Hepatitis

Hepatitis is a general term for all forms of inflammation that occurs in the liver or liver. Hepatitis can be acute or chronic with a variety of causes. Hepatitis can be caused by viral hepatitis (A, B, C, D and E), other viruses such as mononucleosis or chickenpox virus.

Hepatitis is also caused by drugs, excessive alcohol consumption and toxins from the environment. Another factor causes of hepatitis including excessive fat accumulation in the liver (fatty liver), trauma and disease autoimmun.

Diagnosis of hepatitis is sometimes obscured by the flu because the symptoms are almost the same. Though some of hepatitis must be handled properly so as not to be serious and affect liver function.

The liver is the organ that is essential for the body because the liver produces bile acids to aid digestion of fats, cleanse the blood of substances hazardous chemicals and regulate chemical substances contained in blood.

Five viral hepatitis can only infect humans in various ways but the point remains the same ie they infect the liver and make it inflamed. The acute phase of this disease will be cured in 2 to 3 weeks and complete recovery in 9 weeks.

Causes of Hepatitis

Although the symptoms are caused almost similar but the effects of each cause can be different. In cases of viral hepatitis, severe illness is very terggantung least of the type of virus that infects.

Hepatitis A

The virus is transmitted through the mouth and anus of contaminated food or water. This virus is the most harmless and can heal itself without complications.

Hepatitis B

Hepatitis B virus is transmitted through sexual contact, blood transfusions and needle exchange rate with the patient. The virus can cross the placenta so that it can be transmitted from pregnant mother to the fetus.

Generally, patients with hepatitis B will recover completely. A small percentage will still carry the virus in their bodies (career) and can transmit the virus to others. Some of them can become chronic hepatitis. Almost 25% of patients will experience complications of chronic hepatitis liver cirrhosis or liver cancer is deadly.

Hepatitis C

Hepatitis C is transmitted through blood contact or use of contaminated needles, including tattoo needles. Although infection with this virus had no symptoms but about 20% of sufferers will develop liver cirrhosis within 20 years.

Hepatitis D

Hepatitis D occurs only in people infected with hepatitis B and aggravate the illness. The virus is transmitted through sexual contact and from mother to fetus. Although it is rare but hepatitis D is very dangerous because its combination with hepatitis B who are also dangerous.

Hepatitis E

Hepatitis E typically occur in Asia, Mexico, India and Africa. As with viral hepatitis A, hepatitis E is transmitted through the mouth. This disease can not become chronic. The virus is slightly more dangerous than hepatitis A because it can cause death in pregnant women.

Hepatitis due to alcohol, toxins and drugs provide the same symptoms caused by viral hepatitis. The difference, hepatitis is not caused by bacteria infection but because of excessive alcohol consumption in a long time, the entry of toxic / hazardous chemical substances from the environment and the use of drugs that are not true. Drugs that often cause hepatitis is paracetamol, if taken to excess. 

Antioxidants Good For Male Fertility

 According to research, the antioxidants are very good for improving male fertility.

Data taken from 34 clinical trials (clinical trial) with more than 1,000 couples of childbearing age who visited a fertility clinic in England. Most of the men of couples of childbearing age has a low number of sperm cells.

The couple is then able to conceive and give birth to live children after the men consumed antioxidants include vitamins and minerals.

The findings are then published in the journal The Cochrane Library.

However the research is very promising still needs further research, according to Dr. Allan Pacey, senior lecturer at the Andrology, University of Sheffield, England.

According to antioxidant therapy is not always to increase the number of sperm cells of men and not all cases of male infertility can be helped.

Vitamin A On Sunscreen Causes Cancer

A press release came from practitioners surprising Environmental Working Group (EWG) Retinyl Palmitate on the possibility that many chemicals found in sunscreen products may cause skin cancer if this material is exposed to sunlight.

According to the conclusion of the National Toxicology Program or NTP that quoted EWG, based on observations of 11 scientists from several universities on the effects of Retinyl Palmitate in animals found that there has been increased activity of skin tumor cell growth if the material is applied to the skin of animals and then exposed to sunlight.

