Osteoporosis threatens Asia

2012-02-11T04:31:00.000-08:00

Osteoporosis in the future will be one serious illness among the population of Asia. In 2050 an estimated 50 percent of cases of osteoporosis in the world will occur in Asia and economic and social burden is quite high for the community and government.

Prediction is quite "awful" was revealed from the results of the audit International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) titled "The Asian Audit Epidemiology, Costs and Burden Osteoporosis in Asia 2009". Launch of audit data about osteoporosis Asia for the first time performed in osteoporosis care community of the world conference in Beijing on Tuesday (22/9).

From the data collected from 14 countries in Asia shows that the incidence of hip fractures increased 2-3 fold in 30 years. The increase was primarily due to vitamin D and calcium intake is still low consumption per person in each country.

Amrish Mithal, IOF Asian Audit Coordinator, said that, despite the threat of osteoporosis is generally higher in Asia, the disease was not recognized and treated as a disease that results in the social economic burden that continues to increase. With the increase of elderly people in Asia, as much as 50 percent of cases that resulted in fractures of disability and death will occur in Asia by 2050.

Mark Wilson, Regional Managing Director Asia-Middle East Fonterra, explain, what is reported by the IOF is almost in line with the results of Anlene bone health. A vigorous bone health testing done Anlene in every country in Asia found that approximately 40 percent of the examined risk of developing osteoporosis.

"From the investigation it was also found the intake of vitamin C to be a problem. Similarly, intake of calcium. Population in Asia only meet 50 percent of the required bone mineral intake each day. Based on WHO recommendations, the calcium intake of 1000-1300 mg / day, but the average in Asia is only 450 mg / day, "said Mark.

Judy Stenmark of the IOF said the data was expected to concern by the government, health practitioners and the general public. "There must be immediate action to prevent the increasing incidence of fractures. There are millions of people who will suffer serious if left untreated. Was particularly heavy burden for people in rural areas because people are often treated conservatively, only treated at home, without the benefit of the surgery and recovery, "said Judy.

Evidence of an increase in osteoporosis was seen in Hong Kong. In the past four decades, patients with hip fractures increased by 300 percent. In Singapore increased by 500 percent.

In Japan the number of patients with bone fractures among people aged 75 years has increased dramatically in the last 12 years. China's 70 million population aged 50 and over suffer from osteoporosis, means there is 687 000 people every year.

Indonesia with 237 million inhabitants will have 71 million people over the age of 60 years in 2050. Of testing using a dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), an estimated 28.8 percent of men and 32.3 percent of the women had osteoporosis. Osteoporosis Society of Indonesia report, 41.8 percent of men and 90 percent of women have symptoms of osteoporosis, while 28.8 percent of men and 32.3 percent of women have osteoporosis.

Cyrus Cooper, Chair of the International Osteoporosis Foundation of Scientific Advisors, said the government should help people be able to meet the requirement of vitamin C and calcium, especially among wealthy people and in the countryside.

"Indeed in some countries there has been a positive signal. Osteoporosis has been recognized as a health issue that needs to be addressed seriously by setting up prevention and treatment programs. The Government is not aware of the threat of osteoporosis for the people in his country should be reassured by the prevalence of patient data and socio-economic burden arising, "said Cyrus.

The key prevention

In Asia and around the world an estimated 20 percent of the population die from hip fractures related to osteoporosis. A total of 40 percent can not walk alone and the rest need help from others during a year later.

The disease is actually very easy to prevent. Prevention programs to maintain bone health since a young age should be the focus for mass against osteoporosis.

The best time period to ensure bone health is his youth. By running a sports activity and good nutrition, adequate calcium, plus a morning sun exposure for adequate vitamin D production in the body, it can strengthen bones.

Joanne Todd, Fonterra Health Platform Manager, explained that the treatment of osteoporosis in Asia need to emphasize prevention. "Awareness of the threat of osteoporosis should be more incentive to be done by involving the community. Education also must be done so that people know how to prevent osteoporosis could be burden and high social economy, "says Joanne.

