Beware Parasites Eater's On Contact Lenses are Filthy

This is a warning to the careless contact lens wearers. Scientists recently discovered a parasite that appears on the contact lens that is not cleaned properly. The parasite was originally located in the tap water or raw water, but it can eat away the eyes and cause blindness.

Acanthamoeba is the name of this parasite. Coming from a family or a single-celled amoeba, Acanthamoeba can be found in the river water, tap water, lakes, even in the shower and swimming pool. Unfortunately only a few people are aware of its existence.

"This is potentially a problem experienced by all contact lens wearers," said Fiona Henriquez from the University of the West of Scotland as reported by the Daily Mail, Friday (09/07/2012).

Millions of people at risk of developing these eye glutton amoeba, especially contact lens wearers do not clean the contact lenses properly or store it in a dirty state. Acanthamoeba stick to contact lenses, corneal tissue feed on bacteria and then make a hole in the cornea of ​​the eye.

When a dirty contact lens mounted, attached parasites will begin to eat away and proliferate in the outer layer of the eyeball. The symptoms are itchy and watery eyes, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, swelling of the upper eyelids and severe pain.

The number of people affected is still relatively small amoeba. However, the treatment takes a long, painful and not entirely effective. Patients who are infected often have to be hospitalized and need disenfektan eye drops regularly. In more severe cases can be up to require a corneal transplant.

The scientists also warned that in the most serious cases, the parasite burrows made up so far into the eye it can not be cured and lead to blindness.

"Generally, this amoeba will leave scarring on the cornea. If the infection penetrates deep into the third layer of the eye, then what remains is scar tissue with corneas that have been perforated," said Graeme Stevenson, opticians in the UK.

Stevenson said about 75 cases of acanthamoeba infections occur in the UK each year. The reason is mostly due to contact lens wearers do not follow the instructions given by the optical.

Rinsing the contact lenses with tap water, swim or shower while wearing contact lenses is an action that can increase the risk of eye this parasite. Maintain hygiene of contact lenses will be able to protect the wearer from attacks acanthamoeba contact lenses.

Dr. Sandra said prudent use of antibiotics is feared could lead to resistance or immunity of bacteria against antibiotics.

Prof Iwan Dwiprahasto UGM as a professor of pharmacology in the article detikHealth said improper use of antibiotics can harm public health globally and individually.

Quite diverse forms of abuses ranging from inappropriate and how to choose the type and duration of antibiotic administration.

"The habit of giving antibiotics with incorrect dosage and administration time is too short or too long will cause a serious problem of resistance," said Prof. Iwan.

For that people are expected to use antibiotics wisely:

1. Precise indication
2. Appropriate patient
3. Proper medication
4. Appropriate dose and duration of drug delivery

Son Got Autism and Schizophrenia Causes of Dad

Developmental disorder in children is a heartbreaking parents. Several studies have found that the condition of pregnancy plays an important role for the development of the baby. But in fact, a recent study found that a genetic mutation in the father who did most trigger the disorder in children.

Researchers have found that human genetic mutations inherited most of his father's side. Risk gene mutation may increase with age age of the father.

"Most child development disorders originate from mutations in a gene on the father," said David Reich, professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School, as reported by Counsel and Heal, Monday (08/27/2012).

Reich prof conclusion was based research which found that the ratio of the rate of mutation in the father is 3.3 times compared to the mother. In addition, the rate of gene mutation dad will increase 2-fold at the age of 20-58 years, but not the mother.

The research published the journal Nature Genetics, was conducted on about 85,000 people in Iceland and confirmed that some child developmental disorders such as autism more correlated with the age of the father.

Not only that, this study also calculates the human mutation rate and give you an estimate when did human ancestors began to diverge development of primates. Prof. Reich identified 2058 genes and mutations analyzed mutations in the ancestors of humans and chimps at 3.7 million and 6.6 million years ago.

This study highlights that human genes can undergo drastic changes if the men tend to have children at an older age than previous generations.

Another study published in the journal Nature also shows that older men are more likely to have children with autism or schizophrenia than young men. This is caused by random mutations that occur more as we get older the father, but the mother is not at risk of causing disorder.

The findings concluded that the older the father, the more likely their children with autism or schizophrenia. Cause, the sperm are more susceptible to genetic mutation is produced constantly and often had undergo cell division. And the old man's sperm from his more errors.

Dr. Iglesia said that women are confused about what is normal and which ones can really help. Sometimes doctors who perform this procedure does not explain all the risks such as infection, scarring and loss of sensation during sex.

ACOG does not only refer to the risk of genital surgery, but also stressed that women's sexual response is driven by psychological factors for genital appearance. Though this was not an act proseur cheap and usually not covered by insurance.

A variety of procedures that can be done is to improve the shape of labia labiaplasty ie, making or creating new or virgin selpaut 'revirbination' and inject the front wall of the vagina area with collagen to enhance sexual gratification.
