During this time many claimed hexagonal water of oxygen or water can be refreshing and provide benefits to the body. Is it true that water containing oxygen is beneficial for the body?
"In humans oxygen can only be absorbed by the lungs and can not stomach, so the water of oxygen does not provide more benefit," said Dr. Dr. Parlindungan Siregar, SpPD-KGH of renal hypertension division, Department of Medicine Faculty of medicine in a press conference and hydration Health at the Gran Hotel Sahid Jaya, Friday (18/03/2011).
Dr Parlindungan said there was a joke that reveals 'If you are not a fish, do not need to drink oxygenated water'. This is because fish can absorb oxygen in water through their gills, whereas humans can not.
"Therefore whatever is offered is the same, provided that water consumed is enough will be good for health," said the doctor who received his doctorate from the Faculty of medicine in 2008.
Dr Parlindungan revealed while for water fortified (added) with other content will have an impact that is not good if consumed in excess. For example, bicarbonate water that is claimed to make the ageless be harmful if excessive, and the evidence base (the basis of evidence) for this case is still low.
Adequate water consumption in adults under normal conditions (temperature and environment) as much as 2 liters in 24 hours. This intake must be increased if it has a high physical exercise, fever, and high environmental temperature.
"If you are in cold environments are also recommended to drink more because a lot of water out through urine and breathing. If the sweat may not be seen because he had already evaporated before seen," he said.
Meanwhile, Dr. Dr. Dr.Saptawati Bardosono, MSc tells the body can not store a backup of water, while water produced in the body is only a fifth and most come from drinking water intake.
"If it arises it signifies the body's thirst has been the lack of fluids and generally women are more susceptible to dehydration than men because it contains more fat," said Dr. Tati.
Clinically mild dehydration occurs when the body lacks 3-9 percent of body fluids, while severe dehydration if the body lacks more than 9 percent of body fluids.
But in one study found lack of body fluids at 1.3 percent in women and 1.5 percent in men already cause symptoms of dehydration such as decreased cognitive function, activities disturbed and tired.
"To prevent dehydration you should drink every 1-2 hours once a glass of water quickly let no tension (angry)," said Dr. Barbara from the Department of Nutritional Sciences Faculty of medicine.

Water is one of the needs of every living creature. But it needs water for a healthy baby number 5 times more than the adults.
"The need for the baby water 10-15 percent of their body weight, while adults need 2-4 percent of their body weight. Means healthy babies need water 5 times more than adults," said dr Sudung O Pardede, SpA (K) in a press conference hydration and Health at the Gran Hotel Sahid Jaya, Friday (18/03/2011).
dr Sudung disclose the amount of water your baby needs most is based on the age neonates (0-28 days), followed by infants (0-12 months), children (1-18 years) and adults. Meanwhile, if the baby is born with low weight (LBW), then the water needs will increase again.
"The speed of water SIKUS in infants is very high, because it tends to infants and children vulnerable to diseases that cause dehydration," said the doctor who currently serves as General Secretary of the PP-IDAI (Pediatric Association Central Board of Indonesia).
Differences between infants and children with adults in terms of body fluids include differences in composition, metabolism and degree of maturity of the system of water and electrolyte regulation.
dr Sudung the clinic said the water needs in infants and children is usually based on body weight, one of which is using the formula Darrow namely:
1. Children weighing less than 10 kg, the need for water is 100 ml / kg body weight. For example, children weighing 8 kg, then the requirement is 8 x 100 ml = 800 ml.
2. Children weighing between 10-20 kg, the water requirement is 1,000 ml + 50 ml each increase in body weight over 10 kg. For example, children weighing 15 kg, then the requirement is 1,000 ml + (50 ml x 5) = 1250 ml.
3. Children weighing more than 20, then the water requirement is 1,500 ml + 20 ml each weight gain above 20 kg. For example, children weighing 30 kg, then the need for water is 1500 ml + (20 ml x 10) = 1700 ml.
Calculation of water requirements in children can also be based on body surface area and the amount of fluid released by the body.
Adequate water intake for children to help alleviate symptoms of constipation, diarrhea and fever. For infants or children with fever, then any increase in body temperature 1 degree celsius, the water intake plus as much as 12 percent, whereas in neonates who undergo light therapy required the addition of water at 20 ml / kg body weight per day.
"If a baby or child is dehydrated then the symptoms are easy fussy, decreased tears, dry mouth, sunken eyes, drinking like a thirsty and if the skin is pressed then it may take longer to get back into shape," he added.
Nevertheless some infants and children is sometimes difficult if asked to drink water and prefer other beverages are colored or have a sweet taste.
For that Dr. Dr. Dr.Saptawati Bardosono, MSc offers tips for kids to drink water that is:
1. Parents can provide water in the glass is mixed with ice cubes.
2. Parents also can provide additional pieces of fruit with a cute little shapes.
3. Provide water in a bottle with a straw of the colorful or funny shapes.

