This happens because sleep does not quality. While sleep is a process that is required by humans.
Sleep is a process whereby cells forming a new body, the body's cells repair damaged (natural healling mechanism), giving time for the rest of the body organs and to maintain the balance of the body's metabolism and biochemical reactions. If we experience sleep disturbances, it will affect the quality of the performance of the body and will affect our health.

Most people who experience sleep disorders or sleeplessness will cause the following things:

-Has a swollen eye caused by lack of sleep.
-Often feel tired and depressed in the morning and evening.

-Fear of sleep due to worry restless sleep, frequent waking at night.
-Frequent use of cigarettes, alcohol, drugs to calm down before bed so that it can lead to addictive sedatives.

This can result in conditions of declining health of our bodies. Based on the studies listed in the journal "Occupational and Environmental Medicine in 1998" people who have trouble sleeping have an increased risk of heart disease more easily than those who sleep.

Therefore, we must maintain the quality of our sleep that our bodies stay healthy.
Quality sleep is a source of freshness, energy and vitality needed to optimize the productivity of the next day. Sleep quality is an absolute necessity that is as important as nutritious food and exercise. If every day you have insomnia, what you believe the next day you could be more fresh.

Reproductive tract infections

Reproductive tract infections (ISR) is entered and the proliferation of germs that cause infection into the reproductive tract. Germs that cause infection can be bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites.

Women more prone to ISR than men, because female reproductive tract closer to the anus and urethra. ISR in women is also often not known, because the symptoms are less obvious than men.

Due to the ISR

In the women can lead to pregnancy outside the womb, infertility, cervical cancer, increasing the risk of HIV, abnormalities in the fetus (LBW, congenital infection, stillbirth and infant birth not old enough)

1. Endogenous ISR ISR is the most common type in the world. Arise due to abnormal growth, which should grow to normal organisms in the vagina, including bacterial vaginosis and candidiasis are easily treated.

2. ISR iatrogenic or related to medical procedures is an infection caused by the entry of microorganisms into the reproductive tract through medical procedures that are less or non-sterile, such as induction of menstruation, abortion, IUD insertion, childbirth events or if infection is present in the lower reproductive channel spread through cervix to the upper reproductive tract. Symptoms that may arise, among others around the pelvic pain, high fever, sudden, chills, menstrual irregularities, abnormal vaginal discharge and pain occur during intercourse.

3. PMS is partially transmitted through sexual contact with an infected partner.

Prevention of ISR
Prevent new infections by cutting the transmission line
Endogenous ISR can be prevented through improved individual hygiene, improved access to quality health services, promotion, seek treatment to healthcare
Iatrogenic ISR can be prevented through sterilization of medical equipment used, screening or treatment of ISR prior to carrying out medical procedures.
STDs can be prevented by avoiding sexual contact or sexual intercourse with a safe (monogamy and condom use are correct and consistent

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are diseases that mode of transmission is primarily through sexual intercourse, either heterosexual or homosexual. PMS also be interpreted as a venereal disease that is transmitted through sexual relations that attacks around the genitals.

Relationship with the reproductive organs of PMS
destroy PMS in women vaginal walls / cervix, with or without symptoms of infection
in men, who are first infected urinary tract, and if not treated will cause discharge from the penis and cause pain when urinating waste
Untreated STDs can affect the reproductive organs and cause infertility in both men and women

Parts of the body can be affected PMS
In women, slauran ovaries, ovary, uterus, bladder, cervix, vagina, urinary tract (urethra), anus
In men, bladder, vas deferens, prostate, penis, epididymis, testis, urethra, scrotum, seminal vesicles, rectum

The main reason women are more vulnerable to contracting STDs than men

During intercourse, vaginal walls and cervix directly exposed to semen, sperm Jiak infected with an STD then the women will be infected. If a woman is infected with an STD, he does not always show symptoms, but most likely the infection spread and cause complications. Many people, especially women and adolescents who are reluctant to seek treatment, because they do not want a family / community to know if they suffer from PMS, as a result of new PMS is unknown at an advanced stage.

In most STDs there are several possibilities:
No disease transmission is always through sexual contact
The disease can occur in people who have never had sexual intercourse
Most sufferers are victims of circumstances beyond their capabilities

STD-causing organisms
Bacteria: gonorrhea, syphilis, etc.
Virus: genital herpes, condylomata akuminata, hepatitis, AIDS, etc.
Protozoa: trichomoniasis, etc.
Fungi: vaginal candidiasis etc.
Ectoparasites: pubic lice

Complaints / symptoms of PMS
There is fluid pus / abnormal vaginal discharge that comes out of the urinary tract (urethra) male / female vagina
In women there was an increase whiteness, color bus be more white, yellowish, greenish, and the bus orange unpleasant / slimy,
In men a burning sensation like burning or pain during / after BAK
Ulcers (ulcers) on the genitals is a complaint once common PMS symptoms
There are small bumps (papules) around the genitals
Redness around the genitals
Pain in the lower abdomen that appear and disappear and not associated with menstruation
There are spots of blood after intercourse

Danger of STDs
Morbidity and mortality
Infertility
Abortion
Cancer of the uterus
Damage the eyesight, brain and liver
Transmitted in infants
Vulnerable to HIV / AIDS
There is no cure

It is important to note
PMS may occur either in men or women
STD transmission can occur even if only once sexual intercourse without a condom with PMS sufferers
No one is immune to STDs
Women are more likely to catch an STD from their partner than vice versa, because of gender and extent of surface exposed by the partner's semen
Infections of the female reproductive organs are often hidden and not easily seen by poorly trained personnel. In addition, the complaint was not clear and the women often feel ashamed to tell you the problem and checked her genitals
ISR increases the risk of transmission of STD / HIV / AIDS on women 10x magnitude
Some STDs may not cause significant symptoms in women, but can still transmit the disease to their partners
The signs and symptoms of STDs in men is usually apparent as a wound or body duh, so that treatment can be done early
STDs are often not treated properly, resulting in infection and prolonged suffering. Most STDs can be cured if treated right and at the right time.
Complications of STDs such as infertility can often be prevented if treated immediately PMS
There are currently no vaccines or immunizations for STDs
PMS allows the possibility of contracting HIV / AIDS as much as 4x

Cancer or carcinoma

What is Ca Cervix (Cervical Carcinoma)?

Is a cancer that attacks the cervix (the cervix). Cancer or carcinoma itself is a medical term that is usually used to refer to a mass / tumor / lump that has a malignant nature. Mass / tumor cell growth is a disease in which the body shape, nature, and also different from normal cells kinematics other body. The growth of cancer cells are generally very wild, out of control normal cell growth.

What is the cause?

In general, the causes of cancer can be divided into 3 groups namely,

1. Kongenial or genetic abnormalities (due to damage to genes in the body)

2. Carcinogens (substances or materials that can cause cancer)

Carcinogens are divided into 2 types,

Chemical (natural carcinogens:

a. Organic: aflatoxin found in peanut seeds grown fungus aspergillus who can cause liver cancer, nitrosamines in food and beverage,

b. inorganic: abscess, cadmium, plumbum).

b. Man-made: industrial materials such as paints, petrochemicals, rubber, drugs such as arsenic, chlornaphazine.

