2050, Number of Senile People Up Triple

2050, Number of Senile People | World Health Organization (WHO) estimates, the number of people with dementia or dementia throughout the world will be tripled by 2050. WHO says, as many as 35.6 million people worldwide are currently living with dementia.

The UN health agency says, that number will double to 65.7 million in 2030 and reached 115.4 million in 2050. This report published by WHO in Dementia: public health priority.

WHO said the share of cases of dementia in poor countries and the middle will increase to 70 percent in 2050, given the growing elderly population.
Dementia is caused by various diseases of the brain that affects memory, thinking, behavior and ability to perform daily activities.

"We need to improve our ability to detect early dementia, and provide medical care and necessary social," said Oleg Chestnov, assistant director-general of noncommunicable diseases and mental health from the WHO.

"Much can be done to reduce burden of patients with dementia. But unfortunately, many health workers are not adequately trained to recognize symptoms of dementia," he added.

WHO noted that only eight countries worldwide that have a national program to cope with dementia. In fact, dementia is a public health priority.

WHO is also highlighting still a lack of information and understanding about dementia, as well as the strong stigma sometimes makes patients delay seeking medical assistance.

"The low public understanding of dementia and the stigma must be overcome," said Marc Wortmann, Executive Director of Alzheimer's Disease International.

Meanwhile, Shekhar Saxena, head of WHO's mental health department revealed that the prevalence of dementia will explode in this century, along with the length of one's life expectancy.

"Those aged over 65 years, 1 in 8 of them will have dementia. While those aged over 85 years one of 2.5 people will develop dementia," said Saxena.

One More Proof, Sleep Deprivation Trigger Diabetes?

One More Proof, Sleep Deprivation Trigger Diabetes? | A recent research suggesting a link between lack of sleep and the risk of diabetes. In their research, scientists from the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston found, inconsistent sleep schedule or sleep deprivation can increase the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes.

In his study, researchers monitored 21 healthy people, who all live in a sleep laboratory for nearly six weeks, in which the cycles of sleep, diet and activity are all controlled by researcher.

The findings showed that participants who are only allowed to sleep about six hours a night and experienced a shift in the cycle sleep/wake has a blood sugar level is higher and tends to slow down the metabolic process.

"The level of glucose that higher for long periods of time on some of the participants could be increased to pre-diabetes," said the researcher. These findings were published on 11 April 2012 in the journal Science Translational Medicine.

Sleep and blood sugar

In the study, researchers conducted blood tests to measure levels of several hormones, including insulin, cortisol (stress related), and leptin and ghrelin (which relate to regulate appetite).

They found that disrupted sleep schedules cause a decrease in 32 percent of the amount of insulin released in the body after eating. Insulin is a key hormone in the regulation of blood sugar.

"The decline in insulin levels is one explanation of how the disruption or lack of sleep can cause diabetes," said Lisa Rafalson, a professor of pediatrics and family medicine at the University at Buffalo.

Rafalson revealed an increase in stress hormones that kept awake the body can cause hormonal imbalances. "Insulin can not perform their duties efficiently, so you end up getting the remaining excess glucose in the bloodstream," he said.

While the latest findings, the researchers did not notice any changes in hormone levels gheriln (which increases appetite) on the sleep-deprived participants. Whereas some previous studies showed that sleep deprivation can lead to higher levels of the hormone ghrelin and leptin are lower.

Related to these findings, Fonseca said, researchers need to find out if there is a solution to prevent the increased risk of diabetes in addition to sleep more.

"The reality is that many people who sleep less because they work. We need to identify if there is anything else they can do to fix it," he said.

Beware, Dental X-rays Can Trigger Brain Tumor

Dental X-rays Can Trigger Brain Tumor | For those of you who frequent dental check using x-ray, should be wary. A recent study in the United States, published on 10 April 2012 in 'journal Cancer' indicates, they often undergo X-rays of the teeth have a greater risk of tumors in the head commonly called a meningioma cancer.

These tumors grow on the inner lining of the skull. Most growing slowly, but they can cause problems and can even be deadly, if it begins to put pressure on the brain.

In his study, scholars from Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut, and Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, Mass., make the observation of two methods of radiation (x-ray) is called a "bitewing" and Panorex.

The research involved nearly 3,000 adults aged 20-79 years, about half (1433 people) among those diagnosed with tomor. Researchers found that patients often undergo radiation x-ray or dental X-rays in the area associated with a higher risk of developing cancer.

Specifically, patients who have had a Panorex checks once a year or more, have a risk 2.7 to 3 times greater meningoma cancer, depending on age, rather than people who have never done this x-ray. While participants who had X-rays "bitewing" at least annually, the risk is 1.4 to 1.9 times greater with meningioma cancer.

Meningioma is a tumor of the membranes that cover the brain, which is more common in women than men, especially in the age of 50-60 years. But, most meningiomas are benign.

Study author Dr. Elizabeth Claus, said although the patients with dental problems currently getting a lower radiation exposure than in the past, but the researchers asked the dentist and patient to consider when and why it is necessary X-rays.

"I hope this research will help to raise awareness about the optimal use of dental x-rays," he said.

Guidelines from American Dental Association says, kids can get a one-time exposure every 1 or 2 years; for teenagers once in the period from 1.5 to 3 years, while adults can get the exposure once in three years 2-3.

Meanwhile, Michael Schulder, vice chairman of the department of neurosurgery of Cushing Neuroscience Institute, is not surprised by these findings.

"The possibility of tumor in patients undergoing dental radiation is low. However, dentists and patients should consider again that too much radiation each year, unless there are symptoms in dental patients who really need radiation," he concluded.

Ejaculation In Women

Ejaculation In Women


Question: Ejaculation In Women:

Sir, I want to ask about orgasm problems. Is it true that when a woman reaches orgasm is always characterized by a discharge?

In his research, experts from the University of Washington gave the rats in the laboratory with the type of food which they call "high-fat diet of the American people". Only three days later, the rats are getting greedy and increase calorie intake until doubled.

Further examination showed that these mice also experience inflammation or inflammation of hypothalamus, the brain consists of nerve cells that control body weight. Inflammation was stopped within a few days, but then "relapsed" after four weeks later.

Dr. Joshua Thaler, expert and researcher of Diabetes and Obesity Center of Excellence at the University of Washington in Seattle, said the experts also detect the presence of a brain injury recovery response called gliosis.

"Gliosis considered together with the recovery of injuries to the brain, and specifically looks at the conditions of nerve injury, such as stroke and multiple sclerosis. We speculate that gliosis that we might see as a protective response that failed. We also detected a significant damage and loss of cell nerve cells are important in controlling weight, "said Thaler, who presented his research at the annual meeting of The Endocrine Society's for-93 in Boston.

He added that possibility of injury in rat brain is a consequence of excessive consumption of junk food and this fact gives an explanation of why losing weight becomes very difficult for most of them are obese.
