Dangerous animals that his poison can be used for medicine

Some poisonous animals are considered dangerous to humans are often feared and shunned. But actually, the toxins from the animal could be beneficial for treating several human diseases, the origin is given in the right dose.

There are some medications that have been made ​​with basic ingredients from the deadly animal. Some other poisonous animals are also being studied to be sought the efficacy of her poison so that can be utilized for treating the disease.

These are some of the animals are:


1. Poisonous frogs

Poisonous frogs

Poisonous frogs secrete a neurotoxin is called batrachotoxin through his pores. This substance does not appear directly from the body, but rather from food eaten. Usually these toxins smeared into arrows for hunting and war.

However, the researchers believe toxic compounds in the frog could be used to treat heart attacks and potentially save lives. Batrachotoxin also potentially be used in anesthesia, however further research is still needed.

2. Scorpion

Scorpion

These animals use the poison to capture prey, dispels rivals during the breeding season and fight bigger predators. One stings alone can make people experiencing heart failure and lung damage.

Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham have found that scorpion toxins could potentially be used to treat brain cancer. When a medicine are made ​​from scorpion venom is injected to the brain cancer patients, poison destroys cancer cells and letting healthy cells.

 3. Shells clam cone

This clams have a unique colored shells with intricate patterns. These animals have organs resemble arm that equipped with sharp teeth and poisonous. This arm is used to immobilize and kill prey.

The shellfish poison it is called conotoxin. Turns studies have found these toxins could potentially be used as a paregoric that is not make addiction. In 2005, pharmaceutical companies in Ireland, has been marketing the painkillers made ​​of these toxins called Prialt.

 4. Viper snake

Viper snakes or outburst known to have poison which can be deadly. Unlike with the usual venom, viper venom works the way preventing blood clots. That is, these snakes kill prey with making it death with loss of blood because bleeding.

Thankfully the researchers have found that in small doses, viper venom can prevent hardening of the arterial blood vessel so that can stop blood clots that common experienced by cardiac patients.

 5. Venomous lizards

Venomous lizards

Venomous lizards native from Mexico and the Southern United States. Toxins from these animal seeping from the teeth to the wound his prey when biting. In humans, his poison can cause pain, nausea, swelling, dizziness and shiver.

It turns out studies found these toxins can stimulate insulin production and slowing the production of glucose or blood sugar. This effect is beneficial for diabetics. Amylin Pharmaceuticals and Eli Lilly is a company that uses poison of these lizard to make the type 2 diabetes medicine.

Recognize hepatitis type and his transmission

Hepatitis

Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver disease and is one of the health problems that occur in developing countries such as Indonesia. Lack of public awareness of self hygiene and the environment become cause of the occurrence disease is spread through bacteria and viruses.

"We've done various of activities including prevention, increase research, as well as cooperating with governments in several countries, but the most main is need for cooperation with the community. For that we conduct this seminar," said Prof. Dr. Tjandra Yoga Aditama as Director General of Disease Control and Environmental Health (DG P2PL) Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia.

In commemorating the 4th year of world hepatitis day, held seminars for increase the introduction of hepatitis in the community.

This seminar with the theme is 'Care for Hepatitis' Know, Prevent, and Treat is housed in the room building mena Prof J Adyatma MoH Block C 2nd floor, Jl HR Rasuna Said Kav Block X.5. 4-9 brass, Jakarta on Monday (08/04/2013).

Well, This are the types of hepatitis and his transmission:

1. Hepatitis A: Hepatitis A is an inflammation of the liver caused by the hepatitis A virus, including Picornaviridae which is an RNA virus. This virus characteristically are resistant to acidic, thermostable and resistant to bile. Transmission usually occurs by the fecal-oral (enter in the digestive tract through food and drink which contaminated feces sufferers hepatitis A virus).

2. Hepatitis B: Hepatitis B is a DNA virus. This virus beside infects humans, can also infect chimpanzees. hepatitis B virus can be found in body fluids (blood, saliva, sperm fluids and vaginal), but not all have high levels of virus which infectious. In general, can occur horizontally or vertically (at the time of transmission the perinatal, such as mother to her newborn child).

