The Better Sex Diet

CoSKuN — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:42:27 +0000

Need to spice up your sex life? All the ingredients you need may be found at your local grocery store.

Like many aspects of health, our sex drive is affected by what we put into our bodies. Certain foods affect the body in different ways. Depending on what you consume, wining and dining a date can induce more sleep than romance. A big, fancy dinner, a bottle of wine and fine chocolates may sound sweet–but such meals are actually little more than empty calories.

To really get your blood going, consider circulation-enhancing dishes. Food that’s high in Omega-3 fatty acids such as mackerel, salmon and wild salmon are best. “Omega-3 makes your nervous system function better,” says Dr. Barbara Bartlik, assistant professor of psychiatry and sex therapist with the Human Sexuality Program at Weill Cornell Medical Center. “Sex is really about circuitry.” Multivitamins and minerals will help, too. Both improve neurological function, which contributes to good circulation.

In Pictures: The Better Sex Diet

Improved circulation results in greater erectile response. To accomplish that, go for food rich in L-Arginine, such as granola, oatmeal, peanuts, cashews, walnuts, dairy, green vegetables, root vegetables, garlic, ginseng, soybeans, chickpeas and seeds. Studies show that L-Arginine is helpful for improving sexual function in men. There haven’t been studies done on women–but remember, erectile response isn’t just a guy thing. “Women have erections too: in their clitoris and the tissue surrounding the vulva,” says Bartlik.

Humans have sought ways to enhance or improve their sex lives for millennia–and have never been reluctant to spend money to make themselves better lovers. The ancient Romans were said to prefer such exotic aphrodisiacs as hippo snouts and hyena eyeballs. Traditional Chinese medicine espoused the use of such rare delicacies as rhino horn. Modern lovers are no less extravagant. In 2005, for example, according to Amsterdam-based health care information company Wolters Kluwer, Americans spent just under $1.4 billion to treat male sexual dysfunction disorders alone.

Of that amount, Viagra rang up $1.2 billion in sales for Pfizer, or 60% of the total market. Among the other drugs trying to find their way into American’s bedside tables and back pockets are Levitra, which is made by Bayer but marketed in the U.S. by GlaxoSmithKline and Schering-Plough, and Cialis, which was jointly developed by Eli Lilly.

Aphrodisiacs, for the most part, have been shown to be ineffective. Named for Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of sex and beauty, these include an array of herbs, foods and other “agents” that are said to awaken and heighten sexual desire. But the 5,000-year tradition of using them is based more on folklore than real science. “There is no data and no scientific evidence,” says Leonore Tiefer, clinical associate professor of psychiatry at the New York University School of Medicine. “Product pushers are very eager to capitalize on myths,” she says.

Most libido-enhancing products offer short term benefit at best, according to Dr. John Mulhall, director of the Sexual Medicine Program at New York Presbyterian and associate professor of urology at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University. Mulhall, who also sits on the Nutraceuticals Committee of the Sexual Medicine Society of North America, says, “Every year, we review the literature on these compounds–these nutraceuticals like nitric oxide and ginseng–and there are none that have really been shown to be more than a placebo.”

When it comes to sexual function, the placebo effect probably accounts for 30% of improvements in men and around 50% in women, he says. That means there are a lot of people out there who believe a pill they are taking or a food they are eating is doing a lot of good for them sexually. In reality, their mind is doing all the work.

So, besides renting The Story of O and opening a bottle of red wine, what can people do to kick-start their sex life?

One thing they can do is change their diet. Soy, for example, binds estrogen receptors, which helps the vaginal area remain lubricated and combats symptoms of menopause–particularly hot flashes. Studies have shown that soy is also beneficial to the prostate, a crucial male sex organ. However, it’s important to note that women who have a history of breast cancer should not eat large amounts of soy, because the binding of estrogen receptors actually increases the risk of reoccurrence.

Foods that promote weight loss also hold libido-boosting potential. “There has been very solid research showing that obesity is a risk factor for erectile dysfunction and low testosterone,” says Dr. Ridwan Shabsigh, director of the New York Center for Human Sexuality and associate professor of urology at Columbia University’s medical school. “Reducing weight,” he says, “results in an increase of testosterone, and thus an increase in sexual function.”

“From an erection standpoint, anything that’s good for your heart is good for your penis,” says Dr. Mulhall. Too much saturated fat can, over time, clog arteries and, in doing so, prevent an adequate flow of blood from reaching the genital region. This not only interferes with the ability to perform, but also with sexual pleasure. Too little fat, on the other hand, is also bad.

“You need fat to produce your hormones,” says Beverly Whipple, professor emerita at Rutgers University and president of the World Association for Sexology. “Cholesterol is metabolized in the liver, and you get your testosterone and estrogen, which you need for your sex drive,” she says. Olive oil, salmon and nuts are optimal sources of the “good” kinds of fats–monounsaturated and polyunsaturated.

According to Dr. Judith Reichman, author of I’m Not in the Mood: What Every Woman Should Known about Improving Her Libido, medical and hormonal problems are major contributors to sexual dysfunction and a low libido–but so are too much stress, relationship difficulties and psychological issues. Antidepressants, such as Prozac by GlaxoSmithKline and Paxil by Eli Lilly, can negatively affect sex drive as well.

Women’s Sexual Health Issues Hit Home

CoSKuN — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:38:57 +0000

THURSDAY, June 25 (HealthDay News) — A new survey finds that 70 percent of American women have experienced a sexual health issue, and 22 percent felt very or extremely concerned about it.

The survey defined a sexual health issue as any one of the following conditions: lack of desire for sexual activity, inability to become sexually aroused, inability to have an orgasm, pain during intercourse, vaginal dryness, or excessive desire for sexual activity.

Women who reported a sexual health issue said it had an effect on their romantic relationships (44 percent), self-esteem (43 percent) and mental health (42 percent). Sexual health issues also caused stress and anxiety in 66 percent of those surveyed, and affected sleeping habits in 28 percent and weight in 25 percent, the researchers found.

When they wanted to get information about sexual health issues, 35 percent used the Internet and 32 percent turned to their partner. While many women said they’d be comfortable discussing a sexual health issue with a health-care provider, only 18 percent actually saw a health-care provider when they had a sexual health issue, the findings showed.

The survey, released Thursday, was commissioned by the National Women’s Health Resource Center (NWHRC) and the Association of Reproductive Health Professionals (ARHP). The survey was sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals Inc.

“Given the number of women who experience sexual health issues, it is important to provide them with accurate, unbiased information on conditions they may encounter throughout their lifetime,” Elizabeth Battaglino Cahill, executive director of the NWHRC, said in a news release from the center.

“Fortunately, many sexual health issues can be successfully addressed through education, lifestyle changes, counseling and treatment, and we encourage women to talk with their partner and their health-care provider,” Cahill said.

“Health-care providers today have more resources than ever to help women understand and maximize their healthy sexuality throughout the age span,” noted Dr. Beth Jordan, medical director of the ARHP. “It is critical for women to understand the basics of female sexual response and the myriad, and often emotional, factors that impact their sense of sexuality.”

AIDS Related Lymphoma Treatment Patient Information

CoSKuN — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:35:24 +0000

AIDS-Related Lymphoma Treatment

General Information About AIDS-Related Lymphoma

AIDS-related lymphoma is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the lymph system of patients who have acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

AIDS is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which attacks and weakens the body’s immune system. The immune system is then unable to fight infection and diseases that invade the body. People with HIV disease have an increased risk of developing infections, lymphoma, and other types of cancer. A person with HIV disease who develops certain types of infections or cancer is then diagnosed with AIDS. Sometimes, people are diagnosed with AIDS and AIDS-related lymphoma at the same time. For information about AIDS and its treatment, please see the AIDSinfo Web site.

Lymphomas are cancers that affect the white blood cells of the lymph system, part of the body’s immune system. The lymph system is made up of the following:

Lymph: Colorless, watery fluid that travels through the lymph system and carries white bloodcells called lymphocytes. Lymphocytes protect the body against infections and the growth of tumors.
Lymph vessels: A network of thin tubes that collect lymph from different parts of the body and return it to the bloodstream.
Lymph nodes: Small, bean-shaped structures that filter lymph and store white blood cells that help fight infection and disease. Lymph nodes are located along the network of lymph vessels found throughout the body. Clusters of lymph nodes are found in the underarm, pelvis, neck, abdomen, and groin.
Spleen: An organ that makes lymphocytes, filters the blood, stores blood cells, and destroys old blood cells. The spleen is on the left side of the abdomen near the stomach.
Thymus: An organ in which lymphocytes grow and multiply. The thymus is in the chest behind the breastbone.
Tonsils: Two small masses of lymph tissue at the back of the throat. The tonsils make lymphocytes.
Bone marrow: The soft, spongy tissue in the center of large bones. Bone marrow makes white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets.

Anatomy of the lymph system, showing the lymph vessels and lymph organs including lymph nodes, tonsils, thymus, spleen, and bone marrow. Lymph (clear fluid) and lymphocytes travel through the lymph vessels and into the lymph nodes where the lymphocytes destroy harmful substances. The lymph enters the blood through a large vein near the heart.

There are many different types of lymphoma.

Lymphomas are divided into two general types: Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Both Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma may occur in AIDS patients, but non-Hodgkin lymphoma is more common. When a person with AIDS has non-Hodgkin lymphoma, it is called an AIDS-related lymphoma.

For more information, see the following PDQ summaries:

Adult Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Treatment
Childhood Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Treatment
Primary CNS Lymphoma Treatment

AIDS-related lymphomas grow and spread quickly.

Non-Hodgkin lymphomas are grouped by the way their cells look under a microscope. They may be indolent (slow-growing) or aggressive (fast-growing). AIDS-related lymphoma is usually aggressive. There are three main types of AIDS-related lymphoma:

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
B-cellimmunoblastic lymphoma.
Small non-cleaved cell lymphoma.

Possible signs of AIDS-related lymphoma include weight loss, fever, and night sweats.

These and other symptoms may be caused by AIDS-related lymphoma. Other conditions may cause the same symptoms. A doctor should be consulted if any of the following problems occur:

Weight loss or fever for no known reason.
Night sweats. (For more information, see the PDQ summary on Fever, Sweats, and Hot Flashes.)
Painless, swollen lymph nodes in the neck, chest, underarm, or groin.
A feeling of fullness below the ribs.

Tests that examine the body and lymph system are used to help detect (find) and diagnose AIDS-related lymphoma.

The following tests and procedures may be used:

Physical exam and history: An exam of the body to check general signs of health, including checking for signs of disease, such as lumps or anything else that seems unusual. A history of the patient’s health habits and past illnesses and treatments will also be taken.
Complete blood count (CBC): A procedure in which a sample of blood is drawn and checked for the following:
- The number of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
- The amount of hemoglobin (the protein that carries oxygen) in the red blood cells.
- The portion of the sample made up of red blood cells.
Complete blood count (CBC). Blood is collected by inserting a needle into a vein and allowing the blood to flow into a tube. The blood sample is sent to the laboratory and the red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets are counted. The CBC is used to test for, diagnose, and monitor many different conditions.
Lymph node biopsy: The removal of all or part of a lymph node. A pathologist views the tissue under a microscope to look for cancer cells. One of the following types of biopsies may be done:
- Excisional biopsy: The removal of an entire lymph node.
- Incisional biopsy: The removal of part of a lymph node.
- Core biopsy: The removal of tissue from a lymph node using a wide needle.
- Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy: The removal of tissue from a lymph node using a thin needle.
Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy: The removal of bone marrow, blood, and a small piece of bone by inserting a hollow needle into the hipbone or breastbone. A pathologist views the bone marrow, blood, and bone under a microscope to look for abnormal cells.

Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy. After a small area of skin is numbed, a Jamshidi needle (a long, hollow needle) is inserted into the patient’s hip bone. Samples of blood, bone, and bone marrow are removed for examination under a microscope.
HIV test: A test to measure the level of HIV antibodies in a sample of blood. Antibodies are made by the body when it is invaded by a foreign substance. A high level of HIV antibodies may mean the body has been infected with HIV.
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) test: A test to measure the level of EBV antibodies in a sample of blood, tissue, or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Antibodies are made by the body when it is invaded by a foreign substance. A high level of EBV antibodies may mean the body has been infected with EBV.
Chest x-ray: An x-ray of the organs and bones inside the chest. An x-ray is a type of energy beam that can go through the body and onto film, making a picture of areas inside the body.

Certain factors affect prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options.

The prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options depend on the following:

The stage of the cancer.
The number of CD4 lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) in the blood.
Whether the patient has ever had AIDS-related infections.
The patient’s ability to carry out regular daily activities.

Stages of AIDS-Related Lymphoma

After AIDS-related lymphoma has been diagnosed, tests are done to find out if cancer cells have spread within the lymph system or to other parts of the body.

The process used to find out if cancercells have spread within the lymph system or to other parts of the body is called staging. The information gathered from the staging process determines the stage of the disease. It is important to know the stage in order to plan treatment, but AIDS-relatedlymphoma is usually advanced when it is diagnosed. The following tests and procedures may be used in the staging process:

CT scan (CAT scan): A procedure that makes a series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body, taken from different angles. The pictures are made by a computer linked to an x-ray machine. A dye may be injected into a vein or swallowed to help the organs or tissues show up more clearly. This procedure is also called computed tomography, computerized tomography, or computerized axial tomography.
PET scan (positron emission tomography scan): A procedure to find malignanttumor cells in the body. A small amount of radioactiveglucose (sugar) is injected into a vein. The PET scanner rotates around the body and makes a picture of where glucose is being used in the body. Malignant tumor cells show up brighter in the picture because they are more active and take up more glucose than normal cells do.
MRI (magnetic resonance imaging): A procedure that uses a magnet, radio waves, and a computer to make a series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body. A substance called gadolinium is injected into the patient through a vein. The gadolinium collects around the cancer cells so they show up brighter in the picture. This procedure is also called nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMRI).
Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy: The removal of bone marrow, blood, and a small piece of bone by inserting a hollow needle into the hipbone or breastbone. A pathologist views the bone marrow, blood, and bone under a microscope to look for abnormal cells.
Lumbar puncture: A procedure used to collect cerebrospinal fluid from the spinal column. This is done by placing a needle into the spinal column. This procedure is also called an LP or spinal tap.

