The characteristic feature of Children Affected by Diabetes Type I and II as well as How to Take care of him

The characteristic feature of Children Affected by Diabetes Type I and II as well as How to Take care of him


Faiz, 6-year-old boy, looked like other children his age, agile and active. But last year, he had made his parents anxious.

"Initially we thought there was a problem when she started to like to eat and drink often. But, when she still weighs 11 pounds, belly, and began to frequent wetting, but not so long ago, we started to worry, "said M. Novianto Arif, Faiz's father, in a media seminar on early detection of diabetes in children, last week.

Arif Faiz sanctions when doctors diagnose lung disease. Arif half forcing doctors to perform blood tests. "The doctor raised their hands when the blood sugar test results Faiz reached 270 before meals and 450 after meals," said Arif, an event organized Indonesian Pediatric Association (IDAI) and the World Diabetes Foundation. Safe blood sugar levels are 100-140 mg / dl.

"In the large family had blamed each other so called Faiz type I diabetes," says Arif. In fact, according to endocrinologist Dr. Aman Bhakti Pulungan child, SpA (K), guest speaker at the event, type I diabetes mellitus (DM type I) is no longer obey the rules of descent, which only occurs in 10 percent of cases. Metabolic diseases is partly also due to suspected autoimmune diseases, viral infections, pancreatic cells are damaged, or the body can no longer produce enough insulin.

"Even an asymptomatic or why is unknown," said Dr. Aman, who is also caring for Faiz. Safe refers to other patients, Arman Maulana Azhar, 18 years, adolescents living with type I diabetes mellitus who were diagnosed since elementary school class V.

Type I diabetes mellitus is a systemic disorder that occurs due to metabolic disorder characterized by chronic hyperglycemia, which involves damage to the insulin-producing cells in the stomach or pancreas saliva in charge of maintaining the balance of blood sugar.

At one point, according to Dr. Aman, is more important to find a solution how to handle children with diabetes mellitus type I selected this, as well as gained the attention of children with diabetes mellitus type II. "Because, if that type II is still no drug that can be consumed, the type I insulin dependent," said Dr. Aman.

"The government is not without attention to the needs of this type I diabetics. But we also expect no movement from the community to participate in addressing this issue, "said Dr. Ekowati Rahajeng, SKM, M. Kes, Director of the Control of Communicable Diseases, in his speech.

"Tackling chronic disease is severe for developing countries, like Indonesia, because it is also still dealing with the problem of infectious diseases," said Dr. Badriul Hegar, SpA (K), PhD, chairman of Indonesian Pediatric Center. Based on the data collection during 2008-2010 Unit Working Group on Children Endiokrinologi IDAI, a total of 674 children suffering from type I diabetes mellitus in Indonesia.

Regardless of the severity of the costs, Dr. Aman is also concerned about the high number of errors and delays in diagnosis in children with diabetes type I. This occurs because the awareness and knowledge about the society that is still low DM type I. Besides the possibility of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, children with type I diabetes may develop diabetic ketoacidosis.

"Like Faiz, Arman also had experienced ketoacidosis should be treated to six times," said Dr. Aman. Ketoacidosis is a condition when blood sugar levels rise uncontrollably, causing the body to form substances ketone byproduct. Ketones cause the blood to become acid that poisons the brain so the patient consciousness disappears. The attack was initially started shortness of breath, vomiting, abdominal pain, kidney damage, cataracts, heart, and coma and death.

A person with type I diabetes must take a "report card" every three months. "During the HbA1C blood tests, can survive under a figure eight can be said they are almost normal," said Aman. "The point is, do not forget to check blood sugar levels."

Utami Widowati
Beware if the child:
-Eat a lot of weight but not increase.
-Frequent thirst.
-Frequent urination. At night all of a sudden incontinence, although previously never again since growing up.
Quick-tired.
Child's breath smelled of acetone-or acid.
-Easy to fungal infection of the skin.
-Blurred vision.
-Vomiting and abdominal pain.

The four pillars of the handling of type I diabetes mellitus in children:
-Insulin by the number of regular and measurable.
-Settings diet, type, and amount.
-Sports.
-Monitoring of routine.
-Education for children, parents, families, and communities in the child's environment.