In addition, acid cigarettes can also cause cancer because inside there are many carcinogens such as polycyclic aromatic amines and aromatichydrocarbon.
Hormones can also cause cancer in several organs that growth influences hormones such as breast, uterus (womb) and the prostate.


3. The Environment

- Occupation: radiology laboratory, as coal mines, petroleum
- Place of residence: the air which contains radium, arsenic, nickel
- Lifestyle: diet food, liquor, smoking, frequent exposure to sunlight, etc..

Causes of Cervical Ca allegedly associated with the HPV virus (human papilomma virus) mainly variants 16 and 18 and herpes simplex virus infections of variant 2.

Who is at risk?

There are several factors that can increase a woman has a risk (predesposisi) higher than other women for cervical cancer. As these factors namely,

a. The girl who did coitus / jima 'first (coitarche) when she was less than 17 years.

b. Women with a history of parity (childbirth) high / many (usually more than 5 times the birth) combined with long labor, which are too close (less than 2 years)

c. Women who frequently change sexual partners (promiscuity)

d. Sexual Hygine ugly (do not maintain the cleanliness of the genitals)

e. Women who experience viral infection Humman Papilloma Virus

f. Women who smoke.

How Occurrence of Cervical Ca?

In basic cancer occurs because of an abnormal growth of body cells. In the case of cervical ca, occurs because the cells making up the cervix (epithelial cells) that normally turn into abnormal shapes. Anatomically, the cervix is ​​divided into 2 parts namely eksoserviks / lower portion (the outside) and the endocervical canal to the cervix (inside). Each section was covered by the drafters of cells called epithelial cells. On the eksoserviks coated by flattened epithelial cells plated (squamous compleks), while in endocervical epithelial cells covered by cuboidal / cylindrical layer of ciliated short. In border areas there is both an area called the "squamo-columnar junction (SJC)". Well on the part of this transition, the epithelial cells that normally would have metaplasi (se becomes abnormal changes) This is because the cells that overlap each other and urgent, so the cells when tersensivitas could turn into abnormal cells. This is the basis of the occurrence of cervical ca.
Could Spread?

Cervical cancer can spread to various other body pepul. This occurs through the spread of limfogen (via lymph nodes). These cancer cells will go into the lymph nodes and then will participate this. deployment circulation of lymph to the area around the well can occur as the uterus (womb), pelvis (call) or vesica urinary (bladder). The spread of cancer to distant sites (in medical terms is called metastasis) can affect organs such as lungs, liver, kidney, bone and brain. From the spread of this stage of the cancer can be known whether early-stage (stage he, Ib, IIa) or advanced stage (IIb, III, and IV). The higher the stage, the smaller the recovery rate as well. Stage IV is also called as our terminal stage / end of which has spread to distant organs and the life expectancy of about <10%.


What signs and symptoms?

1. Contact bleeding ie bleeding after intercourse. This usually is a common sign that is often encountered. Bleeding that occurs due to the fragility of cervical tissue. When coitus, friction will generally occur on the walls of the cervix. Because of the rich network of blood vessels are very fragile, so easy bleeding occurs.

2. Whiteness is also a symptom that is often found. This whiteness over time will stink by because the infection process and necrosis (death) of the network due to cancer.

3. vagina great pain and surrounding areas or in the lower abdomen.

4. Anemia (due to severe vaginal)]

5. Symptoms caused by the presence of metastases / spread to other organs, for example,

- Lung: long cough, pleural effusion, pneumonitis

- Liver: jaundice (yellow color on the body), hepatomegaly (enlarged liver), acites (fluid in the abdominal cavity)

- The brain: coma, loss of vision.

- Bone: bone pain, bone

"STANDARD" Danger Signs and Symptoms of Cancer

Q: bleeding or unnaturally out mucus from the body in the form,

- Coughing up blood: ca lung

- Vomiting blood: ca stomach or liver

- CHAPTER Blood: ca rectum / anus or colon / bowel

- Vaginal bleeding: cervical ca)

A: The tool digestion is disturbed or there is difficulty swallowing more and more weight (ca eosofagus, thyroid)

Q: Tumors of the breast or elsewhere (testis, intestine, muscle, etc.)

O: constipation or change in bowel and bladder habits

K: sore or ulcer that will not heal (main symptom advanced stage of skin cancer) which is usually the sign of the most typical is Erus continuous bleeding from these ulcers.

A: Andeng-andeng (nevus) is changed, enlarged and more black (plus itching, ulcers, bleeding, hair loss all there be) This refers to the skin ca.

N: tone of voice so hoarse or a cough that never healed.


Ensuring that how Cervical Ca?

Diagnosis can be established with signs and symptoms complained of, yet a definite diagnosis of cervical ca enforced through cytology (cell examination) by means of a biopsy (taking part in the cervical tissue). From the biopsy will be seen clearly serve targeted cancer cells are.

How workarounds?

Handling cases of cancer are generally differentiated based on staged. At an early stage can still be done with surgery. After surgery continued with radiotherapy (radiation). In later stages, is generally not done surgery. But with chemotherapy (drugs) and radiotherapy. In stage IV (IVa and IVb) are generally given only treatment is palliative / tilt complaints is not to cure. This is because the spread of cancer cells that have a systemic / holistic. So radiotherapy treatment end of patients with this stage.

Prognosis how his recovery?

The prognosis (future picture / hope) recovery from cervical ca is determined also by various factors namely,

- Age of the patient

- The general state of the patient (including nutritional status)

- Degree of malignancy / stadium

- Histological hallmark of cancer cells

- The ability of experts in handling

- Treatment existing facilities.

In the cervical ca stage IV prognosis is generally et night or bad.

Is there any way Early Detection of Cervical Ca?

Early detection is the attempt to discover the existence of which was still curable cancer (early stage). Early detection of cervical ca be done by women with screenin examination test that is in a way that may already be quite familiar: PAP smear or with the most recent methods, namely the IFA method.
Who Should Perform Screening?

Screening tests should be performed by women who are sexually active also for women who have risk factors / predesposisi as listed above. Screening can be done in hospital by a doctor or a special content areas health facilities are available as laboratory screening service therein.

Better Prevent It?

Anyone would agree with the statement "to prevent the disease is better than cure". This is precisely what we do as a initial undertakings against cervical ca. How do I? For those of you who are married, clean the area and keep it in order to remain feminine hygine is important. Cleanliness of your partner's genitals should also be considered as well (the true king Rasululloh command, which in jima 'one by jima' other was mediated by wudlu_ and should clean up his cock anyway). Because it's possible the disease germs present in a less clean genitals. Remain faithful to your partner (not replacing-pair change!).

Say NO to Cancer!