Osteoporosis in the world today, one of three women and one in five men aged 50 and over will suffer a fracture due to osteoporosis. Hormonal changes cause women more at risk than men.

Bone tissue loss generally begins after the age of 40 years. Speed rapidly replacing bone tissue than lose it. In the women's level of bone tissue loss increases after menopause, when estrogen production stops. Bone health since his youth greatly influenced the lifestyle factors such as nutrition and exercise. Calcium and vitamin D intake should be sufficient.

Patients should be desired to increase balance, such as program activities are individually tailored, so as to prevent falls. Special exercise program under the supervision of professionals can help release the pain after a fracture.

Being at the Office More than 11 Hours? Get ready Depression

2012-01-26T03:23:00.000-08:00

Be careful when you are in office for a long time. Your chance to experience depression have increased two-fold compared to those who work within normal working hours.

British researchers found that those who worked more than 11 hours per day or more than 55 hours per week had a higher risk. This risk was more often be experienced by women, young children, and those who have low incomes.

This study is based on research on about 2,000 civilian workers from various sectors, earnings and hours worked. They start working around the early 1990s and is aged between 35-55 years.

When their data revealed again six years later, scientists from two London universities and colleges in Finland found no association between overtime and depression. In fact, not only depression, other factors such as unhealthy lifestyles, marriages are doomed to fail, and the ever-growing work pressure also appear.

High Protein Diet? Beware Adverse Effects for Colon

2012-01-18T17:36:00.000-08:00

Studies show that diets high in protein and low in carbohydrates that do a lot of people to lose weight may be potentially harmful to the colon.

In a study of 17 obese men, British researchers found that diets high in protein, low carbohydrate creates certain changes in the colon that could potentially contribute risk of colon cancer over time.

But the researchers also revealed that the study only see short-term changes in certain compounds that are byproducts of metabolism, and not the actual disease risk. So that not enough studies show whether high-protein diets actually increase the risk of any colon diseases.

However, the researchers report in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the findings indicate protein diet increases a person's risk of exposure to intestinal cancer.

"Awareness is enhanced by our study is that the risk of colorectal cancer may be increased by a diet high in protein and low carbohydrate in the long run, especially fiber," said senior investigator Dr. Harry J. Flint, of Aberdeen University, told Reuters by email.

So what does it mean for people who want to lose weight? A diet relatively high in protein and low in carbohydrates has been shown to help lose weight. And, Flint and his colleagues pointed out, obesity is considered to be a risk factor for a number of panyakit, including colon cancer.

"People should not despair of losing weight, because it offers important health benefits," said Flint.

However, he added, they must ensure that any weight reduction projects which they follow must still meet the needs of fiber. People have to realize, that high protein intake for months to years may have an adverse effect in the colon.

The discovery was based on 17 obese men who each followed the three short-term diets: one-week menu is designed to maintain their weight, high protein diet for four weeks with a sufficient amount of carbohydrate, high-carbohydrate and low-carbohydrate diet for four weeks.

The first diet, which allowed 360 grams of carbohydrates per day, especially offering cereal, eggs and toast for breakfast: sandwich and salad for lunch, and chicken, fish or soy together dengna pasta for dinner.

Low-carbohydrate diet, which allows only 22 grams of carbohydrate per day, usually consisting of eggs breakfast and lunch and dinner of meat, poultry and fish, with vegetables and cheese.

Enough carbohydrate diet allows 181 carbs per day. Both high-protein diet containing less than 140 grams of protein each day.

At the end of each diet period, Flint's team analyzed fecal samples from the men to measure the levels of certain metabolic side effects.

On average, the study found, while the men in the high-protein diet, they have higher levels of compounds known as N-nitroso compounds, and certain other metabolites associated with cancer.

And when they were on a diet of high protein, low carbohydrate, they decrease the concentration of fibers derived from the compound is considered protective against cancer.

