Toxins in Cigarettes

2011-01-10T19:53:00.000-08:00

Maybe you think only smoking a cigarette alone will not cause health problems. Think again. Therefore, American scientists found a cigarette is enough to block arteries and trigger heart attacks.

Tobacco smoke contains hundreds of toxic chemicals can directly cause damage to organs. In a recent study surgeon found no safe level of exposure a person exposed to cigarette smoke, both for active smokers and passive smokers.

This is because the cigarette smoke seeping directly into the bloodstream, chemically changing the organ so that the clot and arterial pressure. As a result, the artery narrows and closed. The report also found that even exposure to cigarette smoke in a short time can trigger a heart attack.

However, for those who want to quit smoking, never too late. Start now! Because, in the report also described what happens in the body when a person stops smoking

- 20 minutes: Blood pressure and pulse rate return to normal

- 8 hours: Nicotine and carbon monoxide levels in the blood is reduced half and oxygen back to normal.

- 24 hours: Carbon monoxide is lost from the body. The lungs begin to eliminate mucus and other smoking kototran result.

- 48 hours: The body cleanse nicotine from the body. The ability to feel the sense of smell and taste increases

- 72 hours: Breathing becomes easier. Bronchial tubes begin to relax and increase energy levels.

- 2-12 weeks: circulation improves.

- 3-9 months: Coughing, and respiratory problems increase with improvement in lung function by 10 percent

- 5 years: Risk of heart attack drops to about half compared to the smokers.

- 10 years: Risk of lung cancer is half of the smokers. The risk became similar to the non-smokers.

Why People Difficult to Stop Smoking

2011-01-10T19:44:00.000-08:00

A new study published in the journal Biological Psychiatry found that the habit of smoking can reduce the thickness of the human brain.

Researchers compared the thickness of the cortex on volunteers, both smokers and who had never smoked, who have no medical or psychiatric illness. The cortex is the area of the brain that is responsible for many important functions, including language, information processing, and memory.

The result is stunning. People who smoke thinned cortex in the left middle orbitofrontal. People who smoke more frequently, according to the study, depletion of cortical networks will be increasingly obvious.

These findings show, with thinning of the cortex, then the risk of becoming a drug addict rose, even she will increasingly become heavy smokers.

Because of the thinning, it will be associated with impulse control, reward processing and decision making. This condition may explain how someone can become addicted to nicotine.

Ways to Heal Broken Heart

2011-01-01T22:23:00.000-08:00

Disconnect love is something that is not easy. However, if the love relationship has been running poorly, regarded as something separate for the best. It's not easy to deal with it because the recovery process could be longer. However, to continue to defend it also does not necessarily make you happy.

In other words, the worse these relations, it is increasingly difficult to move. So you do not be in a situation like this, you need to know how to overcome the bitter breakup. So you do not be in a situation like this, you need to know how to overcome the bitterness of a breakup:

1. Get support from family and friends

Although usually at moments like this, you prefer or need time to themselves but not hurt you to be close to the people who care and love you like family or close friends. Spending time with family and friends can be helpful to re-awaken the spirit and self-esteem and your confidence. Usually destroy all of this bad relationship. And you need help to re-fix this.

2. Try to re-identify yourself

It may take a long time where you can do it. You should see your error and that regardless of the mistakes made by others. You need to spend some time to get to know yourself. After all, every person who becomes part of your life will surely change. And that you should know that the relationship has also changed and you have to move forward so that the change will not surprise you or someone else when you start a new relationship.

3. Change your attitude in dealing with a breakup.

After making the decision to end the relationship, you should be able to handle it until he could re-establish a new relationship. Avoid hurting yourself and bring memories of the past with your ex-girlfriend. Eliminate all associated with the former, delete photos, love letters so as not to make you remember back to the past. And most importantly you must remember that this is beginning to start a new life

Slim Healthy With Swimming

2010-12-07T23:49:00.000-08:00

Mostly, people like to swim. Unfortunately, fun activities with the dip in the pool is more often simply acted while on vacation. In fact, many of the benefits you can feel if you do it regularly.

Swimming is a sport that can do all the people of any age or level of fitness conditions of any kind, even stroke patients and pregnant women are also advised to choose this sport. Not only that, it makes water sports as part of a weight loss program is also a good option.

Swimming is part of physiotherapy in the water. Anyone can swim and also a good way to maintain the condition of the body and burn calories. Will easily burn calories while you are swimming, because swimming movement works on all muscle, is different from regular fitness routines.

The theory behind this is the fact that water is added pressure 12 times greater than air, thus requiring more effort to move through the water. If the techniques in sports pool conducted properly, this activity is also good for maintaining muscle. Swimming useful build resilience to the respiratory muscles and heart.

Swimming is also believed to be a natural low-risk sports injuries. Unlike jogging and running, swimming does not provide too much pressure on the muscles and bones of the body. That is why the pool is known as a sport without risk, especially if you use the correct technique.

Buoyancy of water is known to support and sustain the body's 90 percent, so the water can act more like a cushion and protect you from injury.

