AIDS-Free World in Front of Eyes

Good news for humanity. Scientists propose a radical way to combat the disease, with anti-retroviral drug treatment that can eradicate AIDS within 40 years.

An aggressive program to prescribe anti-retroviral treatment (ART) in HIV-infected everyone, could stop all new infections in five years and finally delete the epidemic. Thus expressed Dr Brian Williams of the Center for Epidemiological Modelling and Analysis in South Africa, yesterday.

Dr Williams is part of the body of experts who believe that the development of anti-HIV drugs is probably the best hope for preventing and even eliminating the spread of AIDS. Instead he rejected the option to wait which was considered an effective vaccine development, or just rely on people to change their sexual lifestyle.

The idea will be tested next year, started a controlled clinical trial involving thousands of people who lived in a section of South Africans with HIV and AIDS incidence is high. Dr Williams said that effort would be followed by similar experiments in the United States, where HIV is rampant in some cities.

"Our fastest expectancy using ART not only to save lives, but also to reduce HIV transmission. I believe if we use an effective antiretroviral drug, can stop the spread of HIV in five years," said Dr Williams.

"ART lets stop the spread of HIV and AIDS, AIDS related sufferers reduce by half in the past 10 years and eliminate the infection within 40 years," he told the American Association for the Advancement of Science in San Diego, California.

Anti-retroviral drugs dramatically lower the concentration of HIV in a person's blood stream, in addition to protecting against AIDS patients. The drug significantly reduce transmission among individuals.

Dr Williams and his supporters believe, if an infected person has enough to be treated, will decrease the infection rate so that the epidemic will die. He believes AIDS can be effectively abolished in the middle of this century.

Female Condoms to Fight the HIV Epidemic

Washington - Although the community had failed to be accepted, re-promoted female condoms in Washingoton DC. Another aim was to reduce HIV/AIDS epidemic.

Charlene Cotton will speak to anyone about sex. Several days a week, he stood behind a table adorned with a bowl of condoms in various flavors and pamphlets on safe sex. He greeted each woman passing by the road, "Come to my desk. Do not be afraid."

She then asked, "Did you hear about female condoms?"

Then, to show how it works, she took a teaching aid in the form of condoms and human anatomy models.

Conversations about this is actually quite awkward to do at the curb. But Cotton is not ashamed. She's part of an effort to promote the city of Washington DC female condom. Hopes, their involvement can help stop the spread of HIV in Washington, which has the highest infection rates in the U.S..

A group of community members also handed out 500 000 female condoms, flexible bag that is larger than the male condom but the same length, during the session of instruction in beauty salons, barbershops, churches and restaurants.

Female condoms sold in some drug stores in Columbia, though less in demand, but Washington is the only city that allows people can obtain condoms women outside the health clinic. City officials began to promote, such as through websites, posters, bus 460 which is the third of the city fleet.

Ad shows a pair of humans who were embraced by a woman holding a condom package. This promotion will last for three months. "With the female condom for her pleasure point. Come on, try it," insisted the ad.

The question is if the promotion took place effectively, it means that the women would use a condom?

This is an important question in Washington.

A study in 2009 found the facts about 3% of the city's population aged over 12 living with HIV or AIDS. It was a severe epidemic, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention HIV/AIDS, which is considered an epidemic 'severe' when more than one percent of the population affected.

Washington DC is not the first city to distribute the female condom. New York City had previously promoted female condoms, to be exact since 1998. A group of people there handing out about 930 000 condoms, few know then.

Do not Do It at the Gym!

Who wants to waste time doing sports that are not effective and full of risk? Certainly not you. So, throw five movements "in vain" and potentially provide the following injury.

1. Using the "lat pull-down" (fitness equipment shaped pulley)
Error: Interestingly in the back of the head.

Only someone who has a very flexible shoulder joints are capable of making their spine straight enough to do this exercise correctly. If we are wrong and do it repeatedly, then the inter-shoulder impingement can no longer inevitable. Or even worse, it could lead to a torn rotator cuff (muscles and tendons that hold the upper arm at the shoulder joint). When the handle of the hand touching the back of the neck bone, this condition can result in injury to the cervical vertebrae (neck vertebrae).

Safer mode: When using the pull-down menu, try leaning the body a few degrees to the rear. Handheld wand over our shoulder width, then bring the stick down in front of the body until parallel to the breastbone. Lower the shoulder blades together. Hold the abdomen to stabilize the body. Lat pull-down tool is useful to train your upper back muscles.

2. When conducting "military press" (lifting weights to train the shoulder muscles)
Error: Lifting in the back of the head.

Habit of lifting weights or barbell at the back of our heads would cause the same problem as that posed by the lat pulldown device if it is done in the back of our heads.

Safe mode: When doing military press, try to lift weights and barbells in front of our heads. Standing with lean weight is not lower than the collarbone, and make sure we keep the upper body upright. This exercise can also be done while sitting, as long as we sat up and put back on the back of the chair. Maintain the natural curve of our spine, and press your back muscles back and buttocks to the chair.

3. When lifting weights
Error: Lifting burden under the chin.

Never load or lifting weights under our chins. Why? This action will push the muscles in the shoulder area.

