Leather Upgrade Can Retrieved from Tomatoes

Some British researchers have found that adding the cooked tomatoes into your diet every day increases the skin's ability to protect them selves from ultra-violet rays are harmful.

Researchers at the University of Manchester and University of Newcastle found that adding five tablespoons of tomato paste to the daily diet of 10 volunteers can help avoid skin damage by providing protection against the effects of ultra-violet rays.

Damage caused by these rays can cause premature aging and even skin cancer.

In one study, researchers gave 10 volunteers as much as 55 grams of standard tomato paste which contains high levels of cooked tomatoes and olive oil 10 grams per day, while another 10 participants are given only olive oil.

After three months, skin samples from the tomato group showed they were given a 33% extra protection from sunburn, with very little cream factor of sun protection, and procollagen levels are much higher. Procollagen in a molecule which gives skin its structure and keep it supple.

The study showed antioxidant lycopene, found in most high concentration when tomatoes are cooked, was behind the apparent benefits.

"Food tomatoes prominently promote procollagen levels in the skin. This increase indicates the potential reversal of skin aging process," said Lesley Rhodes, dermatologist at the University of Manchester, the BBC quoted.

But there is a warning that tomatoes should be viewed as a useful addition and not as a choice for the cream of sun protection.

Researchers said the study was smaller and shorter, and they are now considering new research about the benefits of lycopene for the skin.

Hypertension Alert with Your Healthy

Hypertension is a disease that is difficult to know our own bodies. The way to find the hypertension with blood pressure measured regularly. Blood pressure can be measured in units of millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) and can be illustrated in figure 2 systolic pressure to diastolic pressure.

Your systolic pressure in front and behind the diastolic pressure. If the results of your blood pemgukura is 110/70 mm Hg means your systolic pressure 110 and your diastolic pressure is 70. targeted measurement of how much pressure in your arteries which causes a column of mercury rise in blood pressure measurement devices.

Experts blood pressure classification give different for people with hypertension.
according to WHO people can say when the normal blood pressure less than 135/85 mm Hg and hypertension can be said if it exceeds 140/90 mmHg.
according Join National Committee VII (JNC VII)

categories systolic diastolic
Normal <120 <80
prahipertensi 120-139 80-89
hypertension > 140 > 90
Stage 1 140-159 90-99

Stage 2 160 -> 180 100 -> 110


3. According to the NHLBI blood pressure above 140/90 mm Hg is high and while between 120/80 mmHg and 139/89 mmHg is said hypertension
according Nm Kaplan (father of medicine) provides limits to distinguish age and sex of patients as follows;

1. man age <45 years, can be said to have hypertension when blood pressure when lying down is> 130/90 mmHg.

2. man age> 45 years have hypertension daoat say when his blood pressure was> 145/95 mmHg.

Can be said 3. woman hypertension when blood pressure> 160/95 mmHg

5. By Gordon H. Williams hypertension can be divided as follows:

Systolic blood pressure:

<140: normal
: Normal high

Hazard alert Benign Prostate Enlargement

Benign prostate enlargement (RPM) is a natural process that normally occurs in men with age due to the influence of testosterone. Beware danger RPM in men because it can reduce the quality of life.

? I feel the complaints due to prostate disorders in the year 2002. Complaints such as frequent urination and was not completed when urinating, it is the desire to urinate again but the urine did not come out,? Zainudin said. The man who is now 65-year-old added that the complaint lasted for 2 years.

Zainudin also finally checked out and diagnosed by a doctor infected benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or commonly known as benign prostate enlargement (RPM). Older men (more than 55 years) had to be alert to the risk of RPM.
RPM patients will experience clinical symptoms are very annoying urinary tract obstruction or the bottom of the Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS), which are divided into symptoms of a blockage (obstruction) and irritation.

Obstruction, among others, weakening to pee stream can not urinate at all, urination should straining, urinary discontinuous, whereas irritation symptoms include frequent urination, urinate at night more than 2 times difficult to hold urine.

According to the data in the United States, more than 50% of men over the age of 45 years and 90% of men aged over 55 years of experience related to prostate problems. Based on autopsy results, RPM 20% occurred in patients 41-50 years, 50% at age 51-60 years and more than 90% at the age of 80 years.