In addition, the swim also have benefits like meditation. Therefore, water activity requires focus. You need to concentrate on movement and breathing rhythms. Most importantly, this exercise has a calming effect, so that could affect therapy to increase stamina.

Danger No Breakfast

2010-10-27T18:47:00.000-07:00

A schedule of eating that is often forgotten is the breakfast. Breakfast is often overlooked simply because the reasons do not have time, get up late and so forth. In fact, breakfast is precisely the most important meal schedule.

If you regularly skip breakfast, this practice could endanger health. One of them, could increase the risk of heart disease. Avoid breakfast and select the move with an empty stomach can actually cause obesity. Excessive hunger before noon makes you eat more high fat foods. This can cause fat to accumulate around the abdomen, and improve cholesterol levels, which is a major risk factor for heart disease.

In addition, there was no food intake in the morning could also trigger higher insulin levels in the blood. If this condition goes on and on can be the precursor of diabetes. Those who are at risk of experiencing health problems due to neglect breakfast is an adult who regularly move without breakfast since the age they are still children, and the habit continued until they mature.

As a result, when they were in the late twenties, already detected that they have symptoms develop jantung.Selain disease, there is evidence that express, skipping breakfast can change the way you store body fat. Will accumulate more fat in the abdomen, which can be gelaja heart disease.

Avoided for Breast Cancer

2010-10-26T20:45:00.000-07:00

Breast Cancer became the number two killer women after cervical cancer or cervical cancer. Up to now, unknown primary cause of this disease. In fact, young women also began to be threatened.

Early detection is needed to avoid breast cancer. Sometimes there are women who have made diet and healthy lifestyle, but still experiencing this disease. In addition to early detection, each woman also needs to enrich the information on this disease. Every 2 years began doing breast ultrasound, and regular check-ups. Women also need to know its risk factors.

The following risk factors that could cause breast cancer:
1. Not having children
2. Women over age 35 years
3. Genetic factors or genetic risk of breast cancer can be from 5 to 7.5 percent
4. Women who had suffered from benign breast tumors when young
5. Obesity factor
6. Women are more often active at night. This can happen because the hormone melatonin, which is getting lower and cause the hormone estrogen increases

Four Things Can Damage Teeth

2010-10-24T22:06:00.000-07:00

There are some habits that you might not have thought could lead to dental problems. Tooth decay is triggered not only lazy habit of brushing teeth. There are some habits that you might not have thought could lead to dental problems.

Here are four trigger tooth decay is not known to many people, as quoted from Shine.

1. Acid drinks
Recent research Birmingham University found that consumption of sports drinks supplements trigger serious dental erosion and infection. Researchers tested two unnamed drinks and found levels that can shed tooth enamel.

The condition is likely due to the acidity levels that are contrary to normal PH balance of the mouth. Chemicals such as soda with aspartame acid also can make the teeth have worn. In fact, highly acidic juice can also cause infection and erosion from time to time.

2. Lipstick smear
According to the research team from the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, lipstick contains paraffin which can erode tooth enamel. When eroded enamel, the teeth become porous and creates the growth of bacteria. The effect is tooth decay, infection and fracture. Instead, choose a lipstick that does not contain paraffin.

3. Carbohydrate
High carbohydrate snack products are also not good for teeth. Once broken down into simple sugars that the effect is the same as sugar on the teeth. Sugar causing bacteria and plaque that causes gum disease and tooth cavity.

4. Too often brushing
According to the American Dental Association, brushing too often can make the abrasion on the teeth. Akibatkanya teeth become more sensitive and easier to feel pain. To avoid this, choose a toothbrush that is soft and hairy special toothpaste for sensitive teeth.

Six Ways to Conserve Water

2010-10-24T00:09:00.000-07:00

During this time you may not be difficult to get clean water. Although so if you do not save water and keep it, it is not possible within the next few years could be a need for clean water is scarce.

That's why you should start the habit of saving water. Many ways you can do to keep the water clean from now on, the following six-way.

1. Avoid plastic bottles
Mineral water packed in disposable plastic bottles is very inefficient. Packaging plastic bottles are very difficult to break down in the soil, to parse even take a long time. Toxins in plastic bottles can also contaminate soil and water resources. We recommend using bottles that can be used multiple times and replenished.

2. Use a water filter
If you are concerned with water quality, to get drinking water use water filter equipment. More efficient because you do not need to buy water every time and does not require a plastic gallon. Easy, inexpensive and free of garbage.

3. Put the shower
Place the shower is closer to the head. This will make you berbilas faster, so the bath can be done in five minutes maximum of 10 minutes.

4. Replace flush toilet
Many toilets are wasteful of water. If your toilet so immediately replace with the new, more efficient flush water.

5. Cut grass
Do not be too much to plant grass. To maintain it requires a lot of water. Select only plants that are not too much water to maintain it. You can ask the seller of the plant.

