Details of The Liver Cancer.

Laryngeal cancer

2011-11-27T07:12:00.000-08:00

The larynx is an organ located below the throat and is located where the vocal cords, structures responsible for speech.

Cancer of the larynx can be located above the vocal cords (supraglottic), located in the portion where the vocal cords (glottis) or below, at the beginning of the trachea (infraglottic). He belongs to the group of tumors that are given the name of the Head and Neck Cancers.

This cancer is most often epidermoid or squamous type, ie, are the cells that line the larynx that undergo changes and become malignant.
What Causes Cancer of the larynx?

The main risk factors for this type of cancer are smoking (any type) and excessive use of alcoholic beverages.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
The main symptom is hoarseness of the tumor. In people who already have the voice more hoarse, worsening of symptoms or change in voice may indicate a change in the vocal cords, this change could be related to this cancer. May be accompanied by ear pain, persistent cough, difficulty or pain upon swallowing and lymph (lymph nodes or lumps) increased in the lateral region of the neck (when it is considered locally advanced).

How is it diagnosed THIS CANCER?
When a person feels one of the above symptoms, especially if you smoke and use alcohol regularly, you should see a doctor you trust. This doctor will examine your throat (inside) and your neck.

If the doctor finds it necessary, he will do a laryngoscopy - a test in which you place a mirror or an endoscope apparatus itself to the throat to see a change to explain what the patient is feeling. If any change is found, a biopsy (removing a small piece of the lining of the larynx or injury) will be held in order to make a more detailed examination in a pathology laboratory (pathological examination).

If the cancer diagnosis is confirmed, the doctor will refer the patient to where they treat patients with cancer and more tests will be conducted to assess the extent of disease (staging tests). These tests may include CT scans and blood tests.

As this is?
The treatment depends on several factors, such as the extent of disease (spread to lymph nodes or other organs of the neck), tumor localization, the aggressiveness of malignant cells, age and health of the patient.
Treatment is always the goal to avoid surgeries that remove the entire larynx, because it makes the patient unable to speak normally. The treatments most commonly used are partial surgery, radiotherapy and concomitant chemotherapy (simultaneously) or in sequence. The tumor is examined after treatment to confirm that disappeared. In this case, it is not necessary to do the surgery to remove the organ and the patient continues to speak naturally. If the tumor does not disappear, or return, you can still have surgery to remove the tumor and in this case, in most cases, the larynx and vocal cords are removed and the patient can not speak for more natural way. Devices are developed for the patient to communicate and it is important to maintain quality of life of patients and their social life.

Continue smoking and drinking alcohol beverages during and after treatment lessens the chance of cure and also increase the chance of the cancer return or to have another cancer in the head and neck or other body part.

If the cancer is very early and has not spread to lymph in the neck and no other place in the body the chance of cure after treatment may be up to 95%. For most patients, in whom the cancer comes back, this is the first 2 to 3 years after treatment, and rarely the tumor comes back after 5 years.

Early Detection of Cancer

2011-11-27T07:09:00.000-08:00

WHAT Is EARLY DETECTION IN CANCER SCREENING?

Early detection means to diagnose cancer in its pre-symptomatic stage, ie before the person manifests any symptoms related to disease or submit any changes to the physical examination by a health professional.

Cancer, like other diseases, has a natural history characterized by a spectrum that has its beginning in some malignant cells - which for unclear reasons are not destroyed by the system of the body's natural protection - and goes up to the stage the disease is clinically diagnosable through its signs and symptoms.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE EARLY DETECTION
The examinations and laboratory tests and imaging used for early detection of a particular type of cancer, do not make the diagnosis of cancer, but rather select people suspected of having this cancer so that more specific tests are undertaken and is confirmed or ruled out the suspicion. Generally, the confirmatory test is a biopsy or examination of a particular body tissue (pathological).

For a test to be considered a "screening", ie, to be considered suitable to be carried in a person who shows signs and symptoms of the disease, it must:

Having the ability to diagnose the cancer before a person develops symptoms
Offer little risk or discomfort to the person
Having an affordable
On the other hand, to develop early detection methods for a particular type of cancer, you must:

There is enough scientific evidence that if this cancer is diagnosed early there is a medical treatment that improves the prognosis of the disease

That this treatment is not worse than the disease itself
This means that the test is not good good and cheap little uncomfortable but not a treatment available to change the natural history of disease. Also not enough to have treatments that may be instituted in the preclinical phase of disease (stage of the disease that still can not make the diagnosis by signs and symptoms that causes the disease), there are no tests to diagnose this cancer in the pre -clinic.

In addition to these features described above (having the ability to diagnose cancer earlier and this cancer have treatments available to alter the natural history), early detection should be performed only in those cancers that are diagnosed early and effective treatment instituted early, may modify the cost affective, personal and financial information relating to diagnosis and treatment and / or decrease the mortality associated with this type of cancer. That is, no point in making early diagnosis and treat cancer in its preclinical phase, if it will not change the mortality and / or the person's suffering. Because if so, what is being done is simply make a person healthy and asymptomatic in a sick person with all personal and financial costs related to diagnosis and treatment of a disease like this.

Many cancers and various diagnostic tests have these characteristics:

Diagnose cancer before developing signs and symptoms
Having an effective treatment for this type of cancer

What type of tests are done to detect early cancer?

The easiest way to test this is by visual observation of suspicious lesions, followed by palpation. Procedures are easy, low cost and with minimal discomfort.

The inspection (or visual examination) of changes in texture and color of the skin, oral mucosa, retina and the cervix is an example of how to seek changes suggestive of a premalignant lesion.

Palpation is also particularly useful, easy to make and cheap to detect early breast lumps, enlarged prostate or lymph nodes changed.
Other types of tests are done to detect early. They are screening tests such as X-rays, scans or laboratory tests such as blood and urine tests.
WHAT types of cancer can be diagnosed early?
Examples of cancers in which you can be held early detection and be treated effectively:

breast cancer
cancer of the cervix
colon cancer.
TO REDUCE YOUR CHANCES OF DEVELOPING A CANCER FOLLOW THESE TIPS:

Consult with your doctor regularly
Make tests for early detection of cancer he recommends, with the frequency that is most suitable for your specific case.

Do not smoke
Do not drink too much alcohol
Eat fruits and vegetables daily
Take plenty of water
Exercise regularly as directed by medical
Avoid the sun between 10 am and 16 hours
Women: breast-feed their children
Prevent sexually transmitted diseases using barrier methods (condoms)
Practice a religious faith or another form of spirituality
Be happy!

Questions you can ask your doctor
A disease discovered in its preclinical phase may regress?
Is there a genetic test that tells if someday I'll have cancer?

Harms of Natural juices and other drinks

2011-07-18T10:00:00.001-07:00

Natural juices and other drinks can sabotage your efforts to streamline the silhouette. The good thing is that, knowing this, it is easier to escape this trap.

Do you avoid thinking that the sandwich may be too hot. Look to the side and asks an orange juice. Oops, the option is not the most accurate for those who are fighting against the scales - for starters, the two choices have the same amount of calories. And the juice can be more misleading ... The information came from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, who recently released the results of a study on the supply of 810 adults between 25 and 79 years in the United States.

Over a year and a half, the volunteers were monitored in two stages, lasting six months each. In the first, had to remove one drink with sugar per day, was a juice or a soda. Second, cut a portion of the daily intake of solid food with the same caloric value of the liquid.

Conclusion: The fluid restriction did lose more weight than solids. Pound against 100 grams in the period. The reason is simple for the nutritionist Helena Novareti, Federal University of São Paulo: "Dieters better control the consumption of pasta, meat and snacks." The heavy drinking going on just because it is digested faster and therefore the feeling of hunger back soon. In the case of solid items, what counts most in your favor is chewing. It is during this process that the feeling of fullness is already being produced.

