Rubella Virus or CMV

The story below is taken from a parent experience on facing their child when infect by Rubella Virus or CMV.

About 5 days before Idul Fitri of November 25, Lila start non-stop weaving and always want be carried on mothers back. If will get down or left alone then she clutch the strengths to clothes or shoulder, showing sign that she very fear to descend to floor, few days that is also very fear to certain TV show advertisement, fear to see of cat, chicken, and struggle to get loose if seen by others. She usually play by her self with her toys, and like to pursue the chicken, cat, etc.

Along Idul Fitri holyday in village, it is difficult to find doctor of child specialist. Finally 3 days after holiday, back to Bandung and directly body check up and doctor said there is no disparity but sprue in her mouth, so doctor only give vitamin and antibiotic.

The child still always fussy and don’t become better, back to Jakarta all medication and non-medication method have tried, but still don’t becoming better. When in home her voice like attribute to possession by an evil spirit. Longer her body thin progressively, but she never getting flu or cold, they don’t to check to doctor again. But the condition is worse and even totally disable.

The days is passing, on someday there are any information that there are a complete child hospital, those parent immediately bring her to the hospital on December 19. After checking everything then we stay in hospital. One day after the doctor ask for CT scan checking, and one day after check, doctor reported that her have became creasing of frontage and fore brain or called as atropi lobus fronto parietalis. According to doctor this brain trouble shares cause the motoric of hand and feet become palsied and blind eye.

What is its cause, doctor tell usually because infection by virus or can also disease degenerative. What is there possibility back to normal, doctor tell usually have healed most become the child idiot. After 5 days taken care in the hospital have never clear about what virus. Each time we ask to the nurse and doctor if have handled the disease like this they always tell, “this is a rare case".

After discussing with family and friend and get other hospital reference, she moved to MMC hospital on December 23. Then as usual doctor check up all condition urine and blood. The TORCH test result get on December 30, child positively get rubella virus contains 580 iu/ml. Helping by Professor Doctor of Virus get the receipt to cure this virus infection. Doctor said this virus is not coming from animal but adult flu can contain other kind of virus beside influenza.

On curing she never see to the left side, then doctor ask to check for brain mapping test in other hospital (HS). The result indicate that there are no contact from left or right brain anymore, it is mean that this child have totally blind.

The miracle happened to child, the eyes ball beginning move but don’t brain mapping test again, she can see, crying when left out of room. Arms, foot and neck can move and stronger, begin to play with the toy using hand. She tries to roll to left and right like a baby just bird. The baby is bird twice.

Doctor said, rubella virus or CMV will broke core nerve system and oftentimes the patient do not show of fever symptom or have a cold, but oftentimes like a person who get entering a devil spirit or like mad. At adult for example there is old male patient about 24 years of age, the eyes suddenly cross-eyed or patient that suddenly getting deft or blind. A young girl about 16 years, home from camping than suddenly totally disable a day after. After cure in many place then go to this hospital and after diagnose and test, have infected by Rubella Virus.

Now Lila have totally recover, even have become a doctor in Jakarta, HMM. Congratulation to you Lila.... I just writing of your story, hope can share this story to other and can become one of reference on medication diagnose consideration.

Body Piercing Effect

This style of life that some body else may only imitate from the modern model, but what the urgency and the use of it, I don’t understand. May because of the trendy is just distortion. Body piercing in places other than the ear often leads to complications like infections, swelling and bleeding, a new study shows this data that 25 percent of piercings in body areas other than the earlobe lead to complications.

Most user for this model is teenagers, in America more than 10,000 people apply for this kind style. American college students also reported a high rate of complications, with 17 percent of students complaining of problems, including bleeding and infection. Nipple piercing appeared to be the most risky, with a 21 percent rate of bleeding or injury. Want to see on the nipple, no ... not here. :))

In the British study, 16-year-olds with piercings were also more likely to suffer from complications, with almost a third reporting problems and 15 percent seeking professional help. Although most piercings were performed in specialist piercing shops, the researchers noted that a “worrying” 9 percent of tongue piercings were performed by non specialists. In every anatomical site, including the tongue and genital areas, the study authors said they found a number of people who had performed the piercing themselves or had it done by a friend or relative.

The most common problems with piercings were swelling, infection and bleeding. Almost half of tongue piercings resulted in complications in the British survey. Young ladies use this want to see by others they need your attention. In Indonesia this style also happened but not spread to all teenagers, just in some place and limited social.

