This resulted in damage to the organ, and at the same time, the patient was pale due to lack of normal red blood cells. This is due to low hemoglobin level and require continuous blood transfusions.
If before this, most thalassemia patients in this country, particularly children, had to deal with difficult moments, including the pain each time taking injections for the treatment of the disease, but after this, they will breathe a sigh of relief when the government will introduce alternative methods of treatment easy. To be implemented by July, treatment with a drug Deeferasirox (Exjade) taken orally is expected to benefit the most optimum thalassemia patients as compared to the old method of using injections of iron chelation agent such as Desferrioxamine (Desferral). Previously, the method Desferrioxamine injection (Desferral) should be taken for eight to 10 hours a day with

Gallstones

Problem gallstones caused a chemical imbalance between the deposition of cholesterol in the gallbladder. Time required for gall stones are formed from small grains of sand to stone size larger. The gallbladder actually works as a thick liquid storage organ until it is needed to digest fats in your small intestine.

Dr Bong said the disease is usually treated using various methods, including laparoscopic procedures that keyhole-sized surgical procedures (keyhole) using the special small instruments for surgery. In this case, the key to success of this procedure is a very good camera system. "Now, experts use high definition cameras. Therefore, they can approach the texture and translate three-dimensional space the TV monitors in two

Gasping breath

In our life we breathe more than 20,000 times a day for normal adult. But just think, each time attracting and breathe out, you like to grapple with life as a result of a narrow airway.
That volume traveled Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive disease due to narrowed airways that can be life threatening.
Many may never have heard or know what COPD than asthma or bronchitis. COPD is often associated with hardcore smoking, polluted air and exposed to a particular work environment to the occurrence of airway obstruction in the lungs. This situation causes the patient gasping due to shortness of breath. Not surprisingly, over time people with this condition becomes active.

Recent research also shows that Southeast Asia's second highest ranking for diabetes is 161 percent, with a total of 22.3 million in 2000 and is projected to surge to 58.1 million in 2030. Head of Service, and Medical Therapy Department and Head of Endocrinology and Diabetes, Hospital Prince of Wales, University of Hong Kong China, Dr. Francis CC Chow, said it was hard to convince people to change bad habits and lifestyle, the increasing number of people and number of deaths from cardiovascular disease each year.

The psychological impact of sexual, intimate relationship of husband and wife lesion

NON customs of our people for talking about sex. This is because in essence, a culture still considers sex as a forbidden thing to be tried in public - whether for men or women. In fact, sex is a serious matter and for most couples, the issue of erection tension is not something that can be used as funny. According to the study of 300,000 men in Asia, what happens is that when individuals experience sexual problems, it is unlikely the patient will continue to see a doctor and that his plight.

Professor of Psychology at the Faculty of Medicine, University Prof Dr Low Wah Yu said the research on men's health conducted in Malaysia, including at the international level, the number of men who suffer from chronic diseases are higher than women.
"Usually the men see a doctor for high blood pressure, diabetes or heart disease. This makes the problem of sexuality is considered merely side issues, "he said, also undertake the task as the Head of Health Development Research Unit at the Faculty of Medicine. This fact leads to the fact that men hesitate to get help and eventually slow to be treated. This is because the average man, no matter what disease and faced somewhat less willing to tell. In this case, the couple encourage men and women are encouraged to quickly seek treatment or assistance. "Every time a workshop or talk about men's health are discussed, very few men in the audience at this

Harmful bacteria

IMMUNISATION children are the first fort to protect their lives from a variety of bacteria infection.
Although Malaysia is fortunate to have provided the immunization program is based on expansion of the Ministry of Health Immunization Program (EPI) World Health Organization (WHO) and given free to infants and children, but there is still no vaccine in the immunization schedule ministries such as vaccines against pneumococcal infections.
Consultant Paediatrician and Neonatologist Sunway Medical Centre, Dr Khoo Boo Aik explained, is a group of pneumococcal infection caused by a bacterium harmful Streptococcus pneumoniae, also known as pneumococcus. This bacterial infection can lead to several common diseases such as respiratory tract infections including otitis media (inflammation of the middle ear), sinusitis and lung infection (pneumonia). Dr Khoo said, it can also cause sepsis is an infection of the bloodstream and meningitis ( infection of the lining of the brain). "In other words, this infection can cause permanent hearing loss, seizures, paralysis, brain defects, diabiliti and death in certain cases. "In fact, an estimated one million children die each year from

