These diseases often come in secret, even without a complaint. But if left, hypertension can lead to cardiovascular disease and other dangerous diseases.

Arrival of a sudden a horrible plus the effect of making health hypertension dubbed “the silent disease”. The average person does not know himself suffered from hypertension before their blood pressure checked. However, many people are not aware or are still reluctant to consult healthcare associated hypertension.

There is a reasonable lazy, but some are not to the doctor because he felt his fine without complaint. Disturbance is also known as heterogeneous group of diseases that can affect anyone from different age groups and socio-economic groups.

Hypertension is a condition when the body loses or unable to control the blood pressure so that excessive pressure. As a result, blood volume increases and narrows blood vessels. Therefore the heart to pump harder to supply oxygen and nutrients to every cell in the body.

The blood pressure measured by pressure against the blood vessel wall (in mmHg). Number 120 / 80 mmHg is normal blood pressure that occurs when the heart pumps (systole) and resting (diastole).

We have suffered hypertension estimated one billion people around the world and a major causative factor of cardiovascular events; number one cause of death worldwide. And is also known that high blood pressure is a major cause of coronary artery disease or coronary artery disease (CAD) and heart failure or heart failure.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) which is the terminology for the disorders that cause heart disease and blood vessel, said to be the main cause of death and disability worldwide. The comparison is one of the three deaths in the dunia.Terbukti hypertension is a risk factor causing the most morbidity and mortality due to CVD.

Neutralize the pressure by the World valsatran medicine continues to work hard to find a solution to this disease. Last found valsartan therapy to reduce cardiovascular events. Drug efficacy has been announced on 1 September and in the Congress of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) in Barcelona, Spain.

Antihypertensive drugs are categorized as group angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), the non-ARB group can reduce cardiovascular events in hypertensive patients as much as 45 per cent. Research by the Kyoto Heart Study involving 3042 Japanese patients with blood pressure uncontrolled.

They use non-medical type? ARB with one or more cardiovascular risk factors (such as diabetes or obesity, smoking, or history of heart disease).

Kyoto Heart Study is an independent research to see the effect of protection against morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular (CV) of the addition of valsartan compared with conventional treatment (except for groups of ACE-inhibitors [ACEis] or angiotensin receptor blockers [ARBs], etc.) Japanese patients with hypertension (pressure high blood pressure) are not controlled and have a high risk of cardiovascular events.

Prof. Dr. Hiroaki Matsubara of Cardiovascular Medicine at the Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, Kyoto, Japan and Main Researcher of Kyoto mention Heart Study, valsartan could significantly reduce the total incidence of complications of hypertension in heart, brain, and vascular patients at high risk of incident Cardiovascular.

“These benefits beyond the benefits of lowering blood pressure (independent of the level of blood pressure reduction). In addition, this study also confirmed the benefits of inhibition of the renin angiotensin system in patients of East Asia,” he said.

Meanwhile, according to the hypertension expert from the National Heart Center Harapan Kita, Dr Santoso Karokaro MPH, SpJP (K) FIHA, based on household health survey in 2004, prevalence of hypertension in Indonesia in people over the age of 35 years more than 15.6 percent.

Even in highly developed countries like the United States, every 2 minutes of death due to hypertension and its complications.

“Therefore, if there is a therapy that can reduce the risk of morbidity and mortality, particularly in Asia, this may provide benefits for patients,” he said during a media gathering to announce the latest findings about hypertension drugs valsartan therapy held Novartis Penang Bistro restaurant, Friday (11/09).

He added that the results of this study reinforce the JIKEI previous Heart Study has been done on Asian patient population.

Therefore, for Indonesia, which is part of Asia, valsartan proved to have benefits for patients at high risk.

“We are delighted that this independent study once again proves why valsartan treatment of hypertension is number one in the world,” said Roger Polman, President Director of PT Novartis Indonesia.

