Sunshine Day Trigger Skin Cancer

Sunlight in the morning is good for all ages. But note the time you and your family are exposed to direct sunlight. Children are exposed to the sun during the heat susceptible to skin cancer later in life.

Cancer experts say that children should be taught
protects skin from the sun early on, especially when in school. Recent research has found nearly 40 percent of students suffer from sunburn while at school.

As reported by the Daily Mail, nearly half of parents of 1,000 parents reported that their children burned by the sun while at school. Child's skin is very sensitive to sunlight. This makes them vulnerable to skin cancer later in life.

Richard Clifford, an alliance member of the UK Skin Cancer charity (Scuk), said that children who are too often exposed to sunlight will get a lot of health problems later in life. "It's important for them to use sunscreen and sunblock to reduce the risk."

According to him, is very important for the school to take the role. Teachers should remind their students to not only use sunblock but also use a hat when outside the room.

Although only half of parents who reported it, 45
percent of them do not worry about this disease. In fact, cancer
malignant skin such as malignant melanoma has killed two thousand people
every year.

"Sunstroke on a child's skin can double the risk of skin cancer in the future," said Dr. Andrew Wright, consultant dermatologist at St Luke's Hospital, Bradford.

In Indonesia alone, patients with skin cancer is increasing from year to year. The sun's ultraviolet rays are responsible for damage to skin cells and trigger the development of cancer occurs in the long term.

Although the Indonesian people benefited by having brown-black pigment that protects skin from ultraviolet rays, the sun burned continually will certainly increase the risk of skin cancer, especially for children.

However, that does not mean the child should be completely protected from the sun because at certain hours, such as in the morning, the sun is very good for growing children. Morning sunlight can stimulate the skin to produce vitamin D important for bone health, immune system.

At the time span of 10 am and 4 pm, children are encouraged to
protected from sunlight. Because, on timescales tersebutlah

Heat Lowering Drugs Increase Risk of Cancer

Muscle pain reliever and fever and joint pain commonly consumed during a fever or when a cold. Be careful, because the use of pain medication on a regular basis increases the risk of blood cancers.

According to researchers, the chemicals in the drug acetaminophen for fever associated with some types of cancer. Similar research on the type of drug aspirin found that these drugs reduce death from colon cancer but increases risk of bleeding and ulcers. However, this does not explain the relation with blood, or cancer.

This discovery adds to the evidence associated with cancer and these painkillers. The researchers examined nearly 65 thousand parents and women in Washington. In the early stages, they were related to the use of pain relievers during the past 10 years and ensure they do not have cancer.

Lapse of six years, there are cancer cells in the blood of 577 people. These include cancer of white blood cancers and myelodysplastic syndrome or syndrome preleukimia. More than 9 percent of respondents who have cancer is a consumer pain medication in a high level.

The study also factors into consideration age, arthritis and blood cancer in the family history. Users analgesics have a risk two-fold higher than those who do not eat them.

"Our study shows that if you use a pain reliever at least four times a week for at least four years, then there will be an increased risk of around two percent," said Emily White of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, was quoted by the Daily Mail.

But the study results been rejected by other experts. Dr. Raymond DuBois, and MD Anderson. Cancer prevention expert at the University of Texas Cancer Center in Houston, said that the pain reliever works very differently than other painkillers that have different effects on cancer.

"It is surprising that the use of relievers increase the risk of blood cancers," said DuBois.

White said that the long-term use of each drug must have a certain risk. Therefore, he always recommends consumers to know the side effects of each drug.

White added that the study is still in its early stages so there is no strong evidence of acetaminophen and aspirin can cause cancer.

Previous studies have linked acetaminophen with asthma and eczema. But scientists still disagree whether the drug is the actual cause or there are other factors.

This study had the same problem with previous studies because many people use these drugs may have had other medical treatments that have side effects increase the risk of cancer.

The Powerful Antibiotic treatment

A cup of coffee or tea without sugar will taste bland for the audience. However, this sweetener did have other benefits. Recent studies have found that a combination of antibiotics and sugars increase the effectiveness of antibiotic treatment.

Laboratory tests showed glucose and fructose, a type of sugar from the plant to stimulate the body's resistance of bacteria to become more vulnerable to treatment.

Professor James Collins of Boston University, said, "Sugar does not reduce drug efficacy, but increase its performance," he said as quoted by the Telegraph.

Chronic and recurrent infections often occur when bacteria become metabolically active. Thus, bacteria resistant to the effects of antibiotic use.

Bacterial resistance often occurs every few weeks or months. Marked with a recurrence of the disease the patient becomes more severe than ever. Bacterial resistance are also potentially spread the infection to the kidneys and other organs.