London, Cancer identical with the disease difficult to treat or cure. But women in the UK successfully against leukemia cells in the body within 7 days.
Natalie Langworthy told doctors that his life was only a matter of weeks after that run had previously failed treatment of cancer cure. He was first diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in March 2010.
After the diagnosis she had to undergo 4 cycles of chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation. But 2.5 months later experienced a relapse of cancer. This condition is known after he made a check of blood to find out how many white blood cells.
"Two days later, I met a consultant who claimed I could dikemoterapi again now and keep me to continue to feel comfortable until I die," said Natalie (34 years), as quoted by The Sun on Thursday (03/17/2011).
However his fiancee Andy (48 years) are not desperate and started doing research online about the type of leukemia that experienced by Natalie. Andy spends long hours to send emails and look for help, but most of the replies he received bad news.
"At that time we began to face the terrible possibility that there is no relief for Natalie and eventually he will die," said Andy.
But in the early morning he got an email from a friend in California who gave details of a trial in Germany that match the diagnosis Natalie. Immediately he sent an email to the consultant hematologist in Germany and the doctor revealed that Natalie could join in the study.
Because his white blood cell count is high, then Natalie had to fly in a supine position and received oxygen during the flight to reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Upon arrival in Germany, Natalie participated in the experiment and given medication blinatumomab. This drug works by sticking in leukemia cells and then activate the immune system to destroy it.
Two days after starting treatment test results showed that no remaining leukemia in blood flow, but changed to the bone marrow. Then he did a bone marrow biopsy, were given the drug again and 5 days later he received the good news that the leukemia cells was decreased.
"It's like the best Christmas gift that can be owned by me and my family," said Natalie.
Natalie still have to take medication and a small pump in a shoulder bag. This medicine will continue to be consumed for 4 weeks. After that he will rest for 2 weeks before the next proceeding.
"Compared with chemotherapy who have terrible side effects, this treatment is like a blessing. I get re awesome power and the doctors managed to save the life of me," he said.
Blinatumomab is an antibody that has 2 arms. One arm will hold the immune system and the other arm catch leukemia cells. Then these immune cells will attack and kill leukemia cells that exist.
"The test is still in its early stages and we do not know if this will be useful for various other types of leukemia or not. Therefore, clinical trials conducted in Germany is very important to know what can and can not be done by this drug," said Ken, clinical from Beat Blood Cancer.
The experts do not know whether this drug will become routine treatment for leukemia or not. However, the results obtained by Natalie can provide the determination and spirit of cancer patients worldwide.

Male genital size is always a concern. Like other organs, male sex is also experiencing growth with age, and growth stops at a certain age and then shrinks during old age.
Dr. James Mourilyan Tanner, a professor endokrinologist child and at the Institute of Child Health, University of London, has spent years studying the stages of sexual development during puberty, which is famous for Tanner Stage.
At Tanner Stage there are five stages of reproductive development in males, a change in penis size of the child until adulthood.
The following stages of development according to Tanner Stage penis, as reported by lavistachurchofchrist.org, Friday (18/03/2011):
Toddlers (birth to age 6 months)
Usually penis boys born at a length of at least 2.5 cm. At the age of 6 months, the length of the penis will increase to at least 3 cm.
Stage 1 (children 1-8 years old)
This stage is when a man is still as a child, before puberty begins. No external changes are visible in the genitals and no secondary sex characteristics, such as hair growth. Testicular volume is about 1 to 3 milliliters. Penile length-age children is between 4-5 cm.
Phase 2 (adolescents 9-12 years)
This stage occurs when puberty begins, although the hormone causes sexual changes have increased for almost a year. At this stage the testes and scrotum begin to enlarge, with testicular volume was 4 to 6 milliliters.

Stage 4 (teenagers 14-15 years)
In addition to growing longer, at this stage the size of the penis is also more broadly. Testes and scrotum continue to grow with testicular volume is 12 to 24 milliliters.
Pubic hair now covers most of the groin area between the thighs. Armpit hair begins to grow at an early stage. Also began to grow facial hair on the upper lip and chin. The voice continues to deepen and growth began to slow.