Bird Flu

Flu Bird first time known in the year 1878 at chicken in Italian area, that is known as " fowl plague". At the moment famous bird influenza disease in some state come from poultry livestock. In the year 1955 cause of flu bird diseases are founded there are type A and now more knowledgeable for type H7. By the end of 1950, types of other poultry have high pathogen of flu bird disease identified as called of type H5. The happening of flu bird found at the time cause of poultry a lot die, selective amputation and at least communications among breeder.

Pathogenesis
Process of infection "flu bird" still be unclear. Known as virus duplication happened in channel of intestine and exhalation because this epitel cell organ can yield the important enzyme to split the hemaglutinin virus to be active. The type pathogen which dangerous have the sour addition of amino apart place causing apart hemaglutinin with the broader enzyme addition to all body. In general virus earns immediately insulation from cloaca, incubation gyrate period is from some hours until one week. This depended from dose inoculants, virulent, main age and its type. Infection "flu bird" is often bewildered with the mushroom attendance, and other virus infection (For example virus of New Castle Disease, mycoplasma or some important bacterium).

Opportunity
Complication can grow with the use of virus vaccine live and stress of poultry in their environment (For example ventilation and density).

Clinic Marking
Clinical marking from this flu bird virus vary depended of main factor attacked (for example type, age, gender, and its infection), also type of virus of environmental factor and influenza. Some virus can cause the dangerous disease in certain type and is not catching in other type, this virus generally don't have clinical marking like wild fowl.

Infection marking is inclusive of exhalation, enteric, reproduce and annoying of nervous system. Ordinary sign happened by depression, activity dropped, feed intake and emaciation dropped. Other clinical marking is the increasing of lacrimation, cyanosis’ or fur molt certain area for example at male, bloated lead and face, diarrhoea, cough, and muccous, the increasing of irrigate consumption, green chromatic diarrhoea or turn white, produce the egg down. This symptom is became can individual or combination with other.

Virus infected at egged chicken usually influence the exhalation disease, the increasing of mortality, and produce egg down. Some dead poultry sudden without known the cause or marking before. At the broiler chicken, marking look like depression, downhill of it feed intake, the increasing of mortality. Death happened by 24-58 hours after chicken infection or ill. Some chicken can heal in a few weeks epidemic of bird flu which latterly knock over some Asian state especially in Indonesia have generated the separate care of this disease coming from poultry this can be catch at human being till cause death.

Bird Flu Definition
Bird flu or avian influenza is because of influenza virus type A of type H5N1. H5N1 own two nature of rapidly shifting: antigenic shift and antigenic drift. H5N1 can mix with the ordinary influenza virus that infect human being. Infection happened because by direct contact with the poultry or poultry dirt which infection by flu bird.

Flu Bird virus Infection
Flu Bird can infect human being when human being direct contact with the chicken or poultry which infected by flu bird. Poultry which is infected also release this virus through their feces, later run dry and fall to pieces to become a kind of powder. This powder breathed in by human being or other animal. According to WHO, bird flu easy to infect from poultry to human being compared with from human being to human being. Single way of bird flu virus can disseminate easily from human being to human being if the virus bird flu have mutation and mixed with the virus of human being flu.

Symptom of bird flu at human being
Contagious human being of virus bird flu known with the symptom generally people incurred ordinary flu like head cold, fever with the unstable body temperature, cough, pain in bone, muscle, ill of red lane and asphyxia. If aggravation can generate the acute bronchi disease menaces of somebody soul.

Prevention Effort
Possible prevention on getting this disease is avoiding direct contact with chicken or poultry that is identifying infected by bird flu. All workers in ranch, seller, driver bringing poultry product are the most profession that risk incurred by this virus, in consequence suggested to clean the hand and take a bath used up work, leaving fatigue clothes at work and clean the dirt from poultry dirt every day.

Alternative Medication Using Electric Current

In a number of industrial states, some of society in the reality owns the practical and safety product proving and efficiency of using simple method for health in the form of complementary therapy and alternative. This therapy has improved fast in the world, inclusively in Indonesia.

One of therapy appliance used of electrical potential difference to human being as bioelectromagnetic. This therapy have a lot of used in Japan as prevention effort on happening of blood circulation trouble and assist to overcome some health problem among others headache and insomnia.

Pursuant to research result conducted by Laboratory of Traditional Medication or Biophysics (Batra) of Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (MIPA) of University Airlangga, as present by Professor of F-Mipa of University Airlangga, Prof. Dr. Ir. Suhariningsih in news media, Monday (26/5), in Jakarta, this appliance qualitative transmit the negative ion resulting change of air composition is above base surface.

