One Tree for the Future

Why greening need to be considered and must be held on schedule? Why the trees should be planted again and still preserved?
Because trees are living things that are not biased runs but gives a significant role for the creatures that walk.
From a review of research, simply could be concluded that the higher the tree above ground will flourish more and more such benefits is to produce oxygen (O2) 1.2 kg / tree / day.
Meanwhile, the ground under the tree the function of which is menyerapkan ground water, soil grain binding, binding of water from soil pores by capillarity and surface stands.
Tree roots absorb rain water into the soil so it does not flow in vain. Then bind the soil and water dipori make a backup of water in the dry season.
So that soil water availability on an ongoing basis to stay awake and make debiut springs, rivers and lakes remain large, and there is no drought in the dry season and floods during the rainy season does not occur.
Tree roots also bind soil particles bouts, which can prevent erosion and landslides.
Jungle trees recycle the rain and build a microclimate maintained, controlled humidity and rainfall decrease.

Between The Workplace With Lung Cancer

Certain jobs can increase the risk of lung cancer for men. Some Italian researchers suggested this after finding five percent of lung cancer in men associated with the work, although smoking is still the cause of lung cancer is much greater than any factor.
Dario Consonni of Foundation IRCCS Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico in Milan and his colleagues discovered that as many as five percent of lung cancer in men, and work-related chemicals where danger in the workplace played a huge role "risk of lung cancer.
Their study, which was broadcast American Jounal of Epidemiology, examined the relationship between lung cancer and a good job of known or suspected to increase the risk of the disease in 2100 affected people diagnosed with lung cancer and 2120 healthy people matched, based, gender and lodging.
As many as 12 percent of men who worked at a place known to keep his official job risk of lung cancer. The workplace is like mine, where the metal processing, and certain types of construction work.
Male workers who work 74 percent penstimulasi risk of cancer, diagnosed more susceptible to lung cancer.
The strongest connection seen in the work of ceramic and pottery and brick making, and work in the manufacture of metal nonbesi.
The same percentage of cancer patients and healthy people - as many as one in five people - doing work that allegedly associated with lung cancer, but did not show increased risk at all.
But researchers did find "a very significant risk" to the workers at the fueling station, and for people working in the leather processing, glass worker, and welder.
In addition to the group of men, there are 385 women who entered into the study, which is known only three of all cancer patients and two healthy people to work in a place known penstimulasi associated with lung cancer.
That translates into four-fold increased risk of cancer, but because very few women were exposed, the number is "not right", said the researchers reported Reuters Health.
They did find "alleged" increased risk of cancer in which the perempuran officer laundri and cleaners.
"The findings in this study confirm the need for continuous monitoring and monitoring of exposure peningkatakan associated with good jobs for the purpose of prevention or compensation to the workers," concluded the researchers. (AntaraNews)

Relationship the Internet with Depression

People who spend a lot of time to surf the Internet are more likely to show signs of depression.
It is not clear whether the Internet causes depression or whether depressed people who are interested to use it.
The psychologist from Leeds University found what they say as proof of "striking" that some people are enamored of using the Internet to develop the habit of encouragement to be in a network (online).
Through these activities, they can replace the real world social interaction with chat room "online" and social networking pages.
"This study strengthens the public opinion that the involvement in the network that serves to replace the normal social function may be associated with psychiatric disorders like depression and addiction," wrote the study's lead author, Catriona Morrison, in the journal Psychopathology.
"This kind of surfing addiction can have a serious impact on mental health," he said, Reuters reported.
In the first large-scale study of young people to study the West's case, the researchers analyzed the use of the Internet and levels of depression in the 1319 British people aged between 16 and 51 years.
They concluded, among those studied, 1.2 percent of "Internet addiction".
People who "Internet addiction" was finished, prominently, more time to surf on the network that satisfy them sexually, pages games "online" and the "online", said Morrison.
They are also more experienced events moderate to severe depression compared with the normal user.
"Excessive Internet use associated with depression, but what we do not know which is which occurs first - whether the depressed people interested in using the Internet or whether the Internet causes depression?" Morrison said.
"What is clear is that for a small group of people, excessive Internet use can be a warning sign for the tendency of depression," he said.
Morrison said although the amount of 1.2 percent for those who are categorized as "addiction" was small, it was still more than the gambling event in the UK, which amounted to as much as 0.6 percent.

