Mingling Create Happy Old Age

Playing with the grandchildren is nice, but that's not what makes the Opa and Oma happy. Stay socially active and have many friends and of course have a life partner is considered more happy. At least for the elderly people in the UK.

In a survey of 279 retirees in the United Kingdom mentioned that having grandchildren is proud, but there are positives and negatives through old age surrounded by his grandchildren.

"The upside of having a child grandchildren funds will add purpose and meaning in life, but when most of the time have to keep the grandchildren would destroy the freedom and autonomy which is at the core of retirement," said Oliver Robinson, a researcher from the University of Greenwich, England.

The respondents involved in the survey were taken from the site retirees. They were asked to fill out questioners about family, friends and their activities in retirement. They were also asked to rate their own happiness scale.

When compared between Opa and Oma who have children and grandchildren with a no, there was no difference in the life satisfaction scale. The difference is with friendship and social life that they have assessed more bring happiness in old age.

And experts say the retired elderly who are often trapped in the sense of loneliness. That's why sociable and socially active is considered to meet psychological needs. "People who have a community of friendship in old age have a purpose and feel more able to hone their skills, if the community involve skill," said Robinson.

Meaning having peers (peer) is not only felt by the teenagers. In every stage of age, we will feel better understand the stages of life friends are we live. "Social support also gives us," added Robinson.

Apart from peers, spouses also considered very important to increase life satisfaction in old age. Research has shown that senior citizens are widowed or divorced, never married, divorced, or even feel his life less happy.

Stingy Do not Say Thank You

Sometimes little things just make your relationship and your partner even closer. For example, thanked each other. By saying thank you, our sense of satisfaction to the couple will also increase.

Expression of gratitude and thanks, if delivered with sincerity, will increase the strength of a relationship. According to Nathaniel Lambert, an expert in psychology in the journal Psychological Science.

"When we express gratitude to someone, we will increasingly focus on the good things people have done it to us. This will make us more focused on positive things in your relationship and he was," said Lambert.

In a study conducted Lambert is known, the majority of respondents who expressed gratitude to the people they feel closest relationships become stronger. "People who get gratitude also be moved to do the same thing," he said.

Lambert explained, in today's modern life, we tend to dwell on personal gain. "We are often looking for what people do for us yet. This is where the importance of a thank you because he can turn a negative into a positive focus," he said.

Well, how about you, what thank have become scarce in life with a partner?

Mother and Daughter

Apparently quite a lot of mother-whether consciously or not-is the main critics for his daughter. That caused her maiden difficult to cultivate a sense of pride and love of self, leaving a hole big emptiness that can not understand how to fill them.

The main critics

R, 26 yrs, routinely write any upset and argued with her mother.

1. Relations I and Mom is still a negative nuance. I'm hooked every time mama way or the story, I will give input on mama. Then mama angry, go ballistic, and immediately said I was wicked, insolent, wicked religion but even so, unlike baseball as a kid I used to never resist or revolt.

2. The more often be with Mom, I'm always the source of anger and quarreling mama. Would it be better if I stay away from mama. What is often thought of was to get out of the house, nge-boarding. Hu-hu-hu ... I was so scared mama with a behavior, can be angry all-out until I was screaming cursing, throwing things, then not long later, apologized and blamed himself. What happened, I became involved follow-up crushed, such as low- then stroked again, where the meaning of love which should I take? "

Women "object"?

Some young women talked about the mother who commented negatively about your body, clothes, make-up is chosen ("very fat, watch out it will be an item, like that dress, grooming, dong"). Or assess her maiden from romance with men ("men like that taken away, if so how can the appearance of behavior, when going out, mama ashamed you have not yet married!").

The other with tears in his eyes said he wanted to jump off the bus just because her mother does not care about the difficulties of his life. In fact, no less (which was carried out of their mother and father) who was forced to check her Hymen since been caught having sex with a girlfriend (somehow nuanced violence or not). Then father and mother is urging doctors to perform surgery hymen ("I do not want my child was known already 'damaged'"; "shame on the candidate besan later"). In fact, it is clear hymen surgery form of lying.

