Baltimore, The human brain is very complex and is the source of all feelings, behaviors, experiences, and the warehouse of memory and consciousness. But is it true that humans only use 10 percent of his brain?
The brain is very mysterious, and an additional one other mystery is the assumption that humans only use 10 percent of his brain. And if everyone could use another 90 percent of the brain, maybe everyone can be a scientist and has the power telekinetik.
"Though an interesting idea," 10 percent myth "is absolutely untrue, and very amusing," said Barry Gordon, a neurologist at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore, as reported from ScientificAmerican, Wednesday (05/12/2010).
According to Gordon, a myth derived from the concepts of people about his own brain. This group saw itself as a lack of evidence that gray matter (cerebral cortex which contains the nerve cells of the body) has not been maximally utilized.
This is a false assumption. It may be true, at certain moments in one's life, such as when to rest and relax only use only 10 percent of the brain. But this does not apply to other conditions.
"It turned out that we use almost every part of your brain, and the most active brain almost all times. The brain represents three percent of body weight and needed 20 percent of the energy body," added Gordon.
The average weight of the human brain about three pounds (1.3 kg) and consists of the cerebrum, cerebellum and brain stem.
The cerebrum is the largest portion and do all the higher cognitive functions. Small brain responsible for motor functions, such as coordination and balance movements. And brain stem function is dedicated to breathe.
Most of the energy consumed by the brain is the initial force to trigger the firing millions of neurons (nerve) to be able to communicate with each other. Scientists think that the firing of nerves and connections that lead to the higher brain functions.
And the remaining energy is used to control other activities that are not recognized as heart rate, or a conscious like driving a car.
While it is true that every moment does not hit all parts of the brain simultaneously, but researchers using brain imaging technology to show that the brain as well as the muscles of the body, which continued to be active for 24 hours.
"Evidence shows that use 100 percent human brain," says John Henley, a neurologist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn..
Even according to Henley, in a state of sleep though, there are areas of the brain remains active, such as the frontal cortex that control things such as high-level thinking and self-consciousness, or somatosensory areas that help people recognize the surrounding environment.
As a simple example, when we poured the coffee in the morning, the active part of the brain is the occipital and parietal lobe, sensory motor and sensory motor cortex, basal ganglia, cerebellum and frontal lobe. Neural activity occurs in almost all brain within just a few seconds.
"This does not mean that if the brain is damaged, we can not perform everyday tasks," says Henley. He says that someone who suffered wounds in the brain or some brain has been deleted, can still live fairly normal. But this is because the brain has a way berkompensasi and ensure that the remaining parts of the brain can take over the task activity.

Measles Vaccine Provision of inhaled
Colorado, During the measles vaccine is given by injection to children who are sometimes frightened. But now being developed measles vaccine that can be inhaled (inhalable), so it does not make a child becomes frightened and sick. Although the measles vaccine has existed since long, but around 164 000 children die from the disease worldwide each year. The development of this vaccine itself may take up to five years.
Measles vaccine is in the form of inhalable powder and the powder contained in the vaccine is a mixed bag of 'Supercritical' carbon dioxide and a weak form of the measles virus. Bubbles (bubble) and microscopic droplets which will be manufactured into a dry powder that can be created, then inserted into a small bag with a plastic cover cap on the cylinder such as plastic beverage bottles.
Application by way of someone taking a deep breath and then the powder will go straight into the lungs. This is because the measles attack the respiratory tract. Clinical trials of this vaccine on humans will begin to be done in the next week, and vaccination is included in the treatment is cheap and easy for someone just inhale the steam that's in the bag.
"One of our goals to do this project is to eliminate the use of needles, because of the way as it could scare people, make them hurt, infectious diseases and a problem with a used needle disposal system is," said Professor Robert Sievers, principal investigator from the University of Colorado, USA, as quoted from Dailymail, Friday (7/6/2010).
Professor Sievers tells how this new vaccine will be very useful used in poor countries like India which is about two-thirds of all cases of measles deaths occur there. "It's not just the needle that can be scary some people, but the needle is also potentially be a means of disease spread in poorer countries where people re-using needles that have been used," he added.