Lumbar puncture. A patient lies in a curled position on a table. After a small area on the lower back is numbed, a spinal needle (a long, thin needle) is inserted into the lower part of the spinal column to remove cerebrospinal fluid (CSF, shown in blue). The fluid may be sent to a laboratory for testing.
Blood chemistry studies: A procedure in which a blood sample is checked to measure the amounts of certain substances released into the blood by organs and tissues in the body. An unusual (higher or lower than normal) amount of a substance can be a sign of disease in the organ or tissue that makes it. The blood sample will be checked for the level of LDH (lactate dehydrogenase).

There are three ways that cancer spreads in the body.

The three ways that cancer spreads in the body are:

Through tissue. Cancer invades the surrounding normal tissue.
Through the lymph system. Cancer invades the lymph system and travels through the lymph vessels to other places in the body.
Through the blood. Cancer invades the veins and capillaries and travels through the blood to other places in the body.

When cancer cells break away from the primary (original) tumor and travel through the lymph or blood to other places in the body, another (secondary) tumor may form. This process is called metastasis. The secondary (metastatic) tumor is the same type of cancer as the primary tumor. For example, if breast cancer spreads to the bones, the cancer cells in the bones are actually breast cancer cells. The disease is metastatic breast cancer, not bone cancer.

Stages of AIDS-related lymphoma may include E and S.

AIDS-related lymphoma may be described as follows:

E: “E” stands for extranodal and means the cancer is found in an area or organ other than the lymph nodes or has spread to tissues beyond, but near, the major lymphatic areas.
S: “S” stands for spleen and means the cancer is found in the spleen.

The following stages are used for AIDS-related lymphoma:

Stage I

Stage I AIDS-related lymphoma is divided into stage I and stage IE.

Stage I: Cancer is found in one lymph node group.
Stage IE: Cancer is found in an area or organ other than the lymph nodes.

Stage II

Stage II AIDS-related lymphoma is divided into stage II and stage IIE.

Stage II: Cancer is found in two or more lymph node groups on the same side of the diaphragm (the thin muscle below the lungs that helps breathing and separates the chest from the abdomen).
Stage IIE: Cancer is found in an area or organ other than the lymph nodes and in lymph nodes near that area or organ, and may have spread to other lymph node groups on the same side of the diaphragm.

Stage III

Stage III AIDS-related lymphoma is divided into stage III, stage IIIE, stage IIIS, and stage IIIS+E.

Stage III: Cancer is found in lymph node groups on both sides of the diaphragm (the thin muscle below the lungs that helps breathing and separates the chest from the abdomen).
Stage IIIE: Cancer is found in lymph node groups on both sides of the diaphragm and in an area or organ other than the lymph nodes.
Stage IIIS: Cancer is found in lymph node groups on both sides of the diaphragm and in the spleen.
Stage IIIS+E: Cancer is found in lymph node groups on both sides of the diaphragm, in an area or organ other than the lymph nodes, and in the spleen.

Stage IV

In stage IV AIDS-related lymphoma, the cancer either:

is found throughout one or more organs other than the lymph nodes and may be in lymph nodes near those organs; or
is found in one organ other than the lymph nodes and has spread to lymph nodes far away from that organ.

Patients who are infected with the Epstein-Barr virus or whose AIDS-related lymphoma affects the bone marrow have an increased risk of the cancer spreading to the central nervous system (CNS).

For treatment, AIDS-related lymphomas are grouped based on where they started in the body, as follows:

Peripheral/systemic lymphoma

Lymphoma that starts in lymph nodes or other organs of the lymph system is called peripheral/systemic lymphoma. The lymphoma may spread throughout the body, including to the brain or bone marrow.

Primary CNS lymphoma

Primary CNS lymphoma starts in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). Lymphoma that starts somewhere else in the body and spreads to the central nervous system is not primary CNS lymphoma.

Treatment Option Overview

There are different types of treatment for patients with AIDS-related lymphoma.

Different types of treatment are available for patients with AIDS-relatedlymphoma. Some treatments are standard (the currently used treatment), and some are being tested in clinical trials. A treatment clinical trial is a research study meant to help improve current treatments or obtain information on new treatments for patients with cancer. When clinical trials show that a new treatment is better than the standard treatment, the new treatment may become the standard treatment. Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.

Treatment of AIDS-related lymphoma combines treatment of the lymphoma with treatment for AIDS.

Patients with AIDS have weakened immune systems and treatment can cause further damage. For this reason, patients who have AIDS-related lymphoma are usually treated with lower doses of drugs than lymphoma patients who do not have AIDS.

Highly-active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is used to slow progression of HIV (which is a retrovirus). Treatment with HAART may allow some patients to safely receive anticancer drugs in standard or higher doses. Medicine to prevent and treat infections, which can be serious, is also used.

AIDS-related lymphoma usually grows faster than lymphoma that is not AIDS-related and it is more likely to spread to other parts of the body. In general, AIDS-related lymphoma is harder to treat.

For more information about AIDS and its treatment, please see the AIDSinfo Web site.

Three types of standard treatment are used:

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. When chemotherapy is taken by mouth or injected into a vein or muscle, the drugs enter the bloodstream and can reach cancer cells throughout the body (systemic chemotherapy). When chemotherapy is placed directly into the spinal column (intrathecal chemotherapy), an organ, or a body cavity such as the abdomen, the drugs mainly affect cancer cells in those areas (regional chemotherapy). Combination chemotherapy is treatment using more than one anticancer drug. The way the chemotherapy is given depends on the type and stage of the cancer being treated.

Intrathecal chemotherapy may be used in patients who are more likely to have lymphoma in the central nervous system (CNS).

Intrathecal chemotherapy. Anticancer drugs are injected into the intrathecal space, which is the space that holds the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF, shown in blue). There are two different ways to do this. One way, shown in the top part of the figure, is to inject the drugs into an Ommaya reservoir (a dome-shaped container that is placed under the scalp during surgery; it holds the drugs as they flow through a small tube into the brain). The other way, shown in the bottom part of the figure, is to inject the drugs directly into the CSF in the lower part of the spinal column, after a small area on the lower back is numbed.

Colony-stimulating factors are sometimes given together with chemotherapy. This helps lessen the side effects chemotherapy may have on the bone marrow.

Radiation therapy

Radiation therapy is a cancer treatment that uses high-energy x-rays or other types of radiation to kill cancer cells or keep them from growing. There are two types of radiation therapy. External radiation therapy uses a machine outside the body to send radiation toward the cancer. Internal radiation therapy uses a radioactive substance sealed in needles, seeds, wires, or catheters that are placed directly into or near the cancer. The way the radiation therapy is given depends on the type and stage of the cancer being treated.

High-dose chemotherapy with stem cell transplant

High-dose chemotherapy with stem cell transplant is a method of giving high doses of chemotherapy and replacing blood-forming cells destroyed by the cancer treatment. Stem cells (immature blood cells) are removed from the blood or bone marrow of the patient or a donor and are frozen and stored. After the chemotherapy is completed, the stored stem cells are thawed and given back to the patient through an infusion. These reinfused stem cells grow into (and restore) the body’s blood cells.

New types of treatment are being tested in clinical trials.

This summary section describes treatments that are being studied in clinical trials. It may not mention every new treatment being studied. Information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.

Targeted therapy

Targeted therapy is a type of treatment that uses drugs or other substances to identify and attack specific cancer cells without harming normal cells. Monoclonal antibodytherapy is one type of targeted therapy being studied in the treatment of AIDS-related lymphoma.

Monoclonal antibody therapy is a cancer treatment that uses antibodies made in the laboratory from a single type of immune system cell. These antibodies can identify substances on cancer cells or normal substances that may help cancer cells grow. The antibodies attach to the substances and kill the cancer cells, block their growth, or keep them from spreading. Monoclonal antibodies are given by infusion. These may be used alone or to carry drugs, toxins, or radioactive material directly to cancer cells.

Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial.

For some patients, taking part in a clinical trial may be the best treatment choice. Clinical trials are part of the cancer research process. Clinical trials are done to find out if new cancer treatments are safe and effective or better than the standard treatment.

Many of today’s standard treatments for cancer are based on earlier clinical trials. Patients who take part in a clinical trial may receive the standard treatment or be among the first to receive a new treatment.

Patients who take part in clinical trials also help improve the way cancer will be treated in the future. Even when clinical trials do not lead to effective new treatments, they often answer important questions and help move research forward.

Patients can enter clinical trials before, during, or after starting their cancer treatment.

Some clinical trials only include patients who have not yet received treatment. Other trials test treatments for patients whose cancer has not gotten better. There are also clinical trials that test new ways to stop cancer from recurring (coming back) or reduce the side effects of cancer treatment.

Clinical trials are taking place in many parts of the country. See the Treatment Options section that follows for links to current treatment clinical trials. These have been retrieved from NCI’s clinical trials database.

Follow-up tests may be needed.

Some of the tests that were done to diagnose the cancer or to find out the stage of the cancer may be repeated. Some tests will be repeated in order to see how well the treatment is working. Decisions about whether to continue, change, or stop treatment may be based on the results of these tests. This is sometimes called re-staging.

Some of the tests will continue to be done from time to time after treatment has ended. The results of these tests can show if your condition has changed or if the cancer has recurred (come back). These tests are sometimes called follow-up tests or check-ups.

Treatment Options for AIDS-Related Lymphoma

A link to a list of current clinical trials is included for each treatment section. For some types or stages of cancer, there may not be any trials listed. Check with your doctor for clinical trials that are not listed here but may be right for you.

AIDS-Related Peripheral/Systemic Lymphoma

There is no standard treatment plan for AIDS-related peripheral/systemic lymphoma. Treatment is adjusted for each patient and is usually one or more of the following:

Combination chemotherapy.
High-dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplant.
A clinical trial of monoclonal antibodies.
A clinical trial of different treatment combinations.

About PDQ

PDQ IS A COMPREHENSIVE CANCER DATABASE AVAILABLE ON NCI’S WEB SITE.

PDQ is the National Cancer Institute’s (NCI’s) comprehensive cancer information database. Most of the information contained in PDQ is available online at NCI’s Web site. PDQ is provided as a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health, the federal government’s focal point for biomedical research.

PDQ CONTAINS CANCER INFORMATION SUMMARIES.

The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries are available in two versions. The health professional versions provide detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions provide current and accurate cancer information.

THE PDQ CANCER INFORMATION SUMMARIES ARE DEVELOPED BY CANCER EXPERTS AND REVIEWED REGULARLY.

Editorial Boards made up of experts in oncology and related specialties are responsible for writing and maintaining the cancer information summaries. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made as new information becomes available. The date on each summary (“Date Last Modified”) indicates the time of the most recent change.

PDQ ALSO CONTAINS INFORMATION ON CLINICAL TRIALS.

A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one treatment is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. During treatment clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new treatment and how well it works. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become “standard.” Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.

Listings of clinical trials are included in PDQ and are available online at NCI’s Web site. Descriptions of the trials are available in health professional and patient versions. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

What is HIV? What is AIDS?

CoSKuN — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:31:24 +0000

What is HIV? What is AIDS?

HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks the immune system, the body’s natural defense system. Without a strong immune system, the body has trouble fighting off disease. Both the virus and the infection it causes are called HIV.

White blood cells are an important part of the immune system. HIV invades and destroys certain white blood cells called CD4+ cells. If too many CD4+ cells are destroyed, the body can no longer defend itself against infection.

The last stage of HIV infection is AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). People with AIDS have a low number of CD4+ cells and get infections or cancers that rarely occur in healthy people. These can be deadly.

But having HIV does not mean you have AIDS. Even without treatment, it takes a long time for HIV to progress to AIDS—usually 10 to 12 years. If HIV is diagnosed before it becomes AIDS, medicines can slow or stop the damage to the immune system. With treatment, many people with HIV are able to live long and active lives.

What causes HIV?

HIV infection is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus. You can get HIV from contact with infected blood, semen, or vaginal fluids.

Most people get the virus by having unprotected sex with someone who has HIV.
Another common way of getting the virus is by sharing drug needles with someone who is infected with HIV.
The virus can also be passed from a mother to her baby during pregnancy, birth, or breast-feeding.

HIV doesn’t survive well outside the body. So it cannot be spread by casual contact such as kissing or sharing drinking glasses with an infected person.

What are the symptoms?

HIV may not cause symptoms early on. People who do have symptoms may mistake them for the flu or mono. Common early symptoms include:

Fever.
Sore throat.
Headache.
Muscle aches and joint pain.
Swollen glands (swollen lymph nodes).
Skin rash.

Symptoms may appear from a few days to several weeks after a person is first infected. The early symptoms usually go away within 2 to 3 weeks.

After the early symptoms go away, an infected person may not have symptoms again for many years. Without treatment, the virus continues to grow in the body and attack the immune system. After a certain point, symptoms reappear and then remain. These symptoms usually include:

Swollen lymph nodes.
Extreme tiredness.
Weight loss.
Fever.
Night sweats.

A doctor may suspect HIV if these symptoms last and no other cause can be found.

Treatment usually keeps the virus under control and helps the immune system stay healthy.

How is HIV diagnosed?

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved tests that detect HIV antibodies in urine, fluid from the mouth (oral fluid), or blood. If a test on urine or oral fluid shows that you are infected with HIV, you will probably need a blood test to confirm the results. If you have been exposed to HIV, your immune system will make antibodies to try to destroy the virus. Blood tests can find these antibodies in your blood.

Most doctors use two blood tests, called the ELISA and the Western blot assay. If the first ELISA is positive (meaning that HIV antibodies are found), the blood sample is tested again. If the second test is positive, the doctor will do a Western blot to be sure.

It may take as long as 6 months for HIV antibodies to show up in a blood sample. If you think you have been exposed to HIV but you test negative for it:

Get tested again in 6 months to be sure you are not infected.
Meanwhile, take steps to prevent the spread of the virus. If you are infected, you can still pass HIV to another person during this time.

Some people are afraid to be tested for HIV. But if there is any chance you could be infected, it is very important to find out. HIV can be treated. Getting early treatment can slow down the virus and help you stay healthy. And you need to know if you are infected so you can prevent spreading the infection to other people.

You can get HIV testing in most doctors’ offices, public health clinics, hospitals, and Planned Parenthood clinics. You can also buy a home HIV test kit in a drugstore or by mail order. But be very careful to choose only a test that has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). If a home test is positive, see a doctor to have the result confirmed and to find out what to do next.

How is it treated?

The standard treatment for HIV is a combination of medicines called highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Antiretroviral medicines slow the rate at which the virus multiplies. Taking these medicines can reduce the amount of virus in your body and help you stay healthy.

It may not be easy to decide the best time to start treatment. There are pros and cons to taking HAART before you have symptoms. Discuss these with your doctor so you understand your choices.