Oxygen

A normal human would need oxygen? About 375 liters per day. Naturally, we get oxygen to breathe through the lungs. Oxygen to the lungs and then into the alveoli and be bound by the hemoglobin in the blood. Then distributed to the entire body to assist the combustion process glucose into energy.

Once we breathe, the lungs can hold about 500 ml of air into the body. In tired condition, such as after exercise, the need will increase 5-10 fold. When you exercise, your body will feel tired because of reduced oxygen intake.

At room temperature, the water naturally contains oxygen was as much as 10 ppm or 10 milligrams per liter. At lower temperatures (eg in a refrigerator), oxygen levels can be increased up to 15 ppm.

Oxygen is now not only inhaled, but can also be added through the digestive tract. Almost the same as drinking water in other containers, oxygen water comes from ground or spring that has been through the process of distillation, and then at the end of the process is added to the oxygen. Through technology keeper oxygen, water contains oxygen was relatively small, can now reach 10-fold higher levels of oxygen. Water oxygen usually contain 80 ppm of oxygen per bottle. However, oxygen is dissolved in the water? Is highly volatile and easily separated again, especially if the water is in the cases above room temperature (25-30oC), exposed to heat, or exposed to direct sunlight.

Actual benefits of oxygen water has so far not proven scientifically or clinically.? Please note, if the intake of oxygen in the body in the normal levels, it will support our health. However, if the level is too high, it would be dangerous because it is oxygen free radicals. Free radicals is one of the trigger cancer.

Sign - a sign of lack of oxygen

* Agency tired, tired and listless
*. Rapid immune decline so susceptible to infection.
* Muscle aching - sore and rheumatic pain - shooting pain.
* High blood pressure / low.
* Indigestion.

Benefits of oxygen to the body

* More oxygen in the body will be immune miningkatkan so not susceptible to disease.
* More oxygen in the muscles will improve performance, so it looks more fresh and always energetic.
* More oxygen in the brain makes us think clearer, sharper and more wapada.
* More oxygen in the skin will make the skin fresher, more healthy and youthful.

How healthy mechanism occurs
The human body consists of the organ - an organ consisting of cells. If our cells healthy enough oxygen then we would be healthy organs that eventually our bodies will be healthy. If our cells of oxygen deficiency (hypoxia) will hurt the cells that will cause the organ too ill finally make the body sick.

So that every disease is basically a result of damage Sel, Take care of each cell consumes you with 8 drops of CELLFOOD ® every day to ensure your health,
so that severe cases of the disease such as cancer, tumors, diabetes, stroke, heart, etc. very easily avoided.

Antibody fnds, wipes out prostate cancer

US researchers have found an antibody that hunts down prostate cancer cells in mice and can destroy the killer disease even in an advanced stage, a study showed Monday.

The antibody, called F77, was found to bond more readily with cancerous prostate tissues and cells than with benign tissue and cells, and to promote the death of cancerous tissue, said the study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS).

When injected in mice, F77 bonded with tissue where prostate cancer was the primary cancer in almost all cases (97 percent) and in tissue cores where the cancer had metastasized around 85 percent of the time.

It recognized even androgen-independent cancer cells, present when prostate cancer is incurable, the study by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania showed.
F77 "initiated direct cell death of prostate cancer cells... and effectively prevented tumor outgrowth," it said.

But it did not target normal tissue, or tumor tissues in other parts of the body including the colon, kidney, cervix, pancreas, lung, skin or bladder, the study showed.