10 strange diseases of human experience
Serious illnesses such as diabetes, cancer, stroke or heart already widely known. But actually there are many other diseases of unknown and even sound pretty strange. Any disease that? Many people who may never have heard of this disease and some of them have bad effects. As quoted from Healthmad and Docshop, Friday (5/7/2010) She's the diseases that sounded strange to humans:
1. Trichotillomania
The disease is spelled weird to comprehend. People who have this disease have the urge to pull hair to fall out, including body hair, scalp hair, beard, eyelashes, nose hair or eyebrows. This condition is likely due to abnormalities in serotonin and dopamine.
2. Cotard's Syndrome
Patients with this disease will feel that he is dead and nothing in the world again. It also felt that he had lost blood or internal organs and body parts that had decayed. This condition can be developed as a result of mental disease or associated with depression.
3. Kleptomania
Patients with this disease will always steal anything that is not even worth though. In some cases patients do not realize that it is a form of theft. At the time of stealing the patients feel happy or there is a certain satisfaction. An evidence suggests that abnormalities of serotonin in the brain can cause these diseases.
4. Stendhal Syndrome
This condition is spelled weird because someone who has this disease will suffer if exposed to the beautiful artwork in great numbers. In a short time the person will experience dizziness, rapid heart beat, confusion and hallucinations.
5. Exploding Head Syndrome
Patients felt there was a loud noise that seems to appear from inside his own head like an explosion. Usually occurs after a person is sleeping for two hours, but not because of a dream. Patients will feel fear and anxiety that accompanied the increase heart rate.
6. Pica
This disease causes the sufferer has the urge to eat strange foods other than food in general, such as paper, glue, clay, dirt, bricks or yarn. Some researches suspect this is due to mineral deficiency, but the exact cause is unknown.
7. Genital Retraction Syndrome
This syndrome causes a person becomes panicky, anxious and confused about parts of her body. For men have the idea that their penis will continue to shrink and disappear into the abdomen. Whereas a woman feels her breasts will shrink and get into the body.
8. Insensitivity to pain since birth
People who have this condition to become insensitive to pain or pain, they will not feel the pain if injured or bleeding wounds such as stab a pin in the skin. The cause is gene mutation that occurred in the synthesis of sodium in certain streams involved in the pain stimulus.
9. Moebius Syndrome
The disease is characterized by a lack of nerve in the face, eliminating eskpresi face. People with this syndrome will often be seen sleeping with open eyes, can not smile, frown, control eye blinking and disruption of the ability to speak and swallow.
10. Ondine's curse
It is estimated there are about 200-300 people around the world who has this disease. People who suffer from Ondine's curse has a very difficult time for taking in oxygen to make them look tired often and easily tired. If this happens during sleep and no medical help, it can cause death.

Lying and effect for health
London - How many times a man and woman lying in a year? Apparently quite a lot of numbers with all kinds of reasons. But experts warn the importance of telling the truth because lying is not good for health.
Results of research conducted Katie Maggs found that the average man lying 1092 per year, which means a lie 3 times a day. In contrast, the average woman lied 728 times in one year, or about two times a day.
Men usually lie with the excuse to cover up his bad habits, while women tend to lie to cover up true feelings.
"Lying may seem to be an inevitable part of human nature, but this is an important part of social interaction," says Katie Maggs, associate medical curator at the Museum of Science, which commissioned the study, as reported from Dailymail, Tuesday (05/18/2010) .
The results of this study have been published under the title 'Who Am I? " in the gallery of the museum, in west London, which aims to understand the brain science, genetics and human behavior.
But as reported Neuroendocrinology journal that examines the relationship between the mind and emotions on the immune system could affect health lie. Self-denial or lying to make someone feel negative emotions that lead to stress are buried. While telling the truth will release the emotional pressure thus reducing the risk of stress.
When you are telling the truth then it will protect itself from stress hormones. While lying will create a feeling of distress and can become a time bomb ready to explode anytime.
Here are 10 words that often do men lie and women:
Man
1. I do not drink alcohol
2. It's okay, I'm fine
3. Sorry, no cell phone signal
4. It's not expensive kok
5. I'm on the road
6. I am stuck in traffic
7. Your ass is not great affection kok
8. Sorry, I do not know your phone
9. You look skinny
10. This is what I always wanted
Woman
1. It's okay, I'm fine
2. I do not know, I never touched it
3. It's not expensive kok

Stem Grafted Cells Efficacious But Controversy
Transplant or stem cell transplant or stem cells (stem cells) is a new breakthrough in medicine. But research on stem cell always inviting debate and controversy. Stem cell technique is believed to cure various illnesses during this difficult unsolved such as cancer, leukemia, diabetes to Alzheimer's. Moreover, if the stem cells were derived from embryonic stem cells (human embryo).
