Sleep until snoring for most people is not regarded as a problem. Even snoring is associated with deep sleep. In fact, snoring is accompanied by cessation of breathing for a moment could lead to serious health problems such as stroke or heart disease.

Stop breathing during sleep or obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is caused due to the closing of the airway by the network at the top of the nose and throat. Troubling, stopped breathing can occur many times during sleep.

"Stop breathing will make the body lacks oxygen. Since no oxygen normally we would wake up suddenly. Tension blood was immediately rose. These conditions in the long term lead to interference with the heart,"said Dr. Bambang Budi Siswanto, Sp JP in a show titled Sleep Disorders Increase Your Risk of Chronic Disease in Jakarta (27/3/13). The event was held in commemoration of World Sleep Day.

The decrease in blood oxygen levels during sleep sharply it could lead to heart rhythm disturbances and hypertension or elevated blood pressure that is difficult lowered with medication.

"Many patients with hypertension are continually added to lower the dose of the medicine tensinya. Doctors sometimes forget to check whether the patient was experiencing OSA or snoring while sleeping,"said a doctor from the Hospital Cardiovascular Harapan Kita, Jakarta, this.

Chronic hypertension can also cause thickening of the heart muscle and blood coagulation."The risk of stroke is very high,"he added.

According to Dr. Rismawati Tedjasukmana, Sp S, sleep researchers, sleep apnea can strike anyone, ranging from infants to the elderly."In infants are usually caused by abnormal growth of the jaw. While enlarged tonsils in children of school age will also cause snoring,"he said on the same occasion.

In adults, certain conditions can invite sleep apnea, such as obesity."The Role of the largest in the sleep apnea is weight loss., But on the other hand, people who sleep apnea also gained weight more easily,"said Risma.

Sleep disturbance will disrupt the balance of hormones, such as hormones that regulate hunger and satiety. Impaired insulin will also trigger the disease.

"If we are snoring meaning plong not breathing. Therefore should be treated so as not to be complications of the disease,"said Bambang.

Losing weight, quitting smoking, or sleep on his side can do to reduce snoring. In more severe cases, an effective way to overcome sleep apnea is the use of specific tools to provide air pressure to your airway.

Hair tests can be used to analyze whether a person is taking certain chemical substances. However, the function of the hair test was expanded to determine the levels of the stress hormone, cortisol, especially in the elderly. High stress hormones in the body can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.

According to the researchers, the test has a distinctive hair than other tests. Unlike a blood test that gives information stress hormone levels at a time, the hair test can show information over the last few months.

Studies show that elderly people with higher levels of stress hormones are higher in a long time have a greater tendency to have heart disease.

Study author, Dr. Laura Menenschijin of Erasmus Medical Center in the Netherlands, said the stress hormone which increases a risk factor of cardiovascular disease. These factors as influential as high blood pressure or abdominal fat.

"Because the hair test can provide information on how the stress hormone levels change over time, then this test is a better tool for evaluating the risk of heart disease," he said.

The study, published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism analyze hair samples along the 1.2 inch. Samples were obtained from 283 persons aged 65 to 85 years. The researchers then determined the levels of stress hormones during the last three months.

They found that people with high levels of stress hormones are more likely to have a history of coronary heart disease, stroke, peripheral artery disease, and diabetes.

"The data show a clear relationship between stress hormones and cardiovascular disease," said study chairman, Dr. Elisabeth van Rossum, of the Erasmus Medical Center.

He added that the need for additional studies to determine the rules of the stress hormone measurements as an indicator of cardiovascular disease. However, studies have not been able to demonstrate a causal relationship.

Levels of the stress hormone cortisol in obese children is higher than peers who are not obese.

Researchers from the Erasmus MC - Sophia Children's Hospital in the Netherlands reveal the findings published in the journal Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.

Even so, the current research does not explain whether obese children are more prone to stress than children of normal weight peers. This finding is also not clear whether obese children cope with stress in different ways.

The researchers measured cortisol levels in 20 obese children using their hair samples ( 15 women and five men). The same was done on 20 children with normal weight. They are between 8-12 years of age. These children do not suffer from a chronic disease, but three kids obese metabolic syndrome.

Obese children have cortisol concentrations average 25 milligrams pictogram of any head of hair. While normal children, the concentration of each pictogram kortisolnya 17 milligrams of head hair. Cortisol concentrations in the hair samples indicate exposure to cortisol during the month.

" We did not expect to find obese children, at the age of eight, has experienced increased levels of cortisol. By analyzing the head hair of children, we confirm that high cortisol levels persist over time, " said the researcher, Erica van den Akker.

According to the researchers, further research is needed to get the reasons behind the link between stress hormones and these obese children.

Indeed, not all stress is bad. According to the Mayo Clinic, acute stress can also increase alertness and increased cognitive ability. But chronic stress associated with health problems such as weight gain, heart disease, digestive disorders, depression to anxiety.

Measure Levels of Calcium Prevent Heart Attack and Stroke

Blood pressure and cholesterol levels are generally used as an indicator to measure the risk of heart attack and stroke. But according to a new study, measured the levels of calcium in the arteries may be a better indicator.

