Jaw and dental health care
Jaw health is as important to the health of other vital organs like the heart and kidneys. Sometimes, you may hear the “click sound” that comes from the jaw to the ear appears to be normal for some people. However, the voices are actually a sign of an abnormal condition of the TMJ. Every time you experience the signs like that, it is time to go to the dentist for a checkup immediately. You need orthodontist diagnoses, jaw and facial irregularities. The “click sound” in the jaw may also be accompanied by other disturbing sign such as headaches or painful sensation in the throat and mouth area. Patients can also find it very difficult to open or close the mouth. That is because TMJ or experiencing TMJ abnormalities, inflammation and pain may also occur.

Here is how the sun prevents us from heart attack
If during the patient with a heart attack just know CPR, aspirin and blood thinners as a therapeutic treatment, now they can also add sunlight to the list of therapies to treat heart attacks.
The findings, published on 15 April 2012 in the journal Nature Medicine indicate that exposure to strong light, and even during the day can reduce a patient’s risk of heart attack or damage from a heart attack.
The researchers, Dr. Eckle and Holger Eltzschig of the University of Colorado Denver, states, individuals who are victims of heart attacks tend to recover faster if their condition is exposed to sunlight.
The researchers found, the answer lies in the circadian rhythm or body clock, which is associated with light and dark, which is regulated by the protein in organs such as brain and liver, and a protein called Period 2, which plays an important role in maintaining the heart of the damages of a heart attack.
How it works
Researcher explained during a heart attack, oxygen was very little or even not get to the heart. Without oxygen, the heart will find substitute fuels by shifting the metabolism of fat, which is a source of energy and convert it into glucose, to protect heart cells from death.
In laboratory studies using animals exposed mice, circadian rhythms during the day to enable the production of proteins called Period 2. Keep in mind, Period 2, plays a major role in making the heart more efficient metabolism by changing the fuel from fat to glucose, helps the heart to overcome injuries and minimize damage from a heart attack.
“This study shows that the strong light, or even just during the day, can reduce your risk of heart attack or damage from a heart attack,” said Professor Eckle from the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
“For patients, this could mean that sun exposure in the hospital can reduce the damage caused by heart attack,” he added
The researchers noted, the need for further research, especially to understand how light can alter cardiac metabolism in humans, and how exposure to light can be used to treat heart attack patients.
Smart Babies Make Music Learning
A research re-discover the benefits of music for infant brain development. Study from McMaster University scientists indicate, to train children to play music from an early age can provide benefits, even before they can walk or talk.
Researchers found that infants aged one year who participate in interactive music class with their parents tend to smile more, communicate better and showed more brain responses to musical excellence.
“Previously, a lot of research on music training focuses only on children who were older,” said Laurel Trainor, as director of the McMaster Institute for Music and the Mind.
“Our results indicate that the baby’s brain may be very plastic (elastic) associated with exposure to music,” said Trainor who published his findings in the scientific journal Developmental Science and Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences ..
In his research, in collaboration with David Gerry Trainor, a music teacher and graduate student, who received an award from the Grammy Foundation in 2008 to study the effects of musical training on the baby. In the latest study, involving selompok Gerry Trainor and baby and parents to participate and spend time during the six months following the music class every week. Music class is divided into two types.
In the first interactive classroom, parents and babies involved in all things about music such as singing and playing musical instruments. Parents and babies are also working together to learn to play percussion instruments, taking turns and singing certain songs.
In other music classes, baby and parents play different types of toys or dolls while listening to music as background accompaniment. Before class begins, all the babies have shown communication and social development of the same.
“Babies who are participating in an interactive music classes along with their parents have the sensitivity to recognize the structure of the tone,” Trainor said.
“The babies are just passive listening to music does not show the same preference. In fact, their brains respond to music differently. Infants of interactive music classes showed greater brain response to the strains of the musical tones,” he said.
Babies of interactive music classes can also stimulate better communication skills at the beginning, as pointed objects that are out of range, or waving. Socially, these babies also smiled more, more easily to be appeased, and a little disturbed when there are things that are considered foreign to them.