How efficacious stem cell technique could cure various diseases? Based on the source, stem cells most widely used of embryonic stem cells or embryonic stemcells (from embryos less than 3 months old) and adult stem cells (Adult stemcells). Less like the stem cell researchers adults (Adult stemcells) because there is limited cell networks and take a long time to regenerate tissue cells. But adult stem cells does not damage the organs because only a few tissue cells taken.
Stem cells are commonly used embryonic stem cells, the stem cells derived from human embryos. How could of aborted embryos, embryos from IVF that failed, or cloning. Stem cells or embryonic stem cells are cells that grow in the development of early human embryos that would become the various human organs.
Stem cells from aborted embryos or cloning controversy reap is what is considered unethical because, intentionally abortionist. From the religious side also has not been given the green light. To reduce controversy researchers are now using embryos from IVF that failed. Researchers also now choose to use your baby's cord that has been born. Efficacy of umbilical cord stem cell bank this baby make baby's cord is quickly growing.
"Embryonic stem cells can be obtained through the umbilical cord of newborn babies," says Dr. Med Hardi Susanto, SPOG, gynecology specialists Siloam Hospitals Kebon Jeruk, the show One Day Scientific Symposium on 'Advances in Stem Cell and monoclonal antibodies' in Hotels Borobudur, Jakarta, Saturday (08/05/2010).
According to Dr. Hardi, baby's cord can be privately owned, where the owner can store the cord blood and the use of 'saving' umbilical cord to the interests of the owner himself. Or even a bank for umbilical cord can be made public, making it easier again for the public to get the umbilical cord to be used as a drug.
Umbilical cord blood can be used 100 percent by dipemiliknya, 60 percent for the siblings, 50 percent for the biological mother, 10 percent for the birth father, and others can use it when the HLA (human leukocyte antigen) match those stem cells.
Currently only 1:1000 to 1:200.000 who want to store umbilical cord blood for personal needs.
Why should the cord blood stored?
Hardi dr explained that cord blood contains many hematopoietic stem cells are the stem cells (HSCs).
Hematopoietic stem cells are multipotent stem cells that generate all blood cell types including myeloid (monocytes, basofil and macrophages, neutrophils, eosinophils, micronucleated, megakaryocytes / platelets, dendritic cells) and lymphoid lineage (T-, B-cells, NK cells) .
Apart from the baby's umbilical cord blood, basically all parts of the body can be used as stem cells, but not all parts of the body, stem cells can be retrieved easily.
According drg Ferry Sandra, DDS., PhD., Director of the Stem Cell & Cancer Institute, which is usually used as another source of stem cells is bone marrow, peripheral blood, amniotic fluid, placenta, adipose tissue, blood menstuasi, and teeth. Potent stem cells to cure various diseases during this difficult to solve because these stem cells can be transformed into specific cells they occupy.
According to Prof. Thomas Muller, MD, PhD from Insttitute for transfusion Medicine, Medizinische Hochschule Hannover (MHH), Germany, which is also a guest speaker seminars, various diseases can be cured with stem cells, among others:
1. Various types of cancer such as breast and liver cancer
2. Heart disease
3. Blood disorders like leukemia and limphoma
4. Autoimmune disorders
5. Blindness
6. Burn
7. Diabetes
8. Osteoporosis

Age 50 Years Best Start Living
New York, the level of stress and anger has been started since the early age 20 years and will continue to decline throughout life. Meanwhile, fears will continue and become a problem until the age of 50 years. Scientists say 50-year-old at the beginning of life is more fun and the best year for someone.
At the age of 50 years, then someone will be free from pressure or stress of work, living with a spouse and raising children, a sense of anxiety began to fade and the happy feelings that began to soar. If that's not enough, then other things will keep getting better every decade. This is of course remove the myth that old people will become angry and actually the man who was old would be more cheerful than the woman throughout her life.