Safe way: Compared to the appointment up to the chin, better train our shoulders to lift the load toward the front or to the outer side of our body.

4. Doing "lying leg press"
Error: we are too deep knee bend.

When did lying leg press, we'll sit leaned back and put a foot on the board with the ballast. Next, we will press the board to go up and down his back, with the aim of training the muscle quadriceps (front thigh), hamstring (rear thigh), and buttocks. However, there will be a problem when we bend the knee in excess. This condition will injure your back and knees.

Safe way: if we want to do this exercise, then defend our position not to lift your buttocks from the exercise machine. Avoid bending the knee angle exceeding 90 degrees.

The bacteria can ferment the sugar left on the teeth and produce acid compound which lowers the pH of the mouth to less than 5.5. Acid compound layer will erode tooth enamel, forming a hole in the tooth surface.

Xylitol is a positive impact on dental health, because it can inhibit the growth and metabolism of dental plaque formation by the bacteria Streptococcus Mutans. Xylitol is believed to support the process re-mineralization on dental caries. This was stated by Prof. Jason Tanzer, head of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine.

Xylitol is considered as a tooth-friendly sweeteners. It is so called not only because xylitol prevents tooth decay by replacing the role of regular sugar, but also because it can repair minor damage to dental caries. Xylitol can reduce dental plaque otherwise unable to decompose by microorganisms that live in the mouth that cause cavities.

Xylitol is considered as the second greatest invention compounds for dental health after fluoride, as recognized Dr Nigel Carter of the International Dental Health Foundation. Because xylitol is an empty calorie sweetener, Mutans streptococci bacteria can not use it as an energy source, even threaten their survival.

In addition, xylitol can not be fermented acidic compounds are formed so as not to cause tooth decay.

This shows that to reduce the risk of dementia may be one additional benefits to maintain at least moderate physical activity. Even for the eighth decade of life," said study author Dr. Zaldy Tan, from Brigham and Women's Hospital, VA Boston and Harvard Medical School in a news release the Alzheimer's Association.

A second study found an association between vitamin D deficiency and increased risk of cognitive decline and dementia later in life. Researchers in the British Isles analyzed data from 3325 people aged 65 years.

Vitamin D levels were measured based on blood samples from participants and compared with their activity on cognitive function measures. Tests performed included tests of memory, orientation in space and time, and the ability to sustain attention. Those who achieve only 10% were classified as cognitively impaired.

This study also found that the risk of cognitive impairment was 42% higher in people who lack vitamin D. And, 394% higher for those with severe deficiency of vitamin D.

"It seems that the increase in the level of cognitive impairment, lack of vitamin D. This is consistent with the findings of previous European studies. Given that vitamin D deficiency and dementia is a common thing in the world. This is really alarming," said study author David Llewellyn, from the University of Exeter Peninsula Medical School.

Wisely Choosing vaginal lubrication

Many ways can be done to female organs are always moist. You can use a chemical drug, herbal medicine, can also with therapy. But be careful, anyone have any side effects.

Eddy Karta, an expert in skin and venereal disease of Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (RSCM) said, the easiest way is to use a chemical drug. The function of this medicine is moisten the term scientific organ of intercourse or vaginal lubrication.

This form of chemical drugs are of two kinds, gels or creams and tablets. To form a cream or gel, you simply apply it every night for two to three weeks. Miss v smear done until moisture. For any similar form of tablets. You just eat by the rules.

In addition to chemical drugs, you can also use herbal medicines. Many herbal medicines that could keep the female reproductive organs remain smooth and healthy. Examples dong quai root plants, flowers, fennel, or fruit chasteberry.

If you want to have sex, there is also an additional moisturizer on the market that you can use. You just have to find a water-based. "Do not be an oil-based like petroleum jelly because it will actually interfere with the production of natural moisturizing," explained Mulyadi Tedjaprana, health experts Medizone Clinic.

Besides medication, lubrication (lubrication) through the vagina may also be therapeutic. Therapy is commonly used hormone replacement therapy or hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The basic principle of this therapy is to add a hormone in the body so that lubrication can walk naturally.

Discovered, AIDS Vaccine on ODHA Body

RESEARCHER United a step closer to developing a vaccine against the deadly AIDS virus. They found antibodies that can kill 91 percent of the HIV virus.

Scientists have found three powerful antibodies in the cell body of a male African-American gay 60-year-old who was called Donor 45. Even one of them is the antibodies that neutralize more than 91 percent of the HIV virus. The male body makes antibodies naturally. Thus okezone receive from NY Daily News, Monday (07/12/2010).
In the case of 45 donors - the antibody does not save themselves from contracting HIV - researchers filter out approximately 25 million cells to find dozens of cells that later can produce a powerful antibody. Men are most likely already infected with the HIV virus before the body began to produce antibodies. Until now, he is still alive, and has been diagnosed with HIV for 20 years at the time of his blood taken.

Researchers wishing to make a vaccine that will allow everyone to create a body similar antibodies Donor 45. This research is expected to pave the way to make vaccines that are not only effective against the AIDS virus, but also other viral diseases, and has become an important part of AIDS research.

