Do not underestimate HIV Risk
trendings topics
Americans warned that too many Americans underestimate the risk of HIV or mistakenly believe that the virus that causes AIDS is no longer a serious health threat. trendings topics
A statement issued Thursday by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, 30 years after the first report about the mysterious and deadly disease. The statement calling for increased AIDS awareness and prevention efforts.
CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden said more than 1.1 million Americans infected with HIV and that many of them are living longer thanks to new drugs. But he warned there is still no cure for HIV and the majority of new infections infecting people under the age of 30.
The CDC also warned that some groups of people hold a higher risk of HIV infection than the general population.
It says about half of all new cases of HIV are gay and bisexual men - who account for about two percent of Americans. African Americans and Hispanics are also exposed to higher risk of HIV infection than the general population.
Dr. Frieden said that reducing the HIV rate is very important, and treating new HIV infections estimated to cost over 200 billion dollars for Americans in coming decades.

Japan Successfully Grow Back heart muscle cells
Doctors in Japan say they have managed to regrow heart muscle infants by using 'stem-cell' (cell base) of his own. trending topics health
This is the first time the procedure had been performed successfully. The team of doctors at University Hospital Okayama, western Japan, said the findings could someday provide an alternative to heart transplantation.
The doctor told reporters on Tuesday they have expanded stem-cell from a female infant aged one year who was born with left ventricular heart of smallness. Ventricle is the ventricle that pumps blood to the aorta, the largest blood vessel in the body.
The doctors had been multiplying cells for several days, and then transplanting it on the baby's heart.
They say the size of her baby's heart muscle has grown 10 percent, and that the amount of blood pumped has increased with the same number.

Genes Can Determine How Information Breast Cancer Treatment
New Trends,World trends
The new study found that breast cancer patients gene information could help physicians determine whether chemotherapy is effective in combating the type of cancer that annually kill millions of women in the world.Choose between effective treatment and preventive surgery is an important decision in the fight against breast cancer. New research concludes that the information gene can confirm whether cancer patients chemotherapy the best choice that must be done. world trends
Information gene has been widely used to help guide the treatment of breast cancer to predict and better prevention.Sandra Cohen always be wary of getting breast cancer because her mother and grandmother died from the disease. But thanks to the gene test, she and her doctor can decide to perform preventive surgery. He said he now felt better and recommend genetic testing to others who have similar medical history.
The study looked at response and survival of women newly diagnosed with breast cancer in cancer treatment. This data is based on tumor samples taken from 310 patients treated with two chemotherapy drugs.The researchers said the gene information of patients to be a good way to predict which tumors are really sensitive to chemotherapy and are resistant to chemotherapy.Dr. Charis Eng a cancer researcher who did not participate in the study said, "Prediction is always a good idea,
because if we can predict accurately, we can know. Think of "crystal ball" says this person will not recover if given the standard treatment for early stage breast cancer. That would make them more alert doctors and trying to overcome the cancer that grows longer faster or even give a very aggressive treatment.
"The investigators agreed such a test could prevent patients treated with drugs in which their bodies do not respond or could become a more personal treatment.Experts say the gene test also reduces the cost of health care and allow doctors to attack the malignant tumor without losing valuable time.The experts in this study said that more needs to study more, but believe their findings will become an additional weapon in the fight against breast cancer.

Face Transplant, is important?
Transplantation of human organs is common. But, face transplantation is currently a hot topic discussed by health experts as well as ordinary people. The issue of face transplants is very different from kidney or heart transplant
Patients who undergo the transplant procedure may face are the ones who suffered very serious facial damage. The damage can be caused by cancer, burns, or other accidents that are severe and can only be assisted through facial transplantation.
Surgical procedure to transplant the face is actually very difficult. In addition, expressions and feelings of patients will be involved very much in the process of face transplant surgery. Because of the important parts of the face which is the basic identity of a person may later be amended, especially on the lips, eyes and cheeks.
The number of patients who may undergo face transplant is still very small today. Also, still need to do a survey on the possibility of allowing the face transplant.
Although technically, will face transplant surgery promises success for the sufferer, but a psychic act that may be difficult to accept. So do not face transpalasi arbitrary, because there are several considerations that must be learned.

