LONDON – Humans and insects have similarities in terms of brain disorder that causes migraine disease, stroke and epilepsy. Therefore, the scientists used this similarity to analyze the grasshopper as a guide to finding a suitable drug therapies for these diseases.

A biologist at Queen’s University found that these health problems associated with brain dysfunction that results from the closure of nerve cells. Such information is quoted from Machine Like Us, Saturday (4/7/2009).

Apparently, it is also felt by the locusts when they fell into a coma after exposure to weather conditions such as extreme heat and lack of oxygen.

Insects have the unique ability to survive at the time of entering a coma. Direct them immediately to recover independently. This method works like a drug that leads directly to one of the target cells causing pain.

“This is what we were developing. We imitate what they do grasshoppers and apply this method for the treatment of migraine, stroke and epilepsy in humans,” said one scientist in this study, Gary Armstrong.

“What makes me really wonder is, locusts have the ability to suppress pain attacks and minimize the impact of brain disorders by 70 percent,” he added.

The results of this study showed that the grasshopper in a coma in an effort to rest a moment and collect the energy in the body condition was critical. Response of brain cells that occurs in these locusts similar to those in humans when experiencing a migraine

YEAR 2009, people with autism in Indonesia reached 475 thousand. The number of just fantastic. But unfortunately, the cost of autism treatment, or current therapy is relatively expensive, approximately Rp750 thousand-Rp3 million per month until not all people can enjoy it.

Psychologically, autism is understood as a state one more oriented to the subjective mind than to see the reality or the reality of everyday life. Thus, people with autism often are busy with the “world” it.

The high cost of autism therapy group behind the General Medical students Muhammadiyah University of Yogyakarta (KU-UMY), ie Revani Dewinta Lestarin, Yunita Puji Lestari, Nor Muhammad Tawheed, and Ragil Adi S, sort of therapy to relieve symptoms of autism are not spending too much cost.

“Autism is a neurobiological disorder that persist. Symptoms appear on the field of communication disorders, interaction, and behavior, “he said when met at Revani UMY campus, Yogyakarta, recently.

Although neurobiological disorders can not be cured, but symptoms can be minimized by therapy can be done cheaply and at home, namely the brain gymnastics or Brain Gym.

Revani explains, is a brain exercise therapy techniques that help the brain’s electrical and body work more effectively together. Brain gym movements also increased three brain communication, ie communication with the right brain left brain, the brain behind the front with the brain, and brain on the bottom. Brain of communication is useful improve the efficiency of sensory information is most useful for people with autism.

“Brain gym movement was varied, like a double stroke at the same time, moving the limbs in turn, and activate the hand,” he said

WASHINGTON – Thanks to a study conducted on monkeys, just steps away from the scientists can find ways to treat patients with muscular dystrophy.

Muscular dystrophy (MD) usually defined as a group of genetic or hereditary muscle disease that weakens the muscles of the human body mover.

In a study published in the journal Science this Translational Medicine, found that monkeys are able to grow bigger thigh muscles after receiving gene therapy. Genetically, the monkey is almost same with humans. So successful method of gene therapy is likely to be applied to humans as well. Such information is quoted from NPR, Thursday (12/11/2009).

Research on compounds involved muscle protein called myostatin is produced naturally in the body. Normally, muscles in order to prevent myostatin not enlarged. But when the compound was removed or blocked the activity, the muscles can become great.

Previous studies, conducted in mice, showing that lack of myostatin in rodents that will raise muscle two times greater than normal mice muscle.

Jerry Mendell of the Center for Gene Therapy Research Institute at the mention of gene therapy techniques to remove and stop the activity of myostatin can work very well in mice.

“But some things can work in mice do not necessarily apply to humans,” said Mendell.

“Therefore, we decided that the best way to test this gene therapy model is to test it on monkeys,” he added.

Mendell and his team tested the monkey Macaca species by injecting genes in the right thigh monkeys are in a few months, they begin to see the changes.

