Hormonal contraception, family planning New Options For Men

During this contraceptive for men is known to use condoms, vasectomy and most recently by ultrasound. As a new choice, researchers are developing male hormonal contraception for family planning.

Researchers are making progress on the study of hormonal contraceptive for men, namely a gel or an injection of testosterone. But scientists alerts that this product still in research stage and not yet commercially available.

"Research on contraception for men is slow for several reasons, including biological differences between men and women," says John Amory, associate professor of medicine at the University of Washington, as reported from MedicalNewsToday, Wednesday (16/06/2010).

Amory said, the woman has not fertile period in his life, which at the time of menstruation, and this allows her to not get pregnant. But men do not have a menstrual period, such as in women.

In addition, male reproductive system capable of producing 1,000 sperm per second, while women make only one egg per month.

According to Diana Blithe, director of male contraceptive development program at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, this study focused on blocking the production of sperm with the use of testosterone is known to cause sterility when in excess amount.

However, Blithe also said that other studies have examined the use of synthetic hormone progestin, which has been used in female contraceptives.

For now, the male testosterone pills have not been successful working as a contraceptive because the body absorbs the hormone before it can inhibit sperm production. But researchers have had some success with hormone injections or topical.

For example, a Chinese study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism in June 2009, found that injection of testosterone produce pregnancy rate 1.1 per 1,000 men in more than two years.

Toilet Sitting No Sex Can Spread Disease

Many people are afraid to use the toilet seat in a public place because they can transmit venereal disease. But the fact that the toilet seat is not a medium of transmission of venereal disease.

Venereal disease or also known as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are diseases that can be transmitted through unprotected vaginal, oral and anal sex. In addition, the use of unsterile needles, childbirth and breastfeeding and blood transfusions also can become.

"Toilet seat is not a medium of transmission of sexually transmitted diseases," said Dr. Sophia Yen, MD, adolescent health specialist at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital in Palo Alto, California, as quoted by Health.com, on Thursday (17/06/2010).

It is also justified SpKK Dr. Samuel L. Simon, a specialist in skin and venereal from Omni International Hospital, Jakarta, in consultation detikHealth health.

"Infectious diseases are transmitted through unprotected sex could not be transmitted from a trip to the mall or a public toilet. If it really is so, surely would not anyone want a trip to the mall or use a public toilet seat," said the doctor who is also practicing Siloam Semanggi Specialist Clinic.

STDs can be caused by organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, and protozoa. The organisms that cause sexually transmitted disease or infection can not survive outside the body for long periods, especially on a hard surface and cold.

In addition, the organism also requires a certain environment to be developed, and this is not a toilet seat that is in public places.

Dr. Yen said, nothing to worry about the transmission of STDs is not a public toilet seat, but the contact between skin to skin or mouth to mouth. It is sometimes not too concerned, but also can transmit STDs.

Eg kissing, mouth to mouth contact can also transmit herpes. Kissing can also transmit the oral gonorrhea (gonorrhea) and chlamydia. But the chances of transmission through contact with mouth to mouth is not too large compared to the oral genital contact (oral sex).

Skin to skin contact can also transmit venereal disease, which is an infection of genital warts, herpes, genital scabies, and pubic lice.

Avoiding the fatal bee stings

Quite often people stung by a bee when it was near the nest. For normal people a bee sting may be no big deal. However, it would be fatal to people with bee sting allergies, can be very severe sting reactions can even cause death. How to avoid bee stings?

Health Conditions that Cause Traffic Accidents

Some health conditions can lead to accidents and litas. Starting from epilepsy who experienced suspected perpetrators of the participants walk penyerempetan PDIP Sunday (20/06/2010) and then, until the bone and joint problems.

Penyerempetan of participants PDIP hike is not the only case involving a driver who allegedly had a health problem. For example in some accidents ever reported, the driver had a heart attack and died in the car.

Therefore, it is important to note any conditions that could endanger the driver of a motor vehicle. Here are some of them, quoted from Yourdrivinglicence and NSW RTA on Monday (6/21/2010).

Arthritis
Bone and joint problems can inhibit physical activity while driving. Starting from the most mild like just turn my head to see traffic from the side, to push the brake pedal, slamming the steering wheel in an emergency.

Impaired vision
Healthy eye is one of the most necessary component when driving. Not only to see traffic and other obstacles ahead, but also to recognize traffic signs even from a considerable distance. The eyes of a rider is also required to be able to distinguish the color of traffic lights.

