Why Fever After Children Vaccinated?

Some children often experience fever after the injection of the vaccine. As a result, some parents decide not to vaccinate, for fear that the fever will hit. Causes fever fussy child, resulting in disturbed his rest.

In fact, according to the Immunization Task Force Chairman Indonesian Pediatric Association (IDAI), Prof.. DR. dr. Sri Sustenance Hadinegoro.demam after the vaccine should not worry parents.

"That should not worry about the consequences of the vaccine. Attacks Haemophillis influenza type B (HiB), for example, can lead to pneumonia, meningitis, to disability," said Sri.

Fever after a vaccine, she said, is caused by the body's reaction to the toxin that has been weakened germs that enter the body. Sri exemplifies the DPT vaccine often causes fever. "40 percent of DPT vaccine causes fever. This is due to the toxins of the pertussis vaccine. Parents can choose the vaccine does not cause a fever," she said.

Sri explain further, DPT vaccine consists of two types. Whole cell DPT vaccine with a small letter W on the letter P, indicating the vaccine cause fever. This is because the entire cell kumam included in the vaccine, including toxins.

The second type is the DPT vaccine with a small letter A on the letter P. The letter A stands for acellular. That is, the content of the toxin is not there so that the child is free of fever.

Regardless of the type of vaccine, Sri said parents should not worry. "The important thing is make sure the healthy children before the vaccine. However parents need to worry if the child had seizures before the vaccine," she said.

To determine the condition of the child, Sri advise parents to consult with your doctor first. Sri also suggested parents provide a fever-reducing medicine such as paracetamol in the cupboard. But when the fever did not go down well after 2-3 days, should be immediately taken to the doctor.

InggrisBahasa IndonesiaArab Developed, Medicinal Herbs Resolve Hepatitis C

Treatment for hepatitis C is done with drugs whose prices are quite expensive. Meanwhile, the trend of getting back to nature who makes flaming pharmaceutical industry benefit from herbal innovation as a treatment of this disease.

"By using herbs, hopefully increasing the price of drugs can be pressed," said Executive Director Dexa Laboratories of Biomolecular Sciences (DLBS) PT Dexa Medica Raymond R. Tjandrawinata DLBS speaking after the inauguration event, Tuesday (20/08/2013) in Cikarang, West Java.

Raymond says, certain bioactive fractions from plant crown god (Phaleria macrocarpa) can be a potent hepatitis C virus drug. Currently, the drug is still being developed by researchers at DLBS.

Hepatitis C is a disease of inflammation of liver cells caused by infection with the hepatitis C virus (VHC). Hepatitis C among those with chronic illness, but can be cured with treatment.

Raymond explained that certain bioactive fractions from the crown god has the ability to prevent cystic posed by VHC. To prevent fibrosis, the fraction is also able to prevent inflammation of the liver.

According to Raymond, the principles of modern pharmacology, the materials can be used as medicinal herbs with equal effect even better than synthetic drugs (chemicals). "With the rise fractionation process, it is possible to simply take the activated substance from a natural material shall not be defeated until the usefulness of synthetic drugs," tuturnya.

Herbal medicine, he added, has a level based on the process that has dilewatinya. When only through the process of extraction medium, then still categorized medicinal herbal remedy. Furthermore, after passing through preclinical testing, the category increased to Medicinal Herbs Standardized, and if it passes clinical trials, herbal remedy called Phytopharmaca.

"We are developing herbal ingredients, including crown god, to head up to Phytopharmaca," said Raymond.

The use of medicinal herbs as raw materials, according to Raymond, it may suppress drug production costs compared to using raw materials imported chemical drugs. This is what makes even sale price is much cheaper.

"For some specific medication, even herbal drug prices from only 10 persennya chemical drug prices. Whereas the same quality," he recalls.

Caffeinated drinks Reduce Liver Fat

Caffeinated drinks such as tea or coffee has many benefits, even if excess will give effect otherwise. But for people suffering from heart disease perlemakan non alcoholic (NAFLD), routine consumption of caffeinated beverages to four cups per day thus can help reduce fat in the liver.

After analyzing various cell cultures, the original researchers Duke University School of Medicine found, originating from drinking caffeine could stimulate the liver fat dismantling.