Roger said, the evidence that confirms these results are not found in treatment studies of other similar ARB. This may indicate differences in the ARB class.

“With this evidence, both medical experts and patients may have a basis to continue their treatment with valsartan as the basis of their blood pressure management,” he said.

Professor Gordon T McInnes, Clinical Pharmacology, University Division of Cardiovascular and Medical Sciences, Western Infirmary, Glasgow said the Kyoto Heart Study also included patients with metabolic diseases and obesity, as well as some who have the habit of smoking.

“With these reasons, the results of this study may be relevant not only for patients in Japan, but also for other populations in which cardiovascular risk factor prevalence was very high,” he said

WHEN erection, Mr. P was able to bend into various directions. This curve is normal, there is also caused by the disease. So, how do I tell?

As quoted from the book “Sex, Facts and Myths” written by Ahmad Fauzi Suryasoemirat, during erection, the form of Mr. P can not straight. There is a curved upward (toward the belly), bent down, or even bent to the left and right. This obviously makes worry.

Actually, Mr. P’s form is not a straight right. At the time erect, most of Mr. P someone bent. But it all perfectly normal, as long as there is no pain complaints and function remains normal.

But if you’ve missed degrees crooked and accompanied by pain (pain) is excessive, it is suspect. Especially if the Mr. P was also found lumps or bumps are red crooked. It may be, there is a problem with crooked Mr. P.

In this book mentioned, crooked Mr. P could be caused by a disease called peyronies disease. That is a disease that attacked and damaged muscles in the trunk Mr P. The disease is usually caused by infection or trauma due to Mr P. For example Mr P conceded bacteria, germs, or viruses. Or it could be because Mr. P banged hard object until there is bleeding in the muscle around the bump it.

Mr P rod muscle damage, the skin surface will be transformed into connective tissue (thickened skin such as scar tissue). Muscle and skin surface is a connective tissue that will attract the skins on other surfaces that collect in one spot. Since ketarik to a point, obviously only on erection Mr P could not develop the maximum, so the form of Mr P to be bent.

This disease Peyronies pain makes the body hot and cold, not to mention the effect of infection or trauma, can cause sufferers affected fertility rates. In fact, due to excessive bent, a way out of sperm so it is not smooth. Spray sperm ejaculation or even be hampered by the difficulty out of cement.

Another effect of psychological matters sufferers. Because this disease can make sufferers impotent. The pain caused the respective could not achieve an erection optimal, resulting in lower self-confidence because he felt he “could not”.

Peyronies disease can heal itself without treatment within 6-12 months, depending on the condition of their bodies. Because the network in our bodies never stop generations. The body will automatically replace tissues damaged by the new network. It’s just waiting for 6-12 months it makes people not wait.

The stages that can be done in the first step is the doctor will first trace the cause. Is it because of infection or because of the impact. After a known cause, a new medicine can be given.

Usually medical drugs are given to cure this disease is a hormonal medicines and vitamins. Gift done simultaneously. So there are drugs taken, there are also drugs are injected.

For severe cases, surgery can also be done to lift the connective tissue, or just straightening the other networks who happened to be interested by the tissue.

So, if Mr. P crooked, do not rush fear, the origin is not accompanied by pain and swelling. In fact, peyronies disease can be cured. So, do not worried

In the near future, your smartphone can be a tool pendiagnosa respiratory disease. Way, you only have to cough on the surface of the phone. Furthermore, the phone will diagnose disease within a few seconds.

This became possible thanks to a software developed by the U.S. and Australian scientists from STAR Analytical Services. They hope that this software makes it easy to diagnose the patient’s respiratory illness with cough only in the phone.

Of cough issued, the phone can diagnose whether they have the flu, cough, pneumonia or other respiratory diseases. Disease-detection software can also alert type suffered cough, whether it’s a dry cough or cough with phlegm.

