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.
