Migrants, or those who migrated from rural to urban areas for work, tend to be at risk of obesity and diabetes than their brethren who remained at home.

In a study involving 6510 participants from India in the north, south and center, found the conclusion that half of the migrant experience weight gain between six and seven to ten pounds in the year of their move.

“We do not see an extreme change, but half of those who move the average weight has increased by six to seven kilograms,” said study leader Shah Ebrahim, as quoted by The Straits Times, Wednesday (04/28/2010) .

Ebrahim, who serves as Director of the South Asian Network for Chronic Disease in New Delhi, India, regarded this as a dramatic improvement. In fact, he says, some people experience an increase greater weight than that.

“The main reason for an increase in body weight that is greater intake of calories needed to sustain physical activity. We have proof that they tend to consume more fat than people in rural areas,” explains Ebrahim.

Possibly, this is because they have more money to buy whatever food they want. “We also found, not the kind of western food that is the cause but rather their own traditional food,” he added.

Studies published in medical journal PLoS Medicine this survey of migrant workers who make a living in the four factories. Migrants risk three to four times and twice overweight are more susceptible to diabetes, hypertension and high blood sugar levels than their brethren who remain working in rural areas.

Number of animal viruses that infected humans continue to become more frequent, it would have an impact on human anxiety increasingly anxious and worried when their pets. According to experts, the situation is also linked to global warming.

Global warming brings many negative impacts on the lives of the world, where the victim is not only humans, but there are living beings, including animals.

Zoonic disease or disease of reciprocity, its spread is quite high. Told by the dean and professor of microbiology and immunology, from the Bogor Institute of Agriculture faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Wayan Teguh, that many diseases that can be contracted from animals. “As many as 75 percent of disease from animals,” said Wayan.

Field says, it happens because the imbalance that occurs in nature has been adversely impacted because it gives opportunity to the viruses found in animals to adapt to new environments that have been damaged.

“This causes the viruses can easily move from animals to humans,” he explained. Field added, causing an imbalance occurs due to natural changes in the environment due to deforestation, the pressure caused by the hunting of wild animals and so forth.

“Changes in the environment so that further damage the ecosystem of natural disbalance,” he explained. It is said Wayan, zoonic disease is a viral disease that comes from animals to humans and to animals.

“The disease is there which has two pleasures. He can be happy in humans. He can attack animals and humans, depending on the virus itself,” he explained.

Illnesses arising from viruses that come from animals that include bird flu virus could become H5SN1 a remarkable incident in Indonesia, also lestopirosis derived from rat urine and generally widespread during the flood season arrives, the contracting of rabies virus saliva of infected animals are usually from dogs.

IN the human body, there are endocrine glands which apparently can also affect mental health. Disturbances in these glands leads to an unreasonable action.

The level of criminality in Indonesia, especially in large cities, increasing only. Look at crime in television news, which seemed endless. Ironically, a crime like murder is sometimes only triggered by trivial things. For example a person can kill his friend just because his friend the television too loud, I really do not make sense. Violence seems to have become part of our everyday lives.

From the trivial to that culminate in death. Culture of violence or crime as if it has become our lifestyle, can also be said to follow even our lives. What makes people lose their senses? Recently there was an outcome of research that says that the loss of positive thoughts, feelings, and positive human consciousness that happens because endocrine disorders that can also cause humans to do evil.

“The role of glands that regulate metabolism is therefore an essential role in human health,” said drg Frissa Iswandi who also got to do research.

Research that has been registered at the Ministry of IPRs was done for almost five years, with male and female respondents. “That became the beginning of this research is that I wonder why the problem of evil happens so often lately,” said the head of research, Ir Harsono MBA.

From the results of its research, it turns out crimes because of the loss of one’s reason is affected endocrine glands. These glands that secrete chemicals called hormones in the bloodstream that greatly affects the body or mind.

“Well, all acts of human evil, the results of research proving that it all happened because of endocrine disruption. We suspect that this interference has played a part so that humans may not be aware of the moral, ethical, legal, manners, can not think or analyze a situation , “he explained.

Harsono said, respondents who experience this disorder are healthy people, may of activism, to transact business, learn, roads, all of which look like no problem.

Because these disorders interfere with memory, memory, and power a person thinks, it also lost the ability to analyze problems. This disease can be felt in the short or long term. “So, they are attacked by the disease can lose awareness of the moral, ethical, legal, good manners but also be just a moment longer, consciousness and mind can actually missing,” he said.

Suggested VL, for those who are tortured, not feeling, suffering, stress, or often, and could hear strange noises in the ears (hallucinations), then provide a room free of noise or commotion, in every room that you can put some goods such as televisions, sound systems, newspapers, cell phones, stationery, or video games.

