Electromyography (EMG): Evaluating Muscle and Nerve Function

rsaw

By: RS Abdi Waluyo What is Electromyography (EMG)? Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic test used to evaluate the health and function of muscles and the nerves that control them. It measures the electrical activity produced by muscles during rest and movement, helping doctors identify disorders affecting the muscles, peripheral nerves, or the connection between nerves Electromyography (EMG): Evaluating Muscle and Nerve Function

Electroencephalography (EEG): Evaluating the Brain’s Electrical Activity

rsaw

By: RS Abdi Waluyo What is Electroencephalography (EEG)? Electroencephalography (EEG) is a non-invasive diagnostic test used to record the electrical activity of the brain. Small electrodes are placed on the scalp to detect and measure the electrical signals produced by brain cells. EEG helps doctors evaluate brain function and supports the diagnosis and monitoring of Electroencephalography (EEG): Evaluating the Brain’s Electrical Activity

Fatty Liver: A “Silent” Disease Increasingly Common in Productive Age

rsaw

By: dr.Vardian Mahardika, M.Biomed, SpPD, AIFO-K Many people are surprised when their medical check-up results show “fatty liver,” even though they previously felt completely fine. This is one of the reasons why the condition is often detected late: fatty liver frequently develops without clear symptoms. In more recent terminology, this condition is referred to as Fatty Liver: A “Silent” Disease Increasingly Common in Productive Age

Before a Marathon, HYROX, or Trail Run: Is Your Body Truly Ready?

rsaw

By: dr.Vardian Mahardika, M.Biomed, SpPD, AIFO-K Endurance and hybrid sports are becoming increasingly popular. Marathon, half marathon, trail run, and HYROX are no longer limited to professional athletes. More and more people are training seriously, setting race goals, and increasing their training load aggressively. This is a positive trend. However, one important aspect is often Before a Marathon, HYROX, or Trail Run: Is Your Body Truly Ready?

Obesity Is More Than Excess Body Weight: Why It Needs to Be Evaluated Early

rsaw

By: dr.Vardian Mahardika, M.Biomed, SpPD, AIFO-K Obesity is still often seen as simply a matter of appearance or poor self-discipline. However, this view is no longer consistent with current medical understanding. The World Health Organization (WHO) now recognizes obesity as a chronic, relapsing disease, meaning it can persist over time, recur, and is influenced by Obesity Is More Than Excess Body Weight: Why It Needs to Be Evaluated Early

Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair (TMVr)

rsaw

By: Abdi Waluyo Hospital Overview What is Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair (TMVr)? Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair (TMVr) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat mitral regurgitation (MR), a condition in which the mitral valve does not close properly, allowing blood to leak backward from the left ventricle into the left atrium. Unlike conventional open-heart Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair (TMVr)