In this study, the researchers asked male and 340 000 American women between the ages of 18-85 years about how the level of satisfaction on life. In addition participants were also asked to answer how often experiencing certain emotions such as happiness, pleasure, stress and worry.
It turned out that found the level of stress and anger has been started since the early age of 20 years. Worrying will continue and become a problem until the age of 50 years, but after that will begin to wane. While a sense of happiness and enjoyment of life began to increase in the age of 50 years and will continue even up to age above 85 years.
Researchers from Stony Brook University, New York State say that age brings wisdom and ability of a person to be able to harmonize with the feeling of life.
This study revealed that parents be better to leave all the negative things and start focusing on all that is good, so that it can rein in his emotions and enjoying every experience an enjoyable one.
"The results of this study support previous research that revealed that people who are elderly will be better able to see life in a positive situation and less likely to remember bad experiences," says psychologist Dr Arthur Stone of Stony Brook University, as quoted from Dailymail.

Starting Deadly Bacteria Infection Sore Throat
California - currently experiencing a sore throat is often ignored. A California man must fight alive against deadly bacterial infection that starts with a sore throat. Initially Patrick Abram Jr. (20 years) complained to her parents Patrick and Leslie Abram about a sore throat for two weeks.
However, when his father went to his house to check, she was shocked to discover her son's eyes turn yellow and swollen jaw, and his left leg. It turned out that this bacterial infection has spread to other parts of the body including the brain.
'This condition is more severe than just a sore throat, "said the father, as quoted from AOLHealth, Tuesday (05/18/2010).
His father eventually took Abram Jr. to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton, California. This is where the doctors diagnose illnesses Abram Jr. Lemierre's syndrome a rare but potentially lethal.
Lemierre's syndrome was first discovered by Andre Lemierre in 1936 after conducting a case study of 20 patients, 18 of which died of this disease from bacterial infection in the throat. The infection is caused by Fusobacteria necrophorum which accumulate in the back of the throat, but for reasons not clear the bacteria rapidly multiply and spread to other areas in the body.
This disease had disappeared for the emergence of antibiotic. But then come back several decades and is known as the forgotten disease. In the case of Abram Jr., who gathered these bacteria move into the blood stream toward the legs and brain. This is what causes swelling in both regions.
Dr. Robert and the team gave him antibiotics and a small section of vein bypass where the bacteria got together and forming blood clots. This procedure is intended to stop the movement of infection to other organs.
In addition, other surgeons also perform surgery to relieve swelling in his brain. Due to this condition Abram Jr. had to be in ICU with many pains. Further tests still needed to see whether antibiotics given have worked or not.
But Dr Holtrof Kent, founder of Holtrof Medical Group reveal that a person afflicted by a sore throat do not have to panic to the possibility of Lemierre's syndrome affected.
"It took several weeks to several months to make this infection occurred. But it must be observed if exposed to recognize the symptoms of sore throat is persistent or associated with systems such as headache and swelling in the body that would not go away," he said.
This disease is not contagious, but his attack was faster than cancer. The symptoms are very similar to the flu and sore throats, as well as the disease attacks different organs in each case.
Key in order to survive with this disease is to recognize quickly and immediately taking antibiotics that are responsive to these bacteria and dry the swelling. With appropriate therapy, the mortality rate is only about 4-12 percent.

World Cup 2010, accused No Sensitive Health Issues
Johannesburg, the World Cup final round has not yet begun, FIFA has scored 'own goal'. The Football League is supposed to campaign for an active lifestyle just hook the sponsor of soft drinks, beer and fast food.
Quoted from the BBC, Wednesday (02/06/2010), this criticism related to the existence of three sponsors sticking out of World Cup 2010 which was considered unhealthy. Sponsors are referred to the McDonald's (fast food), Coca Cola (soft drinks) and Budweiser (beer).
Inside the stadium, the three companies that are presenting advertisements on each side of the field and on the digital scoreboard. Believed the ad could affect millions of life-style football spectators in over 200 countries, while broadcast live on television.
"In an effort to overcome obesity in children, there is no doubt that football can provide a strong influence due to be watched by nearly all societies," said Teresa Nighttingale, chairman of The World Cancer Research Fund.
"Certainly a lot of small children inspired by such figures Rooney and Messi, the same as their parents and grandparents who never emulate Maradona or Pele. Unfortunately, this show is sponsored by products that are not healthy," Teresa remorse.
