Babies Born Small risk of Diabetes As Adults

Malnutrition during pregnancy and premature birth can make a child born Dengah small weights. This condition can be dangerous because it was born with weight less than 2.5 kg could increase the child is suffering from diabetes and heart disease as adults.

Why do low-weight babies can get diabetes?

According to Professor of Human Ecology Faculty of IPB, Prof Ir H Hardiansyah, MS., PhD, babies born with low weight would have a small internal organs. Internal organs finally make the child unable to meet the needs of his body.

"If a small weight, the pancreas is also small and imperfect, and is unable to meet the body's insulin needs. Moreover, usually the birth parents are forcing small children to get fat when it entered the age of children and adolescents. It is increasingly unable to make ends meet organ her body, finally yes risky dangerous diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and stroke, "said Prof. Hardiansyah, who is also General Chairman of Indonesian Food Pergizi," explained Prof. Hardiansyah, Monday (01/31/2011).

Babies with birth weight below 2500 grams (2.5 kg) including the low weight, whereas if the birth weight of less than 1,500 grams (1.5 kg) including the very low weight.

Factors causing the low-weight babies, among others, lack of nutrition during pregnancy, birth prematurely (premature) or because the pregnancy is indeed small.

"Lack of nutrition during pregnancy can make a child born with a small weight. If it weighs less than 2,500 grams, then when aged 35-45 years riskier get diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol, the so-saving package for further toward nature," explains Prof. Hardiansyah.

Prof. Hardiansyah said that the ideal birth weight is 2.5 to 3 kg. Babies born with excess body weight was not good, because in addition to endangering the health of the baby alone, babies born too large can harm the mother.

"Her mother was so quick experiencing bone loss, because during pregnancy the need for zinc, iron, calcium and other nutrients absorbed by the fetus," explains Prof. Hardiansyah.

To that end, Prof. Hardiansyah said that the human diet for pregnant women is extremely important, both for mother and baby who.

"Pregnant women should eat if you were satisfied. Beda with adults and elderly people who have stopped eating before feeling full, pregnant women should stop eating when he felt satisfied," concludes Prof. Hardiansyah.

Body thin Operation not Safe for Men

Operation thin body most frequently performed liposuction, but not the mounting ring that makes the stomach smaller stomach volume. But this operation was not safe for men because of the risk of impotence.

Conversely in women, even gastric surgery mounting ring provides a positive impact especially on women who have trouble urinating or beser. This operation makes female patients who previously beser be better able to control urine.

The findings are revealed in a study in the Austin Hospital, Melbourne. The study included no fewer than 100 male and female patients who undergo surgery in order to lose weight.

Mounting ring gastric surgery would make the stomach volume smaller and quicker to feel full.

In men, this operation was made more difficult to erect penis, especially in men who already have a problem since the beginning of impotence.

Quoted from Euroclinix.net, Saturday (01/29/2011), the researchers do not know exactly why these operations reduces the ability of the penis to erection. Also unconfirmed whether this effect is permanent or just temporary, because more research is done.

A clear gender seems to be very influential, because some male patients who also experience beser not feel any impact as well as in women. The patient's urine was still irregular and difficult to control.

Medical Malpractice, Negligence, and Accidents

Differences malpractice by omission is very thin. Some experts even argue negligence is malpractice. Anesthesia specialist doctors graduated from the Faculty of Medicine, Airlangga University, Anny Isfandyarie, author of Legal Responsibilities and Sanctions for Doctor, clarify differences of malpractice and negligence.

Malpractice
Actions doctor who deliberately violate the law, such as abortion, euthanasia (suicide demand), and gives a false certificate or its contents does not match the actual situation. Done consciously. Actors do not care about the result though known his actions violated the law.

Negligence
Unintentional actions, such as tertukarnya medical records, wrongly dissected, and forget to give information to patients. Of motive, doctors did not expect his actions arise as a result.

Medical Accidents
Unexpected events, actions are not intentional, the doctor had actually worked in accordance with professional standards and ethics of the medical profession, have to be careful, and consult with other specialists, if it is found that is not his forte. But there is also a result such as paralysis, disability and even death.

Automotive Workers Vulnerable Lung Cancer

The smokers, both active and passive, including the group most at risk of contracting lung cancer. Other groups are also prone to experience automotive workers who are often located in the garage. Why is that?

In addition to frequent inhaling exhaust emissions of motor vehicles, automotive workers are also faced with other materials that are not less dangerous in relation to cancer. Material in question is used as a layer of asbestos brake and clutch.

When the mechanical cleaning the drum and motor vehicle clutch home, dust and debris that asbestos fibers would be flying then inhaled. Asbestos dust can accumulate so that in the long term may increase the risk of cancer in the respiratory tract.