The study said, the traditional way of measuring the blood pressure and cholesterol can give erroneous results that often patients get unnecessary prescriptions, for example, cholesterol-lowering statin drugs. This means that many people with heart attack and stroke risk low but still taking medications they do not really need.

In contrast, the study said, the savings in the artery calcium detected in CT scans can provide more accurate results. According to the researchers, people with little or no savings calcium in the arteries, heart attack and stroke risk is very small.

Because of the small risk, the researchers argue, these people just need a change of lifestyle advice, but do not need to take medication on a regular basis.

The calcium present in the arteries can lead to calcified plaque. This can result in hardening of the arteries which became one of the triggers of heart attacks.

The findings of a recent study published in the European Heart Journal was believed that calcium scanning adds to the evidence in the blood vessels as a way to predict the risk of heart attack.

The study involved nearly 7,000 participants who had been through the measurement of the risk of a heart attack in the traditional manner with cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and lifestyle. They also underwent artery calcium scanning. Then, they were followed for seven years.

Researchers study Roger Blumenthal, professor of medicine and director of the Johns Hopkins Ciccarone Center said 15 percent of people who otherwise have little risk of heart attack and turns the traditional measurement to get a high score for the content of calcium in the blood vessels. And the result, after followed for seven years, they are high risk.

" On the other hand, 35 percent of participants who expressed a high risk and should be taking drugs such as aspirin and statins do not have calcium in their arteries. They are very small risk result after seven years, " he said.

10 Things Slow Burn Calories Capabilities

lian Friday, December 27, 2013 Add Comment

Basically the human body has its own mechanism to burn intake calories. Each cell in the body has a role to convert food into energy to keep the body's system continues to run well.

The faster your metabolism, the more calories burned. Unfortunately, there are also things that slow down the body's metabolism. This is what makes the calories we eat are not completely converted into energy thereby increasing body fat. So that your metabolism does not slow, then avoid the following 10 Things Slow Burn Calories Capabilities.

1. Irregular eating
A study in 2012 showed that rats fed with an irregular schedule gained weight faster than rats fed on a regular schedule. The researchers suspect, eat at the same time each day will make the body burn more calories in between meals.

2. Eating food contaminated with pesticides
Organochlorine chemicals present in pesticides, can disrupt the body's metabolism so eating food contaminated with pesticides will make us more difficult to lose weight. So make sure the vegetables and fruits are eaten pesticide-free, or at least not always clean the food with the correct procedure before being eaten.

3. lack of sleep
Studies show that people who sleep less have a slower metabolism than those who get enough sleep. The study also found that lack of sleep makes you burn calories as much as when the body is not getting enough sleep.

4. Iron deficiency
Iron helps carry oxygen to the muscles. If the levels of iron in the body is too low, then the muscles will not receive enough oxygen and the metabolism slows down. Therefore, the consumption of iron-rich meal such as beans and dark green vegetables can speed up metabolism.

5. Eating too little
When skip meals, the body becomes starved and automatically slow the rate of metabolism.

6. Sitting too long
Silent in the same position as it sits even just for 20 minutes was able to block the metabolism.

7. jet lag
Time controls the body's biological cells to perform metabolism. When the rhythm is impaired due to different travel time zones that make jet lag, then the function of the cell body was not running properly, including metabolic functions.

8. Not enough calcium
Calcium has a role to regulate fat metabolism. So a diet high in calcium will help burn more fat.

9. dehydration
All cells in the body systems depend on water, including metabolism. If the body is dehydrated, the body to metabolize two percent slower than when hydrated.

10. Skipping breakfast
When we skip breakfast, we tend to overeat at lunch. Yet when skip meals, your metabolism slows down and is not able to burn excessive calories intake at lunch.

The general method of diagnosis of cervical cancer

1.Blade cytologic examination of the cervix ( cervical smear )

Is the primary method for the detection of cervical cancer precursor lesions and early -stage cervical cancer . But have to be careful with the position of the captured material and careful microscopic examination , the false negative rate of 5% ~ could l0 % , therefore , should be combined with clinical conditions and conduct periodic checks as a method for screening .

2.Yodium
tes Serviks or normal squamous epithelium vaginal rich in glycogen , which can be given a brown color after iodine liquid , while the columnar epithelium of the cervix , cervical erosion , and abnormal squamous epithelium ( including squamous metaplasia , dysplasia , carcinoma in situ and invasive carcinoma area ) no glycogen , then colorless . In clinical cervical exposed by vaginal speculum , after wiping mucus surface , applying a solution of iodine , into the cervix and fornix , if found any abnormal areas of iodine - negative , can do a biopsy and pathologic examination for this area .

3.Biopsi cervix and cervical canal
Cervical Pap smear in more than Class Ⅲ ~ Ⅳ , but if negative cervical biopsy , at the intersection of column squamous cervical at point 6 , 9 , 12 and 3 : take a biopsy or four points on the test colorless iodine areas and sites suspected cancer , took some tissue and excisional biopsy or curettage small application endocervical scrapings were sent for pathological examination .