Flint said, people who want to lose weight, should make sure to get enough fiber in their diet.

Generally, experts recommend that adults get about 28 grams of fiber per day, although it is unclear whether it is enough for someone who undergo high-protein diet to reduce weight. Flint and his colleagues are currently studying the question.

The Yoga Therapy Interest

2011-12-20T23:32:00.001-08:00

Awareness of the community to implement a healthy lifestyle continues to rise. Although medical therapy is still the main choice in the treatment of disease, but that does not mean natural therapies that are left behind. Alternative healing methods like Yoga, for example, are more and more public interest in the big city.

"Passion or interest of people doing yoga increases. It also has something to do with lifestyle. Increase awareness of the health of non-conventional. Because conventional medical doctors generally only treat the physical," said Yudhi Widdyantoro, yoga instructor from Tirtayu Clinic on Friday, (06/04/2011).

Special in developed countries, interest in people to yoga continues to increase thanks to the news and discussion in the media. In addition, other factors play a role that is no less important is the growing number of public figures who participated in yoga.

According to Yudhi, in every movement yoga therapist effect was found useful to help healing. There are several important points every time someone doing Yoga. Among them will find rest for mind and thoughts. That, said Yudhi, such as the workings of the brain and mind, is more complementary with conventional non-medical activities.

Heightened public interest to yoga, according to Yudhi, at least can be seen clearly from the number of participants fosterage yoga classes every year. From observations done since 1991, the number of participants in the class can still be counted on the fingers. And if anything, mostly from the expatriate community.

But the increased interest in yoga actually began to look at the economic crisis that hit Indonesia in 1997-1998. "That is not impact only on the economy, but also have an impact on one's psyche. And then, start-health alternative health, where yoga is there, began to look for people," he concluded.

Want Plastic Surgery, First Reputation Checks Her doctor!

2011-12-20T18:54:00.000-08:00

The high number of cosmetic surgery patients in the world, particularly in Asia, making the surgeons appeared and then perform surgery without the proper standard. It is the duty of each patient to do the research first and know the reputation of doctors who chose well!

A good surgeon will not take shortcuts and will adhere to strict standards of care. Patients should be asked to conduct a medical examination or medical clearance from their personal physicians before surgeons agreed to perform the operation.

Conditions such as drug allergies, thyroid, hypertension, high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease increase the risk of complications during plastic surgery procedures. Certain lifestyle choices such as smoking and certain drugs can also increase the risk of complications so strict service standards and comprehensive must be complied with.

Each operation has a number of risks, which can not be eliminated, but the doctor in charge will do their best to minimize risk by following strictly the 'Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)' like a list of surgical safety, documenting the time-out correctly, not doing too many procedures in patients at the same time, a thorough examination precisely and much more.

A good starting point for patients to know whether the clinic or hospital can be trusted is to check the international accreditation hospital. The Joint Commission International (JCI), for example, is one example of an organization for it.

Patients can also learn more about the safety of surgical lists of the World Health Organization website. Such information will be useful for patients, especially during the consultation phase because this site can be viewed at the level of professionalism of the surgeon.

We know that everyone likes a good bargain. But remember, plastic surgery is not as easy to buy expensive jewelry. Although most patients are lucky and only faced minor problems such as difficulty expression postoperative cosmetic on the face and a small dent in the buttocks, some patients were forced to pay a terrible price, namely death. Therefore, it is important to check the background of the surgeon you choose!

Onion Bombay Abatement Cancer

2011-12-15T00:26:00.000-08:00

Onions have been known widely as a flavoring dishes. However, its usefulness was not just seasonings. Many of us do not know the actual ability of onions.

Known as a member of the Allium family, both garlic and onions contain sulfur components and rich in chromium, a mineral that helps the body's cells to respond to insulin properly, vitamin c (yes, there is vitamin c in onions!) And also flavonoid called quercitin .

