Jakarta, policies relating to safety should not only include things that are short and look good on the surface. Research shows several types of jobs at risk of causing cancer, even thousands of suspected cases of cancer each year are caused by work.
Unfortunately, experts say not enough can be done to reduce this risk. In an article in the Medical Journal of Australia, Professor Lin Fritschi and colleagues assert that it is difficult to estimate the exact number of cancer cases are associated with the job.
"It is estimated there are about 5000 cases of cancer each year are caused by work. Work that lead to cancer of public and media attention, but received limited attention from researchers and policy makers, especially when compared to other carcinogens such as tobacco use and exposure to sunlight, "Professor Fritschi said as quoted by the official website of the Australian Medical Association, AMA.com, Monday (2/20/2012) ..
In addition to hard to estimate how many for sure, the incidence of cancer because the work is not easily identified. This cancer is characterized by disease or clinical condition that is unique. Moreover, the lag time between exposure and diagnosis of cancer causes of cancer can be decades away.
Professor Fritschi appointed one of his research in 2011 which was published in the American Journal of Epidemiology. He found that employees who spend 10 years or more in a job that requires you to sit all day at risk of developing colon cancer twice. These employees also have an increased risk of rectal cancer by 44%.
Another study conducted in 2009 Professor Fritschi and published by the British Medical Journal show the influence of shift work on cancer, especially breast cancer. He stated that the shift of work that interferes with the biological clock can cause cancer. Breast cancer risk increased by about 50% in night workers and about 70% on airline employees.
"To give priority to preventive measures, it is important to collect data on the number of workers in Australia are exposed to carcinogens, what he does, also how the concentration and frequency of exposure," added Professor Fritschi.
According to Professor Fritschi, general practitioners and other physicians need to know how to analyze employment history as a whole and improve the ability to identify cancer due to compensation for the work can be followed up with a legitimate case.
In 1980, the National Health Organization (WHO) and the Medical Research Council (NHMRC) in Australia passed a law to regulate carcinogenic substance and form a national safety committee or the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission (NOHSC).
Several other developed countries have also formulated a similar policy. However, this policy seems it is still not much help to reduce the number of cancer cases caused by work.
Jakarta, Indonesia with such a rich biodiversity can contribute to cancer. Of the many types of plants are there, first lady Ani Yudhoyono, or SBY hopes Ani born cespleng alias cancer drug works.
"Millions of species of plants and animals exist in Indonesia, who knows one day of birth here cespleng cure cancer. Who knows, we pray together," said Ani in the opening of the National Seminar: Problems Cancer Together We, at the State Palace, Wednesday (22/02/2012).
One of the plants developed as potential cancer drugs cespleng is white turmeric. Many people call it nutritious treat cancer, so Ani urged all researchers to do research to prove it.
If successful, white turmeric can be an alternative or complement to other cancer therapies as practiced in China. So instead of going through chemotherapy and radiation, patients also received herbal with no side effects like hair loss.
Besides the issue of herbal medicine, Ani also stressed that the treatment of cancer in Indonesia is still weak because of the availability of professional medical personnel are less prevalent. Admittedly also, the provision of adequate and affordable facilities is still difficult to realize.
About the financing of cancer therapy are also mentioned by Ani, who also acknowledged the high cost of cancer treatment. But it has been overcome with Jamkesmas government, which essentially frees the cost of cancer treatment for the poor and the poor half.
Currently estimated, in the world every year there are 12 million new cancer patients with a mortality rate reaching 7.6 million cases. If nothing is done to overcome them, it is predicted that by 2030 the number of patients to 26 million cases / year and the mortality rate of 17 million cases / year worldwide.
Jakarta, For smokers, cigarette smoke can be done anytime, whether morning, noon and night. But did you know that smoking at night can disrupt sleep and make sleep not?
Smoking not only make people less sleep, but also responsible for changing the pattern of sleep that makes sleep was not restful. Smoking can interfere with sleep by various means.
The most dramatic effect of smoking is a reduction in time spent sleeping in, which is known to create a fresh feeling when you wake up in the morning.
