Researchers have identified a protein that is responsible for male baldness. Thus expected to be found an effective treatment for baldness in men. Male baldness has affected 8 out of 10 men and causes hair follicles to shrink and produce microscopic hairs, which grow for shorter duration than normal hair.

"Often we see the baldness in men when the hair follicles are still there. So specialist concluded that, the existence of male baldness is caused due to the lack of a chemical compound for hair growth or the presence of inhibitors," said Dr. George Cotsarelis, a dermatology professor of Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania as reported by FoxNewsHealth, Thursday (03/22/2012).

By using microrays, tissue samples taken from the scalp in men suffering from baldness (alopecia androgenetic) and measured the levels of different genes. Samples taken from two spots on the scalp and bald spots with hair. The researchers found a bald spot has a high level of abnormal proteins called Prostaglandin D2 (PGD2), which is almost three times the amount present in the area of ​​scalp with hair. Then the researchers identified the protein, and further functional tests to study the effects of PGD2 in rat hair and hair follicles that grow in the laboratory.

"The protein can decrease the growth of hair. Proteins to inhibit hair growth, so that must be bound to the receptor (GPR44). Receptors are targets for future treatments to combat the baldness," says Dr. Cotsarelis.

"The effects of inhibition of PGD2 acts through the receptor, so what to do is block the receptor," the researchers said.

Some of the compounds targeted at the GPR44 receptor is already underway in other laboratories to treat other health problems like asthma. In addition to regulating hair growth, prostaglandins also control cell growth, as well as the constriction and dilation of smooth muscle tissue. The researchers believe that, with the results of new research means a topical treatment for male pattern baldness may soon be available.

"Our study is targeted to find a solution treatment of male pattern baldness. Since almost all men with a concomitant increase in age has begun to experience pattern baldness," says Dr. Cotsarelis.

Apples are proven to increase the production of acetylcholine which is a hormone that is capable of transmitting messages between Personality so as to sharpen the memory of the brain.

In addition to triggering non-communicable diseases such as cancer, smoking is also associated with increased risk of infectious diseases such as Tuberculosis (TBC or TB). Estimated in the next 40 years, 40 million smokers will die because of TBC. These estimates are presented by the World Lung Foundation, in a recent book entitled The Tobacco Atlas 4th Edition. The Book compiled by Michael Eriksen, Judith Mackay and Hana Ross is a collection of data and predictions about the tobacco in the world.

Increased risk of tuberculosis had been concern since smoking was associated with more non-communicable diseases such as cancer and heart attacks. Not many are aware, that smoking may increase the risk of TBC infection. Especially in the last 10 years, the number of smokers around the world continue to show improvement.

"Since the first edition of The Tobacco Atlas published a decade ago, more than 43 billion cigarettes had been smoked. In 2009 alone there are 5.9 trillion cigarettes smoked, up 13 percent in 10 years" Eriksen said at the launch of the book in a series of 15th World Conference on Tobacco or Health, Singapore, Wednesday (03/21/2012).

In addition to the various predictions about the effects of tobacco, of The Tobacco Atlas 4th Edition also reveal much about the developments of tobacco. One was the number of women smoking, the increasing number of growing days and even exceeded in 25 states of men smoke. Indonesia is not included in the 25 states, but mentioned that the number of women smoking in Indonesia, including many of the 3.7 percent of all ages. At the age of 13-15 years, 1.9 percent of young women have been smoking too.

Indonesia, Surabaya city and a number of areas recently rumored to have an attack of Tomcat insect that is harmful. Attack of this Paederus Insect species can cause dermatitis or skin irritation. However, do you know if Tomcat was beneficial insects for farmers?

Aris Sutrisno, an insect expert from LIPI reveal insects Tomcat is useful to repel pests. Leafhoppers are insect prey for Tomcat. Haris said the attacks are said to be a plague Tomcat was just an act to defend themselves from enemy threats. Tomcat is not actually hostile to humans. So, maybe there is a human activity that interferes with activities of Tomcat. In metropolitan cities like Jakarta and Surabaya, Tomcat insects normally live in areas that are have trees or plants such as city parks. Tomcat fly with a body that "standing", not lie face downward. Wings did not cover the whole body, in contrast to insects that we usually encounter. Residents who are bitten by an insect Tomcat will typically experience itching. When severe, the skin may blister-like victim of Surabaya. However, residents are expected to not panic face an attack Tomcat because the poison is not deadly. To treat bites Tomcat, namely by applying ointment Acyclovir 5 percent. This ointment can be found in pharmacies. Skin that have Bitten can be washed with soapy water for first aid antiseptic.

The characteristics of the affected skin bites Tomcat :

1. Appear reddish color of the skin

2. The skin will feel itchy

3. Irritation or inflammation of the skin

4. Skin will appear blistered from the irritation

5. If severe, then there will be pus in the skin

To overcome this, we also have prepared the way to cope tomcat bites :

1. Avoid direct contact with these animals.

Direct contact with animals is tantamount to attach the skin to the poison. Usually the skin will feel the heat followed by the appearance of spots itchy, watery and black marks on the skin. If you want to get rid of that animal, use paper or blow it, do not hold it by hand.