Sunscreen should prevent skin tumor cell growth and not vice versa, so this discovery really surprised. Especially since most of the sunscreen products on the market contain ingredients Retinyl Palmitate.

This result is, of course, received criticism from other scientists. According to them, the results found in animal experiments certainly can not be generalized to humans. Remember, in a sunscreen product does not only contain Retinyl Palmitate but mixed with other ingredients and of course the effect will berebeda.

Reasons to Move Your Doctor

When you visit a doctor of the patient is given the option to deliver any form of complaint which he felt to require a doctor. Unfortunately not all doctors have the opportunity and time to listen to patient complaints.

Not all doctors could be a good listener even though in terms of scholarly can not doubt his abilities. Not all doctors are also able to communicate well with patients without judging people who are in pain.

Here are some things that you can make a benchmark for moving the doctor:

1. You feel the doctor is blaming, ignoring or criticizing you or people you inter-treatment.

2. Doctors do not give a response to your complaint or impressed defend themselves and no fun.

3. You notice the doctor is not seriously respond to your complaint or the person you are inter-treatment.

5. Doctors are reluctant to explain the treatment options that can be selected by the patient, including side effects or risk of such action.

Anger can make Shortness of Breath and Tingling

Screaming with bulging eyes do not necessarily indicate a person is really angry, because they sometimes can be made up. But if until shortness of breath and tingling, can be sure his emotions completely out of control.

We're very angry, a person may have a short breathing very fast or often termed a 'breath of hunting'. The direct impact that often accompanies this condition is shortness of breath for which the lungs are not strong enough.

Condition called hyperventilation syndrome (Hyperventilation Syndrome) is often mistaken for asthma, and not infrequently wrong doctor diagnose. And because it was triggered by psychological factors, this condition is almost never accompanied by damage to lung tissue and respiratory system.

Although not life-threatening illness as a real lung, hyperventilation syndrome can still lead to disruption if not addressed. One of the indirect impacts are caused numbness and tingling in some parts of the body.

Fast, shallow breaths and ongoing exchange of oxygen caused by carbon dioxide occurs very fast. Circulatory system is not able to keep up and become involved in the composition of biochemical imbalances in the blood.

Protein levels in the blood increases, on the one hand calcium levels dropped dramatically. One result of the lack of calcium in the blood is tingling and numbness, especially on the fingers of the feet and hands as well as some areas around the mouth.

Meanwhile, to handle it, some way could be done like:

• Do not panic, because in general symptoms of shortness of breath and tingling not life threatening. Try to curb your emotions and try to breathe slowly with more relaxed.
• If it is difficult to catch his breath, grab a paper bag and breathe in it for a while. Make sure your mouth and nose closed to restrict the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
• It is better to tell someone else, that this disorder is not asthma, and only appears when not able to control emotions. This step is useful to avoid panic in the people in the neighborhood.
• Learn to control your emotions and manage stress, try to always face the problem with more relaxed.
• Regular exercise can reduce the risk of hyperventilation syndrome, because the lungs are trained will be better able to tolerate a variety of changing conditions on the respiratory system.
• When all of the above does not work, contact the psychologist to consult or go to a psychiatrist to get a stress reliever medication.

Seeing the Color Red Make Muscle Gaining Strength and Lively

New York, instinctively, human muscles become stronger and move faster when he saw all things red. If you do not believe, observe reflex when a wife slapping her husband who came home with red lipstick-stained shirt.

The above example may be too extreme, but it can be compared with the response when a student receives a report card that all red contents. Heart muscle will definitely work more quickly, thus beating very fast and uncontrolled.

Likewise, when a man ran into a pretty girl on the street and are interested to follow it. If the girl in the red dress, without realizing the man's footsteps will be faster than if the girl wearing a shirt with another color.

Andrew Elliot, a professor from the University of Rochester, New York, said in an instinctive movement of human muscle is influenced by the color red. In the concept of evolution, this tendency is useful to prevent people from danger.

When a person appears on the face, the red color often expresses anger is mounting. If you want to survive, someone who is dealing with opponents that his face began to redden his muscles have to move faster to get out or prepare to defend themselves.

The threat in the form of a red color can trigger anxiety, making distracting and sometimes disturbing comfort. It all affects the physical and mental condition.