In addition to blood sugar lowering effects of consuming onions, onions were also good for lowering levels of total cholesterol and increase good cholesterol in the body so it is not surprising that onions are good for your heart.

A study says eating onions on a regular basis as much as one or two times a week can reduce the risk of colon cancer. Why so? This is because onions contain a flavonoid called quercitin that research in animals has led to cessation of tumor growth and protect colon cells from the damage to cancer-causing ingredients. Even cooking with onions wear can cause a reduction in material carcinogens cause tumors.

Quercitin and curcumin, a type of phytonutrients, proven to shrink the size of the mass is considered as an early cancer in the human digestive tract. It has been published in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology.

Not only colon cancer, according to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, eating onions reduce the risk of oral and pharyngeal cancers by 84 percent, as much as 88 percent of esophageal cancer, colorectal cancer as much as 56 percent, 25 percent of breast cancer, ovarian cancer (ovarian ) 73 percent and as much as 71 percent of prostate cancer.

Research titled the Nurses Health Study on 66,940 women in the years 1984 to 2002 states that women who consume lots of kaempferol had a reduced risk of ovarian cancer. Kaempferol than many found in onions, as well as many on the broccoli and spinach. The study was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Lose Weight Without Diets

2011-12-02T23:41:00.000-08:00

Although there are many modes diet can help lose weight, but some of them are considered less effective because it makes you feel less hunger and food intake.

Running a slimming program does not mean that you should reduce your intake of fast food or even eat. If you want to slim the healthy way and not painful, try the following strategies:

1. More to chew

Studies show that the longer time you spend to chew, the less amount of calories you consume. Chewing longer prevent a person to overeat by giving the brain more time to receive signals from a full stomach. It is not only good for digestion, but also helps in limiting your portion sizes. Try to chew your food 35 to 50 times in the mouth.

2. Do not miss breakfast

Dense as any activity or work, you should squeeze in time for breakfast. Remember, your body is not the brain. The body needs to refuel several times each day. If you skip breakfast, you will feel so hungry at lunch time so you tend to overeat or may choose unhealthy foods. Skipping breakfast can slow down the metabolic processes in the body.

3. Concentrating on the food

How many times have you reprimanded by parents not to speak, read or watch TV while eating? Reprimand is not without reason. Because, when you eat while talking or watching television, your brain will not focus on the amount of food you consume and you are more likely to consume more food.

4. Do not cook too long

Cooking food for too long will kill or reduce the amount of nutrients. And when you're not getting enough nutrients, you will not feel satisfied and start looking for an unhealthy snack. To overcome this, try eating more raw foods such as salads, and avoid using the microwave.

5. Consumption of fruit before eating

Encouraged to eat fruit at least 30 minutes before a heavy meal. In this way, the fruit will be digested quickly. Eat fruit when stomach is empty will help detoxify and supply more energy to lose weight.

6. Little to eat, but often

Ideally, you should eat 5-6 times per day. Eat more often better to keep your metabolism to keep working at higher levels throughout the day. But, do not use this rule as an excuse to overeat.

7. Stop eating after 8 pm

Stop eating after 8 pm through is the best way to prevent the habit of snacking in the middle of the night. If you find it difficult to apply it, try drinking a cup of tea or brush your teeth after dinner, and switch your mind off of eating.

The Mandatory Known Problem Allergies Child

2011-11-25T23:48:00.000-08:00

Although the severity but rarely cause allergic disease that affects children can inhibit growth. Allergy precautions can be done by avoiding the allergen, make healthy lifestyle, and put on medication. Moreover, parents need to know about child allergies?

The following are five important things parents should know about allergy-related problems in children:

1. How do I know if my child has an allergic reaction to certain foods?

Food allergies in children occurs mainly on the type of dairy foods, wheat, eggs and nuts. Often the allergic reaction that appears in the form of hives, swelling of the lips, tongue and facial swelling after children eat foods.

