Posted on Monday, March 15, 2010 by fatur341
The pattern is not only the nutrients needed for balanced growth in children, but it is also important for children who have cancer. In some cancer patients do not find children with feeding problems during treatment. They can still eat enough to get necessary nutrients. However, some patients have trouble eating, thereby losing weight and impaired growth.
According to Drs. Gatot Djajadiman, SP.A (K), children oncologist FKUI / RSCM, if the child is having difficulty eating, should be considered the first cause. "If it is caused by the effects of chemotherapy drugs, usually nauseous reliever medication," said 61-year-old became a doctor. Nausea was frequently occur in patients receiving chemotherapy.
Do not give vitamins
In children with cancer, the provision of food needed to help achieve normal growth and weight gain and prevent the emergence of problems that may occur.
In contrast to healthy children, children of cancer patients is not recommended to consume vitamins. He feared, given vitamins actually taken up by cancer cells. "Cell so greedy, especially leukemia and active," said Dr. Djajadiman.
The milk and food can give enough power. In the book Immunity Foods for Children, Lucy Burney suggested that the main meal and a cocktail party, in small amounts more often to children who are undergoing chemotherapy. These foods should be high in vegetable protein, soluble fiber and essential fatty acids to help balance the nutrients in the body.
On the other hand, children who were treated with steroids tend to have the effect of retaining water, which then gain weight. For children with cancer are diet rich in vegetables and fruits, as it helps remove excess water.
Fatty acids should be avoided. In contrast, children can be given foods containing wheat, fish, soy, nuts, and others. Light snack should consist of fruits and vegetables.
Fiber from fruits and vegetables will help to balance glucose levels in the blood and help eliminate toxins and carcinogens from the body. Entering the broccoli in the diet of a child can also be done, given this plant contains components that are antikarsinogenik.
Foods rich in vitamin C have the effect of improving. Vitamin C is used to make collagen, which strengthens the cell membrane, helping to stop cancer cell division.
Do not force the Food
Parents should ensure that children with cancer get the best nutrients. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital offers the following recommendations:
- Cancer patients tend to eat less food during the treatment cycle, but improve in the cycle. Encourage children to eat more when they are in better condition.
- Sometimes the child is too sick to eat or drink to excess. At that time, tend to offer food or drink he liked. This will help your child add energy.
- Remind children when it comes time to eat, but do not force.
- Provide the food ordered. However, if the food you want you can not get in an hour, do not waste time searching. Generally, a child's appetite has come after this period.
- It's best not force your child to eat, especially youth. Therefore, they tend to do the opposite of what he wants.
- The reason behind the need for good nutrition can be explained to children who are older. They could also be involved in meeting the nutritional requirements as high as possible.

Posted on Sunday, March 14, 2010 by fatur341
The same goes for people who suffer from blood disorders. No serious treatment, a person who has blood disorders do not survive for long. Blood in general, have occurred since childhood, since they arise or are genetic. Despite feeling ill, children generally can not recognize the symptoms in the body. Therefore, the attention of parents should not be lost on children.
"Do not dismiss any complaint of children," said pediatrician Dharmais Cancer Hospital, Edi Setiawan.
Because it can be, complaining the children are the first signs of serious illness. The faster the test, is more likely that the child recovered. If cancer of the blood of children, parents can see the symptoms. For example, he was pale and listless. This made the child lack of red blood cells. Children also have a fever because of infection. "The fever cured if given a drug, but soon the fever again," said Edi.
Other symptoms, such as children who experience bleeding occurred in patients
dengue fever. Bleeding can be a nosebleed, red spots on the skin, and dispose of bloody water.
This occurs because red blood platelets were very low. Leukemia can spread to other body parts like liver, neck, gums, testicles, and bones. "We must take into account whether the child complains of pain in the bones," said Edi.
In blood disorders such as thalassemia and hemophilia, the bleeding can be done by inspection of the mother or father. Tests "The disease is incurable but can be prevented, ie through pre-marital," the child to specialists in hematology Cipta Mangunkusumo Hospital (RSCM), Pustika Amalia Wahidiyat.
Premarital examination is important because thalassemia and hemophilia patients has the potential to reduce disease in future children. Based on the data center thalassemia Jakarta, there were 100 new patients each year thalassemia. The trigger is the lack of awareness among expectant parents to take the exam.
Similarly, patients with hemophilia. Hemophilia is more common in men, boys, girls are the characteristics of the carrier (operator). A woman can give birth to children with hemophilia company. The man with hemophilia who married the woman will give birth to daughters normal company.

Beware of Attack Blood Cancer in Children
Posted on Saturday, March 13, 2010 by fatur341
Call it the name Kayla. In four years of age and is considered bright and easy to get along with people around him. But who would have thought that the disease this guy is gay or a blood cancer leukemia.
Already in the past two years, the disease gnawing his body. "Leukemia is a type of cancer than older children diidap" said pediatrician Dharmais Cancer Hospital, Edi Setiawan Tehuteru.
Today, cancer is not only a scourge only for adults, children are now already attacked the disease. In Indonesia, there were 41,000 cases of childhood cancer per year. And he said, the cases of 10% of child deaths caused by cancer and Indonesia, came from families who could not afford.
In 2008, new cases of childhood cancer in the Cancer Hospital Dharmais
is leukemia (blood cancer) of 16 cases retinobtastoma (eye cancer) in seven cases and seven cases of brain cancer.
The danger, cancer often has no symptoms, that is, if not still at an early stage, many people who do not believe that family members suffering from cancer. In fact, cancer that occurs in children can be cured by early detection or early-stage scat.
However, not all cancers in children could be prevented or detected early. Leukemia, for example, can only be avoided by giving breast milk (ASI), exclusively. And hard to detect, causing leukemia in children is also likely to present. Experts suspect, genetic factors, exposure to chemicals, food preservatives, and the virus triggers a child suffering from leukemia.
Very dangerous to the survival of childhood leukemia. You see, in people with leukemia, white blood cells are abnormal and urged other blood cells. Instead of working as a bastion of the disease, white blood cells that are normally does not destroy blood cells.
Blood
Disorders of blood cells causes not only cancer but also cause other diseases such as thalassemia and hemophilia.
"Many of these blood disorders can lead to anemia or lack of blood,''he said in infantile hematology Cipta Mangunkusumc Hospital (RSCM), Pustika Amalia Wahidiyat.
In patients with thalassemia, fragile red blood cells, so blood can not do their job. "Without treatment, people with thalassemia can only live up to ten years," said Pustika.
Clinically, thalassemia divided into three types, namely, major, intermediate and minor. Thalassemia major patient's body can not form red blood cells so you must get a lifetime of blood transfusions. In general, transfusion perform once or twice a month.
Thalassemia intermedia patients require transfusions, but not as often as the primary victims. Whereas patients with only minor (trait) that does not undergo severe clinical symptoms.
It is also known as hemophilia, blood disease is difficult to freeze. In people with hemophilia, minor injuries will be serious because the blood would be difficult to freeze and pour the terns. Besides the hard frozen blood, hemophilia patients also often experience bleeding under the skin or bruising when doing heavy work.