A common mistake is to think that replacing soda or juice industrialized by a natural fruit juice will address the amount of calories. Unfortunately, it will not. "Although much more healthy fruits also have their sugar, and thus gain weight. The trick is not to exaggerate the natural juices account that you have taken within the recommended intake of fruits for three days," says Helen. An orange, for example, already has three parts (see infographic "The fruit has")

For those who are thinking of opting for diet drinks, light or zero attention. "They have higher levels of sweeteners and preservatives very high. And contain phosphorus, which competes with calcium, making this important keeper of the bones is not absorbed," explains Adriana Passos, a nutritionist at the Catholic University of Campinas, in São Paulo.

The trick to freshen up without guilt is to give preference to juice a lemon or passion fruit mixed with a glass of water. Another suggestion is to mix and thin flavored water with a slice of pineapple. In this case, the variation in fruit helps to not get sick of flavors. Plus, if you switch the drink with fresh fruit, ensure more nutrients. "It's just that, beating the fruit in a liquid indicator, the fibers are important in weight management, blood glucose, cholesterol and bowel function, are lost," explains nutritionist Rachel Dammous of São Paulo.

7 unusual foods

2011-07-18T09:59:00.000-07:00

Wheat bran to watermelon: prepare a selection of grains, fruits and seeds that attract attention for her role of science in the prevention and control of hypertension, a problem in the lives of more than 30 million Brazilians.

Silent enemy: this is the way the medical community often refer to hypertension. And the reason is so simple and daunting: 90% of people with high blood pressure have no symptoms and, consequently, can be diagnosed only after suffering a stroke or a heart attack. All this drama, thankfully, can be avoided. And for that we must not clog the remedy, as most people think. In most cases, a better fate for the blood vessels depends on the follow-up with the cardiologist and the correct choice of foods included on the menu.

"A balanced diet coupled with physical exercise, is often enough to prevent and even control hypertension, a lighter," says cardiologist Bolivar Malachias Marcus, Chairman, Department of Hypertension Society of Cardiology. That said, it's time to present seven foods that are in evidence in the research centers for their ability to leave the arteries free of suffocation. See if it's not worth enjoy them for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Bran
It's a given that beans and whole grains should appear regularly on the menu when you want to stop the constriction of blood vessels. after all, are relieved sources of fiber, compounds that hinder the absorption of fats and bad cholesterol, LDL. Why participate in this clean up in the arteries, these foods help increase blood flow without the dirt path. But when it comes to hypertension, a representative of this class is important. is wheat bran which offers, in addition to fiber, magnesium, zinc and B vitamins "This set of nutrients have a direct impact on vessel relaxation," says nutritionist Borim Najran, the Oswaldo Cruz German Hospital, in São Paulo.
Suggested use
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of bran in vitamins, fruit and savory meals.

Strawberry
Over 14 years, scientists from the University of East Anglia in England, and Harvard in the United States, followed the habits of about 156 000 people. after this long time, saw an 8% decrease in risk of hypertension among fans of strawberries and other berries. The merit seems to come from an antioxidant that gives color to these berries, the anthocyanin. "It works in reducing LDL molecules, the bad cholesterol and increasing HDL, the version of the well, benefiting circulation," explains Najran. "Moreover, this substance combat the inflammatory process involved in cardiovascular disease," he adds. Who wants to change will find plenty of anthocyanins in other fruits such as raspberry and blackberry.
Suggested use
Include 5 strawberries for breakfast or take the natural fruit juice after meals.

Pumpkin seed
Size does not matter even for this small seed is rich in nutrients. among them are potassium, a mineral known to improve the elasticity of blood vessels. According to nutritionist Cristina Maria Freitas, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, it also exalt aee the presence of vitamins, fiber, magnesium and fats as well. "All this makes this seed a great ally of the cardiovascular system," says the expert. the nutritional value, moreover, was evaluated in a study of the seed oil administered to animals in Saudi Arabia. Conclusion: The preparation enhanced the action of antihypertensive drugs, greatly facilitating the adjustment of blood pressure.
Suggested use
Bake 1 cup of pumpkin seeds, and after golden brown, serve them as an appetizer.

Egg White
Despite raising more questions than answers, a search of the Autonomous University of Madrid, Spain, notes that portions of egg white proteins have an amazing vasodilator properties - depending on the selected amino acids, the arteries relax even 70% more . "Now it is necessary to check whether these beneficial molecules remain stable during cooking. Then we will know whether it is better to consume egg whites poached or baked," says Lopes Heno cardiologist, Heart Institute, Hospital das Clinicas in Sao Paulo. we do not have this information, the recommendation is to include the egg into a balanced diet, choosing to share their whitest.
Suggested use
Try putting water in the pan instead of fat or fry an egg with little vegetable oil.

Soy
The spotlight again heading to the isoflavone, most illustrious of the grain worshiped by the Eastern and famous to silence unwanted symptoms of menopause. after reviewing a host of articles favored by it, Chinese scientists found that their blood ingestion relieves traffic. According to the cardiologist Marcus Malachias, isoflavone is not just a good vasodilator. "It prevents aggression factors for the arteries, such as cholesterol and glucose, to stimulate plaque formation in their inner layer, protecting them from clogging," said the doctor. No obstacles in its path, the blood flows more easily and the pressure tends to remain in full measure.
Suggested use
Cook 1 cup of grain and use it as a substitute for beans or salads.

Guarana
For years, the native fruit from the Amazon and other foods high in caffeine were branded as dangerous to the arteries. the truth however is that no study has confirmed its link with hypertension. Quite the contrary. in a group of 637 people over 60 years accompanied by the Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, and the state of Amazonas, those who reported regularly drinking a mixture of guarana powder, water and a pinch of sugar or honey were less obese and had a lesser frequency, high blood pressure. "The accumulation of fat provides vascular changes that can lead to hypertension," explains the biogerontóloga ivana Cross, the institution in the State. A message to who controls the pressure with medicine: guarana should only be asked if the doctor to release it.
Suggested use
Add 1 / 2 teaspoon of Guarana powder to fruit juices and take in the morning.

Watermelon
For those already with the pressure limit, this is one item that deserves permanent place in the fruit bowl. the suggestion comes from researchers at Florida State University, in the United States, after observing the effect of daily doses of the extract of the fruit in individuals with prehypertension, stage before the disease itself, for six weeks. The feat is responsible for a substance that appears to the mountains in watermelon, l-citrulline. "In the body, it becomes another molecule that contributes to the formation of nitric oxide, a gas that relaxes the blood vessel wall," says Malachi. Now, experts seek to define how to best leverage this ingredient anti-hypertension - would be in juice, fruit in it?

Heart disease risk increases in winter

2011-07-18T09:58:00.000-07:00

The drop in temperature, caused by the coldest season of the year, could trigger a time when there is decreased blood flow to the heart muscle, causing angina, heart failure or even a myocardial infarction with or without sudden death. This is the warning Alexandre Cury, a cardiologist at Medical Diagnostic Bronstein.

According to him, the body internally resents the winter and, thus, the risk of heart problems also increase at this time. According to the American Heart Association (American Heart Association), the winter increases from 20% to 25% the incidence of cardiovascular disease. The risks grow especially to people who already have a predisposition and for those who suffer from heart problems.

Cury explains that this is because the reactions of the organism at low temperatures (hypothermia) overload the cardiovascular system, which needs to work harder in the cold to keep the thermal equilibrium. These reactions include constriction (spasm) of blood vessels, shallow breathing through the mouth and increased heart rate. "With the cold, change occurs in vessels, especially arteries, causing less blood circulating to the heart. This can cause the heart from ischemia (lack of circulation in the coronary arteries) to angina (a type of chest pain) "he says.

Cardiologist warns that the elderly, the dangers are even greater. In heart disease, the cold can aggravate the symptoms of angina, increase blood pressure and risk of the elderly have a stroke.
Cury recalls that during the winter, the body is more susceptible to viral diseases, which may promote a greater demand for the body's stress, causing imbalance of the heart muscle, promoting heart failure as the main symptom is shortness of breath during efforts.