More Information About RPM
Prostate is an organ of the male sex gland located below the bladder. The size about the size of walnut and weighs in normal men approximately 20 grams. The function of the prostate gland itself is a producer of fluid (semen) which keeps the sperm to stay alive.

Causes and risk factors for enlargement of RPM until now still not be known with certainty. However, in general, there are two main factors that caused this, ie age, genetics, race, environment and smoking is a risk factor RPM.

"No need to worry because now there are 3 kinds of treatment that can be done for patients with RPM," said dr. Johan R Wibowo, SpU in educating the media May 31, 2007 at Hotel Le Meridien ago.

First, with drugs while waiting (waiting watchfull) with observations conducted regularly every 3 months. This treatment option is usually performed on patients with minor complaints.

The second, called the treatment of invasive (surgery) for RPM is intended to eliminate or reduce the prostate tissue. The way the operation is known and is often done in Indonesia is by open surgery (open Prostatectomy) or by endoscopy is often referred to TransUrethal Resection of the Prostate (TUR-P).

Finally, a minimal invasive treatment (without surgery), the TUNA therapy, which was introduced in the world since 1994. Through the urinary tract in male genitals, prostate tissue will be injected with a needle and this TUNA equipment will emit low-frequency radio waves that produce heat energy directly into the prostate.

Energy and radio waves to destroy the enlarged prostate to the urethra is open again, so that the urine stream will return normal.medicine which only lasted for about 30 minutes this can be done in a special clinic or hospital.

TUNA Therapy is only a local anesthetic using a jelly that is inserted into the urethra and painkillers, if patients can not be done due to illness anesthesia? Suffered severe illness.

Effective therapy for RPM
Efforts to overcome the RPM being developed in medicine mainly aimed to improve the quality of life of patients. Compared with previously available therapy, minimal invasive technology is developed today is more effective in tackling RPM.

dr. Johan Wibowo, SpU


One of this type of therapy, the TUNA (TransUrethal Needle Ablation), proved effective in reducing symptoms, prostate volume, and improve the quality of life,? said dr. Johan R Wibowo, who completed education SpU surgeon urology UI in 2004.

TUNA minimal invasive technology that has been introduced in Indonesia since 2000 can be given to patients who are dependent on drugs and patients with high risk for surgery, such as history of heart disease, history of operating by-pass heart, a history of stroke and others.

When compared to the three types of treatment in benign prostatic enlargement on the top, TUNA therapy is the most effective treatment because it does not require surgery, is safe for people with heart, lung and stroke, effective, have side-effects is very small, there is no retrogade growth (water semen is not gushing out, but radiating into the urinary bladder), impotence and bedwetting.

Minimal invasive action is intended to be used in the clinic or hospital with treatment and recovery time short (usually only 24 hours after treatment).

Zainudin was then treated with TUNA therapy. After treatment with TUNA, Zainudin had experienced little interference or stinging during urination because of residue or blood clots. However, after the catheterization by the physician problem disappeared.

To avoid the things that are not desirable, dr. Johan R Wibowo, Sp U who practice in hospitals Omni Medical Center advised that a post-TUNA therapy, patients should not lift heavy loads, do not climb stairs and do not push the BAB (bowel movement).

Early Detection RPM
RPM is a natural process that normally occurs in men with age due to the influence of testosterone. RPM can be annoying because it was close to the urinary tract so that pressing the ureter. Unfortunately, RPM can not be prevented. However, dr. Johan Wibowo, who SpU awarded Neurogical Medtronic Asia Pacific Japan, suggested that men over the age of 40 years to do medical check ups for the RPM of Prostate specific antigen (PSA) and Uroflowmetry.

Beware, Fake Drugs lurk We

You never take your medication but the disease does not heal? Or is it getting worse? Be careful, lest you are a victim of counterfeit drugs. Packaging counterfeit drugs are so similar that it is difficult to distinguish from the original are often mislead consumers, especially the laity.

You never take your medication but the disease does not heal? Or is it getting worse? Be careful, lest you are a victim of counterfeit drugs. Packaging counterfeit drugs are so similar that it is difficult to distinguish from the original are often mislead consumers, especially the laity.

I was able to distinguish counterfeit drug or not after 26 years of experience as a doctor, "said Marius Widjajarta, physicians actively involved in Health Consumer Empowerment Foundation Indonesia.