Speaking of the vaccine, Gary Nabel, Vaccine Research Center Director at the National Institute of Allergy and Infections Disease who also led the research said, "It would take hard work. We'll be here for a while (before the vaccine showed a clear benefit)."

Last year, demonstrated the effectiveness of the first HIV vaccine proved disappointing. Following the next vaccine research in Thailand which, according to statistics reached a successful range of up to 30 percent. But, the discovery of this new antibody can produce a more promising treatment.

"Antibodies are attached to the virus that has not changed, and this explains why the virus can neutralize different strains of HIV is deadly," said Dr. John Mascola, one of the researchers.

Prepare antibody discovery became effective HIV vaccine research will be difficult, because researchers must start from an important part of the virus where antibodies attached to it. Then, design a vaccine using the virus to stimulate the body to make antibodies like those found in donor 45.

1. Health risks and physical safety
2. Risk of psychological disorder

Health risks and physical safety

At the time of abortion after an abortion and there are some risks to be faced by a woman, as described in the book? Facts of Life? written by Brian Clowes, PhD, namely:
1. Sudden death due to bleeding
2. Sudden death due to anesthesia failed
3. A slow death due to a serious infection around the content
4. A torn uterus (Uterine Perforation)
5. Damage to the cervix (Cervical Lacerations), which will lead to subsequent defects in children
6. Breast cancer (because of an imbalance of estrogen hormones in women)
7. Ovarian Cancer (Ovarian Cancer)
8. Cervical cancer (Cervical Cancer)
9. Liver cancer (Liver Cancer)
10. Abnormalities in the placenta/placenta (Placenta Previa) which will be the next cause of disability in children and heavy bleeding during the next pregnancy
11. Become sterile or not able to have children again (ectopic Pregnancy)
12. Pelvic infection (Pelvic inflammatory disease)
13. Infection of the lining of the uterus (Endometriosis)

Mental health risks

The process of abortion is not just a process that has high risk in terms of health and safety of a woman physically, but also has a tremendous impact on a woman's mental state.

This phenomenon is known in psychology as? Post-Abortion Syndrome? (Post-Abortion Syndrome) or PAS. These symptoms are recorded in? Psychological Reactions reported After Abortion? in the publication of The Post-Abortion Review (1994).

Basically a woman who had an abortion will experience things like the following:
1. Loss of self-esteem (82%)
2. Screaming (51%)
3. Repeated nightmares about babies (63%)

Female Reproductive Health

Thoughts About the Concept of Women's Reproductive Health

Health development aims to enhance community health status. To achieve a high degree of health, the health of women as recipients, family members and health providers should play a role in the family, so that children grow to adulthood as a healthy young generation. Therefore, women should be given attention because:

1. Women face particular health problems faced by men who are not related to reproductive function

2. Women's health directly affects the health of children conceived and born.

3. Women's health is often forgotten and he was just as objects in the name of "development" as the program of family planning and population control.

4. Women's reproductive health issues have become among Indonesian International agenda agreed on the results of the Conference on reproductive health and population (Beijing and Cairo).

5. Based on the idea of women's health is the most important aspects due to its influence on children's health. Therefore, in women given the freedom to determine what is best suited to their needs by himself where he himself had decided on her own.

Definition of Women's Reproductive Health.

According to the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995 and Koperensi Population and Development in Cairo in 1994 has been agreed regarding the reproductive rights. In this case (Cholil, 1996) concluded that contained four main points in the female reproductive namely:

1. Reproductive and sexual health (reproductive and sexual health)
2. Determination of reproductive decisions (reproductive decision making)
3. Equality of men and women (equality and equity for men and women)
4. Security and sexual reproduction (sexual and reproductive security)

The definition of the meaning of reproductive health that have been accepted internationally, namely: as a state of physical, mental, social, complete in all matters relating to the systems, functions and processes of reproduction. It also noted that production rights based on the recognition of human rights for all couples or individuals to decide freely and responsibly on the number of children, imprisoned children, and to determine their child's birth.

Indicators of Women's Reproductive Health Problems.

In terms of reproductive health in more depth, not merely as an understanding of clinical (medical) but might also include understanding the social (community). The bottom line overall health goal that the quality of life is very good. However, social and economic conditions, especially in developing countries the quality of life and worsening poverty, indirectly also worsen the reproductive health of women.

Indicators of reproductive health problems of women in Indonesia, among others:

1. Gender,
The respective roles of men and women by sex according to different cultures. Gender as a social construction affects the level of health, and because of different gender roles in cross cultural context means the level of women's health also vary.

2. Poverty, among other causes:
* Food that is not enough food or malnutrition
* Inventory is less water, poor sanitation and inadequate housing.
* Not getting good service.
3. Low education.
Poverty affects the chance to get an education. Opportunity for schools is not the same for all but depends on the ability to pay. In difficult situations the cost is usually the boys are preferred because of the man regarded as the main breadwinner in the family. In case this is not just an influential indicator of poverty but also gender also affect on education. This educational level affect the level of health. Educated people usually have a greater understanding of health issues and prevention. Minimal to have an adequate education a person can find holes, taking care of yourself, and participated in taking decisions in family and society.