Information about the diverticulosis disease
Information about the diverticulosis disease
Colon (large intestine) is a structure like a long tube that stores and then eliminates waste material. The pressure inside the colon causing pockets of tissue protruding from the push out from the walls of the large intestine when a person is aging (the elderly). A bag that stands out is pushed out from the wall of the colon called a diverticulum. More than one bag that stands out is referred to as diverticula. Diverticula can occur diselururuh colon but are most common near the tip of the left colon sigmoid colon yangdisebut. The condition of having diverticula is called diverticulosis of the colon.
A patient with diverticulosis may have few or no symptoms. When a diverticulum rupture and become infected, a condition called diverticulitis. A patient suffering from diverticulitis will have abdominal pain, abdominal sensitivity, and fever. When bleeding from a diverticulum, it is called diverticular bleeding. A patient who suffers the consequences of diverticulosis of the colon are referred to as having diverticular disease.
Diverticular disease is common western world but very rarely in areas such as Asia and Africa. Diverticular disease increases with age. He was not common before the age of forty, and seen in more than fifty percent of people older than sixty years in America. Since most patients with diverticular disease do not have or have few symptoms, some patients will develop bleeding, rupture and infection (diverticulitis), constipation, stomach cramps, and even bowel obstruction.
Diverticulitis is a condition in which diverticuli in the colon rupture. The rupture results in infection in the tissues that surround the colon.
A small bulging sac pushing outward from the colon wall is called a diverticulum. Diverticula can occur throughout the colon but are most common near the end of the left colon referred to as the sigmoid colon. The condition of having these diverticula in the colon is called diverticulosis.
When bleeding originates from a diverticulum, it is called diverticular bleeding. Diverticular disease increases with age.
Diverticulitis treatment
A high fiber diet and fiber supplements are advisable to prevent constipation and perhaps prevent the formation of more diverticula.
chlordiazepoxide (Librax),
dicyclomine (Bentyl),
hyoscyamine (Levsin).
When diverticulitis occurs, antibiotics are usually needed. Oral antibiotics
are sufficient when symptoms are mild.
ciprofloxacin (Cipro),
metronidazole (Flagyl),
doxycycline (Vibramycin).
In severe diverticulitis with high fever and pain, patients are hospitalized
and given intravenous antibiotics.

Backbone Cancer , How is the Symptoms?
Backbone
Cancer ,
How is the Symptoms?
Backbone cancer is very rarely encountered. Cases of cancer of the spine of the most common is the metastasis,
which is cancer originating from other parts of the body and spread to the
spine. When cancer spreads, or originated in this region,
usually affects one or more parts of the spine. If
someone develops cancer of the spine, either primary or secondary, it will show
different symptoms of the disease.
Primary bone cancer in the spine are rare. Cancer in the spine can cause destruction of healthy cells of bone patients. Cancer tumors not only damage the bones of the spine but also damage the spinal cord sufferers. Symptoms of bone cancer in the spine include pain, broken bones and numbness or weakness.
Pain
The most common sign of cancer of the bone in the spine is pain in the neck or back. The pain will continue and be accompanied by other symptoms. This pain can be just in the back, can also spread to other limbs. Development depends only on the location of abnormal growths. If the cancer is causing a small amount of inflammation and irritation, the pain usually remains behind. If the cancer is pressing the nerve, the pain diffuse out to the "branch" agencies. No matter the source of pain, cancer of the spine cause chronic discomfort.
Weakness
If the cancer place considerable pressure on the nerves, a person will suffer from weakness. This is largely due to the interference with the impulses from the spinal cord. If the cancer causing major inflammation in the back, the brain is no longer able to communicate well with his feet. As a result, patients may find it difficult to walk, carrying, reaching for something, or holding.
Sensitivity decreases
Cancer of the spine can affect the sensation of touch. Because the spinal cord is the nerve center, inflammation or pressure in this area can lead to a reduction of sensation. Object may no longer feel hot or cold to the touch. Similar to the inability of the brain to communicate with the limb, the limb becomes fully communicate with the brain.
Incontinence
Cancer spine can also cause incontinence. These symptoms are very similar to the weakness, because the pressure on certain nerves in the spine that is responsible for controlling the performance of the bladder and intestine. If the impulse is interrupted, can cause a person to lose control of their bladder, bowel, or both.
Paralysis
Along with the development of cancer of the spine, a person may suffer from paralysis. Depending on the severity of cancer, paralysis can be isolated to one limb. The size and location of growth determines the amount of paralysis, because the cancer can get to the point where the nerves seemed to break or lesion has been formed on the nerve itself.

