Discoveries in the Field of Health

Posted by Unknown Wednesday, February 20, 2013 0 comments
In the world of medical science, there are many discoveries that are beneficial to the future of medical science, so the need for it has become its own yardstick to deepen their knowledge in the field of health sciences.

Here are some amazing discoveries that contribute to the future of the health sciences and continue to be developed until now:


1. The discovery of vitamins
Vitamins are organic compounds that are required in the human body in very small amounts, usually less than 0.01 grams per day. Although only required in small amounts, but the vitamin is a compound that is very important (vital) for the human body does not mean that the vitamins contained in the body, then the body's health will suffer. Vitamins can only be obtained from outside the body, because the human body can not produce vitamins. With discoveries of vitamins, it can be used
humans to maintain health through the composition of a healthy diet and balanced.

2. The discovery of penicillin antibiotics
At the beginning of 1942, the British scientist Alexander Fleming reported that a substance produced by the fungus Penicilium named penicillin notatum possess the ability to kill disease-causing bacteria. Fleming noticed a petri dish set time he left. He found that colonies of Staphylococcus aureus that he scratched on a petri dish has been destroyed. Bacterial cell destruction occurred in areas adjacent to fungal contaminants that grow on a petri dish. He suspects that a product of the fungus to cause destruction Staphylococcal cells. The product is later named penicillin
contaminants such as fungus identified as Penicillium notatum.

3. Vaccine discovery

Vaccine was first discovered by Edward Jenner. Today, vaccines have been developed and refined by the application of biotechnology such as recombinant vaccines produced so that more pure and potent.

4. The discovery of monoclonal antibodies
Monoclonal antibodies can be produced by the method of techno biology. Monoclonal antibodies have advantages such as: highly sensitive, typical (specificity), and accurate. Monoclonal antibodies have contributed to perceived benefits especially in the areas of health research. Similarly, the widespread use of monoclonal antibodies for clinical trials including diagnosis and treatment to achieve a specific target cells.

Biggest Mistakes Doctors Experts About Liver Cancer

Posted by Unknown Friday, February 15, 2013 0 comments

Doctors at the National Taiwan Hospital recently shocked the world of medicine since the discovery of a case of a young doctor 37 years of age, who had great faith in the results of liver function tests (SGOT, SGPT), but Hari was the preparation of liver cancer known as positive mole stripe along the 10 cm.!



During this time, almost everyone is very dependent on the results of liver function index (index of liver function) .. They believe that if the test results were normal rate means everything OK ..

Misunderstandings of this kind was held by many medical specialists, absolutely shocking, physicians should provide adequate knowledge to the public, has no true knowledge.

Liver cancer prevention should be done the right way. There is no other way except to detect and treat it as soon as possible, so the doctor said Hsu Chin Chuan.

But, ironically, is that doctors treating liver cancer society also have a false, misleading and even, why is the leading cause of liver cancer is difficult to cure.

There are medical Hsu patient who complained last month that often experience abdominal pain and weight loss much. After the exam again Supersound found a very large liver cancer, almost 80% of the liver (liver) will be consumed.

The patient was very surprised: "How is this possible? Last year further medical examination and the results were normal. How is possible only within a relatively short period of one year from liver cancer can grow so big?"
It turns out that the check is only done to check liver function. The test results also showed "normal". Liver function tests are one of the most careful consideration of the elements known to the public. However, these elements are also the most misunderstood by our society (Taiwan because writers live there, but also includes people misunderstand Indonesia).

Generally, people think that if the results of liver function tests showed a normal number index means no heart problem.

But this view led to the emergence of sad stories about the loss of opportunity to detect early stage cancer since.

Dr. Hsu said SGOT and SGPT are the most common enzymes in the liver cells. If inflammation of the liver or because one or the other reasons that the liver cells die, SGOT and SGPT will end. This makes the content of SGOT and SGPT in blood increases.