6. Do not let the faucet is leaking
Immediately repair or replace it if there is a leaking faucet. Let it will only make the water wasted. Not to mention the pump that can be constantly lit. Not only saves water but also electricity.

Fight Diabetes with Seaweed

2010-09-28T19:10:00.000-07:00

Trouble with diabetes? Could be, seaweed solution. Thus the results of medical research, published magazines Plant Foods for Human Nutrition December 2008 issue. According to research from the University Awai K Aomori, Japan, the content of methanol extracts from seaweeds Echlonia type stolonifera efficacious as anti-diabetic and anti-oxidants. Test efficacy studies that brown seaweed using rats exposed to diabetes and in vitro methods.
The content of high-level polyfenol strongly inhibit alpha-glucosidase in vitro and prevent the increase in plasma glucose and lipid peroxide levels in a rat experiment in small doses. The study also showed that rats fed seaweed extract for four weeks could reduce the high levels of plasma glucose after the animals were given a sugar crystal.

Inhibition of alpha-glucosidase is an effective way to prevent the development of diabetes. Control of blood glucose is also essential for hyperglycemic patients. Awai concluded that seaweed type E. stolonifera useful as a food is healthy and has the effect of anti-diabetic and antioxidant in vivo. In addition, seaweed is also useful to prevent diabetes and is also useful for development as anti-diabetic medication and entered as a healthy food menu. (Material taken from foodconsumer.org)

For Outstanding Career Stay on Top

2010-09-28T18:56:00.000-07:00

This article takes from Vivanews.com. Have fallen from their peak to a place you never imagined before? This condition may occur. Many people are already at the top, had suffered a career decline. Maintaining a career position is more difficult than building. Therefore, if you want to stay at the top, you need to have a powerful strategy.

It takes investment 'assets' you to keep and maintain the success you have achieved today. These assets, among others:

1. Time
Time is the most valuable. If passed, the time can not be returned. Thus, use of time as possible just for the things that is oriented around the growth and stability of your career. Allocate your time only for productive activities and important.

2. Material
Building wealth is not only knowing the strategy earn big. But we also need to know about managing money. The trick is simple, larger servings of 'rice' (read: money) is invested back instead of rice consumed.

No matter how much your current income, try to reinvest the money. Usefulness, can be a 'pillar' career when you have a problem, so that your life is not really collapsed. Even possible that with this investment you can have a new career in addition to a career in which you worked today.

3. The people around you
Humans are social beings. Therefore, in reaching for something, people need other people, whether family, leaders in the office, colleagues, and so forth. Invest these people a way to give good treatments, so when you need them, they are happy to support you. Remember, people outside of yourself you can build once you drop.

CANCER TREATMENT: Radiation Therapy

2010-08-10T07:00:00.000-07:00

Therapeutic radiology uses high-energy particles or waves, such as X rays or gamma rays, to focus damaging radiation on the region of a tumor, inflicting genetic damage that kills cancerous cells. Radiation therapy damages rapidly dividing cells, mostly cancer cells but also healthy cells that reproduce quickly. This leads to side effects such as fatigue, skin changes, and loss of appetite.

Other side effects usually are related to the treatment of specific areas, such as hair loss following radiation treatment to the head. Radiation therapy can also cause a decrease in the number of white blood cells, cells that help protect the body against infection. Most side effects are short-lived, as healthy tissues recover from radiation much better than cancer cells because healthy cells repair damaged DNA more efficiently.

Many short doses of radiation therapy, instead of fewer heavier doses, can minimize side effects. The total dose and the number of treatments depend on the size, location, and type of cancer and the patient’s general health. Patients usually receive radiation therapy five days a week for five to eight weeks. Weekend rest breaks allow normal cells to recover.

Unlike surgery, radiation can destroy microscopic cancer cells that have moved into surrounding tissues. Radiation is also a safer option for older patients or those weakened from other diseases, who may not recover well from surgery. Oncologists may use radiation to shrink the tumor, making surgery feasible. For other tumors, radiation may be used following surgery. However, radiation does not always eliminate all tumor cells, and it cannot treat widespread metastases. Like surgery, radiation therapy may be used to relieve pain and discomfort, even when a cure is not likely.

CANCER TREATMENT: Surgery

2010-07-24T19:57:00.000-07:00

Oncologists select from a number of options when treating cancer, depending on the type and stage of the tumor involved. The major treatments currently available are surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and immunotherapy. Often, targeting cancerous tumors requires the artful combination of more than one type of cancer therapy.

Surgery is the most effective and fastest treatment for tumors that are caught early and have not metastasized. It is the only option ensuring that the entire visible tumor is eliminated. However, there is no guarantee that all microscopic extensions of a tumor have been removed. For this reason, surgeons may also remove a large portion of healthy tissue that surrounds the tumor. This may not be possible if the tumor lies near or within a vital tissue, such as a major nerve or organ.