Vitamin A Fortification At Cooking Oil to Help the Poor

Vitamin A Fortification At Cooking Oil to Help the Poor


Indonesia prepares for vitamin A fortification of cooking oil in bulk to increase your intake of vitamin A on the poor. Two of the 97 cooking oil factories in Indonesia have done fortification, but still limited to cooking oil packaging.

"Hopefully the year 2012 all bulk cooking oil in Indonesia already contains vitamin A," Prof Soekirman, Director of the Foundation for Development Kegizian Indonesia Food Fortification (KFI), explained that, on Wednesday (13 / 7) at the XI Congress of Nutrition Asia in Singapore.

Fortification is the enrichment process to increase levels of food nutrients. Cooking oil was chosen because the most widely consumed by the public. The addition of vitamin A will raise the price of cooking oil around USD 50 per kilogram.

Soekirman said Indonesia faces problems of chronic vitamin A deficiency. The results showed nutritionists, many children and pregnant women have low levels of vitamin A in the blood. International standards, levels of vitamin A in the blood of at least 20 international units (IU). Levels of vitamin A in Indonesia children on average 30-40 percent below normal standards.

Vitamin A deficiency can cause impaired vision and lower body resistance. In Indonesia, vitamin A intake is proven to reduce mortality by up to 25 percent of the total child mortality in Indonesia. Naturally, the requirement of vitamin A can be obtained from animal products.

Help nutrition
In Indonesia, fortification program conducted since 1994. The first fortification made is the provision of iodine in salt. Then in 2001 the government implemented a policy of fortification iron, folic acid, vitamin B1 and B2 of the flour. According to studies, poor people eat more than rice noodles. This year, KFI review the fortification of rice to the poor with the National Development Planning Agency, Bulog, and the Ministry of Agriculture.

Minarto, Director of Nutrition Ministry of Health, said the government has long disseminate diet with balanced nutrition, but is constrained purchasing power is low and should be assisted with fortification.
Cooking oil fortification program conducted internationally. KFI received funding from the International Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition, the nonprofit organization funded by Bill Gates, the World Health Organization, and World Bank.

Three Things to Avoid To Prevent Alzheimer's and brain shrinkage

Three Things to Avoid To Prevent Alzheimer's and brain shrinkage


Recent research confirms why you should immediately stop smoking, maintain a healthy weight, keeping blood sugar and blood pressure. According to experts the study, three risk factors ie smoking, diabetes and obesity can cause your brain to shrink rapidly in middle age and even trigger a mental disorder until ten years later.

This is the result of a study of 1352 volunteers aged on average 54 years in the Framingham Offspring Study titled research since 1971. Researchers from the University of California found that smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes associated with changes in blood vessels that could potentially harm the brain. "We can not cure or treat diseases of aging, but encourages the community to have a healthy body and healthy mind is important," said Dr. Charles DeCarli director of UC Davis 'Alzheimer's Disease Center'.

"People should stop smoking, control their blood pressure, prevent diabetes and lose weight," added the researchers who published his research in the journal Neurology issue of August 2, 2011.

In this study, volunteers are required to undergo blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes. Volunteers were also measured body mass and waist circumference. They then underwent magnetic resonance imaging scan (MRI) brain within an interval of 10 years. The first MRI scan done about seven years after the initial examination of risk factors. Participants who had a stroke and dementia at the initial examination no longer involved in the study. From the results of the first and last scan revealed, 19 participants had a stroke and the other two suffered dementia.

Participants are high tensinya showed faster decline in the ability of the brain, ie, test planning and decision making. It is associated with a higher acceleration in terms of damage in the area of ​​the brain blood vessels than those with normal blood pressure.

Those who develop diabetes in middle age experience more rapid shrinkage in the hippocampus than did not have diabetes. Those who smoke in general brain volume loss and shrinkage in the hippocampus which is faster than nonsmokers, as well as damaged blood vessels in the brain more quickly.

Meanwhile, participants who were obese in middle age tend to be in 25 percent of participants who experienced a rapid decline in executive function tests. Those with waist-hip ratio tend to go higher among participants who experienced a 25 percent decrease in brain volume faster.

Fasting Proven Changing Structure of the Human Brain

Fasting Proven Changing Structure of the Human Brain


Record brain activity carried out simultaneously. So also with the activity of fasting. During one month, the bodies are invited to undergo a routine dawn, refraining from eating, drinking, and sex, then break in the evening and the other to practice Ramadan.