To monitor the HIV infection and its effect on your immune system, a doctor will do two tests:

Viral load, which shows the amount of virus in your blood.
CD4+ cell count, which shows how well your immune system is working.

If you have no symptoms and your CD4+ cell count is at a healthy level, you may not need treatment yet. Your doctor will repeat the tests on a regular basis to see how you are doing. If you have symptoms, you should consider starting treatment, whatever your CD4+ count is.

After you start treatment, it is important to take your medicines exactly as directed by your doctor. When treatment doesn’t work, it is often because HIV has become resistant to the medicine. This can happen if you don’t take your medicines correctly. Ask your doctor if you have questions about your treatment.

Treatment has become much easier to follow over the past few years. New combination medicines include two or three different medicines in one pill. Many people with HIV get the treatment they need by taking just one or two pills a day.

To stay as healthy as possible during treatment:

Don’t smoke. People with HIV are more likely to have a heart attack or get lung cancer.^1,² Smoking can increase these risks even more.
Eat a healthy, balanced diet to keep your immune system strong.
Get regular exercise to reduce stress and improve the quality of your life.
Don’t use illegal drugs, and limit your use of alcohol.

Learn all you can about HIV so you can take an active role in your treatment. Your doctor can help you understand HIV and how best to treat it. Also, consider joining an HIV support group. Support groups can be a great place to share information and emotions about HIV infection.

link:http://birlog.com/what-is-hiv-what-is-aids/

How can you prevent HIV?

HIV can be spread by people who don’t know they are infected. To protect yourself and others:

Practice safe sex. Use a condom every time you have sex (including oral sex) until you are sure you and your partner are not infected with HIV.
Don’t have more than one sex partner at a time. The safest sex is with one partner who has sex only with you.
Talk to your partner before you have sex the first time. Find out if he or she is at risk for HIV. Get tested together and retested 6 months later. Use condoms in the meantime.
Don’t drink a lot of alcohol or use illegal drugs before sex. You might let down your guard and not practice safe sex.
Don’t share personal items, such as toothbrushes or razors.
Never share needles or syringes with anyone.

7 Foods That Should Never Cross Your Lips

CoSKuN — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:27:01 +0000

7 Foods That Should Never Cross Your Lips

Food scientists are shedding light on items loaded with toxins and chemicals—and simple swaps for a cleaner diet and supersized health

Clean eating means choosing fruits, vegetables and meats that are raised, grown and sold with minimal processing. Often they’re organic, and rarely (if ever) should they contain additives. But in some cases, the methods of today’s food producers are neither clean nor sustainable. The result is damage to our health, the environment, or both. So we decided to take a fresh look at food through the eyes of the people who spend their lives uncovering what’s safe—or not—to eat. We asked them a simple question: “What foods do you avoid?” Their answers don’t necessarily make up a “banned foods” list. But reaching for the suggested alternatives might bring you better health—and peace of mind.

Top 10 reasons to go organic.

What the endocrinologist won’t eat: canned tomatoes

Fredrick Vom Saal, Ph.D., is an endocrinologist at the University of Missouri who studies bisphenol-A.

The problem: The resin linings of tin cans contain bisphenol-A, a synthetic estrogen that has been linked to ailments ranging from reproductive problems to heart disease, diabetes and obesity. Unfortunately, acidity (a prominent characteristic of tomatoes) causes BPA to leach into your food. Studies show that the BPA in most people’s body exceeds the amount that suppresses sperm production or causes chromosomal damage to the eggs of animals. “You can get 50 mcg of BPA per liter out of a tomato can, and that’s a level that is going to impact people, particularly the young,” says vom Saal. “I won’t go near canned tomatoes.”

The solution: Choose tomatoes in glass bottles (which do not need resin linings), such as the brands Bionaturae and Coluccio. You can also get several types in Tetra Pak boxes, like Trader Joe’s and Pomi.

Budget tip: If your recipe allows, substitute bottled pasta sauce for canned tomatoes. Look for pasta sauces with low sodium and few added ingredients, or you may have to adjust the recipe.

Too busy to cook? Eat what the nutritionist would eat at a fast-food place.

What the farmer won’t eat: corn-fed beef

Joel Salatin is co-owner of Polyface Farms and author of half a dozen books on sustainable farming.

The problem: Cattle evolved to eat grass, not grains. But farmers today feed their animals corn and soybeans, which fatten up the animals faster for slaughter. But more money for cattle farmers (and lower prices at the grocery store) means a lot less nutrition for us. A recent comprehensive study conducted by the USDA and researchers from Clemson University found that compared with corn-fed beef, grass-fed beef is higher in beta-carotene, vitamin E, omega-3s, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), calcium, magnesium and potassium; lower in inflammatory omega-6s; and lower in saturated fats that have been linked to heart disease. “We need to respect the fact that cows are herbivores, and that does not mean feeding them corn and chicken manure,” says Salatin.

The solution: Buy grass-fed beef, which can be found at specialty grocers, farmers’ markets and nationally at Whole Foods. It’s usually labeled because it demands a premium, but if you don’t see it, ask your butcher.

Budget tip: Cuts on the bone are cheaper because processors charge extra for deboning. You can also buy direct from a local farmer, which can be as cheap as $5 per pound. To find a farmer near you, search eatwild.com

What the toxicologist won’t eat: microwave popcorn

Olga Naidenko, Ph.D., is a senior scientist for the Environmental Working Group.

The problem: Chemicals, including perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), in the lining of the bag, are part of a class of compounds that may be linked to infertility in humans, according to a recent study from UCLA. In animal testing, the chemicals cause liver, testicular and pancreatic cancer. Studies show that microwaving causes the chemicals to vaporize—and migrate into your popcorn. “They stay in your body for years and accumulate there,” says Naidenko, which is why researchers worry that levels in humans could approach the amounts causing cancers in laboratory animals. DuPont and other manufacturers have promised to phase out PFOA by 2015 under a voluntary EPA plan, but millions of bags of popcorn will be sold between now and then.

The solution: Pop natural kernels the old-fashioned way—in a skillet. For flavorings, you can add real butter or dried seasonings, such as dillweed, vegetable flakes, or soup mix.

Budget tip: Popping your own popcorn is dirt cheap.

What the farm director won’t eat: nonorganic potatoes

Jeffrey Moyer is the chair of the National Organic Standards Board.

The problem: Root vegetables absorb herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides that wind up in soil. In the case of potatoes—the nation’s most popular vegetable—they’re treated with fungicides during the growing season, then sprayed with herbicides to kill off the fibrous vines before harvesting. After they’re dug up, the potatoes are treated yet again to prevent them from sprouting. “Try this experiment: Buy a conventional potato in a store, and try to get it to sprout. It won’t,” says Moyer, who is also farm director of the Rodale Institute (also owned by Rodale Inc., the publisher of Prevention). “I’ve talked with potato growers who say point-blank they would never eat the potatoes they sell. They have separate plots where they grow potatoes for themselves without all the chemicals.”

The solution: Buy organic potatoes. Washing isn’t good enough if you’re trying to remove chemicals that have been absorbed into the flesh.

Budget tip: Organic potatoes are only $1 to $2 a pound, slightly more expensive than conventional spuds.

Potatoes get a bad rap as carbohydrates. But see why eating carbs can help you slim down—and how to do it right.

What the fisheries expert won’t eat: farmed salmon

David Carpenter, M.D., director of the Institute for Health and the Environment at the University at Albany, published a major study in the journal Science on contamination in fish.

The problem: Nature didn’t intend for salmon to be crammed into pens and fed soy, poultry litter and hydrolyzed chicken feathers. As a result, farmed salmon is lower in vitamin D and higher in contaminants, including carcinogens, PCBs, brominated flame retardants, and pesticides such as dioxin and DDT. According to Carpenter, the most contaminated fish come from Northern Europe, which can be found on American menus. “You could eat one of these salmon dinners every five months without increasing your risk of cancer,” says Carpenter, whose 2004 fish contamination study got broad media attention. “It’s that bad.” Preliminary science has also linked DDT to diabetes and obesity, but some nutritionists believe the benefits of omega-3s outweigh the risks. There is also concern about the high level of antibiotics and pesticides used to treat these fish. When you eat farmed salmon, you get dosed with the same drugs and chemicals.

The solution: Switch to wild-caught Alaska salmon. If the package says fresh Atlantic, it’s farmed. There are no commercial fisheries left for wild Atlantic salmon.

Budget tip: Canned salmon, almost exclusively from wild catch, can be found for as little as $3 a can.

Could eating fish help boost your flu immunity?

What the cancer researcher won’t drink: milk produced with artificial hormones

Rick North is project director of the Campaign for Safe Food at the Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility and former CEO of the Oregon division of the American Cancer Society.

The problem: Milk producers treat their dairy cattle with recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH or rBST, as it is also known) to boost milk production. But rBGH also increases udder infections and even pus in the milk. It also leads to higher levels of a hormone called insulin-like growth factor in milk. In people, high levels of IGF-1 may contribute to breast, prostate and colon cancers. “When the government approved rBGH, it was thought that IGF-1 from milk would be broken down in the human digestive tract,” says North. As it turns out, the casein in milk protects most of it, according to several independent studies. “There’s not 100 percent proof that this is increasing cancer in humans,” admits North. “However, it’s banned in most industrialized countries.”

The solution: Check labels for rBGH-free, rBST-free, produced without artificial hormones or organic milk. These phrases indicate rBGH-free products.

Budget tip: Try Wal-Mart’s Great Value label, which does not use rBGH.

The organic-foods expert won’t eat: conventional apples

Mark Kastel, a former executive for agribusiness, is codirector of the Cornucopia Institute, a farm-policy research group that supports organic foods.

The problem: If fall fruits held a “most doused in pesticides contest,” apples would win. Why? They are individually grafted (descended from a single tree) so that each variety maintains its distinctive flavor. As such, apples don’t develop resistance to pests and are sprayed frequently. The industry maintains that these residues are not harmful. But Kastel counters that it’s just common sense to minimize exposure by avoiding the most doused produce, like apples. “Farm workers have higher rates of many cancers,” he says. And increasing numbers of studies are starting to link a higher body burden of pesticides (from all sources) with Parkinson’s disease.

The solution: Buy organic apples.

Budget tip: If you can’t afford organic, be sure to wash and peel them. But Kastel personally refuses to compromise. “I would rather see the trade-off being that I don’t buy that expensive electronic gadget,” he says. “Just a few of these decisions will accommodate an organic diet for a family.” weight loss women’s health

Bend These Weight Loss Rules

CoSKuN — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:21:33 +0000

If living with your parents taught you anything, it’s that the more rules there are, the more you want to break them. And losing weight can seem like nothing but rules. Fortunately, rebellion has its advantages: Disregarding strict food guidelines could be the secret to a successful slim-down. A study published in the International Journal of Obesity found that people with a flexible approach to eating—one that allows for sweets and other perceived slip-ups—had a better record of maintaining weight loss than dieters with an “all or nothing” strategy. How can you do it without skidding into a diet danger zone? We got top nutrition pros to confess the supposedly vital weight-loss principles they violate. Employ their secrets to stay satisfied without gaining an ounce.

The rule: eat five small meals a day

Who breaks it: Renee Melton, R.D., director of nutrition services for the mobile weight-loss program Sensei. “My schedule doesn’t give me time to prepare healthy snacks, much less eat them, so I make sure I get what I need in three squares a day.”

Why you can, too: The “graze, don’t gorge” philosophy is based on the premise that having frequent small meals keeps your blood sugar steady, your metabolism ramped up, and your appetite in check. But some studies show a link between obesity and eating more than three times a day, most notably in women. More frequent noshing means more opportunities to overeat. Plus, says Melton, having to constantly think about what you’re going to eat can be stressful, especially for emotional eaters.

Do it right: To keep hunger pangs from overriding your willpower throughout the day, eat fiber-rich foods at mealtimes—they make you feel fuller and take longer to digest. Shoot for 21 to 25 grams a day, starting with a high-fiber grain cereal like Kashi’s GoLean with low-fat milk and fruit. For lunch and dinner, Melton says, fill half your plate with produce, a quarter with carbs, and the other quarter with lean protein.

The rule: avoid white bread, rice and pasta

Who breaks it: Christine Avanti, clinical sports nutritionist and author of Skinny Chicks Don’t Eat Salads. She was raised on homemade “white” pasta by her Italian immigrant grandparents.

Why you can, too: Carb lovers have long been warned against highly processed products because they’re believed to cause a blood sugar spike. But research published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association found that people on high-carb diets were slimmer than their pastaphobic counterparts even when they threw “bad” carbs like white bread into the mix of fiber-rich whole grains.

Trick or treat? Steer clear of these 20 worst foods in your supermarket.

Do it right: Follow the U.S. Department of Agriculture recommendation of six ounces of carbs each day, and make sure at least half come from whole grains. Then measure out a serving of refined carbs, such as a cup of cooked white pasta, and dig in guilt-free. If a single cup isn’t gonna do it for you, pair your pasta with filling protein, like a meaty red sauce made with extra-lean ground turkey.

The rule: don’t eat late at night

Who breaks it: Ann G. Kulze, M.D., author of Dr. Ann’s 10-Step Diet: A Simple Plan for Permanent Weight Loss and Lifelong Vitality. She sits down to dinner every night at 9 p.m. or later.

Why you can, too: “A calorie consumed at 9 p.m. isn’t handled any differently by your body than one consumed at 9 a.m.,” Kulze says. It’s less about when you eat than how much you eat. A study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that obese women were more likely than svelte women to eat meals late at night, but they were also more likely to eat more, period. And a study by the USDA showed that your metabolism hums along at the same rate no matter how you time your meals. And delaying dinner does have one undisputed advantage: It helps eliminate late-night snacking, one of the worst diet busters.

Do it right: One reason you’re likely to stuff yourself late at night is that you’re ravenous from not having eaten since lunchtime. A healthy snack in the late afternoon (around 4 p.m. if you’re planning to eat at 9 p.m.) can help you avoid this pitfall. Studies have found that the fat in nuts is particularly satisfying, so grab a 100-calorie pack of almonds when you’re on the go. When you finally find the time for dinner, actually sit at a table, and nix the distractions. Scarfing a meal in the car or in front of the TV means you usually aren’t paying attention to what—or how much—you’re eating.

Boost your energy and even lose weight with these satisfying snack ideas.

The rule: skip dessert

Who breaks it: Judith S. Stern, Sc.D., a professor of nutrition and internal medicine at the University of California, Davis. She has a “few bites of something decadent” when she dines out.

