About Diseases

About Diseases There are 2 kinds of diseases: * Physical Diseases * Diseases Life Physical disease Physical illness is a disease that we know a lot already and most people never mengalaminya. This can be obati with the way the medical and traditional / alternative treatment. Diseases Life While the disease is a disease that soul comes from within man himself who caused terganggunya nerve system, so gerik cause movement of the human is not to be controlled or not normal. Attributes that cause many diseases and prey life such as; * Envy (envy) * HAQAD (malicious or hateful) SUUZ-zan (suspected bad) * Haughty (proud) UJUB (feel perfect escape from other people) * Riya (show off the excess) * SUMA (search-search for a name or kemasyuran) * BUKHUL (fisted) * HUBBUL MAL (material) * TAFAHUR (prides itself) * GHADAB (hotspur) * GHIBAH (crab) * NAMINAH (talk behind people) * KIZIB (lie) * Recreancy (Hypocrites) How Cleaning Up 1. Intention is good and true 2. God does not menyekutukan / syirik 3. Beginning prayer time 4. Perbanyak prayer sunah 5. Does not cancel wudhu 6. Perbanyak read Al Quran 7. Perbanyak wirid / zikir 8. Not vain words and deeds 9. Less food 10. Less sleep. Treatment Method Treatment method that is run by Ki Sidhik Pangestu is: 1. Use of Traditional and modern medicine 2. Meditation 3. Pemijatan 4. Fasting 5. Prayer

Cancer

Cancer (medical term: malignant neoplasm) is a class of diseases in which a group of cells display uncontrolled growth (division beyond the normal limits), invasion (intrusion on and destruction of adjacent tissues), and sometimes metastasis (spread to other locations in the body via lymph or blood). These three malignant properties of cancers differentiate them from benign tumors, which are self-limited, do not invade or metastasize. Most cancers form a tumor but some, like leukemia, do not. The branch of medicine concerned with the study, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cancer is oncology.
Cancer may affect people at all ages, even fetuses, but the risk for most varieties increases with age.[1] Cancer causes about 13% of all deaths.[2] According to the American Cancer Society, 7.6 million people died from cancer in the world during 2007.[3] Cancers can affect all animals.
Nearly all cancers are caused by abnormalities in the genetic material of the transformed cells[citation needed]. These abnormalities may be due to the effects of carcinogens, such as tobacco smoke, radiation, chemicals, or infectious agents. Other cancer-promoting genetic abnormalities may be randomly acquired through errors in DNA replication, or are inherited, and thus present in all cells from birth. The heritability of cancers are usually affected by complex interactions between carcinogens and the host's genome. New aspects of the genetics of cancer pathogenesis, such as DNA methylation, and microRNAs are increasingly recognized as important.
Genetic abnormalities found in cancer typically affect two general classes of genes. Cancer-promoting oncogenes are typically activated in cancer cells, giving those cells new properties, such as hyperactive growth and division, protection against programmed cell death, loss of respect for normal tissue boundaries, and the ability to become established in diverse tissue environments. Tumor suppressor genes are then inactivated in cancer cells, resulting in the loss of normal functions in those cells, such as accurate DNA replication, control over the cell cycle, orientation and adhesion within tissues, and interaction with protective cells of the immune system.
Diagnosis usually requires the histologic examination of a tissue biopsy specimen by a pathologist, although the initial indication of malignancy can be symptoms or radiographic imaging abnormalities. Most cancers can be treated and some cured, depending on the specific type, location, and stage. Once diagnosed, cancer is usually treated with a combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. As research develops, treatments are becoming more specific for different varieties of cancer. There has been significant progress in the development of targeted therapy drugs that act specifically on detectable molecular abnormalities in certain tumors, and which minimize damage to normal cells. The prognosis of cancer patients is most influenced by the type of cancer, as well as the stage, or extent of the disease. In addition, histologic grading and the presence of specific molecular markers can also be useful in establishing prognosis, as well as in determining individual treatments.

