Diabetes and MS linked in Danish study

People with type 1 diabetes are more than three times more likely to develop multiple sclerosis (MS) than are those without diabetes, new research from Denmark shows.

In addition, the two diseases appear to be linked, albeit to a weaker extent, within families.

Both type 1 diabetes and MS are auto-immune diseases, in which the body mounts an aberrant immune response against its own tissues -- attacking insulin-producing cells in the case of diabetes, and the myelin sheath surrounding neurons in MS.

The new, population-based study is not the first to reveal an association between type 1 diabetes and MS. However, previous evidence had come from relatively small numbers of patients.

As reported in the Archives of Neurology, Dr. Nete M. Nielsen, from the Statens Serum Institut in Copenhagen, and colleagues assessed the occurrence of MS in 6078 patients with type 1 diabetes over more than a decade of follow-up.

In addition, the researchers evaluated the presence of type 1 diabetes in 14,771 first-degree relatives of 11,862 MS patients.

Eleven cases of MS developed in the diabetes patients, while only 3.38 cases would be expected based on the rates in the general population. Thus, patients with type 1 diabetes had a more than three-fold increased risk of MS.

First-degree relatives of MS patients had a 63 percent increased risk of developing type 1 diabetes, the team calculated from their data. However, after accounting for the possibility of also being related to a patient with type 1 diabetes, the excess risk fell to 44 percent.

"To our knowledge, the present study is the first truly nationwide cohort study to demonstrate intraindividual and, to a lesser degree, intrafamilial co-occurrence of MS and type 1 diabetes," the investigators write.

"The underlying mechanisms remain unknown," they say, "but may involve both genetic and environmental factors."

Obesitas & Merokok meningkatkan resiko Impotensi

Hua...kabar buruk bagi para perokok dan yang obes...teryata kedua hal tersebut meningkatkan resiko Impotensi.
Penelitian terbaru menyebutkan bahwa : "menjaga berat badan yang sehat, tidak merokok, dan berolahraga secara teratur dapat menurunkan resiko terjadinya ED (Erectile Dysfunction) / Impotensi, hal ini berdasarkan penelitian cohort yang dilakukan selama 14 tahun pada 22.000 Laki-laki di Amerika Serikat. Hal ini disebutkan dalam artikel pada Journal of Urology.

Check this out.....
Among the men followed, those who were obese at the study's start were 90 percent more likely to develop ED than normal-weight men were. Similarly, smokers had a 50 percent greater risk than non-smokers.

On the other hand, regular exercise appeared to protect against erectile problems. Men who reported the highest exercise levels at the study's start were 30 percent less likely than their inactive peers to develop ED over the next 14 years.

Erectile problems were thought to be largely psychological. But it has become clear that heart disease and ED share many of the same risk factors.

Anything that impairs blood vessel function and blood flow could affect erectile function, and it's known that certain medical conditions that raise the risk of heart disease -- like high blood pressure and diabetes - can also lead to ED.

Susu dan Keju Penyebab Jerawat

Buat kalian yang suka minum susu krim& keju.... hati2....awas bisa jerawatan... he3x... Mau tau buktinya... Check this out...! taken from www.kalbefarma.com

"Penelitian baru-baru ini menunjukkan hal yang berbeda, menurut mereka beberapa produk makanan dapat menjadi pemicu timbulnya acne. Suatu penelitian besar dilakukan dan dipublikasikan dalam Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology yang dilakukan oleh tim Harvard.

Selama ini para dermatologist mengatakan bahwa jerawat (acne) yang terjadi pada seseorang dipengaruhi oleh faktor genetik dan ketidak seimbangan hormon, dan biasanya terjadi pada mereka diusia pubertas, kehamilan dan menopause.

Para ahli dari Harvard tersebut menganalisa kebiasaan makan yang dilakukan sejumlah 50.000 orang, khususnya dipelajari kebiasaan makan para remaja usia sekolah.

Mereka yang minum tiga gelas susu atau lebih dalam seharinya, ternyata mengalami 22% lebih sering mengalami acne dibandingkan dengan mereka yang hanya minum satu gelas susu atau tidak sama sekali, para ahli menjelaskan.

Susu skim adalah menyebab acne terbesar. Krim keju dan keju lembut juga adalah penyebab terbesar, sedangkan coklat dan makanan berminyak ternyata tidak berpengaruh banyak terhadap terjadinya acne.

Dr. Diane S. Berson, seorang asisten profesor dermatology di Weill Medical College, Cornell University, mengatakan bahwa makanan yang mengandung yodium seperti ikan dan kerang serta kedele juga merupakan penyebab terjadinya acne. Yodium diketahui berperan penting dalam proses inflamasi."