The US Food and Drug Administration FDA has approved the cobas HPV (Human Papillomavirus) Test which identifies women with the highest risk of developing cervical cancer.
It is the only FDA-approved cervical cancer screening test that identifies genotypes 16 and 18, the two most aggressive forms of the potentially-fatal virus, at the same time as other high-risk forms, the company said.
Roche estimates that more than 55 million cervical smear tests are carried out in the US every year.
Last week the firm reported a nine percent fall in its first-quarter sales compared with a year ago, hurt by a strong Swiss franc.
Revenues for the first three months of the year reached 11.1 billion francs ($12.5 billion dollars, 8.6 billion euros).

Although the food tantalizing and tempting fast food, fast food is often keeps the body to be stretched. Weight loss so fat and diseases came. The following tips deal with fast food that is safe and healthy:
1. Eliminate salt.
When ordered, ask to reduce the salt to be sprinkled on fast food at the waitress, and preferably not at all sprinkled with salt. Especially on a sandwich, although not fried, the meat content contained in it has a fairly high salt content of the course can damage heart health. Also on french fries that contain salt and oil are quite high so that it can interfere with cardiac performance.
2. Select Rice Red
However brown rice which is made from brown rice lebh healthful than common white rice we consume far. And fast food restaurants are now many who provide them. Well, if any, should choose brown rice instead of white rice. However brown rice has a fiber is much higher. Not just filling, brown rice also can lower cholesterol in the blood. Fat contained in brown rice is a very good essential fats for brain development. Even the content of iron, vitamins, and minerals are superior to white rice and contains tiamini which serves to maintain the body's metabolism.
3. Expand Vegetables Serves.
Burgers and sandwiches are the choice of fast food is the favorite. To be more healthy, ask for no cheese, salad dressings, or mayonnaise. When there, ask for fish and chicken burgers because it has a lower calorie content than meat. Ask add lettuce, cucumber, and tomato in a burger or sandwich layer is. And as a complement to the sauce, mustard and olive oil is perfect as a healthy choice.
5. Healthy Drinks
A professor of nutrition at the University of California, namely Judith Stern, ScD, RD, concluded that in every drink consumed, on average contain sugar levels, both on soda, capuccinno, as well as fruit juice. And we know that sugar can increase the calories in the body and reduce absorption of nutrients from food. In a medium soda can-sized bottle contains 425 calories. For that, choose pure fruit juice without sugar, or mineral water. Or sometimes you can order a cup of tea without sugar is quite good for the heart, to fight cancer, and strengthen bones.