4. Young Married
In developing countries, including Indonesia, early marriage for women is still a lot going on (usually under the age of 18 years). This is a lot of cultures that consider if you do not get married at a certain age are considered not sell. There is also due to factors of poverty, parents quickly married off her children to escape their responsibilities and handed the child the woman to her husband. This means that young women have a high risk pregnancy at the time of delivery. In addition, the risk of mortality two times greater than women who marry at the age of 20 years. Other impacts, they dropped out of school, will ultimately depend on the husband both in economic and decision making.

5. Malnutrition and poor health.
According to WHO in developing countries including Indonesia estimated 450 million women are not perfect due to malnutrition in childhood, due to poverty. If any affluent, culture determines that the husband and the boys got a lot of servings and the best and last the mother eat the rest of the existing. Menstruating women since he will need more nutrition than men to replace the blood. Substance that is needed is iron that is three times greater than the needs of men. In addition, women also need more iodine than men, this deficiency will cause goiter harmful fetal development both physically and mentally. Women are also very susceptible to several diseases, including sexually transmitted diseases, because of their jobs or their bodies are different from men. One of the vulnerable situation is, that women's work is always associated with water, such as washing, cooking, and so forth. As we all know water is quite dangerous in the medium of transmission of bacterial diseases.

6. Work load is heavy.
Women work far longer than men, various studies have been conducted worldwide on average women work three hours longer. As a result, women have little time to rest, further occurrence of chronic fatigue, stress, and so forth. Women's health not only affected by time.

Cheap Ways Against Cancer and Stroke

Do not take for granted vegetables, bean sprouts or sprouts. Despite the small shapes, such vegetables have compounds that cell renewal is very useful for protecting the body from a stroke, heart attack and cancer. Sprouts contain antioxidant compounds complete with exceptional protection force, especially vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E. However, experts assert, Eat raw bean sprouts in a state, while its substance modifier still intact. Can be eaten as a salad, or drunk as juice. If cooked, pan-fried or steamed better moment. If to be boiled, such as cooked vegetable soups, bean sprouts enter lifted just before cooking. In this way, vitamin C and enzymes that damage is estimated that only 20 percent. If boiled longer, the damage could reach at least 60 percent.

Results of research James Duke, PhD, botanist from the United States Department of Agriculture shows, any kind of good vegetable sprouts, mung bean sprouts, soy sprouts, alfalfa sprouts and other types of sprouts contain a lot of fitokimiawi efficacious compounds. One of them kanavanin, the type of amino acid arginine materials were stored in most alfalfa sprouts. Kanavanin able to stifle the seeds of cancer, leukemia, colon and pancreas. Natural estrogens contained in the same function with estrogensintesis sprouts, but that is without side effects.

Estrogen in the bean sprouts can significantly increase bone density and composition, as well as mencegahrapuh bones (osteoporosis). Diligent eating sprouts help women avoid breast cancer, impending menstruation disorders, complaints hot streak on pramenopause and disorders caused by menopause. When the seeds and nuts that in a seedling, in general, its levels rise 450 per cent saponin, Saponin most commonly found in alfalfa sprouts.

The people with risk of stroke and heart attack caused by soaring blood lipid levels are encouraged to eat more sprouts. Saponin in the sprouts will be poured LDL fats, without disturbing the good HDL fats. After going through a number of experiments on animals, known saponin in the bean sprouts can awaken the immune system, by boosting the activity of natural paralytic cells, especially T-lymphocyte cells and interferon. In addition to DNA loaded, solid sprouts powerful antioxidant substances that fortify the body's cells from free radical destruction of DNA. Double protection strengthens the conclusion that sprouts are vegetables that make us "born again" to be young.

While rich in soy bean sprouts anticancer compound genistein. Different from other anticancer compounds, genistein work more effectively when cancer has started to sprout seeds. Because at that moment that genistein will work actively disrupt the food supply for the cancer cells so they eventually die. However, Duke warned, should women with breast cancer patients who are undergoing treatment with tamoxifen therapy to limit the consumption of sprouts, especially that of crude. Phytoestrogen compounds in Brussels sprouts may reduce tamoxifen work. That is, bean sprouts need only be restricted if we suffer the type of tumor or cancer associated with estrogen.

Woman Shy Talk about Vagina Health

According to a survey of the Association of Reproductive Health Professionals conducted by the Harris Poll, women still feel embarrassed when talking about vaginal health. Sex, breasts, menstrual period is one of the topics surrounding the health of women but the women refused to discuss topics surrounding the tendency of the vagina.
.
In a poll that involved 1117 women aged 18 to 44 years about their attitudes toward women's health related topics found: 73 percent said the topics surrounding the vagina is a topic that surprising, less than half have checked the vagina itself, one in four people do not see the vagina in one year ago, 47 percent said discussions about the vagina should be private, only one in 10 women said that was not ashamed to talk about the vagina, only 14 percent of women said that talking about the vagina undisturbed as well as the men talk about penis.

