Brittle Bones Through Face Detection

Fragility of the bone can make a person susceptible to injury and bone pain. Knowing the fragility of the bone not only through medical examination, but also the face. Detection of bone fragility by conditions that appear shriveled.

According to the research team from Yale School of Medicine in the United States, women have more wrinkles, the condition tends to brittle bones. This makes them more at risk of suffering a painful osteoporosis or fractures that are difficult to cure.

Researchers analyzed 114 women aged 40s and early 50s who just passed menopause. Excluding those who had been injecting botox or other cosmetic procedures, for reducing wrinkles.

Wrinkles on the face and neck 11 points and then calculated the respondents. The depth of the wrinkles on those points were also measured. Researchers also noted the firmness of skin on the forehead and cheek area. Then, using X-ray technology their bone density measured.

From the analysis, women who have severe wrinkles conditions are known to have weak bones. So, not only the conditions of severe wrinkles, but also the bones were in a weak condition.

"We found, deep wrinkles and severe associated with bone fragility. The bad wrinkles, more severe bone fragility. Although the relationship between bone and the skin was evident, both built by the same thing that is collagen," said one researcher, Lubna Pal, who also works as an expert hormone, as quoted by the Daily Mail.

With age, collagen production also changes and impact on skin condition, namely wrinkles and sagging skin. Decreased collagen production which also trigger a decrease in the quality and quantity of bone.

"We want to know whether the intensity of skin wrinkles may allow identification of women at risk of bone fragility," said Pal.

He also stressed the importance of this research. That's because it was found that the appearance and physical properties of the skin may reflect bone quality. Thus, enabling physicians to identify the risk of fractures in post-menopausal women without depending on a series of expensive tests.

cancer can be prevented

Health Minister Endang Rahayu Sedyaningsih undergoing intensive treatment to kill cancer cells that attack the lungs. In the midst of his struggles, he has a way to come to terms with the deadly disease.

"Anyone can get cancer. I am positive that I have given much happiness and success in life. I was given a trial with cancer," he said in a book review show titled 'Peace with Cancer' at the RSCM Jakarta.

Support her husband and children when undergoing painful treatment that cured him motivated. "It felt really sick. But if there is support for family and friends seemed easier to pass."

In addition to the family, he also felt the spirit of the presence of friends as a place to share. Together with friends, he is regular exercise such as yoga and swimming.

However, he reminded the public that a healthy lifestyle is not only necessary during healing, but also plays an important role in disease prevention efforts.

Cancer-related, Endang avoid using the word 'sentence', because this word is not encouraging. He prefers to use words such as the diagnosis of common diseases.

Since last year, he was trying to spread the cancer disease prevention information through publishing comics. "This year is no publisher who published it."

Healthy Habits Pain Triggers

A study had revealed that the obsession with cleanliness could make a person depressed. Not only that, there are some habits that may be healthy you think it can actually be painful.

So you can be alert to avoid health problems, know the four habits as reported by the Daily Mail:

1. Frequent baths
According to Nick Lowe, a dermatologist from the Cranley Clinic London, hot water combined with soap made from hard, can make the skin dry and dehydrated. In fact, according to most of us do not always need to wash thoroughly every day.

2. Nighttime sleep
According to Professor Jim Horn of the Center for Sleep Studies and Loughborough University, slept for eight hours can lead to fatigue. No need to torture yourself to get to sleep again, if you suddenly wake up at night.

Do something like read a book. The body will 'tell' you when they want to sleep. Things you should know a short nap for 4 to 15 minutes, its effectiveness is better than sleep for an hour in the evening.

3. Rinsing after tooth brush
Phil Stemmer, a dentist from the Centre for Healthy Breath in London, advised not to get too much rinse after brushing your teeth. That's because it can sweep the fluoride-based protective coating which is also applied in conjunction with your toothpaste.

He also advised, it is important not to immediately brush your teeth immediately after eating. Food will make the enamel of the teeth become softer, and it takes about half an hour to harden again. Brushed immediately after eating can sweep the tooth enamel.

4. Taking excessive breath
The therapist and head of the Society for Stress Management, UK, Neil Shah claimed that adults tend to use excessive chest breathing. As a result, the air trapped at the bottom of the lungs.

People have to breathe with the belly, do it regularly and rhythmically, making the 12-20 cycles per minute, with short pauses between takes and exhale.