For the moment it is not possible to cancel the sponsorship. But according to Teresa, FIFA still could make a breakthrough by announcing that in future the organization will not accept sponsorship of such products.
He also called on parents to not be influenced by marketing strategies that are not healthy. What can be done by parents is to drive their children to continue to consume vegetables and fruits.
Meanwhile, communications director of the Advertising Association, Ian Barber argued that advertising of such products will affect the diet of children. He impact is very minimal belief, not as bad as imaginable.
"However, without sponsorship we would not have a lot of events like the World Cup can inspire young people," countered Ian.
"If we seriously want to improve the health of children, we need more efforts to direct the child's lifestyle. It's not just rhetoric that sometimes are not supported by strong evidence," he added.
Quoted from the BBC, Wednesday (02/06/2010), this criticism related to the existence of three sponsors sticking out of World Cup 2010 which was considered unhealthy. Sponsors are referred to the McDonald's (fast food), Coca Cola (soft drinks) and Budweiser (beer).
Inside the stadium, the three companies that are presenting advertisements on each side of the field and on the digital scoreboard. Believed the ad could affect millions of life-style football spectators in over 200 countries, while broadcast live on television.
"In an effort to overcome obesity in children, there is no doubt that football can provide a strong influence due to be watched by nearly all societies," said Teresa Nighttingale, chairman of The World Cancer Research Fund.
"Certainly a lot of small children inspired by such figures Rooney and Messi, the same as their parents and grandparents who never emulate Maradona or Pele. Unfortunately, this show is sponsored by products that are not healthy," Teresa remorse.
For the moment it is not possible to cancel the sponsorship. But according to Teresa, FIFA still could make a breakthrough by announcing that in future the organization will not accept sponsorship of such products.
He also called on parents to not be influenced by marketing strategies that are not healthy. What can be done by parents is to drive their children to continue to consume vegetables and fruits.

Apparently migraine is Derivatives Nerve Disease
Cambridge, people first learned about migraine from the time of 1500 BC (BCE). The headaches are commonly experienced, but few understand it. And the fact that migraine is a disease carried since birth and is derived from the parent. Although migraine is not life threatening, but the headaches this is a disease classified as severe and many people do not know.
"In fact, migraine is a complex neurological disease that affects the central nervous system and is accompanied by physical symptoms and emotional," said Dr. Carolyn Bernstein, neurologists from Cambridge Health Alliance-Cambridge Campus, as reported from Dailymail, Friday (14/05/2010) .
Dr. Bernstein himself attracted to specialize neurology because it is also often experienced a migraine since the age of 20 years. According to him, not many people know about the causes of migraine disease and how to overcome them. So that specialization is quite attractive.
And in his book entitled 'The Migraine Brain', Dr. Bernstein explains that migraine is caused by brain abnormalities. Migraine is not a result of mental health problems or signs of hypochondria (health phobia or worry too much with a serious illness), or patient error. Migraine is a chronic neurological disorder from birth, and in many cases the disease is inherited from both parents.
Migraine is derived from the mother
The surprise was one of five women and one of 20 men in the UK has been suffering from migraine. Migraine is the ninth leading cause of disability in the world, and is more common than diabetes or asthma. Research shows that between 70 to 80 percent suffer from migraines have a family history of migraine also suffered, especially of maternal factors.
Because this disease is caused by a genetic condition, then there is no drug that can actually cure the disease. Existing medications can only reduce and minimize the symptoms caused. According to Dr. Bernstein, who has no experience or history of migraine an exact match. This can lead to very difficult to compare the trigger migraines experienced by a person to another.
There is a myth that says that migraine sufferers should avoid chocolate and foods with MSG. This is not entirely correct. For some people this might be kind of food can be a migraine trigger, but this did not apply for all people who suffer from migraine.
Every person has different triggers. Migraine triggers may be from red wine, weather changes, lack of sleep or the stinging smell of perfume. The trigger is not only disrupt the brain, but also interferes with the work, because it triggers biochemical chain reactions that can cause some symptoms.
Unlike a regular headache, migraine also involves an entirely different experience and almost always include some reactions and physical symptoms.