Yuupp ... say no to cancer! How come? Certainly by keeping our life style. also 4 healthy 5 perfect food is much healthier and beneficial to our bodies, compared to junk food or instant food department in which there are many chemicals and preservatives. Avoid cigarette! Especially for those of you men (and possibly women) because really there are dozens of ingredients in cigarettes is harmful to our bodies! No free sex! That it must and should benar2 delete especially with multiple partners! You be faithful to your partner ... ..
Similarly, a brief description of cervical ca. Hopefully this bit of information can be useful and can add to our knowledge (especially women) on various matters related to health (especially reproductive health equipment).

Amenorrhea

Amenorrhea can result from abnormalities in the brain, pituitary gland, thyroid gland, adrenal glands, ovaries (ovarian) as well as other parts of the reproductive system.

Under normal circumstances, the hypothalamus (part of the brain located above the pituitary gland) sends a signal to the pituitary gland to release hormones that stimulate the release of an egg by the ovaries.
Disease In particular, the formation of abnormal pituitary hormones can lead to inhibition of release of eggs and the disruption of a series of hormonal processes involved in the occurrence of menstruation.

Causes of primary amenorrhea:
The delay in menarche (first menstruation)
Congenital abnormalities of the genital system (eg do not have a uterus or vagina, the presence of septum in the vagina, cervix is ​​the narrow, holes in the membrane covering the vagina is too narrow / imperforate hymen)
Drastic weight loss (due to poverty, excessive dieting, anorexia nervosa, bulimia, etc.)
Congenital abnormalities of the genital system
Chromosomal abnormalities (eg, Turner syndrome or Swyer syndrome) in which cells contain only one X chromosome)
Extreme Obesity
Hypoglycemia
Gonadal dysgenesis
Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism
Testicular feminization syndrome
True hermaphrodites
Chronic disease
Malnutrition
Cushing's disease
Cystic Fibrosis
Congenital heart disease (cyanotic)
Kraniofaringioma, ovarian tumors, adrenal tumors
Hypothyroidism
Syndrome Adrenogenital
Prader-Willi syndrome
Ovarian disease polikista
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Causes of secondary amenorrhea:
Gestation
Anxiety about pregnancy
Drastic weight loss
Excessive Exercise
Body fat of less than 15-17% extreme
Consuming extra hormones
Obesity
Emotional stress
Menopause
Endocrine disorders (eg Cushing's syndrome, which produce large amounts of the hormone cortisol by the adrenal glands)
Drugs (such as busulfan, chlorambucil, cyclophosphamide, birth control pills, fenotiazid)
Dilatation and curettage procedure
Abnormalities of the uterus, such as hydatidiform mole (placental tumor) and Asherman's syndrome (scarring of the lining of the uterus due to infection or surgery).

SYMPTOMS
Symptoms vary, depending on the cause.

If the cause is the failure of puberty, then it will not be found the signs of puberty such as breast enlargement, growth of pubic hair and underarm hair SERT changes in body shape.

If the cause is pregnancy, morning sickness will be found and an enlarged abdomen.
If the cause is high levels of thyroid hormone symptoms are rapid heartbeat, anxiety, skin warm and moist.

Cushing's syndrome causes a round face (moon face), distended belly and skinny arms and legs.

Other symptoms that may be found on amenorrhea:
Headache
Galactorrhea (milk formation in women who are not pregnant and not breastfeeding)
Visual impairment (on pituitary tumor)
Decrease or weight gain, which means
Vaginal dryness
Hirsutism (excessive hair growth, which follows the pattern of men), voice changes and changes in breast size

Diagnosis
Diagnosis based on symptoms, physical examination results and patient age.

Regular checks carried out are:
Endometrial biopsy
Progestin withdrawal
Prolactin levels
Levels of hormones (eg testosterone)
Thyroid function tests
Pregnancy tests
Levels of FSH (follicle stimulating hormone)
Karyotype to determine chromosomal abnormalities
CT scan of the head (if it is suspected pituitary tumor).

TREATMENT
Treatment depends on the cause.
If the cause is a drastic weight loss or obesity, patients are advised to undergo proper diet.
If the cause is excessive exercise, patients are recommended to reduce them.

If a girl has never experienced menstruation and all results are normal, then the examination every 3-6 months to monitor the progression of puberty.
To stimulate menstruation may be given progesterone.
To stimulate the pubertal changes in girls who have enlarged breasts or pubic and armpit hair has not grown, can be given estrogen.

If the cause is a tumor, then surgery to remove tumors proficiency level.

Pituitary tumors are located in the brain are usually treated with bromocriptine to prevent excessive release of prolactin by these tumors.
If you need to do removal of the tumor. Radiation therapy is usually only done if the administration of drugs or surgery does not work.

FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE DISORDERS

FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE DISORDERS

SOME KIND OF DISEASE IN WOMEN'S REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

Amenorrhea
Inimengacu disease to a condition where an individual fails to menstruate. There are two types of primary amenorrhea and secondary amenorrhea. Primary amenorrhea is a delay of abnormal menstrual cycles, and secondary amenorrhea occurs in women who have not reached the age of premenopausal.

Cervical Erosion

This disease is a condition in which ulcers form in the cervical region. It is characterized by red spots and bright pink, about the opening of the cervix. During early disease, mucus pieces discarded by the body. This is then followed up with varying degrees of improvement actions.

Cervicitis
Cervicitis is basically the inflammation of the uterine cervix. Many mucous glands are formed in this region, which keeps the vagina lubricated. However, this creates a conducive environment for the growth of microbes and other bacteria. Thus, infection of the vagina can be transmitted to the uterine cervix, which in turn causes inflammation of the cervix.

Oligomenorrhea
It is a condition characterized by a prolonged gap between the two periods. Usually a woman's period every 25-30 days, although in oligomenorrhea, women menstruate only for 4 to 9 times a year. This condition is caused by estrogen deficiency and can lead to infertility.

Puerperal fever

It is also known as childbed fever as it occurs within 10 days of delivery or miscarriage. Raw placenta become highly susceptible to injury and infection after separation. It is characterized by very high fever, and require medical attention.

Endometriosis
This occurs when the endometrium, which normally lines the uterus, grows elsewhere. Invasion of the most common are the fallopian tubes, the network layer of female pelvis and ovaries. The problem occurs because the blood is usually passed during the period of the trapped layer of refugees, and irritate the surrounding tissue.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) refers to the condition of the ovaries in women who develop this disease, the ovary enlarges and is covered by a number of small cysts. Types of this disease is a common hormonal disorder in women of reproductive age. It is characterized by an abnormal menstrual periods and excessive hair growth. If not diagnosed at an early stage can lead to long-term complications and risks.

Review of the disturbances in the male reproductive system, will be discussed in a later article. Hopefully this article useful and serve as a guide for women to remain vigilant over the cleanliness and personal hygiene, including vital organs.

Reproductive Health

Understanding Reproductive Health - In writing about the understanding of reproductive health will be presented regarding the definition of reproductive health of women and also explain women's reproductive health indicators. In addition this article also will discuss thoroughly about reproductive health in women, and underline the limits the scope of reproductive health.