Sometimes food reactions can also be characterized by eczema or mild asthma. The evaluation of certain food allergy is suspected as the trigger can provide the answer, so in the future can be avoided.

2. Are allergies hereditary?

Allergies, including the type of disease is lowered. If one parent is allergic, the child has allergies about 40 percent. If both parents are allergic, the risk of children getting allergies rose to 75 percent. But in some cases, there is no evidence to suggest that allergies are hereditary.

3. At what age does my child have an allergy test?

If you are allergic to foods like milk, eggs or nuts is suspected, testing can be done with skin or blood tests at any age. If asthma or fever occurs, skin testing can also be easily performed at any age. The need for testing depends on how large and severity of allergy symptoms.

4. What should I do if my baby is allergic to milk formula and I could not breastfeed?

Most cow's milk-based formula. There are a number of infant formulas are available for children who are allergic or intolerant to cow's milk products. These include soy-based milk, milk-based wheat, lactose-free milk, milk protein-based formulas and amino acids. But before giving the milk product, you should consult your physician first.

5. Can I give my child an antihistamine?

There are several antihistamines that are available (without prescription) that can be given to children. However, this drug should not be given to children younger or under age recommendation listed on the packaging of drugs. Instead, the parents continue to consult your physician first to determine whether the child's age is in conformity with the recommendations prescribed.

Hours. Sleeping Woman Longer than Men

2011-08-24T23:54:00.000-07:00

Gender differences were also influential in terms of quality sleep. Women sleep more soundly and wake up less at night compared to men. They are also more able to cope with the effects of sleep deprivation experienced.

Differences in sleep patterns may explain why women aged longer than men. As is known, a sleep disorder is suspected to be risk factors in chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. So says the researchers are now focusing on gender differences in sleep patterns.

"On average, women sleep longer than men and women are generally happier than men. Secondly it may be related," said Daniel J Buysse, a professor of psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh, USA.

Most people sleep with their spouse. However, research shows, sleeping with someone else causes us to be more frequent waking and sleep less soundly. Nevertheless, the majority of people say they feel better at night while sleeping on the side of a loved one.

"The sense of comfort and security of the couple will make sleep more soundly," said Wendy M Troxel, a researcher in the field of sleep and weddings.

In general, men and women have different body clocks. Men have a circadian period of 24 hours or 6-11 minutes longer than women. Although the difference appears small, the effect will double every day. Because it has a shorter circadian clock, women's sleep and wake up earlier.

In a study of 1506 people, 30 percent of women claimed to sleep eight hours or more on weekdays. Meanwhile, only 22 percent of men who answered the same thing.

Other studies have shown, the average woman slept 7 hours 43 minutes at night or 19 minutes longer than men. Women only took 9.3 minutes to fall asleep and the guy takes 23.2 minutes.

"Circadian clock that long makes him a little more difficult to close my eyes," said Jeanne F Duffy researchers from Harvard Medical School, Boston.

Although several research thrusts that fact, in fact quite a lot of women who complain about their sleep and said it was difficult close my eyes at night.

According Buysee, women with small children are often feel deprived of sleep, when actually slept longer compared with fathers. "Many feel less sleep because they often wake up," he said.

Research also shows, periods of slow wave sleep or sleep in the women more. This sleep period usually occurs in early and very important for memory formation. Therefore, women are considered better able to cope with the impact of sleep disorders.

Vitamin D Can Affect Mood

2011-08-21T23:25:00.000-07:00

About 50 percent of women were more prone to experience mood disorders than men. Mood or mood is the emotional state of an individual. When there is something that affects a prolonged emotional state, an individual may experience mental disorders such as depression or seasonal affective disorder (SAD).

According to some studies, mood disorders are also associated with a lower low intake of vitamin D in one's body.

One study that supports it is to research published "Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging" in 1999. In that study, volunteers with low levels of vitamin D supplements during the trial reported getting better grades on Hamilton Depression Rating Scale.

Other studies of vitamin D deficiency states in the elderly is a common problem, and the problems it can affect their mood.