Through radiation test infrared squeeze and radiation of negative ion by using digital photometer and also capacitance of a number of dots based on the construction or base stitching. Negative ion represents the life energy and has the ability clean the blood. This ion own a lot of benefit for example, degrading level serotonin (a kind of nerve hormone having the character of depressant and generate the venous stricture) in blood.

A number of other dissimilar benefit is by neutralizing superoxide (substance that function to kill the micro organism in body), sterilization of virus and bacterium in body, lessening respiration disease, widening bronchi, men take care of the normal blood circulation. Others, negative ion can be optimize cell ability permeate and exploit the oxygen and also activate the cell renewal and improve the body endurance.

That research also aim to know the chronic and acute effect of cure therapy appliance of potential difference of electrics that have high frequency (30.000 hertz) yielding negative ion and infrared ray and long wave that contains used by tourmaline technology and lonwave which is contains in it, also sanitary technology of polyuretan wave cloth at the spume. This research succeed to prove by recovering of blood glucose contains, blood stream repair , and also composition of blood and profile of lipid blood of 30’s patient of hypertension and diabetes mellitus which become the research object.

Head Leader of Gathering of Doctor of Komplementer-Alternatif Indonesia (PKKAI) hopes more of medical company or health equipments sales which can cooperate continuously. This matter is accompanied by the observation on practice and enforceable INTEREST growth in Indonesia according to Regulation of Minister for Public Health of Number 1109 Year 2007 about practical complementary and alternative medication in service.

Prevention Getting HIV

Preventing from getting HIV by avoiding behaviors that might result in contact with infected blood, need more intensive attention on this advise below:
  • Never practice sex along your live or always use a condom during sexual activity, unless you are in a relationship with one partner and don't try with illegal partner.
  • Don't try have sex with someone who has HIV, it is very effective on prevent getting Aids.
  • Reduce your number of sex partners is bad but avoid numbers of sex partner is better, preferably to one partner.
  • Talk with your sex partner or partners about their sexual history, as well as your own sexual history. Find out whether your partner has engaged in high-risk behaviors.
  • Avoid alcohol and drugs, because drug and alcohol is close to bad relationship.
  • Do not share intravenous (IV) needles, syringes, cookers, cotton, cocaine spoons, or eyedroppers with others if you use drugs.


If you are HIV-positive (infected with HIV) or better don't engage in sex or needle-sharing with someone who could be infected with HIV, take precautions to avoid spreading the infection to others. You must much of pray to God because HIV can't pretend for long time.

  • Tell to your doctor or partners about your behavior and whether you are HIV positive.
  • There in no guarantee safe sex practices for partner, even using condoms.
    You must close to you God so can understand for not donate blood, plasma, semen, body organs, or body tissues.
  • You also must be patient for not share personal items, such as toothbrushes, razors, or sex toys, that may be contaminated with blood, semen, or vaginal fluids.
  • An HIV-infected pregnant woman can prevent or reduce the risk of spreading HIV to her baby if she takes the medicine zidovudine (ZDV, formerly AZT) during pregnancy and if she does not breast-feed her baby. The baby should also receive ZDV after birth.

Smoke Causing Cancer

About 65.6 million woman and 43 million Children of Indonesian get exposed to cigarette smokes or said that they are as passive smoker. They have risk to get many diseases such as, bronchitis, tuberculoses, intestine cancer, liver cancer, stroke, and many other diseases cause of smoke. Other smoke also can cause the same diseases like exhaust of car, motorcycle, plant and others. Those numbers is from Kompas daily news about healthy or Kesehatan.
In Jakarta many car that should not be functionalize again, old car, bajay, and many bus that out of standard can cause cancer if you get exposed every day. Who get exposed from this, women and children, how many of them who get exposed from this? Not as much as those number but every city civil surely be exposed. They have risk from cancer and many other diseases more possible.

The dead people cause of those diseases always increasing every year, but no body can detect and guarantee the basic cause of those diseases. But if the patient mainly from city, this is cause by the pollution environment, not cause by cigarette. If the patient came from country or village, this disease can believe caused by cigarette. But how many people from village get cancer, very low.

So what realy causes of cancer dieses?

By the way cigarette remains not good for health and financial, better you stop for smoking. Because prevention is better than curing. Our environment is becoming worst and worst, oxygen consumption is always increasing. The increasing of consumption is not because of human live consumption but your car, your motorcycle, plant and other machine is consume Oxygen for out Atmosphere.

The global warming is not because of deforestations only, but more cause of high increasing for oxygen consume and release CO2 and CO from your car, your motorcycle, engine, and Plants and Industry.