The risk could be even greater considering that most workshops do not have good air circulation. Recent data from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows, 66 percent shop in the United States have asbestos-contaminated air above the safe limit because they have no ventilation.

The use of asbestos by the automotive industry actually has been warned by the EPA since the 1970s, but the material is still in use today because the votes do something different. Of them more resistant to heat and more stable than other materials such as rubber and plastic.

Quoted from Seedol, Sunday (01/23/2011), type of lung cancer that is often plagued automotive worker is Malignant mesothelioma. This type of cancer attacks the thin layer that surrounds vital organs including the lungs and most are triggered by asbestos.

As with other types of lung cancer, early symptoms Malignant mesothelioma is often not detected. Before the already severe, automotive workers or anyone that intersect with asbestos dust should be checked out if it starts to cough or have other respiratory complaints.

How Long Does Flu Germs Survive Outside the Body?

Known flu germs spread easily in air and can infect anyone who has a weak immune system. But really how long this flu germs can survive outside the body?

To determine how long the flu germs can survive outside the body was varied and depending on where the droplets of liquid or air containing these germs fall.

As quoted from the Mayo Clinic on Wednesday (01/19/2011), some experiments showed a potential survival time of these flu germs from a few minutes to 48 hours or more depending on the surface of what the container fall of liquid droplets containing the virus. As for knowing how long these germs capable of infecting humans in everyday life is more difficult to resolve.

Researchers have repeatedly found that flu germs is generally on much longer if dropped on the surface of stainless steel, plastic or other hard surface, than if he fell on the cloth or a soft surface.

In addition, several other factors also affect how long the flu germs can remain active outside the body, such as the number of viruses that exist on the surface, temperature and humidity environment.

The important thing to note is that the flu virus spreads, especially when someone who is not infected had direct contact such as a handshake with an infected person. While other distribution occurred indirectly, such as rubbing the nose after handling an item that contains germs flu.

One of the best ways to avoid germs flu or a cold is frequent hand washing with soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Also try to stop the bad habit of rubbing his eyes or bite your nails.

Sleeping with the Lights Burning Increase Diabetes Risk

Turning off lights during night sleep not only saves electricity bills, but also good for health. Recent research shows that sleeping in a room brightly lit conditions can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes.

The study was conducted by Joshua Gooley, health experts from Harvard Medical School in Boston. In experiments conducted 5 consecutive days, the Gooley involving 116 participants aged between 18-30 years.

The participants were divided into 2 groups, one of which is conditioned to be in the room is brightly lit for 8 hours before bedtime. The other group was placed in a dim room with the same duration of 8 hours.

The result of examination of blood samples taken every 30 minutes showed the hormone melatonin production down 50 percent in participants who were in a bright environment. These hormones regulate related biological clock cycles between asleep and awake.

Besides triggering sleepiness, melatonin is also associated with some types of serious illnesses. Melatonin receptors located in nerve mentioned could increase the risk of cancer and type 2 diabetes if their activity is reduced.

"The study provides a big impact for night workers who are exposed to light throughout the night and then take a nap when the sun shines bright," Gooley said as quoted from HealthDay, Monday (17/01/2011).

However, Gooley can not explain with certainty the relationship between melatonin receptor activity with an increased risk of cancer and diabetes. The mechanisms that cause both new interconnected Gooley will be revealed in subsequent research.

Drinking Coffee Reduces Pain during exercise

Drinking coffee may be the last thing people think before exercise, but this drink turned out to help prevent the pain caused when exercising.

A study published in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise describing experiments conducted to prove it. One group of female respondents were given caffeine (in two different doses) and other groups were given drinks that do not mention sex one hour before exercise bike for 30 minutes. Muscle pain that occurs at the foot of the group who consumed caffeine was reduced by 33-46 percent.

"Caffeine blocks the chemical driving force of pain, called adenosine, and not depending on the dose," said study author, Robert Motl from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. However, it is said also that people who already drink a certain amount of caffeine every day may not be experiencing the effects of the removal of the same pain.

Drinking coffee before doing strength training can make you able to lift the load a little easier. The proof is done through other research methods. In a study published in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, described how 37 people were taking pills that do not mention the type, or supplement of caffeine equivalent to two cups of coffee as much as 236 ml. An hour later, after doing bench press, those who consume caffeine are able to lift weights 2.2 kg heavier than those taking pills.

"Caffeine can help you achieve better muscle activation, and it helps you lift more weight," said Travis Beck, leader of the study came from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln.

When done regularly, heavier strength training will produce more muscle mass and reduce body fat in total.

Lose 10% Weight Loss Can Minimize Risk 4 Illness

For people who have excess weight quickly perform a gradual weight loss. With an ideal weight is not only beneficial to the body shape. Because the lower 10 percent of excess body weight can reduce disease risk 4.