Remove trauma surgeons fear

you call it a treatment that involves surgery, Many patients become anxious. This mentality often prevent them from seeking early treatment to all late. However, with increasing technological medicine, surgery according torakoskopik or video-assisted video thoracoscopic surgery (Vats) is a type of thoracic surgery for lung may alter this perception.

Developed around 1990, this procedure is technically include a video camera into the chest through the scope. This method allows doctors to see the contents of the chest cavity by making only a fissure or opening is very small.
This process also allows the surgeon remove the area close to the edge of the lungs and tried to detect the presence of cancer surgery using smaller equipment.

The new joint

EVERY human is blessed with a pair of knee cartilage in his lifetime. Until a time when the cartilage that acts as a soft layer that prevents friction and launched a movement and comfort between the two ends of bones in the knee, will start to decline.
When the affected cartilage, joints become stiff and painful joints cause several diseases such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and gout.
This technology is used in this country since the 1970s. Over the past 10 years, various changes and progress made in strengthening the procedure. - Dr Tai Cheh Chin, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, Sime Darby Medical Centre, Subang Jaya, Selangor According to Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, Sime Darby Medical Centre Subang Jaya, Selangor, Dr Tai Cheh Chin, joint pain is a natural deterioration of joints in which all people will experience it depends on age. Real people aged under 45 years of joint pain is less 5 percent, 45 to 65 years (30 percent), 65 and over 60 per cent and 100 per cent 85 years. In terms of gender, this joint problems commonly affects women than men. Joints formed at the end of two or more bones connected by thick tissues. Eg knee joint is formed by the lower leg bones (tibia and fibula) and the thigh bone (femur). Hips are the joints that formed the top end of the femur and the pelvis called the acetabulum part (socket). The end of each bone covered with a soft layer called cartilage. The role of normal cartilage allows movement without friction and pain free. When the affected or diseased cartilage such as arthritis, joints become stiff and sore. Each joint or capsule of fibrous tissue covered the bottomless soft tissue called synovium 'that produces fluid to reduce friction and joints wear out. However, not only arthritis that destroys joints. Many other factors such as trauma, exercise, infection and inflammation (rheumatoid arthritis and gout). On a serious level, the patient began to experience cramps, pain, deformed feet, knees 'read' when walking and began to bend. When a patient is at this stage, not much can be done to reduce the prolonged pain and suffering for them but do replacement procedures full joints (total joint replacement) to enable the patient pain free and able to walk again. What is meant by this joint replacement procedures? "This technology is used in this country since the 1970s. Over the past 10 years, various changes and progress made ​​in strengthening the procedure. Before, the knee can only bend 90 to 100 degrees, now it reaches 120 to 140 degrees. "The material is also now hold 15 to 20 years, better design and practical as well as surgical wound no more than six inches. In fact, there is now a computer navigation technology to ensure accuracy when the procedure took place, "he said, who admitted the patient will return to normal during the period 6 to 12 weeks after surgery. Dr Tai said, also better pain management through partial anesthesia. This reduces the complications after surgery, but it reduces the pain that may be continued 36 to 40 hours after surgery. What about age? According to Dr Tai, age is not an issue because most older patients who have undergone this procedure for both 93-year-old knees, "said Dr. Tai is handling more than 2000 procedures during the 15 years of service. What is to be regretted, although the success of this procedure reached 90 to 97 percent, the misconception among people in the cause they would rather suffer in silence. Compared to Australia, which recorded 60.000 replacement procedures per year hip and knee joints, only 6.000 procedure in Malaysia a year, not because the number of patients are not many, but the fear of pain, lack of confidence in the success of the procedure and are not sure they can run again. The people of Europe This problem will be willing to do the procedure immediately opposite the proposed expert in Malaysia, most patients who come too late for treatment only after suffering severe joint problems. Clearly, Dr Tai, criteria for eligible patients undergoing this procedure already suffer from them for so long, had a variety of early treatment (conservative, nutritional supplements, physiotherapy, lifestyle changes, lose weight), leg had begun to change shape or defective. "he added. "Why am I so stressed this procedure is preferred because we have the expertise and the patient need not suffer long time and the fact that the treatment and procedures that can give them hope to return to live a happy, normal, active and free from pain.

