Know More Early Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is a tumor that grows in the lungs is mainly derived from cells in the lungs. But lung cancer can also be derived from cancers in other parts of the body that spreads to the lungs. According to Prof. Dr. Faisal Yunus MD, PhD, FCCP, lung disease experts from RS MH Thamrin, lung cancer is the cancer most frequently occurs, both men and women. This cancer is also one major cause of cancer deaths.
More than 90 percent of lung disease originates from bronchitis or airways into the lungs. This could be called karisnoma cancer squamous cell, small cell or karisnoma karisnoma wheat cell, large cell kasrinoma, and adenokarnoma. Karisnoma alveolar cells derived from the alveoli in the lungs. This cancer can be a single growth. But often strike more than one area in the lungs. But not all cancers or tumors that can be found, there are some lung cancers are less common, among others, adenoma, namely cancer, benign, and malignant cancers classified as sarcomas.
Meanwhile, the lymphoma is a cancer of the lymph system which can be derived from the lung or is spread from other organs. Many cancers that originated from other places that spread to the lungs. This cancer usually comes from the breast, colon, prostate, kidney, thyroid, stomach, cervix, rectum, testicles, bones and skin.
Air pollution as a cause of lung cancer, especially adenokarisinoma and alveolar cell carcinoma occur in people who already have lung scarring due to other lung diseases such as tuberculosis and fibrosis.
Some symptoms that can be seen and felt from this lung cancer, among other things, shortness of breath, persistent cough, coughing out blood, chest pain, sighs, fever, and weight loss. Usually these symptoms will arise when end-stage cancer has been stepped on, which means that smokers will not be aware that he had cancer since a young age. Symptoms of lung diseases that often occur among people usually form a long coughing in people who smoke, difficulty breathing, voice changes than usual, and cough for more than two weeks in people who do not smoke.

Heart Disease Tumors
DEFINITIONS
The tumor is an abnormal growth, cancer (malignant, malignant tumors) or non cancerous (Benin, benign).
Tumors of the heart is divided into 2 groups:
# Primary tumor stem from the heart and can occur in any part of the heart tissue
These tumors can be cancerous or non cancerous and rarely in the Rule.
# Secondary tumors: from other parts of the body) (usually the lung, breast, blood and skin, which spread to the heart and is always in the form of malignancy.
Secondary tumors 30-40 times more frequent.
MIKSOMA
Miksoma are benign tumors that form the heart of the rule is not illegal, and density, jelly (gelatin).
50% of the primary tumor miksoma.
75% of miksoma located in the left atrium (chambers of the heart, oxygen-rich blood from the lungs is replaced).
Miksoma in the left atrium is often grown stem cells and can rotate freely to follow the flow of blood as a ball attached by a cable.
In the swing era, the tumor moves in and out of the mitral valve to close. These variations can clog the valve and then open again, so that blood flow stops and turns.
Attacks pulmonary congestion or difficulty breathing, and fainting may occur when a person called by the severity of the tumor depends on and close the valve, these problems can be alleviated by lying down.
A tumor can damage the mitral valve, so that the blood supply, causing losses of noise audible murmur through a stethoscope.
Miksoma or part of a blood clot on the surface may miksoma pause, and then follow the flow of blood and clog arteries. Symptoms depend on the blocked blood vessels.
If the blockage of blood vessels in the brain causes a stroke, while the blockage of blood vessels can cause pain in the lungs and coughing up blood.
Miksoma Other symptoms include:
- Fever
- Weight Loss
- Cold
- Pain in the fingers and toes from the cold (Raynaud’s phenomenon)
- Anemia
- The number of platelets in the blood.
Miksoma left atrium right atrium Miksoma
OTHER primary
Other benign tumors of the heart are much less common is the rhabdomyoma, fibroma and that can be directly extracted from connective tissue cells and heart muscle cells.
Rhabdomyoma occurs in infancy or childhood, usually as tuberus sclerosis.
In general, the surviving children under 1 year.
Symptoms
Cardiac tumors may cause no symptoms or may cause cardiac dysfunction as other diseases of the heart, which can be fatal.
Cardiac dysfunction that can occur are:
- Heart failure occurs suddenly
- Heart rhythm problems that occurs suddenly
- Reduction in blood pressure that occurs suddenly due to bleeding into the pericardium (the lining of the heart).
Diagnosis
Cardiac tumors difficult to diagnose because it happens very rarely, and because the symptoms resemble other diseases.
Suggest a principle, physicians should, therefore, to a heart tumor.