4.Kolposkopi
Colposcopy can not directly diagnose carcinoid tumors , but it can help choose the location of the biopsy to perform a biopsy of the cervix . According to statistics , with the help of colposcopy biopsy , diagnostic accuracy for early cervical cancer can be achieved around 98 % . However , colposcopy is not a substitute for a Pap smear and biopsy , also can not find lesions in the canal cancer serviks.Ahli Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou reminder : cervical cancer diagnosis can help people for the detection of cervical cancer in a timely manner , to avoid delays in cancer treatment cervix .

lian Wednesday, December 25, 2013 Add Comment

A person can not be said to be intelligent only by the value of intelligent quotient ( IQ ) owned. Levels of emotion that determines how he addressing sekelilin conditions, also be an important component of intelligence. This attitude is reflected in the value of emotional quotient ( EQ ​​) owned.

EQ is a high value indicates a person has a good social attitude. That is, he will be the appropriate norms and rules that apply. The opposite occurs in those with low EQ, which indicates antisocial attitudes and self-serving. A person with such an attitude tends to be minimal benefit to the people around him.

The combined value of both IQ and EQ that will produce quality individuals. The individual is expected to maximize the potential for self- advancement and its environment. Certainly not a short trip compile such high quality individuals.

The trip started in mothers planning pregnancy right after getting married. This is manifested in the mother 's commitment to always consume enough nutrients every day, including micronutrients. " Maternal micronutrient consumption not only determine the cognitive, but also behave children. Behavior is then determine whether or not a child of good quality in public life, " said an expert in obstetrics and gynecology, Dr. Dr. Noroyono Wibowo, SpOG ( K ).

Micronutrients, said Noroyono, plays a major role in the preparation of the nervous system is necessary even in small quantities. During pregnancy, the central nervous system is the most early and late formed. For 9 months the mother should ensure adequate consumption of micronutrients include iron, zinc, folate, vitamins, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and copper.

Sufficient micronutrients will result in nerve cells are formed and connected perfectly. In contrast, micronutrient deficiency causes nerve cells are not arranged perfectly. In fact, the quality of the nerve cells is what determines the value of IQ and EQ children.

Noroyono exemplifies the impact of iron deficiency not only causes anemia. Iron deficit resulting in poor connections between nerve cells ( myelinated ). Connective sheath myelinated nerve cell is composed of fat and protein.

Good sheath accelerates the delivery of information between nerve cells to the brain and processed into a response. While the sheath is bad, there are many holes making it difficult for information to the brain. In fact it is not impossible that the information leaked and lost in the middle of the road. As a result there is no response given body.

Sheath bad will result in a slow -minded individuals, not responsive, and difficulty concentrating. " And the response is what determines the quality of children's IQ and EQ. Children with autism do not have myelinated good, because it was not surprising that the response is minimal, " said Noroyono.

Poor micronutrient adequacy facilitate a child affected by psychiatric disorders (psychological disorder ) such as depression, schizophrenia, suicide until an early age.

Unfortunately micronutrient adequacy is still low among pregnant women in Indonesia. Currently, Noroyono said, there are an estimated 2.4 million pregnant women are iron deficient and 60 percent of maternal zinc deficiency. In fact, other than as a constituent of the myelin sheath, iron also arrange energy chain that determines the child stamina throughout his life. While zinc ensure proper functioning of the DNA chain and minimize mutations.

" Micronutrient Deficiencies in fact more severe impact than a low weight, or imperfect organs. Both can be fixed, unlike the nervous system that determines its quality in the future, " said Noroyono.

Honey is not only remind the immune system functioning. Consumption of warm water with lemon and honey it can help women reduce body weight. Routine consumption of these drinks for a week can reduce weight as much as 3 pounds, or the equivalent of 1.4 kilograms.

The community knew him as a diet of honey or honey diet. A British author, Mike McInnes, describes the diet of honey in his book entitled The Honey Diet.

McInnes explained, honey diet starts with drinking warm water fed lemon juice and honey as much as 1-2 tablespoons. Honey in the diet will replace the need sugar in their daily activities. In addition, honey also requires a reduction in dietary intake of simple carbohydrates and replace them with complex carbohydrates. simple carbohydrates found in potatoes, wheat, or rice.

Honey diet also requires the consumption of vegetables as much as possible. Consumption of fruit also should not be too much, because the sugar content in the fruit is replaced honey.

Despite this dissenting opinion expressed nutritionists, Rania Batayneh, MPH, who is also the author of The One One One Diet. " People can call it whatever diet. However for me it is a fad diet, " he said. This is because honey diets require extreme low carbohydrate intake, which was replaced with honey.

In fact, as much as a tablespoon of honey contains 17 grams of carbohydrates. Strict diet with a pattern like that should not be continued. This is because such a diet will only add to the fat content, after all this time is done.

When dieting, usually reduced weight is a combination of muscle and fat. However, when the body weight back up, it is entirely due to fat. Even so, it is not due to the consumption of honey. Honey is full of antioxidants that help boost the immune system.

Rania said, honey should not be viewed as a substitute for sugar foods. With such a perspective, the diet will continue as usual. However, the daily consumption of sugar replaced honey, which is better for health.

Micro - nutrients such as vitamins and minerals - are needed to support the development of the child. However, often the need for micronutrients is not met from the daily diet.

Professor of the Faculty of Human Ecology IPB Hardinsyah Prof. MS said, the impact of micronutrient deficiencies related to child development is long-term. Among these children prone to dwarfism, bone maturation delay, and delay sexual maturity.