Furthermore, the phone will provide the appropriate information data as given doctors the cause of cough. The doctors and nurses are generally able to distinguish the difference coughing through his voice. This software can do the same thing and inform if they are facing a serious illness.

“Why do we diagnose the disease from coughing? It’s because coughing is a common symptom experienced by the disease each patient,” said Suzanne Smith from STAR Analytical Services, as quoted from the Telegraph, Tuesday (10/11/2009).

Embedded software on this phone will compare the cough of patients with recording of data types are kept coughing. This data store a variety of cough sound marker of respiratory disease of all ages and gender, weight and height, and the variables determining the diagnosis of other diseases.

Currently, the STAR team has a data type of cough recordings obtained from hundreds of patients. However, estimates STAR team, they need at least 1000 data types of cough before realizing that software.

Adopt a vegetarian lifestyle (vegan) is a wise choice for health. Being vegan if run properly can help prevent degenerative diseases.

As a vegan, you definitely will avoid consuming too many animal products. Because, in principle, carry vegetarian diet diet by limiting the source of animal food. However, the diet that you live may actually eliminate the proteins and fats your body needs. No wonder most of the body becomes limp.

But there are some nutrients that can not be obtained from food, namely vitamin B12 in eggs, meat, fish, poultry meat and milk derived products. To avoid anemia, meet the body’s need for vitamin B12 from multivitamins and specific supplements. This food additive is generally recommended for vegans.

Vegans often lack vitamin B12, calcium, vitamin D, zinc, and iron. So, if you do not eat animal products, make sure you get the nutrients the body needs from a multivitamin. Make sure you are also taking supplements containing folic acid, at least not as much as 400 micrograms. However, supplements should be consumed with eating right.

RESULT too often look at the computer, in addition to computer eye syndrome, one could also exposed to other eye diseases. Someone who works in an office can also suffer from dry eye syndrome, which is a collection of symptoms caused by the dry surface layer of the cornea due to tear film that moisten and lubricate the eye surface has become damaged.
Can also suffer astenopia person, namely a collection of symptoms that occur due to fatigue because of excessive eye activity and less rest. In addition, could also be exposed refraction disorder (such as myopia or astigmatism). Refraction disorder is a disturbance of vision focus on the eye shadow does not fall precisely on the retina in the eye as the center of vision. Refraction disorder sufferers complain will make vision blurred. Refractive disorders are often found due to the work is myopia or astigmatism.

“Dry eye syndrome, astenopia, computer vision syndrome, a disorder refractive myopia or astigmatism caused by factors that are in the work environment,” he said. In dry eye disease eye, can be caused by the humidity working environment due to dry air conditioned. Risk factor syndrome, dry eye is exposed to dry air from the air conditioner excessively.

Dry air will evaporate the liquid from the pores of the body and the surface of the eyeball. To avoid this, a person who was in the room air conditioner long enough to consume enough fluids.

“In addition it is recommended to consume enough fluids, when the eyes begin to feel dry, because kedipkanlah eye blink movement will pump back to tear film and lubricate enveloping eyeball,” the message.

The eyes can be caused astenopia less rest after a long look at the computer, focus on reading or writing numbers is too long. Astenopia risk factor is excessive use of eyes and less rest. In the administrative work, we are required to read or make a lot of writing. The letters are used also varies from small to large sizes.

We read the eyes at close range or reading distance, our eyes make the accommodation process requires the work of the muscles in the eye accommodation. If the accommodation activities carried out continuously, the muscle will fatigue and eventually reduced the power of accommodation.

If there is this eye muscle fatigue, it will cause eye was irritating, sore, sometimes a little pain, and may be accompanied by slightly blurred vision. How to avoid it is to rest the eyes.

Methods eye rested there are various and in essence, is to release accommodation in our eyes. There are several formulas that can be used, namely “20-20-20″, every 20 minutes to see much at a distance of more than a sharp 20/20 vision (or six feet), look away for 20 seconds