Figures counterfeit drug trafficking in Indonesia is not known with certainty. However, the World Health Organization (WHO) said, counterfeit drug trade in Indonesia is Rp 3 trillion per year, or about 10 percent of drug trafficking in the country.

Until now, listed 81 brands of medicines in circulation in Indonesia forged. These drugs are classified as drugs sold in the market. Meanwhile, the World Trade Agency (WTO) mentions, the types of counterfeit drugs in developing countries include malaria drugs, TB, and HIV / AIDS.

Some drugs classified as false because they do not have marketing authorization in Indonesia. Some are classified as false because it has levels of active ingredients below the standard. Some drugs have no active ingredients at all or not nutritious for the body.

In some countries, such as the United States (U.S.) and China, counterfeit drugs are even of killing. While in Indonesia, fake drug victims unknown quantity. Most consumers do not realize that they actually have fake drugs.

"I was never sick, did not recover despite taking medication. But, what does that mean my fake medicine?" said Santi (28), an employee of a private company.

Pharmacy or drug store does not officially guarantee the authenticity of a drug. Compare for example, certain drugs purchased at a pharmacy with the same drugs purchased at pharmacies or other drug stores. It is possible, the packaging is slightly different drugs, such as form letters or different colors.

Although not guarantee safe, Marius recommend consumers to buy drugs, particularly drugs or hard G list, at the pharmacy. Usually, the packaging of drugs G list contained a red circle with a black trim. Inside the circle with the letter K is black. This means that these drugs must be purchased with a prescription from your doctor.

In addition, there are drugs on the packaging, there is a blue circle with black trim. These drugs is a drug-free, but only be obtained at a pharmacy or drug store licensed.

By buying drugs at pharmacies, said Marius, consumers are protected. If proven drug consumers purchased is counterfeit, the pharmacy can be prosecuted by law.

In addition, in order not to get caught counterfeit drugs, consumers should also be noted carefully bought drugs. The first thing to note is the registration number as a sign of the drug had been cleared in Indonesia.

Several drugs widely consumed, such as Actifed Cold-P, which contains Triprolidine HCl, pseudoephedrine HCl BP, and Paracetamol BP, during the period 1999-2006 has yet to get register in Indonesia. Drugs outside the counterfeit can be purchased freely, among others in the Market Scouts, East Jakarta.

In addition, consumers also need to carefully check the quality of the packaging and the physical quality of these products. This recall, some counterfeit drug products almost exactly like the original. However, counterfeit packaging sometimes less tidy.

Another thing to consider is the name and address clearly listed producers. Consumers should also carefully read the indications, the manufacturer's instructions, warnings, contra indications, side effects, storage, and expiry date.

Generic

In recent months, drug counterfeiting mode in Indonesia developed. Fake drugs syndicate no longer mix or make drugs, but generic drug packaging change into a branded drug. Besides being too risky, the benefits of the counterfeiters were also dozens of times. That's because the difference in price of generic drugs and branded drugs can be up to 80 times as much.

Counterfeit drugs are also growing because there is cooperation between physicians and certain manufacturers. Since the beginning, the doctor did not explain the differences in patent medicines, branded medicines and generic drugs. Some doctors call a branded drug as a patent medicine. In fact, said Marius, both very different.

Patent medicine is a drug that is produced through research or study. Production of the drug patent lasts for 20 years before the production rights are also granted to other companies. The generic drug is a drug sold under the name of the exact name of the substance contained therein. While the branded drug is generic brand appropriate given the company name.

"What works in the body is still generic. We're enggak dining brand," said Marius.

As a patient, the consumer is entitled to decide whether he wants to use generic drugs or branded drugs. However, there are doctors who rarely gives options to patients. In addition, consumers also assumes a branded drug is more effective than generic drugs.

Bad experience about the drug include experienced Nika (26) when treated at Dr W, a specialist in the disease known in Jakarta. To treat the fungus that nested in his gut, Nika asked to buy various kinds of drugs and vitamins are worth about Rp 500,000. Later, Nika know that the stomach medicine and vitamins your doctor prescribes them unnecessary.

"Because I enggak given the same explanation and doctor choice. So, I think it," said Nika, who was still honorary status in a company. The doctor who was "bad" like that, said Marius, could be snared by the Consumer Protection Act. In addition, if it is proven there is a doctor who worked with manufacturers counterfeit drug sales could also be snared Corruption Act.