3. Hepatitis C: The cause of the disease Hepatitis C, is a genus that includes family Flaviviridea Hepacivirus and is RNA virus. Has 6 genotypes and more than 50 subtypes. Transmission through parenteral such as: joint use personal tools sufferers (toothbrushes, razors) also hypodermic needles that is not sterile.

4. Hepatitis D: Hepatitis D virus this is an RNA virus with a defect, meaning this virus is not able to be replicate with perfectly without the help of another virus, ie virus Hepatitis B. Transmission is with follows the journey of hepatitis B disease (parenteral), meaning if the virus Hepatitis B acute that suffered recover, then the VHD will also be lost.

5. Hepatitis E: Hepatitis E is caused by the Hepatitis E virus, a RNA virus which spherical shaped. This virus was initially is called as the cause of enterically transmitted non-A non-B Hepatitis (ET-NANB). VHE is transmitted through lane the fecal-oral. Drinking water which contaminated by feces is the most common transmission media.

Among the types of this virus that could potentially cause Extraordinary Events are virus of hepatitis A and E that caused by food poisoning.

Wow, The Human Body Can Used for Forecasting

illustration

The body of a man, apparently have a hidden ability which can predict or imply a certain condition. Even, the body will first realize the change in temperature, weather, and season then signaled to you.

Your body can imply a certain event or condition in this way:

1. Your joints can predict the weather

When happens a rain storm, previous will be preceded by a decrease in atmospheric pressure. This can be perceived by the tip of sensory joints, which can increase the pressure of the joint fluid and cause a little pain.

Although this pain it sounds not fun, but it is the way the body to predict the weather and remind you to be wary of the occurrence of rain storm.

2. Eyes can be warned that your body is too cold

Body will shiver when you cold, but the eye of you are who will warn that your body temperature have been too cold and dangerous. When hypothermia which increasingly severe, blood vessels in the eyes will narrowed to conserve energy.

When cold temperatures have been caused discomfort in the eyes, immediately warm yourself. Hypothermia can cause body dehydration, severe fatigue and can cause death.

3. Heart rate can signal an incident that will occur

Heart rate can provide a signal on the body that you need to anticipate certain incidents that will happen without cues. Researchers from Northwestern University shows a series of images in an unexpected sequence to the study participants and study the reaction.

The researchers found that the heart rate of participants will be accelerated much as 10 seconds before serving creepy images. This shows that the heart can have a gut feeling when something which thrilling or disturbing will happen.

4. Woman's vagina can be activated before his brain could

Most women think that himself will realize when it is in the situation aroused, but the researchers from the Netherlands do not agree with this. Researchers showed to the women in an erotic video, and it turns out her vagina has been more first aroused without realizing it, where will remove fluid a vaginal lubricant.

5. Part of pupil of the eye can show signs that your are falling in love

Your pupil of the eye will tend to grow big, when were in near to the people you love. Dilation of the pupil is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system, where this the nervous system will react when seeing someone attractive, the food looked delicious, and even the beautiful natural scenery.

6. Your sense of smell can evoke memories of the past

The cortex of the brain responsible for sense of smell, is located in the limbic system, namely: a place where a person stores memory. So that when you smell certain aromas typical, such as the smell of favorite dishes from his grandmother, then automatically you will remember with memories-memories of the past with your grandmother.

7. Eyes can predict that the spring will come soon

Eyes can show that winter is coming to an end and replaced with the spring. The signs are eye will tend to be itchy and watery due to the amount of plant pollen and spore that will increase when spring arrives. The pollen can make eyes feel poignant, watery and itchy.

8. Migraine can shows the occurrence of extreme temperature changes

Many people are overly sensitive to extreme weather changes can trigger the occurrence of migraine, such as very hot temperatures or cold. Weather changes can cause an imbalance of the brain chemicals, including serotonin, which can trigger a migraine.

Hopefully the above knowledge useful for you..

This is the reason nose have a different forms

illustration

Nose shape is certainly different one person with another person. There are sharp or lengthwise to the front and there are also that looked like entered into the alias pug, well as a number of other variants. But until now nothing knows why the shape of the nose can be different.

To answer her curiosity, Nathan Holton, researchers from the department of orthodontics at the University of Iowa, USA, and his colleagues conducted a computerized tomography scan of the 40 people who participated. Half of the participants are descendants of European-American and some other are African-American or indigenous population from South Africa.