To address micronutrient deficiencies, need to fix the pattern of daily food consumption of healthy and varied so as to improve the overall nutritional status of children. In this case the consumption of animal food and vegetables so that the body can help to meet the adequate intake of micronutrients.

Well, one of the micronutrients are minerals are essential nutrients for health maintenance and disease prevention. Minerals are an essential element for the normal functioning of most enzymes and is essential in the control of body fluid composition. Minerals help build enzymes and proteins.

Minerals can be classified into primary minerals ( major ) and minor minerals. Calcium, copper, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and chloride are examples of major minerals, while chromium, magnesium, iodine, iron, fluorine, manganese, selenium and zinc are examples of minor minerals.

Here are the types of minerals important to know and how to meet their needs :

- Calcium
Calcium is a mineral that the body needs most. Approximately 2-3 percent of body weight is calcium, in which 98 percent is stored in the bones and teeth and 1 percent in the blood. Function of calcium for the maintenance of bones and teeth, muscle contraction and relaxation aid, blood clotting, hormone function, secretion of enzymes, vitamin B12 absorption and prevention of kidney stones and heart disease and even development of nerve cells and the brain.

To meet calcium needs, children can be given the best foods sources of calcium in between milk and milk products ( cheese, yogurt, etc. ), eggs, fish, nuts, and dark leafy greens. Milk contains a lot of calcium. Drinking milk on a regular basis to make sure to have strong bones and growing well.

- Iron
Iron plays an important role in the formation of hemoglobin ( red blood cells ) that carry oxygen throughout the body. Then bring the carbon dioxide out of the body. Zinc also supports muscle function, enzymes, protein and energy metabolism. Iron deficiency causes anemia, fatigue, weakness, headaches.

In meeting the needs of iron, the kids can get used to consume foods that are good sources of iron include milk and other dairy products, green leafy vegetables, broccoli, red meat, fish, shellfish, poultry, soybeans, chickpeas, raisins. The body can absorb 20-40 percent iron from animal sources and 5-20 percent iron from plant sources.

- Iodine
This substance serves to set the level of oxidation in every cell in the body tissues are active, regulating the function of nerve and muscle tissue, strengthen muscles, maintain circulatory.
Fulfillment mineral iodine for children can come from a variety of marine products outcomes, such as various types of fish, shellfish, shrimp, squid, seaweed ( including gelatin ). Milk and meat can also be an option.

- Zinc ( zinc )
Zinc is found in all body cells, especially in the skin, nails, hair and eyes.
Zinc plays an important role in DNA and RNA synthesis, production of proteins, insulin and sperm, helps in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, play a role in removing carbon dioxide, accelerating healing, growth, maintenance of body tissues, and supports senses such as smell and taste.

Zinc deficiency causes growth retardation, loss of appetite, slow healing, hair loss,

To meet the needs zinc, the parents can give a child is the source of various types among the best beef, lamb, and poultry, shellfish, crab, lobster, nuts and seeds.

- Selenium
The body needs selenium in small amounts but the benefits are very important to the health of the liver (liver). Selenium is found in vegetables and fruits, meat, fish and nuts, milk and milk products, eggs, milk, chicken, garlic, onion and green vegetables.

- Potassium, Sodium and Chloride
These minerals soluble in the blood and other body fluids. All three of these minerals in the body makes the fluid remains constant. They also play an important role in the transport of glucose into cells, blood pressure, heart rhythm and muscle function. Deficiency of these minerals cause anxiety, irregular heartbeat and vomit.

Sources of these nutrients are found in nearly all foods except oils, fats and sugars.

The benefits of sleep for Brain

The experts from the long time has difficulty to determining benefits of sleep. When asked about the benefits of sleep, then the experts will not know the answer. They only know the consequences if we are deprived of sleep. That's because so far, all the research in the field of sleep can not be directly examined the benefits of sleep. The only way is to examine the effect on a person if his reduced.

When deprived of sleep or suffering from sleeping sickness, a person experiences a decrease in brain functions. In addition, hormonal changes occur that will eventually interfere with organ functions to result in various diseases.

Experts have pointed to a decrease in endurance, increased blood pressure, decreased cardiac function, metabolic disorders, to the most easily seen is a decline in the quality of the skin.

In a further development, some diseases are suspected neurological impairment also exacerbated by lack of sleep or sleeping sickness. Call it Alzheimer's, dementia, or Parkinson 's disease.

system glymphatic

The journal Science published a study that may shed some light on the benefits of sleep directly. This study states that sleep serves as a detox from residual materials unused brain.

Our body has a system to dispose of the remains of the burning of the body unused. The system has had this function. However, the brain has no lymphatic system. The brain has its own system. Blood brain barrier, for example, it serves as a kind of filter materials anything that gets in or out of the brain.

Experts say a system in the brain called glymphatic system, which is taken from the name of glial cells and the lymphatic system. Glial cells have also been known to play a role in the process of disposal of unused substances.

Glymphatic system is known as beta amyloid throw system, a metabolite that is trusted by the experts play a role in the development of Alzheimer's disease.

Go to sleep for Detoks

In theory, during wakefulness, the brain need to work hard as arson. This combustion produces unused junk. Garbage must be disposed of so as not to accumulate and poison the brain. Well, sleeping brain acts to detoxify from these toxic substances.