2. Rinse with running water and soap

if your skin got contact immediately put your skin under tap water and wash with soap. If it feels like burns, immediately compresses the skin with cool antiseptic and make sure there is no more insect tomcat and was given one percent hydrocortisone ointment. However, the patient better immediately checked by a doctor.

3. Pairs of mosquito netting and also close the windows and doors to prevent entry of these beetles, make sure there is no room for him.

4. Do not rub the skin or eyes if you get contact with tomcat, because the poison on the skin can infect other areas that you touch. Wash your hands before touching other parts of the body.

5. Make sure the home environment clean

Remove plants that are not maintained and ensure cleanliness of your garden so that animals will not nest there. This is a powerful way to cope with the disease tomcat. Prevention is better than cure so make sure your home is clean and comfortable so that you are not distracted from tomcat problems. Although insects are useful to farmers, we also must remain vigilant.

Most of the 30 years old women's began to use medical help to increase fertility. This is not just due to aging alone but blood group apparently had an influence on fertility. Women with blood type O tend to decrease the amount of the egg reserves than other blood types. Women with blood type O are two times more likely to experience a decrease in fertility compared to women with blood group A and AB. Doctors stated that egg reserves will be reduced in women aged 30-40 years, but can also occur at an early age. This research has been published online in the journal Human Reproduction issue of June 26, 2011.

"There is a subgroup of women who are young but her acting as if the older and the number of eggs in her ovaries a little more," said Lubna Pal, a reproductive endocrinology researcher at Yale University School of Medicine as reported from MSNHealth, Wednesday (21/3 / 2012).

The researchers measured the levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) to determine whether the egg reserve may be reduced. Approximately 544 women in Connecticut and New York who use fertility assistance a median age of 35 years. After giving effect of age the researchers found that, women with blood type O have a high FSH level indicating decreased egg reserve. Women with blood type O are two times more likely to experience a decrease in fertility compared to women with blood group A and AB.

"Red blood cells have a molecule that attaches to the cell surface such as a flag pole. People with blood type A, AB, and B have enzymes that can modify the molecule as the process of raising the flag on a pole. In blood group O, the flag does not seem to be raised. There the possibility that the blood type O do some unknown function in ovarian cells, "said Pal.

"The process works in the blood may also work in the ovary, but needed a more robust evidence," said Pamela Stanley, a professor of Biology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

"Still need to do more research on the relationship between blood type O and decreased egg reserve," said Pal.

A woman's blood type and the ability to conceive may be related, but lifestyle can also affect fertility.

Surabaya, Indonesia is currently undergoing an attack of Tomcat insects that have been disturbing residents because it caused a reaction in the skin. Dr. Yunis Tri Miko, W, MSc professor of epidemiology in FKM UI said every insect have a role in disease transmission including tomcat. This insect has a poison that can cause a reaction in the skin. "This Insects are found in the garden or fields and usually only cause a reaction in the skin. In contrast to other insects like centipedes, the poison can cause paralysis and nerve poison," said Dr. Tri. He further said if someone exposed to the poison of these insects then promptly cleaned and given anti allergy drugs such as hydrocortisone ointment or betametasone so that the reaction is not excessive.

"The reaction in the body caused by tomcat is different every person, for which no allergies may only cause a little red. But if the person has an allergic reaction or excessive high sensitivity to allergens, it is necessary immediately care".

Tomcat is a type of beetle which has the Latin name Paederus riparius. He lives in moist areas and will generally follow the light from the lamp. This insects usually works to repel and eat animals such as beetle infestation and pests of rice. But if to attack human then this has become a plague and this Tomcat insects often appear when it's dusk and people started turning on the light illumination. Tomcat will excrete toxins from the body or in contact with human skin. These toxins will cause itching and also cause thermal injury to the skin.

Dr.Tri said the health way to prevent it is by spraying insecticides to kill insects and to avoid direct contact with the insects. These pesticides are the vegetable which usually contain laos, neem leaves and lemongrass that aims to kill tomcat insects that have been disturbing residents. Besides other things can be done as a form of prevention is through people's behavior for example by closing doors and windows before turning on the lights, because tomcat is insect that following light.

Tomcat is a beetle that has a size of less than 1 cm. Its body is dark yellow at the top, bottom of abdomen and dark head. The middle of a dark green abdomen and has a pair of wings keras. Usually, these beetles appear by crawling and hiding wings and look more like ants. If disturbed it will raise the abdomen look like scorpion.

These beetles do not sting or bite. Hemolimf fluid thatcontained in the body (except the wings) this animal have the dangerous poison. The toxin was identified as 'aederin' : (C24 H43 N O9) named in 1953. This fluid was allegedly 12x more lethal than cobra venom.

Tomcat will automatically release fluid if event of a collision with a touch of human skin or in person. It could also touch indirectly through towels, clothes or other equipment that is contaminated by toxic tomcat. That is why, if it is exposed to an automatic dermatitis like bedspreads, towels and equipment that was allegedly exposed to toxic tomcat needs to be cleaned.

