Laugh Your Way to a Healthy Mind and Body
You might not believe it but a medical breakthrough was discovered claiming that laughter can truly be the best medicine for various illnesses and diseases. Doctors explained that when we laugh, the muscles of the face fold and eventually massage the essential blood vessels that supply the brain that stimulates flow of the blood. Thus, it increases the amount of nutrients and oxygen received by the brain and eventually changes your mood. As a matter of fact, doctors declare that 100 to 200 laughs a day is the equivalent to 10 minutes rowing or jogging.
Medical experts believe that happiness is something that we do not take for a chance, rather it is a matter of putting things into the right perspective and humor is an important part of achieving happiness. Many people have tried the laughter therapy and proven to be very effective to alleviate body pain such as arthritis and the like. A lot of patients observed that every time they laughed the pain lessen. It was also discovered that just 10 minutes of genuine laughter give 40 minutes of pain relief. How cool was that!
It is already established that depression weakens our physical strength and will be more susceptible not only to coughs, colds and minor infections, but also to more serious bodily breakdown. Current research reveals that sadness or loneliness, depression and many other negative feelings in reality depress the immune system, thus, making the body less able to defend itself against illnesses and disease.
Therefore, we need to seriously take laughter into a consideration. You can always share your smile to someone you meet today. These days a lot of people already forgot to see the funny side of life and there are those who cannot even recall the last time they smiled.
It pays to possess humor in your life, it lightens the, mind and body. Laughter is free and you can always have the dose of it anytime, anywhere. Laughter also stimulates positive thoughts, thus creating positive attitude in the long run. Being funny will help you gain friends because of your positive outlook in life. So, go and laugh your way to healthier you.

The Fastest, Most Effective Fat Burning Cardio Workout
What if I told you that you could get all the fat burning benefits of an hour long cardio session in just 4 minutes? What's the downside? You have to exercise harder and more intensely than you ever have before. Still with me? Then I'd like to introduce you to the Tabata protocol.
The Tabata protocol is named after Izumi Tabata, a former researcher at the National Institute of Fitness and Sports in Japan. Tabata evaluated a high intensity interval training routine developed by the coach of the Japanese speed skating team. The routine involves maximal effort sprinting for 20 seconds followed by 10 seconds of rest. This is repeated for 6-8 sets for a total of 4 minutes.
4 Minutes of Pain
Now this may sound easy on paper, but once you sprint all out for 20 seconds and have almost no time to rest, you get winded very easily. It's not uncommon to feel nauseous after completing this routine. Needless to say, this routine was used with world class athletes. Speed skaters are some of the world's finest athletes, and many on the Japanese speed skating team had to stop after 6 intervals for the first few times. I can perform 4-6 intervals at maximum velocity but see a slowdown for the last 2-4 intervals. Those last 2-4 intervals still represent my maximal effort; it's just that I'm too tired to give the same maximal effort as the first 2-4 intervals.
Fat Burning Effects
Most people think they need to stay on the treadmill or elliptical for at least 20 minutes before any fat burning begins. What makes this 4 minute routine so effective then? The short high intensity intervals result in a significant "after burn effect" in which your body continues burning calories for hours after you complete the workout. This happens because you burn off all your glycogen (carbs) during the workout leaving only fat for your body to burn. Additionally, the Tabata protocol has been shown to increase aerobic and anaerobic capacity while moderate intensity cardio only increases aerobic capacity.
Workout Flexibility
One great feature of the Tabata protocol is that it can be used on any number of exercises. I tend to only perform these high intensity intervals using cardio exercises, but you could easily use weights or body weight exercises. Do as many reps as you can in 20 seconds. Take a brief 10 second rest and begin again. Go light if you're using weights because this requires a grueling effort.
Getting the Most Fat Burning Out of Tabata Protocol
While the actual Tabata protocol only takes 4 minutes, you should incorporate a warm up and cool down period. I start off by warming up for 4-5 minutes. I do a 1-2 minute cool down and immediately catch my breath and drink some water. That's about 10 minutes total. Since I usually allocate a little longer than 10 minutes for a workout, I like to add some steady state cardio afterward. Tabata reduces glycogen levels and releases fatty acids. Steady state cardio can burn those fatty acids and take advantage of your body's low glycogen levels to really burn off fat.