Often, cancer surgery requires general anesthesia, in which the patient loses consciousness, and a hospital stay of several days. For example, women with breast cancer may have a lumpectomy or mastectomy, surgical removal of part (or all) of the breast. Depending on the stage of the tumor, doctors may also remove the nearby lymph nodes and muscle tissue. As with any major surgery, mastectomies and other major surgical cancer treatments involve some risk, and doctors must consider the overall health of the patient, as well as the stage of the tumor.

Some cancers can be treated surgically with less-invasive techniques, such as laser surgery. Laser surgery uses a powerful beam of high-energy light to vaporize certain tumors of the cervix, larynx, and skin. Physicians perform laser surgery with an endoscope inserted through a small incision in the skin. Laser surgery and other less-invasive surgical procedures may require only local anesthesia, in which a patient loses feeling in one particular area of the body but never loses consciousness.

Sometimes oncologists recommend surgery to improve a patient’s quality of life, even if it is not likely to rid the body of cancer. Surgery of this type aims to correct a problem that is causing discomfort or disability. For example, some cancers may spread to the spine, pressing on the spinal cord or nearby nerves. This pressure may cause severe pain, and in some instances, paralysis. Surgical removal of all or part of the tumor near the spine may alleviate these symptoms.

DIAGNOSA CANCER BY STAGING

2010-07-21T20:21:00.000-07:00

In previous writings I wrote an article Diagnosis of Cancer by Detection of Cancer, now I'll write a continuation of the article. When a tumor is detected, the physician takes a biopsy by removing a sample of the tissue. The biopsy sample is inspected under a microscope to determine if the tumor is benign or malignant. Cancerous cells usually appear abnormal in shape and no longer orient themselves in orderly configurations. If the tumor is cancerous, the physician assigns it a stage, indicating how far cancer has spread. The stage is a key factor in determining both the cancer’s treatment and prognosis.

Oncologists, physicians who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, use several different staging systems. In one system, tumors are grouped into four stages denoted by Roman numerals I through IV. Stage I cancers are small localized cancers that are usually curable. Stage II and III tumors are usually locally advanced and may or may not have invaded nearby lymph nodes, and stage IV tumors have usually metastasized—that is, spread to distant tissues in the body.

The most widely used staging system is the Tumor, Lymph Node, and Metastasis system, commonly abbreviated TNM. This system uses numbers between zero and three to assess the size of the tumor (T), the extent that it has spread to nearby lymph nodes (N), and the extent that it has spread throughout the body (M). A cancer’s stage depends on a combination of these numbers. For example, a T-1, N-0, and M-0 tumor is a stage 1 tumor. This tumor is 2 cm (1 in) or less (T-1) and has not spread to nearby lymph nodes (accounting for N-0) or metastasized (M-0). The five-year survival rate for a patient with this stage tumor is accordingly excellent. A T-3, N-1, and M-0 tumor is a stage 3 tumor.

This tumor is greater than 5 cm (2 in) and has spread to nearby lymph nodes, but there is no evidence that the cancer has spread to distant tissues. The five-year survival rate for a patient with this tumor is not as high as the T-1, N-0, M-0 patient. Stage 4 tumors are distinguished by an M-1 number. This means they have progressed to the point where metastasis is widespread, and the prognosis is usually quite poor.

DIAGNOSIS OF CANCER BY DETECTION OF CANCER

2010-07-12T20:55:00.000-07:00

Diagnosis of cancer often begins when a person notices an unusual health symptom and consults a doctor. Early warning signs of cancer include changes in bowel or bladder habits, a sore that does not heal, unusual bleeding or discharge, thickening or a lump in the breast or any other part of the body, indigestion or difficulty swallowing, change in appearance of a wart or mole, or a nagging cough or hoarseness.

People with early warning signs should consult their family doctor, who will evaluate symptoms and may refer the patient to a physician who specializes in cancer. A physician will first take the patient’s medical history to learn about current symptoms, past history of disease, and family members diagnosed with cancer. The procedures used in a physical exam depend on the patient’s clinical symptoms and may include a digital rectal examination, in which the physician uses a gloved finger to gently check the smoothness of the rectal lining. The physician may perform a breast exam on female patients, in which the breasts are gently probed to feel for lumps or unusual masses.

During the examination the physician may use a thin, lighted tube called an endoscope to look for tumors in internal body cavities. The endoscopy procedure used depends on the organ or body cavity examined. In gastric endoscopy, the doctor feeds a specialized endoscope down the throat to examine the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and first part of the small intestine. Fiberoptic sigmoidoscopy, in which a flexible instrument is inserted into the lower intestinal tract through the anus, enables a physician to visually examine the interior of the colon and rectum. Colonoscopy uses a much longer flexible instrument to view the entire length of the large intestine.