Test in mice as they do already shows similar results. Rats fed a high-fat diet decreased the risk of heart perlemakan when given a total of caffeinated beverages.

Once the amount is converted to humans, the researchers recommend to consume caffeine a total of four cups of tea or coffee use combat NAFLD. The disease is a common complication of obesity that its true due to the accumulation of fat in the liver. NAFLD occurs mainly in people who drink little or no alcohol.

One of the study investigators Dr. Paul Yen says, this is the first study that describe the mechanism of action of caffeine on liver fat. "The result is very interesting," he said.

Tea and coffee, more yen, while this has a bad reputation for health, but I have a good drug effect.

Study that was published in the journal Hepatology is grounded previous study results. The study mentions drinking four or more cups of coffee per day increases the risk of premature death. Though caffeine is also known to have many health benefits.

Yen and his teams have already said, principled treatment of caffeinated beverages on leveraging the positive aspects and reduce its negative effects.

Do not shortchange Nutrition in Eggplant

Despite the fact eggplant in the fruit, but the Indonesians classify eggplant into vegetable matter. The special purple color and simple stylized make much preferred eggplant. Besides taste, rich nutrition eggplant turns.

Raw eggplant contains very few calories, so even with a saturated fat content and sodiumnya. Eggplant can be an alternative source of fiber to maintain digestive health.

Additionally eggplant also contains vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, folate, potassium, and manganese. Other important nutrients in eggplant is known antioxidants such as nasunin will protect cell membranes in the brain.

When treating eggplant, you should not peel the skin because it will add fiber content so you feel full longer.

If all this were made into more eggplant vegetable coconut milk, stir-fry or balado, occasionally you can roast eggplant or making pizza toppings. We recommend that you do not fry the eggplant because it can reduce the rate of nutritional

In people who go on a diet, fats can not be abandoned. Body digest fats will help suppress ghrelin, the hormone that makes us feel hungry, and simultaneously trigger the release of peptides that make us feel satisfied and full.

Fat in adequate amounts is also required to press glycemic index foods until we feel full longer.

Without fat, the skin becomes dry, hair becomes dull, and increased cholesterol levels if you consume more carbohydrates instead of fat.

However, preferably selected fat is unsaturated fat found in cooking oil made ​​from grains such as corn, peanut, soybean, olive, and sunflower seeds. More good fats among others omege-3, found in fish and avocado fruit.

The cooking oil is widely used in Indonesia for palm oil and coconut oil. Both are sources of saturated fat. Other sources of saturated fat should be reduced among others fat lard, organ meats, butter, milk, and all kinds of cakes and tarts made ​​from lots of eggs and butter.

Nevertheless the recommended amount of fat consumed per day should still be limited. In a balanced diet recommendations, the fat is in the peak of the pyramid, which means very little amount of use.

routine make love making rich?

If you're expecting a rise in production, you probably do need more sexual activity with a partner. According to a study, people who have sex four times a week have higher production than those who do not.

Routine is the key to living healthy make love, so people will do it more healthy and able to work better. This may be the increase of their production.

Study author Dr. Nick Drydakis, economics professor at Angelia Ruskin University said, people need to love and be loved by others. The inability to do this need to make people tend to feel lonely, anxious, and depressed so as to affect their work performance.

"People need to meet basic needs such as eating, drinking, sleeping, and sex before they can be successful in employment and other aspects of life," tututnya.

Drydakis and her team analyzed data from 7,500 people aged between 26 and 50 years. They ask about health status, sexual activity, employment and production status of the participants.

Revealing study, participants who have sex more than four times a week you've earned five percent higher than those who do less. The study also found, people who do not have sex at all you've earned three percent lower than those who do.

Studies but also involves other factors such as education and profession to conclude that.

Nevertheless, Drydakis say, the relationship between regular sex with no apparent increase in production. Reason, both can mutually cause. For example, high-income people could be more interesting to be able to partner more menggaet love.

5 Ways to Reduce the Display BPA

Bisphenol A or BPA is known by a chemical used to make plastics. This substance is also found in the lining of food and beverage cans.

2. Limit canned food

Around 200 years ago cans made to preserve food and reduce the weight of the food container making it easier sent to troops in remote places. Despite the creation of amazing cans, but the cans actually keep danger.