People should take care of the eating habits in the winter, that changes this time and should practice exercise even at low temperatures. Generally, people opt for heavier foods in winter, high in fat, and decrease the frequency of physical activity. "This combination can lead to uncontrolled risk factors for heart disease," he concludes.

Americans believes that chocolate can reduce symptoms of PMS

2011-07-18T09:57:00.000-07:00

Women all over the world can claim that chocolate has medicinal properties. After all, the candy during PMS seems to be able to calm some symptoms that affect their day to day. And now there's another excuse to open a bar: a U.S. company launched CocoPMS Confections Xan, dark chocolate truffles that promise to reduce the effects of TPM due to anti-inflammatory compounds and bilberry chasteberry that are part of their formula.

According to information released by the Daily Mail on Monday (18), chocolate helps reduce headaches and cramps. "We are excited about the possibility of appeal to this niche market with a healthy chocolate, high quality," said Susan Johnson, director of the company.

Despite being "free of guilt", chocolate from TPM weighs in your pocket, since it can cost between 7.50 to 30 pounds (somewhere between R and R $ 19.10 $ 76.40).

Researchers estimate that one in three women suffer from premenstrual tension up to two weeks before menstruation. The problem is caused by the change in levels of the hormone progesterone and brings varied symptoms such as cramping, bloating, fatigue and emotional disorders.

The Xan Confections chocolate has other remedies, such as CocoHeart, which promises to keep the heart healthy and CocoPreggers aimed at pregnant women and enriched with folic acid.

Obese people should love Their body to lose weight

2011-07-18T09:55:00.000-07:00

Start working the self-image is the first step to begin the obese to lose weight is what indicates a study conducted at the Technical University of Lisbon and Bangor University, with information from the Daily Mail.

The researchers found that obese women who were asked about their health lost 2% of their initial weight in a year. However, among women who also had group discussions to talk about their personal barriers to weight loss was even higher, reaching 7%.

Research indicates that the image that makes the person's own body is your confidence level, composed of a mixture of life experiences, personality and social pressures.

The lead researcher, Peter Tan, said the body-image problems are common among obese people, leading them to eat to feel more comfortable or to adopt strict standards of food, making it even harder to lose weight.

He said the results show a strong relationship with body self-image of the reduction of anxiety about the opinions of others and positive changes in eating behavior. The conclusion of the research was published in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity.

Bring Multiple Sclerosis under control

2011-07-18T09:54:00.000-07:00

Recently approved in the country, new drug Jove autoimmune attacks the nervous system and gives carriers the problem in a more advanced stage chance to return to a normal life.

Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease sneaky, which causes a kind of short-circuit nervous. And thus stripping the neurons responsible for the exchange of information the command center with the rest of the body, compromising in a matter of years or decades, functions such as speech, vision, memory and locomotion. Those responsible for this tilt are some mad agents of the defense system, which begin to attack myelin sheaths, layers of fat that cover the tail of nerve cells, and create gaps in your network connection in communication. The good news is that the therapeutic gains a new ally to counter the effects of hardware failure: a drug that could preserve the nerve shielded wires.

The drug, tested in 75 000 patients worldwide, primarily gives hope to people with relapsing-remitting type of the disorder, which represents 85% of cases and has no cure. The drug called natalizumab, an injectable antibody developed by pharmaceutical companies Biogen Idec, the United States, and Elan, Ireland. Approved by the National Sanitary Surveillance Agency since 2008, he received the stamp in 2010 to integrate the guidelines for treatment of multiple sclerosis recognized by the Ministry of Health and should be released soon, the patients in the National Health System "is between the natalizumab 70 and 80% effective in reducing inflammation of the nervous system, as against 30 to 40% of conventional drugs, "attests to the neurologist Rodrigo Thomaz, Santa Casa de Misericordia de Sao Paulo.

He said at least 200 people have taken the treatment in Brazil, including the actress Claudia Rodrigues, who recently returned to TV after more than a year away. The drug grants to individuals in more advanced stage of the disease the opportunity to not spend your life in bed. "The indication of the remedy, however, should happen only after attempts with therapy based on immunomodulators, the drugs of first choice," says Thomas. That's because, despite so much benefit, therapy with natalizumab also includes risks, especially of severe opportunistic infections. "This is why it only be applied in reference centers in multiple sclerosis, empowered to monitor patients," says neuro.

Multiple sclerosis usually manifests itself in people aged 20 to 50 years, mainly women - and their origin remains unknown. In the initial phase, the person may have speech and difficulty swallowing and, over time, come endless fatigue and memory lapses. There are also reports of depression and mood swings. Other symptoms include bowel and bladder problems, blurred or double vision, poor balance and coordination, stiffness or tingling in the limbs, and sexual dysfunction.

When the disorder is not progressive, treatment depends on immunomodulators, drugs that help suppress the attack of the host cell defense crazy. In cases more aggressive, the immunosuppressive drugs are used, all that upset the patient's immunity. Some doctors, however, betting on other control strategies. The neurologist Cicero Galli Coimbra, Federal University of São Paulo, for example, defends the treatment with vitamin D. "The lower levels of this molecule, the disease is most active. In other words, the seizures become frequent and increase the risk of sequelae," he says. For the doctor, the deficit of the vitamin would be one of the triggers of the disorder.

In the field of promises, there is a stem cell transplant, carried out experimentally for ten years by the staff of Julius Voltarelli immunologist, Faculty of Medicine of Ribeirão Preto, University of São Paulo. "Early results indicate that the procedure prevents disease progression in 70% of cases," says the researcher. According to rheumatologist Daniel Moraes, Immune Therapy Unit of the institution, was completed about 50 transplants this goal. "The disease does not regress, but a patient who was still on crutches walking on crutches," exemplifies the doctor. A step forward if we think that their fate could be a bed.

Preserved Network
The new drug natalizumab neutralizes the action of aggressive defense cells by preventing their passage from blood to brain

The disease
In disease, the immune system attacks the myelin sheath, whitish mass and fat that covers the tail of the neurons. This undermines or destroys the cell's communication with its neighbor. On a larger scale, there is a nervous system involvement and communication between the brain and body, affecting motor, sensory and cognitive.

The drug action
The natalizumab is injected into the vein and connects to the defense cells attack the myelin sheath. With this connection, the lymphocytes can not leave the blood vessels to detonate the nerônios. This reduces inflammation, a phenomenon that limits communication between nerve cells.

Stem Cells
Treatment resets the immune system so that it does not harm the nerves

1. The patient is hospitalized and undergoing chemotherapy sessions to kill the cells of your immune system was compromised by disease and attacks the nervous system.

2. Stem cells not affected by environmental factors are taken from bone marrow of the individual in advance. These are units that later will turn into defense cells brand new, without that memory that would encourage the target neurons.

3. The cells, after a period in the laboratory, are returned to the patient and multiply to form a new immune system, this time not aggressive. Treatment involves risks, since the patient is no immunity for a while, but its effectiveness is 70%. Even after the procedure, patients continue to take medications for safety.

Peeling of skin in winter

2011-06-22T06:47:00.000-07:00

For many, dry skin is not a sign of a condition or disease but a reaction to soaps, clothes, misuse of moisturizer and hot baths. But some - and even medical conditions such as diabetes, psoriasis, hypothyroidism, malnutrition - can also let it dry.

The normal, healthy skin is coated with a thin layer of protection that keeps the moisture, leaving it soft and smooth. The skin becomes dry, usually for something in the environment that takes its natural protection. Less frequently, the cause is internal, a health condition or genetic predisposition.

If left untreated, can lead to some dermatitis. The good news is that, like most of the causes of dry skin is foreign, most of the cures is also external. You can usually solve the problem.