From various articles that can be easily found on the internet, then get the understanding of reproductive health is a state of perfect health, both physically, mentally, and socially and not merely free from disease or disability in all aspects related to the reproductive system, function and processes.

In terms of reproductive health are found various things that are covered in it about things as the following:
The right person to be able to obtain a safe sex life and satisfying as well as having the capacity to reproduce;
The freedom to decide when or how much did it;
The right of men and women to obtain information and gain the accessibility of safe, effective, affordable both economically and culturally;
The right to obtain an adequate level of health services so that women have the opportunity to undergo the process of pregnancy is safe.
Can be broadly classified four groups of factors that can adversely affect reproductive health, namely:
Socio-economic and demographic (especially poverty, low education levels, and ignorance about sexual development and reproductive processes, as well as the remote location of residence).
Cultural and environmental factors (eg, traditional practices harmful to reproductive health, many children trust a lot of luck, information on reproductive functions that confuse children and teens because opposing one another, etc.).
Psychological factors (the impact on parent cracks in adolescents, depression due to hormonal imbalance, feeling worthless woman on the man who bought his freedom in the material, etc.).
Biological factors (birth defects, defects of the reproductive tract post a sexually transmitted disease, etc.).

colorectal cancer

Apples are the fruit of a very delicious and also have good nutrition for our bodies. The food we eat can lead to colorectal cancer to prevent cancer, we should eat apples. New research suggests that apples or apple juice have positive impacts on our intestines. The content of pectin and polyphenols are a lot of apples known to increase the biological mechanism to produce anticarcinogenic compounds (anti-cancer) in the fermentation process. Apples are also known as a rich source of fiber and high anti-oxidant.

In laboratory research conducted by researchers from Germany, Dr. Dieter Schrenk, known components in apples can boost the production of butyrate to inhibit the growth of HDAC. Decreased production of HDAC would suppress the growth of precancerous cells and tumor cells.

Colon cancer is very often encountered in Indonesia. This cancer often occurs in men but women are also much affected by this cancer. Cancer risk was increased in the consumption of high fat and low in fiber, body fat, smoking, and lack of exercise.
From now on fix your life. Eating an apple will not hurt even very useful for our body. Health is a very expensive price.

detect colon cancer

Colon cancer or colorectal cancer is the number two cause of death from cancer and 15% of new cases of cancer is colon cancer. Cases of colon cancer today and in coming years is expected to increase. Therefore, public awareness of the threat this disease have increased since colon cancer is strongly associated with such modern diet of fast food and unhealthy lifestyles.

Cancer caused by exposure to carcinogenic substances that occur due to various habits or disturbance in the metabolism of the body as found in obesity and lack of exercise. Carcinogenic materials that are caused by smoking, eating foods high in fat, especially animal, fast food, lack of rest and lack of exercise. You should know that colon cancer is the most affected by carcinogenic substances.

The exact cause of colon cancer are not known with certainty, but the food is an important factor in the occurrence of cancer. Risk factor for colon cancer is a high-fat foods, less mobile, age / aging, history of colon polyps, family history, obesity, and smoking.

Some of the signs and symptoms you should be aware of the existence of colon cancer is the presence of blood in the stools, change in bowel habit, lower abdominal pain that is not lost, the long form of dirt and thin like a pencil, stool test is abnormal, anemia, and weight dropped drastically.

To detect colon cancer early, the patient should perform regular checks, especially in those at high risk and have a history of gastrointestinal disorders. Examination should have been started at the age of 30 years in Indonesia because of colon cancer more common in younger age under 40 years.

The approach to colon cancer involves three steps namely primary prevention, lived a life that is in the form of avoidance of anticancer carcinogenic substances. Also done so that screening and early detection of cancer, when it is formed, can be found as early as possible so that therapy can be done appropriately and greater life expectancy. Secondary prevention, ie after cancer treatment, taken steps to prevent the occurrence of cancer recurrence (relapse).

Applying a healthy lifestyle is useful to prevent the occurrence of colon cancer early detection while necessary for appropriate therapy to patients can be done as soon as possible.
Healing herbs

XAMthoneplus magical product is so-called multi amazing juice because it proved efficacy, can be made in alternative treatment of diseases difficult to be cured through chemical drugs. One of the diseases can be cured with xamthone plus is bowel cancer, this corresponds to "a study done in Japan that uses the compound in six xanthones, namely @-mangosten,? - Mangostin,?-Mangostin, mangostinone, Garcinone E, and 6 (2-isoprenyl 1.7, dihydroxy-3-methoxy) xanthone, concluded that these compounds could inhibit the growth of human leukemia cells or HL60 (model systems of cancer cells in blood).

Colon cleansing diet facilitate

Colon cleansing diet facilitate the destruction of toxins from the body. Besides this diet also restore the intestinal form, and

provide healing for the body. It's important to remember that diet and health go hand in hand. With such a famous quote "You are what you eat", the function of the body it should be, regulated by the food you consume, and this also affects the immune system.

Colon cleansing diet is emphasized to remove toxic substances that clog the intestines. With the number of instant food on the market, people must have been very rarely busy preparing healthy meals at home. Unhealthy foods can be in the form of junk food or junk food and processed foods. With colon cleansing diet, you help prevent the emergence of these health problems. Foods rich in fiber is the first food groups recommended in this type of diet. Fiber is an essential part of the colon cleansing diet. This type of food is known to help clear the bowel. Foods rich in fiber can be obtained from various kinds of vegetables, fruits, biiji grains, beans, grains full lining, and nuts. Fiber holds two functions: to eradicate toxic materials from the gut and generate peristaltic movements are known to tighten the stomach muscles.

In the colon cleansing diet included green foods in the diet because foods rich in chlorophyll in green like barley grass, wheat grass and others that are very essential in the diet structure. Chlorophyll in leafy vegetables help the healing of damaged tissue in the digestive tract caused by the expenditure function is not normal.

There are also groups of food in the colon cleansing diet that will improve intestinal structure and responsibilities. Neutralize intestinal toxins and move molecules and other useless substances from the body. Intestine also help the distribution of essential vitamins and antioxidants from food is absorbed. Colon cleansing diet not only accelerates the healing process but also has many benefits it offers.

Sources of Folic Acid

Sources of Folic Acid

It's been better known as folic acid supplementation in addition to or milk. But the fact itself naturally folic acid contained in our daily diet, such as green vegetables, liver, meat, nuts, seeds, and sebagainya.Dan, according to Indonesian food nutrition tables, high folic acid content contained in chicken liver, seaweed , red beans, and soybeans.

How much should be consumed? According to medical journals, pregnant women should consume at least 300 m of folic acid per day. It is also a way to reduce the risk of neural tube defects NTDs (neural tube defects) up to 70 percent of births. Abnormalities at birth including developmental imperfection of the brain (anencephaly) and spine (spina bifida).

To meet this number, not necessarily with supplementation (tablets). But from the daily diet can also meet the needs of folic acid, only a side dish or replace some food choices rich in folic acid. For example, choose a side dish high in folate such as liver or red meat. Or, if previously used to eating tempeh / know, can now also add pureed green beans snack or soy milk and vegetables.