Why you can, too: We all discover a little more room beneath our waistbands when the dessert tray rolls by. Studies show that when you’re offered a variety of foods, you never achieve what’s known as taste-specific satiety; your appetite is stimulated anew as each novel flavor is introduced. Outsmart your taste buds by planning ahead. Stern’s trick: She looks at the dessert menu along with the main menu, and if she decides to end the meal with, say, a dark-chocolate tart, she’ll always choose a salad dressed in a little olive oil and vinegar to start and then have an appetizer as her entree.

Do it right: Desserts are unsurprisingly high in calories, and chain restaurants tend to serve enormous portions—an Applebee’s chocolate chip cookie sundae has 1,620 calories and 73 grams of saturated fat! Order off the kid’s menu or get something to share. Also consider sorbets and chocolate-dipped fruit, which satisfy a sweet tooth for fewer calories. Dining at home? Try the chocolate raspberry parfait Avanti prepares: Top a half cup of fat-free ricotta cheese with a teaspoon of cocoa powder and a quarter cup of fresh or frozen raspberries. “This snack offers just enough sweetness to calm a sugar craving,” she says, “and it’s packed with filling protein.” weight loss fast weight loss

Thin on the Outside, Obese on the Inside

CoSKuN — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 07:14:19 +0000

To the world, they’re picture-perfect: enviably thin and free of the health problems associated with being overweight, and they can fit into the skinniest of jeans. But to researchers like Jimmy Bell, Ph.D., a professor of molecular imaging at the Imperial College at the University of London, skinny people—even supermodel types—can be superfat: “Everyone expects an overweight person to have lots of fat, but it can be a shock when a thin person has as much internal body fat as an obese, or even morbidly obese person.”

Normal-weight obesity is a term used for thin people who are really fat because, despite weighing light on a scale or having a “normal” body mass index of 24.9 or below, they have high levels of body fat.

Researchers have long used the BMI, derived from height and weight, as a surrogate measure of fat and the health risks associated with it, although BMI does not actually measure body fat. A BMI of 25 or above is classified as overweight, since this is the point where health risks start to rise. A BMI of 30 or above is considered obese, because risk factors increase exponentially at that point.

While classifying people by BMI is convenient, the measure is not without limitations. BMI can convey a false sense of risk to people who are heavier but fit—either because they are cardiovascularly trained from regular exercise, or because they have more muscle and less fat.

But as it turns out, presumably healthy BMIs can be misleading, too. People with a normal BMI may have a high level of risk if they have a high level of body fat. And as many as 30 million Americans may fall into this normal-weight but obese category, according to a 2009 study in the European Heart Journal.

Researchers looked at the BMI and body fat of more than 6,000 U.S. adults. When BMIs were compared with body fat percentages, a surprising number of people who were normal-weight according to BMI were actually obese judging by body fat levels. Worse, this study found that many of these thin-but-fat people had cardiovascular disease (heart attacks or strokes) and/or signs of metabolic syndrome such as abnormal cholesterol levels and high blood pressure. The skinny-but-fat had four times the prevalence of metabolic syndrome as those with less body fat, and normal-weight women with a high level of body fat had more than twice the risk of death from cardiovascular disease compared with those with a low level of body fat.

“People get so obsessed with how much they weigh and what they look like, and they think that if they are thin, then they are healthy,” Bell said. “But you can’t judge by how you look, because you can’t tell what’s on the inside by looking on the outside.”

And where your fat is turns out to be as important as—or more important than—how much of it you have. Today’s high-tech lab equipment is allowing glimpses of body fat like never before. Bell has centered much of his research on quantifying the amounts and locations of fat within the body using magnetic resonance imaging machines. This, and similar technology, has revealed that not only do people of all shapes and sizes have the pinchable or jiggly fat known as subcutaneous fat, or fat that is just under the skin, but that fat is also stored internally throughout the body.

Internal fat can be in the intra-abdominal area, from the top of your hips to the top of your liver. Within this area is a depot of visceral fat, deep within the belly. Fat can be ectopic—hidden in and around organs such as the liver and pancreas. It can also be stored in and around muscles. “The more internal body fat a person has, the more they are setting themselves up for health problems later, because internal fat is correlated with more health risks than external fat. A thin but overfat person without health problems may eventually reach a tipping point where suddenly they develop high blood pressure or Type 2 diabetes,” Bell says.

So how can you gauge whether you are too fat?

“Pinching an inch or more at the waist is a wonderful wake-up call that you may have too much fat,” says Len Kravitz, Ph.D., a professor of exercise physiology at the University of New Mexico.

Measuring waist circumference can be an indicator of the amount of fat in the torso. (Higher health risks have been shown in women with waists that are 35 inches or more and in men with waists at or larger than 40 inches.)

But a little bit of flab around the middle won’t tell your overall body fat percentage or how much internal fat you may have. “Getting measured with skin fold calipers from a trained professional in a health club, university or clinical setting is the easiest way to get an estimate of total body fat and lean mass,” Kravitz says. More precise body-composition measures include the Bod Pod, an underwater-weighing scale, or the DEXA (or DXA) scan, but they are hard to find and expensive.

The only way to get an idea of your fat distribution, or how much internal fat you have and where it is deposited, is to get an MRI, CT or DXA scan. These expensive machines aren’t usually available for those who are simply curious about their body fat. But check your local university or research hospital; you may be able to enroll in a study and get a scan performed as part of your participation.

How can you lose the internal fat?

You don’t really need to know how much internal body fat you have to reduce it. To lose it, you just need to start exercising, if you’re not already. Bell conducted a study in the journal Lipids on 17 normal-weight women, having them perform aerobic exercise three days a week for at least 30 minutes. The women did not diet. After six months, MRIs showed significant fat losses—an average 17 percent reduction in the internal fat and a 25 percent decrease in visceral fat. “Some women lost up to 60 percent of their internal fat, showing a great improvement in metabolic health,” Bell says, “yet they were all disappointed because they did not lose weight on the scale.” Bell and colleagues also measured fat in slim men who were fit and in men who were slim, but unfit and inactive. Their 2009 study, published in the International Journal of Obesity, showed that the fit men had lower levels of visceral and liver fat than the unfit men.

“Your main exercise thrust should be to do a combination of cardio exercise on most days of the week with resistance exercise on two to three days a week,” Kravitz says. And don’t get too obsessed with how much you weigh, since the scale can’t reveal the true picture of what shape your body is in.

Acne treatments: Emerging therapies for clearer skin

CoSKuN — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 19:40:02 +0000

Acne treatments

With the right treatment, you can keep acne under control. But what’s the best acne treatment for you? Many options are available, including prescription creams and antibiotics, which target the various causes of acne. But even with the wide range of acne treatments, chronic breakouts may still be difficult to treat.

Promising new acne treatments — such as blue light therapy, diode laser therapy or combination treatments — may be effective acne treatments when combined with other traditional treatments.
Acne treatments target causes

Image showing how acne develops How acne develops

Each hair follicle is connected to sebaceous glands, which secrete an oily substance known as sebum to lubricate the hair and skin. Sebum normally travels up along the hair shaft and then out through the opening of the hair follicle onto the surface of your skin.

When your body produces an excess amount of sebum and dead skin cells, the two can accumulate in the hair follicle and solidify as a soft plug. As the plug grows, the follicle wall can rupture, allowing more oil and skin cells to accumulate. This is the underlying cause of acne. Bacteria can trigger additional inflammation and infection resulting in complications of acne.

Acne treatments usually work by reducing oil production, speeding up the growth of new skin cells and the removal of dead skin cells, or fighting bacterial infection. Some acne treatments, especially combination therapies, work by doing two or three of these.
Laser and light therapy

Laser- and light-based therapies reach the deeper layers of skin without harming the skin’s surface. Some laser systems are thought to damage the oil (sebaceous) glands, causing them to produce less oil. Other laser and light therapies target Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes), the bacterium that causes acne inflammation. These therapies can also improve skin texture and lessen the appearance of scars, so they may be good treatment choices for people with both active acne and acne scars.

Several types of laser and light therapies show promise in acne treatment. These include:

* Blue light therapy. Exposing the skin to a low-intensity blue light source is believed to destroy P. acnes. This painless procedure is usually done through a series of sessions. P. acnes multiplies rapidly, however, so ongoing treatment is necessary for best results. Possible side effects of blue light therapy include temporary redness and dryness in the treated areas. A newer type of light therapy that includes a combination of blue and red light may be more effective than blue light alone.
* Pulsed light and heat energy therapy. Together, pulsed light and heat energy is thought to destroy P. acnes and shrink sebaceous glands, which decreases the oil production. The Food and Drug Administration approved an acne therapy that combines pulses of green-yellow light and heat to treat mild to moderate acne, including inflammatory acne. Side effects of this therapy include temporary redness in the treated areas.
* Diode laser treatment. Diode lasers can destroy sebaceous glands in the dermis, the thick middle layer of skin, without harming the outer layer of skin. Laser treatment may be painful, but the pain can be controlled with analgesics applied to the skin before treatment. Side effects of diode laser treatment include temporary redness and swelling of the treated areas.

Still unknown is who would benefit the most from laser and light therapies, the effectiveness of these treatment options and what the long-term risks or benefits might be. Furthermore, laser and light therapy acne treatments can be expensive and may not be covered by your insurance company.

Cosmetic procedures

Chemical peels and microdermabrasion may be helpful in controlling acne. These cosmetic procedures — which have traditionally been used to lessen the appearance of fine lines, sun damage and minor facial scars — are most effective when used in combination with other acne treatments.

Chemical peels. Chemicals, such as glycolic acid or salicylic acid, applied to your skin help remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, remove whiteheads and blackheads, and can generate new skin growth. These chemical peels are often used with acne creams or gels for better penetration of the medication. Depending on strength of the chemical, side effects of chemical peels range from temporary redness, blisters, scaling and crusting to scarring, infection and abnormal skin coloring.
Microdermabrasion. This type of treatment involves a hand-held device that blows crystals onto skin. These crystals gently abrade or “polish” the skin’s surface. Then, a vacuum tube removes the crystals and skin cells. The procedure exfoliates and unclogs pores. Similar to chemical peels, microdermabrasion is often used with other acne treatments to increase their effectiveness.

These procedures are best done by a doctor. Trying these treatments at home could cause infections, acne flare-ups or scars. If your skin tends to form scar tissue, chemical peels or microdermabrasion could make your complexion worse.

Combination therapies

Combination therapies, for example, using prescription creams and oral antibiotics, target all the causes of acne, which makes the treatment plan more successful. Several combination therapies have been shown to be effective in controlling acne:

Retinoids and oral antibiotics. Prescription products derived from vitamin A (retinoids) can be combined with oral antibiotics for better treatment of acne. Retinoids work by promoting cell turnover and preventing the plugging of the hair follicle. Oral antibiotics kill P. acnes bacteria and reduce inflammation.
Benzoyl peroxide and topical antibiotics. Benzoyl peroxide is most effective if it’s combined with antibiotics applied to your skin (topical antibiotics). Benzoyl peroxide can dry up the oil, kill bacteria and promote sloughing of dead skin cells. Topical antibiotics can kill bacteria on the skin’s surface and fight inflammation.

P. acnes can become resistant to a particular antibiotic, especially if that antibiotic is misused or overused. Bacterial resistance makes treating acne difficult because the antibiotic is no longer effective in killing the bacteria. Combination therapies, especially those that include benzoyl peroxide, are less likely to lead to bacterial resistance.

Keep realistic expectations

If you’re interested in new acne treatments, talk to your doctor about your options. He or she can help you create a treatment plan that’s right for you.

Regardless of the treatment you use, be sure to keep realistic expectations. Acne can’t be cured, only controlled. You won’t start seeing improvements from most treatments for six to eight weeks, and your acne might appear worse before it gets better. But if you stick to your treatment regimen, your patience usually pays off with clearer skin.

Laser Hair Removal

CoSKuN — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 19:34:42 +0000

LASER HAIR REMOVAL

Laser hair removal is designed to permanently remove unwanted body hair by using the light energy from a laser.Unwanted hair is a common problem in women and men. Shaving, waxing, and tweezing only produce temporary results and can generally only be carried out on relatively small areas.

Laser hair removal treatment can be used to permanently treat and remove small and large areas of unwanted hair from the body.Best results occur in those with light skin and dark hair, and hair removal works better on coarse hair rather than fine hair.

What is involved with laser hair removal?

The area is shaved and cleaned, and an anaesthetic cream applied. The laser then produces pulsed beams of highly concentrated light which is absorbed by the pigment located in the hair follicles, damaging the surrounding follicle.

The procedure can be uncomfortable, but it is not usually painful. The length of a laser session may be a few minutes to an hour or more, depending on the size of the area being treated. Any redness and swelling of the affected areas usually disappears in a short time. And most people return to normal activity right away.

Are there any risks associated with Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a safe procedure if carried out by an experienced person. Possible complications include:

darkening or lightening of the treated skin
burning/blistering of the treated skin

Since darker skin is more susceptible to changes in pigment, tanning before laser hair removal should be avoided.

How many treatments will I need?

Most treatments require 4-6 sessions for permanent hair removal in any one area. The procedure can be repeated at monthly intervals.

How much does laser hair removal cost?

Laser hair removal costs from £100 depending on the area treated

Laser Hair Removal Machines

The Inside Scoop on Hair Removal Lasers

As a customer, it’s crucial that you are knowledgeable about the different kinds of laser hair removal machines and what their chief uses are. Some laser hair removal machines are better for customers with a particular skin type, so here is a review to help you ascertain which variety is best for you.

Looking for reduction of hair with laser? You Need This Info!
If you are considering laser hair reduction treatment then you need to know about the different kinds of laser hair removal machines in use because usually clinics or beauticians in your local area will have one variety of machine and will be marketing it specifically – rather than counseling you which is the best variety for YOU.

Lasers and Hair / Skin Type
The best machine to use for you will be determined by a variety of factors, importantly your skin type. Some systems are less than 100% safe for certain skin types, and using them results in you running a higher than average possibility of side effects like burning or skin discoloration.

On the other hand, if you have a skin type that is more robust and can stand higher laser fluencies, then you will want your clinic to use the lasers that can produce better long term results.

Laser Type: Nd:Yag
The Nd:Yag laser hair removal machines can successfully be used on darker skin types with minimal risk. The downside is that, since they are designed to safeguard dark skin from blistering, they are significantly less effectual on fine hair. You should not pick an Nd:Yag machine if you have white skin.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) “Lasers”
This is not strictly a laser. IPL laser machines can successfully be used on lots of kinds of patient. It’s possible to obtain good results with IPL machines, but it is more unpredictable – a lot hangs on the experience and talent of the laser operator.