“There are many ways for parents to connect with their babies,” said study coordinator, Andrea Unrau.
“The greatest thing about music is that everyone loved it and everyone can learn to play simple interactive music together,” he concluded.
Identify the section Separate
The amount of conflict experienced by the aircraft Sukhoi Superjet 100 in Mount Salak, West Java, on Wednesday (9/5), making the remains of passengers and crew are not intact. Identification of victims is not easy. Fortunately, advances in science and the discovery of DNA technology allows this.
Until Sunday (5/13/2012), five days after the accident, the new 19 body bag can be evacuated from the disaster site. In addition, there are also three bags of belongings of the victims. Time of the accident, a plane carrying 45 passengers and crew.
Have not found the bodies of victims or victims who did not complete the conditions to make sure the identification process takes a long time.
Executive Director of the Disaster Victim Identification Committee (Disaster Victim Identification) Indonesia Commissioner Anton Castilani at the Police Hospital Sukanto R Said, Jakarta, Saturday (12/5), states need high accuracy in order to cut the bodies were identified as not to confuse.
Separately, Professor of the Department of Forensic Medicine and Faculty of Medicine, University Medikolegal Indonesia, Agus Purwadianto, say, matching pieces of the victim’s body is not whole is not easy. Moreover, pieces of bodies found in a scattered condition.
Therefore, recording the location of the discovery of pieces of the body before it is inserted in a body bag will greatly assist the identification process.
Under normal conditions, identification of victims is usually done using fingerprints. This technique can be used for the body that almost destroyed even if the origin of the condition remains intact.
If the fingerprint technique could be used, the identification performed by forensic techniques odontologi, using the teeth. However, this requires the presence of the victim’s teeth were found.
In case of accident Sukhoi Superjet 100, Agus continued, the only hope of identifying the victims is using forensic testing deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). “The accuracy of this way in determining the identity of victims of the disaster reached 99.9 percent,” he said.
DNA is the carrier of genetic material inherited. In human cells, DNA present in the cell nucleus and mitochondria, which is part of the cell outside the nucleus is a provider of energy for cells.
DNA in the cell nucleus to form strands of chromosomes. Every normal human has 46 chromosomes consisting of 22 pairs of chromosomes of somatic (body-related characteristics) and a pair of sex chromosomes are inherited from the father and mother.
Chairman of the Forensic DNA Laboratory of Eijkman Institute for Molecular Biology Sudoyo Herath said, if the identification of DNA from the cell nucleus is difficult, the identification can be done from the mitochondria.
“The number of mitochondria within a cell can be more than 1,000 pieces,” he said. However, the nature of mitochondrial DNA are shown only from the mother.
Grouped
According to Agus, before forensic DNA testing is done, the forensic experts would classify the pieces obtained by the similarity of characters that look, like skin color, bone length, and body posture.
The existence of a special mark on the victim’s body will also help, such as moles, birthmarks (yet), gingsul teeth, or dental fillings. Similarly, information about objects that are attached to the victim before the accident, such as clothes and accessories are used.
Furthermore, the body parts that have been grouped based on the alleged identity of the person’s physical will be sampled for DNA tests. Usually, not all the pieces of his DNA checked due to ineffective and wasteful.
“DNA tests one by one piece of the victim’s body would make the cost of forensic DNA testing is expensive,” said Herath.
Example for forensic DNA testing can be taken from any body part as long as there has not been broken or the network of his life, especially muscle tissue. Slower parts of the body is rotting pulp (tissue) of the teeth and muscle cells in the pelvis.
DNA testing process actually only takes one day to two days. However, the match which takes a long time.
Suitability of genetic markers
DNA patterns obtained by using short tandem repeat markers (STR) DNA is then matched with data previously taken by the victim’s family. DNA identification is a procedure with STR markers are highly sensitive DNA test because of high variation.
Matching is done by looking at the suitability of genetic markers of the victims and their immediate family. If there is a minimum of 13 markers of genetic fitness, according to the standard Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) United States, confirmed the victim has a relationship with the family.