Meanwhile women surveyed perceived their vagina as a personal matter that their partner or someone else thinks the vagina as something sexy, beautiful or amazing. According to Margaret Thompson, MD, founder of Renaissance Women's Group based in Austin said women needed to be more comfortable with her body, especially when talking about sexual health because the vagina is an important aspect of women's health.

Could 'Swine Flu Risk' Genetic Related?

Jakarta, pandemic influenza A (H1N1) or also known as swine flu worldwide and jerk reminiscent of a similar pandemic in 1918, where millions of people die from flu. Even until today, although there is a trend decline in the number of new cases, this pandemic has not been completed in total.

In the world, as many as 214 countries spread across all continents participate affected, with more than 18.000 deaths (WHO data June 13, 2010). In Asia, the pandemic is still actively circulating in Malaysia and Singapore with the downward trend.

In Indonesia alone, although the June 13, 2010 WHO report mentions the lack of new transmission activities in Indonesia during the month of June 2010, has occurred despite the accumulation of more than 1000 transmission (MOH Report August 23, 2009) with five deaths.

In today's modern society, it is very difficult to completely avoid exposure to the virus A (H1N1). Even restrictions on travel (travel restriction) undoubtedly a benefit as an effective method to stem this pandemic.

Most people would never exposed to this virus, with rates varying exposure. But we do not see relative fantastic figures on the number of people infected. Meanwhile, among people infected with the disease only slightly worse until a crisis stage.

Loius Pasteur, one of the foundation stone of the science of microbiology, admitted that the most important question that can not be answered (in his time) by the infectious disease research is that there is variability in the level of exceptional severity of infection among people infected by the same microorganism.

Today people understand that the difference in the level of variability in the severity of the infection was caused by the difference of one level of immunity. But why does this happen? Why do people have different levels of immune response?

Composition and variation of genetic material is one answer. Our genetic material, with different levels, to determine how much risk you are infected, how severe illness if infected, and even what the most appropriate treatment to prevent the development of disease severity.

This is called genetic susceptibility to infection (genetic susceptibility to infection). Genetic variation can involve only one gene (monogenic), but can also be many genes (polygenic).

Human genetic susceptibility to various infections

Genetic variations that determine differences in susceptibility to infectious diseases such as malaria, HIV / AIDS and tuberculosis has been studied enough.

Best known example is how people with various disorders of red blood cells such as sickle cell disease (sickle-cell disease) and thalassemia have immunity against malaria infection.

25 Percent of Birth Without Medical Aid

More than 25 percent of deliveries carried out without the help of health workers, this contributes to high maternal mortality in Indonesia. This is partly because the number of midwives in the villages are still lacking, so the mothers, especially in remote areas, border and island areas, it is difficult to reach service delivery.

"Delivery of health workers who helped as much as 74.87 percent, still need special attention in order to achieve a target of 90 percent in 2015," said Endang Rahayu Sedyaningsih, in a written speech read by the Secretary General of the Ministry of Health Ratna Rosita after signing an agreement on gender mainstreaming in Jakarta , Wednesday (12/5).

According to data of Maternal Health Directorate Ministry of Health in 2007 the number of registered midwives 53 273 people while the number of existing villages throughout Indonesia for more than 70 thousand. Birth without the help of health professionals involved to contribute to maternal mortality is still high, 228 per 100 thousand live births, according to the Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) Year 2007.

In his opening remarks mentioned, the government tried to reduce maternal mortality to 102 per 100 thousand live births in 2015 to improve access to service delivery by health personnel.

These efforts, among others, was done by multiplying the number of health centers that can provide basic emergency obstetric and neonatal hospital providing comprehensive emergency obstetric neonates.

Health Ministry data shows the year 2007 the number of health centers that category Uncategorized 1290 while the hospital is as much as 183 units. "In addition we also assigned the midwife temporary employees to the area to cover the needs of the village midwife while," he said.

Ina added that the government sent a team of health workers composed of physicians, specialists, midwives and nurses to the health problem areas to quality health services closer to communities, including service delivery. Also enhanced the skills of midwives and midwife facilitated partnerships and shamans.

"Shaman bear hug to partner with a midwife, assisting midwives. They are trained to recognize danger signs of labor and convey information about the problem to the midwife. We are also planning to provide knowledge about breastfeeding and early initiation of breastfeeding to the shamans so they can deliver it to pregnant mothers in their environment , "said Ina Hernawati.

Wood Urip, Broken Bones Connectors

Unique appearance. Does not look like most of the leaves of other plants. He only composed of rod-rod-like bones are green. That's why is called a fracture. Sap had many virtues.

With the trunk and branches are arranged zigzag transverse irregular, broken, almost without leaves, these plants seem quaint and unique. Because of the unique, more people use it as an ornamental plant. However, there is also a deliberately planted for medicinal plant collection.

Wahono, observers medicinal plants that live in Pondok Cabe, Tangerang, claimed to know these fractures plants from the parent. "People used to call it urip wood. Because even though the stem has been broken for the sap is taken, he can still grow, even up to two meters, "he said.

The parts of plants are often used for medicinal bark and sap. Fractures in white sap like milk, containing compounds euphorbone, taraksasterol, alaktucerol, euphol, resins which felt a sharp, astringent gum, and bitter substances.