Misuse of moisturizer
The biggest mistake we can do is apply moisturizer on dry skin. "You have to put moisturizer when your skin is still damp," says Barney Kenet, a dermatologist and author of "How to wash your face."

"Thus, the moisturizer holds the moisture in your skin." Let penetrate the skin for several minutes and then rinse the towel to remove excess, it is recommended.
Experts recommend that people with dry skin opt for moisturizers that have soft perfume or alcohol. The moisturizer should be thick in order to seal the moisture needed for skin care and dry.

A simple test is to put a little lotion in the palm of the hand and when will it drop, it is not thick enough for dry skin.

Air dry
The dry air is probably the most common cause of dryness, especially during the winter. After the ambient temperature, another problem is in the house with the heater.

Other care tips dry skin include using a humidifier in her room, and hats, scarves and gloves when going out. It is recommended that people wear socks to the calf during the winter.

Long hot baths
Dermatologists advise: Reduce the time to opt for a few minutes and warm water.

The beautician Regina Ferraz, Jose Bento Clinic Dr de Souza said that hot, soapy baths dehydrate the skin, because they favor the removal of excess protective layer (mantle hydrolipidic) that coats the skin, leaving it even drier and maltrada.

Soap
The person who goes to school or work does not get very dirty during the day, but many people rub the skin. Unless you are a child, the only parts of the body that need soap are the face, hands, feet, armpits and private parts. The rest of the body usually can only be washed with water.

Many choose unwisely the soap. We go for the deodorant or antibacterial, which generate lots of foam and make us feel completely clean, but these are the most that dry the skin.

For the care of dry skin, look for softer soap and fragrance free. Do not use anything rough to increase the bath, like sponges.

Medicines
Some drugs have the side effect of drying the skin, such as medicines to control blood pressure, acne and other skin conditions, such as retinoids.
If you notice the appearance of a problem of dry skin after taking a medicine, ask your doctor. He may be able to change the dose or the proper remedy.

Health conditions
Generally, dry skin is caused by external factors. But sometimes it can be a sign of something going on internally, whether a natural physiological change or disease.

Dry skin often develops when people grow older, especially women. Changes in hormone levels can cause skin ressecamentoda. Around 75% of those over 64 have dry skin.

A number of medical conditions can result in the problem:

• Skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. While they generally require direct treatment, the use of moisturizers often helps.
• Diabetes. Changes in glucose levels can lead to dehydration that leaves the skin dry. Since diabetes can delay healing and increase the risk of infections is especially important for people with this condition maintain healthy skin.

• Hypothyroidism. Low levels of thyroid hormone can reduce the amount of oil produced by the skin. As a result, the skin becomes dry and rough and moisturizer is unlikely to help. Hypothyroidism is accompanied by other symptoms such as fatigue and weight gain.

• Malnutrition. Do not consume all the nutrients you need can leave your skin dry.

So if your skin problem has brought uncomfortable, it's time to talk to a doctor. It can help you identify the causes for the necessary treatment.

Blood Donors: minimum 16 and maximum 68 years

2011-06-22T06:23:00.000-07:00

Currently you must have at least 18 years and a maximum of 65. Now the Ministry of Health extends the age range of donors.

Remember that minors can volunteer only with the consent of parents or legal guardians. With this expansion, the Ministry of Health plans to increase from 3.5 million donations per year to 4 million.

Only in this way to gradually reach the recommendation of the World Health Organization: 1.5% to 3% of the population to donate. Here, we have 1.9% of the population being donor, with the measure, expected to reach 2.1%.

Almost half (46%) of our donors are among the group of 18 to 29 years.

The recommendations to volunteer, even with the extended range, remain the same. Good health and weight over 50 pounds are the basic requirements.
Can not give people who have had hepatitis after 10 years of age, pregnant or lactating, drug users, people exposed to blood-borne diseases (AIDS, hepatitis, syphilis and Chagas' disease) or who had sexual intercourse with several partners in the last twelve months.

On the day of donation, not on an empty stomach, and have enjoyed a good night's sleep without drinking alcohol from 12 hours before.

Blaze, the laser safety for cyclists

2011-06-22T06:21:00.001-07:00

The design student Emily Brooke, University of Brighton, has developed a device that can give bikers the security they lacked.

Because of cars, buses and bikes, the bikes are less visible and less imposing in the chaotic traffic in urban centers. We did not want it that way, but the high rate of accidents has shown us that cyclists really need more security. So take a look at this laser projection:

The idea is simple and green laser announces "I'm going through." It was not meant to replace safety equipment and drivers polite and respectful, but it helps a lot in visibility.

To get to the final product, Emily talked to experts, psychologists and transit bus companies to develop light, visible also during the day. According to the student, 80% of accidents occur because drivers simply do not see cyclists.

Women and men are still viewed differently in the labor market

2011-06-22T06:18:00.000-07:00

Launched recently by the International Labour Organization (ILO), the report "Equality at work: a continuing challenge" gives an overview of very important issues and world to achieve equality in the market.

On the positive side, the world became more aware of the need to overcome discrimination, there is more legislation and institutional initiatives. However, the prolonged economic crisis exposed structural weaknesses in combat.

The United Nations said the minister Iriny Lopes, the Special Secretariat for Policies for Women, was one of the representatives of the Brazilian government during the 100th International Labour Conference, in which event the report was discussed.

Iriny took the opportunity to draw attention to the opportunity to approve the Convention / Recommendation on Home Work, believes it is still characterized by insecurity.

"(...) The category of domestic workers accounted for 15.8% of total national employment of women in 2008, which corresponds, in numerical terms, the 6.2 million women."

Regarding gender equality, the data show that there are 829 million women in poverty around the world, while the equivalent figure in the case of men, is 522 million.

Among them the salaries match, on average, 70-90% of men's wages. Overall (including not only the difference between the sexes) the main area of concern in the report is that of access to employment.

The International Labour Conference, which this year celebrates its centenary is held every year during the month of June.

Combination of diet foods

2011-06-22T06:13:00.000-07:00

No matter the quantity or quality, what matters is the combination of foods.

For Dr. Herbert, what matters is not the quantity but the combination, because when the combination does not happen, several toxins are produced by fermentation processes, caused problems in metabolism leading to obesity.

Foods that are allowed:
All foods are allowed. The secret is to combine.

Forbidden foods:
The restriction is the mixture of foods. This diet does not allow the intake of acidic foods with carbohydrates. So you, for example, may not take an orange juice and eat bread.

Advantage: not just for weight loss. The help lies in the detoxification of the body, improving the functioning of our digestive tract.

Disadvantage: the philosophy of this diet does not fit with anything but our eating habits.

Lazy weekend does not compensate for sleepless nights

2011-06-22T06:12:00.000-07:00

After weeks of intense work, you must think that the bed on Saturday will help to catch up on sleep. But scientists did a study to show that this really does not.

The great thing is that this habit improves sleepiness but does not bring back the performance deteriorated by regular sleep restricted to six hours per night. By spending time lying down, it can feel a little more lucid, but still is slow.

The researcher Alexandros Vgontzas, sleep expert and professor of psychiatry, monitored young men and women who have spent 13 consecutive nights in his laboratory.

They slept eight hours in the first four nights. After sleeping hours were reduced to six for six nights. Then, three nights of "recovery" with ten hours of sleep.

The usual practice of extending sleep during the weekend after a week of work associated with loss of sleep is not enough to reverse the cumulative effects on cognitive function resulting from this deprivation.

But there is some good news - at least for men. Research shows that they are less able to cope with lack of sleep than they - meaning that if anyone deserves a slow weekend, they are.

Vgontzas added that women in deep sleep seemed to have a protective effect, and females cope better with the sleepless nights. Other research also published in the Daily Mail revealed that the difficulty for a woman to sleep can be bad for marriage. Husbands with insomnia, however, does not have the same negative effect on marital happiness.