It must be the mother who made her maiden outcry was very fond of children, but most likely caught in a very stereotipik views about women. It seems the main themes of the show is to make sure kids can run the stereotypical role of women as "objects look" and "object needs" of men.

Must be beautiful, slim, likes men, have (prospective) spouses are okay, should be sexually attractive as well as obligations to maintain the "purity". When the "virginity" lost it almost like the end, who cared not how to provide support and reinforcement in children, but instead more and drop it in a ravine.

These mothers do not realize how their behavior is destroying confidence daughters. Man, women and men need to be respected with the dignity of humanity-utuhnya entirely, not just on the body is reduced, let alone mere "merchandise" is sold or not sold, damaged or still "new." Maybe it's not too painful when the stigma is given by the outside society, but when the parents themselves-are ideally become the largest source of emotional support for child-injury may be brought up to old age.

Mother of "injury"

The young woman may be able to start managing pain when understanding the mother may care for, but do not know how. Perhaps he had also become a highly charged figure of "objects". Just fill the horizon so that the mother's understanding. Maybe they believe to be beautiful and fulfilling the needs of the man's main source of happiness of women, become tense and very worried if their children fail to meet the demands of this role.

It is possible that the mother had a lot of his own inner wounds, either with his mother in the past, or with her husband, which resulted in chaos feelings about themselves. Then, the chaos that feeling was projected onto his daughter. Like the R stories:

"She suffered in her marriage life. Always sacrifice and relented from Dad, that's why, he said, I must oppose if mama baseball talk. Must listen. Mama always swore would never again curse the same story if I need to break up aja deh. But again, mom would the story again whatever it was, from the poor rude behavior, or behavior that often undermine the money made destitute. "Moreover, his mother also must have patience to bear the negative comments sisters of his father, who assess the mother is "less classy".

Perhaps pain will also be reduced if understood that the mother did not reflect the lack or bad things about children, but reflects the limitations and the wounds of the mother herself. Meanwhile, who missed his mother, who did not care, maybe can look for other female figures who can replace the role of mother to give guidance and coolness.

To be sure, the girl is not merchandise, but the man is very valuable in their own uniqueness. In the end, I hope the mothers and prospective mothers, and fathers and prospective fathers understand, if you want a positive reception from the children, affection and guidance should be shown in positive language. Sentences like: "mama glad see you wear it"; "there is still one tiknya anyway, but you are very good writing" feels soothing and definitely will develop self-acceptance.

HIV Transmission from Mother to Infants always increase

HIV transmission from mother to infant tends to increase steadily over the increasing number of women with HIV in Indonesia. Although the prevalence data of HIV transmission from mother to baby is still limited, but the trend of transmission will continue to rise because the number of HIV positive pregnant women tend to increase.

Thus disclosed Deputy Assistant Regional Development of the National AIDS Commission Good Rahmat Prabowo in discussion "The Importance of Providing Access to HIV / AIDS Prevention of Mother to Child (Prevention-Mother-To-Child-Transmission/PMTCT-)" which was held in Bandung Frisian Flag Indonesia , on Wednesday (01/12/2010).

Good explains, from about 4.5 million pregnancies in Indonesia every year, an estimated 25 percent raises risk of HIV transmission from mother to baby. Estmasi This can be seen from the HIV screening data obtained from PMTCT services.

"Data in 2008 showed that the number of pregnant women who test for HIV as many as 5167 people, of which 1306 (25%) of them HIV positive," he said.

Good adds, until 2008, has been available PMTCT services to 30 services are integrated in the MCH services (antenatal care). PMTCT programs have also been adopted by several institutions of society, especially for outreach and expand access to PMTCT services.

Increased number of HIV positive pregnant women, continued Good, makes the need for PMTCT services will increase. Based on the results of projections and modeling of the HIV epidemic, the number of positive pregnant women who need PMTCT services will increase from 5730 persons in 2010 to 8170 people in 2014.