In 2008, the journal Chest reported that chronic smokers spend more time on mild sleep (sleep soundly), especially in the early evening, as reported by Livestrong, Saturday (04/02/2012).
Culprit is nicotine, which has a stimulating effect on the nervous system. Ironically, because the nicotine in the blood flow is reduced during the night, increasing the withdrawal symptoms. Symptoms include anxiety and insomnia (difficulty sleeping).
Smoking is also a risk factor for sleep disorders known as dangerous obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). According to the Mayo Clinic, smokers are three times more likely to suffer from OSA than those who never smoked.
During the OSA, the airway will narrow or blocked, preventing enough oxygen from reaching the brain during sleep. Snoring is very loud and woke up gasping are two common symptoms of OSA, which if left untreated can lead to pulmonary hypertension, heart failure and premature death.
Smoking increases the risk for OSA because it irritates the throat habits and causes blockage in the evening. The good news, quit smoking immediately to improve sleep hygiene.
Jakarta, Often people worry if awakened from sleep at night. However, some evidence suggests sleep for eight hours a night is not really natural. Which naturally is to sleep every four hours and then wake up for one or two hours, then sleep for four hours.
A psychiatrist named Thomas Wehr conducted experiments in which a group of people were asked to sleep 14 hours every day for a month. It takes time for participants to be able to regulate his sleep patterns. In the fourth week, all of the participants have been able to adjust sleep patterns. Participants slept for four hours, then wake up for one or two hours then sleep for four hours.
Not only that, a scientist named Roger Ekirch of Virginia Tech published a paper composed of research for 16 years. He expressed a lot of historical evidence that humans in ancient times used to sleeping for two times in one night.
His book 'At Day's Close: Night in Times Past' contains more than 500 reference patterns of sleep diaries, court records, health records and books of literature. This book describes the first sleep begins about two hours after dusk, and then woke up for one or two hours and then sleep again for a second time.
During the period between the two wake up in bed, the body is quite active. People often get up, go to the toilet or smoke and even visit some of the neighbors. But most people stay in bed, read, write and pray often. There have been many books about the countless prayers of the 15th century contains a special prayer for hours in between two of sleep.
The instructions of the physician in 16th-century French advised the couple that is not the best time to conceive after working all day, but after the first riser, that is when the atmosphere is more calm and better sex.
Supports the idea that the first and second sleep is starting to disappear during the 17th century's. Presumably this is due to upper-class circles in Northern Europe lose the habit of sleeping for 8 hours a day throughout the West. In 1920, the first and second sleep habits have been completely lost.
"At night in the 17th century relate to many things that are not good. Night is the time it was inhabited by evil men, prostitutes and drunks. There is no prestige or social values associated with staying up all night," says the historian, Craig Koslofsky, author of 'Evening's Empire' as reported by the BBC, Friday (02/24/2012).
Today, most people seem to have adapted to sleep for eight hours straight. But Ekirch believes that the sheer number of sleep disorders currently comes from the body's natural urge to sleep was interrupted every four hours. That is why many people who claim to insomnia and do not easily fall asleep again.
"A lot of people awake at night and then panic. I tell them that what they are experiencing is a separate sleep patterns and it's good for them. More than 30% of health problems that occur because of sleep, either directly or indirectly," says Russell Foster, professor of neuroscience at Oxford University body.
Jacobs suggests that the period between waking may play an important role for humans to manage stress naturally. In historical records, it was found that many people who used the time to reflect on his dream.
"Currently only a few people who do this. It is not just coincidence that in modern life, the number of people suffering from anxiety, stress, depression, alcohol dependence and drug abuse growing up," says Dr. Jacobs.
So, if awakened in the middle of the night, think of habits of the people in the past and relax. Because it awakened in the middle of the night can be good for health.
Jakarta, Sleep is the perfect time to rest his breast with not wearing a bra. But many women who believe that sleeping without wearing a bra can make a quick breast sagging. Is this true?
Basically, the force of gravity is the main enemy of all women. Bra is the opposite of gravity, thus protecting the breast from the force of gravity that makes it loose.
But even using the most stringent bra though, nothing can prevent sagging breasts naturally associated with age.
