From that research result is noted that for every 498 subjects who used statin on high dosage in a year, one person has the risk of getting diabetes compared to them used it on medium dosage.

But in the other side, researchers found the advantage that can be obtained from statin users group with high dosage. The group has lower possibility of getting cardiovascular compared to them who used statin properly.

Researchers think that doctors should evaluate back the wholly risk and the benefits of statin usage in order to ease the patients on facilitating safer cholesterol management.

Further research showed that the rats also experienced inflammation or reddening on the hypothalamus, the part of the brain that is consisted of nervous cells controlling the body weight. This inflammation ceased in a few days but “relapsed” four weeks later. Dr. Joshua Thaler, expert and researcher of Diabetes and Obesity Centre of Excellence at the University of Washington at Seattle, said that scientists also detected a respond of injury recovery in the brain called gliosis.

“Gliosis is considered similar with the scar recovery in the brain and especially seen in the nervous injury, like stroke and multiple sclerosis. We speculated that gliosis which we’d seen may be was a failed protection respond. We also detected the damage and apparent loss in the nervous cells that are very important for controlling the body weight,” said Thaler who presented his research in the 93rd annual meeting of The Endocrine Society’s at Boston.
He also added that the brain injury in the rats can be the possible consequence from the overeating of junk food and the fact explained why lowering down the weight can be difficult for the people with obesity problem.

Atax Blog — Sat, 26 Feb 2011 09:59:58 +0000

TORCH infection (toxoplasma, rubella, cytomegalovirus/CMV and herpes simplex) refers to infections group that can be transmitted from pregnant woman to her baby. Pregnant woman who gets infected by TORCH has high risk of transmitting it to her fetus and causes congenital defects. TORCH infection allegation can be proved through blood examination or screening. If the result is positive, or there is an active infection, doctor will suggest for diagnostic examination. Through the examination, doctor will take a little bit of amniotic fluid and check it on the laboratory.

Here are TORCH infection types:

1. Toxoplasmosis. This infection is being transmitted by parasite (protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii). The infection is transmitted from hot blood animals to human. According to Dr. Yuditia Purwosunu Sp. OG(K), this parasite enters to human body through foods. “The main source is unwell done meat or raw vegetables. Contaminated hands of toxoplasma can also become the transmission medium, if we don’t wash our hands before eating,” she said.

In primary maternal infection case that happens to pregnancy, the parasite can be transmitted from placenta and causes fetus defects, such as impaired vision or spontaneous miscarriage, although it has small possibility percentage.

2. Rubella Infection. This infection is also known as German measles and often suffered by children. 90% of women who suffer from Rubella infection in their first trimester of pregnancy might get blindness, deafness, heart abnormality, mental backwardness, and even miscarriage.

“Pregnant women are suggested to not to contact with people who suffer from German measles,” said Dr. Liliane G. Keros, immunology expert from Paris. To avoid this infection, women are suggested to take rubella vaccination. “The protection can reach 100%,” she said.

3. Cytomegalovirus (CMV). CMV is included in herpes virus family. This virus is transmitted through sexual contact or during pregnancy. The result of this infection can be fatal, because it causes fetus congenital defects. Unfortunately, there is still no medication to avoid this virus infection.

Cigarette Effect to Digestive Organs

Atax Blog — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 10:22:07 +0000

Smoking is dangerous, not just it relates to our lung and heart health but it also disturbs other organs in our body and one of the disturbed organs is digestive organs. Cigarette is one of factors that make over production of acid and gas in ulcer. The result of this condition is that you often feel nausea, flatulence and ache although you always eat on time. For people with ulcer, it is recommended that you leave smoking habit immediately because smoking can make more flatulence to your stomach and you will strongly get gastric injury. Cigarette also becomes the biggest risk factor for pancreatic cancer.

Many researchers on their researches have shown that smokers have three times bigger chance to get pancreatic cancer than non-smoker. Most of my patients who have pancreatic cancer are smokers. Why cigarette is dangerous? Perhaps all people have known what the answer is. It is definitely because cigarette smoke contains 4,000 chemicals including poisonous chemicals in a very small dose like DDT, Arsenic, tar, ammoniac, and many more.

Cigarette also contains carcinogens where carcinogens are the embryo or the beginning of cancer cell. For smokers who still continue smoking, I guess that you are ready to get not just pancreatic cancer but also many other types of cancers.

Be Aware with the Effect of Unhealthy Milk

Atax Blog — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 10:38:00 +0000

The benefit of milk as the supporting nutrition of health lately has been in doubt along with the many myths about milk; one of them is because it can cause cancer. Is that right?
This myth actually started from 1993 when the FDA approved the animal husbandry department in the United States to use growth hormone (rBGH) in cattle. The practice causes the milk production increased rapidly so that the price of milk could be pressed. But it also creates the controversy because of rBGH increases the concentration of insulin-like growth factor (IGF), hormone-related cancers, in the increasing of milk.

However, in contrast to steroid hormones that can be taken orally, rBGH and IGF must be injected to get the effect. It because of the digestion process will destroy this protein hormone. Therefore, drinking milk from cows given the hormone does not necessarily transfer the active ingredients of this chemical into body. In other words, rBGH and IGF can only cause cancer when injected directly into the human body.
Even so, because of the issue of ethics, now the practice of giving the hormone in cattle has been banned. Researchers from Canada have also found that the cows are given hormones are more susceptible to mastitis infections.

What about antibiotics in livestock feed? Some opinions say existing antibiotics in cattle body will settle in milk and meat. If consumed in a long time this will cause people who eat them become antibiotic resistant.
There is no scientist can be sure because no studies that prove it. If you are worried about the issues of this antibiotic, currently on the market are available the organic dairy products which are free from hormones and antibiotics. But maybe the price is relatively expensive.

