detect carvical cancer

Cervical cancer is one of the scourge for women. Unfortunately there are still many women who are not aware of this disease can be present because of the wrong lifestyle.

Some causes of this deadly cancer, such as :

  1. marriage at young age
  2. frequent pregnancies
  3. smoking
  4. long-term use of oral contraceptives
  5. sexually transmitted infections.

Those who were infected rarely show symptoms in its early stages, and usually develop into cervical cancer a few years later.

Uterine cervical cancer in the female reproductive organs, attack the burrow entrance to the uterus or vaginal intercourse (vaginal). Health experts said that after infection of human papilloma virus (HPV) is not always the patient's body develops immunity, it is not protected from subsequent infection. Berstadium known cervical cancer can cause further harm to surrounding organs and can cause death.

In addition non-sexual transmission can occur through sharing of contaminated clothing in the long term. Most HPV infections lasted eight months and then disappear by itself.

But after two years, found about 10 percent of women still carry an active virus in the vagina and their cervix. It says health experts, cervical cancer usually attacks women have been outstanding, but the statistical evidence of another talk. This cancer attacks more women between the ages of 20 to 30 years. Cervical cancer occurs characterized by the growth of cells in the cervix are not uncommon.

But before these cells become cancer cells, there was some changes. Changes in these cells, normally takes many years before the cells had been transformed into cancer cells.
Cervical cancer has symptoms that should be watched ie :

  1. vaginal bleeding
  2. leucorrhoea
  3. pelvic pains
  4. can not urinate.

These abnormal cells can actually be detected its presence with a test called "Pap Smear Test", so that abnormal cells were detected as early as possible.

Cervical cancer

For years the cause of cervical cancer is a mystery. Once considered the cause is multifactorial. That is, many factors combine. These factors include sexual intercourse at an early age, multiple sexual partners, and genetic factors.

But scientists later discovered that this deadly cancer caused by human papilloma virus (HPV). This virus infects the cervix and cause cell mutations in the region. Mutated cells that later develop into cancer cells, causing damage, and spread to other organs.

Human papilloma virus are manifold. Until recently known more than 40 types. Of these, only a few types associated with cervical cancer, among other HPV 16, 18, 45, 31. In cases of cervical carcinoma in Indonesia, the cause of most is from HPV type 18.

Was recently developed vaccination to prevent HPV infection. Is the trade name Gardasil ®. The vaccine is given via injection three times over a period of six months. Targeted vaccines are girls aged 11 and 12 years. Moreover, it can also be given to women aged 13 to 26 years.

artificial pancreas

Artificial pancreas will be created by the scientists of diabetes with insulin pump manufacturer, Animas.The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) suggests, they choose the unit of Johnson Johnson was to develop and try new technologies, namely pumps and control systems specifically for diabetes type 1.
"This will be a first stage of research and development toward the creation of an artificial pancreas, said Dr. Henry Anhalt, director of medical affairs of ANL-mas, as quoted by Maggie Fox of Reuters. Anlmas will work with the foundation is to create solidarity between recording devices glucose, insulin pumps, and some software to wireless technology.

The new system will make it easier for diabetics to check blood and inject insulin. The goal is a tool that is able to check the blood at any time and inject insulin as needed, without the help of others. That means this technology in the future be only one package, either insulin pump or glucose alone recording system. Herein lies the power of ma-gisnya, when both the tool is able to communicate with each other. Now the two devices is already available but are still separated, said Alan Lewis, the acting Chief Executive Officer and President of JDRF. The trust has spent years working with science centers to build a perfect system and could be marketed.

"Anlmas is an agency that provides the equipment. JDRF will become a partner that uses our knowledge and expertise," said Lewis again. Foundations were poured eight million dollars for the next three years for that project. Type 1 diabetes is a disease "autoimune", ie the immune system is actually damaging the pancreas cells that produce insulin. The body is no longer able to dissolve and use the sugar.

If untreated, it will damage the blood vessels and nerves, orgarvorgan body, and finally his meninggal.Bah if untreated, the blood vessels and organs remain damaged, blindness, kidney failure, and even lost limbs. IN the United States (U.S.) estimated three million, an average of children and adolescents, type 1 diabetes. This could be a first aid for not only improve glucose control but also lift the entire burden, "said Aaron Kowalskydari JDRF

pancreas tummor islet cell

Pancreatic Islet Tumors are rare pancreatic tumors. Emerged from a cell tumors of the pancreas. In normal pancreas, small cells produce hormones that regulate various body functions, such as blood sugar levels and gastric acid production.

Tumors that arise from the pancreatic islet cells can also produce various hormones, although some do not. Although islet cells produce different hormones, most tumors release only certain hormones that lead to specific symptoms. Pancreatic islet cell tumors can be benign or malignant (cancerous).

Symptom
# Sweating
# Tremor
# Rapid heartbeat
# Anxiety
# Feeling hungry
# Dizziness
# The view blurred
# Seizures
# Loss of consciousness
# The mouth and tongue inflamed.

Treatment
Pancreas tumor Treatment will depend on the type of tumor was found and whether benign or malignant tumors. Malignant tumors spread to other organs, grow aggressively, and may not be treated. If possible, generally, the tumors removed surgically.

If malignant cancer cells spread (metastasize) to the liver, partial liver may be removed. If the cancer is widespread, various forms of chemotherapy can be used to shrink tumors.

