New Drug to Forget Bitter Memories

"The results indicate if stress hormones reduced the brain is more difficult to remember kengangan-negative memories of the past," said Dr. Sonia Lupien, researchers from the University of Montreal as quoted by the ScienceDaily.

Dr Lupien that conclusion after conducting experiments in 33 adult men who were asked to read or learn a few stories. There are 2 kinds of stories are given, ie a story with shades of neutral and negative shades in the sense of pitiful.

After studying these stories, the participants were divided into 3 groups. Metyrapone The first group received a single dose, the second group received the same drug with multiple doses and the latter is only given a placebo or empty medicine.

After taking medicine regularly for 3 days, participants were asked again tells a sad story she read. Metyrapone participants who drank the most difficult with a double dose while recounting a placebo drink best memory.

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.

"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.
