Enterobacter Sakazii is contained bacteria and was widely known as a unique species in 1980. He can be present anywhere, either at home, hospital, playground and baby food manufacturers. E. Sakazii in small quantities in milk and baby food-well, comes from factories or contamination during preparation, usually not membahayakan.minum-milk-formula

The highest risk of bacterial infection exists in the intensive care newborn (neonatal intensive care), because the newborn’s body is still very vulnerable by a variety of infections. E. Potential to cause outbreaks Sakazii enteritis (inflammation of the digestive tract), sepsismeningitis (infection of the lining of the spinal cord and brain) and necrotizing enterocolitis (inflammation of the stomach lining) when neonatal care was not intesive well tersterilisasi.

Other high-risk infant formula occurred in the left too long in a warm room temperature. E. Sakazii breed at a temperature of 37-44 degrees Celsius. Unlike the mother’s milk that contains an antibacterial substance, formula milk is not bakteriostatis (restrain growth and reproduction of bacteria) so easily become a breeding bacteria.

The results of these studies should make us wary. In addition to more selective in choosing dairy products for our children, caution is also needed in the preparation and feeding. To reduce the risk of contamination of formula, do a few tips:

“NKK makes the accumulation of a protein called DNMT1 in the cell nucleus. Furthermore, to make DNMT1 gene into tumor cells,” researchers said in a report published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.

“The next day after practice, whether we feel sluggish or fresh? If fresh, it means we have the right training. Should be reviewed if the sporting bodies to make us sick,” said Dr. Michael Triangto, SpKO, sports medicine experts.

To be safe, we should conduct a medical examination before starting the exercise. If there is no sports specialist, Dr. Michael suggested making their own check list to assess the condition.

“Ask yourself, does a half-hour walk does not make a body weary. If not allowed to add a little lame. Sports is hard pressed not to make the body so as not to burden the heart,” he said.

Dr. Michael warned against sport for fun and achievement is not just a muscle injury. “There is a risk of heart enlargement due to training too hard. This condition is usually found in a number of professional athletes,” said the doctor who was involved in badminton Pelatnas it. Not a mainstay badminton athletes Indonesia have this problem.

Physiologically heavy exercise can make a big heart. This enlargement does not provide specific symptoms or complaints. “At the still active sports, cardiac enlargement was not a problem. The problem is when the future had to stop exercising. Consequently must continue to exercise. If not, this big heart as empty houses unoccupied,” he said

Reality shows, more than half of patients who had a heart attack and stroke have never had clinical complaints such as chest pain or temporary paralysis. So it is with many other diseases such as cancer that are often only discovered at an advanced stage where the chances of a small recovery.

Another advantage offered is the examination performed by a specialist. “If you check the health of Singapore or Malaysia, a pap smear performed by a general practitioner, and here performed by doctors Obgin, as well as with other tests, all conducted expert not only a general practitioner or nurse,” said Yuli.

Meanwhile in RS.Siloam Lippo Village, Tangerang, offering tools latest examination. “We have screening tools such as the latest Dual Source CT Scan of the first in Indonesia and the latest MRI technology,” said Amelia Hendra, Corporate Communication Manager Siloam Hospital Group.

Although both hospitals are offering packages that are relatively expensive, ranging between Rp 700,000 – Rp 13.000.000, but the patients themselves should determine the desired package. “We can adjust according to the budget examination of patients,” said Yuliana.

He added, complete packages or premium at Pondok Indah Hospital is relatively expensive, but according to tests done a very comprehensive and accurate.