In the manufacturing process called migration cans, BPA in the lining of cans and can fade in the food, especially liquid food such as soup or sauce.

3. Choose a platform nonplastik

There are many alternatives to substitute plastic container, such as porcelain, ceramic, wood, perselen, or stainles. Most of the ingredients are safe if heated and durable. In addition, replace plastic products with a more durable container can save costs and protect the environment.

4. Use the new

Do not use plastic bottles are scratched. If plastic bottles are made with BPA, scratches can cause the release of these chemicals. Besides a small scratch can also be slit to breed bacteria.

5. Do not heated

Women More Vulnerable Blindness Old Age?

Possibility of blindness due to retinal damage increases with age. Retinal damage associated with the age also known as macular degeneration. But in addition to age, sex factors apparently also played a role in this regard.

"Women are more prone to macular degeneration," said Dr. Elvioza, SPM, from the Division of Vitreo-Retina Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (RSCM) in a media briefing in Jakarta, Thursday (08/01/2013).

He said, though did not show a causal relationship between the two, but the incidence of macular degeneration in women more than men. This is what makes the experts conclude, women are more vulnerable experience.

Once traced, he added, women are more prone to macular degeneration due to hormonal changes in women weighing more powerful men. Especially, for women towards menopause phase, namely the cessation of the menstrual cycle. Menopause typically occurs in women aged 50-60 years.

"Menopausal women are usually susceptible to certain diseases, such as coronary heart disease, and other vascular disorders. So do not be surprised if more are also susceptible to macular degeneration," said a doctor who also practiced at the Jakarta Eye Center.

Macular degeneration is also indirectly influenced by the health of blood vessels. Good blood flow to the eye area will maintain retinal function remained good. Conversely, if there is a blockage of the flow, there will be bleeding and damage to the retina.

To avoid this, Elvioza advised to minimize the risk factors for this disease. "Gender, heredity and age are factors that can not be avoided, but there are also risk factors that we can change," he said.

Risk factors that can still be modified, added, such as smoking and alcohol consumption, obesity, and unhealthy eating. Principle, by minimizing risk factors, the probability of developing the disease are also getting smaller.

In addition, it is also important to keep the effort to protect themselves from exposure, such as wearing protective glasses every being in the sun.

Diabetes and Hypertension Causes Blindness in Old Age

Diabetes and hypertension have so many complications. In addition to stroke, kidney failure, impotence, and other organ disorders, diabetes and hypertension also increases the risk of blindness by a disease called macular degeneration.

Division staff vitreo-retinal specialist dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo (RSCM) dr Elvioza, SPM says, diabetes and hypertension are essentially damage blood vessels throughout the body, not to mention the eye. Therefore, blood flow to the eye becomes blocked, even bleeding.

In fact, he added, the eye is the organ with the highest blood flow of organs other than the kidney. In addition, blood vessels in the eye tend to be small so susceptible to damage.

According Elvioza, the eye is also the most sensitive organ to sense changes in their health. "The eye function to see. People tend to be more aware if there is a disruption in their vision," he said during a discussion in Jakarta, Thursday (01/08/2013) yesterday.

Macular degeneration is a disease of blindness caused by macular damage to the eyeball. Commonly known as the macula or yellow spots that serve to filter out damaging rays of the eye by binding free radicals emitted by blue light. This disease is a cause of blindness in the elderly.

Symptoms of this disease are being blurred vision, distortion of vision, blind spots or feel there is a blind spot on the overall vision, and color of the object that looks to be more faded.

Elvioza said, which need to be considered by people with diabetes and hypertension is to always keep the sugar levels and blood pressure. Because if allowed to remain high, it will speed up the process of destruction of blood vessels and increase the likelihood of blindness.

Moreover, he added, is also required examination of other organs at risk for complications of the disease. One of the necessary inspections are eye health examination, including the early detection of diseases such as macular degeneration.

And other efforts to prevent blindness is to maintain a healthy lifestyle such as quitting smoking, losing weight, and eating foods rich in lutein and zeaxantin pigments which are antioxidants.

In addition to macular degeneration, diabetes also have an increased risk of complications mentioned other eye disease is diabetic retinopathy. On the disease, also damage the eye's retina that leads to blindness.