For example, if a person has cancer elsewhere, but complained of symptoms of cardiac dysfunction, suspected cardiac tumor.
Some tests are also used for the diagnosis of cardiac tumors:
1. Echocardiography (cardiac, reflected sound waves through the chest wall)
2. Transesophageal echocardiography (cardiac exams using sound waves reflected from the esophagus)
3. X-ray performed after injection of radioactive material
4. CT and MRI.
If it is determined that the tumor tissue samples with a special tube, the type of tumor and type of treatment will be determined.
TREATMENT
Primary cardiac tumors are usually only nonkanker be removed surgically and the patient can be cured.
The operation was not in the tumor, which takes place over a very large tumors.
The primary and secondary malignant tumors can be cured, symptoms can be overcome.

Cerebral Aneurysma
Is it anerurisma brain?
Brain aneurysm is a disorder of the brain arteries, where there are weaknesses in the arterial lining, forming a bulge or lump-like balloons. Lump artery has a thinner layer compared with normal blood vessels, so that one day may rupture suddenly.
Anyone can suffer aneurysma?
In general strike adults two or more decades. Percentage reaches 5% of all adults. By comparison between the aneurysm rupture (rupture) and aneurysm rupture is not 5:3.
What causes aneurysms?
The main cause of aneurysms is still controversial. However, when compared with normal blood vessels, the aneurysm was found an abnormality of the lining of blood vessels consists of three layers: the layer of the tunica intima, media and adventitia. Aneurysm is thinning at the tunica media and tunica intima becomes more elastic this result in weakness in the blood vessels in the aneurysm so that blood vessels form a bulge under the pressure of the blood vessels. Aneurysm is estimated to cause congenital abnormalities, hypertension, embolism, infection, and trauma.
Aneurysm What symptoms?
Symptoms of aneurysms that have not been broken or intact (unruptur aneurysm) is very rarely found. Therefore difficult to find papa aneurysm patients with aneurysms that were still intact, but was found incidentally during radiology examinations performed for other diseases or during medical check up. Symptoms are felt more often caused due to aneurysm rupture, a severe headache that comes suddenly, convulsions, stiffness in the neck to decrease in consciousness. But some symptoms can be a warning (warning sign) of aneurysms, namely: the paralysis of the foot and hand movements, vision problems, the eyelids can not open all of a sudden, pain in the face, headache, or symptoms resembling the symptoms of a stroke.
How to find or diagnose the aneurysm?
Aneurysms can be diagnosed with certainty by using angiography, the examination of blood vessels using a catheter / tube is inserted into a vein and given a dye (contrast). Can also be found by using CT scan or MRI. The best thing is to angiography.
How aneurysm treatment?
with surgical intervention and intervention radiology techniques, depending on the size, shape and location of a brain aneurysm. Surgical clipping technique, using a pincer clip aneurysms aneurysm neck area. While intervention radiology techniques is to use a balloon catheter and insert or coil which can clog the aneurysm.
How prognosis aneurysms?
The prognosis is an estimate of healing a disease. The prognosis depends on the type of aneurysm, aneurysm (rupture or unruptur), aneurysm shape, location, time and handling time of the patient’s condition treatment (age, clinical symptoms, awareness and the presence of other diseases such as heart). The principle is found faster healing aneurysms have a good chance, therefore, routine medical examination is recommended

Signs and Symptoms of Diabetes (Diabetes mellitus Type 2)
Type 2 diabetes mellitus or commonly known as noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) is a disease caused by diabetes because the body’s defenses, consists of the effects of insulin by pancreatic beta cells. This will cause the blood sugar out of control. Family history of obesity and diabetes, suffered the risk factors for suspicion of this disease.
Insulin is a hormone that is produced by pancreatic beta cells. They vary in normal conditions, insulin levels with the rate of glucose in the blood. The insulin level increased immediately after a meal and leave if you do not eat anything. The main function of insulin, glucose in the blood by the body’s metabolism to produce energy distribution. If you exceed the levels of sugar or glucose, may require that the surplus is stored in the liver. Reduced glucose if need arises, for example, if our bodies are hungry.
When a person suffers from diabetes mellitus type 2, then there are two possibilities, which are produced in the pancreas contains beta cells or insulin phase of production is not sufficient, but the body resistant to insulin. Both circumstances will cause increases in blood sugar.