Wrapped into the skin
The ancient healers use a combination of bark and sap of this plant to treat bone fractures, as noted in note Kloppenburgh Versteegh, Indonesian traditional medicine experts of Dutch nationality. Way, the bark of this plant is finely milled and mixed with oil, then used as boreh in the skin, in areas with broken bones. After that, given the bark of cottonwoods and bandaged.

Today the use of these plants for the case of a broken bone is not unusual anymore. Moreover, there was a more modern treatment methods, such as injection pain and installation of plaster.

Giving borehan plant cottonwoods broken bones and skin only for first aid measures. Usually as a pain reliever and antiseptic.

Nevertheless, as revealed Wahono, sap-green stems of plants can heal wounds such as cut, cut, or hit by flying glass. There are also exploiting the sap to remove warts, or in medical language is called benign tumors.

"It could also reduce the itching in a mole and the results are quite good. For warts, of course only effective if the size is still small or start to grow. If you've already large, would no longer effective. In addition, the treatment should also be routine, at least put two times a day, "he said.

Keep away from eyes
One thing to note when the advantage is to avoid direct contact with the sap of the eye. Gum fractures contain dangerous toxins. When exposed to the eyes, the sap will cause itching and swelling of the eyelids.

If you already contaminated, as first aid, wash the eyes with boiled water, then immediately consult a physician. Relief of late is not impossible that it may cause blindness.

The use of bone fractures as a medicinal plant had faded a few moments. However, it does not mean his name just sank. In many regions in Indonesia, a broken bone is still popular. Some call urip wood, wood susuru, fishing Towo (because of its odd and get a laugh), or Tikel cockscomb.

Now the prestige of Latin plant named Euphorbia tirucalli Linn was sticking out again. Close relative of the ornamental plant Euphorbia millii also started bred back.

Concept Thinking about sex

FIRST AID IN CHILDREN

Panic! That usually happens when Little ill complain. In fact, it could be, the complaint did not show any symptoms of serious illnesses. Recognize that complaints often leveled, and mastered the proper way to handle it.

1. Fever
Fever is not a disease but a symptom of a disease. Fever is one of the conditions that often befall the children. According to Dr. Zakiudin Munasir, SpA (K), a Consultant Child Allergy Immunology, there is a fever that is not dangerous and can heal itself. "But there are also dangerous. For example, high fever or are related to respiratory tract. "That is why, he says, as light as any fever should be addressed immediately.

Immediately measure every time a child with a fever thermometer. Approximately 30-50 percent of the fever caused by infection. The largest is the upper respiratory tract infections (ARI), dengue fever, and typhoid fever. Alert if the temperature of more than 41 degrees Celsius, because it can damage the tissue on the central nervous system (brain).

CLICK - Detailed action taken depending on the type heat. Tolerance limits on a child's body temperature 38 degrees Celsius. First step is to give febrifuge, as he sought the cause of the fever. Wear loose clothes and absorb sweat so that your child does not kegerakan, and place it in the room air circulates well. If the high heat can be aided by warm water compress on the head area, underarms, and groin. "If cold water is compressed by narrowing the blood vessels so that heat can not be removed and detained," said Zaki.

If the heat does not need to be brought down to the doctor, it may be just the common cold due to environmental factors or temperature. Give enough to eat and drink. Bring to a doctor if the fever does not subside after three days treatment itself. For children who have a talent seizure without delay. Immediately take your child to the doctor so the temperature past the normal limit.

2. Flu, Cough, Colds
Cold cough is a disease of the rainy season and transition subscriptions. Coughing caused by a viral infection such as influenza, can heal itself in three to five days. The most important feeding and drinking enough. Do not be provided with food and drinks that stimulate the emergence of a cough. For example, chocolate, instant noodles, ice.

Provision of free cough medicine tailored to the type of his cough. No mucus to cough that is holding were given cough medicine (antitusif). Mucoid cough cough medicine given specifically for slimy. If the cough does not subside after 3 days treated yourself, take it to the doctor immediately.

While the characteristics of the flu are the body's temperature rises, the body feels weak, and headaches. Then, clear the snot out too long from his nose thickens. The disease is rapidly transmitted through air. If the child's condition was not healthy, easy to catch. Equipment provided warm meals and drink enough water, plenty of rest. If not healed well, take it to the doctor.

Try to keep giving your child a lot of drinking. Give warm water, milk, or fruit juice. If the nose is blocked aid by inhaling steam from a basin of warm water.

3. Convulsions
There are many types of seizures. Seizures of short duration is called simple, while that lasted about 15 minutes called complex febrile seizures. The causes varied, such as epilepsy (epilepsy), muscle spasms / cramps, or seizures due to fever.

Because of epileptic seizures occur when the attack occurred. If your child suffered from epilepsy, keep it away from trigger attacks, such as emotional disturbances (stress, tension, anxiety), the light was blinking. If convulsions appear, try the pain gets free air, trying to stop his seizures, since seizures can damage brain cells.

Wedge child's mouth with a spoon wrapped in a cloth, because the condition makes the patient seizure was unconscious so his tongue "falls". "If not elevated, teeth can be broken, his tongue could be bitten, and even break," said Zaki. Then, lay the child on the bed. The important thing to be free of air flow there is no load. Parents who have children often have to provide drug seizures are usually inserted into the rectum.