Do it if you feel calm and comfortable, for example, watching television. But if you are disturbed, turn off the television immediately and replace them with other activities such as reading a newspaper.

“Just do the things that can make you calm and comfortable. You can choose other activities such as sleep or you can choose another room if the room you enter, you feel very miserable, stressful, uncomfortable,” he said.

If still feeling miserable, edgy, depressed, try to get one of your family members. You can choose your family members who do not make you miserable, stressed, or uncomfortable while accompanying their Anda.Ajaklah to chat, so you can feel comfortable and enjoyable.

? We suspect that we’ve all been attacked by the disease due to endocrine disruption ini.Responden from the research that we chose at random, and the result of more than 99% had been infected this disease,? He said. Responding to the research, mental health professionals from Omni International Hospital Alam Sutera, Tangerang, dr Andri SpKJ added that consists of multiple endocrine glands, the adrenal, pituitary, ovaries, testes, thyroid, and parathyroid.

One of the group of endocrine glands are most related to human behavior is the body’s systems adrenal.Dalam gland, adrenal gland consists of two parts called the adrenal cortex and adrenal medulla. Each of these glands produce hormones that are different, but have similar functions, which affect human behavior system.

“Adrenal medulla produces adrenaline and noradrenaline, the hormone is important in regulating the function of ‘fight or flight’ in humans,” explained the doctor, who also teaches at the University Christian Krida This discourse.

Still said Andri, these hormones regulate human behavior in the face of danger. Together with other hormones, on the condition of the dangers that threaten the hormone adrenaline to be issued to create a standby from the man.

No wonder when we are experiencing the fear caused by something, then the security of our bodies is to increase blood pressure and blood sugar, the heart becomes more rapid, and muscles to work more optimally.

“In patients who experience anxiety, the work of the hormone adrenaline is somewhat outside the norm, the patient may complain of symptoms above are not even going to worry or objects that trigger anxiety. These conditions can be found in patients with panic disorder,” says medical graduates University of Indonesia.

Meanwhile, the adrenal cortex is the part of the adrenal glands that secrete the hormone cortisol, which is often referred to as stress hormones. This happens because the people who experience stress, the cortisol levels in the blood increases. Increased hormone cortisol is bad for health because it would interfere with other body systems.

Andrew explained that in medicine, particularly psychiatry, the technical term Adrenal Hypothalamus pituitary axis. These systems are affected if the stress comes out and finally the active hormone cortisol.

“In the last meeting among the psychiatrists who are interested in the field of neuroscience and psikofarmakologi in Malaysia in 2007 that I follow, one professor said that because of this condition, the depression is no longer referred to as a brain disease (brain disease). Epresi is a systemic disease that can be affects the whole body (systemic disease) due to the influence of stress hormones that can work everywhere, “he concluded

Bullying or violence against teenagers more senior juniors apparently also occurs through the Internet media. Through the words of hatred, e-mail threats, and gossip in the virtual space, to the victims who are mostly younger teens or juniors at the school.

“Internet bullying is very dangerous and became a phenomenon resulting from social conditions are not right,” said Kirk Williams and Nancy Guerra of the University of California, who published these findings in the Journal of Adolescent Healt, Wednesday (28/11/2007).

Even the Internet trend of bullying in adolescents aged 10-17 years in the United States (U.S.) from 2000 to 2005 continued to increase. Based on reports the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the improvement reached 50%. In 2000 there were only 6% in 2005 rising to 9%.

“The violence teens through online media is increasing every year. It can be seen from the increasing reports of arrests of action, violence and kidnappings in the school every year,” said Michele Ybarra of Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore Ybarra found 64% of teenagers confessed often become victims of internet bullying despite never get physically or verbally attacks in everyday life.

It was based on interviews he had done to 1500 adolescents aged between 10-15 years. “This problem should receive special attention, adolescents who become victims of internet abuse increased eight times,” said Ybarra.

To prevent violence against youth in the virtual world needs cooperation of compact between teachers at the school and parents in rumah.Tindak prevention must also be wise not to forbid students to use the Internet. Because, the Internet also has a positive side to get the information that supports education.

“The main thing we recommend is that parents are often in dialogue with the children. Parents must provide understanding to the use of the Internet must pay attention to good manners and polite manner,” says Corinne David-Ferdon and Marci Feldman Hertz from the U.S. Centers

Moreover, according to Patricia Agatston from Clemson University, South Carolina, most teenagers who get bullying action through the virtual world rarely want to convey to parents. They do so for fear of losing the freedom to use the internet.