Fasting is a part of religious orders. Meanwhile, religion and spirituality is a form of brain-controlled human behavior. Chairman of the Centre for Neuroscience, Health, and Spirituality (C-NET) Doctoral Pasiak Taufiq said that fasting becomes a mental exercise relating to the nature of the brain, ie neuroplasticity. "Brain cells can regenerate and form a new structural relationship, either because of mental exercises constantly," said Taufik told Tempo.

Its lay language, he said, if someone does good works continuously, the structure of his brain will change. The time needed for nerve cells that convert at least 21 days. According to Taufik, fasting is a mental exercise that uses an intermediary exercises withstand physical needs (eating, drinking, sex).

In addition to forming new brain structures, Taufik explained that fasting relaxes the nervous system, especially the brain. But there are fundamental differences between the relaxation of the digestive system and nervous system. During fasting, the digestive system actually rested for about 14 hours, while in the brains of people are fasting it happens a lot of information management.

For example, he said, the brain can remember well when calm and relaxed. When sleeping, usually people dream of. Why? Because at this time the brain will only accept and manage the information that comes from within him. In the Quran, according to Taufik, there is the term an-nafs al-Muthmainah (peaceful soul) because it is in a quiet person can think well and have a keen sensitivity of the heart. "Peace makes us face the problems of non-reactive," he said.

Luqman al-Hakim had counseled his son, "O my son, when the stomach filled with food, then gelaplah mind, bisulah said tongue of wisdom (wisdom), and malaslah all limbs to worship."

The brain consists of trillions of cells that are connected to each other. In it can be stored 1 billion bits of memory or memory. This is equivalent to the information of the 500 complete sets of encyclopedias.
In the brain, there are cells called neuroglial cells. Brain function as a cleanser. When fasting, the cells are dead or diseased neurons will be 'eaten' by these neuroglial cells. Physicist Albert Einstein was known as someone who likes a fast. When donated his body, the scientists found the cells in the brain neuroglial Einstein 73 percent more than the average person.

A study conducted Rately John, a psychiatrist from Harvard University, United States, suggests that the regulation and calorie restriction increase brain performance. By means of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), Rately monitor the condition of their brains and are not fasting. The result, people who have shaum motor cortex activity increased consistently and significantly.

Taufik said that fasting is a form tazkiyatun nafs (desire to grow) and tarbiyatun will of god (educating the will). Therefore, since the intention of fasting, during fasting and behavioral rituals within the context of improving appetite, grow, and then manage the will-the will of man.

Slovenia Develop Artificial Breasts Belly Fat Body

Slovenia Develop Artificial Breasts Belly Fat Body


EXPERT surgery in Slovenia successfully developed a new method of breast reconstruction for cancer patients, according to reports Slovenian Press Agency (STA)

Surgeons in Ljubljana Central Hospital uses three-dimensional mold to form a new breast from the patient's abdominal fat then embed the network in the area where the breast had been removed.

Mold-making technique developed Ljubljana Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, uses a laser to create a suitable mold and sehat.Cetakan breast is then used to make molds for the three-dimensional reconstruction.

This is the first method in the world to help patients cope with the shame of women lose their breasts after mastectomy. Uros Ahcan, chief of plastic surgery at the Hospital Center Ljubljana, said that breast reconstruction was made sesimetris possible to form a healthy breast.

This latest breast reconstruction methods have advantages over artificial implants, because the breast is reconstructed from adipose tissue can grow and shrink along with the addition and weight loss. In addition, these networks have the same temperature as our bodies.

So far, Ljubljana Central Hospital has conducted eight reconstructive surgery for breast cancer patients. Everything was judged a success and there are ten operations plans in the coming weeks.
About 1,200 women are diagnosed with breast cancer Slovenia each year. As about 70 percent of patients can expect to have breast reconstruction after mastectomy.

Honey Effective Against Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria Super

Honey Effective Against Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria Super


Recent research suggests, a type of honey used to heal the wounds turned out to be a potent drug has great potential to overcome the super bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics.

As reported by the Daily Mail, manuka honey types reported to be effective to kill the three types of bacteria that commonly infect the body when wounded, including among other super germs Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

Manuka honey is a type of honey produced by bees resident in New Zealand manuka tree. Experts have known this type of honey for a long time because it is also often used in products of modern wound healing. The problem is, the secret of strength in overcoming manuka honey wound is still a mystery.