If the child has the "talent" febrile seizures, ie seizures in children aged 3 months - 5 years was not caused abnormalities in the head or another, be aware when your baby's body temperature to rise above 38 degrees Celsius.

4. Diarrhea and vomiting
Diarrhea is a watery discharge sewage which more often than usual. In a day could be three times or more diarrhea and no shaped aka liquid stools. In fact, can form mucoid fluid or no blood. May be accompanied by vomiting, refusing to drink, limp, eyes look sunken.

Diarrhea can cause dehydration and shock, even death. "First Aid usually replaces the liquid that had come out to give ORS to the child. ORS is the same composition with a liquid that comes out from diarrhea. "Zaki warned, do not give your child medication for adult diarrhea. "It's dangerous, because kumannya detained, not out, could result in worse."

Want to have healthy children, strong and tall? So, make sure that you give birth in summer. Experts estimate, sun exposure in summer in pregnant women strongly supports the baby's health.

The conclusion was based on a study involving 7000 children. The experts believe, the key to health and child growth and development contained in the mother when the pregnancy. The mothers who receive much exposure to sunlight, will give birth to children with strong bones.

In that research team from Bristol University, compared the heights of children aged 10 years. The children were divided into two groups, children born in summer have heights up to half an inch taller and wider bones than peers who were born in the winter.

"The bone width is usually stronger and reduce the risk of osteoporosis in old age. Therefore, all the things that affect bone growth is very important," said professor Jon Tobias, one of the researchers.

Pregnant women, especially in a country of four seasons, it is recommended to a lot of sunbathing in the morning sun, especially during the third tri meter pregnancy to meet the needs of vitamin D. "No need to panic and fear of skin cancer risk because the benefits from the sun more," he said.

HOW TREATMENT HAEMORRHOID or Ambient

Hemorrhoid is a widening of the veins in the plexus hemorroidalis which did not constitute pathological conditions. Hemorrhoid is a submucosal swelling in the anal canal that contain 'venous plexus', the small arteries, and the widened areola tissue.

Hemorrhoid, ambein, or hemorrhoids can be experienced by anyone. However, patients often feel embarrassed or considered not important then the lack of attention to this health disorder. In anatomy hemorrhoid is not a disease, but the physiological changes that occur in blood vessels in the anal pads, such as widening and swelling of blood vessels and surrounding tissue.

These bearings function as a valve / valves that help the muscles in the rectum to hold feces. If there is interference (dams) blood flow, the blood vessels will expand and swell, a condition termed haemorrhoid.

Generally speaking, hemorrhoid divided into two Haemorrhoid Haemorrhoid Internal and external.

1. Internal hemorrhoid,

swelling occurs in the rectum that can not be seen or touched. This type of swelling is painless because there are few nerves in the rectal area. Signs that can be known is bleeding when defecating. The problem is not so simple anymore, if an internal hemorrhoid is enlarged and out onto the lips anus that causes pain. Hemorrhoid seen this pink after recovery can go myself, but it could also be encouraged entry.

2. External haemorrhoid,

attacked the anus, causing pain, burning, and itching. If pushed out by the feces, haemorrhoid can cause clotting (thrombosis), which makes the pile of blue-purple.

Etiology

Increased venous pressure caused by sediment (low-fiber diet) or hemodynamic changes (during pregnancy) causes chronic dilatation of the submucosal venous plexus. Found at 3 o'clock position, 7, and 11 in the anal canal.

In addition Hemorrhoid also due to:

1. Heredity
2. Pregnancy because of hormonal changes
3. Obstipasi (constipation) are chronic.
4. Disease that causes sufferers often push, for example: benign prostate enlargement or prostate kenker, a narrowing of the urinary tract, and frequent childbearing.
5. The emphasis of return flow of venous blood, such as anal cancer, rectal inflammation, narrowing of the anus, the increase in portal vein pressure (in the abdominal cavity), liver cirrhosis type (contract), a weak heart, and spleen were swollen.
6. Many sat.
7. Chronic diarrhea.
8. Stretch. This example happens to someone who likes to have sex is not normal anogenital.

SYMPTOMS

1. Rectal bleeding, blood coming out can be a trickle but can also be streamed, pink blood, patients usually do not feel sick.
2. Sense of propping, after 'defecate' no sensation of taste scotch, these conditions create the impression that the process of 'bowel' is not over, so that someone more powerful push, this action makes more severe hemorrhoid.
3. Itching, because part of that feels pain in the rectum is difficult to clean, the virus will very easily cause skin infections that trigger a itch sense)

HAEMORRHOID IN PREGNANT MOM

This occurs in pregnant women due to pressure on the venous Hemorrhoid fetal growth. Pregnant women are particularly vulnerable to suffer hemorrhoid due to rising levels of pregnancy hormones that weaken vein walls in the anus. Many pregnant women who suffer from hemorrhoid after the sixth month of pregnancy due to an increased venous pressure in the pelvic area.

