Typhoid Fever





Introduction

Typhoid fever, or better known in the community by the name of Typhus, a
cosmopolitan disease or are found all over the world. Typhoid fever
caused by a type of microbe / bacteria called Salmonella typhi. This
disease still often appears in several places, even some areas in
Indonesia is endemic.

The spread of this disease originated from patients or carriers (those
who have recovered from illness but still contained in the excretion of
seeds disease), can contaminate food through, milk, drinks etc..

When a person drinks contaminated water or contaminated food does not
necessarily become ill on that day, but it takes time to breed
salmonella bacteria so that the population is high enough to interfere
with our body's metabolic processes. Period of pause when the entry of
germs into our bodies until the occurrence of disease symptoms is called
the incubation period. The incubation period typhoid fever between 10 -
14 days.

Typhoid Fever Symptom

• increased body temperature as tiered staircase up to 4 or 5 days
• Headache, dizziness
• aches in joints
• Awareness decreases
• appetite loss or decreased
• Sometimes a cough accompanied by
• diarrhea (more common in children)

Disease Diagnosis

Your doctor will usually see the symptoms and do anamnese to the
patient. Because for confirmation rather difficult, when the city is the
laboratory facility will be carried out several tests, among others:

•Test Widal test
• Blood cultures / gal culture

Widal test test laboratory will get the data immediately, while the
blood cultures require 24 - 48 hours and only expressed negative when in
one week the culture was negative.

Herbal Medicine: Diabetes Mellitus (Diabetes)





Plant name: Bungur/Lagerstroemia
Latin name: Lagerstromia speciosa
Family: Litraceae

Disease Diabetes (type -2) was much discussed, there are some already discussed, this time we will discuss about herbal remedies with wooden cortex of Lagestromia Lagerstroemia speciosa

Research conducted by Putu Pramitasari Faculty of Pharmacy Airlangga University (Poster XXXIX) with a rabbit in herbal medicine is proven. Lagerstroemia benefits is to improve the function of the pancreas,

Also has conducted research in Japan by Dr. Yamasaki (Hirosima University School of Medicine), in the study were in there Lagerstroemia plant compound called a Corosolic acid, in herbal medicine research is corosolic acid has functions such as insulin, which activates the change of blood glucose glucogeen into the cell.


Another study to prove the herbal treatment for diabetes mellitus using the compounds of the plant Lagerstroemia conducted by Dr. Judy at Willam at Institute of Biomedical research in Florida was proved corosolic acid significantly lowered blood sugar.

Lagerstroemia wooden cortex is easily consumed by grinding Bungur cortex as herbal medicine by entering into a capsule.

The Development Cycle of Malaria

We begin from the patients in the blood containing the malaria parasite (stage Gametosit micro and macro). Anopheles mosquito (female) to suck the blood of patients and was carried into the stomach gametosit mosquitoes. Micro (male cells) and Makrogametosit (female cells) to mate and form Zygote and migration through the stomach wall to form a Ookinet and sporulation selajutnya form Sporosoit mosquitoes spread throughout the body, especially in the Anopheles mosquito salivary glands. Time required to multiply in the body since the mosquitoes until ready to be transmitted in the salivary glands of about 7 - 14 days (depending on the type of plasmodium and environmental conditions).

Mosquitoes containing sporosoit (infective) in the saliva glands going to bite a healthy person and let sporosoit into the bloodstream and then hide in the liver cells to perform the multiplication and release stage merosoit into the bloodstream and enter cells, red blood cells. Incubation time in the liver cells is about 6 - 8 days.

Merosoit phase Palsmodium cells into red blood cells and will turn into phase trofosoit / ring / ring and Schizont phase. The laboratory will usually identify this phase in the cell, red blood cells. From one merosoit can flourish and broke into 16 to 32 merosoit depending on the type Plasmodiumnya. At the time thousands of red blood cells rupture that we will shiver.

