The study involved 200 patients with bladder cancer. A diet of hundreds of respondents were then compared with the 386 respondents who did not have the disease.

Research conducted Dutch and Belgian scientists wanted to find out if indeed saturated fat contained in meat and dairy products, like cheese, can cause a person more at risk of developing cancer than the more healthy fats. Foods with more healthy fats such as olive oil it.

The presence of the hormone melatonin in the body ordered the break. During the day, the hormone is not produced.

Cigarettes Cause TB Disease

The habit of smoking can further increase the occurrence of TB infection, TB disease, and death. Thus the results of a recent study conducted Hsien-Ho Lin and colleagues at the Harvard School of Public Health.


Lin claimed evidence of an association between smoking, passive smoking, and indoor air pollution from firewood and coal to the risk of infection, disease and death from tuberculosis. Of the approximately 100 people who examined it was found that smoking tobacco and as many as 33 people suffering from tuberculosis, passive smokers and 5 people suffer from TB and affected by air pollution and 5 people suffer from tuberculosis.

According to Lin, those infected with TB is that time of the examination showed a positive tuberculin skin test, tuberculosis, and died of tuberculosis. The findings mentioned at least cigarette smoking increases the risk of tuberculosis as much as two times compared with those who do not smoke.

There are strong links between those active smoking with the occurrence of TB infections and deaths from tuberculosis. While in those exposed to air pollution and as a second-hand smoke, the evidence that explains the relationship with tuberculosis infection is still very limited, and still done the research to date.

The conclusion to prevent the incidence of TB infection is to stop smoking and avoid exposure to air is filled with pollutants.

Beware of Symptoms of Narcolepsy

Narcolepsy is a rare sleep disorder, characterized by recurrent attacks of irresistible sleep during the hours of work, paralysis and hallucinations. The cause is unknown, but these disorders tend to be found in one family, which allegedly is a hereditary disease.


Symptoms usually begin in adolescence or young adulthood and settled for life. Patients face the sudden attacks of irresistible sleepiness, which can occur at any time. Feel like sleeping only be detained for a while. But once asleep, the patient usually can be easily awakened.

The attacks can occur several times a day, and every attack usually lasts for 1 hour or less. The attacks are more common in a monotonous situation, such as a boring meeting or driving a car over long distances.

Patients feel the freshness when awake, but a few minutes then fall asleep again. Patients may experience temporary paralysis without a decrease in consciousness (a condition called katapleksi), in response to a sudden emotional reactions such as anger, fear, joy, laughter or surprise. Walking becomes limp, dropping goods being held or dropped to the ground.

Patients may also experience episodes of sleep paralysis, whereby when just falling asleep or immediately after waking, the patient felt unable to move. Hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that are not really there) may occur at the beginning of sleep or when awake. Hallucinations resembles an ordinary dream, but more powerful.

Diagnosis is usually established on the basis of the symptoms, but similar symptoms do not necessarily indicate that the person is suffering from narcolepsy. Katapleksi, sleep paralysis and hallucinations, commonly found in children and sometimes occurs in healthy adults.

Electroencephalogram (EEG), which is the recording of brain electrical activity, could indicate that the pattern of REM sleep occurs when the patient started to fall asleep. This is typical for narcolepsy. Nothing found structural changes in the brain and not found abnormalities in the results of blood tests.

Treatment
Stimulant drugs (stimulants), such as fedrin, amphetamines, dekstroamfetamin and metilfenidat, can help reduce narcolepsy. The dose is adjusted to avoid undesirable side effects, such as anxiety, overactive or weight loss. To reduce katapleksi, usually given antidepressants, namely imipramin.

Prevent Typhoid Fever

Typhoid fever is a systemic infection caused by pathogenic bacteria especially Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi (S. typhi). Infections that are quite similar, but more or less severity is paratyphoid fever caused by S. paratyphi A, B, and sometimes C. S. typhi is a bacterial pathogen that has adapted well to humans about 50,000 years ago through a mechanism to survive in the host (host) extraordinary
Typhoid fever can be very severe, as seen from the report that 32% of deaths occurred in several regions of the world. Indonesia reported prevalence rate ranges from 1.6% and ranks 15 major causes of death. Until the twentieth century, the disease has spread throughout the world. Future cases of typhoid in developing countries will be much reduced because of improvements in sanitation and hygiene
In endemic areas, the highest incidence of typhoid fever occur in children aged 5 to 19 years, in some cases significantly typhoid causing pain between the ages of 1 to 5 years. In children aged younger than a year, the disease is usually more severe and associated with complications that commonly occur
Typhoid is usually transmitted through consumption of contaminated food or water and certain risk factors including drinking from contaminated water sources, drinks with ice, and fruits and vegetables grown using fertilizer from manure. Transmission connection with contaminated urine can also occur. Transmission from person to person are also possible. Pathogens can survive in water for days and months on frozen eggs and shellfish contaminated.
In general, symptoms of typhoid fever would occur after 7-14 days since the body is infected, but can also range from 3 till 60 days. Patients typically come to the hospital with complaints such as fever, flu symptoms, severe headache, malaise, anorexia, abdominal discomfort, dry cough, and sore muscles.
Gradually, the body temperature will continue to rise and settle at a high temperature in the second week, and even up to 4 weeks if not treated. Then the temperature will return to normal, though a sense of weakness and fatigue will continue to be felt until a few weeks later.
10% to 15% of patients who do not get treatment usually experience a variety of complications such as bleeding and perforation in the small intestine, as well as a few conditions of nerve disorders. Bleeding occurs in conditions of severe infection, and is characterized by lower body temperature rapidly and then rose again in the early occurrence of peritonitis, a dangerous condition in which inflammation occurs in the peritoneum (the thin membrane protects the walls of the abdominal cavity). Small bowel perforation occurs in 1-3% of patients hospitalized with a mortality rate of 40%. This complication usually affects the terminal ileum and need immediate surgery.
Recurrence occurs in 5-10% of cases, usually within a month after the fever was declared cured. Symptoms are generally milder than the previous infection and in cases where the molecular classification of S. typhi has been conducted, showed that relapse is generally caused by isolates of the same type of previous infection. Recurrent infections with isolates of different species can also occur.
The factors that most affect the poor condition of patients with typhoid fever is the delay in providing adequate antibiotic treatment and effective. It is important to ensure the eradication of S. typhi from patients to reduce the likelihood of recurrence or status as carriers of disease. In cases where severe abdominal swelling and vomiting or diarrhea patients should be continuously hospitalized and intravenously. In general, typhoid fever patients to undergo treatment at home with oral antibiotics and outpatient.
Contaminated food and water is known as a medium of transmission of typhoid fever. Currently, prevention of enteric fever is more focused on improving sanitation, water supply and ensure food security, identification and therapy (carrier) and chronic use of typhoid vaccines to reduce human vulnerability to infection
Vaccination is an additional weapon and not a substitute for avoiding the foods and beverages at risk because not 100% protective efficacy; further immunity can be defeated by the number of bacterial inoculum doses. There are two currently used vaccine, namely Ty21 vaccines given per oral and injectable vaccine Vi polysaccharide pure. Both are considered safe and well tolerated