The experts want to see how the exhaust system works. For that they inject dye in rat cerebrospinal fluid. First with green dye, and these mice were stimulated to fall asleep. After sleeping for half an hour, these mice were injected with red dye.

By comparing the flow of cerebrospinal fluid color, experts can determine how to move fluid in the brain. It was found that the gap between the current cell is just 5 percent compared to waking during sleep. Thus concluded that, during sleep, the brain fluid flowing more profusely.

Compared with brain volume, inter -cell gap is 13-15 percent while awake. As for sleep, this gap widened 22-24 percent of brain volume. Unfortunately, researchers have yet to figure out how this gap could widen. Possibly because the cells that constrict during sleep.

Diseases of neuro-degenerative

Alzheimer 's disease and some diseases caused by other neurological impairment thought to be caused by lack of sleep and the buildup of waste products in the brain. Either because of the production of harmful metabolites or due to excessive exhaust system failure such substances, but the lack of sleep itself is almost certain to lose nerve functions.

All these factors will obviously damage the nerve neurons that eventually lead to dementia or senility.

Of course like other groundbreaking research, this study raises more questions. Hopefully future studies more enlightening about the relationship and disease -bed neuro-degenerative diseases.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that causes AIDS is not immediately show symptoms of infection in humans. Humans, as a victim of the infection, also did not immediately feel the effects of the dangerous virus to her.

Virus takes 5-10 years to cause symptoms. When the time required is met, the AIDS disease has been infecting the patient's body. During this period, there are several stages of infection by HIV and then develop into AIDS.


1. The first phase (the window period)
a. HIV enters the body to form antibodies in the blood.

b. People with HIV look and feel healthy.

c. At this stage, an HIV test can not detect the presence of viruses.

d. This stage lasts for 2 weeks to 6 months.

2. The second phase
a. At this stage of HIV began to develop in the body.

b. HIV tests can detect the presence of the virus because antibodies begin to form.

c. Patient looked healthy for 5-10 years, depending on durability. On average patients survive for 8 years. But in developing countries, the duration is shorter.

3. The third stage
a. At this stage confirmed HIV-positive patients with immune system decreases.

b. Began to appear symptoms of opportunistic infection, such as swelling of the lymph glands or persistent diarrhea.

c. This stage generally lasts for one month, depending on the patient endurance.

4. AIDS
a. At this stage, positive patient with AIDS.

b. The immune system is getting down.

c. Various other diseases (opportunistic infections) causes the condition is getting worse.

At this stage, the patient should be immediately taken to the doctor and undergo viral anti-retroviral therapy (ARV). ARV therapy will control the HIV virus in the body so that the impact of the virus can be suppressed.

Nevertheless, HIV can actually be controlled as early as possible so that it can suppress the onset of AIDS chance. Should do blood checks as early as possible, especially for high risk, such as injecting drug users, often with multiple partners and unprotected sexual intercourse.

THE rarity of someone doing physical activity today is believed to be one cause of the increased incidence of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, lifestyle changes through simple physical activity should be done to reduce mortality from cardiovascular disease.

A study showed that simple physical activity such as walking can have a major impact on health. Researchers say that increasing physical activity by 2,000 steps every day can cut the risk of cardiovascular disease, including stroke.

In other words, changes in lifestyle can have a significant effect on health, regardless of whether a person is obese. In addition, both the impact of physical activity are also felt by people who have never exercised even before.

Therefore, the researchers recommend physical activity such as walking to people who are overweight. In addition, experts say that walking is excellent for parents who may be struggling during the exercise to be healthy.

"The benefits of this activity looks useful activity, regardless of weight or level of intensity in the beginning. Therefore, these findings provide strong evidence of the importance of physical activity in the population at risk,"said Dr.. Thomas Yates of Leicester University, told Express.

In addition, Dr. Thomas said that the research results provide new evidence related to cardiovascular disease. According to him, changes in physical activity levels by increasing the number of steps to substantially reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Scientists find radioactive can be used to destroy the HIV - AIDS virus is hiding in the patient's body, even in the brain.

This approach is part of an effort to cure AIDS. The researchers finally thought to look for ways destroy the HIV - AIDS virus, after 30 years of fighting the deadly virus that is incurable. To this end, the White House and the National Institutes of Health ( NIH ) announced a research as an effort to cure AIDS, with an investment of 100 million dollars.

In previous studies, the researchers never tested by modifying therapies currently used for leukemia patients. The test is performed on the blood of 15 patients with HIV. The researchers found evidence that this modification therapy is able to reach the infected cells. Latent cells is what causes HIV can not be cured. Infected cells is hiding in the body, silent, but when the treatment stops, these cells react back.

Ekaterina Dadachova of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University in New York and colleagues, is working to eradicate this latent cells with cancer therapy called radioimmunotherapy.

Radioimmunotherapy using a monoclonal antibody, an engineered version of the virus the human immune system, which then come into contact with radioactive material, bismuth - 213. These antibodies are designed to recognize HIV, then the infected cells, and deliver lethal radiation HIV virus.

" Radionuclide which we use to deliver radiation only HIV-infected cells without damaging the surrounding tissue, " said Dadachova.