85 percent of migraine patients experience continuous throbbing head, the pain is felt with every beat of heart, like a knife who stabbed repeatedly in the head. For years, doctors thought that migraine is caused by vasodilation, ie widening of blood vessels in the brain and suppress the structure-sensitive to pain.
True, for many patients with migraine, headache is one of the symptoms that accompany migraine. But the migraine itself almost never just a pain in the head, there are other symptoms that accompany it.
Migraine symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, sensitivity to light or sound, numbness or odd sensations in the skin, changes in vision, hunger, speech slurred, his eyes red and excessive crying. These symptoms are very diverse and complex.

2.5 Million 'Buggy' Push Cart Children Withdrawn
Streetsboro, Ohio Company toys, Step 2 attract millions of products Buggy or stroller for the kids. Design error which allows the toy-like cars that slid out of control.Two products made in Step 2 buggy ie Push Around and Ride Whisper has a long handle on the back, so parents can push it while the streets. However, the locking pin is reportedly easy to loose grip so that the buggy could slide itself.
Quoted from Fox News, Friday (05/14/2010), Step 2 has received at least 28 reports of accidents that release of the handle. Two of them have caused serious injuries that need medical care.
Approximately 2.5 million drawn buggy is a product marketed since August 1999 until March 2010. While products with new designs have been equipped bolt handle and cover of black plastic or white, did not withdraw. In March 2010, one million baby slings manufactured by Infantio also withdrawn from circulation. Incidentally, Infantio Step 2 is a subsidiary based in San Diego.
Why are athletes before match prohibited from engaging in sex?
Canada, Behind the euphoria there was a sporting event that always emphasized abstinence coach on his athletes, which should not have sexual relations before the game. Should this?
The reason the coach told his athletes before the games held fast sex for fear of disturbing the concentration exercises.
Athletes have long given the theory that sex before a game or competition tantamount to drain much energy. Muhammad Ali, for instance, he reportedly will not have sex for six weeks before the bout.
But scientists say there is no physiological evidence shows that sex before competition is bad. In fact, some studies suggest that sex pre-exercise really can help athletes by increasing the amount of testosterone.
However, clearly not yet known whether there are psychological effects of sex of an athlete's performance. Some scientists suggest that fasting sex can help some athletes to concentrate better.
Physiological effects
"There are two things which is the reason why sex before competition could affect performance," said Ian Shrier, a sports medicine specialist at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, as reported from NationalGeographic, Wednesday (02/06/2010).
First is they can make an athlete tired and weak the next day but this reason is not proven. And secondly, sex can affect the mind and psychological conditions. For this reason has not been tested.
In 2000, Shrier published an editorial titled "Does Sex the Night Before Competition Decrease Performance?" published in the Clinical Journal of Sports Medicine.
"The old myth that states that the athlete refused to have sex before a big game may have originated from the theory of sexual frustration," Shrier wrote in his editorial.
Abstinence tradition is particularly true in sports that require strength, such as boxing and football, in which the force of aggression (attack) is considered as a valuable trait. Some people believe that ejaculation in men can 'suck' testosterone, the hormone of sexual desire and aggressiveness of the body.
"This is an opinion that is completely false," nimble Emmanuele A. Jannini, professor of endocrinology from the University of L'Aquila in Italy, who has studied sex effects on athletic performance.
Jannini found that sex actually stimulate the production of testosterone, thus increasing the athlete to perform aggression (attacks).
The scientists rejected the idea that sex the night before the competition has a tiring effect on the athlete or they can weaken the muscles of athletes.
"Actual sexual activity can also help overcome muscle pain or sport injuries in women," said Barry Komisaruk, a psychology professor at Rutgers University in Newark, New Jersey.
His study found that sexual stimulation in women produces a strong effect of blocking pain. Effect, can take up to a day for chronic pain such as muscle pain. Komisaruk also found that stimulation of the vagina has a strong effect on muscle tension in the leg.
Psychological effects
Far less is known about the psychological effects of sex on athletic performance. Some experts said the coach supports the theory of 'fasting sex' just because they want to make sure athletes get enough sleep before a big game.
The psychologists have shown there is an optimal level of alertness and anxiety are needed to produce the best performance. Too anxious or aggression can lead to poor performance.
"If athletes are too anxious and restless the night before competition, then sex could make it more relaxing," Shrier wrote in his studies.