Laser Type: Alexandrite
Alexandrite laser hair removal systems are highly effectual for white-skinned, dark-haired patients; you should stay away from Alexandrite laser hair removal systems if you have darker skin.

Diode Lasers
The Diode laser hair removal machines are eminently suitable for white-skinned patients and may be effectual on other skin types. It is not absolutely sure how long term a result you are likely to achieve with these kinds of system.

Ruby Laser Machines
Only really suitable for white skin, the long-term results of Ruby laser hair removal machines are quite well documented, so you can reasonably envisage a long term loss of hair after treatment. The downside is that, these machines are quite old fashioned now so possibly not as effectual as the newer Alexandrite laser hair removal machines.

Final Words
While it’s not a good idea to pick a reduction of hair with laser clinic only because of what technology they employ, it is nevertheless vital to know what variety of laser hair removal machines they plan to treat you with, and be sure that it is suitable for your needs

Vitamin B12-What is it?

CoSKuN — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 19:30:23 +0000

What is it?
B12 and folate are B complex vitamins that are necessary for normal red blood cell formation, tissue and cellular repair, and DNA synthesis. A B12 and/or folate deficiency reflects a chronic shortage of one or both of these vitamins. Since the body stores 3 to 5 years worth of B12 and several months’ supply of folate in the liver, deficiencies and their associated symptoms can take months to years to manifest in adults. Infants and children will show signs of deficiency more rapidly, however, as they have not yet established extensive reserves.

Over time, a deficiency in either B12 or folate can lead to macrocytic anemia, a condition characterized by the production of fewer, but larger red blood cells and a decreased ability to carry oxygen. Due to the anemia, patients may be weak, light-headed, and short of breath. A deficiency in B12 can also result in varying degrees of neuropathy, nerve damage that can cause tingling and numbness in the patient’s hands and feet and mental changes that range from confusion and irritability to severe dementia.

Pregnant women need increased amounts of folate for proper fetal development. If a woman has a folate deficiency prior to pregnancy, it will be intensified during gestation and may lead to premature birth and neural tube birth defects, such as spina bifida, in the child.

Glucosamine Vitamins

CoSKuN — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 19:27:15 +0000

Other names: glucosamine sulfate, glucosamine sulphate, glucosamine hydrochloride, N-acetyl glucosamine, chitosamine

Glucosamine is a compound found naturally in the body, made from glucose and the amino acid glutamine. Glucosamine is needed to produce glycosaminoglycan, a molecule used in the formation and repair of cartilage and other body tissues. Production of glucosamine slows with age.

Glucosamine is available as a nutritional supplement in health food stores and many drug stores. Glucosamine supplements are manufactured in a laboratory from chitin, a substance found in the shells of shrimp, crab, lobster, and other sea creatures. In additional to nutritional supplements, glucosamine is also used in sports drinks and in cosmetics.

Glucosamine is often combined with chondroitin sulfate, a molecule naturally present in cartilage. Chondroitin gives cartilage elasticity and is believed to prevent the destruction of cartilage by enzymes. Glucosamine is sometimes combined with methylsulfonylmethane, or MSM, in nutritional supplements.
Why Do People Use Glucosamine?
Osteoarthritis

Glucosamine supplements are widely used for osteoarthritis, particularly knee osteoarthritis. In osteoarthritis, cartilage — the rubbery material that cushions joints — becomes stiff and loses its elasticity. This makes the joint prone to damage and may lead to pain, swelling, loss of movement, and further deterioration.

Since the body’s natural glucosamine is used to make and repair joint cartilage, taking glucosamine as a nutritional supplement is thought to help repair damaged cartilage by augmenting the body’s supply of glucosamine.

There is promising evidence that glucosamine may reduce pain symptoms of knee osteoarthritis and possibly slow the progression of osteoarthritis. For example, a study published in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine examined people with osteoarthritis over three years. Researchers assessed pain and structural improvements seen on x-ray. They gave 202 people with mild to moderate osteoarthritis 1,500 mg of glucosamine sulfate a day or a placebo.

At the end of the study, researchers found that glucosamine slowed the progression of knee osteoarthritis compared to the placebo. People in the glucosamine group had a significant reduction in pain and stiffness. On x-ray, there was no average change or narrowing of joint spaces in the knees (a sign of deterioration) of the glucosamine group. In contrast, joint spaces of participants taking the placebo narrowed over the three years.

One of the largest studies on glucosamine for osteoarthritis was a 6-month study sponsored by the National Institutes of Health. Called GAIT, the study compared the effectiveness of glucosamine hydrochloride (HCL), chondroitin sulfate, a combination of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, the drug celecoxib (Celebrex), or a placebo in people with knee osteoarthritis.

Glucosamine or chondroitin alone or in combination didn’t reduce pain in the overall group, although people in the study with moderate-to-severe knee pain were more likely to respond to glucosamine.

One major drawback of the GAIT Trial was that glucosamine hydrochloride was used rather than the more widely used and researched glucosamine sulfate. A recent analysis of previous studies, including the GAIT Trial, concluded that glucosamine hydrochloride was not effective. The analysis also found that studies on glucosamine sulfate were too different from one another and were not as well-designed as they should be, so they could not properly draw a conclusion. More research is needed.

Still, health care providers often suggest a three month trial of glucosamine and discontinuing it if there is no improvement after three months. A typical dose for osteoarthritis is 1,500 mg of glucosamine sulfate each day.
Other Conditions

Other conditions for which glucosamine is used include rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis), chronic venous insufficiency, and skin conditions, although further evidence is needed.
Side Effects and Safety of Glucosamine

Most studies involving humans have found that short-term use of glucosamine is well-tolerated. Side effects may include drowsiness, headache, insomnia, and mild and temporary digestive complaints such as abdominal pain, poor appetite, nausea, heartburn, constipation, diarrhea, and vomiting. In rare human cases, the combination of glucosamine and chondroitin has been linked with temporarily elevated blood pressure and heart rate and palpitations.

Since glucosamine supplements may be made from shellfish, people with allergies to shellfish should avoid glucosamine unless it has been confirmed that it is from a non-shellfish source. The source of glucosamine is not required to be printed on the label, so it may require a phone call to the manufacturer.

There is some evidence suggesting that glucosamine, in doses used to treat osteoarthritis, may worsen blood sugar, insulin, and/or hemoglobin A1c (a test that measures how well blood sugar has been controlled during the previous three months) levels in people with diabetes or insulin resistance.

Theoretically, glucosamine may increase the risk of bleeding. People with bleeding disorders, those taking anti-clotting or anti-platelet medication, such as warfarin, clopidogrel, and Ticlid, or people taking supplements that may increase the risk of bleeding, such as garlic, ginkgo, vitamin E, or red clover, should not take glucosamine unless under the supervision of a healthcare provider.

The safety of glucosamine in pregnant or nursing women isn’t known.

Kolay Hamile “Gebe” Kalmanın Yolları “Yöntemleri”

CoSKuN — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 18:39:43 +0000

Kolay Hamile Kalmak,Kolay hamile kalma yolları,kolay hamile kalma pozisyonları

Çiftler tarafından istenilse de hamile kalınamamasının nedeni, uygun zamanda ve yeterli sıklıkta ilişkinin olmaması ya da uygulanan yanlış yöntemler gibi basit nedenler olabilir. Bu yazımızda hamile kalmaya karar veren çiftler için yararlı olacak uygun şekil ve yöntemleri bulabilirsiniz.

Kadınların herhangi bir ayda gebe kalma olasılıkları % 20-25 arasındadır. Çiftler bilgi eksikliği nedeni ile yaptıkları bazı davranışlar yoluyla bu olasılığı azaltabilirler. Kısır olduklarını düşünen bazı çiftlerde alınacak basit tedbirler ve uygulanacak çok kolay yöntemler ile hiçbir tedaviye gerek kalmadan gebelik elde edilebilir.

Uygun zaman

Gebelik isteyen çiftler için cevaplandırılması gereken ilk soru en uygun zamanın ne olduğudur. Düzenli adet gören kadınlarda yumurtlama genelde adet döngüsünün 14. gününe denk gelir (adet kanamasının başladığı günden itibaren 14. gün). Ancak yumurtlama tarihinde sapmalar olabileceği ve sperm ile yumurta hücresinin kadın vücudu içinde yaşama potansiyeli göz önüne alındığında 9 ile 15. günler arasında gün aşırı cinsel ilişki olması gebelik şansını yükseltir.

İlişkinin her gün önerilmemesinin sebebi erkeğin sperm kalitesini düşürmemektir. Her ilişkiden önce erkeğin en az 48 saat süreyle boşalmaması özellikle sperm sayısı düşük ya da sınırda olan erkekler için yararlıdır. Alınabilecek başka bir önlem de ilişkinin sabah olmasıdır. Boşalmanın olmadığı geceyi takip eden sabah erkeğin sperm düzeyleri en yüksek sayıdadır. Ancak bu ilişkiler yaşanırken bugün mutlaka ilişkide bulunmamız gerekir şeklinde stres yaratmak hamilelik açısından olumsuz etki gösterir. Bu stresi gidermek için olayı kendi haline bırakmak veya egzersiz, yürüyüş gibi stres giderici faaliyetlerde bulunmak gereklidir. Unutulmamalıdır ki üreme sistemini yöneten bütün hormonlar hem fiziksel hem de ruhsal strese karşı hassastır.

Hamile kalmak için uygun şekil

Gebelik için uygun dönem saptandıktan sonra ikinci aşama cinsel birleşmenin şeklidir. Pek çok pozisyon gebelik için uygun ortam yaratmaz. Normal bir ilişki sonrası gebelik oluşabilmesi için spermlerin vajinaya uygun şekilde bırakılması ve vajinanın spermlerin rahim içine doğru ilerleyebilmesi için uygun pozisyonda durması gerekir. Bu şartları sağlayan pozisyonlar erkeğin üstte olduğu, kadın ve erkeğin yana doğru dönük olduğu pozisyonlar ile kadının diz-dirsek pozisyonunda olduğu şekillerdir.

Erkeğin üstte olduğu durumda kadının kalçaları altına bir yastık yerleştirerek pelvisini yükseltmesi spermlerin doğru yönde ilerlemelerine yardımcı olur. Diz-dirsek pozisyonu ise özellikle sperm sayısı düşük olan durumlarda ek fayda sağlar.

Oturur pozisyonda, kadının üstte olduğu veya ayakta olan cinsel ilişkiler gebelik elde etmek için uygun değildir. İnsanlarda cinsel ilişkinin amacı büyük ölçüde haz almak olmasına rağmen biyolojik açıdan öncelikli amacı soyun devamını sağlamak yani gebelik elde etmektir. Bu amaç dışında birleşme doğada sadece insanda ve birkaç türde daha olmaktadır.

Gebelik elde etmek isteyen çiftler bu nedenle ilişki esnasında bazı etkinliklerden kaçınmalıdırlar. Bunların başında oral seks gelir. Tükürük içinde bulunan birtakım enzimler ve bakteriler spermlerin dölleme kabiliyetini azaltır, hatta spermlerin ölümüne neden olabilir.

Benzer şekilde anal seks de sperm aktivitesi üzerinde olumsuz etki yaratabileceğinden bu tür ilişkilerden kaçınılmalıdır. Yine benzer mekanizma ile ilişki esnasında kullanılabilen kayganlaştırıcılar da sakıncalıdır. Özellikle petrol bazlı olan vazelin, masaj yağları gibi maddeler kesinlikle kullanılmamalı, mutlaka kayganlaştırıcı kullanılması gerekiyor ise su bazlı olanlar tercih edilmelidir.

Gebelik arzulayan çiftlerin su altında veya içinde ilişkide bulunmaları vajen pH’ı bozulacağından sakıncalıdır. Sıcak su da sperm sayısı ve hareketliliğini bozacağından önerilmez. Pek çok uzman, erkeğin üstte olduğu klasik misyoner pozisyonun bebek sahibi olabilmek açısından en etkili pozisyon olduğunu düşünebilir. Ancak bu konuda gerçek tıbbi ve güvenilir veriler bulunmaz.

Misyoner pozisyonu erkek cinsel organının en derine inebildiği ve spermleri rahime en yakın yere bırakabildiği pozisyon olarak düşünülür. Hatta boşalma anından sonra kadın kalçasını bir yastıkla yükselterek spermlerin rahime daha kolay ulaşabilmelerini sağlayabilir.

Diğer olasılıklar

- Kadın dizlerinin üzerinde dururken erkeğin arkadan yaklaşarak birleşmenin sağlandığı pozisyon da hamile kalmak için uygundur. Bu pozisyonda da spermler oldukça derine kadar ilerleyebilir.

- Yan yana uzanarak birleşmenin sağlanması özellikle kilolu çiftler açısından hem rahat hem de bebek sahibi olmak için en uygun pozisyonlar arasında yer alır.

Kalçaya yastık koymak

Cinsel ilişki sona erdikten sonra kadının mümkünse sırtüstü yarım saat kadar uzanması, hatta kalçasını bir yastık yardımı ile yükseltmesi spermlerin vücudun içinde ilerlemelerine yardımcı olur. Ancak uzmanlar, idrar yolu enfeksiyonları yüzünden cinsel ilişkiden hemen sonra banyoya gerektiği görüşündeler. Çünkü idrar yolu enfeksiyonları hamile kalma olasılığını yok denecek kadar aza indirir.

Orgazmın hamileliğe etkisi

Bebek sahibi olabilmek için erkeğin doyuma ulaşması en önemli şartlardan biridir. Yapılan son araştırmalar ise ilişki esnasında kadının orgazma ulaşması ile ortaya çıkan kasılmalar spermlerin hızlı ilerleyebilmesini sağlıyor ve hamile kalma olasılığını artırıyor.

Kadın üstteyse

Hamile kalma ihtimalini azaltan cinsel ilişki pozisyonlarını deneyerek bebeğin cinsiyetini tahmin etmek mümkün müdür? Bu konuda bilimsel veri olmamakla birlikte yaşanan tecrübeler kadınların üstte olduğu pozisyonların kız bebek sahibi olmaya daha uygun olduğunu gösteriyor diyebiliriz.

İlişki sonrası

Eğer ilişki sonrası kadın hemen ayağa kalkarsa fazla miktarda meni dışarıya kaçacaktır. Spermler rahim ağzına ulaşacak yeterli zaman bulamadıkları için bu durum gebelik elde edilmesi açısından önemlidir. Gebe kalmak isteyen bir kadın ilişkiden hemen sonra ayağa kalkıp idrar yapmaya ya da yıkanmaya gitmemelidir. İdeal olan kalçalarının altına bir yastık koyarak 20-30 dakika kadar yatmasıdır. Erkek de meni kaçağını azaltmak için birkaç dakika kadar kendini geri çekmemelidir.

