, and not just a rumor that just want to insult you with other.

3. Use a rational approach
Make sure you are still able to think rationally in the act, although emotions were high. Think again, arrange the problem, and find the real reason for what happened, and why are you so angry. This rational approach needs to find a solution. Does this problem in the past sparked anger unresolved? Or whether the incidents are currently only to provoke your anger over problems in the past? Find out what really makes you angry. Her word? How would you feel real, and what needs to be changed or done under the circumstances?

These questions should you think, and you answered with rational, before acting more out of control again. Could be, people who trigger your anger was indeed having a bad day, and just need a little tolerance from you. Maybe he did not mean to hurt your feelings.

4. Change the situation after getting the root problem
Once you have identified the root of the problem, and the context and the issues behind the events that provoke anger, do something to change things. Give advance notice to clarify your feelings about the stressful situation. Identify whether these provocative events that trigger anger because it is associated with negative feelings in the past. Identify anger is not exhaustive, and finish it right then. Do not bring up the past because it is only going to spend your energy. If you've overcome this anger, you will be more rational attitude. Just add a little humor in responding to mengurasi your anger issues.



If still too emotional, and unbearable, do not say or respond to the emotional state. Leave the room, find objects rebound fury like a diary. Write down your anger, and pointed out all the resentment. This way at least helps to vent their negative energy within ourselves. Shouting in the field or a deserted area visitors can also be a solution. Or want to sing karaoke and center so hard? That sounds good, nothing will be disturbed is not it? Dealing with patients

Dealing with people who had already suffered incredible patience was needed. As a spouse or family member that same house, the first should first understand that patients are not fully aware of the symptoms he experienced. But with the fight or try to bring them directly nor wise.

Better to ask a third party, example someone who gets enough respect from concerned, to give a discourse, or through prayer, meditation or remembrance. Through activities that may draw closer to God, he can learn to understand that the fact that power is not eternal.

Second, we should learn to accept him as it is, do not respond with the same anger. I further recommend that the respective endeavored to have a variety of activities that can channel the negative emotion or dissatisfaction with life in a more constructive, such as following the social activities of interest, was asked to give lectures to the topic under his rule, when there are family events, teaching specific skills to those in need, undergo a hobby gardening, and exercising

Try to learn Apologize for your children.

"Man is a storehouse of error," reads a proverb wisely. However, it does not mean to apologize for the error becomes easier, including for children of school age. So that children want to apologize, the following six steps that can be applied on the child's parents.

1. Give children the opportunity to express the problem.
Dig a child from what made him not want to / refuse to apologize. Parents and teachers should be neutral, not siding with the perpetrator or victim. If they siding, feared the recovery of both relationships will be increasingly difficult.

2. Does not force the child to apologize.
Often encountered parents who force their children to apologize, "Come on, you just apologize now brother!" Actually, this way is not true and can suppress the child. Increasingly forced to apologize, the more difficult for children to do so. Because coercion is something that is not fun then it will not be repeated again. Or, if they wish, the child will be forced to apologize, not sincere.

3. Grow empathy in children.
The best way to foster empathy. "You've hit brother like that. Just think, you think if you needed it, how does it feel?" Maybe kids will not directly answer or comment on the spot by saying, "No good", for example. But at least the kids know, actions have made others suffer, bothered, or hurt.

You should be able to understand, that's not good deeds. He also had to feel what others feel. Children should see the impact he did on other children, how these people's feelings, and so forth.

4. Give encouragement
Examples, "mother would be happy if you listen to complaints of others and you want to change your attitude. I wish you could also apologized for the deeds you've done to your friend." Such expectations do not give the impression force and overbearing, but teach children to be open and make him think. Especially at this age children already can be invited to think about the consequences.

5. Recommend a variety of ways to apologize
There are many ways to apologize, either directly or indirectly. There are over shake hands, hug, touch and other ways, or the latest by message, e-mail, chat, comment on the sorry social networking such as Facebook, Friendster, and others.

Children know which plaing right and fitting. Usually by freed their opinions, children will find plenty of ideas. Unless the children did not know how, then parents have the opportunity to provide input.

6. Give tolerance time
Avoid telling the child to apologize on the spot. Parents do have to wait until the kids want to do it with sincerity without resorting. Furthermore, if the child is ready, parents can be a mediator, helps the child to apologize and reconcile the two warring children.

The Beginning of your Alzheimer

Alzheimer's disease is deterioration in memory and thinking power due to the death of nerve cells rapidly. The disease more commonly known as senility is often detected too late resulting in paralysis of mind and social abilities of the patient.

Researchers from the United States recently claimed reduced the ability of sense of smell as a signal early Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's sufferers are experiencing interference with the sense of smell. However, the researchers found a direct relationship between the formation of amyloid plaque, dirt in the brain that causes Alzheimer's, and reduced ability to sense of smell.

This is proven through a study of rats. The experts found a plaque or feces was first formed in the rat brain that serves to smell. When tested, mice that have a plaque takes more time in sniffing the smell before the recall.

In addition to decreased sense of smell function, Alzheimer's symptoms vary, among other things memory decline (eg, forgetting names and forgot where to put things), changes in mood and behavior, it is difficult to find the right word for an object or situation, and often target (disorientation) .

At a more advanced stage, Alzheimer's sufferers do not remember anything else about yourself, your family, and environment and no longer able to communicate well enough to need care and assistance of others.

The risk of Alzheimer's are the elderly (over 60 years), have a family history of Alzheimer's affected, patients with stroke, heart disorders, diabetes, as well as head injury or brain.

Brain cells disappeared? Senile coming

People who have lost a few cells in a region "hippocampus" in the brain more likely to be attacked by sick memory, said several scientists in the journal "American Academy of Neurology."

Dr. Wouter J.P. Henneman, from Vu University Medical Center in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and colleagues used MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) to measure the volume of the entire brain, and the "hippocampus" in the 64 Alzheimer's patients early in their studies and once again an average of 18 months later in order to take into account number of brain shrinkage.

Study participants included 44 people with mild disorders of cognitive resources (MCI) and 34 patients who had no memory impairment or the power of thought which became "controlling".

During the study, the team found three "controllers" and 23 people with MCI have Alzheimer's disease, and the group of "controllers" with a volume of "hippocampus" is smaller and the larger the depreciation rate for a possible three to four times higher for infected compared with Alzheimer's volume "hippocampus" bigger and slower depreciation rate.

"These findings seem to reflect that at the stage of mild cognitive disorder, a prominent atrophy is already occurring in the 'hippocampus'," said study author Henneman. "In people who have Alzheimer's disease, loss of nerve cells more scattered throughout the brain."

"The pace of regional atrophy 'hippocampus' is the most powerful indicator of the development of Alzheimer's disease," the researchers concluded the study.

2. Avoid watching in public places

For people who suffer from hypertension, do not watch the game on a crowded public place or places, such as pubs and restaurants, which many people commented haphazardly, smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol.

So, if one of the 2010 World Cup matches should be determined by penalty kicks, then the best way for patients with hypertension is to avoid watching it.

5. Avoid excessive celebration when you win winning team

The World Cup is identical with a massive celebration when the football team predicted can become champions. But for football fans who suffer from hypertension should not do such a celebration.

If a hypertensive dancing naked in the streets, jumping on top of vehicles, scream or cry out for a wild victory celebration, then it is probable that person will be celebrating another victory in the morgue.