According to experts, sleep without a bra breasts will give chance to 'breathe'. Bra is modified to 'hold' and keep the shape of the breast, the bra should be removed during sleep in order to run properly circulation while you sleep.
But for women who have large breasts, sleeping without a bra can make a quick breast sagging. For that, you should use a loose bra while sleeping so that the breasts did not change much.
Dr. Matthew Schulman, cosmetic surgeon from New York City, said there are three things that cause breast sagging, as reported by Livestrong, Saturday (25/02/2012), namely:
A. Decreased elastin which serves to make the skin firm.
2. Reduced internal support structure known as breast Cooper's ligaments which function as 'internal bra'.
3. Berkurangan breast tissue due to age, weight changes and pregnancy.
As a breast cancer prevention, it is better off bra while you sleep. Scientists Sydney Singer and Soma Grismaijer his wife in 1991 had written in his book "Dressed To Kill: The Link Between Breast Cancer and Bras", which contains about women who want to avoid breast cancer should wear a bra in the shortest time possible and preferably less than 12 hours per day.
The best time to rest his breast without a bra is during sleep. "Do not sleep with a bra," said Sydney Singer, as quoted by chetday.
Jakarta, the researchers cautioned against the use of sleeping pills in a long time. Prescription sleeping pills can help many people to get a much needed rest at night. But the use of sleeping pills on a regular basis and in the long term can also increase the risk of death or developing some cancers.
A new study suggests that people who take sleeping pills four times more likely to die than those who did not take sleeping pills at all. The results also showed that, sleeping pills are also associated with increased risk for certain types of cancer.
The results of these studies have been published online in the journal BMJ Open edition February 27, 2012. Sleeping pills, including the class of benzodiazepines, non-benzodiazepines, barbiturates, sedatives, and antihistamines.
However, the results of the new study only shows the relationship between sleep aids and the risk of death, but did not demonstrate a causal relationship. So that some experts claim that, still need to do further studies to confirm these findings.
"Sleeping pills associated with increased mortality and cancer," said Dr. Daniel Kripke, of the Scripps Clinic Sleep Center Viterbi Family, in La Jolla, California as reported by the MSNHealth, Tuesday (02/28/2012).
In the new study, the team Kripke has involved more than 10,500 people on average 54 years. These patients had various underlying medical conditions and prescribed sleeping pills for an average of about 2.5 years between 2002-2007. The researchers compared the risk for mortality and cancer patients against those who did not take sleeping pills.
These risks apply regardless of age, but the highest risk among those aged 18-55 years. People who use high doses are also at greater risk of some cancers, including esophageal cancer, lymphoma, lung cancer, colon cancer, and prostate cancer.
"However, the relationship between sleeping pills and an increase in mortality and cancer was not associated with existing health problems before," said the researchers.
There are several known mechanisms that can lead to increased cancer risk, such as stress. For example, esophageal regurgitation can lead to esophageal cancer. Sleeping medications can also worsen sleep apnea, and can make people more susceptible to falls and car accidents.
"People who take sleeping pills should not panic. There may be many reasons for the increased risk of death has nothing to do with sleeping pills, but with other risk factors that have been proven. Sleep is the first thing affected when someone is under pressure due to medical illness or psychological problems. So that sleeping pills are quite safe and effective when prescribed by a physician as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. However, the use of sleep medication in the long run it should be avoided, "said Dr. Victor Fornari, of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at The Zucker Hillside Hospital of the North Shore Long Island Jewish Health System, New York.
Jakarta, Maintain cleanliness and appearance of the female sex organs (vagina) is very important. Maintain the cleanliness and appearance of the vagina has been done by women from time to time. Some problems may occur in the vagina. When that happens, of course, women do not want to leave it alone.

Hexachlorophene is a disinfectant that can kill when absorbed through the skin. In 1972, these materials have also been added to the baby powder in France due to manufacturing errors, and has led to 36 children died.
2. Vaginal douching
Douching, which is the act of inserting the liquid mixture into the vagina with a tube and pump. The method was first promoted as a form of birth control and continue to be used for medical reasons, such as to prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs), to clean the vagina after menstruation and, to cleanse the vagina to smell.