But if the athlete is feeling relaxed and not interested in sex the night before a big competition, so sleep is the best choice.

The Final Meningitis Vaccine Materials Free Pig Content
The use of meningitis vaccine is still a dilemma for people who want to perform hajj. But the Health Advisory Council and syara (MPKS) ensure that the final ingredient in the polysaccharide meningitis vaccine does not contain pork.
"The materials used to make the vaccine are polysaccharides. Based on the study we did, it was found that the end result is a polysaccharide did not contain anything," said Dr. H. Achmad Sanusi, SpPD, chairman MPKS in the event a press briefing about the WHA and vaccine preparation health department meningitis in the building, Jakarta, Friday (05/14/2010).
MPKS is a council that will study about various problems that might be a little sensitive when viewed from a religion. Some things that are reviewed by MPKS tube babies, artificial insemination, vasectomy, tubectomy, abortion, the polio vaccine and meningitis vaccine.
"We examine the scientific system of how the process from beginning to end product obtained, for meningitis vaccine was taken only a polysaccharide," said Dr Sanusi.
Does that mean halal meningitis vaccine? Responding, Dr Sanusi simply said, "Regarding the final decision is entirely up to the MUI fatwa or not kosher."
Director General of Disease Control and Environmental Health (P2PL) health ministry Prof. Tjandra Yoga Aditama, SPP (K), MARS, DTM & H, DTCE tells the vaccine meningitis used Indonesia for prospective pilgrims with vaccine meningitis used to other countries such as Malaysia and also Saudi Arabia.
"Meningitis can be caused by himself why viruses or bacteria. Candidates should be given to pilgrims meningitis vaccine for fear of meningitis disease transmission from pilgrims of other countries including the meningitis belt that is still endemic in South African countries," said Minister of Health Dr Endang Rahayu Sedyaningsih, MPH, Dr.PH.
This year is estimated there are about 210 thousand pilgrims, because it was the availability of this vaccine is very important. Currently kemenkes already in the process of distribution of vaccines and are just waiting for it.
"Now there are two types of meningitis vaccine that exists in Indonesia and there is one more new sign up. But about halal or not wait for a decision from the MUI and is still in the process," said Prof. Tjandra.

Why Should People Fake Illness?
None of the people in this world who want to have a serious disease like cancer. But in fact there are certain people who pretend to be sick. In some cases inside and outside the country, people use sick excuse for avoiding a legal case in court or because the reasons for wanting to get sympathy and material.
What is the background pretending someone very sick?
As reported by LiveScience, Saturday (15/05/2010) in the year 2008, a woman named Dina Leone from Baltimore to give a surprising news for families and friends. He claimed to have been diagnosed with stomach cancer.
This 37-year-old mother wrote a note and its progress in a blog and Facebook. Thus he gained the support and assistance to help pay the maintenance money and fulfill a dying wish.
But everything is very tragic and a sham. Police conduct an investigation and found that hospitals that visited Leone does not have the medical records about him.
Leone has finally admitted that he only pretended sick for three years, so he was indicted on charges of theft and conspiracy.
Why do people have to lie and pretend to be sick?
The main motivation is usually a person admitted malingering is to gain sympathy, so he became the center of the attention, all desires can be realized and he was getting attention from old friends or family. But sometimes the falsehood was based on a desire to get a lot of money.
One case in point is a woman from Boston who claimed that Christian Cloughety cancer in friends and family. Sympathy for the people who held a fundraiser on his behalf and get the money of about U.S. $ 50,000. But it was reported that he used the money to buy new cars and breast implants.
But there are some people who actually have the disease or disorder, in this case is not cancer but a mental illness known to man-made disturbances (factitious disorder).
People with this disorder to pretend to have a disease (usually in the terminal one) and often try hard to maintain such a joke.
A person feels that he has a disease, but in some cases involving the most tragic fact of her children.
One type of artificial disturbance is Munchausen syndrome, which involves people such as children or others who suffer from a disease that made him have to take care of these sick people.
Examples in the year 2003, there were parents of seven year old girl named Hannah Milbrandt told friends and family that her daughter had cancer.
The mother, Teresa Milbrandt did everything to make him look sick. She shaved her head to mimic the side effects of chemotherapy, her daughter put a protective mask because her immune system was considered to be disturbed and drugged his daughter with sleeping pills to make her feel dizzy.