“We found a gene injected muscles become larger. This experiment also proved that the thighs are getting gene therapy to be more powerful than untreated muscle genes,” he said

BECOME beautiful, many ways that can be done. Traditional way to start the modern. Likewise offered beauty spots also vary. One recent favorite therapy is therapy using jade. You can get this treatment in the Rose Give Hair & Beauty.

The name of jade, which comes to mind is the green stone that comes from China. However, jade is used in place of the recently opened four months is a genuine jade own country. “Jade is actually jade Indonesia, who came from Semarang, Central Java. Because they were green, so named jade. If the jade from China, we use broken, not strong,” said Rose Give therapist, Ano Sugiatno.

Recognized a man who was involved in the spa for 10 years, therapy jade apply this Java is Aura Angel and Jade Creambath. If Aura Angel jade apply on the face and breath points, while Jade Creambath applied to the head.

Although both use the jade, its function is different when applied to each of these body parts. He explained, if applied on the face (Angel Aura) function to delay aging, shrink pores, magnesium content in the jade can open or remove air, blood circulation and activate metabolism.

Angel Aura process begins with the face massage, full-blooded aura of faces, facial massage with jade stones, jade full-blooded, egg-white mask with essential oils, spa ears, full-blooded aura of the body, back stone therapy, hot de coco back, and hand scrubs. Then covered with bodies smeared with lotion. “After the massage, full-blooded done to open the pores. Then, the pores have been opened with the full-blooded return reduced by using jade because of the cold,” he said.

In addition to beauty, jade therapy also works for health, such as eliminating migraine, sinusitis, and cold. This therapy requires a total time of about 120 minutes, in which the jade therapy itself only takes about 20 minutes using approximately 14 jade to face, ears, and breath points located below the front shoulder.

Ano say, once the results of therapy will be immediately apparent. This treatment is recommended twice a month to get the expected results, such as the body becomes more fresh, a glowing face, easy to sleep, and for those who suffer from a missing migrants.

Besides Angel Aura, you can also try other therapies, which are also still using the jade, his name Creambath Jade. This therapy is carried out for 90 minutes.

Water is a medium warm therapy can cure a stroke. Effect hydrostatic, hydrodynamic and the warmth makes the body can move smoothly, accelerate blood circulation and gives peace. That hidropterapi. How is the process of this therapy?

According to Dr. Kusumastuti SpRM Peni, medical rehabilitation specialists from Sustainable Resource Clinic Dharma Jakarta, cure stroke was not as easy as turning the palm of his hand. It takes awareness and discipline. One therapy that can restore the muscles and stiff joints are hydrotherapy.

Hydrotherapy, said Dr. Peni merrupakan one form of exercise therapy modality using warm water. Therapy is offered therapeutical pool (therapeutic exercises in the pool).

Water, he continued, is the appropriate treatment media for recovery of injury. The influence of the buoyant force of water to make the burden on the body of a patient’s joints decreases.

“Water used at a temperature 31 degrees Celsius. The range of temperature is quite safe and relaxing effects for the patient, the blood circulation, reduce pain and improve movement tool,” he said.

The main basis for the use of warm water treatment is hydrostatic and hydrodynamic effects. Scientifically, Dr. Peni clear, warm water has a physiological effect for the body. First, the impact on pembuluhdarah. Warm water to make a smooth blood circulation. Second, the factor loading in the water will strengthen the muscles and ligaments which affect the joints of the body. Not surprisingly, patients with rheumatoid arthritis and is very well when treated with warm water.

The third exercise in the water positively affect the heart muscle and lungs. Exercise in the water makes breathing circulation better.

“Hydrostatic and hydrodynamic effects on this therapy also helps sustain weight loss during exercise path,” said Chairman of the Association of Rehabilitation Specialist Medical Doctor Indonesia (Perdosri) this.

In addition to the positive things above, water temperature 31 degrees Celsius oksigenisasi affect the network so as to prevent muscle rigidity, eliminate pain, soothe the soul and relaxes the body.

“warm water therapy has many advantages, namely, reducing pain, improving body shape and motion tools improve,” he added