The team, led by Professor Rose Cooper of the University of Wales Institute Cardiff (UWIC), in his research, found that manuka honey was able to prevent the development of bacteria with an unusual way. This honey can inhibit the bonding process of bacteria on the network, an important stage in the infection process.

"Preventing the bond can also inhibit the formation of biofilms, which can protect bacteria from antibiotics and let them cause infection continually," said Cooper.

Another study conducted showed Cooper, manuka honey makes MRSA becomes more sensitive to antibiotics such as oxacillin or effectively reversing antibiotic resistance.

"This indicates that the current antibiotics may be more effective against infections caused by bacteria resistant when combined with manuka honey," he explained.

According to Professor Cooper, further research would be done by increasing the use of honey clinically because doctors are now faced with the problem of ever increasing cases of drug resistance.

"We need innovative and effective ways in controlling the infection would likely contribute to increased antibiotic resistance," said Cooper, who published his findings in the conference "Society for General Microbiology" in the district of Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England.

Benefits of Soursop Fruit As Anti-Cancer Drug and Anti-Bacterial Proven In Clinical

Benefits of Soursop Fruit As Anti-Cancer Drug and Anti-Bacterial Proven In Clinical


FRUIT which in Spain is known by the name or the name of the British graviola or soursop soursop natural killer cells are recognized as miraculous cancer with 10,000 times stronger than chemo therapy or chemotherapy.

But why do we not know?
Because one of the secret world of research findings on this matter as close-meeting, they wanted to be a very large research funds have been spent, for many years, may return in advance plus generous benefits by making Synthetic Graviola tree as raw material for medicine and medicine sold to the world market!

Ironically, some people have died in vain, pathetic, because the malignancy of cancer, while the giant companies, drug makers with a turnover of billions of dollars sealed this secret miracle.
Efficacy of soursop fruit gives the anti-tumor / cancer is very strong, and medically proven cure all types of cancer.

In addition to cure cancer, soursop fruit also acts as an anti-bacterial, anti fungal (fungi), effective against many types of parasites / worms, lowering high blood pressure, depression, stress, and normalize the nervous system that is less good.

One of the things how important the existence of the Institute for Health Sciences Institute of Americans are revealing the secrets of this magical fruit. Research has proven that "magic tree" and the fruit of this work:

1. Attacking cancer cells safely and effectively naturally, WITHOUT nausea, weight loss, hair loss, as happened in chemo therapy.

2. Protecting the immune system and prevent deadly infections.

3. Patients feel more powerful, more healthy during the treatment / healing.

4. Increased energy and physical appearance improved.

5. Effectively selecting a target and kill the bad cells from 12 different types of cancer, including cancers: colon, breast, prostate, Paru2, and pancreas.

6. Power works 10,000 times stronger in slowing the growth of cancer cells compared to Adriamycin and Chemo therapy commonly used!

7. Unlike chemo therapy, this juice is only selectively hunt down and kill the bad cells and NOT harm / kill healthy cells!

Research has been conducted on the tree ekstensive "magic" is, for many years but why we do not know anything about this? The answer is: So easy our health, our lives are controlled by money and power!

TEGANJAL PATENTS
One of America's largest drug companies with a turnover of billions of dollars doing extraordinary research on Graviola tree that grows this Amazon jungle.
Apparently some parts of this tree: bark, roots, leaves, fruit pulp and seeds, over the centuries into a cure for the Indians in South America to treat: heart disease, asthma, liver problems (heart) and rheumatism.

With the scientific evidence is minimal, the company disbursed funds and human resources are very large in order to conduct research and various tests. The results are astonishing. Graviola is scientifically proven as cancer cell killing machine!

But ... the story of Graviola nearly ended here. Why?
Under the Federal Undang2, natural resources for the drug banned / not be patented.
Companies facing a big problem, trying hard with huge costs to make sinthesa / cloning of Graviola is to be patented so that funds expended for Research and Miscellaneous Test can be returned, and even reap huge profits.

But this attempt did not succeed. Graviola can not be cloned! The company also bite the finger after spending billions of dollars for research and Miscellaneous Test.

When a dream to earn big profits gradually fade, research and test activities as well quit. Worse yet, the company closed the project and decided to NOT publish the results of this research.
Fortunately, there was one scientist from the research team can not bear to see this happen. By sacrificing his career, he contacted a company that used to collect natural materials from the Amazon jungle to the manufacture of drugs.