On the same occasion, Dr. Reni Ghrahani of Allergy Immunology Division Staff Section of Child Health, Faculty of Medicine, University of Padjadjaran states, prevention becomes very important because every pregnant women with HIV / AIDS to their babies at risk of transmitting 25 to 45 percent. The risk of transmission when the mother has appeared in a state of pregnancy, during childbirth until later when breastfeeding their babies.

"Poor people's knowledge related to transmission and prevention of HIV / AIDS to make Indonesia as the fastest country in the spread of HIV / AIDS in Asia. The worse the condition of the mother, risk of transmission to infants will increase. The process of delivery by Caesarean section and do not give milk to babies from mothers with HIV / AIDS can reduce the risk of transmission to 35 percent, "he said.

Meanwhile, Corporate Communications Manager Frisian Flag Indonesia (FFI) Anton Susanto, confirms it is committed to improving nutrition and public health, especially children.

For this reason, the FFI has commenced involvement in the partnership program to provide access to HIV prevention from mother to child (PMTCT) in Bandung since March 2009. FFI has teamed up with the KPA, Bandung, West Java Commission for Health (KUJBS) and several nongovernmental organizations to help the PMTCT program through the provision of counseling and monitoring support to mothers with HIV / AIDS.

"We are aware that in several countries has shown that preventive action through PMTCT programs can reduce the risk of transmission rates significantly," he said.

For his support of the PMTCT program in Bandung since two years ago, FFI receives award from Bandung City Government. Award presented by Mayor Dada Rosada coincide with World AIDS Day.

Electronic cigarettes and health effects

Electronic cigarettes and health effectsElectronic Cigarettes does not need to burn and can be used repeatedly. Electronic cigarette is called with the electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) has now entered the Asian market such as Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Japan and South Korea.

including Indonesia are now whipping the public and medical circles. This product is designed like a traditional cigarette. The distinguishes electronic cigarette with usually ENDS circulation issues in various countriestraditional cigarette is high technology.

ENDS estimated first produced in China in 2003. ENDS presence is still banned in some countries because they are classified toxic cigarettes and very harmful with health effects. On ENDS consists of a lithium-ion batteries that can be electronically controlled, small heating element or atomizer, and the cartridge contains nicotine solution in propylene glycol / glycerin / diethylene glycol.

Works the ENDS same with smoking tobacco. At the time the user smokes a pipe smoking, a vaporizer or edges will light up and work to change the liquid inside to steam. Rechargeable battery that can provide energy to the vaporizer and has an indicator light to show when equipment is being used.

When inhaled, warming nicotine and then going into the lungs. Same way with smoking, because that tool is recommended to replace cigarettes. Printed on the packaging label "HEALTH", but this is considered to deceive the public because there are no data that clearly reveal the chemical combination that you entered during the setup process.

Electronic cigarettes or ENDS sold at $20 price range. Offered with a variety of different flavors, ranging from a sense of brand cigarette tobacco based products to various kinds of fruit flavor.

Age and Sex Male Ability Decrease

When you are twenty years of age, you probably never thought about the difficulty to get an erection. But when your age has crept past the number 40, desire and sexual ability you may not be as good as before.

Physical changes and decline in social ability has been mostly due to decreased levels of the hormone testosterone gradually. The decrease of hormones that also affect the energy, strength, muscle and fat mass, bone density and sexual function.

What are the sexual problems faced by middle-aged men?

- In the mid-50s, a man needs physical stimulation and psychological longer to be ready and able to have sex. Even so, in fact strongly influenced men's sexual desire of health and habits than her age. A healthy and fit man normally will remain ready and excited to old age.

- Along with age, a man may take longer to get an erection and maintain it.

- At age 20, your erection occurs in real-time and hard as wood. But now your penis is sometimes weak and limp. The changes were normal. All you need to do to prevent it is to maintain fitness with exercise to keep blood flow smoothly, including to the penis area.

- Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Many of us know that the best way to avoid STDs is to remain faithful to one partner. But if you secretly have multiple partners and not using a condom, maybe you will suffer from diseases that are transmitted through sexual intercourse. Some common diseases, genital herpes, syphilis, chlamydia, hepatitis, or HIV.