To prove this theory, Prof. Elliot conducted experiments on 46 students. Clutching a special tool to observe the strength of grip, the participants were asked to read tightly written a few words with a different color.

After comparison, the hand grip of the students tend to strengthen when reading the brightly colored red, especially bright. Volume during red reading is also higher than that observed when reading the text in another color.

Adverse Impact of Social Media for Teens

Adolescents who spent more daily air and air-sms social media tend to have worse behavior than their friends who are not too active air and air-sms social media. Thus the conclusion of a recent study.

Research conducted by Case Western Reserve School of Medicine, studied 4257 high school students in a town on the outskirts of the United States.

Teens who are too active pro-sms or known by the term "hyper-texters" are those who wrote more than 120 messages per day. They tend to behave badly, namely:

     40% tried smoking.
     43% tried to drink liquor.
     41% tried to use illicit drugs.
     55% tried to fight.
     90% of them have more than 4 dates.

"These results show, if not controlled, adolescents who are too active pro-sms has a tendency to behave badly." demolished, Scott Frank, MD, of Case Western Reserve. "This is a warning to parents to pay more attention to activities of their sons and daughters."

Frank and his friends also reported active youth research tehadap bersosial media or known by the term "hyper-networking." Those who belong to this group is that spend their time more than 3 hours per day hanging out in the world of social media. They are at risk:

     62% tried smoking.

     69% of attempted sexual contact.
     60% have more than 4 dates.

Frank presented the findings of this in Denver, the United States during the meeting to the 138, American Public Health Association.

Sweating blood can indeed scary and very rare. But this condition is usually associated with other diseases such as hemochromatosis, which is the condition of the dangers which many iron formed and stored in the body that makes a person vulnerable to hematidrosis.

In addition there is also another theory that says that the extreme anxiety or fear experienced by a person causes the release of a chemical that can break the capillaries in the sweat glands. As a result there is a small amount of bleeding so that the sweat that comes out along with blood.

Dr. Zugibe said some cases associated with hematidrosis reportedly occurred when a person experiences fear and sentenced to execution is also due to fear of storms while sailing center.

Advantages Compared Donkey Milk Soy Milk

Animals are often considered animal dumb ass, while the soybean crop is always staying digadang as one of the best nutritional sources. But in some ways, the milk produced by these dumb animals can surpass milk made from soybeans.

Milk produced by a female donkey was once popular in the past, even been known since ancient Egyptian civilization. It is said that Queen Cleopatra is famous for beautiful always maintain their health by drinking donkey milk and use it for bathing.

No wonder if Cleopatra remained slim until the end of his life, because research has shown that soy milk does not cause fat. Unlike cow's milk that often trigger obesity, calorie content in donkey milk was relatively lower.

Dipersentasikan A study in the International Congress on Obesity in Istanbul, Turkey also reveal donkey milk contains omega-3. Quoted from Dailymail, Sunday (5/29/2011), the compound is useful for maintaining heart health.

Just like the donkey's milk, milk made from soy beans also have various advantages over cow's milk. Both are safer from the risk of heart disease because of the fat a bit, do not trigger allergies because of low fat and lactose.

Meanwhile, if both are compared, donkey milk has several advantages that are not owned by milk from soy beans. One donkey milk does not contain fitoesterogen, ie, estrogen-like compounds which exist in soybean seeds.

In humans, estrogen is a hormone that women will reduce the quality of sperm produced by men. As a result, as written Jorge Chacarro, MD in the journal Human Reproduction in 2008, the level of male fertility can be reduced.

Another impact of fitoesterogen on soy milk is a trigger of gynecomastia or breast enlargement in men. Secondary sexual symptoms that should occur in women can also appear in men, such as a mustache and beard do not want to grow.

Lack of donkey milk is not only available in large quantities because these animals only produce milk on average 1 liter / day. While soy milk could be produced in any amount because many who cultivate these plants. 

Swimming Pool Water Can Damage Teeth

Swimming in the pool that contains chlorine does not only increase the risk of children developing asthma and allergies. Recently, researchers discovered a pool of water containing chlorine can also cause tooth decay.