Taking the term bipolar disorder refers to the mood of the sufferer who can change suddenly between two poles (bipolar), the opposite of happiness and extreme sadness.
Every person in general has experienced a good mood (mood highs) and a bad mood (mood lows). However, a person suffering from bipolar disorder have extreme mood swings that is easy to sense the pattern changed drastically. One time, a person with bipolar disorder may feel very enthusiastic and excited (mania). However, when it turned bad mood, he can be very depressed, pessimistic, desperate, even to have a desire to commit suicide (depression). Formerly, this disease called manic-depressive.
This disease has been estimated to affect more than five million people in America. 3-5 persons from each of 100 adults with Bipolar Disorder ascertained. It occurs equally in men and women with the same risk level. In general, affective disorder was found in all cultures and racial groups, but the American races and the most dominant Afrikalah bipolar disorder compared to other races in the world. Bipolar disorder began to appear in adolescence and continues throughout life. Initially, the disease is often not recognized by the sufferer because it is only regarded as ordinary depression. Therefore, early diagnosis is crucial for this disease could be followed up with appropriate and not membahaykan the patient nor those around him.
Bipolar disorder can affect a person's life, such as the ability in many areas, major disruption to the health, social relationships, and a person's lifestyle. Therefore, this disease requires a serious treatment for sufferers to live life normally. B. History of Bipolar Disorder Linking mood and energy level has been part of human life since time immemorial. The word "melancholia" (an old word for depression) and "mania" have been known to mankind since the days of Ancient Greece. According to the Pre-hippocratic humoral theory, the word melancholia is derived from the weld / μελας which means black, and Chloe / χολη, meaning bile or injure. This theory also states that mania occurs because of too much yellow bile, or a combination of yellow and black bile.
On the other hand, doctors Rome, Caelius Aurelianus also proposed etimilogi mania that is Ania who mean the most to produce mental anguish and Manos, which means relaxing, which is expected to mean much to relax the mind or soul (angst and Marneros 2001). The idea of melancholia and mania again be explained by Soranus of Ephesus (98-177 AD) in the 2nd century AD Soranus assert that melancholia and mania are different circumstances with a separate disease. However, at that time, many people thought that melancholia is one form of the disease mania (Mandimore 2005). In addition to Ephesus, the relationship between mania and melancholia is also proposed by Aretaeus of Cappadocia. Aretaeus health is a philosopher who lived in Alexandria about the year 30 to 150 M. He said that the manic-depressive caused by black bile. Aviceenna, a Russian physician and psychological thinker wrote the book The Canon of Medicine in 1025 that identified bipolar disorder as a manic-depressive psychosis (manic-depressive psychosis), as distinguished from one form to another of a madness (junun), such as mania and schizophrenia.
The basis of the concept of manic-depressive who used Baillarger now discovered by Jules on January 31, 1854 to the Academy of Medicine in France that the biphasic mental depression and mania can cause repeated. This is termed as a folie à double forme (dual-form Insanity). Two weeks later, on February 14, 1854, Jean Pierre Falret presented the basis of the disorder (disease) are the same and called folie circulaire (circular Insanity). After that, the concepts developed have been found again by a German psychiatrist, Emil Kraepelin (1856-1926) by using the concept of cyclothymia kahbaum. Emil is the man who coined the term manic depressive psychosis (manic depressive psychosis). He asserted that a patient with bipolar disorder who had experienced an acute period of mania or depression, could eventually lead a normal life kembali.Setelah World War II, John Cade, an Australian psychiatrist investigating the influence of various snyawa on veterans who suffer from bipolar disorder.
In 1949, Cade discovered that lithium carbonate can be used to treat people with bipolar disorder. However, Cade did not directly use it to treat patients because of fears that the salt contained in korbonat Lithium can cause poisoning and even death. In the 1950s, many hospitals in the United States began to conduct experiments on the effect of lithium in patients with this disease. Ten years later, various reports appeared in medical man of letters regarding the effectiveness of lithium. Department of Food and Drug Administration United States does not approve the use of lithium for the treatment to know 1970. The term "manic-depressive reaction" (manic-depressive reaction) first appeared in the American Psychiatric Association in 1952 which was influenced by Adolf Meyer. He explained the paradigm of illness as a reaction from biogenetik factor to psychological factors and social influence. Subclassification of bipolar disorder first presented by a German psychiatrist named Karl Leonhard in 1957. Karl is also the first person to introduce the terms bipolar (for patients who experience mania and depression) and unipolar (for pederita that only experienced episodes of depression). In the 1990s, many countries in the world begun paying attention to the affective disorders, particularly bipolar disorder. C. Causes Bipolar Disorder Based on the National Institute of Mental Health United States (USA Government's National Institute of Mental Health), or NIMH, bipolar disorder not only caused by single factors alone, but of the many factors that together lead to the formation of this disease. Because of the many factors involved, bipolar disorder is also called multifactorial diseases. Actually, the cause of bipolar disorder may vary among individuals with one another. However, many studies showing the contribution of genetic and environmental influences have a major role in this disease.