Cure Advice of the Myth

This is just the myth, so don't be trusted and do not trapped by various wrong view about make in love, let us review the correction with clarification hereunder from the sex expert.
  • SOP KONRO RACE ENTHUSIASM -This food often considered as "drug" to increase enthusiasm, as does mutton. Actually there is no connection fondly sexual. This food if we consume in fair portion, only limited to assisting to open the blood stream and give the extra energy because contents of high protein. So do not believe of that myth.
  • STRONG TONIC (JAMU) MAKES STRENGTH -This one unnecessary be trusted. We exactly have alert with bombast advertisement telling specific tonic for example gist; sari of strong "sari rapet" and can mount the sexual enthusiasm. Its contents is not very clear, oppositely often very doubting of. Differ from the healthy tonic, for example rice of koempheria galanga or kind of which is true can be pledged to increase vitality and body freshness. That is cause of those who is annoyed by hard work that cause ill used up very suggested to drink the healthy tonic. Besides a lot of sleep/take a rest and consume the well-balanced nutritious food make body's energy is convalesce immediately, quicker cure Energy of course will quicken also awakening of sexual enthusiasm.
  • HONEY ADD ENERGY -Consume honey usually more motivate compare with didn't. This matter is justifiable because vitamin contains in the honey believed able to give an additional energy. But if drink only when will make in love, of course its influence do not as soon as that will be felt. As does we take medicine, not possible have direct heal if just once drink. Honey is not alternative medicine but its really help on recovery from diseases.
  • EGG PARROT IMPROVE THE SPERM QUALITY -Actually egg benefit do not have the specific character or direct improve the sexual enthusiasm or even make the sperm quality become good. But assist improve the body health in general. Aren't they believed that the healthy body also own high Libido, easy to stimulate, and progressively goodness/healthy also sexual life?
    It suggested consuming boiled egg compared to half done or raw egg. Its problem, protein which contains in egg inclusive of digested difficult as does animal protein like flesh which must be cooked in advance.
  • EGGPLANT CAUSE TO WEAKEN -There is no scientific proofing. Probably because people are so fetched up all standing of equation form the eggplant with the penis. Though, even it seem similar, penis fulfilled by automatic veins will be loaded full that happened by Libido make-up or in a state of stimulated. For a while eggplant, however will stand to weak after cooked because its structure differ. So, merely myth, isn't it?
  • PINEAPPLE & BANANA MAKE MUDDY -Pineapple and banana contain certain vitamin required by body, especially vitamin C and potassium in banana which exactly useful to take care of the body dilution. Moreover wet condition frankly represent the natural forerunner that wife party have ready to accept the warm feeling from her husband, while dry condition oppositely; will generate chafed and feel the pain which will torture of both.

Liver

The liver, an organ found in all vertebrates, is the largest organ in the human body, it is a spongy, reddish brown gland that lies just below the diaphragm in the abdominal cavity. It serves to metabolize Carbohydrates and store them as glycogen; metabolize lipids (fats, including cholesterol and certain vitamins) and proteins manufacture a digestive fluid, blue, filter impurities and toxic material from the blood; produce blood clothing factors; and destroy old, worn-out red blood cells.

Two large lobes, the right and the left, make up most of the liver; attached to the right lobe are the smaller quadrate and caudate lobes. The lobes are made up of lobules six sided cells arranged around blood vessels, bile ducts, lymph vessels, and nerves. Certain recticuloen-dothelial cells line these lobules and play a role in immunity.

Approximately three sides of each cell are in contact with a blood vessel, and three are adjacent to a bile duct. The bile manufactured by each lobule passes down a common duct, which connects to larger ducts that lead to the common hepatic duct. This ducts that lead to the common hepatic duct. This duct joint with the cystic duct of the Callbladder and enters the duodenum along with the pancreatic duct of Wirsung. In the intestines bile salts aid in emulsifying fats and enhancing the metabolism of fats and proteins.

The liver is a highly vascular tissue. It receives 25 percent of its blood from a hepatic artery. The other 75 percent of the blood supply comes from the portal vein, which transport digested nutrients and hormones from the intestines, hormones from the pancreas, and old red blood cells and bilirubin, a component of bile, from the spleen. Blood leaves the liver by the inferior vena cava, which goes to the heart.

The liver able to regenerate itself after being injured or diseased; if, however, a disease progresses beyond the tissue's capacity to regenerate new cells, the body's entire metabolism is severely affected. Two common liver diseases are Hepatitis (inflammation of the lobules) and Cirrhosis, or a scarring of the lobules. Many disorders can affect the liver and Kupffer cells, and the bile ducts. Bile consists of such substances as lecithin, blue salts, and cholesterol, the last two of which can form Gallstones under certain conditions and result in obstruction of bile ducts. Jaundice, a yellow skin discoloration, is a symptom of a variety of liver disorders. Liver cancer is fairly rare but generally incurable. Severely impaired livers are sometimes replaced.

