Stress can be experienced by anyone and can affect a person’s body condition. But immediately to cope with stress as it can cause hair loss. “Stress can trigger hair loss, because the two are interrelated conditions, but this does not happen on a permanent basis,” said Daniel Hall-Flavin K, MD.
Daniel said that if a person can control the stress experienced then the hair will grow back. This condition usually occurs when a person is the sudden loss of hair when you brush or shampoo.
Note that there are three types of hair loss that may be associated with high levels of stress, namely:
1. Alopecia areata, which is caused by severe stress levels. This condition occurs when white blood cells attack the hair follicles so that hair growth and cause hair loss stop.
2. Telogen effluvium is caused by physical or emotional stress to promote a large number of hairs to enter the resting phase. In recent months the possibility of hair loss when combing or unexpectedly found shampoo.
3. Trichotillomania is the existence of an irresistible urge to pull hair from the scalp, eyebrows or other body areas. The removal of this hair can occur when a negative or uncomfortable feelings such as stress, anxiety, tension, fatigue, loneliness or frustration.
Some types of cancer to date, no known cause. Scientists say that 40 percent of cancers, including brain tumors and leukemia are caused by viruses.
It is based on research that has found the virus in various types of cancer that had not previously thought to be related to cancer. If scientists could investigate further and prove that, then it might pave the way for the vaccine against certain types of cancer and therapies for the cure.
For decades it has been known that viruses can cause some types of cancer, but it is estimated that only about 10-20 percent. But apparently, he knows that the figure reached 40 percent of cancer cases.
Known viruses include hepatitis B and C can cause liver cancer and Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) that can cause cervical cancer. But researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden found an association between a virus with medulloblastoma (brain tumor most common in children).
Besides the discovery two years ago found Merkel cell carcinoma (an aggressive skin cancer) is often followed by infection with human polyomavirus, which is an infection that is common in animals but can spread to humans.
“If we can understand how the virus, then you can prevent and even create a therapy that uses the patient’s immune system to destroy infected cells or cancer,” said Professor Alan Rickinson, University of Birmingham, as cited in DailyMail.
This process still requires further study, since this virus works by attacking the cells and produce more new virus. And there’s a theory that cancer-causing virus can hide in cells for years.
Here are some viruses that can cause cancer, namely:
- Hepatitis B and C cause liver cancer.
- Human Papillomavirus (HPV) causes cervical cancer.
- Merkel cell polyomavirus causes skin cancer.
- Cytomegalovirus can cause brain tumors in children.
- Epstein-Barr virus causes cancer of the blood and lymphatic system.
- XMRV may cause prostate cancer.
There are several ways you can do to make someone stop smoking. However, recent studies show acupuncture is less effective in helping people quit smoking.
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese therapy using needles to stimulate specific body points. This technique works on the concept of vital energy called Qi or Chi. Previously Methods used acupuncture to reduce symptoms of nicotine withdrawal (nicotine withdrawal) are usually experienced by a person when it comes to quitting smoking, especially in heavy cigarette addicts.
Previous studies have suggested that acupuncture can reduce symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. This treatment by inserting needles into the outer ear or other body part for 15-20 minutes and is repeated several days later.
However, the results of the meta-analysis of 13 studies conducted by White and colleagues at Peninsula Medical School, Universities of Exeter and Plymouth, England, revealed the results of the effectiveness of acupuncture depends on the location of the selected points, as cited in MedIndia.
The experts finally randomized clinical trials comparing acupuncture, laser therapy and other treatments to quit smoking. The results found no consistent evidence that acupuncture, acupressure or laser therapy may help people quit smoking.
This suggests that acupuncture therapy may be less effective in helping someone to quit smoking compared with other therapies that are evidence-based therapies such as Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT).
Yet the researchers reveal perform acupuncture may be better than doing nothing, at least to help in the short term. However, further studies are needed to determine the points where the body can effectively help people quit smoking.
The jeans are deliberately somewhat shabby, once a very popular trend and appeared in fashion. But because it is done by firing a high-pressure sand, the jeans factory workers, threatens to cause serious lung damage.
This risk indirectly by Suman Howlader, workers in jeans factory in Bangladesh who had worked three years doing the work called sandblasting. Until one day he said goodbye to high pressure is of sand, suddenly, I was vomiting blood.
For some time before, Suman has begun to feel that there are irregularities in the lungs. For example, making it difficult to breathe and cough frequently, but by a doctor, even confused with tuberculosis or TB infection and antibiotics only. The real problem was revealed after being questioned by a lung specialist at a hospital in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. Suman specialist had a diagnosis of pulmonary silicosis, lung damage caused by dust from silica sand particles.
