Eqiw — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 16:24:30 +0000

“Don’t dating because you still young”. Once the advice is often delivered in the child’s parents are still teenagers. Advice turned out to parents is supported by researchers, the earlier a person having the greater the risk of love hurt, depressed and even sick.

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

Overcoming Heart Attack

Eqiw — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 13:39:31 +0000

Heart is a very important organ for humans, because the heart needs to pump blood around the body so the body get oxygen and nutrients needed for metabolism. Therefore, the heart needs to be maintained in order to function properly. One is to avoid coronary heart disease is one of the dangerous disease that can cause heart attacks. To do this, we need to know how to keep our heart healthy, what to avoid and what can be done to maintain heart health.

Every year, millions of people worldwide suffered a heart attack. Not all heart attacks result in death. However, generally every patient who had suffered a heart attack suffered several subsequent impacts. While the rest are not beyond help.

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.

In addition to coronary heart disease due to fat deposition in the arterial wall, there are also other heart diseases caused birth defects. For example imperfect heart, heart valve disorders, weakened heart muscle. Another cause is the bacteria that cause infections of the heart.

But if you wait for paramedics to come, so while waiting, you can loosen tight clothing, including belts or ties. Create yourself in a position that feels comfortable.

Remain calm, no matter you are the victim or benefactor. Panic can increase the likelihood of arrhythmia or heart rhythm irregularities that threaten life.

The symptoms are perceived if you have coronary heart disease include pain or pain in the chest where most people thought it was just as indigestion. Then the other symptoms of feeling depressed in the middle of the chest for 30 seconds to 5 minutes. Another thing is the cold sweat, palpitations, dizziness, and felt like fainting. These symptoms are not always perceived the sufferer. Other warning signs are gasping for breath during exercise.

For several months before a heart attack heart disease usually often feel very tired. Do not assume these symptoms are caused by lack of sleep and stress of the job.

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.

Usually a few days before having a massive heart attack, a person will experience muscle contractions suddenly in the chest which is a small attack or a mild heart attack. Generally mild heart attack occurred before the major attack a few days later.

Treatment quickly and accurately from the medical team could save the heart muscle from damage that can not be repaired. The more heart muscle is saved, the more effective heart pumping will return after the attack. Do not put off getting medical help because of fear is considered absurd.