According to Herath, if forensic DNA test done 24 hours continuously, it is estimated it took a month to determine and match the DNA of victims and their families.
“More and more bodies are still recognizable, its DNA testing process will be faster. In fact, it could be accelerated in two weeks, “he said.
Currently, there are only two laboratories in Indonesia who can perform forensic DNA testing, the Eijkman Institute for Molecular Biology and Medicine Sector Police DNA Laboratory, Center for Medicine and Health, the National Police.
Identification of the bodies of victims of this accident as preparing a very large jigsaw puzzle. The problem, puzzle pieces are not complete, some broken, some are missing.
The easy way how to check Breast Health
Breast cancer is a major threat to women. However, the presence of cancer is often not caught early. In fact, the earlier the cancer is found will increase the chances of the patient to be free of cancer. For better result, in order to maintain breast health, particularly women are advised to do Breast Self-Examination (BSE) regularly, usually several days after menstruation.
But breast cancer is still in about 1 centimeter lump usually could not be palpable, so that periodic checks should be performed using various methods and tools. Here are five early cancer detection methods and equipment are widely known and available:
1. Clinical Breast Test (CBT).
The process consists of intensive examination by a medical professional to identify abnormalities in the size, shape, skin or nipple changes. 20 30 year old women are advised to do the UPK at least once in three years.
2. Mammography.
The process consists of scanning process using X-ray beam of low scale to see the inside of the breast, resulting in black and white images on film that will be read and interpreted by radiologists. Women aged over 40 years, it is advisable to perform mammography every year.
3. Breast Ultrasound.
Ultrasound uses sound waves to scan the breast, which is then projected onto a computer screen in black and white images. Before scanning, the gel is applied on the skin of the breast and the scanner is called a transducer is rubbed into the breast area that has been applied to the gel.
Ultrasound is usually used as a companion to mammography, particularly for breast scans that have a dense network. By combining the methods of mammography and ultrasound, the accuracy is higher.
4. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
MRI does not use x-ray beam but uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce a more detailed imaging. On MRI examination, the patient will be given an injection of gadolinium in the arm to get the details of breast tissue more clearly.
Women who are at high risk of developing breast cancer and thought you should do the MRI, especially if the mammogram and ultrasound did not get clarity.
5. 3D Sonomammogram
In addition to some of the methods above, there is a method of early detection of breast cancer to date, namely Sonomammogram 3D imaging tools with the latest 3D ultrasound technology to acquire, analyze and report the detailed anatomy of the breast volume.
This tool is able to result in a complete image of the breast in three dimensions and comprehensive with test in a relatively short time about 15 minutes. The resulting imagery includes anatomical coronal uruh breast cells that were previously not provided by conventional ultrasound methods.
Thus, the technology provides a more complete picture of the anatomy and architecture of the breast tissue.
9 Bad Habits for health which you should avoid
You should be careful if you are including many people with just the fun things like eating delicious, healthy lifestyles and do not argue for the sake of survival (survival). The impact could be self-destructive, even at risk of dying quickly.
There are at least 9 daily bad habits that can damage and destroy the body itself which you should avoid:
1. Eating Junk Food
overeating junk food is like suicide. Many people died because of what he eats. One was due to heart disease that claimed to be the number one killer in developed countries.
Although some of which are caused by genetics, but in fact most of the deaths from heart disease caused by junk foods with full of fat and sugar.
2. Smoke
Diseases related to smoking is a real killer most preventable.
Only with just a single cigarette, blood pressure can go up and reduce blood circulation to the legs.
3. Watching TV
Not only entertaining, TV also makes people lounging on the couch for hours. If accumulated, the average American spends over 9 years of his life just to stare at the TV, but those years could have been spent on exercise.
Many sit and eat in front of the TV also lead to obesity, so the combination of these three will further accelerate the process of destruction of yourself, although you probably would be smarter by watching channels argue science.
4. Stress
Creating more stress or pressure in your life is a wonderful way to invite all kinds of diseases come into your body.
