The content of these chemicals in cigarette smoke more are released into the air and can last up to several hours in the room even though smokers have stubbed out his cigarette.

Smoking can lead to changes in tissue structure and function of the lungs and respiratory tract. Smoking can increase the number of cells undergoing inflammation and damage to the alveolar in the lung tissue. Smoking can cause mild inflammation to the narrowing of the small airways as a result of the increased number of cells and mucus buildup.

With the changes in lung structure, lung function in smokers may change. The changing structure of the lung is the leading cause Disease Chronic Obstructive Lung, such as asthma, chronic bronchitis and inflammation (emphysema) in the lungs.

Another danger of smoking is that it can cause cancer of the lungs. The content of carcinogenic particles contained in cigarettes may increase the risk of lung cancer. Smokers are more at risk of lung cancer 10 to 30 times.

That's the danger of smoking on lung health. That's just the lungs alone, there are many bad effects of smoking, such as coronary heart disease and stroke.

Substitution Bone Affect Diabetes

When body bone bones broken and replaced with new bone will appear hormone called osteocalcin. This hormone turned out to be a potent drug for diabetics. Unfortunately, this hormone is rarely arises because waiting for broken bones.

Scientists find hormone osteocalcin can alter insulin production in the pancreas, which in turn improves the ability of other cells to take up glucose in the blood.

However, this only works when the hormones of the bones and bone turnover occurs naturally. Research conducted by scientists from Columbia University Medical Center have finally concluded the hormone osteocalcin has an effect on diabetes.

"Osteocalcin released bone, can regulate glucose levels in the blood. From these findings, it can be made better drugs to help control type 2 diabetes," said Dr. Gerard Karsenty, who led the study, as reported by the BBC, Friday (23/7 / 2010).

Type 2 diabetes is the most common condition caused by diabetes lifestyle rather than genetic (diabetes type 1). Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body no longer respond to insulin correctly which causes loss of control of blood sugar.

Well, if it appears that the hormone osteocalcin can alter insulin production in the pancreas so that the blood sugar levels in people with diabetes can be controlled.

"But this study has important implications for patients with diabetes and osteoporosis," said Karsenty.

These findings provide important implications are:
First, this study shows that osteocalcin is involved in diabetes.
Second, the bone may be a new target in the treatment of type 2 diabetes because it can treat an abnormal glucose.
Third, osteocalcin could become a treatment for type 2 diabetes.

"This study could open up the possibility of manufacturing a drug that can treat or prevent type 2 diabetes," said Dr Victoria King, head of research at Diabetes UK.

But researchers also cautioned that the bone strengthening drug consumption is used to treat osteoporosis, may disrupt the hormone osteocalcin spending.

There are several natural ways to overcome uric acid. but it's good we have to know first about the disease.



Uric Acid Disease

Uric acid is a disease of purine metabolic waste substances from the rest of the food we eat. Purine itself is a substance contained in any food that comes from living bodies. In other words, in the living body there is this purine substances, and because we eat living things, then moves into purine substance in our bodies. (Wikipedia).

While the high trigger uric acid in the body is the food and other compounds that contain lots of purines. In fact, 85 percent of the body's supply of purine compounds for every day needs. This means that the needs of purine diet is only about 15 percent.

Gout is the result of excessive consumption of purine substances. Purines into uric acid the body treated, but if excess uric acid levels, so that the kidneys are unable to remove uric acid crystals accumulate in the joints. As a result, joint pain, swollen and inflamed.

In fact we often forget to make eye care, but as well as other parts of the body, the eyes may be affected by the disorder or health problems. Disorder-disorder can be caused by air that is not clean or polluted, solar radiation, radiation from too long in front of computers, and other disorders.

Studies conducted by the Eye Disease Prevalence Research Group (2004) estimates that in 2020 the number of people with eye disease and blindness in the world will reach 55 million people. The study also mentions that the eye disease and blindness will increase, especially for those who are aged over 65 years. A person aged 80 years and over who are 8% of the total population, blindness by 69%.

Health disorders of the eye is a common vision impairment, symptoms of red eyes without any decrease in vision function, and red eyes with visual function down. Until now, the eye disease that affects many are cataract, glaucoma, and infection.