Vajina dışarıdan kullanılan herhangi bir maddeye gereksinim duymadan kendi kendini temizleyebilen ve uygun ortamını yaratan bir organdır. Adet kanaması ve ilişki sonrasında dahi vajina sağlıklı kalabilmek için kendi önlemini alır. (Eğer ilişkiden sonra kötü bir koku duyuluyor ise bu enfeksiyonun belirtisi olabilir ve doktor kontrolü gerekir). Sadece gebelik isteyenlerde değil hiçbir kadında vajinal duş önerilmez.

İlişki öncesi yapılan duş vajen pH’ını değiştireceğinden gebelik şansını olumsuz yönde etkiler. Spermin yaşama şansı tehlikeye girer, ilişkiden hemen sonra yapılan duş ise spermleri ortamdan uzaklaştıracağından, şansı azaltır. Ayrıca duş, bakterileri kadın üreme sistemi içinde yukarılara doğru zorlayarak enfeksiyon ve dolayısı ile infertilite şansını arttırır.

- Gebe kalmayı planladığız da 3 ay öncesinden korunmayı bırakın

- Gebe kalmak için en uygun zamanda gün aşırı ilişkide bulunun

- Gebelik için uygun dönemdeki ilk ilişkiden önce ve iki ilişki arasında erkeğin en az 48 saat boşalmaması gerektiğini unutmayın

- Sabah erken saatte ilişkide bulunun

- Kayganlaştırıcı kullanmayın

- Hiçbir zaman ve asla vajinal duş yapmayın

- Vajinanın doğal duruşunu sağlayan gebelik için uygun pozisyonları tercih edin

- Alternatif seks yöntemlerinden uzak durun

- Su altında ilişkide bulunmayın

- İlişki sonrası erkek 1-2 dakika geri çekilmemeli, kadın ise 20-30 dakika yatar pozisyonda kalmalıdır.

Kolay Hamile Kalma Pozisyonları

Uzmanlar, spermin vajina içinde en uzun süre kaldığı pozisyonların hamile kalmak için en uygun pozisyonlar olduğunu belirtiyor. Ayrıca kadınların da cinsel ilişki sonrası alacakları önlemlerle gebe kalma olasılığını artırabilirler…

Misyoner pozisyonunda (erkeğin üstte olduğu) ilişki sırasında ve sonrasında 1 saat süre ile belinizin altına yastık koyarak rahim ağzınızın spermleri daha kolay ve daha uzun süre ile tutmasını sağlarsınız. Fakat yastığın aşırı kalın olmaması gerekmektedir.
Diz dirsek pozisyonundaki beraberlik hamile kalmak için en uygun şekildir. Bu şekildeki bir beraberlikten sonra da sırt üstü yatarken belinizin altına 1 saat süre ile uygun kalınlıkta bir yastık koyun.

Ayakta, oturarak veya kadının üstte olduğu pozisyonlar spermin vajina dışına akışını hızlandırdığı için gebe kalmak için uygun şekiller değildirler.

En alışılmış pozisyon; erkeğin üstte, kadınla yüz yüze olduğu pozisyondur. Kadınların çoğu bu pozisyonu yeğler. Bir çift, birleşmeye bu pozisyonla başlayabilir; erkeğin orgazmını geciktirmek amacıyla, birleşme sırasında pozisyon değiştirebilir ve daha sonra birlikte orgazm için en uygun pozisyon olan misyoner pozisyona dönülerek birleşmeye son verilebilir.

Gebe kalmak için en uygun pozisyonlar

Hamile kalmak için en uygun pozisyonlarMisyoner pozisyonu, öteki pozisyonların çoğundan daha elverişlidir. Birleşme daha az derin, uzun süreli ve duygusal ya da derin, kısa süreli ve sert olabilir.

Kadın, dizleriyle erkeğin omuzlarına dayanır. Bu, kilolukadınlarda tam birleşmeye ve spermlerin rahim ağzının yakınında birikmesine yardım eder.

Hamile kalmak için en uygun pozisyonlar

Diz çökmüş olarak yapılan arka yolla birleşme, eğer rahim retrovers (arkaya dönük) ise spermlerin rahim kanalına ulaşmasını sağlar.

HIV Quick Facts and Statistics

CoSKuN — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 18:00:45 +0000

HIV infection in women offers uniques challenges for the woman living with HIV and the person caring for her. Unfortunately, in some parts of the world HIV/AIDS among women is growing at an alarming rate. Let’s take a look at the HIV statistics related to HIV and women. What is the status of HIV/AIDS among women of the world?

Experimental Vaginal Gel Shows Promise

HIV Among Women
In the early years of the HIV epidemic, few women were diagnosed with the disease. Today about 25 percent of all new HIV cases are women. Women of color have been particularly hard hit. As of 2004:

* AIDS was the leading cause of death among black women aged 25 to 34 years old; the third leading cause of death among black women 35 to 44 years old; the fourth leading cause of death among black women 45 to 54 years old.

* AIDS is the fourth leading cause of death among Hispanic women 35 to 44 years old.

* HIV infection was the fifth leading cause of death among all women 35 to 44 years old; sixth leading cause of death among all women 25 to 44 years old.

* The only diseases that cause greater number of deaths among women are cancer and heart disease.

HIV Statistics – 2005

* Approximately 9700 women were diagnosed with HIV
o 80 percent were from heterosexual transmission

* Approximately 37,000 people were newly diagnosed with HIV
o 26 percent of these were women

* There were about 127,000 women living with HIV in 2005
o 64 percent were black
o 19 percent were white
o 15 percent were Hispanic
o one percent were Asian / Pacific Islander
o less than one percent were American Indian / Alaska Native

* The number of women with HIV decreased from almost 12,000 in 2001 to about 9700 in 2005.

AIDS Statistics – 2005

* Of the nearly 41,000 AIDS diagnoses in the US, 26 percent were women.

* The AIDS diagnosis rate for black women was 23 times greater than white women and 4 times the rate of Hispanic women.

* Of the 422,000 people living with AIDS in the US, 23 percent were women.

* 25 percent of all AIDS deaths in the US were women.

* 19 percent of all AIDS cases from 1981 to 2005 were women

* In 1992 women accounted for 19 percent of people living with AIDS. By 2005 that number had grown to 23 percent.

* While black and Hispanic women together represent 24 percent of the US female population, they represent 82 percent of the AIDS diagnoses in 2005.

The Signs and Symptoms of Early Pregnancy

CoSKuN — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 17:48:20 +0000

Pregnancy Symptoms, Pregnancy Signs, early Pregnancy Symptoms,

“Am I pregnant?” ay marahil ang pinaka-karaniwang tanong sa kalusugan ng mga kababaihan magtanong. is probably the most common health question women ask. Ang mga palatandaan at sintomas ng maagang pagbubuntis ay madaling makilala, lalo na kung hindi ito ang iyong unang pagbubuntis. The signs and symptoms of early pregnancy are easy to recognize, particularly if this is not your first pregnancy. Gaano man karaming beses ka ng buntis, ang mga palatandaan at sintomas ng maagang pagbubuntis ay ang parehong. No matter how many times you get pregnant, the signs and symptoms of early pregnancy are the same. Gayunman, hindi ito nangangahulugan na ikaw ay karanasan ng bawat pagbubuntis sa parehong paraan. However, this does not mean that you will experience every pregnancy the same way. Halimbawa, sa panahon ng isa sa pagbubuntis, maaari kang makaranas hindi kapani-paniwala dibdib ng sakit o pagduduwal at pagsusuka, habang ang panahon ng isa pang pagbubuntis baka hindi na karanasan ang mga sintomas sa lahat. For example, during one pregnancy, you may experience incredible breast pain or nausea and vomiting, while during another pregnancy you might not experience these symptoms at all. Ang simpleng katotohanan ay na pagbubuntis sa bawat isa, tulad ng bawat kasisilang, ay naiiba. The simple fact is that each pregnancy, just like each newborn, is different. Kaya, hindi ibinibilang sa pagkakaroon ng parehong mga sintomas o sa parehong karubduban ng mga sintomas sa panahon ng sunod-sunod na pregnancies. So, don’t count on having the same symptoms or the same intensity of symptoms during consecutive pregnancies.
Maagang Pagbubuntis Palatandaan at sintomas Early Pregnancy Signs and Symptoms

* Namamaga, malambot, o sugat pitso at / o mga nipples – Kadalasan ito ay ang unang pisikal na palatandaan ng pagbubuntis. Swollen, tender, or sore breasts and/ or nipples – Often this is the first physical sign of pregnancy. Sa katunayan, ang ilang mga kababaihan na malaman kapag sila ay buntis, batay sa ito mag-sign nag-iisa. In fact, some women know when they are pregnant based on this sign alone. Ang dahilan pitso at / o mga nipples ay madalas sugat, namamaga, o malambot sa panahon ng maagang pagbubuntis ay dahil ang bubelya ay sumasailalim sa mga pagbabago upang maghanda para sa pagpapasuso. The reason breasts and/ or nipples are often sore, swollen, or tender during early pregnancy is because the breasts are undergoing changes to prepare for breastfeeding. Ang dahilan para sa mga ito ay ang mas mataas na produksyon ng mga hormones estrogen at progesterone na nangyayari at ang pitso at / o mga nipples ay madalas lalo na nakasasakit ng damdamin sa loob ng isang unang pagbubuntis. The reason for this is the increased production of the hormones estrogen and progesterone that occurs and the breasts and/ or nipples are often particularly painful during a first pregnancy.

* Nakakapagod na o di-pangkaraniwang pagkahapo – Maagang pagbubuntis ay panahon kung kailan katawan ng isang babae ay nagtatrabaho very hard upang panatilihin up sa mga pagbabago na nangyari. Fatigue or unusual tiredness – Early pregnancy is time when a woman’s body is working very hard to keep up with the changes that occur. Ang ibig sabihin nito ay nadagdagan hormon produksyon, pati na rin ang katunayan na ang puso ay pumping mas mahirap at mas mabilis na dahil sa pagdami ng daloy ng dugo – kailangan upang magdala ng nutrients sa lumalaking sanggol. This means increased hormone production, as well as the fact that the heart is pumping harder and faster due to the escalation of blood flow – necessary to bring nutrients to the growing fetus. Nadagdagang progesterone produksyon ay ang pangunahing dahilan para sa dagdag na nakakapagod na karamihan sa mga buntis na kababaihan karanasan ng maaga sa kanilang pagbubuntis. Increased progesterone production is the primary reason for the extra fatigue most pregnant women experience early in their pregnancy. Progesterone, na kilala maging sanhi ng antok at isang natural na central kinakabahan sistema depressant, ay ang dahilan kung bakit ito nangyari. Progesterone, known to cause sleepiness and a natural central nervous system depressant, is the reason this occurs. Isa pang dahilan ng pagkapagod at mga di-pangkaraniwang pagkahapo sa panahon ng maagang pagbubuntis ay ang emosyonal na magpakalabis nakaranas ng madalas sa panahon ng pagbubuntis. Another reason for fatigue and unusual tiredness during early pregnancy are the emotional extremes experienced often during pregnancy. Ito ay hindi pangkaraniwan para sa isang buntis na pagputok sa luha para sa hindi maliwanag na dahilan maliban sa hormonal pagbabago na nangyari sa panahon ng mga oras na ito. It’s not uncommon for a pregnant woman to burst into tears for no apparent reason other than the hormonal fluctuations that occur during this time. Sintomas na ito ay din a mag-sign upang makakuha ng karagdagang matulog bago ang iyong sanggol kapag dumating ang kakailanganin mo ang iyong lakas sa pag-aalaga para sa iyong mga kasisilang sanggol. This symptom is also a sign to get more sleep before your baby arrives when you’ll need your energy to care for your newborn baby.

* Aking Panahon ay nahuling, Ako ba ay buntis? – Ang pinaka-karaniwang dahilan para sa iyong mga nawawalang ay panahon ng pagbubuntis at ito ay madalas na ang unang mag-sign na gumagawa ng maghinala ka pagbubuntis. My Period is Late, Am I Pregnant? – The most common reason for missing your period is pregnancy and this is often the first sign that makes you suspect pregnancy. Tanging ang pagbubuntis ng isang pagsubok na sinusundan ng isang pelvic examination, maaaring sabihin sa iyo positibo kung ikaw ay buntis. Only a pregnancy test followed by a pelvic exam, can tell you positively whether you are pregnant. Kapag ang iyong tagapangalaga ng kalusugan patakaran ng pagbubuntis na ang sanhi ng iyong huli o hindi nakuha ng panahon, ang mga susunod na hakbang ay karaniwan sa mga tuntunin sa loob o sa labas ng ilang mga iba pang mga posibleng paliwanag para sa kawalan ng regla o amenorrhea. Once your health care provider rules out pregnancy as the cause of your late or missed periods, the next step is usually to rule in or out several other possible explanations for absence of menstruation or amenorrhea.

* Banayad na dumudugo at / o cramping – Ang pinaka-karaniwang dahilan para sa liwanag dumudugo sa panahon ng maagang pagbubuntis ay pagtatanim. Light bleeding and/or cramping – The most common reason for light bleeding during early pregnancy is implantation. Pagtatanim dinudugo nangyayari kapag ang fertilized egg implants ang sarili nito sa mga may isang ina panig at karaniwang nangyayari tungkol sa 10-14 araw pagkatapos ng kuru-kuro. Implantation bleeding occurs when the fertilized egg implants itself in the uterine lining and usually occurs about 10 to 14 days after conception. Dumudugo na dulot ng pagtatanim ay tunay na liwanag, madalas na ang tanging mag-sign mapapansin ninyo na nagpapahiwatig ng pagtatanim ay nangyari ay isang maliit na (maaaring bilang maliit na bilang isang ulo ng aspili sinusundan ng walang karagdagang dumudugo) spot ng dugo sa kaliwa sa iyong panti. Bleeding caused by implantation is very light, often the only sign you might notice that indicates implantation has occurred is a small (can be as small as a pinhead followed by no further bleeding) spot of blood left on your panties.