Hertz also recommends that schools take preventive steps to suppress the effects of Internet bullying. For example, working with police to violence in cyberspace can not continue in everyday life.

Internet usage behavior and overseeing students in the school more rigorous. In order for the Internet used for education and their future, not for the means of playing games or looking for personal enjoyment.

“This technology provides many benefits for teens. They can socialize with other people and it must be monitored so as not to be misused to threaten other people,” Hertz said in the U.S. Schools that implement an integrated monitoring with police to prevent such internet bullying schools in Florida, South Carolina, Utah, and Oregon.

ONLY one percent of Indonesian people who understand GERD, a health problem caused by stomach acid that suffered the overflow of four million people of Indonesia. Gastric acid in sufficient quantities needed for the body to digest food properly.

However, if excessive stomach acid that should reside in the stomach can spill out of the valve to the stomach and spread to other body organs.

Disease specialists from the division of Gastroenterology in the Department of internal medicine in FKUI / RSCM Jakarta, Dr. Ari Fahrial Sham H SpPD KGEH MMB, disclose, diseases caused by stomach acid is generally about three locations, ie, duodenum, stomach, and esophagus.

Dyspepsia or ulcer disease characterized by pain or burning in the stomach may have been popular in the public ear. Another case with GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) which may still foreign in the layman’s ear. According to the Montreal Definition, GERD is defined as the presence of backflow (reflux) of stomach contents into the esophagus that cause annoying symptoms until complications occur.

“The main complaint is a burning sensation (heartburn) in the pectoral spine, which is sometimes accompanied by bitter or feel sick like vomiting caused by stomach acid going up into the esophagus,” said Ari in a health talk show about GERD is held by PT AstraZeneca Indonesia in Jakarta, Monday ( 05/04/2009).

Backflow is not only trigger GERD syndrome is characterized as burning chest pain before, but also cause injury to the esophagus (esophagitis). Another impact is the atypical syndrome (such as asthma reflux) that can interfere with daily activities and difficult to treat. Reflux esophagitis is itself a process of erosion or damage to the wall of the esophagus caused by frequent exposure to stomach acid.

If not treated properly, can cause complications such as stricture and bleeding in the esophagus, and a condition called Barrett’s esophagus, which occurs on the wall of the esophagus tissue formation as that found in the intestines.

“Injury to the esophagus if it had continued without a handle in the long term could potentially trigger esophageal cancer,” he said.

Ari warned, GERD is a chronic disease that can lead to complications that may reduce the quality of life for patients. Symptoms of GERD is very vague and general, although there are some that could be identified as specificity. Not surprisingly, patients often liken the treatment for cases who experienced the-counter medicines on the market (over the counter / OTC).

Likewise, the subtle symptoms often makes patients or even doctors wrong. For example, someone who has not got hoarse voice caused by respiratory tract infections caused by viruses, for example, stomach acid may be problematic.

“When a cough or a cold, stomach acid also tends to increase. If there are symptoms like every morning taste in the mouth, chest discomfort, especially accompanied by weight loss, you are exposed to suspect the possibility of GERD,” Ari said as she revealed GERD attacks can occur several times in a day, despite the production of stomach acid typically peak at 22:00 to 23:00 (night).

GERD can strike anyone regardless of age group. However, until now unknown prevalence of GERD is uncertain. In Western countries about 10 percent-20 percent of the adult population experiencing heartburn on a regular basis every week. While in East Asia the figure ranges from two percent, six percent.

A number of reflux esophagitis among the estimated 50-65 percent of patients perceived by GERD. Currently in Indonesia is also no certain number of patients with GERD. However, according to Ari, from which can be traced to the base hospital, there are about 20 percent of the total patients examined at the Department of internal medicine in GERD symptom complaints, ranging mild to severe levels.

Similar expressed Medical Affair PT AstraZeneca Indonesia, Dr. Mary Josephine. According to him, the understanding of GERD in Indonesia is still very low, ie only one per cent. This figure is much smaller compared to other Asian countries like the Philippines (17 percent) and Taiwan (13 percent). Though, currently about four million people Indonesia esophageal GERD, without knowing how the management methods

Plural audible cries little explosive, when immunized. Well, lest your baby’s pain.

Now, a new report recommends that doctors and nurses to give the sugar solution prior to immunization in infants aged 0-1 years. Research shows that small amounts of sucrose or glucose-a few drops or half a teaspoon-in solution can reduce the pain.

In its latest report, released online in the Archives of Disease in Childhood, researchers Canadian, Australian, and Brazilian reviewed 14 studies that examined 1674 injections to babies one year or under one year of age. In 13 studies, infants fed a sugar solution is reduced crying after immunization.