The antibody "shows promising potential for diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer, especially for androgen-independent metastatic prostate cancer," which often spreads to the bones and is difficult to treat, the researchers wrote in PNAS.

Currently, the five-year survival rate for metastatic prostate cancer is just 34 percent, according to the study.

Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men, claiming half a million lives each year worldwide, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO)

Too many bad Sitting With Little Sport

Sitting all day may greatly increase the risk of diseases related to lifestyle, even if someone adds dose for moderate or vigorous exercise routine, said several scientists.

Health benefits of physical activity that accelerates the heart rate no longer debated; that, among other things, help prevent heart disease and blood vessels, diabetes, and obesity.

But scientific findings recently also showed that the condition of prolonged motionless while people sit may be independently associated with such conditions.

"When sitting should be defined as muscle activity and not a lack of exercise," concluded a team of Swedish researchers.

"We need to consider that we are dealing with two different behaviors and its impact," they report in the Journal of Sports Medicine, UK.

Led by Elin Ekblom-Bak of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, the scientists proposed "new paradigm of psychology did not move", and urged other researchers to rethink the definition of lifestyle sit constantly.

They pointed to a study recently of Australian adults who showed that every day an hour increase in the sitting while watching television increases metabolic syndrome rates among women by 26 percent - no matter the amount of moderate exercise diligently-until-done.

Daily physical exercise for 30 minutes reduce the risk of the same percentage, thus showing that a person who had spent most of her spare time sitting or lying on the couch, for example, can eliminate the benefits of using "treadmill" or cycling.

Metabolic syndrome is defined as the presence of three, or more, factors including high blood pressure, abdominal obesity, high cholesterol or insulin resistant conditions.

New research is needed to see if there is a causal relationship between the immobile and this condition and, if so, how do they work, the researchers said.

One candidate is "lipoprotein lipase" - an enzyme produced in fat cells (adipocytes) and tied at the capillary walls - or LPL.

This enzyme plays an important role in the break down of fat in the body into a useful form.

A recent study shows that LPL activity, in mice, in striking down through stretching activities - as low a level that enables one-tenth of a rat running.

LPL levels for such activities "not too different from the rats exposed at levels higher motion", the scientists said.

"This emphasizes the importance of local muscle contractions, and not a strong stretch," said the researchers reported the French news agency, AFP.

All studies showed that people not only need frequent exercise, but also to avoid sitting in one place for too long, they said.

Walk up the stairs and not use the elevator, rest for five minutes from the desk, and walk when possible to deliver a messenger and not a car is strongly recommended. (AntaraNews)

Created Immediately Artificial Pancreas

 Artificial pancreas will be created by the scientists of diabetes with insulin pump manufacturer, Animas.
The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) on Wednesday (13 / 1) suggests local time, they choose the unit from Johnson & Johnson is to develop and try new technologies, namely the pump and control system for type-1 diabetes.

"This will be a research and development of the first stage towards the creation of artificial pancreas," he said. Henry Anhalt, director of medical affairs of Animas, as quoted by Maggie Fox of Reuters.

Animas will work with the foundation that creates a combination of recording devices of glucose, insulin pumps, and some software to wireless technology. The new system will facilitate the people with diabetes to check blood and inject insulin.

The goal is a tool that can check the blood at any time and inject insulin as needed, without the help of others. This means that this technology into the future to just one package, either insulin pump or glucose entry system only.

"Herein lies the magical power, when the tool is able to communicate with each other. Now the tool is already available but still separate, "said Alan Lewis, chief executive officer and president of the JDRF.

The trust has spent years working with centers of knowledge to build a perfect system and could be marketed.

"Animas is a body that provides the equipment. JDRF will be a partner that uses our knowledge and expertise, "said Lewis again.

Foundation was poured eight million dollars for the next three years for the project. The goal is to have the first generation technology of these sophisticated devices that can be evaluated during the next four years.