Cramping na katulad ng sa panregla cramps nangyayari napaka maagang panahon ng pagbubuntis at ang mangyayari kapag ang matris ang nagsisimula upang mapalawak ang gumawa ng room para sa mga bilig na bumuo sa isang sanggol na patuloy na bumuo ng para sa isang total ng 40 na linggo pagbubuntis kapag ang iyong sanggol ay ipinanganak. Cramping that is similar to menstrual cramps occurs very early during pregnancy and happens when the uterus begins to expand to make room for the embryo to develop into a fetus that continues to develop for a total of 40 weeks gestation when your baby is born.

* Morning pagkakasakit – alibadbad sa panahon ng pagbubuntis ay maaring mangyari mayroon o walang pagsusuka. Morning sickness – Nausea during pregnancy can occur with or without vomiting. Habang umaga pagkakasakit ay pinaka-karaniwan sa pagitan ng apat na linggo at mga walong panahon ng pagbubuntis, maraming mga karanasan ng mga kababaihan na ito palatandaan tungkol sa simula ng dalawang linggo mula sa kanilang mga petsa ng kuru-kuro. While morning sickness is most common between weeks four and eight during pregnancy, many women experience this symptom beginning about two weeks from their date of conception.

Morning pagkakasakit ay isang maling tawag mula ito maaari, at madalas ay, mangyari sa anumang oras ng araw o gabi. Morning sickness is a misnomer since it can, and often does, occur at anytime of the day or night. Ang pinaka-karaniwang dahilan para sa sintomas ay anyong ang mabilis na tumaas ang estrogen, inilathala ng sanggol at inunan. The most common reason for this symptom seems to be the rapid rise in estrogen, produced by the fetus and placenta. Ang isa pang-trigger para sa pagkahilo ay odors. Another trigger for nausea is odors. Sa panahon ng pagbubuntis, pang-unawa ng isang babae ng nadadagdagan amoy malaki at maaari na gumawa ng halos anumang bagay mula sa araw-araw odors sa bahay, pagkain, pabango, at usok, sa pangalan ng ilang, ma-trigger ang isang labanan ng umaga pagkakasakit o pagduduwal at pagsusuka. During pregnancy, a woman’s sense of smell increases considerably and can make almost anything from everyday household odors, foods, perfume, and smoke, to name a few, trigger a bout of morning sickness or nausea and vomiting.

Ang pinaka-karaniwang mga pagkain upang ma-trigger umaga pagkakasakit ay kape sa loob ng unang linggo ng pagbubuntis, karne, mga produkto ng pagawaan ng gatas, at maanghang na pagkain. The most common foods to trigger morning sickness are coffee during the first weeks of pregnancy, meat, dairy products, and spicy foods. Gayunman, ito ay mahalaga na maunawaan na ang literal anumang bagay na maaaring ma-trigger ang pagduduwal at / o pagsusuka sa panahon ng pagbubuntis. However, it’s essential to understand that literally anything can trigger nausea and/ or vomiting during pregnancy. Sa katunayan, ako ang personal na alam ng isang tao na naging nauseated sa panahon ng isa sa kanyang mga pregnancies sa bawat oras na siya ay dumaan sa isang microwave sa operasyon. In fact, I personally know someone who became nauseated during one of her pregnancies every time she passed a microwave in operation.

* Tumatakbo sa banyo – Sa loob ng unang tatlong buwan ng pagbubuntis, ito ay madaling maniwala maaari kang magkaroon ng “ilipat” sa inyong banyo na ito dahil ito ay tila patuloy na ikaw ay nagpapatakbo ng gumawa sa banyo. Running to the bathroom – During the first trimester of pregnancy, it’s easy to believe you might have to “move” into your bathroom since it seems you are constantly running to make to the bathroom. Ang lumalaking matris nagiging sanhi ng madalas na pag-ihi sa panahon ng pagbubuntis. The growing uterus causes frequent urination during pregnancy. Ang una at ikatlong trimesters ng pagbubuntis ay karaniwang kapag ang pinaka-matinding madalas na pag-ihi ang mangyayari. The first and third trimesters of pregnancy are typically when the most intense frequent urination happens.
While the signs and symptoms of early pregnancy listed on the previous page are the most common, other symptoms can, and often do, occur in pregnancy. Iba Pang pagbubuntis sintomas ay kasama ang: Other pregnancy symptoms include:

* Sakit ng ulo – sakit ng ulo na nangyari sa panahon ng pagbubuntis ay madalas na matinding at dulot ng mas mataas na antas ng hormon. Headaches – Headaches that occur during pregnancy are often intense and caused by increased hormone levels.

* Swings Mood – Huwag sa tingin mo ay loko kung biglang nagkakaroon ng hindi tipiko swings pakiramdam o kung ikaw ay unusually emosyonal na sa panahon ng pagbubuntis, ang mga ito ay napaka-normal na reaksiyon sa panahon ng pagbubuntis. Mood swings – Don’t think you’re crazy if you suddenly develop atypical mood swings or if you are unusually emotional during pregnancy, these are very normal reactions during pregnancy. Maraming mga beses, buntis na kababaihan na pagputok sa luha para sa mga dahilan na hindi maliwanag sa kahit sino, kabilang ang mga buntis. Many times, pregnant women burst into tears for reasons that are unclear to anyone, including the pregnant woman. Isa pang palatandaan na dulot ng mas mataas na antas ng hormon. Another symptom caused by increased hormone levels.

* Feeling mahina, nanghihina, o nahihilo – na sanhi ng gumagala ang sistema bilang pagluwang ng mga vessels ng dugo mangyari. Feeling weak, faint, or dizzy – Caused by the circulatory system as dilation of the blood vessels occur. Mababang asukal sa dugo, maagang sa pagbubuntis, din ang nag-trigger ang mga sintomas. Low blood sugar, early in pregnancy, also triggers these symptoms.

* Higit na basal body temperatura o BBT – Ang iyong basal body temperatura ay ang iyong temperatura agad sa pagbangon sa umaga. Increased basal body temperature or BBT – Your basal body temperature is your temperature immediately upon rising in the morning. BBT normal na tataas sa panahon ng obulasyon at bumababa kapag regla nangyayari. BBT normally increases during ovulation and decreases when menstruation occurs. Gayunman, kapag ang pagbubuntis ay tumatagal ng lugar nadagdagan basal body temperatura patuloy pagkatapos ng regla ay huli na. However, when pregnancy takes place increased basal body temperature continues after menstruation is late. BBT ay isang magandang indicator ng pagbubuntis para sa mga kababaihan na ginagamit ito, alinman upang maiwasan ang pagbubuntis o kapag sinusubukan mong makakuha ng buntis. BBT is a good indicator of pregnancy for women who have used it, either to prevent pregnancy or when trying to get pregnant.

* Pagkadumi – Food digests slower kaysa karaniwan sa panahon ng pagbubuntis dahil sa mas mataas na progesterone produksyon. Constipation – Food digests slower than usual during pregnancy due to increased progesterone production. Slower panunaw kung minsan ay nagiging sanhi ng paninigas ng dumi sa panahon ng pagbubuntis. Slower digestion sometimes causes constipation during pregnancy.

Ako ng isa o higit pa sa mga sintomas, ay na ang ibig sabihin ako ay buntis? I have one or more of these symptoms, does that mean I am pregnant?
Hindi kinakailangan, kung minsan ang mga palatandaan at sintomas ay nangangahulugan na ikaw ay maysakit o regla ay tungkol sa magsimula. Not necessarily, sometimes these signs and symptoms mean that you’re sick or that menstruation is about to begin. Point isa pang tandaan na habang ang mga sintomas ay karaniwan sa panahon ng pagbubuntis, kung minsan ay wala sa mga ito sintomas nangyayari. Another point to remember is that while these symptoms are common during pregnancy, sometimes none of these symptoms occurs.

Kung makakaranas ka ng mga palatandaan at sintomas ng pagbubuntis, bumili ng bahay sa pagsubok pagbubuntis at tingnan ang iyong doktor – alinman upang simulan ang prenatal care at kumpirmahin ang iyong pagbubuntis o upang matukoy ang sanhi ng iyong mga sintomas kung hindi ka buntis. If you experience the signs and symptoms of pregnancy, buy a home pregnancy test and see your doctor – either to begin prenatal care and confirm your pregnancy or to determine the cause of your symptoms if you’re not pregnant.

Tip: Subaybayan ang inyong panahon. Tip : Keep track of your periods. Markahan ang unang araw, pati na rin ang huling araw, ng iyong panahon sa isang kalendaryo – araw ang isa sa mga panregla cycle ay ang araw ng iyong panahon ay nagsisimula at ito ay ang batayan para sa pagpapasiya ng angkop na mga petsa sa panahon ng pagbubuntis. Mark the first day, as well as the last day, of your period on a calendar – day one of the menstrual cycle is the day your period starts and is the basis for determining due dates during pregnancy.

Çocuk Felci Nedir? Belirtileri ve Aşısı

CoSKuN — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 17:29:04 +0000

Bulaşıcılığı oldukça yüksek olan, polio virüsü denilen mikropla bulaşan bir hastalıktır.Kuluçka süresi 10-14 gündür.1-4 yaşlarında (% 30 ikinci yaşta) daha sık görülür.Mikrobun kaynağı hasta insanların dışkısı ve boğaz salgılarıdır.Dışkı ile kirlenmiş su ve besinlerin yenip içilmesi veya kalabalık yerlerde havaya yayılan mikropların solunması ile bulaşmaktadır.

Hastalık genellikle belirtisiz ve sinsi gidişlidir.Hafif ateş, başağrısı, baş dönmesi, bulantı-kusma gibi nezlede görülebilecek belirtiler ortaya çıkar.Kimi hastalarda hastalık bu belirtilerle sınırlı kalırken kimilerindede kalıcı felçler ortaya çıkar.Çocuk ayağa kalkmakta veya yürümekte eskisine oranla daha fazla güçlük çekmeya başlar.Felç olan bölgede (genellikle bacaklar) kaslar sert ve kasılmış değil, yumuşaktır ve duyu kaybı yoktur.Bazı vakalarda solunum kasları ve diafragmada felce uğrayıp solunum güçlüklerine neden olabilmektedir.Ölüm oranı % 2-20 arasındadır.Beyindeki solunum merkezininde etkilenmesiyle bu oranlar % 40 lara kadar çıkabilmektedir.

Hastalığın tedavisi yoktur.Ömür boyu kalıcı saakatlıklara neden olabilmektedir.

Korunma:Aşılanma ile olur. Tüm dünyada çiçek hastalığında olduğu gibi kökünün kazınabilmesi için yoğun aşılama çalışmaları yapılmış ve birçok ülkede başarılı sonuçlar alınmıştır.Yurdumuzda da hala görülen bu hastalıkla mücadele için bu yıl 26 Nisan-2 Mayıs ve 31 Mayıs-6 Haziran tarihleri arasında 5. si yapılmakta olan ULUSAL AŞI GÜNLERİ ile hastalığın kökünün kazınmasına yönelik çalışmalar başarıyla yürütülmektedir.

Ağızdan verilen ve toplumsal bağışıklamanın sağlanmasında önemli rol oynayan aşının yanında kişisel bağışıklamanın sağlanabilmesi için oldukça güvenilir ve etkin olan , enjeksiyon şeklinde uygulanan şekli mevcuttur.

En etkili aşılama şeklinin 2,3,4. veya 2,4,6. aylarda enjeksiyon tarzında yapılan ölü aşı ile 18. ayda ağızdan verilecek hatırlatma dozu olduğu kabul edilmektedir.

Soğuğun Faydaları Nelerdir?

CoSKuN — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 15:36:44 +0000

Pek çok insan soğuktan hoşlanmasa da onun da onun nimetlerinden yararlanabilir. Soğuk hava ve buz, eklem ağrılarından, baş ağrısına, saçlardan cilde kadar pek çok soruna deva olabiliyor.

Ruslar ise soğuğun faydalarından en çok yararlanan insanlar olarka dünya üzerinde biliniyorlar. İşte soğuğun yararları.

Eklem Ağrıları İçin

Kriyoterapi (buz tedavisi) adı verilen bu yöntemle vücuttaki çeşitli romatizma, eklem ağrıları ve şişlikler azaltılabiliyor. Çünkü soğuk, damarları sıkıştırarak her türlü eklem ağrılarını önemli ölçüde yok ediyor. Bu yöntemi kliniklerde yaptıracağınız gibi tekniklerini öğrenerek evinizde de uygulayabilirsiniz. Bunun için ağrıyan bölgeniz üzerine buz torbası koyarak kompres yapabilirsiniz. Soğuk, etkisini 20 dakika içinde gösterecektir. Ancak buzu deriye doğrudan temas ettirmeden bir beze sararak uygulamak daha faydalı.

Hematomları Yok Ediyor

Soğuk kompres, damarlara doğrudan etki ederek yumuşak dokular arasında kanın toplanmasını yani hematomu azaltarak ödem oluşumunu engelliyor. Bu yöntemden faydalanmak için uzmanın önerdiği bir süre ve sıklıkta ( 48 – 72 saat boyunca, genel-likle 1/2 – 1 saat arayla 8 – 10 dakika kadar) buzlu kompresin o bölge üzerine uygulanması gerek.

Baş Ağrısında Etkili

Uzmanlar soğuğun baş ağrısını gidermede de etkili olduğunu söylüyor. Bunun için başınızda ağrı olduğunda bir poşete buz doldurun ve ince bir beze sarılı biçimde ağrıyan bölge üzerinde uygulayın. Soğuk, hassas olan sinirleri uyuşturarak ağrıyı azaltacaktır. Diş ağrılarınız olduğunda da yanağınıza koyacağınız buz torbası ağrıyı dindirirecektir

Buz Odalarında Metabolizma Hızlanıyor

Kuzey bölgelerde – 110 derecede olan soğuk odalar kullanılarak hastalar 1 ya da 2.5 dakika içeride bırakılıyor. Bu yöntem kalp hastalıkları ve soğuk alerjisi olanlar hariç herkese uygulanabiliyor.

Cilt Lekelerini Gideriyor

Leke üzerine uygulanan basınçlı buz, cilt üzerinde bulunan siğil, doğum ve yanık lekelerini yok edebiliyor. Bu yöntemle özel bir aparatla çok ince buz parçaları yüksek basınçla cildin alt tabakalarına gönderiliyor ve tekrar emiliyor. Böylece cildin o tabakasının kendi kendisine yenilemesi sağlanıyor. Cilt kendi kendini yenilediğinde de lekeler ortadan kalkıyor. Yöntem, güzellik merkezlerinde uygulanıyor.

