2. Fish hearing, sardines and the like
3. Eggs
4. Offal; all parts contained in the stomachs of animals: the intestine, liver, heart, tripe, and spleen.


Note: Eating offal will cause excessive work exacerbate processing enzyme in purine hipoksantin.


A. The facts surrounding the uric acid

1. Not all complaints are joint pain and swelling that follows means a person experiencing pain uric acid. To determine whether the person is really sick uric acid, should be sent to the doctor.
2. More often suffered by men, while women are rarely found except in the case after the menopause. Women rarely suffer from gout because it has estrogen hormone that helps the acid through the urine disposal.
3. Drug advertising offers healing of the sick more uric acid disrupt general view of the truth of the disease.
4. Acid crystals (uric acid) produced by the metabolism of purines, a component of nucleic acids present in the nucleus ang body cells.
5. Natural Seara, purine was produced by the body by 85%. So it takes only 15% purine derived from food intake.
6. Foods derived from animals produced greater than purine foods from plants. This resulted in people who like to eat meat more susceptible to contracting the disease gout.
7. Maori tribes have suffered from the disease prevalence of uric acid in the world at large. While in Indonesia, uric acid diseases suffered by people living in the coastal area.


B. Characterization of uric acid diseases

1. Primary gout

The cause of the disease is not known with certainty. Could be a combination of genetic and hormonal factors that result in excessive production of uric acid metabolism so disturbing.

2. Secondary gout

This is caused by eating food that way is not right. People who suffer from secondary gout tend to be careless in choosing food, like eating more meat dish with a potentially increase levels of uric acid in the body.


C. Cause disease Urat acid

1. Blood disease (sunsum bone disease, polycythemia)
2. Use of drugs and alcoholic beverages
3. Obesity / Overweight
4. Diabetes mellitus also potentially have gout disease


D. Uric acid levels in the blood

Recording levels of uric acid in the blood from one laboratory to another laboratory variety. Depending on the condition of the patient's body while doing a blood test. Results are usually available between 1 to 2 days.

1. For men:

3.4 to 7.0 milligrams per deci Liter (mg / dL)
Or 200 to 420 mikromol per Liter (mcmol / L)

2. For women:

2.4 to 6.0 mg / dL
Or 140 to 360 mcmol / L

3. For the children:

1. When an antigen enters the body, automatically throughout the body will make a complex process to identify the foreign object.
2. White blood cells produce specific antibodies against the antigen. This process is called sensitization.
3. Antibodies work by detecting and destroying substance that causes the disease. In allergic reactions, antibodies known as immunoglobulin E, or IgE.


B. These antibodies ruling "mediators" to produce such a substance that can reduce the levels of chemicals and hormones that have antigen.

1. Common mediators known of them is histamine.
2. The mediator has the effect of increasing the activity of white blood cells. This is what allows the following symptoms.
3. If the presence of mediators thats enough, allergic reactions can be said to have ended.


C. Allergic reaction is a uniqueness to us. The body will surely recognize the antigen if at any time to strike back.


D. Trigger various allergies that are recognized by the public:

1. Certain foods, vaccines and pharmaceuticals, rubber-based materials, aspirin, dust, animal fur, and so forth.
2. Bee sting, fire ant bites, penicillin, nuts. Usually the reaction will be incurred excessive and could result in serious allergies all over the body.

E. Allergies are not related to the lineage of the patient. It may be that one family member affected by allergies, while others have never affected.


F. Certain people are easily infected allergic reaction:

1. Have experienced a certain allergy in the past.

2. Corticosteroid nasal sprays. These treatments included in the mouth or through injection. Works quite potent and safe in use, this treatment does not cause side effects. Syringe can be used several days to alleviate allergic reactions, and should be used every day. Example: fluticasone (Flonase), mometasone (nasonex), and triamcinolone (nasacort).


B. For specific allergic reaction. Several types of treatment that can be done to suppress the following symptoms:

1. Epinephrine
2. Antihistamines such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl)
3. Corticosteroids


C. Other treatments can be given if necessary:

1. In particular person, cromolyn sodium spray to prevent allergic rhinitis, inflammation of the nose.
2. Decongestan can eliminate sinus snot. Available in liquid form that is inserted into her mouth and spray. Used only a few days, but there side effects such as raised blood pressure, heart rate is strong, and trembling.

1. Skin test, usually done and the results indicated very satisfactory. Skin tissue will be examined in detail to produce a full report on the health of the patient skin.
2. Blood tests (RAST), commonly known as antibody identification test (IgE) to determine the specifications of antigen.
3. Other tests are done to reduce the allergen in the environment.

Heart Damage Process

Normal liver smooth and rubbery to the touch. When the liver infected with a disease (eg Hepatitis C), the liver becomes swollen. Liver cells begin to remove the enzyme alanine aminotransferase into the blood. With this condition your doctor can tell you if your liver is damaged or not. When the enzyme concentration was higher than normal, it is a sign of broken hearts start. When liver disease develops, changes and increased liver damage.

Fibrosis.
After swelling, the heart tries to improve by establishing a small bekasluk or grated. This scarring is called "fibrosis", which makes the liver more difficult to function. When damage running, the more scar formed and began to merge, in the next stage is called "cirrhosis".

Cirrhosis.
Repeated damage, large areas of damaged liver can become permanent and become sore. Blood can not flow properly in the damaged heart tissue. Hearts began to shrink and become hard. Chronic hepatitis C can cause cirrhosis usually the same as consuming excess alcohol.