But there is an increase in the number does not mean AST and ALT liver stiffness is not the case or the absence of liver cancer. For many individuals with liver inflammation, liver inflammation despite are stopped, but in the liver (hepatic) have been formed fibers and hardening of the liver. With the formation of hardening of the liver, it would be easier for liver cancer arises.

Furthermore, in the early stages of liver cancer, liver index will not increase. Because in times of cancer growth, only the cells surrounding the attack so damaged and die.

Since the damage is only on a small scale numbers SGOT and SGPT may still be in the normal range, for example, to not be an increase in height. But because many people do not understand this so that the result was a lot of sad stories.

The main causes of liver damage are:

1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are the main cause.

2. No bowel movement in the morning.

3. A diet that is too excessive (roast beef, satay, and fried / unhealthy cooking oil. Much as possible to reduce the consumption of cooking oil for frying, this includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. ...) Cooking fried should be consumed immediately, do not save it ..

4. Do not eat in the morning.

5. Too drugs or even drugs.

6 .. Excessive intake of preservatives, additives (flavor enhancer), dyes and artificial sweeteners.

7. Consumption of raw or cooked ½ ripe.

8. Smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke.

We must avoid this at no extra cost. Simply adjust your lifestyle and diet - day. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very necessary for our body to the absorption and elimination of substances that are useful according to the "program".

Cause:

Afternoon or 21:00 to 23:00: elimination of these substances is not useful / toxic (detoxification) in the antibody system (lymph nodes). During this time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music (preferably when you are sleeping). If at that time a housewife is still in a relaxed state, like washing dishes or watching children learn, this can have a negative impact on health.

23:00 to 1:00 afternoon or early days: during the detoxification process of the liver section, must take place in a state of deep sleep.

Ø Early morning 1:00 to 3:00: bile detoxification process section, also ran in a deep sleep state.

Early in the morning and 03 am-5: 00: lung detox section, as it will be a severe cough for cough sufferers dive this time. Because the cleaning process (detoxification) has reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to hinder the process wastewater .. To clean the smoking is done with the imperfect.

Tomorrow or 05 am-07: 00: colon detox, you have a bowel movement.

Ø 7:00 to 9:00 am: absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, should eat breakfast. For people who are sick should eat more in the morning, ie before 6:30 pk ... Breakfast before pk 07 ... 30 is very good for those who want to maintain their health. For those who do not eat breakfast hope to change this habit, breakfast even still better late until 9.10 pk not to eat at all.

10 things you need to ask yourself if you are thinking about having sex

Posted by Unknown Friday, January 25, 2013 0 comments
10 things you need to ask yourself if you are thinking about having sex ~  Most people have sex for the first time when they're 16 or older, not before. If someone’s boasting about having sex, it’s possible that they’re pretending. 

Although there's a legal age of consent, it’s not necessarily the right age for you to start having sex. There are no rules about how long you have to be going out with someone before you do it. Being ready happens at different times for everyone – don't decide to have sex just because your friends are pressuring you. You can read this whole page or go straight to the sections: 

It's your decision

You can always choose whether you want to have sex, whoever you're with. Just because you've done it before, even with the same person, doesn’t mean that you have to do it again. 
Working out whether you're ready is one of life’s big decisions. You're the only one who can, and should, decide. Whether you're thinking about losing your virginity or having sex again, remember the following tips.

Talking about sex

It’s better to have an embarrassing talk about sex than an embarrassing sexual encounter before you’re ready. There are lots of things to think and talk about, such as:
  • are you both ready?
  • will you be having sex for the right reasons and not because of peer pressure?
Sex isn’t the only aspect of a relationship, and there are other ways of enjoying each other’s company. Discuss what you want and what you don’t want to do. You can do other things that you both like, such as talking, meeting each other’s family and friends, going to gigs or the cinema, doing sport, walking, and listening to music. 