Calories from some kinds of chocolates

2011-06-22T06:10:00.001-07:00

The Passover is over, but many people still have to finish eating chocolates.

The amount of calories in a 30 g piece of chocolate varies from 120 to 180 calories, while the average is 160 calories.
We can eat a piece (30 g daily) that we are not exaggerating. He is healthy, especially the kind bitter and bittersweet, because they have more cocoa (increases satiety and eat less), less sugar (less fattening) and more antioxidants (which helps prevent aging).

We will see below the average calories of some types of chocolate (30 g portion):

- Dark chocolate (30 g portion) = 155 calories
- Milk chocolate (30 g portion) = 165 calories
- Light milk chocolate (30 g portion) = 140 calories
- Milk chocolate diet (30 g portion) = 150 calories
- White Chocolate (30 g portion) = 170 calories
- Sweet dream waltz (30 g portion) = 160 calories
- Bis chocolate (30 g portion) = 160 calories
- Chocolate talent (30 g portion) = 160 calories
- Lancy (30 g portion) = 160 calories
- White lipstick (30 g portion) = 170 calories
- Black lipstick (30 g portion) = 160 calories
- Sweet choquito (2 chocolates that are equivalent to 28 g) = 128 calories
- Prestige chocolate (2 chocolates that are equivalent to 28 g) = 128 calories
- Galak candy (3 chocolates that are equivalent to 30 g) = 174 calories
- Milk chocolate girl (3 chocolates that are equivalent to 30 g) = 174 calories

Few people knows the MPS Disease

2011-06-22T06:09:00.000-07:00

The MPS is an abbreviation of mucopolysaccharidosis, a rare hereditary metabolic disease. It means that a person is born with a lack or reduction of enzymes that digest the glycosaminoglycans, formerly called mucopolysaccharides.

Because it is unknown even among health professionals, the proper assessment to be made immediately or who need the treatment takes to receive it.
The diagnosis is usually done by a geneticist, after referral by another physician. To confirm the disease, carried out a blood test to identify the absence or reduction of enzymes.

Treatment involves a team with many professionals, because the disease affects multiple organs. The ideal is to look for centers that care for genetic diseases. Currently there are seven known types of MPS.

Types of MPS
MPS I - Hurler syndrome / Hurler-Scheie / Scheie
MPS II - Hunter Syndrome
MPS III - Sanfilippo Syndrome
MPS IV - Morquio syndrome
MPS VI - Maroteaux-Lamy Syndrome
MPS VII - Sly Syndrome
There is only treatment for types 1, 2 and 6, done by enzyme replacement therapy indefinitely. In Brazil, enrolled 520 patients, one of the highest population of MPS in the world.

All information was collected through the Edward Prosper, 21, who is a carrier of MPS type VI. Dudu blog owner and friends, he seeks to disseminate information to save lives and has been a source of hope for many people.
From mother to mother - What a mother should do so he discovers that the child is MPS?

If the type of treatment has diagnosed MPS (I, II or VI) and the child is an indication of it, should immediately contact us (www.apmps.org.br). If the place where she has lived association will forward it. If not, we will get guidance on how the medication, which must be subsidized by the federal government. Unfortunately, the high cost, no family would buy Brazil - Regina tells Prospero, Dudu's mother.

Cost of the drug and possible inclusion in the SUS
When Regina speaks in high-cost medicine, it refers to a cost about 50 thousand per month, noting that depends on the patient's weight, since the medication is calculated per ml / kg.

But they suffer from constant lack of dispensation and even have patients who have been three months without pay. Sometimes the government provides for one month and two months is not available. Because treatment is continuous, committed to improving the range already achieved.

This year, they've had three major flaws in the receipt, the last general - had no medicine to anyone.

Applications abound and date back to 2003, when no estimate for when the situation normalizes. But thanks to the Internet, you can help them to have guaranteed access to the medicine. How?

1. I Want to Live The Institute must obtain signatures to include drugs for treatment of MPSS on the list of high cost of the Unified Health System (SUS).
2. So far 11,564 people have signed, but we need 1 million signatures.

The right time to remove diapers of Babies

2011-06-09T18:48:00.000-07:00

A method for the removal of babies' diapers, widespread in the U.S. begins to be discussed now. This is the "elimination communication" (elimination communication), and which consists of observing the signs and sounds that the baby sends whenever you feel like doing your needs.

Based on these signs, parents carry the baby (in months) for a potty for him to make their needs and thus no longer conditional to make the diapers.

Although the U.S. already exists to a non-governmental organization called Diaper Free Baby (baby diaper-free, in English) that assists parents in technique, pediatricians Renan Sylvio Monteiro de Barros, MBA Pediatrics, questions and quite say why.

He says the technique, besides being impractical and practice today, is not consistent with the development of babies, which only begin to have neurological control of their physiological needs from 18 months.

What does the Diaper Free Baby on the subject? "Based on the evidence of human history, it is unlikely that the natural age at which infants are ready to become actively involved with the needs of elimination is as late as currently practiced in our society. Sole reliance on diapers during the first year of a child's life can influence your ability to control his bladder and bowels. "

For the pediatrician Sylvio Renan, "this anticipation of the withdrawal of the diaper by conditioning has little chance of a result, besides power and the frustration of parents before a likely failure, constipation cause a psychological origin. By that logic, there are parents that affect the child but the baby that affects parents to take him to the toilet whenever you want to poop or pee. "
Another important point is related to affection and care of the little ones. "Everything has its moment and right time to happen, especially in childhood. Practicing this technique would cause the child jumped a stage of life, besides losing this moment of affection and close contact with parents provided when changing the diaper, "he concludes.

New parents
The doubt remains about what the right age to remove the diaper and how many units on average are needed per day. Although some may ripen earlier or later, "the child has neurological maturation that allows you to manage the control of the sphincter between 2 and 3 years old," says the pediatrician.
And that explains a little baby (1st half of life) consumes an average of 9 pads a day - which gradually decreases with age, reaching 3 to 4 diapers per day for the second year of life.

Training before the maturity of the child or even when the child is already prepared for this, if poorly executed, can lead to deviations from normality, such as nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting) or constipation (constipation).

Bedwetting
Sylvio Renan explains that until 5 years old, is perfectly normal to pee in bed. "Above this age we need to establish parameters for evaluation. If the child has always wet the bed, only lose urine during sleep and no other symptoms, we should not worry. Otherwise, investigations should be performed to establish the cause of the phenomenon. "

See the curiosities displayed by the pediatrician:

• From 5 years of age, each year 15% of children who wet the bed no longer do so voluntarily;

• At 5 years, 15 to 20% of children wet the bed at age 10 while only 5% do;

• The number drops to 1-2% at 15 years of age.

Do not forget that, according to recent polls, about 0.3% of adults have no apparent cause bedwetting.

In a population of nearly 8 billion people, this number will reach the incredible figure of 24 million adults with nocturnal enuresis, without causing disease.
Respect the child's development is essential for healthy growth. It remained a question? Do not stop commenting.

Innovation in the Fight Against Glaucoma

2011-06-09T18:46:00.000-07:00

Despite the chronic disease is silent and has no cure, in most cases can be controlled with proper treatment and ongoing - and success in combat is directly linked to early diagnosis.

The initial clinical therapy is done with eye drops that stabilize the intraocular pressure. If the drug becomes ineffective, the patient is a candidate for glaucoma surgery.
Let the new implant
Called Ex-PRESS and produced by Alcon, the product has passed the Anvisa and from July will be available in Brazil. The United States, Canada and European Union already have the method.

The device, about the size of a grain of rice, is implanted near the iris in order to drain excess fluid that can impair vision.
Enables better and more predictable surgical outcome when compared to traditional surgery for glaucoma (trabeculectomy), performed in patients who do not respond to topical medications.