Post-procedure
1.Knee patients had begun moved back upright and bend a few hours after surgery.
2.More movements a day after the procedure.
3.Able to get up and walk a few steps two days after the procedure.
4The third day be able to walk better.
5.Discharged on the fourth day.
6.The knee procedures - take three to four days.
7.Procedures sides of the knee - five to seven days.

Eczema

PUBLIC thought or way of living environments that do not satisfy hygiene as a cause of the occurrence of infections or skin irritation. But, in fact, a very clean environment can also cause infection, irritation or allergy on the skin.
Disease eczema, itching, or inflammation of the skin, for example, found in more developed countries, the common people are concerned about cleanliness. High number of people with eczema recorded in developed countries over the past three decades.
It is probably due to the very clean in the developed countries to make a person immune system lazy, so can not distinguish between good and bad elements. "lazy immune system will react with any bacteria present to make an extremely sensitive and easily to allergies, "says Consultant Paediatric Dermatology, Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL), Dr Leong Kin Fon. He was speaking at the launch of a campaign against eczema in Malaysia, "United Against Itch ', organized by LEO Pharma recently. LEO Pharma, a research-based pharmaceutical company from Denmark to work with local and international doctors to combat eczema, a skin disease that affects two out of 10 Malaysians, but can be treated. Manager (National) LEO Pharma, Tan Keng Aun said, we have formed this partnership aims to create awareness about eczema and told the community that there is hope for the sufferer to control the disease. Elaborating the problem of eczema, Dr Leong said, based on monitoring of research, there is a connection between most patients with the level of development of eczema. For example, in Malaysia, a total of 12.6 per cent of people with eczema are school children compared to Indonesia, about 3.7 percent. This phenomenon is also seen in parts of East Malaysia, where the rate is lower in the patient compared to the mainland. Dr Leong said one feature of eczema is a skin irritation that makes people always want to scratch. The skin is very dry eczema sufferers because there is no restraining layer of liquid in the skin. In fact, there is dynamic interaction between genetic and environmental as well as the factors triggering the disease eczema itching and scratching habits, the weather is warm, dry, sweat, bacteria, soap or detergent to dry skin, food allergy and pollen. "A person can also suffer from eczema as well as genetic factors or immunologik microbial growth trend," he said. The skin is usually very itchy eczema patients, redness and sometimes blisters when having an attack. Due to frequent scratching, not just the damaged skin, but allows the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), which 95 percent are people with atopic eczema on the skin (surface), infectious and multiply. As a result, the skin is not only more likely to become dry and brittle, but it is also more sensitive to the impact of chemicals or other elements that cause allergic reactions. "When the bacteria enter the skin damaged by scratch so distant, absorption of toxins to the skin swollen and extremely itchy. The infection is slowing down the healing of this disease. Eventually, the scaly skin thick and crusty, "he said. People who have eczema are often tied up in a cycle of itching and the urge to scratch for a prolonged period. To treat this disease, this cycle must be determined. Dr Leong said, eczema can be controlled with the use of drugs that can help break the itch-scratch cycle, providing fast relief from itching, and even eliminate skin kelepuhan better. She is also more emphasis on consulting with parents or guardians of children to give them a proper understanding of this disease. "method can be applied to control the eczema is by balancing the factors trigger eczema attacks. "This disease can not be recovered, so good control or management hoped to reduce or shorten the period of the attack, making children happier, "he said. Consultant Dermatologist at the Hammersmith Hospital, United Kingdom, Prof. Anthony Chu, said that eczema is not just a problem in the patient alone, but also the environment and family life , including their sleep. This is because children suffering from eczema, frequent crying and difficulty sleeping and thus also affect their physical development. "What is important, parents, guardians and families of children need to block to manage children with eczema. Naturally, the disease will gradually disappear when the child is stepping up. "menghidapnya majority of patients before the age of five years and 50 percent of them were recovered by the age of 10 years. Rarely patients continue to suffer from eczema from childhood to adulthood, "he said. Therefore, he suggested that the mother, father and guardian of mutual help in managing children with eczema and looking for the most appropriate method to reduce the inconvenience incurred by their children. "In terms of medication is , many parents who were reluctant when told their child should be given medicines that contain steroids for fear of side effects. "The perception was altered accordingly. Spreads steroids can help control the disease well, provided it is used correctly based on expert advice. "In addition, parents should also be cautious in choosing drugs. Although drugs may be their choice was based on herbs, does not mean it is safe to take, "he said. In the meantime, General Manager (National) LEO Pharma, Tan Keng Aun said, we have formed this partnership aims to create awareness about eczema and told the people that There is hope for the sufferer to control the disease.