The use of disinfectants such as chlorine can be used to kill various pathogenic bacteria in the water. But if the compound is mixed with other organic materials such as urine and sweat, the chlorine can release a mixture of products that can irritate the eyes, skin and upper airways.

Recent findings researched by Dr. Leila Jahangiri from New York University College of Dentistry's Department of Prosthodontics, found that levels of chlorine and high pH limit could affect the occurrence of rapid and permanent erosion and enamel (outer layer) one's teeth.

Dr. Leila's case found this occurs in men aged 52 years who have problems are very sensitive teeth, tooth-colored yellow and the dark because of the rapid loss of enamel for 5 months. Loss of tooth enamel can indeed be triggered by medical illness such as bulimia or acid reflux, but in middle-aged men are the triggers are activities that do swimming every day for 90 minutes.

In addition to dental problems that are very sensitive because of eroded tooth enamel, men also have problems of skin disorders. After conducting the examination continues menenerus finally found the acidity of a swimming pool becomes the trigger man dental decay.

The findings of this case, according to Dr. Leila does not mean people should not swim but special attention should be the manager or owner of the pool to monitor the routine use of chlorine in a safe and limit the pool water pH level balanced.

"I do not want to give a warning to swim, but there needs to be awareness and prevention of the pool manager for the public not to panic," said Dr. Leila as reported from healthzone.ca

According to Dr Leila, a swimming pool should have a neutral pH level between 7.2 to 7.8. While the use of chlorine should be used so as not to be a pollutant according to the American Chemistry Council, between 2.0 to 4.0 ppm (parts per million) and need not be below 1.0 ppm.

"PH balance in swimming pools is very easy to lose, and indeed maintenance of swimming pools is not as easy as people think, but still maintaining a very important element to keep it," said Dr. Leila.

He warned that parents be aware if the children complain of hot skin, sore skin, sore eyes or teeth feel very clean after swimming. Two of the complaints experienced has shown chlorine and pH in the swimming pool was too high.

If eye irritation can be reduced by wearing swimming goggles, the complaint and color sensitive teeth damaged by water swimming pools must be performed by a dentist to do veneers (coated) teeth with porcelain.

The important thing to consider in maintaining a swimming pool is to maintain the pH value correctly, do the cleaning or filters regularly, to ensure water circulation remains berajaln and maintaining a threshold value of chlorine and other organic materials.

Meanwhile, how to prevent contracting the disease from swimming pools can be made:

    Rinse yourself with water and antiseptic soap before and after the swim
    Do not swim if you have diarrhea or a gastrointestinal infection several days earlier
    Using a tight bathing suit stuck to the body should not loose
    Always try to urinate in the toilet
    Make a habit of washing hands with soap and running water. 

Black Coffee Can Increase Body Metabolism

The key to stay slim and lose weight is to speed up the metabolic system. In addition to sports, black coffee it also can help increase metabolism.

The main thing that causes rapid or slow weight gain is the metabolic system and the process of burning calories. The higher the metabolism, the food is digested faster and burn more calories, so it does not cause fat deposits in the body.

Metabolism is the process of the body that convert food and beverages consumed into energy. During a complex biochemical process, calories in foods and beverages that are combined with oxygen to release energy needed for bodily functions.

Black coffee is one drink that can help increase your metabolism. In addition to fat-free, black coffee (without sugar) is also free of calories that can play a role in weight loss.

Several studies have shown that the caffeine in black coffee may act as a temporary appetite suppressant, so it can reduce the desire to eat.

Caffeine is also believed to provide a temporary boost to the body's metabolism. In this case, the body will digest the food to produce energy and heat a little faster than usual. This process is known as thermogenesis.

Caffeine can also stimulate physical activity, which burns extra calories. If caffeine makes you feel more awake, you can burn more calories through increased thermogenesis and physical movement. However, the impact of caffeine on thermogenesis varies from person to person.

For some individuals, caffeine in black coffee also acts as a diuretic. This means that caffeine causes a greater excretion of water from the body that is in the form of urine.

Therefore, black coffee can promote weight loss through water loss from the body. However, this reduction is usually not permanent, because the body does not lose any fat.