When the experts of the Health Sciences Research Institute at the news miracle Graviola, they began to do research. The results were startling. Graviola tree proved to be an effective cancer cell killer.
The National Cancer Institute began the first scientific research in 1976. The results prove that Graviola leaf and stem wood is able to attack and destroy the evil cancer cells. Unfortunately, these results only for internal purposes and are not published.

Since 1976, Graviola has proven to be a killer of cancer cells in the extraordinary trials conducted by 20 different laboratories Independent.

A study published by the Journal of Natural Products stated that studies conducted by the Catholic University in South Korea, mentioning that one of the chemical elements contained in Graviola, able to select, discriminate and kill colon cancer cells with 10,000 times more powerful than with Adriamycin and Chemo Therapy! The most striking discovery from Catholic University in this study were: Graviola can memillih evil and kills only cancer cells, while healthy cells untouched / disrupted.

Graviola not like chemo therapy who can not distinguish between cancer cells and healthy cells, then the reproductive cells (such as stomach and hair) were killed out by Chemo Therapy, causing negative effects: nausea and hair loss.

A study at Purdue University show that the Graviola leaves are able to effectively kill cancer cells, particularly cancer cells: Prostate, Pancreas, and Lungs.

After for more than seven years no news of Graviola, finally broke the news of this miracle, too, through information from the institutions mentioned above.
Limited supply of Graviola extract is cultivated and harvested by indigenous people of Brazil, is now available in America.

Leaves boiled
In Indonesia, soursop as a natural remedy has also been long known. The dose of herbal therapists attempted to address the growth of cancer cells is 10 soursop leaves have dark green boiled in 3 cups of water (600 cc), and is left up to the remaining one cup of water (200 cc). Once cool, then filtered and the water drunk every morning (there are some patients who drink early in the afternoon).

Effect of consumption of soursop leaf decoction is stomach feels warm or hot, then the body will sweat profusely. It should be understood that the use of potent herbal ingredients are not directly or immediately recover cespleng aliases such as the effects of chemical drugs offered. That is, it took discipline to drink a potion for 3-4 weeks.

Now you know the benefits of soursop fruit is exceptional. It was refreshing sweet-sour sweet. 100% natural fruit without any side effects. Disseminate the good news to the family, relatives, friends, and friends that you love.

Research Proves That the DHA Consumption Can Reduce Stress and Making Happy

Research Proves That the DHA Consumption Can Reduce Stress and Making Happy


A new study identifies the impact of eating more fish oil showed the effects of inflammation. But surprisingly, seen also the effect of reduced anxiety in healthy young people.

These findings certainly suggest that if young people are able to get the benefit of such, the elderly and people at high risk for certain diseases may get more benefits. This finding has also been published in the journal Brain, Behavior and Immunity.

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fats, such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), has long been regarded as positive for food additives. Previous studies suggest that compounds that may play a role in reducing the levels of cytokines in the body of compounds that cause inflammation and may even reduce depression.

Psychological stress has repeatedly been shown to increase cytokine production, so the researchers wondered if increasing omega-3 may reduce the process by reducing inflammation.

Although research shows the positive impact of omega-3 supplements in reducing anxiety and inflammation, the researchers have not been willing to recommend adding this supplement to the daily menu. "Perhaps it is too early to recommend the use of omega-3 supplements to the whole community, especially given the cost and limited supply of fish oil," said Martha Belury, associate professor of human nutrition and researchers of this study. "People just have to consider increasing your intake of these nutrients is through food," he said as quoted from ScienceDaily

Being Able Frog Skin Anti-Cancer Drugs

Being Able Frog Skin Anti-Cancer Drugs


Researchers from Queens University, Belfast, Northern Ireland, found two types of proteins in the skin of frogs, that have the potential as a cancer cure.

"Two types of proteins that can inhibit the growth of blood vessels once used to kill tumor cells," said Chris Shaw, leader of the research team, on Tuesday (07/06/2011), told BBC News.

According to Shaw, most tumor cells can only grow to a certain size before the cells need blood vessels to grow into a tumor to deliver nutrients and oxygen are very important substances.

In research, the scientists catch frogs and retrieve the results of protein secretion on the skin, then release it back into the wild. Shaw himself has said, he believes will have a natural solution for a variety of diseases that humans face, "Just how to find it."