However, douching has been associated with PID (pelvic inflammatory disease), ectopic pregnancy and infertility.
3. Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation (LVR)
After childbirth or with age, the vagina may become more lax. Conditions of a loose vagina is also quite disturbing some women from time to time. Because of the loose vagina may affect sexual satisfaction.
Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation (LVR) can make the vagina tighter, thus enhancing sexual pleasure. But many doctors who disagree. American Society Urogynocology not support the use of LVR.
American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists also warned about the lack of data supporting the effectiveness of the procedure and potential complications of LVR, including infection, changes in sensation, dyspareunia, adhesions, and scarring.
4. Labiaplasty
Not only a loose vagina is considered a problem. However, the shape of the female sex organs too often make their owners are not happy. Labiaplasty is a procedure that drastically reduces the labia. The labia are prominent lips surrounding the vagina door.

Jakarta, people who like to swim in the pool to be good for his blood pressure. Within 3 months, swimming can lower blood pressure by an average of nine points.
Normal blood pressure is defined by the average readings exceeded 120/80 mm. Number 140/90 mm or higher are categorized in high blood pressure, and readings in between these two numbers is considered a "pre-hypertension."
"Swimming is often promoted as a good exercise for people who have been outstanding. Reason is because they do not overload the joints and may cause the body to become too hot, the pool is also the second most popular sport among the elderly after a walk," said the researchers, Hirofumi Tanaka from the University of Texas at Austin.
In a research report published in the American Journal of Cardiology, swimming proven to improve blood vessel function of older adults and keeping the blood pressure.
"Swimming is a very attractive form of exercise because it is easy to do and inexpensive. And because it does not make the rivet body weight due to being held by the buoyancy of water, these were friendly to the knee and ankle joints," said Tanaka as reported by Reuters on Thursday (26 / 1/2012).
The study involved 43 adults with an average age of 60 who have high blood pressure or pre-hypertension, but still in good shape. The researchers asked the participants to swim or do relaxation exercises at random.
During 12 weeks, the group swam to pool as much as three or four times a week, gradually, to be able to achieve a 45 minute swim at a time. At the end of the study, the swimmers managed to reduce systolic blood pressure by an average of nine points. Systolic blood pressure is a number at the top of the blood pressure readings. In contrast, the rate of blood pressure in the relaxation group did not change.
Similar results were found when the researchers asked participants wore portable monitors to track their blood pressure for 24 hours. On average, the pool has a systolic blood pressure 119 mm Hg. This figure is down from 128 mm Hg at baseline.
Tim Tanaka also used ultrasound tests to measure the extent to which participants' blood vessel dilation in response to changes in blood flow. Again, the researchers again found improvements in the swim, but the result was nil in the relaxation group.
Tanaka said that for the elderly to exercise properly, swimming can certainly be a safe activity. Indeed there was a time when swimming can be risky because it is in cold water can cause changes in heart and vascular system. But most studies have shown that swimming is safe as well as a walk.
Jakarta, a simple blood test can tell whether it has too much fat called triglycerides in the blood. High levels of triglycerides in the blood can cause hardening and thickening of the condition of the arteries, heart attack or stroke.

SINTANG - Sintang BKKBN of West Kalimantan (Kalbar) promoting family planning programs for rural communities, especially those in Sub Ketungau Upper and Middle Ketungau.
Head of Family Planning Family Welfare (KBKS) Sintang BKKBN,
Chairani Fatimah said to intensify the family planning program, it tries to empower the Family Planning Officer (PKB).
"Thank God for this time show an increase, people have started to realize to follow the family planning program," he said when met Tribune, Monday (5/23/2011) at his office.
Fatimah said that, despite showing an increase, it still
difficult to implement family planning programs to men, the article of the public image of KB is always synonymous with women.
"In fact, now men can also use birth control, but people are still reluctant to use it, with a variety of reasons, of course," he explained.