To overcome the counterfeit drugs, Marius hope the Minister of Health immediately endorsed the draft decree Minister of branded drug price comparison and the proposed generic drug Pharmacy GP last year. The draft, among other differences set the price of generic and branded drugs no more than three times as much. Thus, drug counterfeiting is expected to be reduced.

"Fraud must be reduced because it benefits also decreased. To what falsified if the difference is too little," he said. (Image)

The threat of Celiac Disease is Still Hidden

The parents of a child who was petite, Amang call it the 7-year-old, got frustrated because her child can not eat fat and hard since the age of 1 year. After consultation with various specialists no progress experienced by children. Finally, a doctor convicted child suffering from celiac disease. Just hearing the name of the disease are still foreign to our ears. What and how the handling of this disease, find the answer in the following articles.

The parents of a child who was petite, Amang call it the 7-year-old, got frustrated because her child can not eat fat and hard since the age of 1 year. After consultation with various specialists no progress experienced by children. Finally, a doctor convicted child suffering from celiac disease, so that problems can be reduced even though his son was too late.


Or celiac disease are also often called Celiak Disease, Nontropical Sprue, enteropathy Gluten, Celiac Sprue is an inherited condition, which occurs against gluten intolerance (a protein), which causes changes in the small intestine so that an interruption of nutrient absorption into the body causing various disturbances in the human body functions.


Celiac disease
occurs in 1% of the population of children and adults. In adulthood there are 2-3 times more women than men. The disease is not only known in Europe but also in the Middle East, Asia, America and Africa. Although many people affected by this disease and the incidence increased, but still a lot happening underdiagnosis, although even in one country in Europe has been reported in 1 patient 77 people.


In Indonesia up to now still unknown numbers will happen, but it is thought the figure was not far from 1 than 100 people. The author conducted research on people with eating difficulties in children treated in Jakarta PICKY EATERS CLINIC (Klinik Special Difficulty Eating In Children) expected about 34% of the population of children is difficult to eat celiac disease, because the time of the avoidance of dietary gluten there is clinical improvement meaningful.


CAUSE

Celiac disease
is a permanent disease long term. Some of the factors that influence the occurrence of disease, namely genetic factors, environmental and caused by sensitivity to gluten, the protein contained in wheat and rye, barley (barley) and wheat. Foods containing these ingredients are bread, biscuits, pasta, sauces and so on. The process of this disorder is the presence of antibodies to gluten that can disturb the surface of the small intestine. This disruption causes the intestinal lining becomes flat flakes. This flat surface is less able to digest and absorb food.

Beware of Diabetic Foot Complications

People with diabetes mellitus need to give more attention to the health of his feet, because diabetes can cause complications known as diabetic foot (diabetic foot). Diabetic foot is one complication of diabetes is still not focused on. In fact, the consequences of the diabetic foot can cause the already deteriorating lead to gangrene and amputation of action.

Diabetic foot is a serious complication of diabetes and expensive. The increasing prevalence of diabetes in the world cause an increase in cases of leg amputation due to complications from diabetes. Epidemiological studies report more than one million amputations performed on people with diabetes each year. This means that every 30 seconds there are cases of leg amputation because of diabetes around the world.

Generally, diabetic foot ulcers preceded by the (injury). Only about two-thirds of the ulcer can be healed quickly, the rest end up with amputation. On average it takes about six months for healing ulcers. Both ulcers and amputations have a great impact on quality of life for people with diabetes, the limited freedom of movement, socially isolated, and psychological stress.

Diabetic foot is also a real economic problem, since people with diabetes with diabetic foot usually requires a long treatment, rehabilitation, which costs no less, and the risk of major amputation.

According to Drs. dr. Aris Wibudi, SpPD as Chairman of PB Pedi (Association of Diabetes educators Indonsia), diabetic foot complications can be prevented. By applying a strategy that combines prevention, care if it happens at the foot ulcer, appropriate medical treatment, blood sugar levels under control, and education on diabetes and medical personnel, can reduce the possible risk of amputation to 85%.

Foot Problems in People with Diabetes

Each person can experience problems in the legs as shown below. But for people with diabetes with blood sugar levels are not controlled, these foot problems can lead to infection and more serious consequences such as amputation.