Practice relaxation exercises

Exercise alone can raise the open relaxed fun, but more importantly can help maintain good health. Research shows that middle-aged women who exercise are more fun in a relaxing face life than their peers who exercise intensively. Elavsky Steriani study from Penn State University, in Pennsylvania, on 255 women aged 40 and 60 years, found that by doing exercise on scale twice relaxed they looked energized.

Through the study, all women are given a choice whether they want to do recreational activities in a relaxing or active as volunteers noted that they would monitor the situation while doing the activity.
Overall, women who do leisure relaxing on a scale of two times to show they appear to still be vibrant and healthy lifestyle activities involving, in the future, while some of them showed increased feelings of sadness and guilt than the women who undergo an intensive workout. "Exercise will make the individual feel more comfortable if done by way of relaxing than stressful, especially if it is rarely done, "said Elavsky told Reuters Health. He and his counterparts in the Middle East Technical University in Ankara, Turkey, studied 255 women with any all the women not undergoing hormone therapy and exercise every day for two weeks, the study revealed that during a meeting of the North American Menopause Center in Washington. At the beginning of the study, the women completed two exercises, relaxation and intensive. Intensive exercise involving women walking on the treadmill and they are found to be consistent, while women who exercise too casual for 30 minutes on threadmill based on speed is more consistent choice. All women who underwent the study seemed to wear an accelerometer to detect the use of energy and time spent when they do activities at different intensity. The study also found women who exercise have laid a better spirit and energy as well live in peace. "physical activity that is relaxing and not too pressing is suitable for their who suffer from overweight. "exercise drills are just a little contribute to increased morale and for individuals who face the problem of overweight or unhealthy, the significance of their peace force decreased after the drill-oriented exercise," he said. To give an example of the relaxed form of exercise that can be done, Elavsky, said some of the slow walk, dance hall, biking over rough terrain, berkeno, gardening, soccer field, volleyball, tennis and water exercise. He hoped that the study of exercise and fitness This gives women the confidence to be a routine exercise can be good for the life of more peace and they do not have to struggle to do that is not the usual routine when they play. "We hope that the operator or those involved in this field suggest that exercise or recreational activities appropriate to those who come for advice about exercise form can be done, "he said.
He stressed, middle-aged women are among the most inactive group exercises. It is important to all women to understand whether done by hard exercise cause different effects against the spirit, or whether this response represents the total physical activity middle-aged women.