According to him, this therapy is not dangerous because the basic idea of using isotope radioimmunotherapy for HIV -infected cells that can be targeted appropriately.

Based on testing in mice, this therapy is able to eliminate infected cells in the body, at least in cells that could be detected using this method. Because of the demonstrated efficacy in animal testing, a team of researchers then conducted a clinical trial to 15 patients who were undergoing HIV therapy.

In a meeting of the Radiological Society of North America, this therapy revealed Dadachova destroy infected cells were still lodged in the patient's body, even in the brain. Drugs can not even give results like this.

The UN reported that the HIV virus causes AIDS, infects 35 million people worldwide, and causes death in 36 million people.

Until now there is no cure for AIDS, and vaccine did not provide optimal results. Called antiretroviral drug therapy can suppress the virus to the lowest level and much less likely to infect others. Even so, there are still remaining virus. And if the treatment is stopped, the virus appears again. Although, in some relatively rare cases, patients can be cured with this drug therapy.

According to Clyde Crumpacker of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School, Boston, one problem that arises when trying to eradicate HIV is the virus can hide inside cells.

" Some HIV-infected cells fly under the radar of the immune system, " he said.

Antibodies can recognize which cells should be attacked because these cells show little of the protein on the cell surface. But HIV is integrated with cell DNA. And according to experts, this virus can infect cells without showing its presence. So clever as any of antibodies will not be able to find or recognize it.

Therefore, further Crumpacker, Dadachova promising findings need to be tested and more powerful.

Meanwhile, according to Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, these findings are still limited to experimental and has not been tested in humans.

Of that, Dadachova said his team is being asked for permission and seeking funding to conduct testing in patients in South Africa and the United States.

However his condition, the U.S. Congress cut the budget includes some funding medical research. Even so, the NIH is still seeking additional funds for AIDS research.

" Research on AIDS is an example of an area that is progressing from year to year, and always generate new and exciting opportunities, both in the knowledge base would also knilis, so it should continue to be pursued, " said NIH Director Francis Collins.

The phenomenon of resistance of germs to antibiotics is an increasingly alarming re- echoed health experts. Recipes of traditional medicine such as tea and honey prepared as one of the alternative solutions to address the increasingly resistant bacteria to drugs.

Irrational use of antibiotics and over and over again is the biggest cause of a type of bacteria become resistant to drugs. Medical experts call this alarming phenomenon with the term "arms race".

The inability of a drug to overcome bacterial antibiotic is now a scourge after the discovery of antibiotics in the 1940s. The presence of antibiotics could be an effective solution in treating diseases caused by bacteria. However, when the bacteria have become resistant to it, the other alternatives are needed to make the treatment becomes effective again.

Prof. Les Baillie, of Cardiff University in the UK states, is not impossible that the world will return to a time where antibiotics have not been found, so the treatment of a disease becomes a big problem.

Therefore, scientists are seeking to make an alternative sulution when the bacteria have become resistant to antibiotics. Baillie currently heads the research team to find out whether such an ancient medicinal tea and honey can be the next way as the most effective drugs to treat the disease.

Tea is known to contain a compound called polyphenols that have the ability to kill microorganisms.

Baillie led the research team has found that tea is able to treat diseases caused by Clostridium difficile, a bacterium that is responsible for at least 2,000 people were killed and more than 24,000 cases of infection last year.

Rhidian Morgan - Jones, a surgeon from Cardiff, said that there are real concerns about the future of medicine when antibiotics can no longer be used.

Prof. David Livermore, from the Health Protection Agency, last month warned, major surgery and cancer treatment will become more dangerous. The use of antibiotics will likely only be done for the next 10 years.

The development of modern medicine such as intensive care and organ transplants will be under threat without antibiotics. Therefore, immediate replacement is needed antibiotics.

Microsoft researchers designed a smart bra that can detect stress.

Prototype model on display has a sensor to monitor heart activity and skin to give an indication of the mood

The goal is to determine if this technology could be used to prevent overeating due to stress.

The data is sent to the user 's mood bra through a smart phone application to indicate if the "emotional eating" may occur.

The team of visualization and interaction research group put electrical sensors and electro cardio for heart charity for the skin inside the bra.

In a research document, it says a team of scientists use a bra "ideal because they can collect data ECG ( electro cardio, heart rhythm)".

While efforts to create underwear for men with similar functionality are less successful because the location of the sensor is too far away from the heart.

Women who tried the smart bra reported their feelings for six hours a day over a period of four days.

"Users of this prototype bra overwhelmed because the electrical energy in a bra should be recharged every three to four hours," said Microsoft senior research designer, Asta Roseway.

The discovery of the smart bra is evidence that technology features embedded in clothing is now more widely used to monitor health conditions.

Last month, there was even a scientist who developed a bra that is linked to the Twitter social networking media. Twitter account will automatically tweet whenever paired bra wearer to remind women to check the health condition of her breasts.

If you do not have enough time to exercise, it could not hurt to try a type of high - intensity exercise intervals for 7 minutes. Exercise lasted seven minutes is claimed to have high effectiveness because it proved to provide equal benefits to long distance running and weight training.

Besides short, this exercise does not require a lot of tools. You only need a chair, a wall, and little time to spare. However, the researchers warned, though only seven minutes, you should be ready to bear the pain to get maximum benefit.