Consumption Combination

Well, because vitamin B include water-soluble vitamins, processed foods containing folic acid should also pay attention to the many sauces that are used. Do not make a vegetable or food with a sauce that is too much. If sauce is too much, folatnya acid will be wasted. If necessary, simply saute it with very little sauce, so water and food consumed all.

And, preferably, also the consumption of liquid, because it would be much folic acid content in the sauce.

Maximize your intake of folic acid can also be done by combining the consumption of foods with folic acid other sources. For example, eating green vegetables with nuts snack, side dish of chicken livers with green vegetables, combining a variety of foods made from beans, and so on.

When natural foods are consumed by the dose and the right food processing, need not have added folic acid by eating folic acid-fortified milk.

Given the importance of the function of folic acid in the first trimester of pregnancy, women should meet the needs of folatnya acid every day even if not planning to conceive. Similarly, after pregnancy and breastfeeding.

"Actually, since folic acid is needed to get pregnant breast-feeding. Because since the process was the basis of the establishment of the first trimester of fetal cells and did not stop until the breastfeeding period, so it can be said to be pregnant, breastfeeding is one package, "said Pritasari.

Especially for pregnant women who in some cases prone to anemia, folic acid food sources such as chicken livers that contain protein and iron (Fe), also can prevent anemia.

Fetal development process in the stomach








Fetal development process in the stomach

During our week of gestation after 8 days after fertilization occurs, blastocyst (now containing 200 cells) secrete mucus to notify its presence in the womb.

cancer womb (cervix)


Mouth cancer womb (cervix) into health problem in developing countries. In Indonesia, patients with this disease is estimated 90-100 of 100 000 inhabitants.
In developed countries like America, there are 12,000 new cases were found in 1990. See high rates of patients, it is not surprising when the disease is a frightening specter for women. It was also because cervical cancer is highest in women and the first rank of the ten types of cancer in Indonesia. Figures patients with this disease, its true, can be pressed when the early discovery of cancer that attacks the mouth of the womb. The problem, according to dr Nasdaldy, SpOG, more than 70 per cent of people arriving late to the doctor treat. In fact, delay the inspection can be influential in life expectancy, as well as greater cost required. ''Prevention is cheaper,''he said in a seminar in Jakarta recently. Medical specialty of obstetrics and content Ginekologik Division of Cancer Dharmais Cancer Hospital Jakarta, is recognized when pre-cancerous cervix, in general, there were no symptoms. Symptoms that can be detected when there is bleeding after coitus and vaginal discharge which is not unique. When there is excessive vaginal discharge, foul smelling, and will not heal, we suggest that self-advised to consult a doctor immediately berobat. Because, this is a symptom commonly encountered in patients with cervical cancer. Examination of a doctor is needed, because not all white sign is cancer. With the examination will be known if an abnormal vaginal discharge is cancer or not. Other symptoms, he said, there is bleeding outside the menstrual cycle, especially when relating intimately. Just like the white, this phenomenon also requires examination of the doctor, because bleeding can occur due to hormonal balance disorders. Why are inspections needed when found to have symptoms? That's because the cancer is already at its stadium three of the swelling will occur in various parts of the body, such as the thighs, calves, or in his hand. The result could be more fatal, the delay in handling can cause death. For early detection, to do pap smears in women who were sexually active at least once a year by taking the rubber cervix from the vagina. Gynecological examination done by your doctor or midwife by taking samples to doctors lear cervical anatomical pathologists. We recommend that pap smear done on day 10-20 of the menstrual cycle. However, in the 24 hours before the examination, not having a husband and wife. What are the risk factors mouth uterine cancer risk? According to dr Nasdaldy, women who are married or initiate sexual activity at a young age (less than 18 years) have a risk of mouth cancer of the womb. The same risk can be experienced by women who take turns sexual partners. That is, women who have many sexual partners or husbands have many sexual partners. They are more susceptible to uterine cancer are women who often suffer from sexually transmitted infections in the area, which many have children, and women smokers. ''Women smokers have a risk two times greater than in female non-smoker,''he said. Prevention Prevention is far better than the cure. That's true, even though it is easy to apply. The problem is, there are many women who refuse to berobat yourself to your obstetrician has a variety of symptoms despite oral contact with uterine cancer. In fact, women already have symptoms affected servick, healthy women who already have berobat themselves to be detected since the spring. Prevention, according to Nasdaldy, can be done by three strategies: primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primary prevention is needed in all populations with a risk of mouth cancer of the womb. How, by providing counseling. ''Not only medical, but can in schools because there are many who do not know and do not care,''tuturnya. Secondary prevention is also needed on people who do not have symptoms. This is so that the incident numbers can be pressed and allow treatment as early as possible. Early treatment, as well as their costs a bit, the result even better. Whereas tertiary prevention that has been done on the disease ini.Ada a few things to be done for primary prevention in patients with cervix. But the important thing is lowering risk factors. For example, removing the cause of sexual behavior displayed by human papilloma virus infection (HPV). ''Girls are more vulnerable to HPV infection,''he said. Equally important to the nutritional factors. According to a medical specialist is the person with a good diet is easier to prevent this disease. It should be noted, no taboo food for cancer patients. Because the statement was not true to say that cancer patients should not eat meat. ''That's the myth,''he said. Nutrients, he said, is necessary for the prevention of this disease. Good food to eat is caretenoids, vitamin A, retinoids, vitamin C, vitamin E, and folate. Green and yellow vegetables are good for improving nutrition. Besides lowering the risk factors and nutrition, primary prevention should also be a vaccination. Immunization, said Nasdaldy, made active at a young age before a sexual relationship and are still in development. Preventive vaccine aimed at forming antibodies and given to healthy people. Vaccine treatment was given to people infected with HVP and immune system stimulation. World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the vaccine should be given the first time in five years in relation to sexually active after age 25 years or until age 65. The frequency of vaccinations, suggested the world body, done 2-3 years with a record of two consecutive negative.

Alzheimer's Disease


Alzheimer's Disease is a form of senile diseases (dementia) most commonly experienced by people aged 65 years and above. This is not part of the normal aging process, but the disease that causes progressive loss of brain nerve cells. Since nerve cells are important for normal thinking, memory and brain function, those suffering from Alzheimer's disease impaired brain function that interfere with their normal daily activities.

Gradually, Alzheimer's patients lose their ability to perform basic daily activities such as brushing teeth, dressing, bathing and other. In the end, their ability to walk and talk can also be affected or lost altogether.

Disease known as 'The Long Goodbye', the disease usually cover a period of more than 10 to 20 years. Despite intensive research conducted in recent years, Alzheimer's disease is not fully understood and there is no known cure, thus early detection and treatment is the only option to manage the disease effectively.

Memory affects

Matter of much concern is that compliance with medication for memory loss of Alzheimer's disease a person. Patients may forget to take medications or forget that they were taking doses.