Control of appetite

EATING fruit before eating heavy meals is a good habit, but that usually happens, the fruit is always in the meal last meal dessert or after meals.
In fact, placing the fruit is good based on the concept of stomach pillow because it does not affect the energy density of foods and total energy intake even if a person is in the blocking phase of calorie intake.
In fact, there is clinical evidence showing that significant weight loss can be achieved when the individual can cover the stomach with low energy density (eg fruit) before eating the main meals. According to the Diet and Nutrition Specialist Columbia Asia Hospital Cheras, Cindy Chua Shiu Sinn, fruits can help individuals to fill the stomach as well as reduce the amount of feed during the meal. "Currently, less research study conducted for the direct relationship between the intake of fruit and vegetables by weight. However, in chronic disease management studies, intake of fruits and vegetables considered an important part of overall disease management (including weight loss and for weight maintenance), "he said, recently. Individuals are not may restrict what they take based on calories alone. And fullness, is a reason for someone to stop eating. Says Chua, at the same level of calorie, low-energy density foods like fruits, providing a larger amount of food. This can help a person feel full faster when eating while taking a lower amount of calories. "Water and fiber may increase the amount of food and reduce the energy density. In natural conditions, fruits are rich in water and fiber. Therefore, the fruit is a good source of calories and low in energy density, "he said. Clearly, Cindy, research shows that fruits can increase the feeling of fullness, especially when taken as a whole. A comparison of cup 250 milliliters orange juice provides 88 calories of oranges with just 37 calories, eat more oranges also contain more fiber and capable of filling. "All kinds of fruit can be taken before meals weight, but preferably fresh fruit. Fiber can push food through the digestive system earlier and provide a consistent amount each time to remove the water, "he said. However, says Chua, before eating heavy meals, avoid foods that have high energy densities that are normally high in fat or sugar foods. like sweet foods, fast food and sweets.

Toddlers bedwetting

PROBLEM bedwetting child is between the concerns of parents when returning to the village or holiday. The question is, is this a regular habit that can be tolerated, especially if it continues until the child reaches the age of six?
According to UK Health Advisory Service (NHS), bedwetting, or the scientific name "nocturnal enuresis" is very common among children especially under age seven. One in five children aged seven years, one in 20 children aged 10 years dealing with bedwetting, and it is more common among boys than girls.
Sometimes bedwetting habits can also be caused by health problems like diabetes or cystitis (inflammation of the bladder). There are also among some children, this behavior may be due can`t to antidiuretic hormone produce enough functional control urine production at night. However, in general, we need to know the facts more easily, some children develop control over bladder urine is quite late compared to other children. He may also face psychological problems because of problems at school or home, for example. For adults, when the bladder is full at night, the brain will keep the bladder to empty. The ability to undergo this process is not there a natural birth. Instead, it formed gradually and by the age of six, a child generally have the ability. However, between seven per cent of children in the surrounding 10 years of age and between one to two percent of teenagers in the age of 15 years are still experiencing this problem. Especially if the mother or father or both was also faced with the problem of bedwetting during childhood, the children face the risk to between 75 to 40 percent for the experience. Although most parents believe that eventually the child will be able to deal with this problem in line with the increase age, some children who need help. Believe it or not, the method to overcome bedwetting habits is hypnosis. Some people define hypnosis as a condition of all outstanding individual focus that causes a sense of calm and relaxing. When the hypnosis session, the mind is open to more suggestions than usual. Children said in a state of self hypnosis (self-hypnosis) when they play alone. Actors or athletes often using hypnosis to improve their performance. Generally, hypnosis enables them to learn to change perceptions, feelings and attitudes. Hypnosis can also be used to reduce the fear, pain control or change bad habits. In 2004, a study published in the Journal of Norwegian Medical Association to submit the use of hypnosis techniques to children who are dealing with bedwetting habits. The report said, hypnosis is one effective treatment to address the chronic problem of bedwetting. Principal, London College of Clinical Hypnosis in Malaysia (LCCH), Sheila Menon, said that bedwetting is a common problem caused embarrassment to the children and their parents make difficult hearts. "A child is too young to understand the logic of adults. Thus, they will become too focused on image bedwetting. The images will result in embarrassment and made ​​them depressed. "Hypnosis can help overcome this problem. The first thing a member of the hypnotherapy will do is to focus the attention back to the problems of family members as a dry bed. Sometimes it is enough, "he said. Clearly, Sheila, children are faced with the problem of bedwetting can be trained mentally on the bedtime routine. Generally, when the bladder of a child was full, they will wake up and go to the toilet before returning to sleep happy. "In the case of bedwetting, hypnosis therapist will teach techniques to control bladder muscles and to the subconscious. What is important, the problem of bedwetting is not a disease. Instead it is the ability to control bladder muscles and a child. Therefore, as parents, impatient with habits and at the same time, help him solve the problem.

five children overcome bedwetting guide
1.See a doctor to stop the problem if your child is aged six or seven years. Tests will be conducted to ensure that children are free from the bladder infection.