Suddenly body bruise? It causes

Bruising is a type of injury that occurs when the body parts hit something hard. Generally, when we hit the legs or arms will feel pain followed by bruising.

But have you found bruises that come suddenly occur without ever getting hit? Maybe you're experiencing interference susceptible to bruising, so a touch of it was able to make a bruise on your skin. If blood clots do not go well, the results you were prone to bruising.

Here are some reasons why you bruise easily approached.

1. Less vitamin K

Vitamin K plays an important role in the blood clotting process. If you are deficient in vitamin K, then your body will be susceptible to bruising. Bruising occurs due to bleeding under the skin. When bruising occurs easily, then that inhibited blood clotting.

2. Less platelet

When the body is unable to produce platelets in sufficient quantities, then maybe you can easy bruising. When the body is weakened by illness, is generally reduced platelet production, thus inhibiting blood clotting. To increase the number of platelets, you can consume orange juice, or other fruit and vegetables.

3. Blood Cancer

At the time of sudden bruising with bleeding in the nose, gums, and other body parts, it's probably one of the symptoms of blood cancer. On blood cancers, increases the production of white blood cells which leads to a deficiency of platelets. With platelet count is low, blood clotting problems arise.

4. Genetic Disorders

Is a genetic blood disorder such as thalassemia and heamophilia can make you bruise easily. Because it is genetic, then this blood disorder can not be cured. But you can be more careful so as not easily bumped.

Lead researcher Dr Joshua Zimm, surgeon of Lenox Hill Hospital and Manhattan Eye, Ear, Throat Institute said, hope a lot of people in doing plastic surgery is to look more attractive, but the results of the study indicate otherwise.

"We found that plastic surgery will only give the look more fresh and energetic, but it is certainly not more attractive," he said.

The study involved 50 people who did not know each other for ages and asked to guess the attraction to each other is subjective. The participants were men or women aged 42 to 73 years. They perform plastic surgery between 2006 and 2010 with a firming treatment face, neck, eyelids, and eyebrows.

They were asked to vote via display the images before and after plastic surgery. The face Photo taken preoperatively and six months postoperatively. The participants were asked not to wear any makeup during take pictures and do not use additives in cosmetic surgery, such as botox injections or laser skin repair.

As a result, the average of the participants after the surgery to get educated guess age three years younger. However, no significant additional scores for their attractiveness.

Nevertheless, the results of the study emphasize the Zimm is not a final conclusion. This is because the participants passed a new kind of plastic surgery.

Dr. Laurie Casas, a surgeon from Chicago, who was not involved in the research, said the study results are not relevant when applied in real life. Because the study only based on a subjective assessment of the participant that is not a definite frame of reference.

"Before the start of plastic surgery, there is a very complex process because of the perception of beauty should be evaluated by the surgeon and the patient," he said.

Healthy Food Causes Obesity Also, if ...

Eating unhealthy food in large quantities and high in calories can cause weight gain and health problems.

However, the latest findings of experts from Loyola University shows that eating healthy food in large quantities could potentially hinder any weight loss program and lead to obesity.

Brooke Schantz, RD, CSSD, an expert dietitian at Loyola University Medical Center, noticed that many patients are surprised when they increase the consumption of whole grains and fruits tend to experience difficulties in weight loss efforts.

"It's not a complicated theory. When the body mengasup too many sources of energy that is needed there is a tendency to increase weight. In fact, when healthy foods are consumed once did, "said Schantz.

"You need to pay attention to the daily calorie intake and started to refrain from overeating," Schantz added, as quoted by Bodybuilding.

Person's tendency to give themselves the freedom to eat healthy foods in excess is the beginning of the difficulty of controlling weight.

Especially if the food consumed in packaging written "low fat" or "fat free", then no need to think long they will eat them in large quantities.

2-4 servings of fruit per day

Most people eat more food than what is recommended by health experts. You've heard the suggestion to increase the consumption of fruits and vegetables if you want to lose weight. However, the problem is when this comes recommended then someone will be more permissive and consume more than recommended.

Seeing this condition, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued a recommendation fruit intake as much as 2-4 servings of fruit a day to help get the ideal body weight as well get the benefits of eating healthy fruits.