Feedback from caregivers indicate that often times, patients are reluctant to take medication as I feel they do not suffer from any disease.

Alzheimer's Dementia is a common disease for the elderly. Asia-Pacific According to statistics, people with this disease has reached 18 million people. More than 60,000 people in Malaysia is suffering from Alzheimer's. Expected by 2020, this figure will double to 120,000 people.

To sacrifice time and energy to take care of the elderly suffering from Alzheimer's disease or senile not an easy task. Alzheimer's is a health problem that requires attention from the patient's family.

The risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, which is synonymous with this elderly, increase with increasing age.

Risks and Symptoms

Once people reach 20 years, the death of cells in the brain began to occur and cause the brain to shrink. Destruction of brain cells continuously causing reduced quality of memory.

Individuals who are at risk for this disease is a person who is suffering from hypertension when he reaches the age of 40 years and above, people with diabetes, lack of exercise, high cholesterol and hereditary factors that have family members suffering from this disease at the age range of the 50's.

The earliest symptoms of dementia is to be forgetful, especially about important things done each day. They need to be taken to a doctor for a check to confirm it.

Dementia refers to a group of symptoms associated with memory loss, occurs slowly without being noticed, but eventually could worsen.

As a result, difficult to remember a person and affect his ability to think clearly as to interfere with normal activities and routines such as eating and hygiene management.

In addition to deterioration of thinking, the patient had experienced changes in personality and behavior and their feelings.

Among other symptoms of dementia is often forgotten things done, quickly tired, it is difficult to distinguish time, place and people, lost their logic, forgetful, not be able perform daily activities and prepare yourself, not concentrating, difficulty remembering words when speaking and difficult naming objects.

In addition, Alzheimer's patients are often depressed, nonsense, impatient, hard to distinguish the times and the worst is that they fail to control when small or large bowel, they can not think, speak and move but there are also people with Alzheimer's lose timidity and talk about it that could embarrass your family or naked in public places.

Early Diagnosis

If the patient is receiving treatment at an early stage, it is thus able to reduce the problem of family burden of care.

Detect early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease is an advantage. The doctor can provide guidance on the early signs of dementia. If patients really diagnosed with Alzheimer's, patients' families have more time to make plans for the future. Treatment can be done earlier and more effective.

When the diagnosis is carried out, doctors need patient information from family and friends, physical examination and neurological and laboratory tests. In addition, the doctor will do tests neuropsikologikal while doing a scan images using CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). He said the PET scan is a major step for more information.

History

Recounting the history of Alzheimer's disease, was discovered by Dr. Alois Alzheimer in 1907, called Alzheimer's, in conjunction with his name. Dementia can be divided into two, the first reversible dementia (reversable) which can be controlled and the two did not turn the remains. As a result of post-mortem of a woman, Dr. Alzheimer's found the woman's brain is not only shrinking but, filled with extraordinary mass of protein called amyloid plaques and intertwining fibers (neuro-fibrillary).

Guidelines for The Guardian

Here is a guide for families who want to deal with their family members suffering from Alzheimer's disease:

* Always jokes with them as a senile old folks tend to keep their social skills.

* As a young person, create a positive mood when talking to them. Do interact with them with a gentle and polite language as a mark of respect.

* Remember the wonderful times they lived together for most of the senile patients do not remember what had occurred within 45 minutes.

* When talking to them, create a tranquil atmosphere. Avoid noise, such as mobile phones and radio. Introduce yourself and explain your relationship with him as he touched hands and shoulders.

* Talk to them using language and simple sentences. We need to understand that this group was rather touchy. So, you do not need to raise their voices. Language is enough to clear the low tone.

* Dementia Patients often forget, so you need patience to wait for their reply every time.

* Create a happy atmosphere to chat while talking things funny. If they are in a sad mood, try to change the environment and story topics.

Three types of standard cancer


The term cancer-trigger horror in the minds of anyone. But despite countless diseases that can grasp life, aka lymphoma cancer lymph nodes can be cured. The treatment can be through therapy, monoclonal antibody therapy, radiation, biologic therapy, and bone marrow graft. By doing intensive therapy, there are opportunities for cancer patients are cured completely. However, this possibility depends on a number of factors. The factors that influence the stadium, the size of the swollen glands, and the degree of violence. Degrees of violence lymphoma divided into two. Aggressive lymphomas belonging to quickly grow and spread. If left alone can be deadly in 6 months. Hope life figures ranging up to 5 years, with a 30-40 percent chance to heal. Therapy, chemotherapy doses used are high, it could also be marrow graft. The results showed an increase of life expectancy. A former lymphoma patient, Ibrahim Zakir doing intensive chemotherapy treatment. As a result, he recovered completely. "I had to stadium III, and having chemotherapy every 21 days. After 8 times kemo, finally recovered," said Ibrahim.

Lymphoma is a cancer that grows as a result of mutations lymphocyte cells (a type of white blood cells) previously normal, like normal lymphocytes, malignant lymphocytes can grow in various organs in the body including lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow, blood or other organs.
There are two types of cancer, namely limfotik system, and Hodgkin's disease non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Lymph node cancer or lymphoma is a group of diseases RELATED violence and the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is an important part of the immune system that make up the body's natural defense against infection and cancer.
The lymphatic fluid is a white liquid like milk fat and protein containing all of lymphocyte flow throughout the body through the lymphatic vessels. There are two types of lymphocyte cells, namely B cells and T B-cell function to help protect the body against bacteria by making antibodies that destroy bacteria. Symptoms of cancer and diseases include swollen lymph nodes in the neck, armpit or groin.
Swelling of the gland had to begin with symptoms of weight loss for free, continuous fatigue, cough and shortness of breath, hives, fever and sweating for no reason at night.
Often patients do not show typical symptoms have only a sort of lump or swelling of lymph nodes in the neck. Because there are no special concerns many new patients in advanced stage when treatment until the cancer cells have spread and taken to secret operations.
WHO estimates around 1.5 million people worldwide currently living with NHL and 300 thousand people died because of this disease every year. Approximately 55 percent of the NHL and rapidly growing aggressive type.
NHL is the third fastest growing cancer after skin cancer and lung. Figures NHL incidence increased 80 percent compared to the 1970's. Each year the number increased incidence of this disease 3-7 message. NHL is quite common in adults with the highest figures in the 45-60 year age range.
The more old age the higher the risk of developing lymphoma because of the resilience of the body decreases. To date the cause of lymphoma is not known reliably. There are four possible causes, namely genetic factors, immune system abnormalities, viral or bacterial infections and toxins in the environment (herbicides, preservatives, chemical dyes). Multifaktor cause.
There are more than 30 subtipe NHL (90 percent of type B cells) can be classified with the consideration of several factors, appearance under the microscope, the size, speed and organs to be grown.
Indolent lymphoma (low level) grew slowly until the early diagnosis more difficult. Patients can survive for many years but no treatments to cure. Patients usually respond well to initial therapy, but it is possible relapse again. Patients with indolent lymphoma can receive therapy to six times during life, but the longer the response decreased.

