Unique Health

Unique Health

Judging from the title of my post, this time I will talk about health. all of you must already know what the importance of health for ourselves, health is very important to us, therefore we should be able to maintain the health of ourselves think not to get sick.

This time I will give some tips to maintain the health of ourselves. Because in my previous postings often discuss things that are unique and strange, therefore, I will provide a unique and unusual tips for maintaining our health.

Maybe it’s just tips that funny, but this might be very influential and beneficial to themselves think, if done right. I will not talk at length again, you should direct it at those tips.

1. After analyzing more than 51 public bathrooms, the experts found that the first toilet or a toilet that is closest to the entrance of the bathroom is a toilet that has the lowest bacteria levels. This is because people tend to choose the most tip of toilets for their privacy. From now on, choose a toilet near the entrance because it is much cleaner.

2. If you are claustrophobic or people with phobias of small room, go to the supermarket or the nearest fruit market. Sniff of green apples can help relieve shortness of breath and panic.

3. Reduce the use of antibacterial soap. American Medical Association (AMA) claim that antibacterial soaps have no scientific evidence that soap was stronger against bacteria than regular soap. Even the AMA says that this soap can make the germs and bacteria become stronger and resistant to killer germs. Moreover, almost more than 50 percent of the soaps are sold already contain antimicrobial in it.

Disease

Disease
Weirdest Disease
In the world of health, the so-called disease is an abnormal state of body or mind that causes discomfort, dysfunction or difficulty to the people it affects.



To cure the disease, the common people to consult with a physician or someone more expert in that field.
this time “be Unique” will discuss about health and diseases, especially the most bizarre world.

Often, a person’s confusion in treating the disease, because the disease is somewhat strange and unnatural.
maybe this information is already common and many people already know, but I will give this info again as a reference and as information for people who might not know.

Please click here to find out some of the disease, which we must be cautious.

Elephantiasis

1.Elephantiasis
Disease Lymphatic filariasis or elephantiasis can be instantly recognizable from the shape of the foot or arm with an enlarged.

The disease is caused by parasitic worms, including Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi and Brugia timori, all transmitted by mosquitoes.


This disease has struck more than 120 million people in the world. When an infected female mosquito bites a person, the larvae, called microfilariae spread in the bloodstream, the larvae can live for many years.



the effects of this disease often only comes after a year are infected.

Prevention.
Prevention can be done by:
A. Trying to avoid the bite of infectious mosquitoes.
B. Clean water plants in the marsh which is where the brood of mosquitoes, stockpiling, drying or draining standing water as a mosquito brood.
C. Clean up the bushes around the house.

Mode of transmission of disease elephantiasis
The disease is transmitted by mosquitoes which suck the blood of someone who had contracted earlier. Infected blood and contain larvae and would be transmitted to others when an infected mosquito bite or suck the blood of the person.
Unlike malaria and dengue fever, filariasis can be transmitted by 23 species / species of the genus Anopheles mosquito, Culex, Mansonia, Aedes and Armigeres. Because of this, filariasis can spread very quickly.
In Indonesia the disease elephantiasis widespread throughout the province. Based on the results of the last survey in 2000 recorded 1553 in 647 rural health centers and 26 provinces as the location of endemic, with a number of chronic cases, there were 6233 people.

Clinical Symptoms
Acute symptoms of filariasis or elephantiasis are:
Fever over and over again for 3-5 days, fever may be lost when a break and came back after working hard.
Swollen lymph nodes (no injuries) groin area, armpits (lymphadenitis), which looks red, hot and sore.
Tract inflammation of lymph nodes that were hot and the pain radiating from the base of the foot or base of the arm towards the end (retrograde lymphangitis)
Filarial abscess due to frequent suffering from swollen lymph nodes, may rupture and ooze pus and blood.
Enlargement of the legs, arms, breasts, testicles (elephantiasis skroti)


Diagosis

• Prepaten period: 8-16 months.
• The main complaint / principal
• Acute:
• Selfagia
• Anorexia
• Shiver
• 3-5 days of fever, irregular intervals.
• Chronic:
• Growing extremity (elephantiasis).
• Complication
• Hydrocele.
  Kiluri
  Kiloasites.
• Management / treatment
• General Therapy

Break

• Bed rest in acute circumstances.