Complete with vegetables

If you're looking for a more complete nutrition and good for heart health and help you lose weight, then you can fill with veggies. Vegetables have more vitamins, minerals, and anticancer agents.

Green vegetables are a source of nutrients that contains vitamins A, C, E, K, B, minerals and fiber. Chlorophyll content can help transport energy and oxygen to the body's cells.

Leafy greens are also rich in iron which is essential for the production of red blood cells and prevent anemia. Karotenoidnya womb is one powerful weapon to protect the body from the development of cancer cells.

new dad sex drive is lower

It was not just new moms who have babies who are less eager to make love, the fathers also feel the same way.

Fatigue and stress after the birth of the reason for the sexual arousal of the new mom and dad. In addition, the fathers also considered busy taking care of babies reduce their time to make love.

"The new father, as well as a new mother, also had a high sex drive and low after childbirth," says lead researcher Sari van Anders, women and researchers in the field of psychology.

High sex drive that was not derived from the desire to make love but rather on the needs of intimacy. While the low interest in sex was caused by fatigue, stress, busy wife and baby care.

Previous studies focused on the effect of sex drive and low birth mothers. Van Anders in this study also revealed the same effect on the father.

Infant care factors and the need for intimacy and closeness with a partner is considered a large effect on the father's sexual arousal. While the mother's hormonal factors play a considerable part.

Major changes in the family, such as the presence of the baby, do require parental adaptation.

Research also shows that sexual activity often done by men after the birth of a baby is masturbation or oral sex.

Approximately 74 percent of men admitted to masturbating in the first five weeks after their wives give birth, and 58 percent chose oral sex. Only 34 percent of vaginal penetration at that period of time.

Eating Fish While Pregnant Not Related to Autism

Children who are exposed to mercury while in the womb in low doses, such as from fish eaten by his mother, it turns out not to increase the risk to develop autism.

Conclusions are drawn based on the study for 30 years in the Republic Sychelles, the area around the Indian Ocean. Population in these countries on average consume 10 times more fish than the fish that eat the Europeans and the United States.

Research involving children of mothers who ate 12 servings of fish per week during pregnancy. Reveals no link between mercury exposure during pregnancy and the emergence of developmental disorders such as autism.

"The results of this study strengthen the evidence that exposure to chemicals that do not play a strong role in the occurrence of autism in children," said Edwin van Wijngaarden, researchers from the University of Rochester Medical Center, New York, USA.

Exposure to mercury can occur from natural sources in the environment, such as volcanic eruptions, or from the results of power plant waste. Most of the mercury accumulated in the oceans, so that these chemicals enter the human food by fish.

The fish itself is a source of protein, vitamin E, and omega-3 fatty acids are very good for brain development. However, mercury levels in fish are generally low.

Concerns about fish consumption will increase the risk of autism originated from research that says exposure to high levels of mercury associated with developmental disorders.

Agency U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently also recommends that pregnant women limit their consumption of fish. Although so far the effects of low-dose mercury exposure is not known.

"Although the Seychelles population fish consumption is higher than other countries, but the levels of mercury in fish is still considered to be low," said Philip Davidson, researchers.

Therefore, the researchers say pregnant women need not worry to consume fish.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Causes of Difficult Women Pregnant

There are many causes of trouble in a woman pregnant. But the one that quite often happens is that polycystic ovary syndrome (polycystic ovary syndrome / PCOS).

PCOS is a hormonal imbalance levels. In this syndrome woman's body produces male hormones (androgens) excessively. Consequently face more oily and excessive hair growth, especially in the hands and feet.

The main symptoms of PCOS are menstrual disorders. Almost all women with this syndrome do not experience having normal menstrual schedule when teenagers, and some even stop menstruating altogether.

Most women realize they are suffering from PCOS in young adulthood or around their 20s, when they disrupted menstrual cycle or not menstruation. PCOS can also cause difficulty conceiving.

Women with PCOS are also commonly suffer from obesity and baldness on the crown of the head. This syndrome can also increase the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.

Weight loss is highly recommended to reduce insulin levels and hormone androgen.

Doctors do not know the exact cause of this syndrome, but research shows this is related to insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas that mengantur transport sugar from the blood into body cells.