Even worse was that he said it will not look past his teenage daughter and convinced her son will actually die. Until finally he provided aid donations about $ 10,000 for his family in April and December. But it is known that the girl was not hurt.
Although Munchausen syndrome is a rare disorder, but this is hardly unique. Two years before a women from Indiana collects more than U.S. $ 6000 by saying that her daughter was dying of leukemia affected.
Artificial disturbance was likely more common than people realize. Some cases are found as a joke and eventually just a sham. But there are also cases of people tend to suddenly start getting better for fear of arousing suspicion action.
Malingering disorders can menimbukan implications for people who actually have cancer or other diseases, as this could lead to mistrust of people towards the victim's real or illness.

DNA Test Equipment Cancel For Free Sale
New York, DNA or Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid is a nucleic acid that stores all information about genetics. DNA can determine your hair type, skin color and specific qualities of human beings.
So do not be surprised if people are so intrigued with the DNA because they want to know the properties of the gene itself. But unfortunately the proposed sale of a free DNA test was not granted by the drug regulatory authority adan U.S. Food Administration (FDA).
After receiving opposition from the FDA, pharmaceutical company marketing tool Walgreens canceled personal DNA test. Controversial product has not yet been approved by the FDA to use freely.
Quoted from Reuters, Friday (05/14/2010), Walgreens claims that products marketed with Pathway Genomics can help consumers obtain genetic information. This is useful for predicting the health condition based on the history of descent.
Pathway-party calls at least 70 diseases that can be predicted using these tools, including diabetes, blindness, and genetic kelaianan cystic fibrosis. Health conditions that can be derived can also be predicted for example obesity.
In one set of tools that will be marketed with a price of 20-30 dollars is (approximately USD 180-270 thousand), there is an envelope for saliva sample manaruh. Samples can be sent to the laboratory Pathways, then consumers have to pay 79-249 dollars to get a complete analysis.
Related to the lack of permission from the FDA, Pathway argued that this tool is not intended for medical use and care so it does not require a permit from the FDA. But this argument was rebutted by the FDA.
In a statement sent by mail to several media including Reuters, the FDA said emphatically tool must meet a specific regulation. The letter was written by James Woods, one of the officials at the FDA. Since the beginning of this equipment actually has sparked controversy. Among doctors and experts consider genetic DNA testing is a complex process, and will trigger the panic and confusion in case of errors.

Germs Got Ocean Islands
Norfolk - ever imagine, there are also islands in the ocean for the germs? The island had become an ideal place for germs to breed and spread waterborne diseases (acquired and transmitted in water).
The island is actually a "marine snow, or marine snow formed from the remnants of dead organisms. Named because of its form is the sea of snow-white flakes floating in sea water.
Dead animals and dead vegetation around the coast will rot and decompose, and the remainder in the form of floating marine snow before finally settles with sand and other objects. Sometimes, the snow became food for marine fish and shellfish in the ocean.
Dikutiip from LiveScience, Friday (5/14/2010), the researchers found that marine snow deposition not only become fish food. For germs such as viruses and bacteria, sediment marine snow is like a friendly island for shelter.
When in sea water, germs must fight against various threats such as sunlight, salinity or high salinity, and predators. Sheltered between marine snow deposition makes germs more able to survive and even breed.
"The remains of decomposition of micro-organisms providing a favorable climate for the germs. If not controlled, marine snow can be a growth medium pathogenic germs," said Fred Dobbs from Old Dominion University who participated in the study.
In the snow-sea sediments, these germs metabolism increases (which means to be more active). Types of germs in place also more diverse than those observed in water samples.
This reinforces the conclusion that marine snow deposition is a good shelter for the bacteria. The researchers also found several types of pathogens capable of breeding at the site.
Nevertheless, researchers trouble seeing possibility of transmission of pathogenic germs to humans. The nature of marine snow drifting though has formed can complicate sediment sampling.
According to the researchers, there are few things more likely to be further investigated. For example, how long germs could thrive, and the relationship between the size of marine snow deposition with how various types of germs that live in it.
The research was funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF)-National Institutes of Health (NIH) Ecology of Infectious Diseases (EID). The results were published in the journal Aquatic Microbial Ecology edition of May 4, 2010.