The disease has no symptoms and is progressive, so most patients find that has the disease when vision loss is now inevitable, warns Dr. John Anthony Prata Jr., president of the Brazilian Society of Glaucoma (SBG).
Prevalence

The disease is disclosed by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the leading cause of irreversible blindness, affects about 70 million people worldwide - about 3 million U.S..

In Brazil, where about 1 million people with glaucoma, it is estimated that more than half of patients do not know who has the disease.

The main risk factors are:
- Family history
- Elevated intraocular pressure
- Age over 50 years
- Diabetes mellitus
- Prolonged use of corticosteroids
- Presence of ocular lesions
- African descent

Varicose veins: a problem Beyond Aesthetics

2011-06-09T18:43:00.000-07:00

There are unique situations that make women more vulnerable to some vascular diseases. They are: pregnancy, contraceptive use, and hormone replacement during menopause.

Who is Manuel explains Julio Cota, president of the Brazilian Society of Angiology and Vascular Surgery - Regional Rio de Janeiro (RJ-SBACV).

The female dissatisfaction with varicose veins in the legs is surely the most important factor that contributes to the office visit of Angiology and vascular surgeons.
The vast majority seeks medical support to get rid of spider veins dilated and tortuous that compromise the beauty of the thighs and calves.

"There is no problem with wanting to look pretty, but the woman must understand that the issue goes beyond the aesthetic factor. Taking care of varicose veins is health care. This is because the neglect of treatment may lead to the development of complications such as phlebitis, venous thrombosis, skin changes, pigmentation, eczema and leg ulcers, "says Manuel Julio.

High heels should be reserved for special situations
For most women, one of the highest expressions of femininity is, without doubt, the high jump. At this point, some tend to abuse the use of high heels and thin. However, this habit can be very detrimental to vascular health.
Although there are no conclusive studies on the relationship between varicose veins and wearing shoes with heels, it is known that the natural walking (one that provides the correct contraction of the calf, ensuring that the blood from the legs to be pumped efficiently back to the heart) is compromised by the jump.

The blood flow of lower limb suffers the consequences and there may be blood clots or thrombi. "The continuous use of very high heels is negative. Therefore, women should wear heels of at most three or four inches on a daily basis. Stiletto heels should be saved for a special occasion, the president directs SBACV-RJ.

Female hormones
Some vascular diseases are directly related to female hormones. There are many changes in the amount of hormones during a woman's life, for example, during pregnancy and menopause.

The very use of contraceptive pills is indicated as a factor that influences the development of diseases of the circulatory system, such as varicose veins. All oral and injectable contraceptives are hormonal.
These hormones act in the venous wall, weakening and stretching, and in patients predisposed to varicose veins, makes the situation worse. Women with a family history of thrombosis should take extra caution when they use oral contraceptives because they favor thrombosis. It is recommended to stay in touch and visit regularly angiologist.

Pregnancy & Vascular Health
During pregnancy, there is the natural increase in blood circulation through the body mostly in the pelvic region, which overloads the venous system. Moreover, levels of progesterone and estrogen, a hormone that dilates veins, also rises, contributing to varicose veins.

Another typical situation of pregnancy is the uterus growing month after month, leading to compression of the veins of the abdomen and pelvic region. This framework is an obstacle for the blood to rise from the legs back to the heart.
Therefore, Julio Manuel gives tips for pregnant women to avoid the much dreaded varicose veins. "But exercise light and enjoyable as walking, is great for pregnant women. In most cases, the use of elastic stockings may be indicated, especially in the final months of pregnancy. Another tip is to stand with legs elevated and sleep facing the left side to reduce compression of the vena cava, which facilitates the return of blood, "concluded the president SBACV-RJ.
Anyway, as each pregnancy is unique, every pregnant woman should seek your physician to receive appropriate guidelines.

---> The varicose veins as a major factor in the matter of heredity. This means that people with a history of this disease in the family have many chances to develop the problem, even if they have a healthy lifestyle.
Still, one should avoid risk factors to minimize the problem: physical inactivity, obesity and smoking. Other factors like advancing age, for example, also contribute to the emergence of the problem.

What your dentist can only see

2011-06-09T18:41:00.000-07:00

After a dentist from Chicago, USA, announce that you can get a cavity of another person, this is one more reason for you to visit the dentist regularly.

The recommendation is that the dentist is made twice a year. Because some oral problems take time to come the annoyances, this is the time interval between queries so that the professional can intervene quickly, hardly any problem is diagnosed.

Cavities are caused by bacteria that adhere to teeth and enjoy what's left of his last meal, one consequence is degeneration of the teeth.

Children are more vulnerable to the problem, it is true, and studies show that most of them contracted the bacteria from people nearby, for example when the mother decides to try the baby food, explains the dentist of Chicago, Margaret Mitchell, The New York Times. Studies also indicate transmission between couples.

The recommendations are those basic, frequent use of proper brushing and flossing. Because cavities can be transmitted person to person, worth having to be more careful with their oral health.

Finally, optical illusions to show things that only your dentist can see in a campaign of the Dental Association of Canada (Canadian Dental Association), created by DDB in Vancouver.

After all, mobile phone use increases the risk of cancer?

2011-06-09T18:40:00.000-07:00

After evaluation of scientists, the World Health Organization has placed the devices in the list of "possibly carcinogenic agents."

This is the third group established by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC):

Group 1 - includes agents that are proven carcinogens;

Group 2A - probably carcinogenic agents are;

Group 2B - possibly carcinogenic agents (group phones included).

That means there is likely a relationship, but more studies are needed. The problem lies in the radiofrequency electromagnetic fields, which may increase the risk of having a malignant type of brain cancer, associated with cell phone use in the long term.

A few years have studied the possibility of harmful effects from exposure to these electromagnetic fields. Worldwide, an estimated 5 billion people there are users of the mobile device.

In May, a team of 31 scientists from 14 countries evaluated the potential carcinogen in question involving this type of radiation. They also evaluated the occupational exposure to microwave and environmental risks of transmission of radio signals, television and wireless telecommunications.

Results
The evidence was reviewed and generally assessed as being limited to cell phone users. The evidence related to occupational and environmental risks are not proven.
The researchers did not quantify the risk, however, a study on the use of cell phone a little earlier (2004), showed a 40% increased risk of glioma, a type of brain tumor, among users who used the phone on average 30 minutes per day after 10 years.
It is difficult to establish the relationship of cause and effect on radiation from mobile phone, since the characteristics of the health risk of exposure require years before it can consider the consequences.

Radiation from cell type is non-ionizing, unlike a machine that emits X-rays (ionizing), for example.

Conclusions
"Given the potential consequences to public health of this classification and its results," said IARC director Christopher Wild, "it is important that further research be conducted on the intensive use of cell phones in the long term."

A summary report that summarizes the main conclusions and assessments of carcinogenic risk from radiofrequency electromagnetic fields will be published in The Lancet Oncology, in issue 01 of July, and in a few days, will be available online.

What is Triglycerides

2011-05-31T12:14:00.001-07:00

One can say that triglyceride is a fat storage in the body produced by excess food intake, either as carbohydrates or fats. Is deposited in adipose tissue, serving as insulation and shock absorber and fuel is also used in cases of fasting or exercise.

Over the years it will form a layer of fat around the artery and if the person happened to be careful not total obstruction of the arteries by age 40.

Ideal Level

Triglyceride levels should be below 150 mg / dl (milligrams per deciliter). The increase may lead to risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

Not to exceed the rates, we recommend a diet based on fruits, vegetables and legumes; avoiding eating too much carbohydrate (sugar, honey, pies, ice cream, jelly, confectionery), too much fat (bacon, coconut, mayonnaise, chocolate, poultry skin, fatty meats) to control the intake of rice, pasta, bread, potatoes, cassava, wheat, corn and soft drinks in general.

NOTE: The rates much lower triglycerides should only worry when associated or combined with other nutritional deficiencies, but this is rare. The cases of excess is that merit attention.