Aggressive lymphoma (high terrorism degrees) quickly grow and spread. If left without medication can be deadly in six months. Figures the average life expectancy of five years, and 30-40 percent healed. Patients who are diagnosed early are more likely to get treated at all perfect and rare risk of relapse, because of a protective healing, usually treated more aggressively. Prof. Caramel L * Hematology-Oncology Tambunan members.

Three types of standard cancer treatments used (source U.S. National cancer Institute)

Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cancer cells or by stopping the process of cancer cells. chemotherapy per oral and injection into blood vessels or muscles would go into the bloodstream and can reach cancer cells throughout the body (systemic chemotherapy).
included chemotherapy directly into the spine, organs, or body cavity such as the stomach, which affect cancer cells in the regional district referred to regional chemotherapy. Combination chemotherapy is treatment using more than one anticancer drug. How chemotherapy is given depends on the type of cancer being treated and the stadium.

Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy is a cancer treatment that uses high energy x-ray or types of radiation to kill cancer cells or prevent them developing.
There are two types of radiation therapy.
External radiation uses a machine outside the body to send radiation to the cancer.
Internal radiation therapy uses a radioactive substance sealed in needles, seeds, wires, or catheters that are placed directly into or near the cancer. The way the radiation therapy is given depends on the type of cancer being treated and the stadium.

Target cell therapy
Target cell therapy is a treatment that uses drugs or other substances to identify and attack specific cancer cells without damaging normal cells. One type of targeted therapy used in the treatment of Hodgkin's disease in children is a monoclonal antibody therapy. Monoclonal antibody therapy is a cancer treatment that uses antibodies made in the laboratory from one type of immune system cell. These antibodies can identify substances on cancer cells or normal substances that may help cancer cells grow. Antibodies attached to the substances and kill the cancer cells, inhibiting their growth, or prevent their spread. Monoclonal antibodies are given by infusion.
Other therapies are being tested is to try to stem cells (blood cells imatur) removed from the patient's blood or bone marrow and then frozen and stored. After chemotherapy is completed, the holding cells kept diluted and given back to patients by infusion. This Reinfused grow into stem cells (and restore) the body's blood cells.

Surgery can be done to remove as many tumors.

Liver Damage

All these functions will be interrupted in the event of damage to the liver. Liver damage may cause sudden liver failure function (acute) and can cause coma patients due to accumulation of toxins in the body.

Although acute liver failure is rare, the number of deaths among patients who experienced a very high and can occur within a few weeks.

Patients may also experience severe bleeding due to liver failure result in blood clotting factors.

Symptoms of Liver Damage

Among the symptoms of liver problems are loss of appetite, vomiting, fever and body becomes itchy in many places. Patients may also show symptoms of yellow eyes and urine golden yellow like tea 'O' sauce.

Patients may also be noticed that the stools are less concentrated because the liver can not produce bile (which gives the stools). Patients may also experience symptoms of jaundice, nausea, pain in the liver and liver swelling.

The main cause inflammation of the liver in Malaysia is caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi or parasites. The virus is a major cause of hepatitis in this country, with the Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is spread through most of the food and drink found.

In addition to HAV, hepatitis type B virus (HBV) and C (HCV) is common in Malaysia than type D, E, F and G are rarely found in Malaysia. Hepatitis E virus (HEV) has characteristics similar to HAV, such as spread through water or food handling.

HEV, however, frequently found in India and Bangladesh, and can be brought into this country by immigrants from these countries.

Antidote Heart

The ability to regenerate the liver, and faster than other organs which enable it to replace damaged heart tissue. However, this does not mean that patients do not need to 'keep faith' because they think the heart can repair itself.

All hepatitis patients need to control diet, nutrient intake, and also avoid taking drugs, but necessary. Patients need to reduce fat things, plenty of carbohydrate intake, and keep taking medication, including paracetamol.

They also need to ensure adequate intake of protein and water to help the restoration of the liver and taking certain vitamin supplements such as vitamin K for bleeding problems.

HAV infection is the most widely occurring due to hepatitis virus infection, most patients will heal themselves and do not need hospitalization. HAV patients estimated to be fully recovered after about 45 days, and the virus will also be removed completely from the patient.

HBV and HCV infection, however, may need medical treatment such as interferon, drugs to reduce the replication of viruses and drugs to encourage the production of antibodies. Nearly 10% of patients with HBV and HCV up to 50% of patients may be suffering from cirrhosis and liver cancer. In terms of the effectiveness of drugs used, the more difficult to treat HCV infection because of the effectiveness of the treatment only 40% compared to 60% for HBV.

Liver Transplant

Special ability to facilitate the liver to regenerate the liver donation as only a small part of the organs needed for transplant to patients in need. Liver tissue can grow back a full liver even if only a 25% healthy liver tissue.

However, liver transplant is usually performed in cases of hepatitis not caused by viral or bacterial infection. Patients with liver damage due to infection risk of new heart also transferred infection.

If there is no virus or bacteria causes hepatitis in a patient, the doctor may consider doing a liver transplant. Liver transplantation for hepatitis caused by chemicals or toxins more easily done.

However, any toxins must be removed first, and patients with addiction (drugs or alcohol) should be restored before the liver transplant carried out.

This will avoid wastage of donated liver because it also be damaged if the toxins, drugs or alcohol continue to be patient. Among individuals who would greatly benefit the liver transplant is an autoimmune hepatitis patients.

Let us not ignore the health of any organ at all, including the liver, because it can heal itself and does not cause death immediately. Imagine the heart as the brain and spine that allows us to move the body and carry out daily activities.

Without faith, we are not just going to die, but will lose control of the body's principal chemical functions are not much different than slowly become paralyzed. Love yourself, love hearts.

Cranial nerves

Cranial nerves are nerves that directly out of the brain, others with spinal nerves that exit the spinal cord segments. In humans, there are twelve pairs of cranial nerves. Only the first and second pairs of nerves exit the large brain (cerebrum), the remaining 10 pairs of cranial nerves exit the brain stem.

Cranial nerve I - olfactory nerve
Is a sensory nerve, derived from telensefalon with the nucleus in the anterior olfactory nucleus. Its function is to receive excitatory odor; located in olfaktorii foramina in the ethmoid bone kribriform plates.

Cranial nerves II - optic nerve

Sensory nerves originating from the nucleus diensefalon on retinal ganglion cells. Functions to deliver visual information to the brain; located on the optical channel.

Cranial nerve III - The nerve Okulomotorius
Primarily motor, derived from the midbrain to the nucleus in okulomotorius nucleus, nucleus of Edinger-Westpal. Its function is to supply the levator muscle palpebra superior, superior rectus, medial rectus, inferior rectus, and inferior oblique, which generally supplies the eyeball movements; also supplies the muscles spincter pupil, and the muscles of the body siliar. Located in superior orbital fissure.

Cranial nerve IV - The nerve trokhlearis
Primarily motor, derived from the midbrain. Trochlear nerve supplies the superior oblique muscle, which moves the eyeball downward, or sideways spins (on the optical axis), and intorts eyeball; Located in superior orbital fissure.