From the test of the bacterium Escherichia coli (E. coli), a common cause of urinary tract infections, researchers were able to eradicate the persistent 99.9 percent of bacteria in two hours. On a combination of antibiotics and sugars, sweeteners serves as an active stimulant that makes the bacteria susceptible to antibiotic attack. While the use of antibiotics with no sugar, no effect at all.

The findings, published in the journal Nature reveals, antibiotic treatment with sugar also effectively eradicate the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, cause deadly gastrointestinal infection.

Prof. Collins is now planning to investigate whether the properties of sugar additives to improve the effectiveness of drugs tuberculosis (TB). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), TB is a chronic lung infections infectious cause of death about 4,700 people each day.

"Our goal is to increase the effectiveness of existing antibiotics. Rather than creating new drugs that require a long and expensive process," said another researcher, Kyle Allison.

He added that the findings could potentially improve the health of the infection and reduce health care costs.

Injecting cells can be Treat Pulmonary Disease

Some scientists believe have discovered stem cells (stem cells) in the lungs. These cells can create various types of organ tissues, thus opening the possibility of treatment for lung diseases like emphysema and others.

According to news agency Associated Press (AP), this discovery was published in the New England Journal of Medicine on Thursday, May 12, 2011. Scientists who conducted the study among others, Piero Anversa, Joseph Loscalzo, and their colleagues at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston.

In a telephone interview, Anversa says, it is unclear what stem cells are usually done by lung. But he revealed, lung stem cells involved in lung cells to replace lost another throughout life.

Using mice as an experiment, the scientists injected human cells into the body of the animal. After that the cells showed a versatile capabilities by establishing airways, air sacs and blood vessels within 10-14 days.

"We have a huge amount of regeneration, involving millions of new cells," says Anversa.

He also said that these cells may also be useful to build up the lungs after surgery of patients undergoing cancer that attacks the organ. However, it is unclear whether these cells can be used to treat asthma.

However, Loscalzo describes is still too early to directly ensure that the lung disease can be treated using the cells. He explains, researchers initially examined the emphysema and high blood pressure in the pulmonary artery or called pulmonary hypertension.

Emphysema itself is a progressive disease that destroys vital part of the lungs and leaving a large cavity that disrupt lung function.

Experts not involved in the research confirms that the findings must be confirmed by conducting further research. They are also considered, it is too early to promise about the treatment of lung diseases using the cell.

However they said the findings could be significant progress in the field is quite difficult in the study.

"This is a remarkable finding, and they have tremendous implications. But it should be redone in the same way," says Dr. Alan Fine of Boston University.

men and women are different expression

Anger is one of the basic human emotions. Even so, there are different ways of venting anger between the two gender, men and women. Different environments also assessing anger about men and women.

Experiments conducted by experts showed that both sexes have the same mechanism to express negative emotions. However, as published in the journal Science, show anger of men and women differently.

The result, women tend to feel ashamed to show their anger. While men think of something reasonable.

As quoted from Genius Beauty, specifically psychologists to prove that the angry man makes a strong impression on others. People consider a man who is angry as a person with an active style. Instead, the anger of a woman is defined as a bad-tempered.

Conclusions are based on a simple experiment. Both sexes are hired are required to superiors demanding higher wages. The volunteers were asked to evaluate their behavior.

The majority of respondents felt that the angry man represents firmness, strength, and determination. But the women who demanded a raise with a high voice called as a nuisance, can not control myself, hysterical and incompetent.

Musical Can Slow Aging Effects

Musical instruments played down the effects of aging especially related to hearing. A study in the United States reveals, those familiar with the instrument throughout his life has hearing ability and better memory than those who never touched a musical.

"Practicing music can prolong life, improve memory, and enhance the ability to hear speech in noise," says Nina Kraus, authors of the study which served as the Director of the Auditory Neuroscience Laboratory at Northwestern University, United States, as quoted by the Daily Mail.

In their study, researchers recruited 18 musicians and 19 non-musicians ages 45 to 65 years. They asked respondents to listen to speech in noisy atmosphere. They also conducted a series of tests such as tests of visual memory, voice recording capability, and ability to hear.

The musicians learned to play musical instruments at an early age or under nine years old and still active until now, managed to defeat the non-musicians in all tests. However, in tests of visual working memory capability, both groups showed almost identical ability.

Doctor Kraus said, the experience of extracting sound from a wide range of musical instruments and sound sequences considering increasing development of auditory skills. "Playing music involves their ability to retrieve relevant patterns, including their own voices, instruments, harmony, and rhythm."

Dr. Kraus said, practicing music can improve memory and auditory nervous system. "The experience of musical communication can combat the problems associated with age," he said, adding that the study published in the scientific journal PLoS One recent issue.

Strengthen these findings, other studies revealed that giving children music lessons can be a training to increase the concentration of learning in schools. Learning music can also reduce some negative effects of aging.