"No one can climb the mountain in one big step, but what is needed is a series of small steps until it reaches the top," said Travis Stork, MD, of the physical faculty of Vanderbilt Medical Center, as quoted from Menshealth.com, Friday (14 / 1 / 2011).

Stork said in making small steps such a person will get a very big impact in terms of appearance, health and also life. A British study called Counterweight Programme see the impact and strength of changes in body weight by 10 percent.

If someone is obese successfully eliminate 10 percent of their body weight then he would get benefits like:

1. Opportunities 31 percent lower risk of diabetes
2. Opportunities 20 percent lower risk levels of blood fats (cholesterol), high
3. Opportunities 25 percent lower risk of high blood pressure
4. Opportunities 21 percent lower risk of cardiovascular disease including coronary heart disease, heart failure, stroke and heart attack.


A study in 2009 which was published in The Lancet showed that normal weight is something that is expected someone to be able to live 10 years longer. Because it was the decade that needed someone to be able to relax with your husband or wife and be acquainted with his grandchildren someday.

"I do not want someone on a diet to lose weight, but rather refers to making food choices and activities and not on the meal plan restrictions that could be more dangerous," said Stork.

Stork revealed identical diet by restricting calories, which means lower metabolism in the body to determine the long badanjangka weight. On a diet will send signals to the body to slow the body's metabolism if starving and hold on to existing energy reserves.

What is even worse is if the person continuing food shortages will make the body burn muscle tissue as well as create increased visceral fat which thus becomes an enemy to the body.

For that drastic weight loss does not provide benefits for the body and health as well, but if done in stages that is equal to 10 percent of their body weight a person can get multiple benefits.

Good Habits to Maintain Heart Health

To be able to get a long life, the heart is one organ that absolutely must be kept healthy. Heart disorders can be deadly, so prevention becomes the wisest step to avoid sudden death from heart attack.

Holly Andersen, a researcher from the Ronald O Perelman Heart Institute in New York, explains some good habits that can be applied in everyday life for awake cardiac health. Starting from the trivial things such as walking up to find the vital numbers.

Quoted from Indiavision, Thursday (1/13/2011), the following good habits in question.


1.Know the vital figures
Before there was a problem with the heart, it's good to know the important numbers that are indicators of heart health. Among these are blood pressure, pulse rate, levels of total fat, cholesterol and triglycerides.

2. Walk
The flurry of activity that is always solid and should not be a reason for not exercising. Every now and then leave a private vehicle and walked toward the nearest bus stop to ride public transportation to the office. Simply by walking for 20-30 minutes a day, the risk of premature death from heart attack can be reduced by 50 percent.

3. Laugh as often as possible
Even if to just walk away just still hard to take the time, try to laugh more often. Speaking of burning calories, laughed uproariously for 15 minutes can be synchronized with the aerobics for 30 minutes. Laughter also suppress the release of the stress hormone cortisol, so that more blood pressure under control.

4. Note the waist circumference
The mistake that often happens is that people are too worried about weight, whereas the risk factors of metabolic syndrome and heart problems more precisely associated with waist circumference. Central obesity or belly fat fatty liver indicate that causes cholesterol levels difficult to control.

5. Enough sleep
Staying up late into the night not only makes the body feel tired the next day. Lack of sleep also can increase stress and blood pressure so that it can give a bad impact on heart health. It seems trivial but adequate rest is an important requirement that must be met if you want to live long.

Do Not Leave Breakfast If Won't Baldy

Different ways people do to prevent hair loss and baldness. But experts recommend some simple ways if you do not want bald, that is eating peanuts and do not leave the breakfast.

Good news for bald men who fear that scientists have discovered the cause of baldness, that is the gene that causes the failure of production and development of hair cells.

But unfortunately, there is no way of treatment that really works to overcome them. Moreover, while genes play a major role in hair loss, many men do not realize that their daily habits can aggravate the problem of baldness.

Dailymail Launched on Monday (1/11/2011), hair restoration surgeon from the UK to provide some simple steps to help reduce hair loss, namely:

1. Do not miss breakfast time
Hair consists of keratin, a substance that gave her strength. Too little protein will affect the level of keratin, causing hair to lose power and stop growing.

"Breakfast is the perfect time to increase the protein in the body, with foods such as fish, eggs, chicken, red meat," says Philip Kingsley, consultant trichologist.

2. Eating nuts
Lack of iron can cause hair loss. If you do not have enough iron, the ferritin levels will drop, which is an iron storage molecule in the body.

This in turn will interfere with normal hair growth and increases hair loss. Eat iron-rich foods such as nuts, red meat, dark green vegetables and dried fruits, this will help reduce excessive hair loss.