Dangers and Prevention of Heat Exhaustion
Heat exhaustion is defined as the depletion of body fluids caused by overexposure to heat from sunlight or other sources of heat. Dehydration causes dizziness, nausea, weakness, chills, light headedness, headaches and unconsciousness. Heat exhaustion is usually not fatal, but the depletion of ion, mineral and water in the body can cause painful spasms of the muscles. During heat exhaustion, the temperature of the body rises, but it's not as elevated as in a heatstroke. However, exhaustion from heat can be fatal if left untreated.
Seniors, infants and children are highly at risk for heat exhaustion because their bodies do not contain a high amount of water. They can become dehydrated quickly. Seniors who already take medications and suffer chronic illnesses will have a hard time maintaining their normal body temperature.
If heat exhaustion is not treated immediately, it can lead to a heatstroke. When someone suffers from a heatstroke, he is in danger of getting permanent brain damage or organ damage. Worse, he can die from severe dehydration and stroke. Symptoms of heat stroke include an unusually high body temperature, hot or dry skin caused by the inability of the body to sweat, rapid pulse, slurred speech, nausea and confusion.
To prevent experiencing heat exhaustion, one has to remember to dress in loose or lightweight clothes to avoid the body from becoming overheated. Clothing that is made from natural fibers like silk or cotton allows air to circulate between the body and the clothing, so overheating does not happen. A person should always try to stay in the shade, or if one has to be out in the sun, he should wear a hat or use an umbrella. Stay out of direct sunlight as much as possible.
Whether doing activities indoors or outdoors, one should always remember to stay hydrated. A dehydrated body can easily heat up and can develop symptoms of heat exhaustion more quickly than a body that is properly hydrated. Drinking eight to ten ounces of water before going out into the sun can prevent the body from becoming dehydrated easily. In extreme temperatures while doing activities outdoors, drinking four to eight ounces of water every hour is highly recommended.
One should also choose the kind of fluids they take in as not all fluids have the same composition. Drinks that contain alcohol or caffeine and those that are sugary are not very ideal to take. Natural, unsweetened juices and water are the more ideal fluids that rehydrate the body. They are high in potassium content - a substance which the body needs.
When one suffers from heat exhaustion, he should be taken indoors or a shaded area where he can cool down. He should drink lots of fluids to rehydrate. A mixture of water and salt should be given to him, along with wet clothes which he can put on himself to allow his body to cool down faster.

The World of Phlebotomy
Phlebotomy is a complete clinical practice on its own. Phlebotomists are required to be precise accurate in their work. This practice involves the extraction of blood from blood vessels that is required for further medical examining and tests. A phlebotomist is therefore somebody who pierces injection into the blood vein of the patient and takes out blood from that. And phlebotomy is simply the whole procedure of doing such a task.
Phlebotomy is undertaken by people who usually require some sort of examination of their blood. Most often people with high levels of red blood cells in their body or having excess amount of iron their body need to visit phlebotomists every now and then. It is the blood extraction that they have to get done in order for them to stay health. Extra amounts of iron in the body can damage the liver and can have other serious implications as well.
A phlebotomist is required to take care of a lot of things. For example, he or she should make sure that the blood that is taken out for extraction is stored in the most proper and safest of all ways since this blood has to be transported for medical examination at a pathological lab. At the same time, he has to manage and organize various samples of blood taken from patients through out the day. At times the phlebotomist would also have to take care of maintaining the data base and might also have to do some sort of clerical work related to the lab. In this way, there are a lot of extra responsibilities which are directly related to the phlebotomist's profession.
The phlebotomist has to make sure that his patients are dealt with the proper way. In that he has to soothe out and calm down the patients who might be afraid of needle pricks. He has to work as a psychologist as well. Also, he has to make sure that the patient is not bruised by the prick for which he needs to precise and accurate while puncturing the vein. Proper eye harmonization and excellence of focus is therefore another responsibility of the phlebotomist.
The most important task of the phlebotomists also comes to the way he handles his apparatus. Since it is a matter of human blood sampling, he or she has to ensure that the apparatus and equipment being used is new and perfectly sterilized. This is the major concern of patients these days as well as the incidence of blood related infections are increasing due to negligence at hospitals particularly during times of blood sampling.
On the whole phlebotomy is a profession that needs to be taken up like a real professional and requires precision and accuracy at its best.

