In the Journal of Pain, researchers from Universite de Montreal, University Hospital Center and McGill University found adolescents who start dating at an early age more headaches, stomach and waist. They also reported more depression than someone his age who had never dating.

Dr Isabelle Tremblay, a researcher from the Universite de Montreal and Dr. Michael Sullivan, a professor from McGill University psychologist has conducted a study to determine the influence of early relationships to one’s health.

A total of 382 adolescent students aged on average 12 to 17 years in Canada were recruited as research participants. They were asked to fill out questionnaires about the frequency and intensity of emotional experience and physical disorders as well as his early love.

The result is, someone who knows love is more likely to be a private early fragile, sickly, insecure and easily depressed. “The symptoms that developed from since childhood, and adolescence and finally as an adult,” Sullivan said as reported by ScienceDaily, Thursday (26/11/2009).

Researchers do not fully understand why it happened. However, the researchers stated conclusion is, someone who early relationships, for example teenagers, will have an alarm that the pain is higher, especially if the teenager had a bad relationship with her partner.

“They have a tendency to rate the pain deeper. They were really bad feeling pervades like sad or upset because they’ve known psychology when dealing with a partner,” said Sullivan.

But due to too deeply sad and emotional feelings are depression and other illnesses. “Because it is too sad or angry, feelings of depression can arise. As a result they so did not eat, lack of sleep or will not do anything. From whence came the diseases such as dizziness, abdominal pain and others,” said Sullivan.

Those who know love and have problems in dealing with the first couple to have a more serious outlook and a more closed attitude. It triggers feelings of stress and other physical illnesses.

In the meantime, they are not making love at an early age tend to be more expressive and more socializing with other friends as a form of seeking support when they are sad or not there is a problem

In epidemiology, in the year 2030 estimated prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in Indonesia reached 21.3 million people (Diabetes Care, 2004). Based on the results of the Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) in 2007, found that the proportion of causes of death due to DM in the age group 45-54 years in urban areas ranked 2nd of 14.7%. DM ranked the 6th leading cause of death 5.8% in rural areas.

The problems that arise in the treatment of diabetes in Indonesia are:
1. Lack of early diagnosis adekuatnya
2. Limited access to comprehensive treatment
3. Kurangya recognition and early treatment of complications.
4. Inadequate education of society at large. This is contributing to high death and disability due to diabetes.

Diabetes associated with an increased risk of heart disease and blood vessels (stroke), chronic kidney disease, leg amputations, and blindness. Financing and the impact of DM complications is very high. This thinking underlies the importance of early detection and adequate intervention.

Diabetes and its impact

DM diagnosis established by laboratory tests of fasting blood sugar and blood sugar tests after eating (glucose load). Patients were asked fast 8-10 hours before the examination of blood sugar. Someone stated levels of DM when fasting blood sugar> 126 mg% and blood sugar levels 2 hours after glucose load more than 200 mg%. In general, patients were also asked to collect urine samples.

This is intended to detect glucose in urine. In normal circumstances there is no glucose in urine. If levels in the blood sugar is high, some glucose will be excreted through urine. Disorders of glucose tolerance should be alerted as early symptoms of DM. Lifestyle changes and regular laboratory tests are recommended.

In general known type 2 diabetes, namely type 1 diabetes (insulin dependent), and diabetes type 2 (non-insulin dependent). There is also a diabetes in pregnancy, and diabetes due to malnutrition. Type 2 diabetes usually begins in middle adulthood (40-50 years). The case of type 2 diabetes mellitus reported to continue to increase in many developing countries (including Indonesia). This may be caused by a number of cases of obesity (overweight) and lack of physical activity in children.

Mortality and morbidity in diabetes is more determined by the appearance of complications. Complications of diabetes are as follows: blood sugar level is very low (hypoglycemia) blood sugar levels are very high (hyperglycemia), increased risk of infection, complications of small blood vessels (microvascular), neurological disorders, and complications of large blood vessels (makrovaskuler). Diabetes mellitus is one cause of blindness in the adult group, the main cause of non-traumatic amputations, and the main cause of kidney failure.

DM issues in Indonesia

Indonesia is one country with the highest absolute DM patients in the world. Increased prevalence of DM in Indonesia has consistently appeared from time to time. Increased prevalence of DM can not be separated from food consumption patterns and lifestyles.

Various epidemiological studies consistently show that the increased prevalence of DM associated with obesity, lack of physical activity, and emotional stress. A situation which is identical to the pattern of urban life (urbanization) and the pattern of life kebaratan (westernization).