Damaged liver function.
As worsen cirrhosis, the liver can not filter out dirt, toxins, and drugs in the blood. Liver was no longer able to produce "clotting factors" to stop the bleeding. Body fluids formed in the abdomen and legs, bleeding in the intestine often occurs, and usually slows mental function. At this point, liver transplant is the only option.

Liver cancer.
Sometimes damage to liver cells followed by gene changes in cells which can become cancerous. Chronic hepatitis C patients have a higher risk for suffering from "hepatocellular carcinoma", a type of liver tumors.
Heart Damage Prevention

Cirrhosis can be stopped and sometimes can be prevented. For chronic hepatitis C patients, is essential to prevent further damage to the liver where sirosi worse. In addition, if you have hepatitis C patients to avoid alcohol completely. Also, do not drink alcohol with acetaminophen (the drug content of headaches and flu), because if taken together may cause conditions "fulminant hepatitis", which can cause liver damage total.

Dengue fever dengue

Is dengue fever?

Dengue fever generally attacks the body's immune decline. Actually when we are exposed to dengue infection, the body will produce immunity against the types of dengue virus, this immunity will last a lifetime. Unfortunately, dengue fever is caused by many strains or types of the virus so that even though we are immune to one type, but we can still suffer from dengue fever from other types of viruses.

Dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue is dengue fever with a more severe degree. The main difference is in the dengue fever was not found in patients with bleeding manifestations. In the skin of patients with dengue fever, red rash just looking around while on dengue hemorrhagic fever patients will look the spots bleeding spots. In addition to bleeding in the skin, dengue haemorrhagic fever sufferers may also experience bleeding from the gums, nose, intestines and more. If not treated immediately, dengue haemorrhagic fever can cause death.

Which areas vulnerable dengue fever?

Contracted dengue fever in many tropical and subtropical regions. Asia ranks first in the number of dengue fever sufferers each year. This is probably due to rainfall in Asia, which is very high, especially in east Asia and south combined with environmental sanitation is not good.

WHO estimates more than 500,000 of 50 million cases of dengue fever requiring hospitalization. More than 40% of the world population living in endemic areas of dengue fever.

How can dengue fever transmission?

Dengue virus is transmitted through the bite of Aedes aegypti mosquito that previously bit an infected person dengue. This mosquito population will increase rapidly during the rainy season but the mosquito Aedes aegypti can live and breed in the tub of water reservoirs throughout the year. One bite of an infected mosquito is able to cause dengue disease in healthy people.

Transmission of dengue fever can not be directly from person to person but should be through an intermediary mosquito so we do not have to worry about direct contact with dengue fever patients.

What are the symptoms and signs of dengue fever?

After being bitten mosquitoes carrying the virus, the incubation period will last between 3 to 15 days until the symptoms of dengue fever appear. Symptoms of dengue fever will be preceded by a feeling of chills, headache, pain when moving eyes and back pain. Pain in limbs and joints will occur several hours after the symptoms of dengue fever began to be felt. Body temperature will rise rapidly to reach 40 degrees Celsius with a normal pulse and blood pressure tends to fall. The eyeball will appear reddish. Redness also appeared on the face that will quickly disappear. Glands in the neck and throat sometimes go bigger.

Fever and other symptoms of dengue fever will last for 2 days followed by a rapid drop in temperature accompanied by the increased sweat production. This temperature decrease period usually lasted a day, then the body temperature will rise again quickly. At present the entire body except the patient will be flushed in the face.

How does the handling of dengue fever patients?

Because dengue fever is caused by a virus, there is no specific treatment for this disease including the use of antibiotics. Treatment of dengue fever are generally intended to address only the symptoms (symptomatic). Rest and adequate fluid intake are two things that are important in dengue fever patients. The use of aspirin and NSAIDs should be avoided. The use of paracetamol, particularly to overcome the symptoms of fever and headache occur.

How the continuation of dengue patients?

Dengue fever will not cause death. Past experience, deaths from dengue fever less than 1% of all cases occur. Improving the condition of the patient will take several weeks.

What about dengue haemorrhagic fever?

Dengue hemorrhagic fever or DHF usually occurs in children under 10 years old. Symptoms include abdominal pain, bleeding, and shock. In the event of shock then often called Hemorrhagic Dengue Shock Syndrome or DSS. Patients with DSS are usually rather difficult to be restored.

Dengue fever begins with a high and a great headache. There are symptoms of respiratory and digestive tract of swallowing pain, cough, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Shock can occur after 2 to 6 days since the symptoms of dengue appear. Symptoms begin with a decrease in shock temperature suddenly, akral cold, pulse weak, and bluish on the lips.

In DHF, there is bleeding into soft tissue, bleeding spots on the skin, vomiting blood, blood in the dirt, bleeding gums and nosebleeds. In some cases pneumonia can occur and inflammation of the lungs to the heart muscle, or myocarditis.

Patients with DHF must monitor closely, especially on the fourth day since the onset of symptoms. If there is bluish or cyanosis the patient should be given oxygen and when there is failure of vascular patients should be infused. Required blood transfusions to control bleeding.

The death rate is very high dengue patients between 3 to 30%. Most of the deaths occur in children.

How to prevent dengue fever?

Virus transmission by mosquitoes must be stopped to prevent dengue fever. To do this the dengue fever patients should be surrounded by mosquito net / mosquito net until the fever subsided.

Dengue fever prevention requires control or eradication of mosquitoes carrying the virus. Perform 3 M (Draining, Closing and Hoarding) where the preferred place for mosquitoes to breed. The role of government is needed as a motivator as well as performing the role of the community.

Until there is currently no vaccine for dengue fever fit, so that only terpadulah prevention can be done.