Some pregnant women also experience hemorrhoid during the delivery process due to the strong pressure of the baby. Complications after giving birth also sparked haemorrhoid. For example, soft vagina and the rectum often cause the mother postpone defecation, thus triggering the occurrence of constipation and hemorrhoids)

Clinical Sign

1. Degrees I: fresh red bleeding without pain and itching.
2. Degrees II: Bleeding, prominence, pain, and repositioning of the cuff.
3. Degrees III: haemorrhage, prominent, very painful, and repositioning of the manual.
4. Degrees IV: Bleeding, bumps and equipment, continuous pain, and can not be repositioned.

DIAGNOSIS

1. Blood in the anus.
2. Prolapse.
3. Uncomfortable feeling in the anus (probably puritus anus).
4. Expenditure mucus.
5. Anemia secondary (maybe).
6. Abnormalities visible on a typical inspection.
7. Typical picture of the anoskopi / rektoskopi)

Examination of hemorrhoids

Before treatment can be done, it needs careful examination.
1. Diagnose or disease history.
2. Physical examination is the inspection and rektaltouche (digital rectal).
3. Inspection with binoculars is anuskopi or Proctoscopy and rektoskopi.
4. Roentgen (inloop colon) and / or colonoscopy.
5. Blood tests, urine, feces as examination penunjang.3)

Prevention of hemorrhoids

There are many things you can do to prevent the recurrence of hemorrhoid recurrence. Among them:

1. Avoid pushing too strong when a bowel movement.
2. Prevent constipation by eating lots of fiber-rich foods (vegetables and fruits and nuts) as well as plenty to drink at least eight glasses of water a day to smooth bowel movements.
3. Immediately to the rear if the intention CHAPTER appear, do not procrastinate before the feces become hard.
4. Eat vegetables and fruits a lot.
5. Reduce consumption of chillies and spicy food.
6. Sleep enough.
7. Do not sit too long.
8. Gymnastics/sports routine

Tip for Sharpen Your Eye Sight !

Eye Health - A healthy and beautiful eyes, what if must be hindered by glasses. Eye disease that has limited visibility quite disturbing. Use of contact lenses were not always good. What should be on consumption to help the vision more clearly?

You may be one person in the eye disorder. Must use a tool if you want to see long distances. Today was no little kids who use glasses to see. Not only because of the age factor alone people use glasses but also because the retina is no longer catch the eye shadow properly.

Damage to the eyes because of the age factor is usually called by AMD or Age-Related Macular Degenariton, or reduced ability to see. AMD began to occur when the macula was damaged retina, causing "blind spots". That the longer it continues to expand and cause you to experience an interruption in the reading, even saw while driving the vehicle. And AMD is one cause of blindness in people aged 60 years and over.

AMD did not close the possibility of attacking them at a much younger age. However, the development of AMD can be prevented or at least slowed by consuming nutrient-rich foods and nutritious. Here are some foods that should be consumed to keep your eyes protected from esophageal AMD:

1. Expand Antioxidants
Today more and more foods that contain antioxidants are always promoted. Antioxidants are very good for the body, in addition to preventing the occurrence of cancer, apparently antioxidants may also slow the rate of growth of AMD. Some foods that contain high vitamin C seprti kiwi fruit, oranges and broccoli, Vitamin E in vegetable oils, nuts, and avocado, and lutein and zeaxanthin, nutrients abundant in dark green vegetables, like spinach. Lutein and zeaxanthin can also act as natural sunglasses, helping to form the pigment 'macula' which filters out most harmful sun rays.

2. Egg Consumption
Egg yolks are also rich in lutein and zeaxanthin, but many people avoid eggs for fear of attack cholesterol. The researchers, led by Thomas Wilson, Ph.D., associate professor with the Center for Health and Disease Research at the University of Massachusetts-Lowell, indicating when people eat eggs regularly, as many as two consecutive days significantly increased levels of lutein and zeaxanthin in circulation in their bodies without increasing LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels. Unless you really have problems with cholesterol levels since the beginning.

3. Choosing foods carefully
Recently, a study involving more than 88 000 participants to prove that consuming fish that contain omega 3 fatty acids such as salmon, sardines, mackarel, herring, it slows the growth rate of AMD than those who did not consume. Omega 3 fatty acids contained in fish is a key component of the optic nerve cells, once described by Elaine Chong, Ph.D., a researcher at the Centre for Eye Research at the University of Melbourne, Australia. Be committed to eating more fatty fish, and do not stop there: shellfish, like mussels and crabs are also quite able to help prevent the development of AMD.


4. Supplement
If you already consume foods that contain nutrients, food supplements and equipment were needed. Nutrients contained in supplements can help reduce the risk of AMD significantly. If you have a tendency try to hit AMD eyes just follow the following formula supplements. Formula supplements are currently being investigated in experimental primary research covering 10 mg lutein (equivalent to approximately three cups of spinach), 2 milligrams of zeaxanthin and one gram total of EPA and DHA (roughly what you get in a 3-ounce servings of salmon). Until further research, there is no advantage exceeding that amount. Remember to take only under medical supervision, even though these supplements are also available on the table, high doses of any nutrient should always be approached with caution.