Magnets Can Prevent Heart Attacks

The risk of heart attack increases as blood vessel damage caused by overly thick blood condition. Despite the blood-thinning medications commonly prescribed by doctors, a scientist found a way of diluting the blood with a magnet.

Is Professor Rongjia Tao from Temple University in Michigan who inspired the use of magnetic fields to dilute the fuel engine. He successfully pioneered the use of magnetic fields to reduce the fuel in the engine vikositas, 2008.

Seeing how the magnetic field in the experiment, he believes the effect is the same in the human circulatory system. Very likely, because the red blood cells contain iron. "Juxtapose the magnetic field on blood vessels to reduce blood viscosity 20-30 percent," Tao said, as quoted by the Daily Mail.

After conducting laboratory tests on blood samples, Tao found that the effect of magnetic field will polarize the red blood cells that are interconnected and form a short chain. Because of this chain is greater than a single blood cells, they move more freely. The effects can be lowered blood viscosity.

"By choosing a suitable magnetic field strength and determine the duration of therapy, we will be able to control the size of blood cells that form chains and automatic control of blood viscosity," he said.

Tao hopes this finding could be an alternative to avoid the use of blood thinning drugs like aspirin which often produces adverse side effects. Not only safe, use a magnetic field will not affect the function of red blood cells.

Publish its findings in the journal Physical Review E, Tao want to refine his research. He dreamed that this could develop into a potent therapy to prevent heart disease.

mobile phone use could be at risk of cancer

Last week, the world community uproar over a statement the World Health Organization or WHO that the use of smart cellular phone or smartphone can increase the risk of developing cancer cells. However, the statement did not necessarily led to a ban the circulation of smartphones in the community.

Therefore, the consumer must be smart to find a way to mitigate the adverse effects the use of smart phones. At least minimize the emission of radiation.

Then, what preventive measures you can take to avoid the negative impact these phones? Here are some tips as reported from Shine.

1. Choose the phone that emits less radiation
Each phone has a radio frequency exposure and SAR (specific absorption rate) is different. SAR is the amount of radiation received by the body. Choose the phone that has a SAR of less than or equal to 1.6 watts per kilogram.

2. Use a headset or speakers
According to the Environmental Working Group, mobile phone headsets can minimize radiation. The use of headsets or speakers enabled cell phones away from the head so that you can reduce the absorption of radiation
on the body.

3. Use a holster that is able to absorb radiation
There are some products that can reduce radiation gloves phones like the iPhone 4 Bounching case.

4. Do not make bad calls when the signal
When the signal is low, the phone will work harder to send information over the airwaves rather than when getting enough signal. This resulted in an increased level of cell phone radiation.

5. Better to send a message than to call
When sending a message that it takes a radio frequency is smaller than when calling. So, send a direct message if the talks are not necessary.

Brittle Bones Skin Wrinkles early

Wrinkled face as the main enemy of women. Fine streaks are more obvious with increasing age is considered one of the most damaging thing of beauty.

Scientists warn, wrinkles on the face not just mark the age. Wrinkles on the face also signaled the growing strength of brittle bones. Chances of osteoporosis increases.

Researchers from Yale School of Medicine in the United States studied 114 women aged 40s and early 50s who had been through menopause. Excluding those who use botox or other beauty procedures.

The researchers calculated the number of wrinkles in 11 points on the cheek and neck, and measure its depth. They also noted the firmness of skin on the forehead and cheeks, and measuring bone density using X-rays.

The result, women who have wrinkles at most, have the most fragile bones. "We found that the wrinkles on the skin associated with bone density," said researcher Lubna Pal, an expert in sex hormones, as quoted by the Daily Mail.

"The deeper wrinkles, diminished bone density. It depends on the age that also affects bone mass," he said.

According to Pal, bone and skin needs collagen to maintain its shape. Decrease in collagen production as you age will lead to sagging skin and wrinkles, also reduces the quality and quantity of bone.

"The intensity of the wrinkles on the skin can also identify the possibility of fractures in the organs, especially the hips, and fatal injuries in the elderly." he said.

Osteoporosis or bone loss affecting approximately three million Britons. This condition leads to the fragility of the spine, wrist, and hips.

Previous research found that the wrinkles begin to haunt when entering the age of 20 years. Peaked at age 40s years. At age 28, the wrinkles increased 56 percent compared to the age of 20 years. Wrinkles increased 73 percent at age 48 years.