Type-1 diabetes is a disease "autoimune", ie actually the body's immune system destroying the pancreas cells that produce insulin. Body no longer able to dissolve and use the sugar. If not treated, it will damage the blood vessels and nerves, organs, and eventually died.

In fact, if untreated, the blood vessels and damaged organs remain, blindness, kidney failure, and even loss of limbs. In the United States (U.S.) estimated three million people, average children and adolescents, diabetes type-1.

"This could be a first aid for not only improve glucose control but also lift the entire burden," said Aaron Kowalsky from JDRF.

Is rudimentary software that regulates insulin pumps and blood sugar that is not too high or low. Animas and JDRF will work together to find the best formula for it and try it.

"No single algorithm was consistent with the symptoms of the patient," said Anhallt, a specialist child pancreas organs.

According to Lewis, DexCom Inc.. which creates glucose control equipment that will provide their products become part of the package.

"We believe that Animas is a field leader that will allow us to market a product," said Lewis. The target is to create technology that is trusted by physicians, patients, and parents.

"All parents who have to wake up every night to check her blood sugar levels will be more relieved that their children are no longer going up because his blood sugar levels are very low," review Kowalski, who also suffered from type-1 diabetes.

He added, "Here the quality of life are not exaggerated." (AntaraNews)

See and Treat Method to Prevent Cervical Cancer

See and treat method can be simple and inexpensive way of preventing cervical cancer (cervical) because only two dollars worth of United States (U.S.) or equivalent to Rp20.000.

Scientists in the UK told Reuters as suggested, the method can help doctors prevent 100,000 cervical cancer deaths in women in poor countries.

Cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in women in developing countries, the greatest obstacle due to a lack of health service infrastructure and high cost of check and vaccines.

Researchers in England say, menggunakkan visual tinjuan acetic acid (VIA) can cut costs compared to human inspection papilomavirus (HPV) or cervical cells worth nine dollars (equivalent Rp90.000) common practice in many developing countries.

Approximately 300,000 women worldwide die from cervical cancer each year and more than 85 percent of deaths occur in poor countries.

"VIA is an effective media and affordable to detect the early spread of cervical cancer in women in developing countries," said David McGregor, head of research at the University College London.

He also argued, "The couple are tested through a simple treatment, can potentially reduce the number of cancer deaths are up three times, which means saving 100,000 women each year."

VIA is a simple test by giving very small doses of acetic acid and applied in order to detect early cervical cancer cells, and positive trends can be identified.

This tersebutmerujuk to see and treat method according to the experts claim that the method can be performed in small clinics without adequate equipment and laboratories.

Drug company Merck & Co and GlaxoSmithKline make Gardasil and Cervarix vaccine is useful to prevent the spread of HPV, which is a common illness spread through sexual contact and also the main cause of cervical cancer in the world.

They have a data that unlike in poor countries, the examination and vaccination programs developed to fight serviksnya HPV, there is ease of inspection and delivery of vaccines in many countries, such as Africa and Asia.

Research journal of obstetrics and gynecology in rural communities isolated revealed that VIA is effective, acceptable to women, and can reduce mortality.

However, the researchers also called, the importance of caring for an early inspection to increase the participation of the population also becomes a challenge. (AntaraNews)

Radiation trigger Stroke and Heart Disease

A study of atomic bomb survivors in Japan committed during 53 years show evidence that they have a higher risk of stroke and heart disease due to radiation.

British Medical Journal which publishes told Reuters that the study involved 86,611 survivors of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, which forced Japan's surrender to the Allies and the war marked the end of the world (PD) II.

The researchers note, every atom bomb victims exposed to radiation doses between 0 and 4 Gy (Gray) at the time of the disaster occurs.

Gray is a unit for calculating the absorbed radiation using special equipment called a dosimeter, and the amounts vary in each person, depending on the location and protection at the time of the bombing occurred.