If the abnormal hormone production caused the problem, medication can be given to counter their effects. For example, overproduction of gastrin in a case over skresi gastrinomas result in stomach acid, and drugs that inhibit acid secretion can be taken to alleviate the symptoms.

byetta

A kind of new diabetes drug that has yielded billions of dollars in sales, now faces a situation of uncertain future after the resulting six cases of pancreatic inflammation and irritation of the user experience, where the drug was given the name of Byetta, Amylin Pharmaceuticals and is made by Eli Lilly.

Called GLP-1 drugs such as Byetta, and similar products manufactured are also produced by several companies such as Novo Nordisk and Roche, it looks like and promises a new way to fight the problem of diabetes, linked to weight problems (obesity).

Byetta was introduced in 2005 to treat type 2 diabetes and have been sold throughout the world who generate sales value amounted to 195 million dollars in the second quarter, increasing 25% a year later.

The last case caused two people died wearer. News about the effects of these drugs has caused Amylin shares fall 13% market share in New York. In Europe, Novo Nordisk, based in the Danish stock price was down 4.66%. Liraglutide is a new drug for the company's expectations Novo, with analysis of the estimated 1 billion sales per year - six billion dollars. Shares in Ipsen, a French producer of drugs that produce similar drugs called taspoglutide with Roche, the stock price fell by 2.63.

Byetta, liraglutide and taspoglutide made for to stimulate release of insulin only when blood sugar levels are very high. Is everything going to cause side effects such as Byetta is still not clear.

Mads Krogsgaard Thomsen, chief science officer of a Novo said that even has discovered several cases of pancreatitis in patients taking liraglutide, but there was no statistically significant data showing a higher frequency in patients taking liraglutide. Byetta were injected two times a day, while liraglutide taken once daily.

soft drink, bad for your pancreas

A recent study about the effects of carbonated soft drinks or soft drinks reveals gruesome facts. According to a study published in 'Cancer, Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention' people who drink soft drinks at least twice a week at risk of suffering from pancreatic cancer two-fold.

The researchers collected data on consumption of soft drinks, juices, diet and nutrition, as well as data about lifestyle and environmental factors of 60.524 Singaporean people. Unsparing study followed up until 14 years. The study was conducted on residents living in housing owned by the government - such as that served nine of 10 Singaporeans. Research attention to diet, physical activity, reproductive history, occupation, and medical history.

Research shows 87 percent of the highest risk of pancreatic cancer were those who drank two or more soft drinks per week. Meanwhile, there's no linkage factor natara juice consumption with pancreatic cancer.

Why? "High sugar levels in soft drinks will increase insulin levels in the body. That is what encourages the growth of pancreatic cancer cells," said lead researcher Mark Pereira of the University of Minnesota, such as pages loaded News.com.au, Tuesday, February 9, 2010. Insulin, he added, helps the body metabolizes sugar. Insulin is produced in the pancreas.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most deadly types of cancer. According to the American Cancer Sosiety, only five percent of people convicted of pancreatic cancer, which can survive for five years. Pereira said the doctor, although research conducted in Asia, the results are relevant also for Westerners. "Singapore is a developed country with good healthcare. The population fond of eating and shopping, the same as in Western countries," he added.

flavanol for your pancreas

Research on diet of 183.518 residents of California and Hawaii, has shown evidence that foods containing a lot of flavonols may help prevent cancers of the pancreas. Flavonols can be found in plant foods. Onions, apples, berries, green vegetables, and broccoli has the highest flavonol content.

From other research there for an average of 529 people eight years of pancreatic cancer. People who eat foods with the highest flavonol content in their diet, as measured by the "list of what questions they often eat", has a 23% lower risk of esophageal cancer of the pancreas compared with people with the lowest flavonol levels, said Dr. Nthlings Ute from Germany Institute of Human Nutrition Potsdam-Rehbruecke at the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research in Los Angeles.

In this case smokers took the most benefit. The condition is because they already face a high risk for pancreatic cancer. Smokers who ate the most flavonols reduced risk for pancreatic cancer gland until 59%, compared with smokers who consumed at least flavonols.

Current smoking was the only risk factor for this disease. "Quitting smoking short-term and constantly show lifestyle factors, may help protect people from this deadly cancer," said Nthlings in a statement.

Of the three individual flavonols studied (kaempferol, quercetin and myricetin). Kaempferol, which is abundant in spinach and some cabbages, associated with the largest risk reduction (22%) among all subjects studied.

At all levels of consumption, total consumption of flavonol such as quercetin are most numerous in the onion and myricetin are found in berries, associated with a statistically significant trend toward reduced pancreatic cancer risk among current smokers, but not among former smokers or those who never smoked.

The study did not investigate the biological mechanisms of how the flavonols might protect humans from cancer, pancreatic gland. However, anti-cancer effects of such materials, in general, has stems from its ability to inhibit cell growth and oxidative stress, and enter a detoxification enzymes and programmed cell death.

In conclusion, Nthlings said, "these important findings is that consuming a lot of flavonols might help reduce pancreatic cancer risk, especially among smokers. Therefore, this study underlines the current recommendation regarding the consumption of foods based on vegetable oils, although these findings still must be confirmed in other studies to produce a definite conclusion.
