Clinical Manifestation of Polio

The following phases of the virus infection:
 A. Acute Stage
 That phase since the clinical symptoms up to 2 weeks. Characterized by increased body temperature. Sometimes accompanied by headache and vomiting. Paralysis caused by damage to the motor neuron cells in the spinal cord (spinal cord) due to a virus invasion. This paralysis is asymmetrical so it tends to cause a disturbance in body shape (deformity) that persist or even become more severe. Paralysis that occurs mostly in the legs (78.6%), whereas 41.4% in arm. Gradual paralysis lasted until about 2 months after the initial illness.

Therapy of Polio

 

      The management of poliomyelitis Treatment in patients with polio is not specific. Treatment aims to relieve symptoms and supportive treatment to improve the stamina of the patient. Physiotherapy services need to be given to minimize the paralysis and make sure to avoid muscle atrophy. Orthopedic treatments available for those who experience persistent paralysis. The most effective disease control is prevention through vaccination and surveillance of AI P. Do rehabilitation patients to rest and put to bed, allowing the affected limb to be really comfortable. If exposed to the respiratory organs, respiratory physical therapy may be needed.

How to Prevent Polio

Prevention Efforts
 There are some preventive measures this spread of polio, which are:

1. Polio eradication
 World Health Assembly in 1988 which was followed by most countries around the world made an agreement to conduct Polio Eradication (ERAPO) in 2000, meaning that a polio-free world in 2000. ERAPO the first program is to do with the overall immunization coverage.

How Polio Transmited

Poliomyelitis caused by polio virus. One in 200 infections develop into paralysis. A total of 5-10 percent of patients paralyzed, died when his breathing muscles become paralyzed. Mostly affects children under the age of three years (more than 50 percent of cases), but can also affect adults. Prevention by vaccination at regular intervals, ideally in childhood.

Types of Polio

Polio

        Poliomyelitis, or polio, is a paralysis or paralytic disease caused by viruses. Carrier agent, the disease is a virus called poliovirus (PV), enters the body through the mouth, infecting the intestinal tract. The virus can enter the bloodstream and flows into the central nervous system causing muscle weakness and sometimes paralysis.

The word "polio" is derived from [Greek] or its more recent, from the "gray" and "spotting". Polio disease caused by infection with polio virus derived from the genus Enterovirus and the family Picorna viridae. The virus is transmitted through the feces (stool) or throat secretions of infected people. Polio virus entered through saliva causing infection.

Treatment and Therapy of Parkinson's Disease

Governance of Parkinson's disease
Parkinson's disease is a chronic disease that requires treatment in a holistic manner covering various fields. At this time there is no treatment to cure this disease, but treatment and surgery can overcome the symptoms that arise. Individualized treatment of Parkinson's disease and symptomatic, medication is usually given for the treatment of disease or to replace or mimic dopamine which will improve tremor, rigidity, and slowness.

Clinical Symptoms of Parkinson

Clinical symptoms

Although symptoms are presented below not only belong to people with Parkinson's disease, Parkinson's sufferers usually experience it.

Pathophysiology of Parkinson's Disease

pathophysiology

Two hypotheses are referred to as the mechanisms of neuronal degeneration in Parkinson's disease are: the free radical hypothesis and the hypothesis neurotoxins.

1. Free radical hypothesis. Alleged that the enzymatic oxidation of dopamine can damage neurons nigrotriatal, because this process produces hidrogren peroxide and other oxygen radicals. Although there is a protective mechanism to prevent damage from oxidative stress, but at the advanced age of this mechanism may fail.

2. Allegedly neurotoxin hypothesis of one or more kinds of neurotoxic substances play a role in the process of neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease.

Causes of Parkinson's disease

Everybody know who Cassius Clay aka Mohammed Ali is. Yes he was heavyweight boxer champion. In his older age, he get Parkinson's disease. what is parkinson's disease and what are causes of this disease? Modern Shaman from Medical and Health Information will explain.

Guillain Barre Syndrome Therapy and Treatment

In most patients can heal itself. treatment general is symptomatic. Although it is said that this disease can be cured itself, should be considered a long treatment time and number of disability ( sequelae ) high enough so that the treatment should still be given. The goal of therapy particular is to reduce disease severity and speed healing through the immune system ( immunotherapy ).

How To Diagnose and Prognose Guillain Barre Syndrome

After posting about the definition, etiology, and patofisiology, today Mbah Dukun Bagong, original shaman from Indonesia, will explain how to diagnose Guillain Barre Syndrome and how about prognosis. 

1.  Supporting examinations

Guillain Barre Syndrome

Synonims for Guillain Barre Syndrome are : Idiopathic polyneuritis, acute febrile polyneuritis (polineuritis febrile), infective polyneuritis, Post Infectious polyneuritis (polineuritis acute post-infection), acute inflammatory demyelinating (acute toxic polineuritis), Polyradiculoneuropathy, Guillain Barre Strohl Syndrome, Landry Ascending paralysis, and Landry Guillain Barre Syndrome. 

Myasthenia Gravis

DEFINITION


When Mbah Dukun surving on internet, he gets message from Nilla Gustian. Nilla wants information about Myasthenia Gravis.

What is Myasthenia Gravis?
Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is a chronic, autoimmune disease that causes muscle weakness and excessive muscle fatigue. The name comes from Greek and Latin words meaning "grave muscle weakness." But most cases of MG are not as "grave" as the name implies.
The disease can vary in severity and distribution of weakness between individuals, and in any one patient the symptoms fluctuate with relapses and remissions. MG can resolve spontaneously, but for most patients MG persists for life. It can be life threatening, but 90% of patients become symptom-free with modern treatments.
MG produces progressive weakness and fatigue and sporadic abnormal in skeletal muscles, which get worse after exercise and repetition of movement, but can be corrected with drugs antikholineterase.
Usually, this disorder that attacks the muscles controlled by cranial nerves (face, lips, tongue, neck, and throat) but can also attack other muscles.
MG followed the explosion of anger and periodic remissions that can not be predicted. Treatment was not known, but drug therapy can improve symptoms and allow patients to live relatively normal, except during the outburst occurred.
When the disease involves the respiratory system, it can endanger lives.