"This study provides the strongest evidence that radiation can increase stroke and heart disease dose sufficient (particularly 0.5-2 Gy), although the results below 0.5 Gy was not statistically significant," say researchers in Japan.

He also argued, "Further research should provide precise estimates of risk at low doses."

According to researchers, it is a public health problem is important, because the increasing use of various types of scanners Computed Tomography (CT) scan and high dose treatment procedures.

Treatment that uses radiation is usually measured in milligray (mgy). The average radiation dose of x-ray abdomen was 1.4 mgy (0.0014 Gy), whereas the abdominal CT scan was 8.0 mgy (0008 Gy), and pelvic CT scans of the 25 mgy (0025 Gy).

Research led by Yukiko Shimizu Research of Radiation Effects Research Foundation in Japan, researchers monitored the victim survived from 1950 to 2003 and found that 9600 people died from stroke and 8400 people die from heart disease.

Researchers found a high risk of stroke and heart disease at a dose of about 0.5 Gy, and the condition will appear at higher doses.

According to the researchers, the result of a low dose is not clear and they hope research will come to find it. (AntaraNews)

Fats In Food Not Influence Weight Gain

People who want to maintain a healthy weight does not need to obsess about the consumption of fat in their diet, according to new research.

The percentage of calories derived from fat person, the opposite with protein and carbohydrates, do not have a relationship with their body weight a few years ahead, said the research team.

Type of fat they consume do not affect anything, so the findings of Dr Nita Forouhi Institute of Metabolic Science, Addenbrooke Hospital, Cambridge, England, and colleagues.

Findings, Forouhi said in an e-mail to Reuters Health, show that "more important to focus on lifestyle including healthy foods and healthy physical activity regularly, rather than concentrating only on fat consumption as a weight enhancer factor".

Role of foods that contain fat in obesity and weight gain is still a debate, said Forouhi and his team. In order to investigate the problem, they examined data on almost 90,000 men and women from six different countries participating in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition Study.

The development of all participants followed for 10 tahun.Rata average fat consumption ranged from 31.5 percent to 36.5 percent of the total number of calories. On average, the weight increased a quarter pounds each year.

Analysis that takes into account several factors not found an association between weight gain in the amount of fat they consume, or their consumption of polyunsaturated fat versus saturated fat.

These findings should not be viewed as showing that people can eat as much fat they want, Forouhi said.

"That's absurd, considering a lot of evidence already exists about the potential dangers of many foods high in saturated fats and trans fats for heart health, for example," the researchers said.

In the U.S., he says, advice on food stipulates that people should keep fat consumption, which is as much as 25 percent to 35 percent of calories, and eat fat "healthy" from fish, nuts, and vegetable oils instead of trans fats and saturated fat "unhealthy".

He added, "the healthiest way to avoid weight gain is to ensure that, when the time is right, the calories consumption is limited by reducing one's consumption of added sugar, fats, and alcohol, which all provide calories do not contain little or no basic nutrition.

The goal is to oversee the food portion sizes (so that the portion sizes of food consumed was increased from time to time), and at the same time people doing regular physical activity. (AntaraNews)

How My Skin Hear

Skin heard? It sounds absurd, but a new study proves, humans not only hear with your ears, but also through the skin.

The findings are based on the experiment. Experiment participants were asked to listen to any syllable air blowing on their skin, and their brains will receive and integrate information from different senses to create a picture of the situation around.

Together with other work recently, the research throws the traditional view of how people interpret the world in their heads.

"(It) is very different from more traditional opinion, which is based on the fact that we have eyes so we think we are seeing the visible information, and we have ears so we thought ourselves to hear the information that can be heard. That's a bit misleading," Researchers said the study Gick Bryan from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, to the writer Jeanna Bryner LiveScience

"The more likely explanation is that we have a brain and not feel we have eyes that see and ears that hear." With such capabilities, Gick sees man as "sensitive machines throughout the body," Bryner said livescience.com pages.

