BABY BORN CAUSE LACK OF OXYGEN

cause lack of oxygen
Jakarta, oxygen deficiency in newborns is a serious case. Lack of oxygen will make a late treated cells in the brain dead that could lead to disability and death. Lack of oxygen to the fetus can occur in any pregnancy. So it's important for paramedics to treat infants deprived of oxygen with alacrity. Lack of oxygen can cause serious defects that can destroy the life of the child and family, emotionally and financially draining. Cases of cerebral palsy (brain injury) in infants by 20 percent due to lack of oxygen. As reported by Babycenter, Monday (12/4/2010) There are three causes of infant born to lack of oxygen:
1. Tangled in the umbilical cord or compressed cordUmbilical cord can be twisted or stressed during delivery of the baby-related positions. The umbilical cord is very important because the fetus could receive all the nutrients through these especially the most important is oxygen.If the umbilical cord twisted or compressed during delivery the baby in a dangerous position.
2. Umbilical cord stranglingThis usually happens when the baby is going in down position. Its motion when it comes down sometimes makes his umbilical cord wrapped around his neck. Monitoring during delivery must be careful because if the baby's neck twisted umbilical cord will be difficult to get a supply of oxygen.
3. Position of the baby born on exitIf the birth of the baby sometimes so hard to get stuck in the exit lane when going out. Paramedics had to move quickly so the baby not too long at an exit point for the baby to be deprived of oxygen. Most of the oxygen deficiency occurs because the fetus has not been monitored carefully. If it finds conditions that are difficult doctor will usually perform a cesarean section immediately.
Oxygen deficient infants have signs of:1. Low Apgar scoresImmediately after birth, paramedics will conduct a series of tests to see the response of the baby. The score will be low if the baby is experiencing a lack of oxygen. Apgar score was first found by Dr. Virginia Apgar in 1952 that evaluated the newborn on the 5 criteria with the scale of 0-2, and then summing the five criteria. Apgar score ranges from 0-10. The five criteria are Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, respiration.
2. Seizures in the first 24-48 hours after birth3. Difficulty eating, difficulty sucking and unable to swallow milk.4. Experiencing apnea or breathing stops in some time.5. Difficulty waking from sleep6. Has a low pH indicates too much acid in the umbilical cord due to lack of oxygen.
Long-Term EffectsChildren who experience a lack of oxygen when the baby is usually in infancy will experience learning difficulties, inability to concentrate, problems of balance and body coordination. Autism and epilepsy is also allegedly associated with oxygen deprivation at birth. To avoid oxygen deficiency born babies, mothers should be especially diligent in monitoring the position of the baby before the birth.

Toxoplasma dangerous when attacking a pregnant woman because it can cause keuguran and defects in babies will be born.
The disease is known to be transmitted to humans through cat. But make no mistake, not only cats that can become a medium of transmission.
Toxoplasma can be transmitted through the consumption of raw or undercooked meat, soft-boiled eggs, fruit and vegetables contaminated with animal feces containing the parasite Toxoplasma. In addition, blood transfusion and other organs from someone that contain Toxoplasma.

Epidemiology of Communicable Diseases

Communicable Diseases


Communicable Diseases. Attention to non-communicable diseases is increasing with increasing frequency of disease incidence in the community. WHO divides three main causes of death are:
- Coronary heart disease
- Diarrhea
- Stroke

In Indonesia there is a change of disease patterns from infectious diseases to non-communicable diseases, known as epidemiological transition.

The occurrence of this disease pattern changes can be related to several things, namely:
1.       Changes in the structure of society from agrarian to industrial.
2.   Changes in the structure of the population is decreasing young children and an increasing number of elderly population because of the success of family planning.
3.       Improvements in environmental sanitation to reduce the spread of infectious diseases
4.       The increase due to emancipation of women workers
5.       Improving health services in combating infectious diseases and increasing life expectancy.
More or less non-communicable diseases have in common with the title:
    Chronic Disease
    Non-infectious diseases
    New communicable disease
    Degenerative Diseases


Chronic diseases because of Communicable Diseases are usually chronic, but there is also a continuance sudden eg poisoning
Non-Infectious Diseases  because the causes of non-Communicable Diseases microorganisme, but it does not mean there is no mikroorganisme role in the occurrence of Communicable Diseases.

Degenerative Diseases associated with the process of degeneration / decay.

New comminicable disease can be transmitted through lifestyle, lifestyles can be related to diet, sex lives and global communications.

Characteristics of non-communicable diseases:
1.       Disease transmission is not through a particular transmission chain
2.        Long incubation period
3.       Perlangsungan chronic disease
4.       Many have trouble diagnosis
5.       Having a wide variation
6.       Requires a high cost in efforts to prevent or overcome.
7.       Multikausal contributing factor, even it is not clear.

Examples of non-communicable diseases

    heart disease
    cancer
    metabolic diseases
    Injury and poisoning
    etc
.
Concept of Causal Relationships And Cause-Communicable Diseases
·        Complex causal network → difficult to establish cause or causes of primary or direct cause of a disease, such as the occurrence of a myocardial infarction is caused by many factors interchangeable.
·        If any one health problem has several possible causes of the problem can be attacked from various directions.
The relationship between causal factors and disease can have several forms, namely:

    Single cause / single-effect model
    Multiple cause / single-effect model
    Multiple cause / multiple effect model

Example: heart disease is the leading cause of death with the causal factors that include smoking, hypertension, elevated cholesterol levels, lack of exercise, diabetes, stress and family history.

Communicable Diseases Epidemiology Approach
·        Approach to Non-Communicable Diseases epidemiology different from infectious diseases, ranging from its determination as a matter of Public Health to the prevention and mitigation efforts.
·        Studying Non-Communicable Diseases which perlangsungannya chronic, long latent period has some trouble with just making observations based on personal experience obsevasional from community members only. If the observation was intended to determine the hub between exposure to the occurrence of disease, then some difficulties to be faced.
·        Prevention of Communicable Diseases
Principles of disease prevention is better than cure still goes for Communicable Diseases.

4 The Prevention of Communicable Diseases

Primordial Prevention → intended to provide the conditions in society that allows the disease do not receive basic support from habits, lifestyle and other risk factors. This effort was extremely complex, not only an effort of health but multimitra.
1.     Prevention of the first level, includes:
Public Health Promotion, for example: public awareness campaigns, health promotion, education Public Health. Special prevention, eg prevention ketrpaparan, giving kemopreventif
2.     Prevention of second level, includes:
Early diagnosis, for example by conducting screening.  Treatment, chemotherapy or surgery
3.     The third level of prevention, including:
Rehabilitation, such as nursing home care, hospital care
Non Communicable Diseases Prevention efforts aimed at risk factors that have been identified.
Screening Communicable Diseases
Screening or filtering is an attempt to detect / find people with specific diseases without symptoms in the community or a particular group through a test / examination, which is short and simple to memisahakan they are likely to suffer, to be diagnosed and continued with treatment. Screening is closely associated with the risk factors of Non-Communicable Diseases.