In addition, for those who have cardiac dysfunction or disease, this practice is not recommended. Very wise before attempting this exercise, you first consult with your doctor to avoid things that are not desirable.

The experts publish this exercise in an article entitled High - Intensity Circuit Training Using Body Weight : Maximum Results With Minimum Investment published American College of Sports Medicine Health & Fitness.

This high intensity workout consists of 12 types of movement can be done in 7 minutes.

" What matters is the intensity of a workout in the movement to make the body more healthy. The higher the intensity, of the time needed to exercise a little more, " said Chris Jordan, director of the Exercise Physiology of the Human Performance Institute in Orlando.

These exercises include several movements such as jumping with legs closed and open ( jumping jacks ), sitting against a wall, push ups, sit ups, squats, up and down the seat, push- ups using a chair upside down, and push- ups spinning.

Previous research proved, the maximum intensity exercise produces changes in the same molecule with several hours of cycling. Changes in muscle molecule is what gives the equivalent effect on the body workout routine a few hours.

Even so, researchers warned to keep doing the rest at each stage. This interval is useful as a recovery period of muscle and body parts are used during training.

To obtain maximum benefit, this very intensive training should follow with very short rest periods in each interval. Jordan said that, every 10 seconds interval is filled break.

In each set of exercises, the muscles are not trained are given time to "catch breath ", so it is important to do the exercises every move sequentially. Each exercise each stage requires a very short time is 30 minutes.

If you want to get the best results, Jordan recognizes this exercise should be done with a lot of power drain and uncomfortable conditions. When created discomfort scale of 1 to 10, it requires that the exercise is done in figure 8. Therefore, seven minutes is very very excruciating for those not familiar.

Most people desire to make more slender as the motivation to exercise. However, a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience shows, sweat-producing activities that one is also useful for enhancing creativity.

Dutch researchers found that people who exercise regularly tend to be better at generating creative thinking. According to them, physical activity improves people's ability to think more flexibly.

However, the researchers emphasized that such effects can only be felt in those who exercise regularly. Chairman Lorenza Colzato research from Leiden University, the Netherlands, said the research team conducted an analysis of the impact of sports on the creativity of two main parts, namely the divergent and convergent thinking.

Divergent thinking is the thinking that produces many solutions to solve a problem. Meanwhile, convergent thinking can produce the best solution to the problem right.

Colzato and his team asked two groups of respondents to test creative thinking. Meanwhile, the group is required to exercise at least four times a week, the other group was asked not to exercise.

Creativity tests conducted by researchers think that writing down the link of the three words that are not interconnected. They found that the group of respondents who exercise have better scores than any other group.

" Physical activity is good for improving the ability to think creatively, as long as done routinely. If not, then the energy that could be used for nearly think it used to move, " he said.

Colzato added, regular exercise is a healthy and inexpensive way to improve cognitive abilities, including creativity.

many people end up choosing a minimalist exercise or high intensity interval training ( HIIT ) is done with a relatively short time. By doing so, we can derive the same benefit even more than spending hours in the gym.

According to Jennifer Cassetta, sport jujitsu black belt trainer, HIIT can help burn more calories. The reason, after exercise your metabolism is still too high so as to burn more calories.

However, because time is short, it takes a maximum effort in doing HIIT to obtain the promised benefits. Here are tips from the experts to get the optimum benefits of HIIT.

1. Start Slowly
Sports briefly just burn more calories than exercise intensity is already high current generally. Then slowly start training can not only help maintain the current energy started to increase the intensity, but also increase the consumption of oxygen after exercise ends which helps burn calories longer.

In addition, start slowly to minimize injuries by preparing the body before entering the high -intensity exercise. But before start of course must be preceded by warm-up and ends with cooling.

2. Set 15 minutes
HIIT is a type of exercise that is appropriate for those who want to lose weight. Not only because it makes the sport more motivated, but also flexible performed at any time, morning, noon, or night. Set 15 minutes of time to do HIIT and promise to give you utmost high intensity without stopping prematurely.

To be effective, we must focus on doing HIIT. So during exercise, make sure there are no distractions such as chatting, television viewing, to check the phone. That way, no time is wasted so that the benefits of HIIT will be increasingly felt.

3. multitask
Versatility allows HIIT to train multiple body parts at once in a single training session. The more variations of movement, HIIT will get better. The experts advise to do squats, push ups, sit ups, and other movements to train the upper body at the same bottom.

We can also combine with the earlier movements of other sports, such as jogging. When jogging for an hour is boring, then combine with HIIT will be a challenge. For example, after 15 minutes of jogging, connect with one session of push ups or sit ups, jogging back and continue.

As well, do not let out the desires of the body to rest in the middle of doing HIIT. Remember, this is only 15 minutes, so let your body adjust to the rhythm of the exercise. We can start HIIT 2-3 times a week, once familiar, even every day.

Low sexual desire in men? Pay attention to the levels of the hormone prolactin.

Prolactin was not only instrumental in women. Men are also affected by the influence of the hormone, which stimulates breast development and milk production in women. Prolactin is produced in the pituitary gland located below the brain.

The study found that men with low levels of the hormone prolactin has a general and sexual health poor. Turns prolactin plays a role in providing sexual satisfaction for the body. These hormones work together with the role of dopamine in the onset of sexual desire.