From it, researchers found that the bigger the volume of the nasal cavity, then the greater his maxillary sinus or sac on each side of the nose which is located under the eyes, in both populations. It shows that the maxillary sinus was plays an important role in forming the nose shape variation. According to researchers seem this sinus provide a separate room for the nose.

In addition researchers also found that it there is related to a person's face shape overall. However, when researchers found a number of participants who his face almost the same size, maxillary sinus seen giving a real difference between the participants of European ancestry with African ancestry.

Because the maxillary sinus of participants descendants from European 36 percent bigger than Africa because the Europeans tend to have nose shape which more narrow. "Variations in the nose, this is seems related with the process of person's adaptation towards climate her residence, thing this because the nose must can heat and humidify air that we breathe with good," said Holton.

"That's, why when living in the area that cold climate is fortunately the people who have a nose more narrow so that when he breathes (Inhale), will more much air which enters and make contact with the mucosal surface of the nose that gave him humidity. Nose which more narrow that is which maximize the surface area of the mucosa so that they can keep survive in areas with low temperatures, "he continued.

The study has been published in the journal The Anatomical Record.

The blood group can determine sports that match for your body

The blood group

Blood type is not only important known for the purpose of blood transfusion only. Recently known apparently the blood group also can determine sports what that match with the body.

"Every blood type is genetically reflection of your own," said Dina Khader, a registered dietitian and nutrition consultant in Mt. Kisco, New York, USA.

"As a result, the food that you eat and the exercise you do all must be different. Thing this makes sense," augment him.

As is known, there are four types of blood groups A, B, O, and AB. Group of this blood is made up of different antigens, and react to the body's immune system.

Based on the research of Dr. James D'Adamo, author of the book,'Food that is Right for Your Blood Type', each the blood group has been evolved over the centuries and therefore he has a different reaction to the food consumed and exercise that is done.

Well, here is the type of sports that can be done accordance with your blood type:

1. Blood Type A

In people with blood type A, the more he is doing intense exercise only will add to the stress on the muscle. "Muscles on the blood group A will tighten and will produce a lot of lactic acid if given training. This also will increase cortisol in themselves so that eventually they will feel very tired and even will gain weight," said Dina.

People with blood type A is more suitable given exercises such as yoga, tai-chi or exercise the like.

2. Blood Type B

Different with the blood group A, those who have blood type B should be balanced. Blood type B is very good if you do yoga or some exercise that rather heavy. Lifting weights and cardio exercise is very good for them.

3. Blood Type AB

According to Dina, people with blood type AB must do a combination of aspects of the exercise performed blood group A and B.

4. Blood Type O

People who have blood type O will be very evolve if the doing exercises an intense. "The more intense the exercise they do they will feel her body better and they will get better results are also," said Dina.

They get a good result because can lose weight more much with exercise performed. Other than that a lot of burning fat to be energy. "This is a release of endorphins that is big in the brain," said Dina.

With doing rigorous program during 6 weeks, as well as diet and proper exercise, a person will get maximum results without the need to feel stress in the formation of the body.

Human teeth stone age more healthy, than human teeth in the modern era

(Photo: thinkstock)

Although the human who living in the stone age are not yet know with toothpaste and the dentist, teeth and mouth turned out much better than the human of age now. This is because changes in bacteria that inhabit the human mouth in every generation.

Researchers said that the human of today, a lot more facing Health problems the mouth than people who live in the stone age. Decline in oral health over the last 7,500 years is due to the change due to the evolution of human oral bacteria and industrialization.

As quoted from HealthDay, Thursday (21/02/2013), the results of the study are published February 18 in the journal Nature Genetics, who wrote that the changes in oral bacteria has been cause a variety of chronic oral health problems.

"The composition of oral bacteria have changed significantly with the familiar agricultural science 150 years ago," said Alan Cooper, leader of the study and a professor at the University of Adelaide's Australian Centre for Ancient DNA.

After human know sugar and refined flour in the food industry, the researchers noticed that as there is a diversity of bacteria that inhabit the human mouth. The existence of various bacteria, allowing the human experiencing some problems in the mouth, such as cavities.