10 questions to ask yourself

You need to have the confidence to work out how you want to respond if sex comes up, and how far to go. Ask yourself if you feel comfortable. Is it the right time, in the right place, and with the right person? Do you really trust the person, and do you feel the same way about one another?
If you think you might have sex, ask yourself the following questions:
  • Does it feel right?
  • Do I love my partner?
  • Does he/she love me just as much?
  • Have we talked about using condoms, and was the talk OK?
  • Have we got contraception organised to protect against pregnancy? 
  • Do I feel able to say ‘no’ at any point if I change my mind, and will we both be OK with that?
If you answer yes to all these questions, the time may be right. But if you answer yes to any of the following questions, it might not be:
  • Do I feel under pressure from anyone, such as my partner or friends?
  • Could I have any regrets afterwards?
  • Am I thinking about having sex just to impress my friends or keep up with them? 
  • Am I thinking about having sex in order to keep my partner?
Being in a relationship doesn’t mean you have to have sex. Even if you’ve done it once or twice you still need to make sure that your boyfriend or girlfriend is as keen as you each time. 

Safer sex

When you decide to have sex, there's the possibility of pregnancy and/or catching a sexually transmitted infection (STI) such as chlamydia. Whoever you're thinking of having sex with, it's important to talk about contraception and condoms before you have sex. Both of you have a responsibility to have this conversation. 

Condoms

You need to use condoms to reduce the risk of catching an STI, whoever you are having sex with. If you're a boy/girl couple, you need to use an additional form of contraception to prevent an unintended pregnancy. 

Contraception

There are 15 different kinds of contraception, including the implant, injection, the combined pill and the progestogen-only pill. Most kinds of contraception are used by girls, but both of you have a responsibility to consider which you will use. A pregnancy will affect both of you. 

Lesbian, gay or bisexual couples

If you have lesbian, gay or bisexual sex you can still get or pass on STIs. You still need to know about contraception in case you have straight sex as well. Find out more about sexual health for women who have sex with women and for men who have sex with men.

How do I bring up the subject of safer sex?

Starting a conversation about the different types of contraception could be a good way to start talking about other issues to do with sex, such as how you feel about it and what you do and don’t want to do. You could try saying, "I found out that there are 15 different types of contraception…If we were to have sex, which one should we use?"
And researching the options together will help both of you feel more confident and in control of the situation. Find out about the 15 different kinds of contraception. 

You can get free and confidential advice about sex, contraception and abortion at any time. Visit your local doctor, community contraceptive clinic, sexual health or genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic (find your local services) or young persons clinic (call 0800 567 123) to find out more. 

Read the signs that they want sex

Many people are surprised when a situation leads to sex, so learn to read the signs. If someone suggests that you find a quiet place, or makes lots of physcial contact, or suddenly tries to charm and flatter you, they might be thinking about sex, even if you’re not.
You need to decide whether you want to have sex. Don’t let someone else decide for you by just going along with it. Make the decision in advance and stay in control of the situation, especially if you've had alcohol, because you'll be less inhibited.
If you’re not sure that you can stay in control, avoid situations that could lead to sex, such as going to someone’s room or somewhere quiet. 

Alcohol or drugs won't help

Many people have sex or lose their virginity when they’re drunk. After a few drinks, you're more likely to lose your judgement, and you may do things that you wouldn't do normally. You may regret your actions in the morning, and you won't be able to undo what you’ve done.
People are more likely to have sex without a condom when they're drunk. This can lead to an STI or unintended pregnancy.
Find out more about sex, alcohol and keeping safe.

Sex and the law

The law says that it's legal for you to consent (agree) to sex from the age of 16. If you're under 16, you can get confidential contraceptive and sexual health services, including abortions. You can get free condoms from some GPs, community contraceptive or young persons clinics, and Brook Advisory Centres.
If you're under 13, the situation is different because the law says that you can’t consent to sex at this age.