V cranial nerve - the trigeminal nerve
Is a sensory and motor nerves. Derived from the Pons. Trigeminal sensory nuclei in the nucleus, spinal trigeminal nucleus, mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus, motor trigeminal nucleus. Its function is to receive stimuli from the face and the muscles of mastication; located in the superior orbital fissure (nerve oftalmikus - V1), foramen rotundum (nerve maxillaris - V2) and foramen ovale (mandibular nerve - V3)

VI cranial nerve - The nerve Abdusen
Primarily motor. Derived from the Pons posterior margin of the core premises in the nucleus abdusen. Abdusen nerve supplies the lateral rectus muscle, which serves for the abduction of the eyeball; located in the superior orbital fissure.

VII cranial nerve - facial nerve
Is a sensory and motor nerves. Derived from the Pons (serebelopontin angle) above the olive. In the nucleus of the facial nucleus, nucleus solitarius, nucleus salivarius superior. The facial nerve supplies the muscles of facial expression, posterior belly muscles digastrik, and stapedius muscle. Sensory nerves receive excitatory taste of 2 / 3 anterior tongue, and supplies the salivary glands (except parotid gland) and glands lakrimalis; located in the internal acoustic canal, extending into the facial canal and exits the foramen stilomastoideus.

VIII cranial nerve - The nerve Vestibulokokhlearis (or vestibulo-auditory nerve or nerve statoakustikus)
Primarily sensory. Located in the lateral facial nerve (serebelopontin angle). The vestibular nuclei, and kokhlear. Receive excitatory noise, rotation and gravity (for balance and body movement). More specifically, the vestibular branch carry impulses for hearing; located in the internal acoustic canal.

IX cranial nerve - The nerve Glossofaringeus

Is the motor and sensory nerves. Derived from the medulla. Nucleus ambiguus, the nucleus of the inferior salivarius, the nucleus solitarius. Glossofaringeus receive excitatory nerve flavor of 1 / 3 back of the tongue, supply the parotid gland, and supplies the motion stilofaringeus. Some are also in the relay sensations to the brain from tonsila palatine. Sensation in the relay to the opposite side of the thalamus and some hypothalamic nuclei. located in the jugular foramen.

Cranial nerve X - vagus nerve
Is a sensory and motor nerves. Out of the sulcus posterolateral medulla. Nucleus ambiguus, dorsal motor vagal nucleus, nucleus solitarius. The vagus nerve supplies the motion brakhiomotorik for almost all the muscles of the pharyngeal and laringeral (except stafilofaringeus muscle, which is innervated by the nerve glossofaringeus); of the vagus as well as parasympathetic fibers to nearly all organs of the chest and abdominal viscera down to the flexure splenikus; and the vagus also receive a special taste sensation of the epiglottis. The main functions: to control the muscles of the sound and resonance. Symptoms of damage: dysphagia (trouble swallowing), velofaringeal insufficiency. Located in jugular foramen.

Cranial nerve XI - accessory nerve (or cranial accessory nerve or spinal accessory nerve)
Primarily motor. Derived from cranial and spinal roots. Nucleus ambiguus, nucleus asesorium cord. Nerve function is to control the sternokleidomastoideus and trapezius muscles, along with the function of the vagus. Examples of symptoms: inability shrug, weak head movement; located in the jugular foramen.

XII cranial nerves - nerves Hipoglosus
Is a motor nerve. Derived from the medulla. hipoglosal core. movement of the muscles of the tongue (except muscles are innervated palatoglossus of the vagus) and other glossal muscles. Important for swallowing (bolus formation) and the articulation of language. located on the canal hipoglosal.

Mnemonic
Because of the importance of considering all the cranial nerves during nervous system examination, many created mnemonic to help remember names and cranial nerve function. The three most widely used mnemonic, for example:
"On Old Olympus's Towering Tops, A Fine-Vested German Viewed Some Hops,"
"Oh, Oh, Oh To Take A Family Vacation! Go Vegas After Hours ", and
"Oh, Oh, Oh, To Touch And Feel, A Good Velvet, Ahh, Heaven."
"Old Opie occasionally tries TRIGonometry And Feels Very Gloomy, Vague, And hypoactive"
And also there is a mnemonic to remember the kind of sensory (S) or motoris (M), or Both / Both (B), namely:
"Some Say Money Matters But My Brother Says Big Brains Matter Most".

Interstisialis Cystitis

Interstisialis Cystitis is an inflammation of the bladder that cause pain.

CAUSE
The cause is unknown because no infectious organisms found in the urine. Which is typical of this disease is often found in middle-aged women.

SYMPTOMS
Symptoms include:
- Frequent urination
- Urge to urinate
- Dysuria (pain when urinating)
- Pain during sexual intercourse (dyspareunia).

Sometimes the urine contains blood. In the end could happen pengisutan bladder.

Diagnosis
Diagnosis based on examination results sitoskopi, which will appear to the points of bleeding in the lining of the bladder.

TREATMENT
There is no standard treatment or effective treatment for cystitis interstisialis.

Several types of treatment ever attempted in patients with cystitis interstisialis:
- Dilatation (widening) of the bladder by hydrostatic pressure (water power)
- Medications (elmiron, nalmafen)
- Anti-depression (pain relief effect)
- antispasmodic
- Klorapaktin (inserted into the bladder)
- Antibiotics (usually not much help, unless there is a bladder infection)
- DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide), to reduce inflammation
- Surgery.

Kidney stones


Kidney stones are often a frightening specter for each person. Moreover, this stone can cause kidney failure if treated too late.

Kidney stones are formed from a variety of substances. These stones are generally formed from calcium and oxalate. The amount was sometimes not just one. Could some of the stones with varying sizes. "Generally, these stones measuring between 7 to 10 cm. But there also can reach the size of 15 cm.

CAUSE
What caused the stone is still not known with certainty. There is an assumption if the diet is associated with increased risk of stone formation. For example excessive calcium intake may increase risk of kidney stones. But this is not true.

In fact there are people who are keeping the intake of calcium but still affected by kidney stones. While all those other people did not even hit mengasup calcium kidney stones.

The doctors suspect this is caused by genetic factors. Genetic abnormalities in patients who made her remove excess calcium or other substances that can form stones. So that these minerals precipitate in the kidney or in the urinary tract and into the stone.

HANDLING
Drink plenty of water is a way to help remove the stones that have broken through the urine.

If the size of the stone is too large it must be immediately removed. The way in which did not use surgery with large incisions. Nowadays stone removal can be done with laparaskopi technique, namely surgery with minimal incisions. Or it could be the technique of shock waves (ESWL), which would destroy the stone to be excreted through the urine.

PREVENTION
Although diet had little influence on the formation of kidney stones, a healthy lifestyle is recommended for every person who has been affected or not affected by kidney stones. Healthy lifestyle include diet, drink lots of water, and regular activity can prolong the process of formation and size of stones.
