Signs Healthy Man
Healthy Lifestyle November 23rd, 2009
If during the time we spent a lot of worry about illness and symptoms, perhaps now is the time we find out the signs of a healthy body, especially in men.
Nail color pink
Although only the tip of a finger, nail color can in fact be the best health indicators for easy viewing. In general, healthy people who have pink nail color (pink), strong, and gentle. Therefore, there’s nothing wrong alert when you see a change in nail color.
Yellowish nails and slow growth could be an indication of respiratory disease. Meanwhile, grooved nails have suspected the existence of diabetes. Lack of specific nutrients, such as iron, can also cause changes in nail color.
Pale yellow urine color
In general, the normal color of urine varies, depending on how much the amount of water we drink. If you drink enough, the color of urine is usually more clear. Conversely if we dehydration, the color of urine will become darker.
In addition to color, watch the striking change from the urine. For example, the stinging odor or color changes to red. Consult a physician if you suspect abnormalities.
Generates about one teaspoon of seminal fluid
A healthy adult male is able to produce semen of about 2-5 ml of semen during ejaculation. With increasing age, the production of cement is reduced. However, if the cement produced less than 2 ml, it can be a sign hyperspermia that can affect male fertility.
Besides volume, the color of semen is also a sign of health. A healthy male semen colored white or grayish and sticky. Seminal fluid or blood accompanied much liquid needs to watch out for and consulted the doctor.
Heart rate 70 bpm
Heart rate at rest (resting heart rate / RHR) is a good indicator of one’s fitness levels. Although RHR varies depending on age, but in healthy adult males, the normal rate of about 70-75 bpm (beats per minute). To measure it, put two fingers on the wrist veins. Then count while looking at the clock for 15 seconds. Multiply this number to get the value per minute.
Elastic skin
Skin elasticity is usually used as a reference for assessing one’s level of dehydration. A healthy skin is elastic and returned to normal when pinched. In contrast, the dehydration of the skin will return to normal position slowly when pinched.
Latest therapies Coronary Heart
Health News November 23rd, 2009
After the era of the use of a stent (a kind of metal frame) to create a clogged blood vessels open and drug-coated stents to prevent re-blockage, now comes the latest coronary artery therapy, ie drug-coated balloons (drug eluting balloon / DEB).
Drug eluting balloon is used in the same way as coronary catheter for dilation of narrowed blood vessels. The difference is this DEB antiproliferatif issued a drug called paclitaxel to be absorbed by the walls surrounding the blood vessels. The drug is also used for drug-coated stent (drug eluting stents / DES).
Coronary therapeutic progress was made by Prof. Dr. Dr. Teguh Santoso, SpPD, SpJP, interventions and cardiology experts in diseases of the RSCM and FKUI-Unverdorben Martin, MD, PhD, cardiologist and researcher and developer of therapeutic drug-coated balloon from Germany in the educational media Sequent Please, New Findings Salut medicine, in RS.Medistra, Jakarta, Thursday (19/11).
Installation of DES, or laymen call it a ring, is now a common procedure and proved effective for patients with coronary heart disease to widen the artery so that the path of blood flow back smoothly without surgery. However, this therapy has a risk of narrowing again. “The gaps between the stents can cause new or neointimal crust,” said Teguh.
With drug-coated balloon therapy, the risk of narrowing of the arteries due to reduced drug that permeates into the blood vessel wall. “Disposal of drugs does not require a stent, but it was easily absorbed by the body material,” said Martin.
In a study of 52 patients who tested either by using the DEB and the balloon is not covered in conventional medicine, is known in six months only 5 percent of DEB patients who require repeated intervention because of the constriction.
Another benefit of this drug-coated balloon was able to reach areas of narrowing and can not be accessed by the stent. “This new therapy can be used for cases of re-narrowing of arteries post stent or blood vessels are too small. And many of these cases the population in Asia,” said Teguh.
In addition, while the use of blood-thinning drug in patients with DEB are also more briefly, only 3 months, compared with DES, patients who have blood-thinning medication for 12 months. Actions and treatment costs were much lower than conventional therapy.
However, Teguh reminded that DEB is not the only therapy for coronary heart disease. “If the blood vessels narrowing again despite dibalon then forced to install a stent, but the stent was installed without the drug because the blood vessel walls are treated,” he explained.
