According to Drs. Saleh Ifran FISC, DSBO, orthopedic surgery doctor RSUPN Ciptomangunkusumo, scoliosis is actually an abnormal curve of the spine. Normal, when viewed from the front area / coronal, one curve of the spine straight line from neck to sacrococcygeus (tail bone). “Well, scoliosis occurs when there is an aberration or deviation to the lateral direction (left or right) so crooked and not straight. When viewed with X-ray image will appear curve,” said Ifran.

When viewed from the side / lateral view there is a curve ahead and hold back. “Point guard so that his spine stable. Spine, that, right, straight baseball, lo. Bones neck arched forward (lordosis), spine arched backward (kifosis), lumbar bone (hip) will forward again, then on sacrum bone (the bone sitting) will be to the rear or kifosis, right down to the coccyx.

At first glance unrelated, because the disorder occurs in the airways of asthma while the reflux of stomach acid occurs in the digestive tract. However, in some cases, asthma can get worse when stomach acid rises into the esophagus.

Increase in acid reflux or stomach contents into the esophagus occurs when the valve connecting the stomach to the esophagus does not close completely. This condition is characterized by pain or burning in your chest and throat.

Because the esophagus lies close to the throat of an airway, it makes sense if the rise of stomach acid can affect asthma. Moreover, advancements in data Allergy and Asthma Care (AAAC) showed 50-80 percent of the 15 million asthma sufferers in the United States also had a history of reflux.

“Because the symptoms of gastric acid reflux is chest pain and heat in the throat, rarely would have thought if an asthma attack also could indicate reflux of stomach acid,” said Debra Peterson, a medical practitioner in Minnesotta AAAC, the United States. Read the rest of this entry »

The government should impose monitoring salt content in the diet to combat heart disease, and not allowing food manufacturers to set the level of salt content.

Thus the results of a study of some researchers in Australia.
Eating too much salt increases blood pressure and make people face the risk of stroke and heart disease, chronic illnesses that drain the resources of public health.

“If we rely on companies to voluntarily reduce salt content, there is little advantage, but the benefits of the reduction shall be 20 times bigger,” said Linda Cobiac from the School of Population Health at the University of Queensland in Australia.

In Australia, 94% men and 64% of women consume more salt than recommended. The study also states that nine out of 10 Americans also consume too much salt.

“When salt intake too much, it makes sense for the government to act,” said Cobiac. “For the long term the government can cut costs by reducing the salt content in food.”

The study, released Tuesday (2 / 11) in Heart, published by the British Medical Journal, shows when the company controlling the salt content of foods, heart disease and stroke rates drop by up to one percent. But when the government imposed regulations, the figure is down 18%.

Relying on people to apply self-discipline is less effective method, to reduce heart disease and stroke just as much as 0.5% did so.

Pomegranate fruit (pome) contains antioxidants that help prevent clogging of the arteries and prevent prostate cancer. Pomegranates contain vitamins A, C, and E and folic acid is important in the early stages of pregnancy.

If you are a man, married, and marriage were filled with tenderness and joy, then your risk of stroke was lower than with other colleagues who are not married or whose marriages are not lasting.

Research conducted on 10,000 people of Israel to find those who are still single or feel less happy with his marriage is more at risk for stroke. The results of this study are presented in a meeting of the American Stroke Association International Conference.

A number of researchers from Tel Aviv University analyzed interviews conducted on male residents and government employees in the 1960s. Respondents who average 49-year-old was asked to rate their marital happiness scale.

The researchers then look at the data of respondents who died of a stroke 34 years later by comparing the results of these interviews. After considering the socio-economic factors and trigger a stroke, such as hypertension and smoking, the researchers found a huge connection between marital status and the risk of stroke.

Men who are single have a stroke risk 64 percent higher than a married colleague. However, those whose marriages are happy it Risio strokes lower. Conversely, a stressful marriage and love that began to fade to increase the risk of heart disease.

Various studies indicate that marital life quality, comfortable and peaceful, positive impact on health. However, health experts warn, other than happiness, more lifestyle determines your risk of stroke. “Exercise, a balanced diet and blood pressure is maintained is the most effective way to prevent stroke,” said Dr.Peter Coleman, deputy research director of the Stroke Association, UK.