Time since the infective Anopheles mosquito bite until disease symptoms appear (incubation period) of about 9 to 40 days depending on the type of Plasmodium and lingkungannya.Sekitar conditions one week after a person has malaria would be formed and makrogametosit micro phase and this is a phase that can be transmitted to mosquitoes.

* P falciparum from 9 to 14 day incubation period
* P vivax 12 to 17 day incubation period
* P ovale from 12 to 17 day incubation period
* P malariae 18 to 40 day incubation period

On the type of Plasmodium vivax, some merosoit will hide and multiply in the spleen and stay latent for several years. This is what causes a person sick with malaria again despite no longer being bitten by mosquitoes such as ni Anopheles.Keadaan called recurrence or relapse.

On the type of Plasmodium falciparum, can cause cerebral (brain) and symptoms of malaria are so great that often cause the death of the patient. But when you are finished / successful treatment of patients will recover fully and do not relapse.

Plasmodium breeding mosquitoes in the body where there is a process of micro and makrogametosit marriage known sexual cycle, while proliferation in the human body which does not occur is called the marriage a sexual cycle.

Medical Herbs (Leucaena glauca) for Diabetes




We will provide Diabetes Drug potion, which you can try to treat diabetes you are suffering. By using natural materials that are easy to get, we cure diabetes.

China is petai petai flat and smaller than our usual petai vegetables or eating raw Lalapan. Petai china and this is what can we use as the most efficacious drug for diabetics.

How:

Take a few stems petai old china and it was dry on the tree. Peel the skin and remove the seeds - seeds of the Chinese petai.
Provide a skillet, sangai (do not use cooking oil), seeds - china petai beans until cooked. Then tumbuklah until smooth.

If we use this china petai powder regularly every day, so make us recover and avoid the "positive diabetes".

Diabetes; Avoid Starchy Foods Please




Apparently the title is a bit bombastic, but we do not mean eating too much starchy food like rice, noodles and bread. Of course you can eat noodles, bread and rice but not too many in number.

Why should not eat too much flour?
Flour (rice flour, wheat flour, tapioca flour, cornmeal, etc.) should be eaten in limited amounts because the flour is flour-containing Polysacharida / Amylum, which in the broken body soon became Oligosacharida, then became disacharida and eventually became Monoscharisa called Glokusa.

Enzyme that breaks flour (Amylum) Amylase and this is already implemented solutions dimulut.Ensim even since I was called Amylase in the mouth Phtyaline, can we feel when we eat sweet potatoes and chew-chew for a long time will feel sweet.

Flour (POlysacharida) does not seem sweet, but when it's broken down into disacharida (maltose, or lactose sacharosa) or form monosacharida (glucose, fructose and galactose) was new was Manniss!

Indicators for diabetas disease characterized by high glucose in the blood and expelled through the urine. Diabetic urinary containing glucose certainly very interesting ants.

We recommend that people with diabetes reproduce eating fruits and vegetables, because fruit and vegetables more slowly digested into glucose, so blood sugar levels more stable.

In many cases certain illnesses such as ulcers, hypertension, and diabetes hiperkholesterol implement fast and blessings benefit from the fast healing.

In such an ulcer patients during fasting because food decreases the activity of organs working out of the stomach enzyme can relax for a moment and this opportunity is used for regeneration of the organ cells.

The spread of the disease is very similar to dengue fever disease is through vector / disseminator of Aedes aegypti mosquito that lives in the water container that is in / around our house. In the event of an outbreak (Extraordinary Genesis) or increased 2 times or more the case than ordinary circumstances, it will be fogging / Fogging to kill the mosquitoes that infective.

How do the ways to control Aedes aegypti mosquito elimination remember 3M ...

2.Cleans reservoir water once every week (the time eggs hatch Aedes mosquitoes to become adults is between 8 to 12 days

3.Submers old cans, old tires, coconut shell, coconut shell, etc. can be used for rain water bin