2.Do not law because it gives the child more stress. These children are not able to control his habit and the punishment will affect the identity.

3.Respect the personal rights - children's shame as bedwetting, and of course he did not want others to know about the problem.

4.Teach children wake up at night to urinate. Practice every night to educate the mind and body to wake up to urinate before she urinated in bed.

5.Think positive and patient. Tell yourself the effort a child takes to stop the habit. Intolerant attitude just makes it more stressful.

Pregnant young age

REPORT pregnant teenagers and abandonment associated with the misconduct, is too often displayed media. Wrong if any of you who think it is just an isolated case because it can happen to them in the city and even in far-flung villages.
Not only in Malaysia but also worldwide statistics show that nearly 80 million of the 210 million pregnancies are unplanned pregnancies.
A sharp increase in extra-marital pregnancies among teenagers is not just social crisis but also affect the economy. The proof, in the United States, pregnant at a young age crisis result in a loss of RM21.3 billion in terms of return on the taxpayer incurred it includes expenditure in terms of public assistance, healthcare management, family and criminal legal systems. In Malaysia as a developing country, we can not bear the adverse impact of pregnancy in teens. The problem of school dropout, unmarried and likely to get on welfare compared to reference peers. Illegitimate children were not spared experiencing problems due to the low level of health, cognitive development is slower and more serious behavior problems than their peers. Founder and Executive Chairman-cum-Senior Consultant in Obstetrics and Gynecology, PrimaNora Medical Centre, Dr Nor Ashikin Mokhtar, said , increase the number of teenage pregnancy is due to more people having sex at a young age. "survey in 1994 and 1996 by the National Population and Family Development (LPPKN), showed 24 percent of teens aged 13 to 19 years ever had sex. Most noticeable is the peer pressure to persuade them to perform sexual activities, "he said at the launch of 'Yes, I Can,' recently. The campaign organized by the Asia-Pacific Contraceptives (APCOC), Obstetrics and Gynaecology Association of Malaysia (OGSM) Reproductive Health and the Federation of Malaysia (FRHAM) in cooperation with the pharmaceutical company Bayer Schering Pharma Malaysia. It aims to tackle the problem of unplanned pregnancies and abandoned babies through awareness and education can be obtained through the website www.yesican.com.my. According to Dr Nor Ashikin, what is to be regretted, given the normal reaction is' everyone's doing it. " Obviously insistence to have sex is around them that influence school friend, more than 20,000 sexual scenes on television, including ads, drama series and entertainment programs. Music is also indirectly stimulates the human sexual act activating melatonin, the hormone of the pineal gland in the brain. It is activated by darkness and turned off the lights and the same glands that are programmed to trigger the changes of puberty and affects the reproductive cycle and sexual desire of man. According to Dr Nor Ashikin, lack of knowledge of contraception lead to perceptions of society towards sex education is still a taboos and no way to manage the pregnancy resulted in many newborns, discarded. "Surprisingly, most of the attacking efforts to introduce sex education in the country, just hold on to the notion that knowledge is harmful. Instead the study proves the ignorance and curiosity that is not resolved, it is harmful, not knowledge.