When you experience chronic stress, the adrenal glands are forced to work overtime until finally tired of the gland itself and inhibit the immune system.
So if you want to spoil yourself, worry about various things, whether trivial or not, and you never know what you will experience it later!
5. Drinking Wine
Drinking alcohol may be beneficial for your body. But if you drank more than two drinks per day or more, it could cause liver damage, diabetes, and the cause of cases of nearly 100,000 deaths each year.
6. Many Driving
Driving kills more people aged 1-35 years from any and statistics can only be reduced if everyone just stayed home.
But if you feel the fact it’s less fun, try it out and speeding, if you need to play your cell phone or eating while driving and not wearing seat belts. Do not be surprised if later on you’ll be part of that figure.
7. Risky Sex
People agree that sex itself is not so bad. Smart people do not hurt him to use protection during intercourse, ignoring each other’s sexual history and avoid the annual medical examination.
As many as 12 million Americans have been convicted of any sexually transmitted disease each year, even many of his victims to be barren.
8. Ignoring the doctor
Many people agree that health is not worth the 30 minutes spent to see the doctor and 526 000 minutes of physical exercise is necessary to once per year.
This statement is a surefire tactic if you want to ignore the early detection of diseases and medical consultations are actually very important.
If you do not want to hear your doctor tell other self-destructive tips that you think is not healthy, it’s better not to go as well.
9. Sacrificing Sleep Clock
Lack of sleep (less than 7-8 hours per night) has been widely associated with various health problems, including obesity, diabetes and cancer.
Mental fatigue is also a major risk factor for accidents in vehicles as well as alcohol.
Just think how much self-destructive behavior that you have done if you add the expense of hours of sleep?
How to prevent Anemia?
Anemia will make the body vulnerable to weak and powerless, because blood could not meet the need of oxygen. If you do not want to develop anemia, there are several ways you can try.
Anemia is a condition characterized by red blood cell count decreased in the blood or it could be caused by a number of red blood cells than normal.
These red blood cells carry oxygen to the brain function and also other organs, if the amount is reduced then there are parts of the body including the brain not getting enough oxygen.
There are several types of anemia, such as iron deficiency anemia, anemia of vitamin B-12 (pernicious anemia), thalassemia and sickle cell anemia. Many consider anemia due to poor nutrition and can be corrected or prevented with a healthy diet.
There are some that anemia can be prevented, though not all. For iron deficiency anemia and vitamin can be prevented with diet that includes a variety of vitamins and nutrients. Avoid junk foods that contain iron and vitamin (folic acid, vitamin B-12, vitamin C).
Here are some ways that your body does not develop anemia:
1. Consume foods which rich iron
Foods that contain lots of iron include beef and other meats, beans, lentils, iron fortified cereals, green leafy vegetables and dried fruit.
2.Consume Foods which rich in folic acid
Foods rich in folic acid such as citrus fruits, bananas, green leafy vegetables, beans and bread, cereal and pasta are fortified folic acid.
3. Vitamin B-12
Sources of vitamin B-12 well is the meat, dairy products, some cereals and soy products, such as soy milk.
4. Vitamin C
Foods rich in vitamin C such as citrus fruits, melons and berries, which can help increase iron absorption.
5. Genetic counseling
If your family has history of anemia, try for genetic counseling. Your doctor or genetic counselor can assess the risk of transmission of inherited anemia, such as sickle cell anemia, thalassemia on your children.
Chewing Gum Rubber is good for Pregnant Women
Chewing gum is already known to give many benefits to your health. It is only attracted children, but actually also good for pregnant women. pregnant women who chew gum could provide benefits to the baby in her womb.
Condition teeth and gums of pregnant women may adversely affect the condition of pregnancy. A study in Chile found that bacteria in the amniotic fluid that is similar to the bacteria in the mouth may increase the risk of preterm delivery as reported from fitpregnancy, one of research institution.
In addition, researchers at New York University found that women with gum disease have a higher risk of diabetes in pregnancy. Oral health of the mother during pregnancy should be treated as it also affects the health of her baby teeth after birth.