From the data perdesember in 2010, the number of users of family planning in Sub Ketungau
Reaching the middle of 4187, comprised of users of an intrauterine device KB
(ayudi) as many as 120 people, Operation Medical Men as much as 3 people, medical surgery Female 19 people, users reached 114 implants, injectable, 2001, while the pill and condoms reached 1900 only 30 people.
"Infertile couples age 3037 or approximately 59.50 percent, so it's KB is still dominated by women," he said.
According to him, family planning for men is actually pretty well implemented, the function is similar to birth control used by women. Even if the men do the KB, the impact will be very positive, which can increase the libido.
"It's just that people are still reluctant to use it. It takes hard work to promote this issue to the public, so they are also willing to perform KB men, especially rural people who are busy with work in the garden" he said.
Women who take oral contraceptives or birth control pill called his memory was likely impaired. This is demonstrated in a study conducted by scientists from the University of California, USA.
"This is because birth control pills work by reducing estrogen and progesterone to prevent pregnancy. Though this is a chemical compound that has been associated with women's ability to recall events in a logical" explains Larry Cahill, a neurobiologist who became one of the researchers.
By changing the balance of female hormones, oral contraceptives change the way the women to recall information. Those who take birth control pills tend to remember details of events to complete, but not in detail the impact of emotions.
This is evident from the experiments conducted by researchers of the few women consuming oral contraceptives are then compared with women not taking birth control pills. Seen those who do not take birth control pills to remember an incident in more detail, even to the impact caused by traumatic or emotional event.
The results of this study also raises its own questions about how birth control pills can affect the bulk of women in the world who use it, especially in women who work.
Mothers who breastfeed their babies exclusively for at least 6 months, a small risk of developing hypertension later in life. Although it does not show a direct cause of high blood pressure, these findings add to evidence that breastfeeding is beneficial to both mother and baby. This study has been published in the American Journal of Epidemiology.
Breastfeeding has many benefits, such as protecting babies against diseases such as diarrhea and middle ear infections. Even in previous studies, it is known that breastfeeding can reduce the risk of diabetes, high cholesterol and heart disease in women later in life.
"Women who do not breastfeed are more prone to hypertension than women who breastfeed exclusively for at least 6 months or more," writes researcher Alison Stuebe, of the University of North Carolina, as reported by Reuters.
In this study, the correlation between breast-feeding with risk of high blood pressure in 56 000 American women observed by Stuebe and his team. All women participants respondents have at least one baby.
Overall, this study shows that women who breastfeed their babies for at least 6 months of the small risk of hypertension over the next 14 years compared with mothers who only bottle feeding. Meanwhile, nearly 9,000 women diagnosed with hypertension. Mothers who do not breastfeed their babies have a 22% higher risk than mothers who breastfeed exclusively.
Stuebe said there were no findings that prove that the long-term breast-feeding provides protection against hypertension. However, in studies in animals, it was found that the hormone oxytocin, has a direct effect on blood pressure.
A nursing mother to ask what impact taking regular birth control pills after giving birth? What's the answer?
Doctors Amran Harun SpA, Specialist Children's Hospital Belfast Husada Graha said, taking birth control pills had no effect on breast-feeding mothers. Allowed to continue to consume pills no complaints from the production of milk

Who would not like to see a handsome man? Besides being a magnet in attracting the opposite sex, was behind the unsightly appearance, the stored power of the body's immune system in their bodies.
In a study published in the journal Nature Communication mention men who have testosterone levels is not only handsome, but also have a strong immune response.
Women are naturally more attracted to men brave because it also showed good health status.
Research conducted Fhionna Moore of England carried out involving Latvia 74 men aged 20 years earlier. The study participants were blood samples taken before and after vaccination with hepatitis B.
The vaccine will stimulate antibody production against the virus. Then the researchers measured levels of antibodies and the levels of testosterone and the hormone cortisol.
Latvia then 94 women aged 20 years were asked to rate the looks of the men in the scale 10 as the highest value. Furthermore the choice of the women were associated with higher levels of antibodies and the men's hormone levels.
Apparently, the guy that high testosterone levels are relatively handsome and has a robust immune response. So, not only capital but also the handsome face of a more vibrant health.