The research team also looked at the DNA of tartar (dental plaque) 34 primordial man skeletons have been preserved. Primordial man skeleton it is found in northern Europe. Of these samples, researchers can analyze how oral bacteria have changed since the Stone Age, a period of hunting and gathering in the middle ages, on the period where humans began to recognize food.

"Dental plaque is the only object of research that is easily accessible for know the bacteria that inhabit the human mouth in the past. Genetic analysis of plaque can show the impact of eating patterns, health changes, and evolution of the genomes of pathogenic oral health in the stone age it," said Christina Adler, author of the study from the University of Sydney.

Cooper added that the changes caused by the bacteria are also the evolution of human behavior and the consumption of certain foods that have a negative impact on oral health. The study was expanded to include other periods, other regions of the world, and the species of other primordial man.

1. Twitch in the eyelid

The myth says that develops when the eyelids twitch, then there is someone who is miss you. But according to Professor Andrew Lotery, ophthalmologist at the University of Southampton, it happens because of muscle fatigue on the eyelid. If it appears too often, it could also be caused by irritation in the surface of the eye and the conjunctiva membrane.

Blepharospasm or weakening eye muscles can also cause a twitch at the age of 50-70 years. Similarly, the side effects of botox injections, can also trigger twitch. Even drinking too much coffee can also be a cause.

2. Twitch in the neck and head

In the medical world is known as spasmodic torticollis or cervical dystonia. Twitch in the neck or head is often caused by uncomfortable sleeping positions triggering neck muscle injury. In these conditions a bit heavy, neck and head can suddenly turned without desired when writing or reading.

Sometimes, Botox injections could also cause side effects like this. Putting a finger on the chin or face can ease it although there is no scientific explanation.

3. Twitch on one side of the face

Dr. Raj Kapoor, consultant neurologist from the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery refer to these symptoms as hemifacial spasm. The cause is irritation of spontaneous facial nerve. Could be due to pressure on nerves and blood vessels of the face, or other unknown causes. Bell's palsy or temporary paralysis on one nerve can also trigger it.

Generally not hazardous and can be appeased with reducing stress. Get enough rest can also prevent the emergence of a twitch on one side of the face.

4. Extreme twitch in the foot

It often happens during sleep, suddenly leg kick out of control. Sort of twitch but an extreme version because if regarding the specified object can be very painful. Though no injury, sensation of twitch in the foot feels very uncomfortable and disturbing to sleep.

Called periodic limb movement, this disorder could appear repeatedly every 20-40 seconds. The impact was reducing the quality of sleep. In 60 percent of cases, reduce the consumption of coffee and pain relievers can relieve symptoms.

5. Twitch in the arm after sport

This condition is called fasciculation and most occur in the arms, although it can also occur in other parts of the body. The cause is fatigue on the muscle fibers. Movement of the most trigger twitch in the arm are bench presses, pull-ups and press-ups.

Sports health expert, Dr. Roger Henderson suggests there is a pause, minimum of 48 hours in each weight training. At least if exercise every day, then the in 2 days consecutive do not exercise on the same muscle.

6. Twitch in the palm of your hand

Put a piece of paper in hand with the palm facing up. Often occurs small vibration on paper and it is generally harmless. Dr. Raj Kapoor, consultant neurologist from the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery said it was triggered by stress and lack of sleep.

Side effects of some asthma medications, can also cause hand twitching like that. Similarly, mild stimulants such as coffee.

7. Twitch in arm

The arms are stretched, such as holding a newspaper, for example, often great tremble without desired. A kind of twitch, but just when the arm stretched and will back to normal after being rested.

Called essential tremor, and often occurs at age 40 years upward. The cause is an error signal from the brain into specific muscles. Alcohol consumption is also often exacerbate this condition. can not be cured, but if it is very disturbing can be relieved with drugs beta-blockers.

9. Mild twitch in the hand

Disorders in the brain due to reduced production of dopamine compounds can cause mild twitch in the hand, which is a symptom of Parkinson's disease. This can occur even twitch was sitting with arm rests. Usually accompanied by a slowing of movements and talk is slowing.

Mild twitch in the hand also signify the condition of ataxia, namely is one of the symptoms of multiple sclerosis. Usually hand twitching and tremble, when reaching certain objects and accompanied with digress talk.