In a study published in December 2006 in "The American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry" suggests, parents experience a lack of vitamin D experienced a worse mood. Not only that, their cognitive performance, too affected.

Another study, published "The Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism", involving 531 women and 423 men aged 65 years and older, found that men and women with low vitamin D levels have a higher risk for developing depressive mood.

Obesity

There is also the possibility of a correlation between depression and overweight patients and obese experience a lack of vitamin D. In a study in 2008, published "The Journal of Internal Medicine" found no relationship between symptoms of depression with low levels of serum 25-hydroxitamin D (a form of vitamin D in the body).

Treating patients by giving vitamin D supplements was found to reduce symptoms of depression. Improvement was seen in both groups, where the first group ate 20.000IU each week and the second group consumed 40.000IU each week.

There should not be carelessly

Although several studies support an association between vitamin D and improved mood. But use of vitamin D must not be indiscriminate. Because, if consumed in excessive amounts of this vitamin can cause a medical condition that could potentially become serious, or known as hypervitaminosis D.

This shows the level of toxicity of vitamin D in your body. Hypervitaminosis D causes the formation of calcium in the blood, thus causing some problems such as poor appetite, weakness, vomiting, ,,, constipation, and nausea.

Caution, Extreme Make Difficult Pregnancy Diet

2011-07-27T23:31:00.000-07:00

Almost in many countries, slim body is still one of sizes of female beauty. Even so, you should think a thousand times before doing a diet that is too harsh because of the health and chances of getting pregnant would be at stake.

Some time ago, Chantelle Houghton, who created the reality show Celebrity Big Brother, admitted that at the age of 27 years he has been convicted can not have children by doctors because of his habit on a strict diet.

"Because of an obsession with food and a strict diet when I suffered from bulimia, I lost the opportunity to have a baby naturally," he said in a magazine interview.

According to one study, an estimated 1.6 million people in Britain suffer from eating disorders, especially bulimia is. During his life, Princess Diana is one of the bulimics.

Those who suffer from bulimia usually can not resist his appetites, but always remove food diasupnya back, either through laxatives or vomiting. People who do not always look skinny bulimia.

While those who suffer from anorexia usually body mass index less than 17.5, but still refused to eat and tend to exercise excessively.

"Danger symbol of fertility disorders in women who are on a strict diet is when menstruation stops," said Dr Marie Wren, Deputy Medical Director of Lister Fertility Clinic in London, such as the Daily Mail quoted.

He explained that part of the hypothalamus in the brain that controls the release of hormones from the pituitary gland that regulates the menstrual cycle to stimulate the ovaries to produce eggs. However, when a woman loses weight to the extreme, the process stops.

"This is the way the body maintain existing resources. If a woman is menstruating, her body will lose iron, whereas only a few inputs. Therefore, the body defend it by stopping your period," he explained.

Apart from eating disorders, yo-yo dieting can also lead to menstrual disorders. "If weight loss is easy up and down, the body will think it is stress causing changes in the mechanism of ovulation," said Amanda Tozer, consultant reproduction.

When the weight is reduced by only a few pounds, the body will be fine. But if extreme changes, either rising or falling, menstrual disorders can occur.

Diets that are too tight will also make the body lacks the nutrients that the body can not function normally and this affects the reproductive function.

Unfortunately, according to Wren, the effects can be long-term impact. About 20 percent of women who are too thin to say, their menstrual cycles do not return to normal, even when their weight was ideal.

"There are some anorexic patients I work with who is now her weight is normal, but the system in the hypothalamus in the brain is not working again," said Wren. For that, the doctor will usually try to provoke ovulation with medication.

He adds, not just skinny woman who disturbed fertility, but men also. "Men who are too skinny are usually poor sperm quality because it lacks nutrition," he said.

Although no recommended dietary excess, obesity was also a problem for the pregnancy because excess fat can also affect hormone balance.