3. Stop smoking
Research shows that smoking can also trigger hair loss. This is because smoking can cause damage to blood vessels and damage the blood supply to hair follicles. So quitting smoking is one way to prevent baldness.

4. Relax
Have excess male hormones may not sound like a bad thing, but testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) can have adverse effects on certain parts of the hair follicle.

The hormone is absorbed into the hair shaft and causes hair to become thinner. After the hair to shrink, with a certain diameter will stop growing entirely. When men are stressed, your body will produce more hormones and tend to make hair fall out. So try to relax.

5. Do not comb out loud
Combing the hair with a hard to scratch the scalp and hair pulled out from the roots and damage the hair follicle. "It's important to treat your scalp gently while shampooing, and do not pull your hair with a brush or comb," said Dr. Bessam Farjo, hair restoration surgeon from Manchester.

6. Do not dye your hair
Studies also show that the dyes containing the chemical para-phenylenediamine (PPD) can cause severe allergic reactions and dermatitis, which can cause damage to the scalp and hair follicles.

When Men Stop Wet Dream?

Men can indeed continue to produce sperm until old age. But not with wet dreams erotic dreams under certain circumstances this can be stopped. When will men stop a wet dream?

In theory, wet dreams or erotic dreams that end with ejaculation experienced by men as a marker of the arrival of puberty. Wet dream signifies that the function of male reproductive system to produce sperm cells has been running.

Each period, sperm maturation and would have expelled naturally through wet dreams. Sperm can also be out before the time when men engage in sexual activities that end in orgasm for example, masturbation and intercourse (coitus).


Therefore, the frequency of wet dream would be reduced significantly if a man become sexually active. The more often men intercourse or masturbation, wet dreams will happen even more rarely can be stopped altogether if the sperm is always removed by force.

Dr David Delvin, reproductive health experts in Britain say most of the men most often experience a wet dream in their teens to 30s. The more parents will increasingly rare experience, although some men can routinely wet dreams until the age of the 70s years.



Because sperm production is never limited by age, basically a healthy male can have wet dreams at any age to pick her death. It's just that at a certain age, men will marry and become more sexually active so that by itself will decrease the frequency of wet dreams.

Sexual activity is not only to increase in married men, even if mostly bachelor men masturbate so rarely or never wet dream. In fact, according to research only 13 percent of men who ejaculated first through a wet dream, the rest are familiar masturbate before getting wet dream.

Some men troubled by wet dreams

Although the form of erotic dreams, the fact that not all men really enjoy the experience of wet dreams. At least, some men will complain when you wake up and find patches of sperm everywhere, including pants, and mattress.

"Nothing can be done to stop a wet dream except to increase sexual activity. If spotting sperm disturbing, use a pair of shorts and go get a tissue or small towel on the bed," says Dr Delvin as quoted from Netdoctor, Tuesday (01/11/2011 .)

Another reason that makes him feel uncomfortable when having a wet dream is the dream afraid of things that are considered taboo. For example, men who live in certain norms to be afraid of pressure wet dream because it was always dreaming of sex with same sex or with their own relatives (incest).

For this type of disturbance like this, Dr Delvin recommend consulted with a psychiatrist. Various therapies including hypnosis can be done to uncover the psychological issues behind the dream and fantasy that happens to control the subconscious.

When Ear Ringing Suddenly

Sudden ear ringing may often be experienced by some people. Although not severe, but this condition can be very annoying especially when you're busy activity. What cause?

The sudden ear ringing is known in the medical world with tinnitus, symptoms due to problems in the ear or brain. About 10 to 15 percent of the population in the world often experience this condition.

Tinnitus is a ringing or other type of sound that seems to come from the ear or head. In many cases tinnitus is not a serious problem, but rather a disorder that can eventually be overcome.

Although tinnitus is not no cure for various causes, but good care and treatment can help manage the condition.

Sudden ringing in the ears is often sounded like a phone ringing or other sounds such as hissing, whistling, buzzing or roaring. People who suffer from it can hear the sound ringing with high or low tone.


Reported by LIVESTRONG on Saturday (01/08/2011), tinnitus can occur for many reasons, among others:

1. Damage to the tiny hairs in the ear
2. Meniere's disease, namely disorders because of pressure of fluid
in the inner ear, usually accompanied by vertigo (headache seemed to revolve).
3. Overdose of drugs such as aspirin
4. Disorders of blood vessels in the ear
5. Hearing loss
6. Loud voice
7. The presence of infection in the ear


There is no specific treatment for tinnitus. Sometimes the disease goes away by itself or even the opposite is permanently disabled.

According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, in patients with chronic tinnitus, hearing aids, cochlear implants, and counseling can help improve the tone of voice and relieve tinnitus suffered.