The study was awarded to medical discoveries in the Medical Futures Innovation Awards in London recently.

Used and Odor Socks Proven Medication Mosquito Malaria is the most efficacious

Used and Odor Socks Proven Medication Mosquito Malaria is the most efficacious


You know, there is a more effective way to repel mosquitoes other than spray or mosquito nets, namely former socks. Yes, old socks that smell may not tasty it is preferred malaria mosquitoes.

Is Dr.Bart Knols, scientists from the Netherlands, who first learned that mosquitoes attracted to the smell of human feet. He deliberately stood naked in the dark room to find out which body part most preferred mosquitoes to bite. Turns the legs are a favorite of mosquitoes.

However, for 15 years, "science" has not been much help scientists in preventing mosquito bites, especially those that can cause diseases such as malaria mosquitoes.

Then Dr.Fredros Okumu, head of research projects from Tanzania Ifakara Health Institute, creating a blend of eight types of chemicals to find the most appropriate scent to attract mosquitoes.

The mosquitoes are lured by the odor smells like old socks then into a trap and then given a toxic substance. This is an effective way to kill 95 percent of mosquitoes. Trap was placed outside the room.
"Trap with a distinctive odor of human feet that attract mosquitoes more than four times," Okumu said that working on this project for 2 years.

He explained the research will still continue to find the most suitable place to lay a trap. If placed too close to humans then there is the possibility of mosquitoes are more attracted to bite humans, but if the distance is too far away will be less effective trap.

Okumu made prototype trap is still quite expensive because the factory he hoped there could be expensive to produce that trap so that it can reach broad masyaraktat.

Top of this innovation Okumu who last year received $ 100,000 in research funding to get additional 775,000 American dollars from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to continue projeknya in the prevention of malaria.

Although even the global malaria infection has been reduced but still found 220 million new cases of malaria each year. The UN says the number is 800,000 people died, most are children.

How to Read the Disease With Viewing Conditions and Physical Characteristics Body

How to Read the Disease With Viewing Conditions and Physical Characteristics Body


Actually there is a clear sign that can be seen with the naked eye when the body got into trouble. Even so, medical testing is absolutely necessary in order to ensure more accurate results.

The health condition of your body can be seen from the sign in all your body. Starting from the condition of the ears, eyebrows, chest, and even fingers. Your risk of certain diseases can also be seen with the naked eye. then get to know some signs of health problems as quoted from redbookmag:

1. Ears that contract
"Over a decade of research, it is known that the wrinkles in one ear associated with an increased risk of heart disease," said Joanne Foofy. MD, a cardiologist at Brigham and Women Hospital, USA.

2. Thin eyebrows
Thin eyebrows can be pertandabahwa someone has a thyroid problem. "Thyroid hormones are made of hair and body hair konsisinya good. if the hair loss or thin, it's a sign that there is a thyroid disorder, "said Sandara Fryhofer, MD, professor of Emory University.

There are ways a simple blood test to know if you have problems with the thyroid. This way, you can easily discover why hair becomes thin.

3. A large chest
A large chest can Jandi sensual. Even so, this is not without risk. apparently, the larger chest size, the greater the risk of type 2 diabetes. These results obtained from a study of 90 thousand women for 20 years and became part of nursing science research.

This type of fat in the chest increases the likelihood of producing a hormone that can trigger diabetes. So, if you have a large chest size, it is not painful when you check your blood sugar levels.

4. Middle finger short
If your middle finger shorter than ring finger, you two have the potential to develop arthritis or muscular disorders. this is according to a study conducted by the Arthritis Research Institute of America.

"The greater the difference, the greater the risk," said Paul Leaveton, Ph.D., one of the researchers

Mosquitoes Cause Dengue Able Living In Dirty Water

Mosquitoes Cause Dengue Able Living In Dirty Water


Mosquito species Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, which is known as vector or virus disseminators of dengue fever (DHF), may be stronger than expected so far. Research indicates that mosquitoes can fly farther, active until evening, and also live in dirty water.

"We've done the research, Aedes aegypti can live in dirty water, no clean water only as long as we believe in," said Dr. Upik Kesumawati Hadi, Head of Parasitology and Entomology Health Faculty of Medicine, Bogor Agricultural University, during a seminar on insect Cibinong Science Center, Bogor, on . These findings need to be followed up so that people more alert.