Hearing loss
When driving, the sharpness of the ear is not less important than the eye because there are some sound cues that must be recognized when driving. Among these are the official's whistle, siren particular vehicle, and the horns of other vehicles.

Diabetes
Many people with diabetes can drive fine without any problem, as long as conditions are handled properly. But for people with insulin-dependent diabetes, forgot to inoculate inoculate could trigger collapses while driving causing an accident.

Neurological Conditions
One of the conditions of neurological (nerve) which harm a person while driving is epilepsy. This disorder can recur at any time, and cause seizures, losing consciousness. Some states allow people with epilepsy to drive with some special kententuan, for example, never recur within a certain period.

Heart disease and blood vessel (cardiovascular)
Disorders such as tachycardia (palpitations), angina, narrowing of the arteries to be wary when driving a motor vehicle. In the event of more severe complications such as heart attack or stroke, the risk of accidents will be very high.

Mental conditions
Although there was no cause loss of consciousness, some mental and psychiatric disorders also harm someone when driving a motor vehicle. Eg stress, depression, difficulty remembering, anxiety and confusion. Mental and psychiatric disorders may be temporary or permanent.

Special Conditions
Driving safety can also be influenced by certain conditions which are temporary. Someone who had a broken bone or being under the influence of alcohol and drugs should not drive a motor vehicle until the condition is resolved.

Can Botox injections Crippling Emotion

Botox is often used to prevent signs of aging such as wrinkles on the face. But it turns out these treatments can cause paralysis of one's emotions.

Botox users should feel concerned, because the injection is given to paralyze facial muscles, thereby reducing a person's ability to show his emotions.

A recent study showed that people who were injected with Botox likely end up with a less powerful emotional content, especially in places where the injection was given.

Researchers from Barnard College in New York City found that facial expressions play a role in how emotions are developed, and not only serves to show something like the mood on someone else.

The results of this study indicate a person's facial expression can influence the emotional experience through means such as feedback. In short it can be concluded that Botox is a poison which not only weaken or paralyze the muscles, but also eliminates the real emotions of the person.

"In a larger sense, this could provide a common belief as 'fake it until you succeed'," says co-author Joshua Davis, a psychologist from Barnard College professor, as quoted from Health24, Monday (21/06/2010).

Professor Davis added with the advent of Botox, one can give a normal response to a peristuwa that should give you an emotional high, such a sad scene in the movie.

In addition, muscle paralysis is also associated with expression and motor commands to create expressions. The study is published in the June issue of the journal Emotion.

"Someone will have less movement in the facial muscles that have been injected, so that feedback to the brain about the facial expression is also reduced," said Professor Davis.

It freezes the blood of Life Threatening

Blood clotting is an important process to protect the body from bacterial infection or germs attack when the body is injured or post-surgery. But can the process of life-threatening blood clots?

Reporting from FoxNews, Tuesday (22/06/2010), blood clotting mechanism is actually essential for the body's defense system. But in some cases, blood can be coagulated into a clot (thrombus) that lodged in blood vessels, causing a condition known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Blood clots are not only able to restrict blood flow, but also allows for a 'trip' to the body part that is closer and more vital, such as heart, lungs and brain. It can be dangerous and in rare cases, can also cause death.

Blood clots most commonly occur in blood vessels, usually at the bottom of the feet, hands and pelvis. A rare, more common in babies of wine, blood clots can damage the kidneys blood vessels.

Symptom

Blood clots can partially or completely block blood flow in blood vessels. Gejalannya such as swelling, redness, pain gradually increased, a sharp pain, leg cramps, skin feels warm on the lumps and discoloration.

Causes and risk factors

Long time of inactivity, like sitting on an airplane or lying in bed for long periods due to illness
orthopedic or cardiac surgery
Trauma to the body such as a broken leg, pelvis and leg bones
Obesity (overweight)
Heart attack
Cancer
Blood clotting disorders are genetically
Damage to blood vessels and blood flow changes in normal
Can clotting and blood clots kill?

The possibility of blood clots can be life threatening, especially if there is below the knee. But if there is above the knee, can be removed from the clogging of blood vessels to the heart, lungs or brain. This is called embolism, in rare cases, can lead to stroke or heart attack. Usually, the worst complication of blood clots is tissue damage.

Means of prevention

The best way to keep the blood vessels is to keep eating a healthy, active lifestyle, weight is not excessive, wear loose clothing and drink plenty. If you frequently travel by plane, often to change position or sitting up to avoid the formation of blood clots.