Anti Mosquito and Wetland Plants
No wonder, since the first case found in Surabaya in 1969 until now, never seemed to DB diseases can be minimized. Similarly, the number of victims.
Along with the outbreak of the DB, usually people choose a practical way, namely using drugs antinyamuk liquid or gas.
Although quite effective, this type of drug antinyamuk risky because the chemical content.
Therefore, it could not hurt us to choose more environmentally friendly way, ie using mosquito repellent plants. Plant life is the type of mosquito repellent plants in living conditions could banish the mosquito.
The ability of this plant as a mosquito repellent can be considered special. The reason is the strong scent of this plant, which allegedly does not like insects.
Use of this plant is easy enough, that is simply placed indoors or planted in the yard of the house. There also are used as raw materials for ointments and liquids antinyamuk.
Some types of mosquito repellent plants among fragrant lemon grass, vetiver, zodia, geranium, and lavender.
Serai Wangi
Although the more popular herbs used for cooking and medicinal ingredients, stems and leaves of Citronella oil can be used as a mosquito repellent. These plants contain substances geraniol, metilheptenon, Terpen, Terpen-alcohol, organic acids, and particularly citronellal. Citronellal these substances have toxic properties of contacts (for flavor). As a contact poison, it can cause death in mosquitoes because of the loss of fluid continuously.
Vetiver
Based on this research, the use of extracts of vetiver oil proved effective in controlling the mosquito Aedes aegypti and Anopheles aconitus. Toksitas test shows, the fragrant root extract with 0.20 and 0.25 per cent concentration able to kill larvae of mosquitoes Aedes aegypti within approximately two hours.
Zodia
Papuan people used to rub the skin with certain leaves before entering the forest. This means that they are protected from attacks by insects, particularly mosquitoes. The leaves are derived from a plant called zodia (Evodia suaveolens). In recent years, zodia popular as an ornamental plant as well as mosquito repellent.
Why be afraid of mosquitoes zodia? Zodia including families Rutaceae plants, which contain substances evodiamine and rutaecarpine. According to the Research Institute for Spice and Medicinal Plants (IMACRI), oil is distilled from the leaves contains linalool zodia apinene 46 per cent and 13.26 per cent. Linalool is what serves as a mosquito repellent. Zodia able to banish from the leaf of mosquitoes for six hours, with power protection for more than 70 percent.
Zodia naturally will issue a scent when the leaves rub against each other. Place plants around the window or door where the wind can enter the room. Can also be placed in the corner, then blow a fan. Quite fragrant scent will come out. Nevertheless, we must be vigilant, when plants zodia placed in a small room with little air circulation, can-can people who are in it too dizzy or drunk.
Geranium
Studies on extracts of Geranium radula thrust against the mosquito Aedes aegypti causes of laboratory tests conducted at DB Insecticides Reservoir Disease Vector Research Institute of Salatiga, Central Java. To see how effective concentration of the extract of Geranium radula, observed number of mosquitoes that landed on the top of the fist that is not and has been smeared by the plant extract.
Eksrak Geranium radula used does not cause irritation to the skin after tested to five people. During the test run is also measured abiotic factors such as body temperature, air temperature, and humidity. The collected data were processed using Two Ways ANOVA test followed by Tukey's test. Results showed that the effective concentration of Aedes aegypti refuse is 80 percent.
Lavender
From his appearance, lavender is very interesting. Purple flower is small, and issued a fragrant aroma. This flower is often rubbed into the body-rub to avoid mosquito bites. Not surprisingly, some topical drug products utilizing antinyamuk lavender as one of the material.

Are herbal medicines safe and efficacious?
Are herbal medicines safe and efficacious?
Efficacy of herbal medicine itself primarily standardized herbal medicine and phytopharmaca can be proved by the research results either through testing or clinical trials praklinik. Nonetheless need attention also for users of herbal medicines, because words herbal does not mean the drug is safe for consumption without any restrictions. This is because in the herbal ingredients can be contained substances that have a very strong effect (there are even a few active substances used in modern medicine results obtained through extraction from plants). So we recommend the use of herbal remedies should be appropriate dosage has been recommended and based on rules specified use.