The biggest cause of tooth decay in children aged 3 years is because the child has been exposed to the bacteria-producing plaque before the age of 1 year. The bacteria usually come from the mouth of mother who moved to the child such as sharing a spoon.
Pregnant women can reduce the growth of bacteria in the mouth by chewing gum that contains xylitol as much as 67 percent. Chewing gum twice daily for one minute after a meal can make your mouth healthier condition.
The secret of India as one of the world greatest producer of Generic Drugs
As you know, some twenty years ago, India is one of the densely populated poor countries. But, today, India experienced rapid development in pharmacy. What’s the secret?
Several things that we could learn from India:
1. India could make generic drugs with super cheap prices
2. There are many scientists who studied in America many years ago, recently developed drug industry in their country.
3. Domestic market share in large and their residents wanted to use generic drugs.
4. Support people who use generic drugs to make India continued to make large quantities of generic drugs to be exported until the end.
In the pharmaceutical field itself, India is the country’s largest exporter of generic medicines in the world.
The pharmaceutical industry of India has evolved over the years, one factor is due to emerging markets such as Indonesia play a big role because the import of pharmaceutical raw materials from India.
Currently, the Indian pharmaceutical market reached U.S. $ 25 billion and is expected to rise to U.S. $ 74 billion USD in 2020. With the rapid growth of the biotechnology industry about U.S. $ 2 billion and approximately 15.7% of the market developments during the year 2011 and India has ranks fourth in the world resulting in an 8% volume and 2% of the value of production in the world.
By volume, India is also the largest exporter of generic drugs with strong industry because 15% of pharmaceutical scientists in the United States. In addition, the country is also a supplier of active ingredients of the world’s third-largest drug.
Strength of India is capable of producing low-quality medicines so as to compete in markets that have strict regulations or not.
More than 55% of drugs India broke through the emerging markets are very tight market medicine. Developing countries prefer to take generic drugs because the price is 20 times cheaper than patented drugs.
Even in developed countries, India’s drug ingredients sold like hotcakes. This is evident from the three countries most widely imported ingredients from India are powerful countries like America, Russia and Britain. North America itself is the ultimate destination for the shipment of drugs from India.
Of the total exports of Indian pharmaceutical industry, 62% of which are medicines, pharmaceutical raw materials 37% and 1% of the remaining herbs. India is currently supplying 90% of the world’s pharmaceutical raw materials and 20% of drugs in the world.
For the price of HIV drugs, if the price of a standard drug is U.S. $ 10,000, then we can make a price less than U.S. $ 100. Pharmacy exports to Indonesia itself for U.S. $ 45 million of raw materials and generic drugs of U.S. $ 12.5 million.
Generic drugs made in India are exported to Indonesia are antibiotic drugs, anti diabetes, heart medications, anti-hypertension and respiratory medicine.
Many developed countries, developing countries and underdeveloped countries makes India a source of supply of bulk drugs and generic drugs to address health care costs increased.
Furthermore, India now has a unique image as a provider of healthcare products and services are affordable.
Healthy Teeth and Gums
A number of studies suggest that infection epidemiologis which caused by oral cavity, particularly inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) and network support the teeth (periodontitis) is a risk factor for systemic diseases.
Total bacteria in the oral cavity reach hundreds of millions. Xiajing Li et al (2000) recorded more than 1011 bacteria in each milligram of dental plaque. Plaque is a kind of slime that has always stuck to the tooth surface. It’s not all bacteria harmful to the oral cavity. Thus the majority is required for normal mouth flora. Potential of bacteria can cause dental disease, and many are found in systemic disease that is the anaerobic gram negative bacteria. Among other things are P. Gingivalis, B. Intermedius, and A. Actinomycetemcommitans. These bacteria dominant in gingivitis and inflammation around the tip of the tooth root abscess abscess up there) as experienced in the late Leysus.
To obtain information about your oral health should come to the dentist. Dental clinic which will be the place of consultation is San Francisco Dentist. Treatment of teeth and gums will increase your performance in the workplace.