The study, funded by the "Natural Sciences and Engineering Council of Canada" and "National Institutes of Health", specified in the journal Nature, published 26 November.

Gick's work is built on a variety of past studies showing, for example, "we can see the light and heard a voice", even if we knew it by accident. Other studies show "if you watch someone's lips moving and thought someone else was talking, the sense of hearing in the area of your brain will glow," Gick said.

Many scientists have explained the bow of such sensing as a result of experience, "when we see and hear people talk all the time so naturally to know how to integrate what we see with what we heard".

The choice will be the ability traits. And thus Gick and his partner Donald Derrick, who is also from the University of Brititsh Columbia, studied the two senses are not generally in pairs - hearing and touch - to find out the base of perception.



How skin heard

The team focused on the spoken voice with the blast, such as "pa" and "ta" which involves a blast of air that can not be heard when spoken, and unspoken voices in blast, such as "ba" and "da".

Participants who closed his eyes listening to the recorded voice told him that each of the four syllables and have to press buttons to indicate which sound they hear ( "pa, ta, ba, or da").

All participants were divided to three groups comprising 22 people, and one group listening while syllables blowing air is forced into their hands, the other air blown into their neck, and the monitors listening to the sound without blowing air.

As many as 10 percent of the time when the air exhaled into the skin, all participants received erroneously spoken syllables without blowing the same air as that spoken by the air blast. So, when people say "ba", participants will indicate they heard the sound "pa".

Monitoring groups showed no such misperception.

A further experiment when participants tapped the skin and not get a breath of air showed no mixed between the spoken voice with and without blowing air.

Next, Gick collaboration with scientists from the University of California, San Francisco, to find out how the brain allowing the integration of many such senses.(AntaraNews)

Sick Leave Heart Walk

Jakarta - Walking slowly may not only mean that people arrive at their destination longer but it also claimed victims of human health, according to findings of a study in France.

Scientists from the medical research institute based in Paris, Inserm, found that people who are older and slow almost three times more likely to die of heart disease and other related causes compared with those older and run faster.

"The main message for the general population is to maintain fitness in old age may have important consequences and help preserve life and function of muscle," said researcher Alexis Elbaz, Inserm Director of Research, told Reuters Health.

He said the study, published in the journal BMJ, has also shown that people walking speed tests may be used to check the health of elderly patients.

Several previous studies have linked the slow people walking with an increased risk of dying during a given period, and with other results of poor health, but did not show whether it is a heart disease or other causes responsible for the greater risk it.

Studies for five years, part of the Three Cities Study, which was conducted by Inserm, involving more than 3,200 men and women who are relatively healthy and aged 65 to 85 years. They lived in three cities in France.

At the beginning of the study in 1999, the scientists assess the health of each participant and calculated the speed of the participants as they walked in the corridor as quickly as possible.

Over the next five years, 209 participants died - 99 percent of cancer, 59 due to heart disease, and 53 due to infectious diseases and other causes - and the overall mortality rate of almost 7 percent.

The death rate among one third of participants who walked at the latest, a man who walked with about 3.4 miles per hour or even slower and women who walked about three miles per hour or slower, 44 perser is higher than in the two-thirds of participants who have run faster.

Deaths from heart attacks, strokes and other related causes was 2.9 times more common among third of participants who walked at least compared with participants who run the fastest.

The increase in mortality due to heart disease seen in men and women and not related to the age of the participants or how they are physically active.

The researchers found no link between walking speed and other causes of death, including cancer.

What explains the connection between slow and deaths from heart disease?

Elbaz says one possibility is that the same risk factors that increase the risk of heart disease - high blood pressure and diabetes - also resulted in "silent stroke", which makes people difficult to walk fast. The idea was "worthy of study followed by a further confirms it", he said. (ANTARA News)