Causes eye damage

You are having trouble HAS central blurred vision? To make matters worse, a straight line looks crooked crooked and not long after that, you begin to realize you are only depends on the visual side.
You might think it a sign points are old and need new glasses. However, more bad news, it is a symptom of macular symptoms of eye damage due to aging (AMD). Although it did not attack anyone, what is more frightening problem is no cure for AMD.
There are two factors that cause AMD, the factors can be controlled and the factors that can not be controlled. Factors that can not be controlled is genetics and aging factors can be controlled while involving smoking, diet is not balanced as well as obesity and exercise. Smoking is very often associated with various health complications. The study found that smokers have a risk of AMD by four times compared to those who do not smoke. Even AMD cases detected between two to three times more in smokers. In short, the more smoke the greater the risk of AMD. Eye Surgeon, Dr Ahmad Fauzi Md. Sharif, said that AMD is a disease generally associated with aging. It destroys the middle points of view and your view is not as sharp lead first. The middle points of view needed to enable us to see objects clearly. Among the daily tasks that require central vision the eye is reading and driving. However, most people do not realize they are dealing with AMD. This is because AMD does not cause any pain. In fact, in some cases it happens so slowly you think AMD is part of the compulsory old age. However, according to a former lecturer of the University Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC), there are also cases where AMD occurs rapidly and causes the central vision two affected eyes. "AMD typically occurs at age 50 and over. Although it is not a factor that can cause blindness, but it affects the quality of life. "At one time, AMD is considered diseases of the west, but a recent study released in May revealed the Asians also tend to attack AMD. "The study across five Asian countries namely Japan, China , South Korea, India and Singapore Asia confirm the frequency of dealing with the early stages of AMD was 6.8 percent, while end-stage AMD was 0.56 percent compared with 8.8 percent and 12:59 per cent in the west. Most of those who attacked AMD, aged 40 to 79 years, "he said. The UMMC Centre for Eye Research, Assoc Prof Dr Fong Choong Sian, said macular refers in the middle of the retina, and it was kind of the light sensitive tissue located behind the points. Generally the retina rapidly changing light or the image to the 'impulse' or an electrical signal. The retina then sends nerve signals to the brain. In the case of AMD, fragile cell is damaged or no longer work. There are two types of AMD, referred to as AMD, AMD Wet and Dry. Wet AMD occurs when new blood vessels grow behind the retina due to the fragile nature, they bleed easily or scratches that cause visual impairment. Wet AMD occurs quickly, and sometimes as a reaction in the early stages of treatment. In all AMD patients, only 10 percent of the detected only with this problem. Clearly, Prof. Fong, Dry AMD refers to a common condition found in patients with AMD. It happens slowly, until finally the patient lost central vision. "Most people come for treatment after the middle blurred vision, seeing a color it looks gray or discolored. But in both types of AMD, it can affect both eyes even if initially it was detected in one eye only, "he said. In Asia, he said, most patients are detected with AMD is that they are faced with Dry AMD. He said if AMD can be classified at the beginning, intermediate, advanced level non-neovaskular neovaskular and advanced levels. "In the early stages of AMD, the patient lost vision usually start slow and have no symptoms. But there are also cases of early AMD, which has symptoms such as blurred vision, failing to adjust the vision of the dark to the light, and require greater light to read small type.

The risk of snoring

Habit of snoring is often considered funny and very common in society, but know someone snoring is actually the initial representation is not only faced problems with mates and quality of life but also to serious health problems.

"Respiratory tract blockage can occur on the nose or throat or both. Thus the presence of adenoid tissue or large tonsils, nasal polyps, nasal bones are crooked, and patients who are overweight and have a short neck and large increased risk of snoring, "he said. The problem snoring can be associated with serious sleep problem called sleep apnea '. It occurs when the patient stops breathing for more than 10 seconds during sleep (apnea). Apnea also may occur repeatedly during sleep and causes a decrease in oxygen content in the blood of patients.

That is why the snoring problem affects mostly male patients between the ages of 30 to 60 years, especially with overweight. It is important for patients to consult a specialist to find out if they have a problem of sleep apnea. This problem has some serious level as a result of sleep studies performed on patients in a sleep laboratory at the hospital or the patient's own home. Through this study, will be able to detect the frequency of "apnea during sleep due to the frequent 'apnea', the more serious stage of the disease and its impact on patients. Treatment for snoring problems depends on the cause identified. Surgery can be done to treat respiratory tract problems such as tissue narrow large tonsils, nasal polyps and others.