Pepper to prevent disease

Because antioxidant-rich flavonoids and vitamin C, peppers can also reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as prostate cancer, cataracts, diabetes and Alzheimer's. it is able to clean the blood by removing toxic substances coming from food and pollution. And more! Recent research has shown that even the pepper has anticancer properties. An editorial in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute of the United States showed that capsaicin may make cancer cells self-destruct.

Pepper for Weight Loss

The pepper can make you lose weight really, really! This is because it helps decrease appetite and reduce those urges for sweets and gimmick and, therefore, very useful in the treatment of obesity. There's a spice sauce? Scientific research also showed that the use of red pepper with meals provides an increased release noradrenaline and adrenaline in the nervous system. Thus, there is a decrease in appetite and calorie intake. Moreover, pepper speeds up metabolism and thereby causes them to burn more calories. This is because capsaicinoid, substances that are responsible for burning the food, raise their body temperature. And for the body to keep it at about 36.5 degrees (considered the normal temperature), the body expends energy. Therefore we call the capsaicinoid of thermogenic.

Pepper to aid in digestion

Substances spicy peppers (capsaicin and piperine) also improve digestion, because:

- stimulate the stomach secretions;
- Have an anti-flatulence;
- Stimulate circulation in the stomach;
- It promotes the healing of sores (ulcers).

Tryptophan and carbohydrates humorous

Of the various neurotransmitters, serotonin plays a major role in mood. She is also known as substance "magic" and "sedative" that improves mood in general, especially in people with depression.

Network diagnosis of infarction

2011-05-17T16:24:00.000-07:00

The Ministry of Health of the Health Department decided to deploy a network to identify the distance, patients with acute coronary syndrome to hospital emergency departments and the State.

The Central Hospital Dante Pazzanese will be responsible for reviewing examinations of patients arriving in emergency rooms with chest pains. This is only possible through an integrated system diagnostics and technology.

See how it is done
The system, known as Point of Care Test (POCT) is considered the most modern to check levels of troponin, an important marker of necrosis (death of tissue or a portion thereof) for diagnosing unstable angina or myocardial infarction.

Trend in the global diagnosis, the POCT works as a portable test laboratory and has the same size as a credit card machine. In place of the magnetic reader, there is a disposable cartridge to be inserted into the blood sample.

Another advantage is the amount of sample: for just a finger prick, it is possible to get enough blood to check the level of troponin. Agility in the result by means of these tests (10 minutes to the value of troponin), is another distinguishing factor to be considered.
Procedure

The patient undergoes an electrocardiogram test, combined with clinical data, indicating a possible acute myocardial infarction.
The test is passed, along with the ECG by cell phone signal Dante Pazzanese to hospital, where cardiologists on duty make the diagnosis.
The idea is that all hospitals in the state schools to achieve the rates of detection of global patterns of infarcts that today the Dante Pazzanese already has, according to Ricardo Tardelli, state coordinator of Health

On the tele-ECG
We use the cell phone signal to direct the examination to the Central Reports and sent to the requesting unit, at an average of 20 minutes.

The tele-ECG service has a specialized team of 14 cardiologists and remains in full operation 24 hours a day, year round, which eliminates distances and permits a faster and more accurate diagnosis.

Across the state are already 75 hospitals, clinics and integrated health posts to the Central Reports of the Institute Dante Pazzanese. In 2010, more than 170 000 examinations were performed by this system.

How to overcome fear of flying?

2011-05-17T16:21:00.000-07:00

Fear of flying by a large proportion of the population can disrupt both the family leisure as professional life.

Not talking about the normal anxiety before the trip, but on one that prevents people from going. Anyway, you can reverse the situation.

Psychologist Julio Peres gives tips on how to overcome fear of flying. "We are not hostages to our emotional brain and we can change this state of fear, as evidenced in our neuroimaging studies (Psychological Medicine, 2007, Journal of Psychiatric Research, 2010) that demonstrated the effects of neurobiological resilience during psychotherapy."

Internal dialogue (the way we process the events) can generate the neurochemistry of the health or suffering. The psyche is very agile, but need guidance to work in our favor.

1. What differentiates the fear of flying a phobia?
Fear of flying usually does not prevent the individual from making his trips, despite the discomfort. However, fear can sometimes develop into a phobia, which is considered an anxiety disorder, whose cause is multifactorial.
Genetic, neurochemical, sociocultural, personality type and life events such as psychological trauma are involved in the onset of phobias.

2. As this phobia can affect who owns and disturb the routine?
People with the phobia wear with suffering greatly during his travels routinely aborting sometimes professional prosperity. Many people seek the treatment of phobia of flying when they realize they are hurting themselves with the abuse of alcohol or tranquilizers, or the family, private travel.

3. Why despite figures and research show that the plane is one of the safest cars, people still have much fear of flying?

Phobias usually develop by subjective emotional processing that are not necessarily rational. We all have the ability to generalize, and without it would not survive.

We've met many challenges in childhood, adolescence and adulthood, like sleeping in a room separate from parents, making tough tests in school, learning to ride a bike or drive to confront an unknown situation, etc.. The faculty of generalization enables the construction of associative learning during the development (for example, if I could climb one rung of the ladder, I will get up the second, and overcome other challenges like).

The same generalization operates in phobias arising from events in which the individual has experienced significant fear, as a system that aims to preserve survival. In this sense the emotions overlap reason and limbic areas that are most active areas involved in the process of rationalization.

As already stated, we are not hostage to our emotional brain and we can change this state of fear. Studies have shown the effects of neurobiological resilience during psychotherapy. The psyche is very agile, but need guidance to work in our favor.

4. What influence the great tragedies with airplanes have on people's fears?
The influence of the news about the great tragedies with aircraft may be significant because the perception of information we are getting immensely projective, ie the functioning of the brain allows us to see or understand what we know and believe is possible, and so we tend to identify with what we perceive.

In other words, our perception of the world seeks a reflection in the mirror of our memories. We've been conditioned to believe that the external world is more real than the internal. Contemporary studies suggest other perspectives. What happens is that within us will create what "happens outside" in our relations with the world. People with previous experience of fear related to death, and many of us have them, can condense the information to their own repertoire of tragedies and exacerbate the fear of dying.

Mirror neurons were discovered recently by Neuroscience, participate actively in this process when we experience empathy, we recognize the references to other individuals and to merge our experiences, favoring the generation of behaviors similar to those observed. However, the great tragedies do not affect everyone and the gap is to identify or not with the observed event.

5. Is there any relation between memory and fear?
The memory has the curious phenomenon of state-dependency, that is, we remind ourselves of experience with the presentation of "tips" line with those learnings. So often during a meal in a restaurant, other restaurants and meals are remembered. When you feel a particular perfume, like a cake that her grandmother did in childhood, the memories of that period have surfaced.

The same is true, but more intensely, with traumatized individuals, places, circumstances, feelings etc.. Associated with the trauma can trigger the memory of the event and alert mechanisms as if the traumatic event were happening or about to happen.

Often, these tips become distant from what actually occurred and, even then, with subjective and generalization and unconscious memories of trauma are triggered.

An example
During psychotherapy observed that a patient had suffered a traumatic fall from the wall of his home at age 12 with fractures and painful two months of hospitalization. A similar feeling of "butterflies" was tested at age 17 during a flight and danger of unwittingly association was established with air travel.

Ask the patient to build a new association with what he called butterflies, nice now, through increasingly high heels and a fun trampoline training.

Then the patient joked with his wife and son in roller coasters and little by little, the "butterflies" was associated with the well-being and fun. In addition to overcoming your fear of flying, now aged 42 he has fun in times of turbulence on flights with "goose bumps". Often, phobic people who do not locate the memory of the triggering event.

The identification of such associative processes during psychotherapy is not always immediate, especially when memories are involved complex covering other memories and therefore other associative networks.