In a 2006 study, his team emulate puddle of dirty water in the laboratory using a mixture of chicken manure, kapirit, and soapy water so that the level of water concentrates pollutants like in nature. Mosquito larva eggs laid into Dalma puddle turned out to be hatched into larvae to adult mosquitoes. Although already proven in the lab, he has never found a case in nature.

Aedes aegypti is known as being diurnal, or active during the day, but the study found mosquitoes bite humans is still up at 21.00. The peak activity of mosquitoes spreading dengue virus occurred between the hours of 8:00 to 09:00 am and 4:00 p.m. to 17:00.

Mosquitoes also have a cruising range of more distant. "The distance flown in the literature between 50-100 meters, but the study in Singapore showed up to 320 meters," he said. He did not dismiss the possibility that these changes caused the process of mutation and the physiological changes due to global warming.

Upik said the government and the public need to know bioekologi mosquito outbreaks so that prevention can be effective. Fogging or fumigation is not a solution because the solution is just a function of insecticide to kill adult mosquitoes. Mosquito life cycle must be broken as early as possible.

"Mosquitoes lay their eggs on the water surface. If the bath a week is not used for example, there is a black plaque on the walls when viewed with a magnifying glass is actually a row of eggs, "explains Upik. After the next 2-3 days, the eggs hatch into larvae. Eggs did not hatch due to dry can remain for months and will hatch once exposed to water, the larva, until ddewasa.

Adult mosquitoes that suck blood of patients with DHF will carry the virus, which has an incubation period of between 8-10 days in the mosquito's body. If a mosquito bites a healthy person, the virus was transmitted.

"However, any parasites that do not have the same behavior, we must know the weak points," said Upik. Behavior of mosquitoes in one area may also differ from other regions. unfortunately, during this research is still very limited local

Exercise room Proven Open With Many Trees Improve Mental and Physical Health

Exercise room Proven Open With Many Trees Improve Mental and Physical Health


A research suggests, the sport for five minutes in the park or green space can improve mood (mood) and mental health. The study was published in the American Chemical Society journal Environmental Science & Technology.

In the study, Professor Jules Pretty and Jo Barton of the Interdisciplinary Centre for Environment and Society, Department of Biological Sciences University of Essex UK, explains that performing physical activity in the park (green open space) can reduce the risk of mental illness and improve health.
According to researchers, until now no one knows how long to spend time in the green room to get health benefits.

"For the first time, in the scientific literature we have been able to show that there is a relationship between the two, in which the positive effects of nature are very good for the mental health of humans," says Pretty.

Researchers analyzed 1252 people (of various ages, gender and mental health status) taken from the ten studies in the UK. The authors were able to show that activity in the green space (natural) led to an improvement of mental and physical health.

Activity is quite diverse and simple as walking, gardening, cycling, fishing, horseback riding and farming. The biggest health changes occur in young people and those with mental disorders, although people of all ages and social groups also benefited.

According to researchers, all green natural environment that can provide benefits, including parks in urban areas.

1. Drug Side Effects
The drugs are the most common cause of xerostomia. Hundreds of medications can cause dry mouth.
Including the painkillers, drugs for depression, flu medicine, muscle spasm drugs, and drug allergies.
Elderly people often take many drugs, including drugs that may cause dry mouth. Therefore, many of those who experience dry mouth conditions.

2. Complications of Infectious Diseases and
Some diseases associated with dry mouth. Among them are diabetes, anemia, cystic fibrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, high blood pressure, and HIV infection.
Xerostomia also occurs in Sjogren's syndrome. In this condition, the body's antibodies attack the salivary glands and tear glands.
Some viral infections, such as mumps, also affect saliva production and cause xerostomia.
 
3. Dehydration
Any condition that causes loss of body fluids can also cause xerostomia.
These conditions include fever, excessive sweating, vomiting, diarrhea, blood loss, or loss of water through the skin due to burns.

Banana Flour Of Leather, Food Cheap and Very Rich Nutrition

Banana Flour Of Leather, Food Cheap and Very Rich Nutrition


Banana peel is often thrown away in any place. If carelessly discarded, then the banana peel can make people slip.
 
However, three students of biology Ten November Institute of Technology (ITS) Surabaya after conducting a series of studies have found that banana peel results can not be underestimated.
 