Fitofarmaka
Fitofarmaka logo is even higher standards for herbal medicines. Phytopharmaca itself is a natural ingredient dosage safety and usefulness has been proven scientifically with praklinik tests and clinical trials. So in addition to the drug has been through the process of standardization of production and raw materials, then examined in the laboratory praklinik, we then carried out drug testing to humans (clinical trials) to assess the usefulness of sick people or healthy people for comparison. This stage usually requires a long time and is expensive because it involves many people. After beating the clinical trials of herbal medicines has been a evidance based herbal medicines which have meaning medical evidence of the efficacy and safety for humans. In Indonesia today there has been some kind of herbal medicine which has been in faction phytopharmaca and its use has even been prescribed by your doctor.
Standarized herbal medicine
Standarized herbal medicine is the dosage of natural ingredients that have been proven scientifically the safety and usefulness praklinik and test their raw materials have on the standardization. So at this stage apart from herbal medicines have been standardized raw materials and production processes also have to go through the process of laboratory tests which include testing the efficacy and safety testing. Efficacy test conducted on test animals in physiology and anatomy is considered almost the same with humans, while the safety test conducted to determine whether the material is hazardous or not. Safety testing is done in the form of acute toxicity test, toxicity test or when necessary subkronis chronic toxicity test. Praklinik From the test results will be known about the properties of such materials, the appropriate dose for the treatment, safety and even the possible side effects.
Jamu
Jamu logo is Indonesian traditional medicine. Potions or materials used to make herbal medicine is usually the hereditary material that is used for traditional medicine, for example galingale rice, turmeric, tamarind, turmeric, etc. brotowali. Formerly available in the form of herbal decoction or liquid, for the moment has a lot of herbal products that circulate in the form of powder or capsule. Because traditional medicine is a product made from natural materials that the type and nature of its content is very diverse, so to ensure the quality of traditional medicines needed a good way of making more concerned with the production process and handling of raw materials. For that party has issued a standard BPOM production of traditional medicine known as CPOTB (Traditional Medicine Making Good).

Prevention and Handling of Cervical Cancer and Osteoporosis
Often women simply mirror to observe the physical beauty. But has it ever women "mirrored" to observe the physical beauty more deeply, namely health?. Inspired by this, then held a roadshow Prodia Clinical Laboratory woman's health seminars in 17 cities with Jakarta as the city final. The theme of the seminar is "Looking Over The" Prevention and treatment Cervical Cancer and Osteoporosis. Two main topics discussed in the seminar is cervical cancer and osteoporosis, this is because the two diseases are diseases that often attack women. The seminar which took place in Prodia Tower, Jakarta on Saturday, December 12, 2009 yesterday was attended by guest speaker, dr. M. Syarief Darmasetiawan, SpOG-KFER as the Staff Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Gatot Subroto Army Hospital and the dr. Dwiana Ocvianty, SpOG (K) as a lecturer at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of medicine, and also speakers from Yati Sumiyati PRODIA ie, MSI, Apt.
At the first session, dr. M. Syarief Darmasetiawan, SpOG-KFER, discuss thoroughly about osteoporosis or bone loss. Osteoporosis itself is run like a stroke, occurs slowly so that the sufferer is not or not initially feel the complaints / symptoms. The new person will be aware of osteoporosis as joint pain / bone that never healed or a sudden onset of fracture because only a mild impact. Patients themselves usually will experience chronic pain which can overload yourself, your family or community. Through this seminar is hoped the community can better understand the intricacies of osteoporosis, so prevention efforts can be conducted on an ongoing basis as part of their daily activities. Message from dr. Syarief yourself is "Do not neglect to prevent osteoporosis because it will reap and suffered broken bones in old age." In Prodia itself is currently available examination of blood samples to detect the risk of osteoporosis is through examination of the N-Mid Osteocalcin and CTX.
Then in the second session, dr.Dwiana Ocvianty, SpOG (K), reveals the importance of screening or early detection of cervical cancer for women who already had sexual contact. The cause of cervical cancer is the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) and the World Health Organization or WHO, cervical cancer is ranked as number-two cancer most often affects women with the estimated one third of women diagnosed with this disease will die. In Indonesia alone, cervical cancer is a cause of cancer death in women most of Indonesia. Nonetheless cervical cancer can be cured completely if found at an early stage or even prevented by HPV vaccination. Yati Sumiyati, MSI, Apt from Prodia complete information about the new inspection techniques for screening for cervical cancer is through a liquid-based cervical cytology examination (SSBC) and HPV DNA examination. Own cervical cancer screening is recommended to be done for every woman who has had sexual contact. For women aged <30> When the seminar also discussed efforts to prevent cervical cancer by HPV vaccination and healthy lifestyles.
Health is an inestimable treasure for mankind, therefore it is granted we must always try to keep it, either through a healthy lifestyle or by carrying out regular health checks.