Let's be part of a rational Medicine

Let's be part of a rational Medicine WHO conference in Nairobi in 1985 already defines a rational treatment as: "Rational use of drugs requires that patients receive medications appropriate to their clinical needs, in doses that meet their own individual requirements for an adequate period of time, and the lowest cost to them and their community." Medicine is not a rational time: (The problem is not rational Medicine) • Using drugs is not indicated when, for example antibiotics for viral infections channel on the breath • Use of the wrong medication for a condition that requires medication, for example tetrasiklin diarrhea in children who require oral fluids rehidrasi • Use of drugs efektifitasnya the doubt or not, for example the use of acute diarrhea in antimotilitas • Use of drugs that clouded the status of security, for example dypirone • failure to provide medication that is safe and effective, examples of failed measles or tetanus vaccination, failed meresepkan oral fluid rehidrasi for acute diarrhea • Use of drugs with the right of way, dose and duration that is not appropriate, examples of the use infus oral metronidazole when sediaan available • Use of drugs is expensive and does not need to, for example third generation antimikroba when the first generation of narrow spectrum available Treatment issues that are not rational world has become a problem because 50% of the world peresepan not appropriate, to provide waste and the cost of the medicine, and put the side effects that drugs can be risks arising for the community. WHO's strategy is to provide the treatment that is not rational. Twelve step is stated as the steps that should be run simultaneously. Rational Use of Medicine's plan to give the WHO on the implementation of rational treatment. Medicine is to promote rational save lives and save money, spring? You can see in these articles. Medicines that do not need to create waste than the state budget and the community, providing the risk of side effects. Then how about the drug racikan? Racikan drug also appeared to be polemic in other countries like the United States. FDA palpable even in states that FDA does not ensure the safety and effectiveness of the drug racikan. Risk Racikan drugs and medicine from the Pharmacy Racikan try menberikan picture from other countries. Dispensation with the recommended guidelines How Making Better Drugs (CPOB) - Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). Factory-made drugs are advised to do this to ensure the quality of drugs, drug use has not been racikan standard. Importance CPOB you can see in the FAQ Seputar CPOB. Let us learn untukmeyakinkan themselves to participate and support the rational treatment, during treatment because it is not rational in any form then the medicine packaging you, it does not remain a rational Sertakah you join with us to promote the rational treatment?

Disease

Terminology
In many cases, the terms disease, disorder, morbidity and illness are used interchangeably.[4] In some situations, specific terms are considered preferable.

[edit] Disease
This term broadly refers to any abnormal condition that impairs normal function. Commonly, this term is used to refer specifically to infectious diseases, which are clinically evident diseases that result from the presence of pathogenic microbial agents, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, multicellular parasites, and aberrant proteins known as prions. An infection that does not produce clinically evident impairment of normal functioning is not considered a disease. Non-infectious diseases are all other diseases, including most forms of cancer, heart disease, and genetic disease

[edit] Illness
Illness and sickness are generally used as synonyms for disease.[5] However, this term is occasionally used to refer specifically to the patient's personal experience of his or her disease.[6][7] In this model, it is possible for a person to be diseased without being ill, (to have an objectively definable, but asymptomatic, medical condition), and to be ill without being diseased (such as when a person perceives a normal experience as a medical condition, or medicalizes a non-disease situation in his or her life). Illness is often not due to infection but a collection of evolved responses, sickness behavior, by the body aids the clearing of infection. Such aspects of illness can include lethargy, depression, anorexia, sleepiness, hyperalgesia, and inability to concentrate.[8][9][10]

[edit] Disorder
In medicine, a disorder is a functional abnormality or disturbance.[11] Medical disorders can be categorized into mental disorders, physical disorders, genetic disorders, behavioral disorders and functional disorders.
The term disorder is often considered more value-neutral and less stigmatizing than the terms disease or illness, and therefore is preferred terminology in some circumstances. In mental health, the term mental disorder is used as a way of acknowledging the complex interaction of biological, social, and psychological factors in psychiatric conditions. However, the term disorder is also used in many other areas of medicine, primarily to identify physical disorders that are not caused by infectious organisms, such as organic brain syndrome.

[edit] Medical condition
A medical condition is a broad term that includes all diseases and disorders, but also includes normal situations, such as pregnancy, that might benefit from medical assistance or have implications for medical treatments.
As it is more value-neutral than terms like disease, it is sometimes preferred by people with these conditions. On the other hand, by emphasizing the medical nature of the condition, this term is sometimes rejected, such as by proponents of the autism rights movement.
Additionally, the term medical condition is used as a synonym for medical state, where it describes a patient's current state, as seen from a medical standpoint. This usage is seen in statements that describe a patient as being "in critical condition", for example.

[edit] Morbidity
Morbidity (from Latin morbidus: sick, unhealthy) refers to a diseased state, disability, or poor health due to any cause.[12] The term may be used to refer to the existence of any form of disease, or to the degree that the health condition affects the patient. Among severely ill patients, the level of morbidity is often measured by ICU scoring systems.
Comorbidity is the simultaneous presence of two medical conditions, such as a person with schizophrenia and substance abuse.
In epidemiology and actuarial science, the term morbidity rate can refer to either the incidence rate, or the prevalence of a disease or medical condition. This measure of sickness is contrasted with the mortality rate of a condition, which is the proportion of people dying during a given time interval.