Coronary heart disease characterized by obstruction (narrowing) coronary arteries by fatty deposits and thickening of vessel wall consisting of smooth muscle cells and extracellular matrix production is exaggerated. This causes the blood flow resistance. Patients generally feel shortness of breath and slightly depressed in the chest. According to the Teguh, most people with coronary heart disease aged less than 40 years were smokers.
Slim Instantly
Weight Loss November 23rd, 2009
Many doctors who warned that a healthy diet is a process that takes time. Therefore, weight loss should be done in stages. So, what’s wrong with the depreciation of the body weight quickly?
Weight loss usually need instant effort. If not dieting like hell, yes extreme sports.
“Usually this will not last long. And to lose weight we need to take a permanent change in diet habits and exercise,” explains Donald Hensrud, MD, a disease prevention specialist from the Mayo Clinic.
Changes are slow However the consistent, it would be easy to administer and could get rid of body fat and maintain ideal weight remains in the long run.
Weight loss doctor recommended maximum is around 1-1.5 pounds per week. Although there are diets that can lose weight quickly, about 5 kg for two weeks. But in the later transition period, a safe weight remains around 1-1.5 pounds per week.
Although looking very small, probably not even be seen significant differences in body shape, but the shrinkage is relatively easy to guard. Realistic targets are also generally easier to achieve so we are more excited.
To remember, one pounds (0.45 kg) of fat contains 3500 calories. So as to achieve the target weight loss of about one kilogram per week then you must burn approximately 500 calories per day.
“When you lose weight too quickly shrinking, maybe not wasted fat. It could be discarded is water, because in fact not easily burn fat in a short time,” said Hensrud.
However, in certain circumstances decrease rapid weight would be safe if done the right way. For example, if your doctor recommends weight loss patient fast for obesity. However, this type of diet requires strict supervision of a doctor.
Better not believe in the lure of instant slender often offered as a new weight can come down if we do calorie restriction and exercise. “Losing weight gradually, not only more realistic but also can be maintained for consistency,” said Hensrud.
Vaccines Industry “Booming”
Health News November 23rd, 2009
Malaria, tuberculosis, AIDS, pandemic flu, herpes, Alzheimer’s, allergies, until diarrhea. Call it the amount of disease that often affects humans, the pharmaceutical industry are now actively researching a variety of vaccines to prevent it. Most of these vaccines are expected to circulate in the market within the next 5 years.
The development of vaccine technology in the world is growing rapidly. This gives a glimmer of hope for tackling the disease and improve health. Vaccine research is apparently slow, but really did not sleep.
Big profit from each vaccine patent pharmaceutical industry interest, besides of course the price of the vaccine itself. Even now a large number of funds used for the purposes of research and development. The result was they managed to create many new discoveries and innovations.
“Even the little things being done today will certainly achieve great success within the next 10 years. The period could be described as the golden era,” says Emilio Emini, head of vaccine research division of Pfizer.
The vaccine is now seen as essential for the growth of the pharmaceutical industry, primarily to offset the slow growth of prescription sales. If prescription drugs are predicted to grow in three to five years, sales of the vaccine was estimated twice as high.
According to market research institute, Kalorama Information, from 19 billion U.S. dollars last year, sales of vaccines will increase to 39 billion dollars in the year 2013. “Interestingly, when 25 years are still struggling in the research, has now become a real money,” said Robin Robertson, director of U.S. Biomedical Advanced Research Development Authority.
Jump in profit is due to a little more extensive use of the vaccine along with mandatory immunization recommendations for infants issued by the government. We have too many vaccines are required for adults.
In contrast to conventional drugs used to cure the disease, the vaccine used to prevent infection by increasing the natural immune system to fight the entry of the disease. The vaccine is created from viruses, bacteria, which have killed or weakened so that they generally cause infection.
In the future, vaccines will not only be limited to the injection, but also in the form of a sticker attached to the skin, pills, or nasal spray. So far the British pharmaceutical company, GlaxoSmithKline is still the largest vaccine maker in the world, defeated Merck & Co..
Unfortunately, advances in biotechnology innovation is still dominated by developed countries. The defeat of the countries in Asia in the field to compete in this innovative advances made this country, as a marketing target of the vaccine, which of course sold at a high price.