• Elastic bandage to hold edema, elephantiasis
• Fabric backing for orchitis and epididymitis.
• Diet
• Medical
• Drugs First

1. Diethylcar bamazine (DEC), the drug of choice. Dose of 3 × 2 mg / day, starting a small dose and then increased 3 × 3 mg for 21 days.
2. DEC for mass therapy: 100 (1 tablet) per week uyntuk age> 10 years for 40 weeks to age> 2-9 years 50 mg (½ tablet)
3. Ivermectin. A single dose of 200 / kg followed by 400, still to DEC.
4. Antimicrobial when there is secondary infection. Alternative Medicines Surgery in certain cases.

Progeria

 Progeria
The most bizarre disease and other terrible is Progeria, because almost everyone who suffers it can not live a long time.




Progeria is caused by a small error in the genetic code of the child caused by mutations (changes) of genes, but it has to destroy and transform lives.

Progeria is derived from the Greek word geras meaning old age. So the patient is experiencing premature aging with speeds ranging from 4-7 times the normal aging process. Concrete example, if the children who have progeria age 10, then the appearance will look like 40-70 years old! That is, all the boy’s organs, including respiratory organs, heart, and joints are experiencing vulnerability.

The average child born with this disease will die at the age of 13, because their bodies are aging more quickly such as baldness, heart disease, weakened bones and arthritis.

Fortunately, this disease is very rare, only about 48 people who develop the disease worldwide, but there is a family of 5 children who all have this disease.

Werewolf Syndrome

 Werewolf Syndrome
A strange disease that attacks the human face, almost the entire face covered by fur, there are many people who call this disease as a disease of wolf fur.

When the hair begins to grow at face 2-year-old boy named Abys DeJesus, doctors immediately recognize the symptoms as Human Werewolf Syndrome.




The disease is called werewolf syndrome because people with this disease throughout his body will grow hair like werewolves (of course without the sharp teeth and claws).

Medical world know with this disease syndrome or Hypertrichosis Werewolf. Because of the rarity, the syndrome is caused by a chromosomal mutation that only affects less than 100 people in the world.

The researchers traced the location of the mutation changes experienced by people with this syndrome in Mexico on the X chromosome (one of two chromosomes in the human gene).

a little explanation about the disease I have ever read from the internet:
Professor Xue Zhang, an expert in genetics from the Peking Union Medical College, also has been testing a person with this disease and found that genetic abnormalities on chromosome X.

Genetic abnormality was found on chromosome X also belongs to sufferers who are in Mexico. Only, the gene abnormality found in people is different in China.
However, the extra DNA on their X chromosome that may have contributed to trigger the active genes in the surrounding hair grower.

Pragna Patel, scientists from the University of Southern California estimates that the culprit is a gene abnormality of this gene called SOX3, which is known to be responsible for hair growth.

“In fact, additional sequences are inserted (on the X chromosome), can trigger hair growth,” Patel said the research findings have been published in American Journal of Human Genetics.
However, Patel added, it can also be used for the study after receiving treatment against the disease baldness or hirsutism (excess hair growth).

Skin Disorder

Skin Disorder (Blue Skin Disorder)

Other rare diseases are Blue Skin Disorder, a disorder of the skin disease.

The disease is called Blue Skin Disorder because the sufferer blue skin, or almost purple.


Actually this disease is not a serious disease, who suffer from this disease can live for 80 years,

which became curious of this disease is almost all parts of the skin is blue.

Someone mentioned that the disease is caused Blue Skin Disorder from family or ancestry. so who has the disease, most likely the offspring will have the disease.

Like a big family who lived in the hills around Troublesome Creek in Kentucky until the 1960s. they dubbed the Blue Fugates.

I did not yet know the cause of such skin disorders. whether from errors skin color pigment? or from genetic errors? if anyone knows, please explain.