Saçları Canlandırıyor

Dökülen saçlarımızın yeniden çıkmasına yardımcı olabilmek amacıyla başınıza yaklaşık sıfır derecede hazırlanmış buz torbası ya da özel hazırlanmış bir kasket yerleştirebilirsiniz. Uzmanlar, soğuğun da etkisiyle saç derisinde bulunan kan damarlarının büzüldüğünü ve saç köklerinin canlandığını anlatıyor.

Bazı Tümörlere Karşı

Cerrahi operasyon yardımıyla uygulanan basınçlı buzun; karaciğer, akciğer, prostat, kolon ve böbrek üzerinde yer alan küçük çapta bazı tümörlerin yok edilmesinde önemli ölçüde rol oynadığı söyleniyor.

İsviçrede Çocuklara Prezervatif

CoSKuN — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 15:33:51 +0000

İsviçre’de 12 yaşındaki erkek çocuklar için üretilen ekstra küçük prezervatifler piyasaya çıkıyor.

Hükümetin 12 ila 14 yaşındaki çocukların seks sırasında yeterince korunmadığını ortaya koyan araştırmasının ardından, Hotshot adlı kondom üretildi.

İsviçre’de hükümete bağlı çocuklar ve gençlerle ilgili federal komisyon tarafından yapılan araştırmada 10 ila 20 yaş arasındaki bin bin 480 kişiyle görüşüldü. Araştırma, 12-14 yaş arasındaki çocukların 1990′lara göre daha fazla oranda cinsel ilişkiye girdiğini gösterdi.

Lamprecht AG. tarafından üretilen Hotshot prezervatifinin altılı paket fiyatı 4.7 sterlin (yaklaşık 11 TL). Firma şimdilik sadece İsviçre’de üretim yapıyor, ama cinsel ilişki yaşının çok düşük olduğu İngiltere pazarına girmeyi de planlıyor.

Standart prezervatifin çapı 5.2 santimetre iken, Hotshot’ınki 4.5 santimetre. Uzunluklar ise aynı (19 santimetre).

Almanya’da 13 ila 20 yaş arasındaki 12 bin 970 kişi arasında yapılan bir araştırmada, araştırmaya katılanların dörtte biri stardart kondomun çok geniş olduğundan yakınmıştı.

Aile planlama grupları ve İsviçre AIDS Federasyonu, hükümetin yanı sıra başka örgütlerin de yaptığı birkaç araştırmanın ardından Hotshot’ın üretilmesi için kampanya yürüttü.

Hükümet araştırmasının başındaki Nancy Bodmer, “Erkek çocuklarının son derece riskli bir davranış sergilediklerini gösteren araştırma bizleri şoke etti. Kendilerini korumama eğilimi içindeler. Cinsel bilinç geliştirmiyorlar. Yaptıkları şeyin sonuçlarını anlamıyorlar ve genç kızları da bu sonuçlarla baş başa bırakıyorlar. Bu sonuç, erkenden önlem almanın anlamlı olduğu gösterdi” diye konuştu.

İsviçre’de ergenlik yaşı 16. Cinsel ilişkide yaş farkı üçten fazla değilse bir ceza söz konusu olmuyor. Firmanın açılmayı düşündüğü İngiltere pazarı ise son derece hareketli! İngiltere Avrupa’daki en yüksek genç hamilelik oranlarına sahip olan ülke.

Sex’in Beyin Üzerindeki Etkisi Nedir?

CoSKuN — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 15:29:17 +0000

Seks fizyolojik bir ihtiyaçtır. Canlıların üremesi için gerekli olan dürtünün yüksek seviyede olması sağlıklı bir beyni ifade eder. Seks her iki cinsi de rahatlatır. işte beynin insan üzerindeki değişik etkileri!

Kadın ve erkek beyni anatomik yapı olarak aynıdır. Fakat salgılanan hormonlar nedeni ile işleyişleri farklıdır. Zeka olarak erkek beyninin kadın beynine bir üstünlüğü yoktur.

Kadınların daha duygusal oldukları kitaplarda yazar ve daha ince düşünceli olurlar. Tanrı erkeklere dünya kurulduğundan bu yana kadınlardan daha üstün olan fiziki güçleri nedeniyle doğa ile mücadele kadına ve çocuğuna bakma görevini vermiştir. Bence erkeklerin duygusal olarak etkilenmeleri yukarda söylediğim kitabi bilgilerin aksine daha fazladır. Erkeklerin güçlü olması gerektiği hissi duygularını saklamasına neden olmuştur. Çevremize şöyle bir bakalım aşk için erkekler mi yoksa kadınlar mı yuvalarını kolay dağıtabiliyor? Tabi ki erkekler duygularına daha az hakim oluyor. Kadınlar duygusal,macera duygularını daha çabuk kontrol etmektedirler.

Bunun yanına kadınlara analık görevi verildiği için mens döneminde, gebelikte, luhusalık döneminde hormonları daima değişim halindedir. Hormonların etkisiyle daha sevgi dolu evlatları üzerinde daha iç güdüsel korumacı, daha sevgi dolu, çevreye karşı daha alıngan ve daha narin ve bazen daha sinirli ve hırçın olabilirler.

SORU: Kadın ve erkek beyni daha farklı şekilde mi dinlenir?

YANIT: Kadın ve erkek beyninin dinlenmesi tabiî ki farklı değildir. İnsanı dinlendiren iyi bir tatil, spor, hobiler vs. gibi etkinlikler iki cins içinde geçerlidir.

SORU: Aşk beyni yorar mı?

YANIT: Maalesef aşk beyni yorar. Çünkü özellikle karşılıksız duygularda kişilik yapısı da müsaitse aşk takıntıya dönüşebilir ve bir takıntı hastalığı haline gelebilir. Beyin hep bir noktaya yönlendiği için iş verimi düşer sosyal hayata adaptasyon bozulur. Sonrasında uykusuzluk ajitasyon aşırı sinir konsantre olamama gibi belirtiler oluşur. Bu durum tedaviyi gerektirir.

SORU: Seksin beyin üzerindeki etkisi nedir?

YANIT: Seks fizyolojik bir ihtiyaçtır. Canlıların üremesi için gerekli olan dürtünün yüksek seviyede olması sağlıklı bir beyni ifade eder. Seks her iki cinsi de rahatlatır. Bunun için seks problemi olan kişilerde aşırı sinir, huzursuzluk, kendine olan güvenin azalması vs gibi olumsuz belirtiler görülür. Seks sırasında beyinde salgılanan hormonların erkek ve kadın için bir çok faydası vardır. Örneğin, düzenli seks ve çocuk sahibi olan kadınların bazı kanser türlerine yakalanma riskleri daha düşüktür. Bu hormonlar aynı zamanda depresyondan kişiyi korur. Düzenli seks hayatı olanların işe adaptasyonları iş verimleri artar.

SORU: Beyni dinlendirmek için detoks öneriyor musunuz? Yani tatil süresince hiç yapılmaması gereken şeyler nedir?

YANIT: İki tür detoks yapmak lazım.

1) Gıda detoksu: Özellikle belli zamanlarda Fast –Food gibi hazır gıdalardan, hayvansal kökenli hazır gıdalardan kızartmalardan ve aşırı içkiden özellikle hormonlu bitkisel besinlerle beslenme hatta protein ihtiyacını baklagillerden almak, eti olabildiğince kesmek gerekir. Günümüzde doğal gıdaların azlığı maalesef bir çok hastalığın oluşmasına zemin hazırlamıştır. Bunun için yılın belli dönemlerinde gıda detoksu yapmak gerekir.

2) Zihinsel detoks: Beyinimizi işgal eden ve enerjimizi olumsuz etkileyen kişileri ve mekanları hayatımızdan olabildiğince çıkarmamız gerekir. Örneğin huzursuzluk veren iş ortamı, mutsuz ilişkiler, vb gibi.

SORU: Zeka ile beyin arasında nasıl bir ilişki vardır?

YANIT: Genetik yapınında kontrolünde olan zeka çevresel etmenler ve iyi bir öğrenim hayatı ile maksimum seviyeye çıkar.

Bir olay karşısında ihtimal üretme akılı gösterir. Kişi ne kadar ihtimal üretiyor ise o kadar akıllı demektir.Zeka ise o ihtimaller arasından en can alıcıyı alıp uygulamaktır. Yani beyini etkin kullanmak ve başarılı olmak için yalnız akıl yetmez,akıl ve zeka beraber olmalıdır.

SORU: Beyinimizin gerçekten tamamını kullanıyor muyuz. Tamamen kullanmak için neler yapmalıyız?

YANIT: Maalesef henüz beyinimizin çok az bölümünü kullanmaktayız. Belki de beyinin hepsini kullanabilsek çok farklı bir dünya yaratabilir ve farklı boyutları görüp algılayabilirdik.Fakat bugünkü dünya koşullarında normal zeka düzeyine sahip insanlar beyinin ancak % 3 – 10′u arasında kullanabilmektedirler.

SORU: Beyinin kullanılma kapasitesini ve hafızayı arttırmak için neler yapılmalı?

YANIT:

1) Beslenmeye dikkat edilmeli. Özellikle sabahları iyi bir kahvaltı ile güne başlanıp gün içinde öğün atlamak ve hazır gıdalardan uzak durup doğal beslenmek gerekir.

2) Zaman buldukça bol bol spor yapmak gerekir.

3) Eğitim hayatına önem verip,özellikle okumayı ihmal etmemek gerekir.

4) Beynimizi yoran stresli ortamlardan mümkün olduğunca uzak durmak zaman zaman tatile çıkmak stresli ortamdan zarar görmüşsek psikolojik destek almak.

5) Sanatla olabildiğince fazla ilgilenmek ilgi duyulan müzik,resim,el sanatı vs. gibi hobilerle ilgilenmek

SORU: İnsanların bir kısmı beyinlerinin sol, bir kısmı sağ tarafını mı kullanıyor, bu neyi sağlıyor ?

YANIT: İnsanların bir çoğu beyninin sol tarafını kullanmaktadırlar. Beynin sağ tarafı ritm, hayal kurma, renkler, boyut, hacim, müzik gibi fonksiyonları yapar. Sol tarafı ise ; konuşma ,matematiksel işlemler, diziler, sayılar ve analiz gibi konularda üstündür.

Okuldaki eğitim düzeni, beyinin sadece sol tarafını geliştiren matematik, fen bilgisi, türkçe gibi derslere önem verirken beyinin sağ tarafını geliştiren resim, müzik, el sanatı gibi derslere pek fazla önem vermez. Bunun için sol beyin daha fazla kullanılır. Halbuki; tarihte başarılı olan insanlara baktığımız zaman bu kişiler bilerek veya bilmeyerek sağ ve sol beyinlerini geliştiren insanlar olduğunu görürüz. Sağ beynin; duyguların ve hayallerin etkisinde olduğu ve bütünsel öğrendiği bu yüzden bilgileri sırayla işleyen sol lobun aksine daha hızlı ve etkili öğrendiği anlaşılmıştır.

SORU: Uyku beyni dinlendirmek için en etkili yollardan biri mi ? Hangi saatte uyumak daha yararlıdır ?

YANIT: Yeryüzünde uyumayan hiçbir canlı yoktur. Halkın uyumaz olarak bildiği akrep bile uyur. Uyku canlılar için fizyolojik ve şart olan bir davranıştır. Beyni dinlendir ve olumsuz düşüncelerden temizler. Vücut direncini artırır. Metabolizmayı düzenleyen hormonların salınımı gün ışığıyla ve karanlıkla değişir. İnsan vücüdu için faydalı olan gece uykusudur. Vücut metabolizması buna göre ayarlanmıştır. 6 – 10 saat arasındaki gece uykusu yeterlidir.

Modern yaşamın getirileri, pek çok bireyin geceleri kendilerine uyku için daha az zaman ayırmalarına neden olur. Bunun sonucu pek çok insan gündüz, özellikle dış uyaranlar azaldığı zaman uyuklarlar. Bu da iş verimini düşürür, konsantrasyonu azaltır, beynin daha çok yıpranmasına sebep olur. Uyku yetmezliği ; gece uykusunu uyuyan ve dinlenmiş bireyler için normal değildir.Bunun için gece uykusunu önemsemeliyiz.

SORU: Şehir hayatının beynimiz üzerinde nasıl bir etkisi var, beyni daha mı çok geliştiriyor yoksa daha mı çok yoruyor ?

YANIT: Günümüzün şehir hayatında beynimizi daha fazla kullanmaktayız. Büyük şirketlerde yoğun çalışmak iş ile ilgili konularda zaman zaman eğitim almak tabiî ki beynin gelişmesini olumlu etkiler. Ayrıca şehir hayatındaki sosyal insanlar kullanmasını bilirsek çok faydalıdır. Tiyatro , spor salonları , müzik kursları vs. beynin sağ tarafını geliştirir.

Bunun yanında, şehir hayatının stresli yaşantısı, trafik, hava kirliliği , yoğun çalışma, vakitsizlik ve buna bağlı sosyal ilişkilerinin azlığı beyni yorar. Demek ki şehir hayatı beyni geliştirir ama aynı zamanda daha çok yorar.

SORU: Fiziksel olarak çalışan biri ile bütün günü masa başında geçiren biri aynı oranda mı yorulur? Beynin çok çalışması bedeni gerçekten yorar mı?

YANIT: Dengeli bir yaşam için beyin yorgunluğu ile beden yorgunluğunun eşit olması gerekir.Tüm günü haraketsiz masa başında geçiren kişinin beyni yorulur,fakat bedeni buna paralel olarak yorulmaz. Eğer bedeni spor yaparak yormazsak bir süre sonra beyin bedeni kendi kuralları ile yorar. Örneğin uykusuzluk başlar. Fizik gücü ile çalışanlarda oluşan yorgunluk iyi bir uyku ve dinlenme ile geçer. Fakat beyin yorgunluğunun geçmesi zaman alır.

Zihinsel detoks için

1.Düzenli uyumak
2.Düzenli beslenme aşırı alkolden uzak durmak
3.Enerjimizi olumsuz etkiliyen mekanlardan ve kişilerden uzak durmak,uzaklaşamıyorsak profesyonel destek almak
4.Düzenli spor yapmak
5.Düzenli seks yapmak
6.Yeteneklere göre müzik resim gibi hobiler edinmek

Akıl nedir zeka nedir?

Karşılaştığımız sorunları çözmek için üretilen ihtimalleri akıl belirler.Bu ihtimallerin içinden çözüm en doğru olanı bulup uygulamayı zeka belirler.Zeka genetik mirastır,akıl ise zaman içinde kazanılan eğitim ve tecrübe ile gelişir. İş hayatında başarılı olmak için akıllı ve zeki insanların bir araya gelmesi gerekir.
