Kitchen and Incense smoke may trigger nasopharyngeal cancer

Nasopharyngeal cancer may still not familiar with the community. Some things are known to be a trigger, one of which is poor circulation kitchen smoke and smoke from the incense.

"Smoke kitchen if circulation is not good and also the incense smoke can trigger cancer of the nasopharynx, because it stimulates the nasopharynx to overproduction," said Prof. Dr. Dr. R Susworo, SpRad (K) Onk.Rad sidelines of the campaign on behalf of Drs Yurnadi doctorate, Kes in Room Sena Pratista Sutomo Tjokronegoro, Faculty of medicine, on Wednesday (06/01/2011).

Prof tells Susworo nasopharyngeal cancer is a multifactorial genetic disease, which is influenced by genetic, environmental and food consumed. And several risk factors of this disease is a race (Mongoloid races are known to be susceptible), EBV infection (Epstein-Barr Virus) and the food.

Foods that can affect or trigger suspected nasopharyngeal cancer is preserved foods such as salted fish, fermented, smoked and burned because they contain compounds that are carcinogenic nitrosamines (cancer causing compounds).

In the salted fish, nitrosamine substance produced by the process of salting and penjemurannya, sunlight reacts with nitrite in the fish meat to form nitrosamines compounds.

"Generally there are no typical symptoms of nasopharyngeal cancer, if a cold-blooded cold or it is considered as a matter of course by the community," said Prof. Susworo from the Department of Radiology, Faculty of medicine.

But most of the new society will be checked him to the doctor if the condition is severe, such as his eyes squint or the swelling in the neck (because it was metastatic, or spreads to the neck) which indicates already entered an advanced stage.

To make early detection of nasopharyngeal cancer, usually recommended to ENT specialist (Ear Nose Throat) to be examined his throat, if found mass (lump) will usually perform a biopsy to detect further.

"If the cancer is found in early stages then it can be cured and to level kekambuhannya about 15 percent if they are found in stage 1 or 2," he said.

For nasopharyngeal cancer in Indonesia into the top 10 cancers that are often found after the cervix (cervical), breast, liver and lungs, but if from the ENT the nasopharynx cancer is still number 1.

Blood Sweat disease strikes Dora

Blood Sweat called hematidrosis (sweat blood) which in certain conditions can be caused by another disease or high blood pressure. This condition also experienced Indrayanti Trimurni Dora (25), a student living in the Valley.

Blood sweat is a rare disease. This condition is one of extreme side effects of fight or flight response that occurs when a person experiences stress anxiety or fear that very deep.

Anxiety and fear are so strong can cause tiny blood vessels that supply the sweat glands become tighter and smaller, so that when blood vessels dilate bleeding will occur.

In addition there is also another theory that says that the extreme anxiety or fear experienced by a person causes the release of a chemical that can be
break the capillaries in the sweat glands. As a result there is a small amount of bleeding so that the sweat that comes out along with blood.

Effects that occur in the body associated with this hematidrosis include weakness, mild to moderate dehydration and high anxiety makes a person sweat to sweat blood.

It happened at Dora who experience this rare medical problem in which fresh blood out of the pores of the scalp and ears. When dijenguk M Djamil Hospital in Padang, the young girl was still smiling despite a week of intensive care, because disease suffered unique. Fresh blood is often out of the pores of the head and ears when he thinks too much.

"So come on let him rest first. As seen, the current condition is far better than when treated in ICU 2 X 24 hours yesterday," said Head of Public Relations M Djamil hospital in Padang, Gustavianof, told AFP during a visit to the infirmary in a disease RS M Djamil, on Wednesday (01/06/2011).

Dora, VI semester students of the Faculty of Law, University of Bung Hatta (UBH) Padang, since last few days was the opinion widespread attention. In addition to suffering from a disease that is considered strange, beautiful woman with cropped hair gain sympathy because it also had a remarkable life story.

According Gustavianof, Dora has actually experienced this condition since the last two years. Disease is rare and has not been established until now.

The blood will be poured like sweat from the pores of the head when she was thinking too hard. In fact, not rare blood out of the ear, nose, and mouth.

"Early diagnosis showed patients experienced a situation where easy bleeding. These conditions, due to abnormalities of blood vessels, the content of platelets in the blood, and blood clotting. Patients with bleeding in the mouth, ears, and nose is common. But bleeding that occurs in the pore head-pore as experienced countless rare Dora, "he explained.

According Gustavianof, it has made some efforts to test to know for certain diseases suffered by Dora. The team also had to deal with doctors who perform computer radiography scanner (CT scan) in the patient's head but found no abnormalities.

"Monday or Tuesday next we will take blood samples directly to Jakarta for questioning in one laboratory. We will take patients to the airport by ambulance and took blood samples so the plane would depart. It had to be done due to necessary examination of fresh blood taken four hours before entering the lab, "explained Gustavianof.

MOM SLAMMED CASEY ANTHONY AS 'UNFIT MOTHER'

CASEY ANTHONY is coming across as a real charmer. A real shit. On Tuesday, a pal of the party mom testified Anthony was bitter because her mom wasn't ready to drop everything and babysit. Amy Huizenga told a Florida court that her onetime friend had a strained relationship with her parents

We give advice and Taboo Sex Education in Children

Many modern parents are now starting to provide sex education or to enter into schools that provide sex education curriculum in children. There are several suggestions and restrictions that should be considered parents when giving or addressing sex education. Anything?

Sex education is teaching efforts, raising awareness and providing information about sexual problems. One of the information provided is knowledge about the function of reproductive organs to instill morals, ethics, commitment to prevent 'abuse' of the sexual organs.