A number of laboratory tests help narrow the possible diagnoses. In a Pap smear, cells are removed from the cervical epithelium with a small plastic brush. These cells are examined under a microscope for cell changes that are a sign that cancer may be developing as well as signs of malignancy. If a patient’s clinical signs suggest colorectal cancer, the doctor may search for blood in the stool using a fecal occult blood test. A small sample of the patient’s stool is smeared on a card coated with a chemical called guaiac, which reacts with blood. The card is analyzed in a laboratory for occult (hidden) blood. Certain blood tests determine if levels of red and white blood cells are low, a possible indication of leukemia. Others test for the presence of tumor markers, chemicals that are present in higher levels when certain cancers are present. For example, a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test measures levels of prostate-specific antigen in the blood. Prostate cancer cells overproduce this protein, causing an elevation of PSA levels in blood.

Medical imaging techniques help doctors locate and evaluate a tumor. These include computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. CT and MRI scans use computers to form a three-dimensional image of the tumor and surrounding tissues. X-ray images of the breast called mammograms help physicians detect and evaluate breast cancer. Ultrasound scanning bounces high-frequency sound waves off a tumor and surrounding tissue to create an image of the tumor. The multimodality display technique combines the images from several imaging tools into one picture, providing a final three-dimensional image with much greater detail. Computer-aided diagnosis uses complex computer programming technology called artificial intelligence to scan mammograms and X rays to help look for signs of cancer and offer an automated second opinion.

CAUSES OF CANCER

2010-06-28T20:34:00.000-07:00

Cancer can develop in the human body, where this discussion has been detailed in previous posts. In this article will discuss about the things that cause cancer.

Scientists do not fully understand the causes of cancer, but studies show that some people are more likely to develop the disease than others. Scientists called epidemiologists study particular populations to identify why cancer rates vary. One method they use is to compare cancer patients with healthy people in terms of behavior such as diet, exercise, and smoking and traits such as gender, age, and race. Population studies provide useful information about risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing cancer.

1. Carcinogens

One of the greatest risk factors for cancer is prolonged or repeated exposure to carcinogens—chemical, biological, or physical agents that cause the cellular damage that leads to cancer. The details of how carcinogens cause cancer remain unclear. One theory is that exposure to carcinogens, when combined with the effects of aging, causes an increase in chemicals in the body called free radicals. An excessive number of free radicals causes damage by taking negatively charged particles called electrons from key cellular components of the body, such as DNA. This may make genes more vulnerable to the mutating effects of carcinogens.

2. Hereditary Factors

Evidence suggests that heredity plays a role in developing cancer. Some gene mutations associated with cancer are inherited. For example, inheriting mutated tumor suppressor genes BRCA1 or BRCA2 greatly increases a woman’s chances of developing breast cancer. About 50 to 60 percent of women with inherited BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations will develop breast cancer by the age of 70. Inherited mutations in the genes MSH2, MLH1, PMS1, and PMS2, all of which repair DNA, are especially prevalent in a rare form of hereditary colon cancer.

Scientists suspect that many other hereditary factors contribute to cancer. In addition to inherited mutations, other genetic variations, particularly those influencing how the body responds to carcinogens, may create a greater susceptibility to cancer. The identities of the majority of these genetic variations are not yet known.

3. Steroid Hormones

Medical research suggests that cancers of the reproductive organs may be affected by naturally occurring steroid hormones produced by the endocrine system. These hormones stimulate reproductive organ cells to divide and grow. In women, relatively high or long exposure to the female sex hormone estrogen seems to increase the risk of breast and uterine cancers.

Thus, early age at first menstruation, late age at menopause, having a first child after age 30, and never having children, all of which affect the duration of estrogen exposure in the body, increase the risk for these cancers. Studies also indicate that hormone replacement therapy (HRT), in which women take estrogen to offset the unpleasant effects of menopause, increases the risk of breast cancer. Male sex hormones, particularly testosterone, appear to play a role in cancers of the male reproductive organs, but this role is not yet well understood.

4. Population Demographics

Population studies show that a person’s age, race, and gender affect the probability that he or she will develop cancer. Most cancers occur in adults middle-aged or older. The risk of cancer increases as individuals age because genetic mutations accumulate slowly over many years, and the older a person is, the more likely that he or she will have accumulated the collection of mutations necessary to turn an otherwise healthy cell into a cancerous cell.

More than three-fourths of all cancers in North America are diagnosed in people over age 55. Statistics show that men are more likely to develop cancer than women. In the United States, nearly half of all men will develop cancer at some point in their lifetimes, whereas slightly more than one-third of women will.

Stomach cancer is nearly twice as common in men as in women, as are certain types of kidney cancer. However, the reasons for the discrepancy between the sexes are unknown. Some cancers are more prevalent in particular races than others. In the United States, for example, bladder cancer is twice as common in white people as in black people. White women are slightly more likely to develop breast cancer than are black women, but black women are more likely to die of the disease.

Asian, Hispanic, and Native American women have the lowest breast cancer risk. On the whole, African Americans, especially men, are more likely to develop cancer—and more likely to die from it—than members of any other group in the United States. Reasons for the discrepancies between races are still not entirely clear, but many epidemiologists trace them to differences in diet and exercise, unequal access to medical care, and exposure to carcinogens.