Careful, Super Bacteria Threaten World Health

Careful, Super Bacteria Threaten World HealthBritish medical experts warn, there is a new bacteria that threaten human life. It belongs to the super bacteria resistant to antibiotics because even the most powerful. Later, these bacteria have been found in a some of hospitals in England.

As quoted from the BBC, medical experts also explained, the bacteria that can make an enzyme called NDM-1 was taken by NHS patients who previously flew overseas to India and Pakistan to conduct cosmetic surgical procedures.

Although it was only discovered about 50 cases in the UK, experts fear these bacteria will spread globally. For handling, it takes a more control as well and new drugs.

Similar infections have been found in the U.S., Canada, Australia and the Netherlands. No wonder then that international investigators say that the NDM-1 could be a major threat to global health. Currently, the bacterial infection had spread from one patient to another hospital in the UK.

Super Bacteria Spread Through Medical Tourism

Super Bacteria Spread Through Medical TourismThe spread of "super bacteria" in some countries, like UK, USA, Australia, Sweden, and Canada, one of which is triggered by the practice of plastic surgery or cosmetic surgery.

Research published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases, researchers from Cardiff University, UK have found that bacteria that can make NDM-1 enzymes that are found in Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan.

The super bacteria are transmitted to some of countries through which new patients again underwent plastic surgery in India or Pakistan. In the U.S., for instance, recorded three cases of this bacteria was found in patients who underwent the new treatment in India, a country where people often come to seek cheaper treatment or alternative treatment.

"India is also providing plastic surgical services for patients from Europe and America, and mayber NDM-1 will be spread throughout the world," Timothy Walsh said, who do research and collect samples of "super bacteria".

With teams from various countries, Walsh managed to collect bacteria samples from many patients in two hospitals in India, namely Chennai hospital and Haryana hospital. In addition, some patients referred from the English national laboratories since 2007 until 2009.

Walsh and his team found 44 patients positive with NDM-1 bacteria in Chennai hospital, 26 patients in the hospital Haryana, 37 in England, and another 73 in the territory of Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan. Some British people are positively affected by NDM-1 had ever visited India or Pakistan for medical treatment, including plastic surgery.

NDM-1 bacteria was reported resistant to various types of antibiotics including the carbapenems, a drug that is used for emergency purposes and overcome a variety of infections due to resistant germs, such as methicillin-resistant Staphyloccus aureus (MRSA) and C-difficile.

Diabetes Drug Could Raise Risk of Heart Attack

WASHINGTON - The Senate report on the diabetes drug Avandia says both GlaxoSmithKline and the Food and Drug Monitoring Agency America since the beginning should have warned consumers about the side effects of the drug, instead of now. The report recommended that Avandia be withdrawn from circulation.

In 2007, a researcher, Dr. Steven Nissen, publishes research results that showed Avandia increased the risk of heart attack by 43 percent and Avandia users face the risk of death greater than 64 percent who did not use the drug. "We had warned the side effects that started two and a half years ago. There is no reason for doctors to continue prescribing the drug. It's about time the drug was withdrawn," said Nissen.

Yet doctors continue to prescribe Avandia to hundreds of thousands of patients around the world. Dr. Yasser Ousman from the General Hospital Center of Washington to prescribe drugs for a number of potential patients with diabetes and for patients with early stage diabetes. According to him there are a number of drugs to the patients tested, including Avandia. In fact, he said, Avandia is effective in maintaining blood sugar levels, and slows the patients affected by diabetes.

But Nissen again warned the side effects of Avandia. "The most disturbing me is that every month more and more people suffering from the drugs that are not needed that," he said. Nissen reports on the results of 42 clinical trials showed an association between Avandia and heart problems. But Yasser Ousman said that based on information and statistics from the early research Nissen in 2007, the risk of heart problems in the research was actually small.

Studies on the use of Avandia GlaxoSmithKline funded and published last year found there was no increase in risk of heart attacks in users of the drug. However, these studies found no increase in risk of heart failure in Avandia users because the heart is not enough blood to organs or muscles. In some cases, the patient should be hospitalized or died.

Agency U.S. Food and Drug Administration said it would examine the links Avandia and heart problems. Agency panel of experts is scheduled to meet in July. The agency warned that Avandia users do not stop this medicine unless the doctor orders.