* Kalus
Skin thickening is commonly seen in the soles of the feet. Callus due to repeated friction or pressure in the same area, weight distribution is unbalanced, inappropriate shoes, or skin disorders. Callus could be developed into an infection.
* Skin blister
Can occur if shoes always rub the foot of the same area. Due to the use of ill-fitting shoes or without socks. Skin blisters can develop into an infection. It is important to deal with the blister is not pop, because the blisters protect the skin from infection.
* Nails grow legs into the
Occurs when the tip of the nail grows into the skin and cause pressure can tear the skin so the skin becomes red and infected. Toenails ingrown can happen if you cut the nail to its end, can also be caused by shoes that are too tight or foot trauma due to activities such as running and aerobics. If the tip of your toenails rough, cheap to use smoothed.
* Swelling big toe
Happen if the big toe finger biased toward the next, causing redness, pain, and infection. Can occur in one or both legs due to the use of high heels and a narrow end. Swelling that causes pain and deformity (transformation of) the foot can be solved by surgery.
* Plantar warts
Wart look like a callus with a small black dot in the center. Can develop on its own or in groups. The emergence of warts caused by viruses that infect the outer layer of the foot.
* Crooked toes
Occurs when the leg muscles become weak. Nerve damage due to diabetes can cause this weakness. Weak muscles can cause the tendons (tissue that connect muscles and bones) in the legs shortened so that the toes become crooked. Will cause problems in walking and difficulty finding the right shoe. Can also be caused by shoes that are too short.
* The skin dry and cracked feet
Can occur because the nerves in the feet do not get the messages from the brain (due to diabetic neuropathy) to sweat that will keep skin soft and moist. Dry skin can be broken. The existence of fractions in the skin allow germs to enter and cause infection. With your blood sugar is high, the germs will get food to grow so that aggravate infection.
* Athlete's foot (foot athlete)

Early Signs migraine Brain Damage?

Have you experienced some headaches or migraines? It turned out that a migraine can make brain cells damaged even increase the risk of having a stroke until the second time.

Have experienced some headaches or migraines? Maybe a lot of headaches accompanied menggangap 'aura' (the visual disturbances like flashing lights can or black spots) is a trivial thing, but do you know if migraines can make brain cells damaged.

Recent studies say they are at risk of severe migraine suffer brain damage because the brain cells of oxygen and less bloated. Results from studies that reported by Reuters on Monday (30/04) This helped explain why migraine sufferers have a higher risk of stroke.

The findings are published in the journal Nature Neuroscience this week mentions a similar brain damage can occur because of concussion and post-stroke condition. The researchers mention the headache sufferers should not simply take painkillers but also had to take medicine to prevent migraines.

Studies using mice as these objects indicate the use of oxygen can help reduce brain damage, said Takahiro Takano, Maiken Nedergaard, and colleagues from the University of Rocherster, New York, which used the Danish pharmaceutical team, Novo Nordisk.

They studied a process called cortical spreading depression, known as CSD, which is a wave of changes in cells associated with migraine, stroke and head trauma.

They use two-photon mikrosoft and oxygen sensor microelectrodes to examine the living mouse brain while researching the process.

In the study, and swelling of the brain cells become starved of oxygen. Nerve cells damaged - especially dendrites (long, thin tissue that stretches from one nerve cell to another nerve cell).

"This research may have direct clinical implications, because several lines of work support the notion that the CDS is a neural basis of migraine with aura, and spontaneous waves of CSD may contribute to additional injuries to stroke and traumatic brain injuries," explained the researchers.

Migraine is a severe form of illness ships that make people so weak, and now has struck 28 million people in America.

Two studies, including one study published last week in the Archives in Internal Medicine, showed that people who suffer from the headaches more likely to be stricken with heart disease.

In a study conducted in 2004 and published in the British Journal says migraine sufferers have twice the risk of stroke than those who did not suffer from the headaches. In this case women are more vulnerable to certain symptoms of migraine.

Regular pain medication often has little effect on the headache, but one type of drugs called triptans, also known as serotonin agonists, and ergotamine drugs, can be used to prevent the worst effects if patients eat at the first signs appear.

Providing more oxygen dose range reduces the impact of brain waves seen in CSD, the researchers said.

They claim a number of migraine and headache patients are sometimes treated with pressurized oxygen. But not clear whether the effect is permanent migraine.

Several studies have shown that the impact of permanent, while others have shown no difference in memory and other cognitive effects in migraine patients