HOW CAN CANCER DEVELOP IN OUR BODY: CELLS BREAK FREE AND SPREAD

2010-06-25T23:08:00.000-07:00

More cancer, more cancer again, the reader may get bored with this article, but this information must I provide to be a lesson for us. Cancer can develop in the human body, therefore I think we need to know how the cancer can develop in the body. This article is a continuation of previous articles that discuss the same topic. Evading the many obstacles that guard against runaway cell division is still not enough for cancer to develop. A malfunctioning cell must also skirt a number of safety mechanisms designed to prevent cells from growing where they are not supposed to in the body.

Normal cells adhere to each other and to a fibrous meshwork called an extracellular matrix. This matrix exists throughout all tissues and provides the structural support on which cells grow and form organs and other complex tissues. While a normal cell will often die if it cannot adhere to an extracellular matrix, cancer cells survive without this matrix.

1. Tumor Forms

A tumor is a mass of cells not dependent upon an extracellular matrix. These cells can grow on top of each other, creating a mass of abnormal cells. Often a tumor develops its own network of tiny blood vessels to supply itself with nutrient-rich blood, a process called angiogenesis.

There are two general types of tumors. Benign tumors do not invade other tissues and are limited to one site, making surgical removal possible and the odds for a full recovery excellent. Some benign tumors are quite harmless and are not surgically removed unless they are unsightly or uncomfortable. For example, warts are benign tumors of the outer layer of the skin. Although they are usually not dangerous, warts may cause discomfort. Other benign tumors are thought to be precursors to cancerous, or malignant, tumors.

2. Tumors Spread

Tumors are malignant only if they can invade other parts of the body. Malignant tumors extend into neighboring tissue or travel to distant sites, forming secondary growths known as metastases. To metastasize, tumor cells break through a nearby blood vessel to enter the circulatory system or through a lymphatic vessel wall to enter the lymphatic system. Most metastases occur in organs that are the next site downstream in the circulatory system or the lymphatic system and contain a network of capillaries, or small blood vessels. For example, cancer of the large intestine often travels through the bloodstream to the liver, the organ immediately downstream from the intestines.
In the lymphatic system, tumor cells can spread to surrounding lymph nodes, or lymph glands. Normally, lymph nodes filter out and destroy infectious materials circulating in the lymphatic system.
The unique receptors on the surface of a cell may also play a role in where tumors metastasize. Specialized molecules on a cell’s surface identify where in the body the cell belongs. Similar cells adhere to one another when their surface receptors are compatible. Most often cells from different tissues and organs have incompatible surface receptors.

However, some tissue types share similar surface receptors, enabling cancerous cells to move between them and proliferate. Prostate cells and bone cells, for example, have similar surface receptors. This gives prostate cancer cells a natural affinity for bone tissue, where they can settle to form a new tumor.

Many cancers shed cells into the bloodstream early in their growth. Most of these cells die in the bloodstream, but some lodge against the surface of the blood vessel walls, eventually breaking through them and into adjacent tissue.

In some cases, these cells survive and grow into a tumor. Others may divide only a few times, forming a small nest of cells that remain dormant as a micrometastasis. They may remain dormant for many years, only to grow again for reasons not yet known.

HOW CAN CANCER DEVELOP IN OUR BODY: BODY SECURITY SYSTEM FAILED

2010-06-21T19:53:00.000-07:00

Some time ago I wrote an article about how cancer develops?now I'll write a continuation of the article, how the cancer can develop in our body. While each human cell performs its own specialized function, it also exerts influence on the cells around it. Cells communicate with one another via receptors, protein molecules on the cell surface. A cell releases chemical messages, which fit into the surface receptors of cells nearby, much as a key fits into a lock. A cell may instruct other cells in its neighborhood to divide, for example, by releasing a growth-promoting signal, or growth factor.

The growth factor binds to receptors on adjacent cells, activating a message within each individual cell. This message travels to the nucleus, where a cell’s genes are located.

1. Proto-Oncogenes Become Oncogenes

When the growth factor message reaches the cell nucleus, it activates genes called proto-oncogenes. These genes produce proteins that stimulate the cell to divide. In cancerous cells, mutations in proto-oncogenes cause these genes to malfunction.

When a proto-oncogene mutates, it becomes an oncogene—a gene that instructs the cell to grow nd divide repeatedly without stimulation from neighboring cells. Some oncogenes overproduce growth factors, causing the cell to divide too often.

Other oncogenes stimulate the cell to reproduce even when no growth factor is present. Cancer researchers have identified about 100 different types of proto-oncogenes and their cancer-causing oncogene counterparts.

2. Tumor Suppressor Genes Stop Working

When runaway cell division occurs, it does not necessarily lead to cancer. Neighboring cells respond by excreting a growth inhibitor. This chemical binds to receptors in the malfunctioning cell, sending a signal to the nucleus that activates tumor suppressor genes. Tumor suppressor genes are like brakes for cell growth.