Urbanization and westernization was quite prominent in the various regions in Indonesia. Economic progress of the growing impact fast-food outlets, lack of exercise opportunities, and high emotional stress.

Another problem in the handling of DM in Indonesia is the lack of awareness and early detection. Diabetes mellitus complications will provide over time. This is what underlies the need for early detection and effective interventions as early as possible. The public is more familiar triad P (Polyuria / lots of urine, Polidipsi / lots of drinking, and Polifagi / lots of eating) as the classic symptoms of DM.

The problems that arise are a symptom triad P is not very typical for DM, and many DM patients who showed no symptoms. In many cases, the DM often with inadequate control. Fear of taking medicine regularly and failure in life style changes are often observed in many cases.

Educate the public about the dangers of DM complications is needed. In many cases, people with DM was treated when complications occur has been so bad. This will provide the burden of pain and disability are greater for people with DM and their families. DM complications handling costs will be much higher than the recognition and prevention efforts are effective DM.

Discover and control

In accordance with the theme of World Diabetes Day in 2009, ‘Understand Diabetes and Control’, then diabetes should be understood as a whole, both risk factors, diagnosis and complications.

Diabetes is very important Pengandalian implemented as early as possible, to avoid the cost of very expensive treatment. Even since the children and adolescents, healthy lifestyle by eating lots of vegetables and fruit, get exercise and not smoking is a good habit in the prevention of diabetes mellitus.

Therefore, the role of educators both formal and informal, DM educators and health cadres (doctors, paramedics, and trained community anggoat) very important role to reduce morbidity DM.
Development of partnerships with various elements in society and across sectors associated with DM in each region is an important activity carried out.

Understanding the risk factors of DM is very important to know, understand and can be controlled by the community, educators, educators and health workers in the surrounding community.

The purpose of DM control program in Indonesia is the implementation of controls to reduce risk factors for morbidity, disability and death caused by DM. DM control take priority on early prevention through risk factor prevention of DM is promotive and preventive efforts by not ignoring the curative and rehabilitative efforts are adequate.

Heart

The heart is a muscle that pumps blood around the body. In a heart attack (myocardial infarction), part of the heart muscle to die while not getting blood. To stay healthy, the heart requires oxygen and nutrients carried by the other’s blood. This is obtained through the arteria (blood vessel) coronary, which wrap the outside of the heart.

Heart Disease

Heart attack

These diseases can affect any part of the heart. However, the most common disease is a chronic disease in the coronary arteria called atherosclerosis. Therefore, heart disease commonly known and most common is coronary heart disease or coronary arteria disease. The disease is most often causes a heart attack in someone who can cause death. The reason is the narrowing of the coronary arteries, where the vessel serves to provide blood to the heart muscle. Constriction caused by a pile of cholesterol or other proteins derived from food intake in the body. This buildup causes the coronary blood vessels become stiff. Rigidity is called atherosclerosis.

Atherosclerosis occurs if there is accumulation of plaque, or fatty deposits in artery walls. After a time, plaque can accumulate, harden and narrow arteries, and inhibits blood flow to the heart. Coronary arteria disease or coronary artery disease (CAD) is that basically leads to most heart attacks.

Blockage in one or more coronary arteries can cause a heart attack suddenly. The reason for asking the heart exceeds the available oxygen so that trigger heart attacks. Why? If the heart muscle does not receive oxygen for a long time, the surrounding tissue may be damaged. Unlike other networks, did not have the heart muscle regeneration. The longer the attack, the more damage to the heart and the more likely it died.

Even in an artery that is not too narrow because timbungan plaque and fat deposits of plaque can rupture and form a crust of blood or thrombus. In addition, the diseased arteries also tend to experience sudden muscle contractions. Thus, a piece of crust of blood can form a contraction, releasing chemicals which then result in narrowing the artery wall, triggering a heart attack.

If the work system of the heart is damaged, the normal rhythm of the heart can become chaotic and the heart began to tremble with uncertainty or experiencing fibrillation. This abnormal rhythm known as arrhythmia is a deviation from normal heart rhythm. This will cause the heart to lose its ability to effectively pump blood to the brain. Within ten minutes, brain death and the patient was beyond help.

Pain or feeling pressured in the chest, called angina, gave warning to half of those who suffer a heart attack. Some people experience breathless or exhausted and feeling weak as the symptoms, indicating that the heart is not getting enough oxygen because of coronary blockage.