Along with the increased attention and knowledge of the influence of nutrition on health, especially the health of the eye causes the rapid growth of the market for health products, food medicine, health food, health medicines, dietary supplements, health supplements, herbal remedies, natural cures eye. Most of the products for eye health supplements marketed now shaped, food medicine, health food, health medicines, dietary supplements, health supplements, herbal medicine, natural medicine. In addition to antioxidant compounds (vitamins A, C, and E) that has previously been shown to improve eye health, other compounds such as lutein, zeaxanthin, and astaxanthin, recently known as a compound that may improve eye health.

Lutein is a yellow carotenoid family of compounds are found in many green vegetables. Lutein is found in the macula and is believed to protect the eyes from oxidative damage by the sun's ultraviolet radiation (UV).

Macula is in the middle of the retina and directly adjacent to the lens of the eye. Macula is a small area that contains millions of cells that help produce sharp eyesight to read or see objects clearly.

Another carotenoid compounds present in the macula is is zeaxanthin, which are known to provide benefits for eye health.

Research conducted by Chitchumroonchokchai and colleagues in 2004 from Ohio State University, showed that lutein and zeaxanthin may protect human lens cells from UV exposure, which is a major cause of cataracts. In addition, they compared the antioxidant activity of lutein and zeaxanthin as vitamin E. The results showed that lutein and zeaxanthin showed 10 times higher activity than vitamin E in protecting the lens cells from damage caused by ultraviolet light.

The same year also conducted research by Neuringer and colleagues, demonstrated the ability of lutein and zeaxanthin in eye health. While testing in animals, sponsored by DSM Nutritional Products Switzerland, showed that supplementation or addition of lutein and zeaxanthin increase antioxidant activity in the blood.

Group of other carotenoid compounds that actually has the ability to protect the macula from UV exposure is astaxanthin. Guerin et al. (2003) stated that the ability of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds astaxanthin can provide eye protection from UV rays.

Until now, the antioxidant activity of the compounds lutein, zeaxanthin, and astaxanthin answer mechanism of the increase in eye health. Free radicals from UV rays or contamination of air, into the eye resulted in the oxidation of molecules susceptible to the lens of the eye.

Relationship Tuberculosis and HIV / AIDS



In parts of the world there, exactly in the plains of the African continent, TB disease is one cause of death in people with HIV / AIDS. Even in America, about 63% of people with HIV are also infected with TB bacteria. Why is that? How TB and its association with HIV / AIDS? Consider the following explanation.

Patients with HIV / AIDS have the stamina is very low. This is because the HIV virus in the body's immune
system attacks the body. Consequently, as weak as any disease of the body, the immune system can not even ward. Moreover, the TB bacteria attack is very strong. Patients with the disease of HIV / AIDS is definitely going up. That way, he'll be active TB disease is severe. And no wonder, the disease eventually leads them to death.

Testing the presence or absence of disease in patients with HIV / AIDS conducted by the tuberculin test and a blood test as early as possible. As explained earlier, this is because they are among the high risk of tuberculosis infection-causing bacteria. Not just to find peyakit active TB, latent TB must always be monitored. So check TB disease are performed annually.

Prevention of TB in people with HIV / AIDS programs be conducted with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR TB). Drugs were given at least two types, namely isoniasid and rifampin. MDR TB is a treatment program that is very difficult. The program is also very fatal (deadly). However, for the cure of tuberculosis in people with HIV / Aids, every country should do.

As a form of continuation of MDR TB programs, prevention programs in the United States there is a fairly extreme TB. His name is directly observed therapy (DOT). That is a prevention / treatment of health workers who treat patients with TB case to keep it healthy. Pengonsumsian medicine is done by direct supervision when they eat them.

Therefore, patients with TB disease and its association with HIV / AIDS are very close, people with HIV / AIDS receive supervision. This is of course so that patients are not at risk of HIV AIDS die from complications of tuberculosis.

That is the explanation of things. Both the TB and the relationship with HIV / AIDS and others. Hopefully useful.