“They (the factory owner) said the work is safe. However, if done continuously, the powder will fill the room and finally, more and more of our aspiration to silica dust,” said Suman while being treated in hospital, cited by Medindi. Sandblasting technique to change the color of the jeans to be pretty boring actually been banned in developed countries, especially in the United States and Europe. However, in poor countries like Bangladesh, this technique is still popular because it is cheap.
In Bangladesh, an estimated 10 000 workers and Suman dispersed in about 500 factories of jeans. Workers are at the same risk Suman, because in a day’s work for 10 hours and jeans with sandblasted 200 to 300 pieces. Protection of jeans factory workers in the country are also very low, as long as it works just use a mask made of fabric that is certainly not optimal silica dust filter that is very soft. Moreover, most workers are not including insurance.
Apart from sand, silica powder was also on a variety of other materials that come from the bowels of the earth such as rocks. Therefore, the risk of silicosis is also experienced by the builders of every day to work with stones without the use of masks.
Memory loss can have a sudden onset or gradual. Memory loss can also be permanent or temporary. Memory loss may be limited to the inability to remember recent events, past events or a combination of both.
Although the normal aging process can lead to difficulties in learning and retention of new material. Normal aging itself does not cause significant memory loss unless there is an accompanying disease and illness is the cause of memory loss.
If memory loss when old age can not be very detrimental to daily activities. But if, when a young man has begun to reduce their memory, of course, would greatly interfere with daily activities.
Harvard Medical School suggest some tips to help improve memory, among others:
1. Keep the use of calendars, lists and address books.
Using a calendar, lists, and address books can be to remember certain information. Even if a time will require that information, we do not need to look at our record again to remember. Because writing is the same as the repetition of new information, so that one day we can remember.
2. Absorb new information in small portions, or just the basic course.
The central events are easier to digest what is also easier to remember. The central events can also be the keyword to get all information that has been stored in the brain.
3. They focus on all the senses we have time to learn and absorb new information.
Focus or activate all the senses we have learned so you can absorb all the information to all the details.
4. Use your brain to write the new information, draw a picture, or say something out loud.
You can train the brain to be able to still have a good memory.
5. Repeat mention or review the new information.
With the revision of the information may help to remember that the information bit by bit. When getting new information, we may remember that information. However, you can forget the details of information in general. By repeating discuss the new information will be useful to remember every detail.
6. Training for improving memory in the hands of a medical professional.
After training, you may be able to get special tips to improve memory. In addition, we can help train your brain to be more able to concentrate and remember.
Drowsiness that make it easier to sleep arise because of the hormone melatonin. In addition to calming hormone serotonin, which also help the body more relaxed so that sleep is more readily available.

To monitor heart rate, usually the patient should be in bed with several wires connected to the monitor. Now you can do as you walk, because scientists are developing a smart shirt can monitor heart rate and body temperature.
Scientists in Spain have successfully developed a smart shirt or a shirt that can control people’s pulse and body heart temperature enough. Smart Shirts will be sold in six months.
Smart shirts are made of ‘e-textile’, which has a conductive electrode embedded in the structure. This material is used to measure the speed of a person’s heart and can even be used for ECG (electrocardiogram). Raw data collected by the “Acquisition Device” (AD) is worn around the neck inside the shirt, then send it wirelessly (wireless) to a management system that manfsirkan results.
AD also contains a thermometer that press against the skin and an accelerometer, which reveal the patient’s temperature when lying or sitting, and how active they are.
“The idea of this device in order not to disrupt the patients. You can control your heart rate without wires because wireless platform, so that they could stay in bed or walking as they want,” said José Ignacio Moreno, Carlos III University of Madrid, as reported by DailyMail. The system also has alarms that can be customized to each patient’s physician to issue a warning if the temperature or heart rate increased to levels that are harmful to patients.
T-Shirt, called the “‘Lobin healthcare-monitoring system,” developed over 18 months by four Spanish companies in collaboration with José Moreno, Gregorio Lopez and Victor Custodio Carlos III University of Madrid.
These shirts also have been tested in 2010 in 5 patients in the Cardiology Unit, Hospital La Paz in Madrid. Investigators said the three-month trial produced promising results that are comparable with traditional monitors, as long as patients do not make sudden movements like jumping.
“In the short term, the shirt is not intended to replace the installation of ECG. However, the cards can be used to monitor the status of patients with long periods of time,” Moreno said.
