Eye Floaters are a common phenomenon in our lives because we attach great importance, why? Perhaps the problem is to see something in the business of our vision in an unexpected moment, get rid of a reason to justify this disease. For more severe cases are clinically affected our independence seriously and are considered a person with a visual impairment. It has long been said that some vitamins and minerals have a direct impact on the wellbeing of our eyes. The good old carrot is an example of a reliable source for these elements because it is rich in vitamin A and beta carotene. Like most of us in environments that are fed processed living resources, our bodies are constantly bombarded by toxins in air and water. Antioxidants are included as part of our food and give our bodies a chance.

To prevent further damage or direct, and the repair of our body become stronger and I hope it will not bow to pressure from the environment. As some of the causes of floaters are due to poor blood circulation, food consumption, adding that a good blood supply is promotes a positive step in the right direction. Since patients with diabetes are at a high risk group, swims distance can clearly through better management of blood sugar.

Abnormal Behavior Child

Los Angeles, the controversy surrounding the negative impact of radiation cell phones (mobile phones) are not likely to ever end. Having not been proven to increase the risk of cancer, radiation is now alleged trigger behavioral disorders in children.

Greatest risk experienced by children who are accustomed to using mobile phones since the age was too young. Even in the womb, the fetus is affected by this if the mother is too often use mobile phones during pregnancy.

This finding revealed by researchers from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health recently.Quoted from Ninemsn, Tuesday (07/12/2010), the study involving 28 000 children aged 7 years and 100,000 pregnant mothers between the years 1996-2002.

During pregnancy, mothers filled out a questionnaire about lifestyle, including frequency of use of mobile phones. Similar questionnaire was given again after giving birth, and when his son entered the age of 7 years, while the researchers looked at medical records relating to the child’s emotions and behavior.

The results show children who use mobile phones since the toddler 50 percent more at risk of behavioral problems when entering the age of 7 years. Abnormal behavior was quite variable, one of them focusing attention and hyperactivity disorder (GPPH).

In children who are not accustomed to using mobile phones, the risk remained high during pregnancy if the mother’s frequent use of mobile phones. Not much different from the first group, cell phone usage during pregnancy increases the risk of behavioral disorders by 40 percent when children aged 7 years.

Increased risk of behavioral disorders is quite high when compared with the average cell phone use on children of respondents in the study. In their report, investigators said none of the child respondents who use mobile phones more than 1 hour / week.

This finding is warmed back to the controversy about the dangers of mobile phone radiation. In May 2010, the WHO World Health Organization had confirmed that the increased risk of brain cancer from mobile phone radiation is not significant.

Flu Virus

Circulating influenza viruses are easily changed. Recent studies warn that certain strains of influenza virus is growing and has the ability to spread is greater.

Researchers from the U.S. and Canada asserted that there was resistance to two classes of antiviral drugs currently approved. This condition occurs in several ways and the resistance (immunity) has increased by double in three years.

The research team analyzed 28 seasonal H1N1 influenza virus in five countries during the years 2008-2010 and are resistant to M2 blockers (adamantanes) and neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs), including oseltamivir and zanamivir.

The researchers found that the virus develops resistance rapidly. Whereas previously only due to one cause alone (single-resistant), for example through mutation, drug response, or exchange genes with other viruses.

This study also shows the proportion of resistant viruses tested had double the increase, amounting to 0.6 percent in 2007-2008 to 1.5 percent in 2008-1009 and now at 28 percent in 2009-2010.

These results have been published online on December 7, 2010 in the Journal of Infectious Diseases.

“If the circulation of viruses that have double resistance is widespread, then the treatment options that can be given will be very limited. For that antiviral agents and new therapeutic strategies are likely needed in the future,” said study author Dr. Larisa Gubareva of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention United States, as quoted from HealthDay, Wednesday (12/08/2010).

The experts expressed to cope with the unexpected influenza virus and influenza virus are more resistant, it is necessary to increase creative control and prevention against treatment selection.

Dr. Frederick G. Hayden of the University of Virginia School of Medicine, and Dr. Menno de Jong D from the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands said the things you can do is focus on the effectiveness of zanamivir, combination antiviral therapy and also the development of new antiviral drugs.

Baldness

Cambridge, Most of the causes of hair loss is the frequent use of chemicals, such as coloring, curling, straightening hair repeatedly or mis-use shampoo. But for smokers, the toxins in cigarettes also can trigger hair loss that makes fast bald.

Cigarettes not only cause serious diseases such as heart, lung or cancer, but also ruin the appearance such as skin wrinkles, yellow teeth and also potentially accelerate hair loss baldness.

The amount of nicotine and carbon monoxide in cigarettes have been found to restrict blood flow. This happens because each time increasing the amount of nicotine in the brain, causing the body to activate the stress hormone, thus freeing up stored fat into the bloodstream.

This can reduce the oxygen in the bloodstream. In fact, for optimal functioning hair follicles and produce hair growth at the normal level, cells must have oxygen, nutrients and minerals in sufficient quantities.

Reported by LIVESTRONG on Wednesday (12/08/2010), smoking has been found to increase levels of the hormone responsible for hair loss in men.

A study at Harvard University who studied 1241 middle-aged men, comparing between smokers and non-smokers. The findings showed an increase of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) at 13 percent and also increased 9 percent of testosterone in smokers.

The hormone DHT is the cause of androgenetic alopecia, ie baldness that often occurs in men by shortening the growth (anagen).

In addition, smoking can interfere with or damage the circulatory system is responsible for sending blood to the cells that actually from the hair follicle.

Smoking is also known to accelerate aging. Professor William MacNee of the University of Edinburgh said the cigarette smoke and other pollutants can accelerate aging by creating inflammation in the lungs.

Baby

Observe a baby pup! Color and shape the dirt to reveal the baby’s health condition.

Twenty-four hours after birth, the baby will be “pooped”. The first dirt is usually greenish black, and is called meconium.

Meconium is formed from ingested amniotic fluid when the baby is still in the womb, and was in his intestines since 3 months before birth. Soon after the baby starts to suckle, meconium will push out, because the milk stimulates the baby’s digestive system to begin doing its job.

Change color and shape. After removing the meconium, which issued baby pup will change the color and shape, according to the composition of compounds in breast milk that you gave to them. The following changes and transition colors based on nutrient intake of breast milk:

Liquid green or yellow. Usually this is a transition between meconium dirt and impurities that are formed from the “trash” mother’s milk. Stools like this come out for a few days after birth.
Shaped like a grain of rice, bright yellow color and smell a bit sour. This is usually the feces produced after the baby is consuming milk regularly.
Shaped somewhat dense, pale yellow or yellow-brown, slightly sour smell sharp. This is the manure produced by the infants fed formula milk, in addition to breast milk.
A liquid, without the pulp, and green. It is a appearance of dirt, indicating that the baby has diarrhea.
Round object shaped like a goat dung, solid and hard, blackish color. It is a appearance of dirt that indicate a baby has constipation.
If the baby pup suddenly change shape and color of the reaction accompanied by crying and fussing, you need to give extra attention. Especially, give attention to the foods and beverages you consume can affect the nutritional composition of breast milk that your production.
