Blood Transfusion Effect
Health Care January 8th, 2010
Iron taken into the body that can be produced from food or blood transfusion is often done. Thalassaemia patients at high risk of experiencing these iron deposits.
Prof. DR. Iskandar Wahidiyat, Sp.A (K), Thalassaemia expert FKUI / RSCM said Thalassaemia is a blood disease caused by a lack of production of hemoglobin (red blood cells) caused by the disruption in the chain formation process due to damage to blood cells in the body’s genes.
When someone is having Thalassaemia, they do not have enough healthy blood cells to carry oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body. That’s why they need additional blood transfusions way. Blood transfusions to help them stay healthy by providing blood supply into the body.
When someone does a transfusion, in each bag of blood into the body there are about 200-250mg of iron. In certain amount of this iron will not damage the body, but will help the growth and also regulates hormones, because the body still has a defense that will bind this iron so as not to damage body tissue. This iron will be bound in a single unit called ferritin.
This will release ferritin-iron substances when our bodies need it. Ferritin acts as a shield to prevent the buildup of iron in the body, for example when we feel tired ferritin will release some of his cell to help become strong again. But, when the iron in the body too much, so ferritin can no longer regulate the release of the cell, and there was iron overload or iron excess.
Excess iron can be felt symptoms. Who would feel if someone has excess iron is felt weak, lost weight, bone joints and muscles ached. Iron overload does not cause a person to feel pain, but it will cause the vital organs damaged.
Someone will have iron overload or excess iron after a transfusion of at least 10 times continuously. While people who have anemia or transfusion Thalassaemia must do a minimum of 45 bags of blood a year, and will absorb more iron iron around 9g.
When a person is often a blood transfusion, then the iron will precipitate out of the body parts of some.
Parts of the body will store the excess iron that is:
The heart, an important organ that functions to pump blood around the body.
Heart, large organ that helps to digest the nutrients and neutralize toxins in the blood.
The pancreas, an organ in charge of the body to produce hormones that help digest food.
Thyroid gland, one gland in the body that produce hormones that affect the organs, tissues and cells in the body, such as controlling heart rate, weight, body temperature, energy levels, muscle strength and menstrual regulation.
Pituitary gland, one gland in the body that helps control the body of some processes such as growth control, blood pressure control, control of reproductive functions of men and women and others.
Excess iron can precipitate out in the body tissues, can lead to no operation of these parts. Suppose that iron is accumulated in the heart of someone, then he will be damaged heart tissue. Excess iron is if not addressed, could lead to death. Thus, iron overload or excess iron is very dangerous.

Beyond the threat of Obesity
Health News December 30th, 2009
The latest research work on the University of Essex, England to find the facts; in the last decade, the children in the Essex region increased significantly body weight by 95 percent. Researchers from the university concluded that the factors of low physical activity into the problem.
Lifestyle and lack of physical activity in modern times as more and more has been blamed for more and more children in the Western world, overweight or obese. Some research concluded that ever done it.
In 1998 then, researchers conducted tests on 303 children from six different schools to do the sprint as far as 20 meters. The study was repeated again in 2008, which followed a 10-year-old child. Result, the researchers found surprising conclusions.
Researchers found significant differences, and worrying. Research Team Leader Gavin Sandercock said, the measure of obesity alone is not enough to see the health of children in the future. It requires a monitoring program of physical activity of children.
“We see the present generation is the generation that spent time in front of the television, whether it be computer or TV. Schools should try harder, but the lack of structured activity is a problem, “he said as reported by the Telegraph.
Meanwhile, President of the Faculty of Health University of Essex, Professor Alan Maryon Davis, said the company should pay attention to the physical activity of children, given the focus on treatment of obesity is more linked to chronic conditions such as diabetes and heart disease.
The British Government itself has made various efforts to address the issue of obesity in children, including the campaign “Kick-Started a Lifestyle” is so intensified since earlier this year. Unfortunately, the campaign has not likewise found positive results.
Known, more than nine million children in the age of six years and over are obese. That’s according to a report from Dennis Bier Pediatric Academic Society (PAS). Since 1970, obesity often increases among children, until now the numbers continue to soar doubled in children aged 2-5 years and 12-19 years of age, even tripled in children aged 6-11 years.
Meanwhile, obesity in children has become a serious problem in Indonesia. From research conducted in fourteen major cities in Indonesia, the incidence of obesity in children classified as relatively high, between 10-20 percent with the increasing value until now.
The definition of obesity, according to the Indonesian Pediatric Association (IDAI), is a state of body mass index (BMI) a child who is above the 95th percentile on growth charts developed children according to gender.
Until now, the cause of high rates of obesity in children, especially in Indonesia, is still confusing. Many people are expecting a strong result of the influence of unhealthy snacks with high calorie content, so that children tend to prefer to snack rather than eat at home.
Pediatric research from the University of Indonesia Faculty of Medicine, Dr. RSUPN Cipto Mangunkusumo Damayanti R Sharif SpA (K) shows that obesity often occurs in the older groups like snack. Unfortunately, the scientific explanation of this is still confusing.
Until now doctors have to be satisfied with the predicate “multikausal” as the cause of obesity, it is very multidimensional. Not only occur in socio-economic groups is high, often socio-economic in the medium to lower middle income.
In addition, the scientists also agree that obesity in children tends to occur due to environmental factors than genetic factors. Epidemisnya reason is since the 1970s until the 2000s was a time that is too short to change the genetic structure to cause changes in current patterns of obesity prevalence. Obesity due to familial hyperlipidemia did not lead to a very high rate like this.
What about social factors? Knowledgeable of the medical community that obesity in children has become a serious problem in Indonesia and in the world. Since obesity occurs because imbalans energy, the approach taken is to balance the diet with play or exercise habits.
Thus the complexity of this aim to be achieved, changes made to socially and large-scale. Medical literature that there was no one with the right to include the best way to make changes in this field. In other words, still needs further study in Indonesia about how to prevent obesity early on.
Closing the fast-food restaurants or snack builders discipline in primary schools is not necessarily as easy as turning the palm of the hand. Habits of good must be inculcated in children from an early age. The parents should be disciplined and “heart” to educate school children to walk or ride a bike, rather than be taken to fetch.
Not good for children to comply often eat at fast food restaurants, cultural eating fruits and vegetables should be socialized early, fairy tales before bed is good back story cultivated with Popeye and spinach, or the story of how the process of an egg can be fried chicken with super – thick fat and crispy skin of a typical fast-food restaurant.
No less important is the role of schools to add sports schedules and provide a better medium for children to “play” and exercise. The school also is a key to discipline dozens of merchants who serve foods are not healthy.
It is true that “snack” more accurately classified as a habit, though it was obstructed after all, the kids will still find builders pocket everywhere. Thus, avoiding the campaign must be very regular snack heralded. The scientists actually suggesting the schools to provide 30 minutes of free time per day to perform cardiovascular activities.