Improving Your Knowledge about Cancer

Atax Blog — Sat, 04 Dec 2010 09:26:47 +0000

Upon hearing the verdict of cancer, many people seemed to hear the death knell. Cancer is the disease whivh is claimed as the most superior in killing age because the abnormal cells that grow out of control can be spread throughout the body and damage the normal cells around them.
Currently there are at least about 200 types of cancer. However, the characteristics of all cancers are the same, namely the growth and spread of the abnormal cells which is uncontrolled. Why cancer can develop in a person and not on others, it is not yet fully known.

The researchers speculate, 5-10 percent of cancers may be inherited. That is, the disease is inherited by one generation to the next generation through genes that are not normal. However, in most cases, the cancer develops through a complex series of steps that often include excessive exposure due to carcinogens (cancer causing substances), such as tobacco or the sun.
Carcinogen is believed in causing the formation of free radicals, which can damage the strands of DNA molecules which is carrying information on how to reproduce. Once there is DNA damage, cancer cells can be formed.
Therefore, one way to prevent cancer is reducing the exposure to anything that stimulates the formation of free radicals, including fat-rich foods, tobacco, and alcohol.
Cancer can be developed in several forms, namely:

Carcinoma
This is a cancer that come from the outside or within the body surface, such as skin cancer and colon cancer.

Sarcoma
Sarcoma is cancer that develops in the supporting tissues of the body, such as bone and muscle.

Lymphoma
Cancer called lymphoma when it comes from the lymph glands or lymph nodes and the immune system.

Leukemia

Addiction and Rehabilitation

Atax Blog — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 05:13:00 +0000

Either drug or alcohol addiction, there is no way that it would be good for you. There have been hundreds of thousands people suffering from this disease (let us call it a “disease” since addiction will cause damage to your body, including pain) and the number is getting bigger. What is used for our good turns out to be very harmful once we get addicted to it. Addicted people will find themselves in a very ill condition when their body demands another intake of the substance. They will be very weak both mentally and physically as they cannot think clearly and act responsibly. The substance shuts down their logics and disables their physical strength. In this very situation, the addicts will be craving for the drug and alcohol, even though they actually want to quit it. Thus, they will certainly need our help and it is our responsibility to support them.

Sending them to drug and Alcohol Rehab centers would be a good step. But then, it is not the first you should do. The primary thing, and most important one, is getting them ready mentally. We can only get rid of addiction when we have a strong motivation. It is only we who can save ourselves. So, self-motivation should be built before entering to medical treatment such as Drug Detox . Once they are ready, it is recommended that they enroll themselves in a detoxification program usually carried on by rehabilitation centers. Self-detoxification is dangerous because it cause unbearable pain to the subject. Quick detoxification is also available and seems to be the option many people are keen on. However, this too, is dangerous because it forces the body to work hard while it is already weak since the addiction. The usual, careful, and fact-based detoxification is safer and certainly better.

You can get information about rehab centers from the internet. One of the best choices is the Tennessee Drug Rehab in La Paloma Center. They provide thorough treatment of drug and alcohol addiction involving mental and physical related curing programs. Once a patient is through detoxification, there will be Residential Drug Rehab whose aim is to get the person ready to go out living in a real world just like they used to be before the addiction. Finally, always be aware of chemical substance because they can take you out your real life. There is no use to abuse drugs, you will still live happily without it.

Atax Blog — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 17:12:00 +0000

Low weight for a baby could be seriously impacted. one of them is death. protein contained in cow’s milk was nutritious reduces the blood infections that can lead to death of low weight babies less than 1.5 Kg.

findings of the “Journal of the American Medical Association” was mentioned, low weight babies who were given milk protein lactoferrin with probiotic bacteria during the first week since the birth reduces the risk of sepsis (blood infection) significantly.

according to Dr.paolo Manzoni, experts neonatology in S.anna hospital, Turin, Italy, to prevent sepsis in newborns can be done with a simple, inexpensive, can be tolerated by the infant, and can be done in all countries, including poor countries.

however, isolated protein from cow’s milk is called “bovine lactoferrin,” use not approved in the United States. it is of course regrettable Dr.David Kaufman, researchers and experts in neonatal care “University of Virginia medical school.” he said, many premature babies can not survive because of infection. He hoped bovine lactoferrin is approved soon so that more babies can be saved.

Manzoni said, since bovine lactoferrin is naturally found in cow’s milk, the researchers did not question the safety aspect in the long run. lactoferrin is also contained in breast milk, but for reasons of concentration and should be genetically engineered, of course more expensive.

conclusion that the importance of “bovine lactoferrin” obtained based on research of 472 infants born in italy weighing less than 1.5 kg. Generally, infants with low weight or very low, too premature.

these infants were divided into 3 groups. the control group who received
placebo, the group that received 100 mg of bovine lactoferrin and bovine group receiving lactoferrin and the probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG. the addition of probiotics is believed to enhance anti-bacterial properties and anti-fungal of lactoferrin. continued therapy for 30-day low weight babies and infants 45 days to a very low weight.

incidence of sepsis (after 72-hour-old baby) in the control group as much as 17.3% and 5.9% in the lactoferrin group. in the lactoferrin and probiotic group, incidence of sepsis is only 4.6%.

Kaufman noted, with increasing dose and duration of therapy, the results certainly better. He explained, in infants with low weight, gastrointestinal system has not formed perfectly, making it easier for bacteria to move from the digestive tract into the bloodstream, causing infection. lactoferrin helps to kill bacteria and fungi, in the stomach and gastrointestinal tract.

this will make the mucosal layer of the gastrointestinal system is stronger and prevent the bacteria from the intestines move into the bloodstream. providing bovine lactoferrin, added Manzoni, also can reduce the use of antibiotics.