6. You can learn to be brave and to overcome fear of flying?
The dialogue between fear and courage is present in many artistic expressions like paintings, sculptures and literary pieces, which depict assertively coexistence between these two apparent polarities. Despite the belief that one excludes the other condition prevail over common sense, courage involves many aspects and is not a closed package, as well as fear.

In practice, if you are afraid, that does not mean you do not have the courage, or vice versa. Courage has its root in the meaning "act of the heart." I consider that to be courageous includes accountability and integrity in line for the development and personal prosperity, involves being aware of threats and solve problems using insight and capabilities to meet the personal needs and also the surroundings. Courage without fear can be disastrous and unsuccessful.
Therefore, the learning and cultivation of courage can occur from the gradual control of the variables fearful of real knowledge of personal motives and reasons to face adversity. The knowledge, prudence, patience and the courage to confront successful acts are important predictors of heart, or courage.

7. When you need to seek treatment?
Must resort to psychotherapy when the suffering is significant enough to limit daily life, or cause other problems in the family and / or professional.

8. How psychotherapy can help?
The fear of flying may have different origins. We need to investigate the root of fear, so that the therapeutic process is effective.

Psychotherapy seeks to dissect and to work the established associations between traumatic events and their belief systems that generate the phobic behaviors. The therapeutic effects can be largely as a result of "learning of extinction," establishing new, healthy responses to the stimulus that caused by fear.

Psychotherapy can promote learning and new associations that reflect, often to extinction. Therapies based on exposure (imaginal and in vivo) are aligned to the same principles. Fernando Sabino poetically teaches us what is the learning of extinction: Let's break a new path ... In the fall, a dance step ... the fear, the dream ... a ladder, a bridge ... The demand for a meeting.

9. Got any tips for those who are afraid of, but need to fly?
The autoinduction of relaxation with a focus on quiet breathing supported by thoughts of resilience (eg, I feel safe and secure. All is well now, and so on) also helps. The explanation is simple: when hyperventilates (panting, anxious) provoked changes in oxygen in the bloodstream, promoting progressive mental confusion, and as a result, enhancement of fear.

On the other hand, when we keep quiet breathing feel more secure, confident and in control preserved. I also emphasize that we build on what we have and not what we lack, and therefore the therapeutic process involves the recovery of memories of resilience and self-efficacy.
A good tip is to rescue the repertoire of victories (victories in field goals of family, work, school, sports, etc.). In other periods of life. Such memories can mobilize new associations to strengthen self-image courageous and victorious.

Example of a strengthening
As a patient overcome the fear of darkness in childhood and the same strategy helped him overcome the fear of flying.

Step 1: "I faced the dark walkthrough, lighting and extinguishing the light in my room. I convinced myself that my room was still in order when they turned off the light, until I got to sleep in the dark feeling that everything was fine. "

Step 2: Apply in other situations. The patient did the same to overcome fear of flying. He faced the airport, short flights without tranquilizers and was gradually getting exposed to longer flights until he was convinced that everything was fine.

We call this process of desensitization (remove the sensitivity). This method favors the gradual decrease in hypersensitivity to an existing condition phobic through smooth, continuous exposure, which allows the patient to strengthen the perception of control and victory over self.

Finally, the most inspiring words of Julio: "In practice, if you are afraid, that does not mean you do not have the courage, or vice versa."

Danger of Drug Oxi

2011-05-17T16:17:00.000-07:00

If you do not know the drug oxi, should hear about it in the near future. Coming from Bolivia and Peru, the drug entered the Acre in Brazil and has spread across the country.

The crack and oxygen are very similar, which may confound both those who perceive the drugs as those who consume it. But the new drug is more potent, more dangerous, more lethal and less expensive than the crack, which is highly detrimental.

The name comes from the abbreviation of oxidized, since the base substance (cocaine paste) passes through the oxidation process. The final mixture contains kerosene or petrol, lime and potassium permanganate.

Earlier this month, the police Denarc (Department of Narcotics in São Paulo) seized 60 kg cracolândia the center of the Capital, as reported by Folha de S. Paul. The stone of oxygen has been sold at R $ 2 reais, four times cheaper than crack.

Disclosure
X-ray drug
- The name comes from oxidized
- Mixture of cocaine base, kerosene or petrol, lime and potassium permanganate
- It is more lethal than crack
- Just like crack, oxygen is a stone smoked in a pipe
- The drug came from Bolivia and Peru and migrated to other areas
- It's more powerful, cheaper, more lethal and more dangerous than crack
- The secondary has the power dependency on first use

Users have headaches, abdominal pain, diarrhea and constant vomiting. At least 30% of users will eventually die of oxygen per year, according to the Denarc.

Crack Effects and Oxi
The hallucinogenic effects are caused by the same crack. Both drugs increase the chances of heart attack and undermine the long term, the respiratory system. The Oxo is still harmful to the liver and kidneys to contain the gasoline composition. The effects are devastating: memory, concentration and self control are also affected.

Ophthalmic migraine, visual disturbances may indicate another problem

2011-05-17T16:14:00.000-07:00

The headache is one of the main complaints in ophthalmologic practice, but there are cases where the doctor is sought to be a neurologist.

Changes in vision followed by severe headache, nausea, malaise, intolerance to loud noise and sleepiness are symptoms of a disease that affects about 1% of the world: the ophthalmic migraine or retinal migraine, also known as visual aura, distinct from classic migraines by affecting vision and other senses.

The ophthalmologist Virgilio Centurion, director of the Institute of Eye Diseases (IMO), explains: "Although called ophthalmic migraine, neurological disease originates. This is a fast disorder, intermittent and reversible cerebral circulation, which precedes the onset of headache crises. "

There are several triggers for crises, according to Virgilio. Menstrual period, starvation, contraceptive use, sleep disorders, stress, consumption of fried food, coffee, chocolate and alcohol problems in the cervical and disorders of the TMJ (Temporo Mandibular Joint).

Since the problem affects the vision first, patients resort to ophthalmologists for diagnosis. "After examination, when discounting the possibility of problems in the eyeball, we send these patients to a neurologist," says the director of the IMO.

Symptoms
It is for this reason that the diagnosis of ophthalmic migraine is so commonly done by the ophthalmologist.

"As the patient usually inform the perception of light (as a zig-zag), the loss of half the visual field (recovered over the crisis), severe headache (more than one side, called a" migraine "), and photophobia been nauseous all at the same time, he fears losing his eyesight, which may occur temporarily, with some people," he explains.

The pain of migraine ophthalmic may also manifest itself in one or both eyes. Both eyes, as above, below and around them. This pain may be throbbing and / or weight or pressure, and its intensity can vary from very mild to very strong.
In a very small portion of patients with migraine, the upper eyelid of one eye (the same side of pain) may fall partially.

"This phenomenon is known as ptosis and occurs during painful crisis. After the crisis, the eyelid returns to normal. This form of headache is called migraine Ophthalmoplegic, "says ophthalmologist.
Treatment

Over time, the visual symptoms preceding the migraine attack alert us to refer the patient to the appropriate diagnosis and not just the use of medication to relieve pain.

"Why is this so important to continue the treatment. Headache is a very complex disease that is the subject of comprehensive study of various specialists, neurologists, ophthalmologists, psychologists, clinical ... Now there are even clinics and hospitals dedicated exclusively to the headache, "said Virgilio Centurion.
And if the headache is caused by vision problems?

"The headache is caused by refractive vision problems such as hyperopia, myopia and astigmatism, usually begins after a period of eyestrain. The patient wakes up fine, but during the day or the end of the school or work, the headaches begin. This type of abuse is called asthenopia.
Usually, this problem tends to disappear after the use of prescription glasses or contact lenses, ophthalmologist tells the Eduardo de Lucca, who is also part of the clinical staff IMO.

Other eye diseases can also cause headache, such as strabismus, convergence insufficiency, uveitis and acute glaucoma, says Eduardo.
