Multiple Sclerosis is a disease of the central nervous disorder that weakens the immune system. A study showed that obese adolescent girls affected by MS have opportunities in the future.

During the 40-year study of 238,000 women found that adolescent girls suffer from obesity at the age of 18 years had twice the risk of MS affected than teens of that age have more slender bodies.

Fatty tissue which accumulates as a teenager allegedly memproduki substances that affect the immune system that triggers the possibility of MS.

However, body size during the children and adults are not found in relation to risk of MS. Researchers have made a study report in the journal Neurology. Researchers still need to take further evidence to confirm these findings.

Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health used data from the nurses about diet, lifestyle factors and health. During the study, 593 women are diagnosed with MS, a disease caused by loss of nerve fibers and myelin sheath in the brain and spinal cord that makes nerve damage.

Researchers compared the risk of disease with body mass index (BMI) or weight to height ratio, in women aged 18 years. Studies show those who have weight BMI 30 or greater at the age of 18 years had twice the risk of MS.

“Our results indicate that body weight during adolescence is very important in determining the risk of MS,” said Kassandra Munger ScD from Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, as quoted by BBC News, Monday (9/11/2009).

“There are many studies that support that adolescence is an important time for the development of the disease, so what we found was associated with it,” he said.

He added that obesity prevention early adolescence is an especially important step in reducing the risk of MS in the future.

Previous research has found vitamin D levels are high can reduce the risk of MS and the researchers showed that obesity associated with low levels of vitamin D in the body.

electromagnetic waves from cell phones (mobile phone) can prevent even alleged cure of diseases forgetting someone very frightening memories, namely Alzheimer’s disease.

Researchers concluded that because it was proved in laboratory mice. Normal mice that received exposure to electromagnetic waves in the long term it can avoid even rats with Alzheimer’s disease that was gradually improved.

In the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, researchers say the findings are possible techniques applied to electromagnetic waves in the treatment of disease affecting 5.3 million people in the United States.

Previous studies have connected between the electromagnetic waves or Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) emitted by mobile phones of several diseases such as brain tumors, cancer and others. But with this latest study, researchers increasingly believe cell phone radiation is not dangerous, but actually useful.

In his study, Gary Arendash and other expert team of the Florida Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, University of South Florida, Tampa, studied mice that are genetically have Alzheimer’s disease gene. Every day, the mice were given one hour session of exposure to electromagnetic waves. This was done for 7 to 9 months.

The result, Alzheimer’s disease did not develop in mice that have Alzheimer’s gene, while mice that already have Alzheimer’s disease showed increased cognitive ability in his brain.

The scientists suspected emission of electromagnetic waves can destroy beta-amyloid plaque protein, namely the foreign proteins found in Alzheimer’s brain and believed to be the cause of decreased ability to recall and other brain functions.

The researchers also hypothesize that the increase in temperature due to EMF waves emitted is the cause of the destruction of foreign proteins in the brain.

“Waves are working with the two ways of destroying beta-amyloid protein plaques. First, EMF waves will activate the brain cells and eventually suppress the formation of the aggregate (collection) amyloid beta protein. Second, the protein is moved from the brain through the blood vessels,” explained Dr. Michael Palm, a professor of neuroscience and experimental Therapeutics and internal medicine from Texas A & M Health Science Center College of Medicine in College Station.

Although these studies successfully in mice, but many are not sure the results will be equally effective in humans because of differences in mouse and human brains.

In addition, many people are still worried about cell phone radiation mentioned can cause brain tumors, testicular cancer, eye, salivary glands and other diseases.

Women who have menstrual periods or early or before the age of 12 years had a risk of heart disease greater than the other women who have normal menstruation. They also reported more quickly died of stroke and heart attack.

Previous studies have shown that early menstruation affect a woman’s health in the future. Studies conducted on Norwegian women and note that women who get early period died faster than other women.

There are also studies that had an early connection between menstruation and the risk of diabetes because most women who have had early menstruation and body mass index greater body.

Now, the latest study researchers dlakukan England against 15,807 women aged 40 to 79 years over 13 years that women who got my period under 12 years of age will experience cardiovascular disease, one of them heart disease.

As many as 23 percent of women who had reported early period of heart disease and 28 percent died of a stroke and heart attack. They also have the risk of breast cancer greater than 25 percent of women who had menstruated in over 12 years of age.

As quoted from Doctorndtv, all other factors have been studied ranging from age, smoking habits, exercise and education level.

Although the exact cause is still unknown, it namunpeneliti suspected because of the hormone estrogen. Based on the results of existing studies, researchers finally concluded that women who receive early period tend to have more health problems. Women with this condition should be aware of these dangers and should be better at controlling her weight.

The study, published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism this new picture raises in medicine, the early period could be a sign of a certain disease in the future and treatment techniques will be developed to prevent that happening.

migraine patients tended to avoid the light to reduce the headaches that are recurrent. Why light conditions worsen migraines?

Migraine is a headache that is felt on one side of the head alone, this disease can even cause the sufferer experiencing nausea.

Scientists from Harvard found the path that is the basis of visual sensitivity to light migraine sufferers. This light can trigger a reaction in a group of active neurons in the brain for some time.

The study, published in the journal Nature Neuroscience, reveal a blind person because of factors of severe migraine degenaratif have the sensitivity to light or fear to be photographed.

Based on observations obtained from the light signal is transmitted from the retina through the optic nerve, but not known with certainty why can exacerbate the pain in the head.

Researchers analyzed 20 migraine sufferers who are blind and divided into 2 groups. The first group is completely blind due to diseases such as cancer or glaucoma, these patients can not see or feel the light image. Whereas the second group suffered blindness due to retinal degenerative diseases, although not able to see the picture but can detect the presence of light.

Patients in both groups experienced increased pain when exposed to light, while the first group did not demonstrate increased severity of pain if exposed to light.

“This shows the involvement of the optic nerve, because the first group of optic nerve does not carry light signals to the brain,” said Professor Rami Burstein, from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, USA,

Researchers also found a group of retinal cells containing melanopsin photoreceptors (to help control the body’s biological functions, including sleep and wake) are critically involved in this process.

Migraine pain is believed due to the membrane surrounding the brain and central nervous system affected. This stimulates pain receptors and triggers a series of events that leads to prolonged activation of the sensory neurons.

“When the small electrode is inserted into the ‘migraine neurons’, we found that this light can trigger the flow of electrical signals which are assembled in cells. This may help explain why migraine patients the pain improved after a few seconds exposed to light,” said Professor Burstein.