"Banana skin that is often considered worthless goods, it was found to have vitamin C, B, calcium, protein, and fat is also sufficient," said Sulfahri, one of three researchers.
 
Seeing the content of useful substances is high enough, then he and two colleagues were trying to make snacks of banana skin material.
 
"Initially, we only manufacture chips banana peel, but eventually the idea arose to make flour from banana skin," he said.
 
Students of 2007, said the banana flour was finally used as a raw material sponge cake. Despite repeatedly failed, but eventually they found the right formula to make the cake of a banana skin.
"If calculated more than 50 times, but we are now satisfied with the cake recipe that we have," he said.
Banana skin match made flour is a type of plantain, plantain skin is thicker than other types of bananas.
Sulfahri works and two colleagues was one of the innovative work that was selected in the screening for "Biological Opus Fair" 
 
Eight innovative products on display are the works entitled "Utilization of Banana Fruit Leather King (musa paradisiaca sapientum) in Cake Making Material Bolu" (the work of the Department of Biology Sulfahri ITS), and "Water Electric Light Trap (WEL-T) as a Substitute Pesticide Efforts Peningatan in Environment-Friendly Food Production "(paper Resti Afiandinie of Chemical Engineering Department ITS).

Another work is "Administrative Talok (Muntingia calabura Linn) as One Source of New Alternatives in the World of Food" (Linda Fitri Sari from Muhammadiyah University of Malang), then "Potential Suweg (Amorphophallus campanulatus Bl.) As an Alternative Food Ingredients (Exploring the Potential for Food Efforts Local) "(Riana Dyah Suryaningrum from Muhammadiyah University of Malang).
 
In addition there are other works, such as "Solid Waste Conversion Products Being Green" (Sulistiono Ningsih from the Department of Biology at the University of Jember), "Utilization of Microalgae (Phytoplankton) as a Source of Fuel Substitution Premium" (Abdul Azis Jaziri from the Department of Fisheries in the UB poor), "Diversification Dioscorea Flour as Alternative Sources of Food" (Zainal Arifin from the Department of Biology ITS), then "Utilization of fruit and leaf cersen / talok as chips and lunkhead" (Ria of Biology Department of Biological ITS).
 
Not unlike the Sulfahri, Zaenal Arifin also try to make diversification of food from tuber material uwi.
"Bulbs called latin Dioscorea alata turned out to be food safe for diabetics. Uwi sugar levels are low, but high in carbohydrates, "said student majoring in Biology ITS it.
 
Uwi processing into flour that did not require a complicated process, even just using traditional methods.
 
"I made from two kinds of uwi, uwi uwi white and purple which are equally low sugar yield. Uwi coarse grated, then marinated with lime water to separate the grater with the resin. Uwi it could sap water for pesticides that are environmentally friendly, "he said.
 
Grater that has been dried, he says, can be directly processed into flour. "Flour from uwi can be used as a raw material of various kinds of snacks, like cakes and noodles. Sense of its own flour fresh, so easy to be varied, "he said.
 
Not only food products, the duo of Chemical Engineering students also carry the work of ITS Surabaya named WEL-T (Electric Light Water-Trap).
 
Traps for insects in the rice cultivating it only takes one week only. "The idea was originally from mosquito racket," says Achmad Ferdiansyah, accompanied by his colleague, Resti Afiandinie.
Methods of mosquito racket was coupled with the traditional tools for catching moths. Communities often use oil lamps and a basin of water to catch insects.
 
"The method is also less dangerous and impractical, therefore we use a light shining purple as a decoy insect. Emission wavelength of violet light the shortest, so that the eye-catching insects. So enamored of light, the insects will be exposed to the sting of the electric wires and eventually fell into the bath water, "he said.
 
According to him, WEL-T was effective for pest sundep. Among farmers, pest sundep very harmful because the reproductive process is very fast and attack the rice plant.
 
"Violet rays is 800 feet radius, so that for one hectare of paddy fields need 12 pieces WEL-T, but if the pesticide is still more than 300 thousand-a-efficient, because the cost of making only Rp190 thousand, let alone the WEL-T is more environmentally friendly , "he said.
 
Not only attractive and inexpensive, innovative product exhibits a Java student will also lift the image of Indonesia, since most of the eight innovative work selected will represent Indonesia in entrepenuership in Japan