If a rash occurs after contact with this beetle :

1. If you affected into contact with this beetle, immediately wash the affected area with soap and water.

2. Those who experience a severe skin reaction better to get medical care.

3. For patients who experience a rash propagation, make sure the insect is no longer in bed and close all windows when the evening.

4. Ingredients such as antiseptic solution of potassium permanganate (KMnO4) may be used for washing.

5. Antiseptic mixed with low-strength steroid cream can reduce the injuries.

6. Finally, do not let the wound that is still wet in the sun, because it can cause black scars are difficult to remove.

For treatment, use Acyclovir Ointment 5% which can be found in the Drug Stores / Pharmacies nearby.

Ice Cream

Many women are reluctant to eat ice cream because of fear of fat. Composition of ice cream containing energy, protein, and saturated fat are always blamed as the culprit of obesity. In fact, the energy composition of the ice cream is only about 10% of total daily fat requirement, so the myth is wrong when the ice cream is considered as a cause of obesity.

Ice cream is included in the frozen food that has a semisolid texture and has a high nutritional value. The materials used in the manufacture of ice cream include: milk fat, milk solids non-fat (skim), cream, sugar, stabilizers, emulsifiers, and extract sense. At least 100 grams of ice cream made from milk that has 110-130 calories with protein content of 2.5 - 3 grams.

Because it contains milk that is rich in lactoferrin, and cytokines, then eat the ice cream can actually improve your immune to diseases, including influenza. Ironically, during this ice cream is regarded as a cause of colds, coughs, and colds. In fact, when we eat ice cream, melting ice cream that goes into the mouth is affected by body temperature, so temperature is not cold any longer.

Prohibition of eating ice cream at the hospital also includes the assumption is wrong. At the time of illness, our bodies need plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration. Ice cream is one dish that can provide plenty of fluids for our bodies. The exception is for people with sore throats, asthma, and tonsillitis due to the potential for relapse.

Benefits of ice cream :

1. Calcium content in the ice cream is useful for maintaining bone density, preventing osteoporosis, cancer, and hypertension.

2. Highly nutritious and not fattening

Ice cream does contain fat, especially saturated fat. That caused a lot of people avoid for fear of being fat ice cream. In fact, the energy contribution of ice cream per serving (one cup) of only about 10% of total energy demand and contribution of fat around 15% of total daily fat requirement. They include a small amount, so the less fit when ice cream was accused as the culprit causing obesity.

3. Not Cause Colds

Ice cream is not the cause of cough and cold. Because, when it entered the mouth, ice cream will melt quickly. Ice cream melting rapidly accelerated by the influence of body temperature, so that when the ice cream into the esophageal temperature was not as cold as ice water.

4. Antitumor and HIV

25% -30% content of ice cream is milk. Milk is composed of Lactoferrin, which has a role as agents of non-specific defenses against pathogens. Lactoferrin also has a Antiviral activity, particularly against cytomegalovirus, influenza, and HIV.

Paracetamol is known as a fever-lowering drugs and pain relievers such as headache, toothache, menstrual pain and pain in the muscles. But its use should pay attention to the prescribed dose. If not, life could be floated as experienced by Cynthia Shearer. Cynthia Shearer (68 years) treated for a hip fracture. He must be lying in the hospital and the doctors assured will do anything to relieve his pain.

The family hopes minor operation can make Cynthia immediately went home. But Cynthia had never come home again. After 20 days in the hospital, this grandmother has to die at the age of 68 years.

Not because of a broken hip bone or the operation fails, Cynthia died cause given more than 85 percent a safe dose of paracetamol during the first 48 hours in the hospital. Overdose of painkillers that caused multi-organ failure. Weighing only 34.9 kg, Cynthia should only be given paracetamol dosage children. Please note that the intravenous dose should be based on patient weight, not age.

"It's because of a lack of awareness of junior doctors, nurses, senior doctors and pharmacists, including the chief pharmacist," said Coroner John Ellery, as reported by Mirror.co.uk, Monday (03/19/2012).

The investigation found that a lack of awareness about the guidelines regarding the most widely used drug among senior physicians and pharmacists at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.

"This is especially significant given that the staff may be trained in other places, so it is a concern if their knowledge were similarly less," said Ellery.

Even more alarming, Cynthia is not the first death caused by an overdose of paracetamol. In 2008, Danielle Welch (19 years) died at Glasgow's Southern General Hospital. Adolescents with high 122 cm and weight 34.9 kg examined by 23 different doctors and received 20 doses of paracetamol for adults, twice the amount that is safe for her.

"Paracetamol works by reducing the production of chemicals called prostaglandins. Body to release chemicals in response to illness and injury and they can cause pain and fever," said Helen Darracott, trained pharmacist and director of the Proprietary Association of Great Britain.

Paracetamol is actually safe when used properly, very safe even believed to be used by pregnant women. But when an overdose occurs, it will cause damage to the liver and other organs.