When activated, these genes halt the cell cycle, preventing further cell division. But if tumor suppressor genes malfunction due to mutations, the rapidly dividing cell ignores messages from its neighbors telling it to stop dividing. Malfunctioning tumor suppressor genes are not enough to cause cancer—the cell still must overcome a host of other safety mechanisms before it can cause truly significant damage.

3. Cell Cycle Clock Malfunctions

The cell nucleus contains a collection of interacting proteins that control cell division. Sometimes called the cell cycle clock, this group of proteins interprets incoming messages at several checkpoints in the cell division cycle.
At these checkpoints, the clock evaluates the health of the cell. If conditions are right, the clock activates certain proto-oncogenes, which produce proteins that trigger the cell to enter the next stage of the cell cycle. If conditions are not right, certain tumor suppressor genes produce proteins that prevent the cell from proceeding with cell division.

HOW CANCER DEVELOPS

2010-06-19T20:07:00.000-07:00

Some time ago I wrote about what it was cancer, well now who will write about how the cancer could develop in the human body, so that we can take advantage to be able to avoid cancer.

A healthy human body is composed of 30 trillion cells, most of which are in constant turnover as cells die and others reproduce to replace them in an orderly fashion. Healthy cells of the skin, hair, lining of the stomach, and blood, for example, regularly reproduce by dividing to form two daughter cells.

This cell division cycle proceeds under the regulation of the body’s intricately tuned control system. Among other functions, this control system ensures that cells only divide when needed, so that organs and tissues maintain their correct shape and size. Should this system fail, a variety of backup safety mechanisms prevent the cell from dividing uncontrollably. In order for a cell to become cancerous, every one of these safety mechanisms must fail.

Cancer begins in genes, bits of biochemical instructions composed of individual segments of the long, coiled molecule deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Genes contain the instructions to make proteins, molecular laborers that serve as building blocks of cells, control chemical reactions, or transport materials to and from cells.

The proteins produced in a human cell determine the function of each cell, and ultimately, the function of the entire body. In a cancerous cell, permanent gene alterations, or mutations, cause the cell to malfunction. For a cell to become cancerous, usually three to seven different mutations must occur in a single cell. These genetic mutations may take many years to accumulate, but the convergence of mutations enables the cell to become cancerous.

Introduction

Cancer , any of more than 100 diseases characterized by excessive, uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells, which invade and destroy other tissues. Cancer develops in almost any organ or tissue of the body, but certain types of cancer are more life-threatening than others. In the United States and Canada cancer ranks as the second leading cause of death, exceeded only by heart disease.

For reasons not well understood, cancer rates vary by gender, race, and geographic region. For instance, more men than women develop cancer, and African Americans are more likely to develop cancer than people of any other racial group in North America. The frequency of certain cancers also varies globally. For example, breast cancer is more common in wealthy countries, and cervical cancer is more common in poor countries.
Although people of all ages develop cancer, most types of cancer are more common in people over the age of 50.
Cancer usually develops gradually over many years, the result of a complex mix of environmental, nutritional, behavioral, and hereditary factors. Scientists do not completely understand the causes of cancer, but they know that certain lifestyle choices can reduce the risk of developing many types of cancer. Not smoking, eating a healthy diet, and exercising moderately for at least 30 minutes each day can lower the likelihood of developing cancer.

Just 60 years ago a cancer diagnosis carried little hope for survival because doctors understood little about the disease and how to control it. Today about two-thirds of all Americans diagnosed with cancer live longer than five years. While it is difficult to claim that a cancer patient is disease free, long-term survival significantly improves if the patient has had no recurrence of the cancer for five years after the initial diagnosis. For years, death rates from cancer were rising in developing countries. In 2006 the American Cancer Society reported that the number of cancer deaths in the United States dropped for two years in a row. The decrease was attributed to a decline in smoking, earlier detection, and improved treatment.

Cancer Treatments And The Death Of Common Sense

2010-05-05T20:19:00.000-07:00

We have a bizarre system in place today that says when someone is diagnosed with cancer we must subject the body to mutilating surgery, burn the body with nuclear radiation or we poison the body with chemotherapy to try and remedy the problem. All of which have life threatening side effects.

When a person is first diagnosed with a serious health problem like cancer, they are already undergoing a major health crisis so does it make sense to harm the body further in an attempt to remove these unwanted growths.

All cancers are self caused and all cancers happen for a reason and that reason is because of the way we are now living. A cancer growth is only a sign that the cells of the body didn't stop dividing when they were supposed to and surgery, radiation and chemotherapy are not going to fix that. A wise patient will first apply some common sense to the problem, something that is seriously lacking in today's world of mainstream treatments for cancer.

What people don't realize is we already have a cure for cancer and that is to use our bodies built in repair system that can reverse any health problem we may encounter. It's called the immune system and common sense should tell you it needs to be nurtured, not destroyed. This system is your body's powerful self healing organism.

What do you think has repaired the cuts, bruises, broken bone, colds, influenza and other illnesses you have experienced throughout your life' It's not your doctor; it's your immune system so why wouldn't it be capable of removing your cancer as well. The human body can, with the right conditions heal itself accomplishing what no doctor, surgeon or any other health professional could ever hope to achieve. Care and not treatments is the key and that is to facilitate the God given healing capacity that all of us have.