Obese Patients Easily Affected Asthma

Obese Patients Easily Affected AsthmaNEW YORK - The owner of overweight let alone obese people at risk of many diseases, one of which is shortness of breath or asthma. Not only that, doctors in Canada also find it difficult to diagnose whether they have asthma or lung disease because sufferers often experience similar symptoms.

A study in the journal of Canada says the doctor could not tell when a patient was diagnosed with obesity than people in general. But, research has shown that the past, spirometry, standardized tests of lung function, not used as often as they should in asthma diagnosing, Dr. Smita Pakhale said Ottawa Hospital in Ontario, Canada, which sparked a new discovery.

''Asthma should be diagnosed based on symptoms and lung-function testing and the second this could be a factor in the error diagnosis in this study. Pakhale told to Reuters Health News last week - although, he adds, it's just speculation.

Pakhale also showed that high-risk obese adults experience health problems that can cause asthma-like symptoms and shortness of breath chest. It was included in the group with low fitness levels, reflux of acid and high heart disease.

Pakhale said they knew someone who had asthma after being released from the emergency room or medical clinics, should immediately undergo further treatment by primary physicians. In order, he added, they can obtain additional testing or evaluation, which could reveal the cause of truth, when if it was not asthma.

The study involved 496 adults randomly selected from eight Canadian cities that have been diagnosed with asthma. Most of them are obese - a nickname obesity patients - and the rest, a small part of normal body weight.

Overall, lung function tests confirmed 70 percent of participants diagnosed with asthma. Of this amount both men and women, respectively, had undergone emergency treatment-related respiratory problems in the past year.

Obese participants who did not have asthma, as many 21 percent, it has also been urged to seek treatment for respiratory symptoms in the last year. While the percentage of respiratory symptoms and asthma symptoms in men and women of normal body weight less than 10 percent.

Healthy tips to treat diabetes with fasting

Healthy tips to treat diabetes with fastingHealth experts stressed that patients with diabetes mellitus are still able to perform the fasting of Ramadan that became pillars of Islam for Muslims. "But only for diabetes controlled, with blood sugar levels under 180. If the blood sugar levels above 180, you should not fast because it could dangerous," consultant diabetes endocrinology-metabolism said.

starting to run fast is not provided with other Diabetics are controlled so as to keep a healthydisease and blood sugar levels do not fluctuate too drastically. Even for some diabetics, there at the end of the fasting month which decreased blood sugar and cholesterol levels and some fat diabetic losing weight.

As for food intake regulation, that diabetic no change in the number and type of food. The calories and food type with a typical day schedule just different. It would be better if the results continue to use complex carbohydrates as the main carbohydrate source.

For schedule of eating, the food intake diabetic can divide into two meals (breaking of fast and dawn) or can be divided into three (breaking of fast, snacks and evening meal) provided that the number of calories that you entered the amount fixed as usual. Nonetheless, reminder that not all people with diabetes can run fast and do not even recommend that diabetics blood sugar levels above 180 to fast. Diabetisi with blood sugar levels above 180 even dangerous to fast and not recommended.

In addition, if there is hypoglycemia or low blood sugar levels, diabetics who are fasting are also required to immediately cancel the fasting and drinking sugar water. If symptoms of hypoglycemia among others suddenly felt incredibly hungry, cold sweats or chest thumping must immediately cancel the fast and quickly drank sugar water or any food that contains sugar as quickly as possible.

Diabetes is divided into several classes or types and two of the most widely experienced is type 1, namely the pancreas can not produce insulin and type 2 pancreas can still produce insulin but the amount is insufficient.

The second diabetics is the person who can fasting with a record of their blood sugar well controlled or below 180 mg / dl and not suffering from a disease or other severe complications. And diabetes type 2 should not fast.

Brain Scan abused as Lie Detector

Edinburgh, The brain of people who lie will 'glow' in specified areas when seen from the scan or brain scan. Unfortunately the process of scanning the brain much abused as a lie detector.