Although there is no drug that can handle this syndrome but low-dose hormonal contraceptives can cope with menstrual cycle disorders and hair growth on the body. Consult with your doctor to find the right treatment.

6 Signs Recognize Stress in Women

Stress has a way of showing itself in a typical person. These symptoms are easily recognizable and strange sometimes, because it appears at a given time.

"Women often have few physical signs when exposed to stress," says Nancy Molitor Ph.D., a psychiatrist from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. Recent research found that stress and other negative emotions related to poor physical condition. This condition occurs in 15 thousand people in 142 countries.

Stress and emotional condition stimulates the body to produce a hormone called cortisol. This hormone will disrupt the immune system, digestion, nerves, and muscles. However, symptoms often make emotional increased. As a result, open serious risk of obesity, depression and heart disease.

Here's a sign of stress that can be recognized

1. Stomach ache

Gastroenterologist, Bincy Abraham, M.D. from Baylor College of Medicine explains, the brain nervous system associated with digestion. As a result, mental stress can result in digestive tract includes the stomach and intestines.

Doctors can prescribe painkillers, anti-vomiting, or changes in diet. Eat plenty of fiber can relieve abdominal pain due to stress, by stimulating the production of good bacteria.

The best treatment is exercise. Exercise stimulates endorphins that make the mind and better digestion.

2. Hair loss

Three to six months after the attacks of stress, usually found more hair loss or dry than usual. Said to be normal if the loss of more than 100 per day.

Dermatologist Robert Segelmann MD of Santa Barbara California said, increased androgen production during stress lead to hair loss over time. During this last condition, it is advisable to eat a nutritionally balanced. This intake helps cells repair themselves quickly.

3. Twitch

These symptoms can occur in one eye for a few minutes. Stress is a common cause. Although doctors are not sure about the cause.

When twitch, you should immediately close your eyes, relax and breathe deeply. Breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 7 seconds, and exhale for 8 seconds. Repeat for 4 times, and use your fingertips to press the eye twitch.

Twitch can also form the symptoms of dry eye. Anna sumers of the American Academy of Ophthamology suggests, the use of eye drops to overcome.

When twitch continued to other parts of the body, should immediately kinjungi doctor. Stress can cut off the immune system, and cause temporary skin damage.

4. Pimple

Just as hair, Sengelmann stated, the skin is also sensitive to increased androgen production. Should immediately visit a dermatologist, if the condition has continued. Prolonged inflammation can lead to injury.

Treatment of oral, topical, and could abolishing soap bacteria that cause acne. Treatment can also open pores close again. During healing, be sure to use make-up, moisturizer, or sunscreen is noncomadogenic.

5. Backache

Hormone produced during stress along with blood pressure and heart rate will make the muscles tighten. "When the last greeting a long time, chronic stress can lead to pain," said Joanne Borg-Stein, MD of Harvard's Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital.

Move or exercise to be the best treatment. When his back was ill advised stand and stretch. Examples of movement is stretching his arms above his head, touch your toes, and rotate the shoulders and neck. When the need to walk 10-15 minutes around the office, one or two times a day.

6. Rash

Stress can also cause rashes on the skin. Stress can affect the immune system. If the lower the immune system, the skin becomes more sensitive. Resulting in conditions such as eczema.

Use a moisturizer without fragrance can petrify the healing process. "If it does not help and accompanied by fever or sweating, you should see a doctor immediately," said Sengelmann.

This is the cause of "Hot Flashes" in menopausal women

Hot flashes or hot flushes up sweating often occurs in women who headed the age of menopause. The researchers say, hot flashes actually controlled by a specific area of ​​the brain.

Vaibhav Diwadkar, the researcher who is also professor of psychiatry and neurosciences at Wayne State University says, has found changes in brain activity that marked the beginning of the occurrence of hot flashes. "Activity in the particular area of ​​the brain to change even before the hot flashes happen," he said.

The findings, published in the journal Cerebral Cortex may provide some way for experts to proper handling of menopause. Diwadkar said, in the future the experts can determine the effectiveness of treatment of menopause by measuring brain activity.