Genetic factors are common factors causing congenital bipolar disorder. A person born of parents one of whom is a person with bipolar disorder have the same disease risk by 15% -30% and if both parents suffer from bipolar disorder, then the 50% -75%. children at risk of suffering from bipolar disorder. Identical twin of a person with bipolar disorder have the highest risk the possibility of developing this disease than non-identical twins. Research on effects of genetic factors in bipolar disorder ever conducted by engaging families and twins. The results showed that about 10-15% of the families of patients who suffered from bipolar disorder disorder had experienced an episode of mood disorder (Gherson, 1990, in Davison, Neale, & Kring, 2004). § Environmental Factors Bipolar disorder is not only influenced by genes alone, but also driven by environmental factors.
Patients with this disease tend to have a trigger factor disease involving interpersonal relationships or achievement events (reward) in life. Examples of personal relationships, among others, fall in love, broken love, and death of a friend. While the incident objectives include the failure to graduate school and fired from a job. In addition, a patient with bipolar disorder whose symptoms begin to appear during the young period are likely to have a history of childhood experience a lot less fun as anxiety or depression. In addition to the above causes, alcohol, drugs, and other diseases can also trigger the emergence of bipolar disorder on the other hand, the environmental circumstances surrounding the well can support people with this disorder so they can live life normally. § System and Mood Disorders Neurochemistry One of the main factors causing a person with Bipolar Disorder is a disturbance of the main chemical fluid balance (key cemichals) in the brain.
As an organ that functions to deliver stimulation, the brain requires a neurotransmitter (nerve messenger or signal from the brain to other body parts) in carrying out their duties. Norepinephrin, dopamine, and serotonin are several types of neurotransmitters are important in the delivery of nerve impulses. In people with bipolar disorder, chemical liquids in a state that is not balanced. For example, once a person with bipolar disorder with high levels of dopamine in the brain will feel very excited, aggressive, and confident. This condition is called manic phase. In contrast with the trough. This phase occurs when the fluid level of the main chemicals that the brain falls below normal, so people feel discouraged, pessimistic, and even suicide are great. A person suffering from bipolar disorder indicate a disturbance in the motivational system called behavioral activation system (BAS). BAS facilitate the human ability to earn rewards (goals) from their environment.
This is associated with positive emotional states, personality characteristics such as extroversion (open), increased energy, decreased need for sleep. Biologically, BAS believed to be associated with neural pathways in the brain involving dopamine and behavior to obtain rewards. Life events that involve reward or desire to achieve predicted increases episodes of mania but is not associated with episodes of depression. While other positive events not associated with changes in mania episode. § neuroendocrine system in the limbic area of the brain associated with emotion and affect the hypothalamus.
The hypothalamus controls the endocrine glands and hormone levels produced. The hormones produced by the hypothalamus gland also affects pituarity. These glands are associated with depressive disorders such as sleep disturbance and appetite stimulation. Various findings support this, that people with depression have high levels of cortisol (adrenocortical hormone) is high. It is caused by excessive production of hormone release by hypothalamic rotropin (Garbutt, et al., 1994 in Davison, Neale, & Kring, 2004). Excessive production of cortisol in people with depression also led to the increasing number of adrenal glands (Rubun et al., 1995, in Davison, Neale, & Kring, 2004). Number of cortisol is also associated with damage to the hipoccampus and research also has shown that depression in people who do not show hipoccampal normal. Research on Cushing's syndrome is also associated with high levels of cortisol in depressive disorders. D.

The disease is commonly found in people who are involved in the art world. A number of artists, composers, and writers who have a history of bipolar disorder are known to produce good works.
Historians also believe that Vincent Van Gogh suffered from bipolar disorder. The situation can trigger creativity mania associated with an increase in mood, thoughts came suddenly, and the ability to link the IgE and ideas. § Stage Episode Hipomania hipomania similar to mania.