Type of Cells


Several major types of animal cells may be distinguished, including absorptive, secretor, nerve, sensory, muscle, and reproductive cells. All must arise during morphogenesis from cells that are less differentiated.

Absorptive Cells
Absorptive cells often occur as continuous sheet on surfaces where material is transported to the cells. For example, the single layer of epithelial cells lining the surface of the small intestines selectively absorbs, food molecules from the gut into the blood stream. These cells have a free surface that is in contact with the capillaries. The free surface is covered with many projection called microvilli, which vastly increase the area available for molecular flow. In digestion, the products of the ingested food are transported through the microvilli into the cell. They are then pumped into the capillaries from the other side. Similar cells are found in the kidney. The microvilli are example of a cell structure precisely fitted to the function of the cell. Because of an absorptive cell needs maximum area for transport, the shape of the cell surface is altered to achieved the optimum transfer of molecules.

Secretor Cells
Secretor cells produce products that are subsequently deposited in either the bloodstream or a special duct to an organ, where they are used. The pancreas and pituitary are glands that have large number of secretor cells. Protein and other cell products are synthesized throughout the cytoplasm and transported to the Golgi apparatus, where they are packed into a membrane bonded vesicle that come to a cell's surface and discharge the secretion outside the cell.

Lipid Distribution and Function

The term lipid describes a group of biological compounds that are insoluble in water but are relatively soluble in many organic solvent.

Lipid can be classified in three subgroups based on chemical composition; hydrocarbon, simple lipids and complex lipids contain C, H, and O. Complex lipid contain one or more additional elements, such as phosphorous (P), nitrogen (N), or sulfur (S).

Simple lipid can be aggregated into structural types, which are fatty acid is a long chain monocarboxylic acid. A wax is the ester of a long chain alcohol and a fatty acid. A triglyceride is the ester of a glycerol that contains tree FA molecules. Sterols are a special class of alcohols; they may combine with a fatty acid to form sterol esters.

Among the complex lipids, important structural types are phosphoglyceridas, phosphosphingolipids, and glycolipids. The parent phosphoglyceride, phosphatidic acid (PA), is similar in structure to triglyceride except that the 3-hydroxyl group of the glycerol moiety is esterified to phosphoric acid rather than to FA. Further esterification of the phosphoric acid of PA with a variety of small, hydroxyl containing molecules leads to a series of derived phosphoglycerides, including phospphatidyl choline (PC), commonly known as lecithin, and phosphatidyl ethanolamine (PE).

The phosphosphingolipids are derived from sphingosine. The formation of an amide with an FA with the 2-position yield ceramide. Esterification of the 1-hydroxyl of ceramide with phosphosphingolipid. If the 1-hydroxyl group of ceramide is linked instead to a simple sugar, a cerebroside glycolipid is formed. The further addition of several amino sugars yields more complex glycolipids, the gangliosides.

Lipid Distribution and Function
Lipids are found in all organism as structural components of the cell membrane. In most animals the major membrane lipids are lecithin, phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl serine, and a sterol, cholesterol. Cell membranes of the central nervous system contain, in additional to the above, shingmyelin, cerebrosides, and gangliosides. In higher plant membranes, lecithin and PE predominate, although phosphatidyl glycerol (PG) and phosphatidyl inositol (PI), know as phytosterols, are commonly present.

Bacterial membranes are unique in that lecithin is rarely present and sterols are completely absent; PE and PG are usually the major lipids.

Although triglycerides are not important membrane lipids, they are stored in most animals and plants as a metabolic energy reserve. In vertebrate TG is located in adipose (fat) tissue. In insect TG is concentrated in a specific fat body that fuction both as a depot and as a center of triglyceride metabolism. In higher plant TG is found in the seeds of most plants and is the source of most vegetable oils. In a few plant such as avocado, the palm and the olive, the fruit also contains large amount of triglycerides.

Lipids have a number of specialized functions. In mammals subcutaneous fat retards loss of body heat. Hydrocarbons and waxes on insect cuticle, as well as on plant leaves and fruit, aid in water retention. Certain cyclic FA, the prostaglandins, are involve in blood clotting and hormonal responses in mammals, and a veriety of other FA derivatives serve as sex attractants and growth regulators in insects. Sex hormones and the adrenal corticoids of higher animals are lipids derived from cholesterol. Essential dietery lipids includes certain polyunsaturated fatty acids and the vitamins A, D, E and K.