Yet to read the scans of the brain health not only result solely from pictures alone, need the ability to further understanding.

Brain scans are now widely used as lie detectors by the company in receiving the employee, the court until the insurance company.

Unfortunately, the use by the parties not only be a comprehensive look at the results of the drawing only. Then the results were used as evidence as though it had the power equipment.

Experts worry that a scan tool can find electrical activity of brain cells has been misused by the courts, insurers and employers as a lie detector.

At least one U.S. company to offer brain scans to entrepreneurs, which is used for employee recruitment. But American courts have been ready to reject its use in legal proceedings.

Burkhard Schafer University of Edinburgh said there are privacy issues that interfere with the reliability of this technology. This issue is being discussed by experts from around the world at a conference at the Institute of Advanced Studies in Glasgow.

More than 90 death penalty cases in the United States, as well as other processes in Europe and Asia have used MRI scans (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) as a lie detector or to indicate mental health problems. Even if it is rejected in most cases, test results sometimes accepted as evidence.

"England should consider how to prevent the misuse of MRI scans and how to protect the privacy of people," said Burkhard Schafer, co-director of SCRIPT Centre for Research in Intellectual Property and Technology at the School of Law, University of Edinburgh, as reported by the BBC, Tuesday (8 / 6 / 2010).

Schafer added there are also employers or insurance companies who are looking for opportunities to use these brain scans to test the honesty of curriculum vitae (CV) of prospective employees.

"MRI scans should not be used in this way, the people who do not understand science," said Schafer.

Joanna Wardlaw, professor of neuroimaging applications Edinburgh University, said that brain scans can be blamed is meant for people who do not understand the true science. People who are not in the research environment will think differently about this brain scan.

"It is difficult to apply the results of scans a person in a situation like this, where there are threats of legal action. The result of a scan that offers a reliable and interesting pictures, many companies make them interesting bag. But there must be understanding so much more to it," added Wardlaw .

Professor Geraint Rees, director of the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, University College London, expressed concern about the potential use of a scan that started to appear now.

Young Mother 18 Years Want liposuction, Doctors Concerned

Melbourne, If you saw the appearance of Young's trade, at first glance there is no problem in the form of his body. Her face was beautiful and fresh, though the young mother was 18 years old has a child.

But Young did not seem satisfied with her body and planned to perform liposuction in the abdomen. But Australia's women's operating plan that just made the doctors in the country concerned Kangaroo.

Young is too young age is considered highly susceptible to physical and psychological impact. Your doctor also considers Young could still return the stomach is naturally beautiful with the exercise.

"Young is very vulnerable so that medical officers should ensure that proper procedures. For me, this is still a big question mark," said John Flynn of the Australian College of Cosmetic Surgery as quoted from News.com.au, Thursday (06/10/2010) .

John Young's rate action on the operation too risky. Young plans to increase his anxiety to remember in more than one type of surgery. Doctors assess the age of 30-60 years of age who are fit to perform the operation because the body is difficult to be formed.

According to John, cosmetic surgery at a very young age must be preceded by a psychological examination. For if the procedures did not succeed to provide the actual solution of the problem, the situation could become even worse.

Young feared that many doctors actually feel steady to perform the operation. Young admitted having problems with her appearance since giving birth two years ago.

Therefore he planned to fly into Malaysia to tighten the stomach, breast, vagina as well. The choice to Malaysia because of the cost of operations that can be cheaper than the other half in Australia.

"Since giving birth, my body shape never came back as usual. Diet and exercise do not work, so I wanted the operation to restore confidence," said Young.

To do the surgery, Young should provide AUD 13 000 or about USD 100 million. Young admitted to borrow money for it to friends.

Gorgeous Getaways, companies administering cosmetic surgical procedures that will facilitate the operation plan Young. This company was aggressively advertising in Melbourne during summer holiday season.

Louise Cogan, admitted the director is very concerned with the problem of Young. "I've seen pictures Young, and I think his stomach was needed surgery," says Cogan.

According to Cogan, the operation could be an option when diet and exercise did not work back into shape Young. Even so, Cogan acknowledge Young is too young to remember the other clients who average 30-40 years of age.