In the study, researchers involved 3,000 European men aged 40-79 years. They underwent tests to determine levels of testosterone, prolactin, cholesterol, and blood sugar. They also underwent measurements of body mass index ( BMI ).

In the final stage, the respondents answered questions about sexual and general health. Including whether respondents consuming alcohol and smoking. Research results published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.

The result, according to LiveScience reports, men who have low levels of prolactin have poor sexual and psychological health. Men who had prolactin levels below average, tend to experience depression, poor sexual function, and do not enjoy orgasms. Men also tend to be healthier in general, indicated a high BMI, blood sugar, and low physical activity.

The results of this study conflict with the allegations of the results of previous research on the function of prolactin. In this research, high levels of prolactin inhibit sexual desire and performance.

In fact, high levels of prolactin which tends to have a positive effect than negative in maintaining male sexual desire. This research demonstrated in mice that using drugs to increase levels of prolactin. As a result, the increase in prolactin encourages sexual desire in mice. Still not known how prolactin affects sexual function in men.

Terrkait low production of prolactin, a theory is, it is associated with poor health in general, men who consumed alcohol and smoking. The low prolactin signal then becomes reduced production of other hormones that affect sexual desire.

Noteworthy, although there is no research, hormones that affect a man's sexual desire, it is also associated with the production of breast milk in women. Low levels of the hormone prolactin potentially lower milk production.

The most efficient way to inhibit the progression of HIV infection is the use of anti-retroviral drugs (ARVs). Even so, a study from Africa indicate, the consumption of multivitamins and supplements of selenium also has a good ability to reduce the risk in those who had not undergone antiretroviral treatment.

According to the study, multivitamins and selenium may have an effect on people living with HIV (PLHIV) for two years. It remains unclear whether these effects could occur in a longer period.

It is also related to the study participants were limited to PLHIV in Africa who have not received antiretroviral treatment. Meanwhile, in developed countries like the United States, once a person is diagnosed HIV positive, antiretroviral treatment was started immediately.

Dr. Jared Baeten, professor of global health at the University of Washington USA said, these findings are very useful as a new strategy of delaying the progression of HIV. Because not all people diagnosed HIV-positive, or would soon be able to start ARV treatment.

Chairman studies Marianna Baum, professor of diet and nutrusi at Florida International University's School of Public Health Stempel said, previous studies showed, PLHIV who have a healthy diet can not properly process the nutrients from food. Thus, supplementation can be beneficial for them?

Baum noted, no one has previously examined how the immune system is improved with a multivitamin while they have not yet started antiretroviral treatment. Baum and his team also performed an analysis of 900 PLHIV in Africa. Most of those given placebo, partly given multivitamins containing vitamins B, C, and E. The other group was given a multivitamin and selenium supplements, and some are only given selenium supplements.

The study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association that found that there is no treatment that provides a meaningful impact on the immune PLHIV except in the group given the combination of multivitamin and selenium supplements. Even after statistically analyzed based to include other factors, the conclusion remains the same.

Compared to the placebo group, PLHIV who were given a combination of multivitamin and selenium had a 50 percent lower risk for entry into the AIDS stage after two years. Baum has not received information about the price of multivitamins and supplements of selenium, but the estimated price is relatively cheap and does not cause side effects.

According to Baum, multivitamins can strengthen the immune system, while providing mineral intake of selenium supplements that suppress the growth of the virus. "Remember, not smbarang vitamins can increase endurance PLHIV, in combination with selenium is the most effective," he said.

In addition, Baum also emphasizes the study goal is not to reduce the need for antiretroviral treatment. According to him, antiretroviral drugs are still the gold standard to reduce the amount of virus.

Going forward, the research team will conduct further experiments to see the effectiveness of multivitamins and supplements of selenium against PLHIV who had received antiretroviral treatment.

Sport has the benefit of being able to increase the metabolism so as to burn more calories in the body. However, intake of energy to perform exercise movements are also not to be missed.

Sports requires energy, let alone the type of exercise you do is strenuous exercise. To obtain optimal energy during exercise, you need to eat beforehand.

Energy does not actually have to be food. The body has a reserve of energy called glycogen. When required, glycogen is converted into energy. That is why some people can exercise without eating beforehand.

Eating before exercise is an action to get extra energy so that one can exercise better. However, not all food is good to eaten before exercise. Should choose low in fat and high protein foods. And eat two to three hours before the start of exercise or one hour if only eat small portions.

After the exercise was not to say you do not need anymore energy. Exercise burns glycogen which is the "content " of the muscle. So after that, you should immediately replace it with proper food intake.

According to JJ Vigrin, nutrition and fitness experts from the United States, eating after exercise is important for muscle repair process called back or muscle protein synthesis. The body requires the intake of carbohydrates to replenish muscle energy and protein to help rebuild muscles.

" The first hour after exercise is the golden period of the formation of the muscles, so now is the best time to mengasup nutrients needed in the process, " he explained.

Although carbohydrate is recommended, but should avoid fructose as carbohydrate sources. Virgin said that fructose may slow fat burning after exercise. So avoid juice drinks or fruit juice after exercising.

Instead, choose complex carbohydrates in combination with protein, fiber, and healthy fats.