Our bodies strive to heal themselves automatically every single day. What you need to do to assist it is to remove the barriers that are stopping it from healing. It is these barriers that have caused the problem in the first place and that is what is called applying common sense to the problem.

Unfortunately money as usual plays a big part in what is on offer as cancer treatments today. The powerful cancer industry has total control over the market place including any treatments that doctors are allowed to use. We of course have blind faith in our medical system and mistakenly believe they hold the answers to all our health problems.

To heal yourself of cancer forever you need to step outside this system of toxic treatments and assist the body in healing itself which it will do.

A true cure for cancer will only be achieved when a patient stimulates their own body's defense system and there are only natural ways to do that.

Avoiding Complications of Disease due to Diabetes

2010-04-03T21:29:00.000-07:00

After a month ago I wrote about tips on hair care in order to look more beautiful, so now I write about diabetes.

A disease that can carry other diseases if we are not vigilant. Diabetics can experience various complications, ranging cardiovascular diseases such as stroke or attackheart,
kidney failure, impotence, blindness, until the skin infection. World Health Organization (WHO) said cardiovascular disease is the most common complication and cause 50% to 80% of deaths in diabetics (diabetes).

Another common complication of diabetes is neuropathy. Mentioned study, approximately 50% are diabetics experiencing complications. Neuropathy causes loss of sensory capabilities and impotence. Tens of years with diabetes typically experience visual disturbances organs (retinopathy). Based on research, about 2% of diabetics experiencing blindness and 10% experienced severe visual disability in year 15. Similarly, kidney failure, diabetes is one of the main causes of kidney failure.

Other diseases that may arise as they often have diabetes, do not seek treatment and regular blood sugar checks. Excessive sugar levels cause blood sugar to thicken and leak. Also causes thickening of blood flow is reduced, particularly those headed to the skin and nerves. If blood flow was blocked, the supply of nutrients to the parts is also reduced, causing damage and lead to other diseases.

Regular blood sugar control is key to controlling this disease, at least once a month and that too depends on the condition of the patient, if the conditions are good could be more, but can also be done every day if necessary. Noteworthy is that the disease was brought to life, this disease can not be cured but can be controlled. And people with diabetes should be aware that normal sugar levels does not mean diabetes disappeared.

Diabetes is not a major killer diseases in the world, but this disease can be a costly disease because the risk of chronic, severe complications, and requires a lot of facilities to control.

Cochlear Implant Surgery

2010-03-13T04:43:00.000-08:00

HEARING is one of the important things in life.Living without a hearing would feel empty.
Loss of hearing (deaf) refers to the reduction or loss of one's sensitivity to sound.There are two types of deafness. Conductive deafness disorder that is found on the outer or middle ear,
generally treated medically. Sensorineural deafness is damage to the inner ear sensory cells
in or auditory nerve. Damage to the structure or sensory nerves resulted in permanent deafness.

The cochlear implant is a major breakthrough in the field of medicine. Research on cochlea implants have been done since the beginning of the year 1950 and approved by the FDA (Foot and Drug Administration) in the mid-1980s. The cochlea implant is a prosthetic device with internal components installed by surgery and external components that require customization and programming.

Cochlear implants deliver stimulation directly to the auditory nerve, through the sensory cells are lost or damaged by converting acoustic sound into an electrical pattern, which is then sent to the brain and interpreted as sound.

Cochlear implant intended for adults and children who do not get enough benefits from the means of hearing aids available. To determine whether a person can be a candidate cochlea, requires examination and tests by a specialist ear, nose, throat, head neck.

Cochlear implants, coupled with intensive postimplantation therapy, can help young children to acquire speech, language, and social skills. Most children who receive implants are between two and six years old. Early implantation provides exposure to sounds that can be helpful during the critical period when children learn speech and language skills

They make a cochlear implant surgery is easier to use for young patients and adults with a simple process at the implant by the surgeon and the professionals who have extensive experience in this kind of operation.

9th April 2009 election legitimate?

2009-04-20T05:10:00.000-07:00

Sejak punya blog beberapa waktu yang lalu, saya pengen nulis dalam bahasa Inggris, tapi takut di ketawain pembaca, maklum bahasa Inggrisnya pating pecotho tidak karuan. Tapi setelah tak pikir-pikir apa salahnya bila dicoba, kalau nanti salah mohon dikoreksi ya.........

9th April 2009 elections took place is very chaotic. Even confusion about voters remain on the election this time the clear constitutional right to seize millions of citizens. There are diverse opinions, which assume that the election commission has failed to conduct the election, many political party who claim the election results.
But when we review the election after reformation, no election without protes. Now we can not hope that the election will run without criticism, because the accusation against the election year 2009 has been suspected since the beginning.

Apart from the initial problem is, the historical election of this nation always indicate the occurrence of any claim the result. So how do you verify the election this time?