It seeks to regulate body temperature, as well as remove waste products such as urea, sodium, calcium or electrolyte. Dermatology Physicians and Darul Ehsan Medical Center, Dr. Abdul Kadir Jilani Noraziah, explaining Eccrine gland sweating through pure nature, clear as water and produces no odor because it will continue out to the skin surface and overflows. Apocrine glands also secrete a more viscous liquid and a bit muddy and cause problems if it is more than Eccrine glands. Apocrine glands are the body parts that many hair follicles as difficult as the armpits and pubic places. These glands contain sebum, fatty substance which is secreted sweat. Sebum is an organic material stored in the Apocrine glands. Here it easier for bacteria to break into the protein in the secretion of sweat, unlike Eccrine glands. When proteins are broken down by bacteria in the sweat, armpits or feet will produce unpleasant odor. cause body odor can be caused by the waste accumulated in the body by the digestive process is not perfect. A variety of foods, mostly used for the body while the rest are translated into the form of waste or toxins. Toxins are eliminated if the kidney, liver and intestinal tract functioning properly.

In addition to a strong foot sweat, foot odor is caused by wearing shoes or socks that have no proper ventilation for a long time. In view of the human foot thick, covered with sweat glands, sweat on the feet can be mixed with the bacteria on the surface and produces a smell. feathers on the legs, especially on the thumb can contribute to a more concentrated odor by adding the total surface on which bacteria can grow. The smell of the feet can be treated by choosing an open shoes and socks from natural materials such as cotton and wool. Keep feet dry, using talc for feet, do not use the same shoes, and avoid emotional stress through exercise such as yoga meditation. The way treating and controlling underarm odor is the use of liquid detergent containing 3 percent hydrogen peroxide, spray deodorant and spray anti-sweat.

Her designs are not only 'strong', but protects the sensitive nerve roots. However, like other body parts, sometimes they can not escape the pain. In fact, back pain is the most "feared" as well as pain, it also affected the daily routine for causing the individual mobility.
Spinal pain may be due to various factors, for example, the swollen nerve roots; large muscle (erector spinae) stretch; bones, ligaments or joints may be injured or slipped disk. Compared with other treatments for the spine, surgery is the last choice except in cases cases of emergency. Often, doctors will only recommend surgery if the pain continues even if you are doing non-surgical treatment. If confronted with such a situation, you might consider the minimum-invasive surgery (MIS). Orthopaedic Surgeon, Hospital Pantai Kuala Lumpur, Dr Harwant Singh, said that compared to the long spine surgery procedures, MIS assisted by sophisticated computer equipment and surgical techniques that reduce the minimum pain. Clearly, the MIS procedures reduce pain, heal faster, shorten the surgical time, less damage to soft tissue surgery as well as the size of a smaller puncture thus causing less scar puncture containers. For how to open surgery, the surgeon makes a long cut through the skin, muscle and sometimes bone. Recovery period for this type of surgery is often painful and slow. There are also patients who have not fully recovered after one month of the surgery. "minimal invasive terms used to refer to the procedure only requires a surgical puncture of less than 1.5 centimeters. Today the modern medical world moving towards this type of treatment. But there are many different surgeries that are defined as "minimal invasive" and using different approaches. Thus, it is important for patients to understand all the differences and make the best choice for them, "he said. Although MIS does not refer to only one type of surgery, but the purpose of this type of surgery is to achieve the same effect with open surgery. The difference it is done with a smaller puncture. Sometimes this type of surgery performed through small tubes. Must also be clear that not all patients can undergo this procedure. One of the advantages of MIS procedures are in operation 'open lumbar' (lower spine), which formerly caused the operation of five to six inches. This condition can cause damage to normal tissue. But through the MIS, it helps reduce the 'disorder' in the muscle. In some of the MIS approach, also known as 'keyhole surgeries' surgeon uses a small endoscopic camera at the end that is inserted through the skin. The camera allows the surgeon to see the location affected. Today, MIS has become a popular choice in many hospitals around the world. However, patients should undergo conservative treatment like physical therapy, medications before choosing surgery as an alternative treatment. Usually a doctor gives the evaluation of p depends on the condition of the patient, generally between six weeks to six months.