Gorgeous Getaways themselves serve no less than 400 Australians each year, to undergo cosmetic surgery in Malaysia. Approximately 80 percent of them perform two types of surgery or even more, ranging from liposuction to the facelift.

German Little Girl Perfect Looking Through The Eyes

Frankfurt, the new man can see if both eyes functioning perfectly normal. But a little girl 10 years old from Germany was able to see perfectly just like a normal human being with only one functioning eye.

Have successfully solved the mystery scientists are researching how the little girl with only half a brain, - because the right side of his brain is not working - able to have perfect vision in one eye.

The experts have been researching and working to map the left side of the girl who lost sight right side of his brain that. Researchers from the University of Glasgow reported these findings in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Brain's daughter was found not developing at the age of three years through an MRI scan test. This started when the little girl suffered a brief seizure of parts left unintentionally.

Once separated from the attack, which was successfully treated, these children have a little weakness on the left side of her vision. Yet he still attending school and taking part in routine activities.

Generally, patients who have half a brain can only see objects on the left or right only. But, for the case of these German girls, left and right part of the vision in one eye is almost perfect.

Scan in girls showed that the retinal nerve yarn carrying visual information from the back of the eye which should go to the right brain left brain is diverted to.

Dr Lars Muckli, from the university's Center for Cognitive neuroimaging as reported by the BBC, Sunday (07/26/2009) working with colleagues from Frankfurt, says this child have brains enough to make the magic and wonder. The only part of the child's brain can adjust to the other missing parts.

"Despite not having some other brain, this girl has a normal physiological functions and is able to live normally. He's smart, attractive and intelligent," said Dr. Lars Muckli.

New York, chemical compounds, BPA (Bisphenol-A) are chemical substances that are harmful to the reproductive system, nervous, immune system and cause cancer. Recently, researchers have found exposure to BPA in canned foods suspected of more than plastic bottles.

During this time, BPA is known widely available in plastic bottles. Recent studies found that exposure to BPA allegedly more on food packaged in cans, like sardines, canned beverages, infant formula, cornet, canned fruit, and others, rather than foods that are packed with plastic bottles.

"Exposure to BPA canned food is much broader than plastic bottles," says Shanna Swan, a professor and researcher at the University of Rochester in New York, as quoted from Foxnews, Thursday (10/06/2010).

BPA is a key compound layer of epoxy resin (epoxy resin) which keeps food fresh and prevent these foods interact with metals and changes in taste.

As quoted from Reuters, from several studies, BPA is not only associated with cancer, but also obesity, diabetes, heart disease, nerve damage, impotence and even to death.

In canned foods, a thin layer of epoxy resin is between foods and cans, which helps guard did not interact with each other and prevent the rust.

Resin is sprayed into the cans and can be dried immediately. Thousands of international big beverage companies allegedly used to coat cans of their production.

Without this layer of resin, packaged food that will more quickly destroyed. Cans who lack this chemical compound will also explode on store shelves when it reacts with metal cans.

First synthesized in 1891, CPA is a commercial speaker, which widely used in various applications, ranging from plastic boats to counter money.

As an important compound in the layer of epoxy resin, BPA acts as part of the base polymer complex, and was first used in 1940 in food cans.

Even more worrisome, according to Prof. Swan, alleged exposure to BPA is most prevalent in infant formula cans, either milk formula for infants and pregnant women.

Hugh Taylor, a professor and researcher at Yale University who helped lead the research on BPA, said these chemicals are changing the way genes respond to estrogen and opened up opportunities babies in the womb cancer later in life.

"I tell my pregnant patients to avoid products that contain these harmful compounds. Even brief exposure in pregnancy can cause permanent damage," said Hugh Taylor who is also a gynecologist.

Because BPA has long been considered safe for packaging cans, only a few studies have done to be able to find a replacement who turned out this dangerous compound.

"Currently, there are no other types of epoxy resins that can provide the level of food security, stability, duration, and cost effectiveness to maintain the shelf life of fruits and vegetables in cans," said Steve Russell, head of the plastics division for the American Chemistry Council, an industry trade group .