According to Tozer, their body mass index over 30, chances of getting pregnant as an underweight person. "Women who are obese tend to suffer from polyscystic ovary syndrome (POS) which affects the difficulty conceiving," he said.

Human Papilloma Virus Lurking Women

2011-07-20T21:26:00.000-07:00

Women must begin to be alert at this time primarily on genital organs. Now, cervix or cervical cancer is the leading cause of death due to cancer. In developing countries the death rate has reached 13.5 percent.

"According to data GLOBOCAN 2002, there were more than 40,000 new cases of cervical cancer with about 22,000 deaths in women therefore in Southeast Asia. This means that every day some 20 Indonesian women died of cervical cancer," said Dr.Dwiani Ocviyanti.Sp.OG from RS Ciptomangunkusumo, during a seminar on cervical cancer in Saung Galah Restaurant, Jakarta, Monday (15 / 9).

Cervical cancer that attacks the area under the uterus, where the organ connecting the uterus and vagina, caused by the attack Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). HPV is very contagious and can infect anyone who is sexually active, whether male or female. Symptoms that appear too difficult to be detected, so people sometimes do not realize that we have been infected even pass it.

Cervical cancer does not just attack people who are married or happy to have sex. "People who perform sexual contact are also likely affected by this disease. Even when using a bath in turn. The virus can ask God for a long time so that cleanliness does not guarantee us free from this virus," added Dwiani.

In addition to cervical cancer, HPV can also cause diseases of genital warts (genital warts). In contrast to cervical cancer, genital warts can be detected by naked eye and can affect men. Genital warts are attacking the outside of the genitals. Shaped like a wart that we know in general, but it causes itching and burning.

When suffering from genital warts, we can treat by visiting a doctor or a professional handler. Although it can eliminate the warts, but does not eliminate the HPV virus because it is in the body. Thus, in some time later this warts appear after treatment.

Dwiani added, cervical cancer and genital warts can be prevented early on in two ways. Vaccination is performed three times in six months as a primary prevention and Pap smear, which takes cells from the cervix and examined under a microscope to detect abnormalities in the cervix as secondary prevention.

"Prevention is to reduce the level of risk to 98 percent, let alone carried out over a period of 9-26 years of age or at least six months before marriage,

Religion, Mental Health Resources-Sports

2011-07-12T20:36:00.000-07:00

a leading psychiatrist Prof. Dr. Dr. Dadang Hawari said religion is very useful to be used as therapy and mental health care.

Religion, says Prof. Hawari, can be exploited by psychiatrists in treating patients with psychiatric disorders through the concept of biology, psychology, social, and spiritual (BPSS).

The integration of religion into the actual treatment is widely known. In 1984, for example, the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the spiritual dimension of religion is as important as the physical, psychological, and psychosocial. Along with that, the therapies are performed began using religious spiritual dimension. Such therapies are called holistic therapy, meaning therapy that involves physical, psychological, psychosocial, and spiritual.

"This integration has been presented in various international conferences in the field of medical science of the soul (psychiatry) and mental health (mental health)," said a senior psychiatrist born in Pekalongan, Central Java, it is now in Greece to bersilaturahim with the Indonesian community in Athens.

Professor Hawari also a series of trips to Athens to attend the World Psychiatric Association International Congress in Turkey, 9-12 June. According to Professor Hawari, every doctor should be able to know the condition of the whole person, both in terms of body, soul, and the last is a religion. Said the man who pursue medical science since 1968, the concept of religion in the world of international psychiatry has become an integral part of since 1993.

Therefore, in analyzing a patient who experienced psychiatric problems, the doctors should also examine the patient from the side of his religion. In practice so far, the concept is of great help cure his patients.

All Religions, continued Prof. Hawari, was clearly implied and don'ts for his followers and an indication of life that must be executed correctly. Within the scope of Islam, for example, the pillars of Islam and the pillars of the faith is a way of life in marriage and society to achieve happiness in the world and the Hereafter.