According to psychologist Sani B Hirawan, MPsi in writing detikHealth, sex education should start early until someone got married. "Good sex education is given if already built a two-way dialogue between parent and child, which is about age 2-3 years," explains psychologist Sani.

Here are some suggestions and taboos that can be done to address the parents of children who are given sex education in schools, as reported by About.com, Wednesday (01/06/2011):

Advice

Let the kids get sex education in schools. You may not agree with some being taught, but education can serve as a starting point.
Keep communication open with children

Nasopharyngeal cancer therapy can result from DNA Viruses Monitored

In cancer treatment require monitoring to know whether the therapy was successful or not. For nasopharyngeal cancer, the UI researchers said that the monitoring of therapy response can be seen from EBV viral DNA.

One of the risk factors of nasopharyngeal cancer is the presence of infection by Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), EBV is known to use humans as hosts to its place of living that is in the nasopharyngeal epithelium and B lymphocytes

"EBV has oncogenic potential, because he changed the infected cells into malignant cells through multiple mechanisms," said Yurnadi FKUI doctorate in event promotions on behalf of himself in the room Pratista Sutomo Tjokronegoro Sena, Faculty of medicine, on Wednesday (06/01/2011).

Dissertation Drs Yurnadi, Kes, entitled 'Analysis of Genes Plymeric Polimerfisme Immunoglobulin Receptor and T Cell Receptor Beta As well as the existence of DNA and correlation with Epstein-Barr Virus As Monitoring Therapeutic Response in Patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma' to have passed with an A and has been named as a Ph.D in Biomedicine.

Yunardi tells the therapy used to treat nasopharyngeal cancer depends on the stage, if still in the stage 1-2 then treated by radiation alone. But if you've entered the stage of 3-4, the treatment combination of radiation and chemotherapy.

To find out how much the effectiveness of therapy given could be seen from the existence (existence) EBV DNA in saliva and nasopharyngeal cancer patient serum.

This is based on studies conducted by Yurnadi of 102 nasopharyngeal cancer patients from the Department of Radiology, Faculty of medicine / RSCM and Pathology Department of Otolaryngology-KL FKUI / RSCM.

Patients involved in this study consisted of 67 male and 35 female with age range that includes patients stage 1, 2, 3, 4, recurrent as well as patients who have not known the stage.

In a previous study found that the number of EBV DNA is released into the blood circulation associated with the size of the tumor, thereby eksistesi EBV DNA before and after therapy is associated with tumor size.

At the initial measurement or EBV DNA before therapy in patients with advanced nasopharyngeal cancer that is 3 and 4 detected higher compared with early-stage patients were 1 and 2.

After doing therapy found a decrease in the existence of EBV DNA in serum and saliva of patients. Decrease high found in saliva which reached 64 percent, whereas in serum only reached 34.6 percent.

"Reduction of EBV DNA in saliva can be caused by the loss or diminution occurred after radiotherapy nasopharyngeal tumor, so that viral DNA is released into the saliva is reduced," said Yurnadi who successfully complete the dissertation session with an A.

Yurnadi adding decrease existence EBV DNA in saliva more quickly indicates that the change from the presence of this virus DNA in saliva is more informative in giving the picture the effectiveness of therapy.

"Whereas if the patient has been declared cured in some time and still found the existence of EBV DNA in high levels means that these patients had a relapse," he said.

Yurnadi suggest the existence of necessary monitoring EBV DNA in nasopharyngeal cancer patients with real-time PCR (q-PCR) to monitor more specifically the effectiveness of therapy given.

Nasopharyngeal cancer is a multifactorial disease primarily caused by genetic factors, viral infections and other environmental factors such as food, soot and dust. This cancer generally do not have typical symptoms until it reaches an advanced stage which is marked with crossed eyes and swelling in the neck.

Some things are known to be factors that exacerbate this disease like a habit of eating fish, salted, preserved foods, smoking and environmental pollution. And most patients are found in the productive age of 40-50 years.

Hematidrosis the Sweat Blood Diseases

Description: The case of people suffering from blood sweat fairly rare. This condition is called hematidrosis (Sweat Blood), which in certain conditions can be caused by another disease or high blood pressure.

Symptoms: Exit sweat blood in the skin pores while experiencing stress anxiety or fear that the causes very small blood vessels that supply the sweat glands become tighter and smaller, so that when blood vessels dilate bleeding will occur.

Cause: Stress, fear or anxiety or extreme extremely experienced in a person causes the release of a chemical that can be
break the capillaries in the sweat glands. As a result there is a small amount of bleeding so that the sweat that comes out along with blood.

Dr. Frederick Zugibe, a forensic expert from New York said hematidrosis is one extreme side effects of fight or flight response. Most occur when a person experiences stress anxiety or fear of very deep, as quoted from HowStuffWorks, Wednesday (06/01/2011).

Sweating blood can indeed scary and very rare. But this condition is usually associated with other diseases such as hemochromatosis, which is the condition of the dangers which many iron formed and stored in the body that makes a person vulnerable to hematidrosis.

In addition there is also another theory that says that the extreme anxiety or fear experienced by a person causes the release of a chemical that can break the capillaries in the sweat glands. As a result there is a small amount of bleeding so that the sweat that comes out along with blood.

Dr. Zugibe said some cases associated with hematidrosis reportedly occurred when a person experiences fear and sentenced to execution is also due to fear of storms while sailing center.

Effects that occur in the body associated with this hematidrosis include weakness, mild to moderate dehydration and high anxiety makes a person sweat to sweat blood.