Menopause or the end of the menstrual cycle in women often provide unpleasant symptoms, such as insomnia, fatigue, and hot flashes. These symptoms occur due to hormonal changes and drastic happened while.

In this study, Diwadkar and his team performed an analysis of 20 postmenopausal women aged 47 to 58 years. The women experience hot flashes as much as six times or more each day. Then they examined the brain activity of the brain scanner, while their bodies are in the heating machine to trigger hot flashes.

The researchers found, there is a special activity in the brain stem that makes the occurrence of hot flashes. The brain stem connects the hemispheres of the cerebellum with the spinal cord. The parts involved in the regulation of body temperature.

And hot flashes also involves insula activity, the front of the brain. In this section, the perception created something that felt personal and the human body.

Diwidkar said, researchers have long suspected there was something going on in the brain at the onset of hot flashes. But he was quite surprised, because the activity occurred even earlier, before the advent of hot flashes.

Professor at the University of Melbourne Australia Robin McAllen says these findings are very useful because it can reveal the initial activity in the brain before the onset of hot flashes. However, further studies are needed to find the neural pathways that trigger hot flashes.

Hot flashes during this dealt with hormone therapy and antidepressant medication intake. In addition, diet also helps relieve it. Foods that trigger the spicy foods, caffeinated beverages, and smoking.

Dangers of Too Low Blood Sugar in diabetes

Blood sugar is too low (hypoglycemia) in people with type 2 diabetes are known to make a limp, and if left unchecked will lead to fainting and death. A new study says, hypoglycemia is also associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

The researchers say the lack of proper glycemic targets in diabetes makes them susceptible to blood sugar levels are too low. Hyperglycemia is often categorized as a medical emergency.

Hypoglycemia can occur in diabetics receiving insulin or glucose lowering drugs that potentially cause the blood sugar is too low. Late eating or exercise and work sudden weight without reducing the number of medications or without any additional meals can also trigger hypoglycemia.

Signs of hypoglycemia include sudden unusually hungry, cold sweats, and chest pounding. If not addressed, then the awareness will decrease.

Studies showed no association between hypoglycemia with cardiovascular disease risk. However, this relationship is still considered controversial. In this study, researchers from the United States, Japan, and the Netherlands analyzed six studies involving more than 903 000 with type 2 diabetes.

The study, published online in BMJ.com reveals, as much as 0.6 to 5.8 percent of patients experienced hypoglycemia after one to five years later. Overall, as much as 1.56 per cent of these patients suffering from cardiovascular disease.

According to the researchers, hypoglycemia associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease as much as two-fold. Therefore prevention of hypoglycemia is very important for diabetics to avoid cardiovascular disease.

They say, the relationship between severe hypoglycemia with increased risk of cardiovascular disease is explained by the many diabetics who are also experiencing hypoglycemia cardiovascular disease. However, the mechanism between the two can not be explained.

Nevertheless, the researchers said the risk of diabetics who experience hypoglycemia against fatal diseases is very high. And they believe the relationship between the two is very strong.

men with big testes more prone sick

Testes or testicles have an important role for men's health, among others, produce sperm and make hormones. However, the size of the testes that can increase the risk of diseases

Men with large testes tend to be more obese, consume more alcohol, hypertension, and heart disease.

Researchers from the University of Florence, Italy, believes that the size of the testes could be a sign of poor health. In fact, the size of testes can be an indicator of heart disease risk.

Giulia Rasterelli, lead researcher, said that despite the large size of the testes is often associated with good reproductive function, but the size of these organs can also be an indicator of the overall health of the body.

"But the more detailed research is needed to explain why the big testes mechanism can increase the incidence of cardiac and vascular disease," said Rasterelli.

In his research he examined 2,809 men who came to the sexual health clinic. Then the male testes size were recorded and tested for hormone levels before their medical history was followed for 7 years.

During the study period known large testes size men who suffer more heart disease.

Men with large testes size also tend to have high levels of hormones, particularly hormones luteiniising, which is known to affect the size of the testes. Experts believe this hormone is bad for the heart.

The researchers were quite surprised by the results of this study as previously men with large testes are considered infertile, which is a sign of good health.

Because the respondents in this study were men who had sexual function problems, then the researchers caution the results of this study may not be appropriate in healthy men in general.