Fortunately, the body has a very good mechanism to notify us if there is an anomaly. It is important to know the symptoms of type 2 diabetes at an early stage because early treatment undertaken to achieve better results and less hope that the appearance of complications. Here are some of the symptoms of type 2 diabetes must be careful.
Fatigue is the first symptom in patients with type 2 diabetes experience. The patient feels weak, even if your body does not produce all the activities that are not too heavy. So if you’re still tired and sleepy, even before you can not slip or feel that will help you immediately see a doctor.
The drastic weight loss. If you eat too much, your body is fat. Excess body fat causes the body to increase insulin resistance. In people with diabetes, but he ate his food, but not too thick and take care of themselves because the muscles have not received enough energy to grow.
Vision problems. High blood sugar pull fluid into the cell, so cells become wrinkled. This situation also occurs in the eye’s lens when the lens is damaged and the patient will experience vision problems. This would improve visual disorders, if treated properly successful diabetes mellitus. With proper management, these vision problems worsen and lead to blindness.
Frequently infected and, if difficult to heal wounds. This may occur because the bacteria that thrive because of blood sugar. In addition, fungi are also his very dear glucose grow at a high level.
Thus some additional symptoms that view disease, diabetes mellitus type 2.

Recognized Disease Herves
Smallpox disease or so-called ‘Herpes’ by the medical community is a skin inflammatory disease characterized by the formation of bubbles of water in groups. Chickenpox or Herpes diseases have 2 kinds of classes, and Genetalis Herpes Herpes Zoster.
Genetalis herpes is an infection or inflammation (bubble blister) on the skin especially genital (vagina, penis, including dipintu rectal / anus and the buttocks and groin / groin) is caused by herpes simplex virus (VHS), The Herpes Zoster or by another name ‘ shingles’ is a skin infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus that causes bubbles in the liquid almost the entire body.
Herpes zoster infection is also said to the skin disease which is a continuation of the chickenpox (chicken pox) because of a virus that attacks are the same, only there is a difference with chickenpox. Herpes zoster has a characteristic smallpox larger bubbles and clusters in certain parts of the body, can in the back, forehead or chest.
How Smallpox Disease Transmission (Herpes)
In general, all types of herpes can be transmitted through direct contact. However, in herpes zoster, as was the case of smallpox (chickenpox), the process of transmission can be through sneezing, coughing, contaminated clothing and touch up bubbles / blisters that burst. Genital herpes disease (genetalia), transmission occurs through sexual behavior. Herpes genetalis so this disease often suffer from dibagian mouth oral sex. The symptoms will arise in the period 7-21 days after a person is in contact (infected) varicella-zoster virus.
Someone who has had chicken pox and then recovered, the virus is not 100% lost from the body, but hiding in the dorsal ganglion cells sensory nervous system of patients. When the immune system (immune) weakened, the virus will re-attack in the form of herpes zoster which caused symptoms similar to chickenpox disease (chickenpox). For someone who had never had chicken pox, if attacked by varicella-zoster virus is not directly experienced herpes zoster but had chicken pox first.
Signs and Symptoms of Smallpox disease (herpes)
Signs and symptoms caused by the herpes virus attacks in general are fever, chills, shortness of breath, pain or sore dipersendian in one section collapsed, the appearance of reddish spots on the skin that eventually form a bubble liquid. Other complaints that patients are sometimes perceived abdominal pain.
Handling and Treatment Diseases Smallpox (Herpes)
In people with smallpox are the most important thing is to keep the bubble does not burst so that the liquid does not leave a mark and become the entrance for other bacteria (secondary infection), among others, by giving a talcum powder to help lubricate the skin. If the patient can not stand the cold conditions it is recommended not to bathe, because it can lead to shock.
The drugs given to people with smallpox is intended to reduce the symptoms of existing complaints such as pain and fever, such as paracetamol given. Giving Acyclovir tablets (Desciclovir, famciclovir, valacyclovir, and penciclovir) as an antiviral aims to reduce fever, pain, complications and the inability to protect a person from the immune system against the herpes virus. We recommend Acyclovir medication during the emergence of pain or burning feeling on the skin, do not need to wait for the emergence of a bubble of fluid (blisters).
In a serious condition in which someone immune system is very weak, small-pox disease (herpes) should get treatment terapy intravenous (IV) Acyclovir. In an effort to prevent a person should get the varicella-zoster vaccine immunization. In healthy children age 1 – 12 years is given only once. Imunasasi be given once again at puberty to establish immunity to 60% – 80%. After that, to improve it, give immunizations once again as adults. This acquired immunity can last up to 10 years.