Health Economics, Health Economics from the Side
Health Economics, Health Economics from the Side
Health economics is a branch of economics that applies economic principles to the phenomena and problems of health. Health economics itself focuses on two things, namely: the mobilization of funds and efficient health financing. Based on 2008 WHO report itself mentions that the cost of health expenditure worldwide is increasing with the average achieved> 2 times the economic growth rate. Factors that cause, among others: The rise of life expectancy associated with high rates of chronic disease that requires long-term care and costly medical procedures, medical technology & research of new drugs that require expensive costs which ultimately must be borne by the patient; Increasing demographic accompanied with an increased standard of living that encourages investment in preventive therapy (prevention).
To further socialize about it, then on Tuesday, January 12, 2010 yesterday at the Hotel Borobudur, Jakarta held a workshop on media events Health Economics. Meanwhile, Health Economics seminar & workshop itself will be held on 13-14 January 2010 held at the same hotel. The event which is the result of cooperation between Indonesia PT.Novartis with FKM Universitas Indonesia will be followed by the researchers, government, health industry as well as other health practitioners. While for the speaker itself presents several resource persons both from within & outside the country, such as: Prof. Hasbullah Thabrany, MPH, DrPH, of the FKM UI, Diana I. Brixner, RPH, PhD as Director of Outcomes Research University of Utah, USA; Lieven Annemans, PhD, MMan, MSc from the University of Ghent (UGent) and the University of Brussels (VUB), and the other speakers.
In Indonesia, according to data from the Center for Health Financing and Assurance, Indonesian per capita health expenditure rose from Rp. 184 000 in 2002 to Rp. 494 000 in the year 2009, or practically climbed to almost three times that number. According to health economists from the FKM UI namely Prof. own. Hasbullah, this is a reasonable line with the changing demographic, epidemiological and increase in life expectancy. So he continued "to be able to meet the health needs of quality and cost effective, better health policies through appropriate economic evaluation."
According to Lieven Annemans, PhD, MMan, MSc own "Often, drugs are used, actions or operations that run diagnostic tests performed to the patient proved to be the thing that is not really needed by the patient. While the reasons for this waste of potential ineligibility is due to health providers to conduct a scientific analysis as well as the predominant or a payment system known as 'fee for service' "where more and more types of service or the service will cost or fee will also be higher .
Therefore, Diana I. Brixner, RPH, PhD as Director of Outcomes Research University of Utah, USA introduced the concept of Health Economics that can help save healthcare costs are high quality and appropriate. He said: "Whether the past, health policies are often based on the level of efficacy and efficacy of therapy for patients without considering the cost factor at all. However, this analysis does not fit anymore with the current situation. The high population and lack of allocation of health financing in developing countries requiring a efektiviitas analysis and efficiency of health innovations in the real world. "
For the time being in Indonesia itself, this is a new discourse. While in practice, Health Economics and require full support from government, academics, researchers and other medical communities in order to solve current health problems, particularly concerning the use of drugs. Expected to strengthen the knowledge of the Health Economics in the future this may create economic evaluation experts who can promote the establishment of equitable health systems and efficient in Indonesia.

In most cases with excessive bloodletting from the penis with a needle (aspiration) and cleanse the blood vessels with a liquid to remove the clot or other stopper.
If Priapism lasted less than four hours may be given medication decongestants (eg pseudoephedrin and terbutaline), which works by reducing blood flow to the penis.
After granting a new decongestant done aspirations.
If an erection start repeating itself, can be given drugs vasoaktif, such as epinephrine, which causes shrinkage of blood vessels and prevent the recurrence of Priapism.