Responding to recent developments in Japan's nuclear crisis, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued new guidelines to reduce the danger of radiation on health, especially in children and adolescents.
Earlier the UN also said that so far the Japanese government measures to minimize the impact of radiation has the right, among others, evacuating residents within 20 km of the nuclear facilities and asked the people who live within a radius of 30 km to not leave the house.
So far there has been no indication of food safety that are imported from Japan, including food products that are harvested in areas that are exposed, but crops and livestock in the area should be protected.
Here are recommendations issued by WHO:
- Main Radionuclides released from nuclear power plants is radioactive cesium and radioactive iodine. "The public may be exposed directly from the radionuclides from the air or food and drink contaminated by such material," said WHO.
- If radiokatif iodine inhaled or swallowed, it settles in the thyroid gland and increase the risk of thyroid cancer. Risk can be reduced by consuming potassium iodine pills that will prevent the deposition of radioactive material.
"These pills must be given before or immediately after exposure to radiation. This step can reduce the risk of cancer in the long run," he said. Giving potassium iodine tablets are regulated by the authorities.
- If the radiation levels are too high, it can cause flushed skin, hair loss, burns and acute radiation syndrome. Nuclear power plant workers and rescue workers may be the most exposed group than the general population.
- Exposure to radiation can increase cancer risk. Victims who survived the atomic bomb on Hiroshima in 1945 known to suffer from leukemia a few years after exposure radisi and others just had cancer 10 years after the event.
- Risk of thyroid cancer in people exposed to radiation was higher in the group of children and adolescents.
- Limit consumption of vegetables and dairy products produced in areas near nuclear facilities could reduce radiation exposure.
- If after exposure to radiation, you have to go into the room, remove all clothing to prevent contamination at home. Remove clothing and shoes and then store in plastic bags and then move away from their homes, children and animals.
- Go take a shower with warm water, soap and water. Report on the authorities of clothing and other personal items that may be contaminated.
- If you are required to be in the house, there lived in the most secure room, which is no door or windows. Ventilation systems, such as cooling or heating system must be turned off.
- Food may be contaminated by radioactive material. "The surface of the fruit, vegetable, or animal feed can be exposed to radiation from the air or rain water."
- In the long run, radioactivity can also be formed in foods derived from land, river or sea water.
- Radioactive can not contaminate food that is packed with good, for example wrapped in plastic or tin.
- For the first step of prevention, vegetables and poultry meat should be covered with plastic or tarp. Move the animal into the cage.
- Avoid consuming dairy products or vegetables from the local area near the center of radiation, avoid slaughtering of livestock, fishing or taking mushrooms and other foods from the surrounding forests.

In 2009, a Ukrainian scientist has managed to get the Ig Nobel for his discovery that the mask bra phenomenal anti-nuclear radiation. Are there any benefits of anti-mask bra especially in the current nuclear radiation hazards of nuclear radiation in Japan?
As previously detikHealth ever written, anti-nuclear bra named Emergency bra has been created by a scientist named Dr. Elena Ukraine Bodnar, which can be turned into a shield or face mask to protect against deadly chemical or biological hazards, such as nuclear radiation.
According to Dr. Bodnar who now lives in Chicago, she initially got the idea after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986.
"If people have gas masks are cheap and easily available in the first hours after the disaster, they may be able to avoid breathing in air containing Iodine-131, which causes radiation sickness," says Dr. Elena Bodnar, inventor of the bra anti-nuclear, as reported by Dailymail, Friday (18/03/2011).
What are the benefits of anti-nuclear bra?
According to Dr. Bodnar, no matter what bra cup size is used, the bra is still anti-nuclear radiation can provide the same level of protection.
Dr. Bodnar claims bra can be useful in the event of biological terrorist attacks, such as nuclear radiation.
"Masks of this bra can also be used during disasters such as fires, dust storms or outbreaks of swine flu. You have to be ready all the time, at any place, any time and practically, because every woman wearing a bra," said Dr. Bodnar.
In his speech when receiving the Nobel, Dr. Bodnar said it took an average of 25 seconds for women to use these protective devices. Five seconds to remove the bra, change and use it as personal protection, and 20 seconds to wonder on a lucky man to be saved with a mask bra.
To use the mask of this bra, bras pamakai must first let go of her breasts and then remove the hook so that the cup is divided into two masks.
"For every cup related on the one hand, each bra strap should be wrapped in the back of the head and connected with a cup that is used to cover the mouth. When you have been trained, the use of masks this bra can be done in seconds," said Dr. Bodnar.
Still sounds a bit silly, the idea to create an antidote to radiation precisely bra triumph by winning a prestigious award. In 2009, British researchers are getting Ig Nobel Prize for Public Health work.
For benefits can be felt by everyone, is currently the Emergency Bra began production on a large scale. Enthusiasts can buy them online since it was launched in September 2010 for U.S. $ 29.95 or about USD 268 000.

SHAPE's body, whether the type of apples or pears, depending on the poorer levels of protein in the body fat distribution play a role, according to a study.
Scientists believe that the workings of a protein that can help the development of new obesity drugs. Proteins known as 11BetaHSD1 is found in healthy fat around the chest. This type of fat is usually seen in people with apple-shaped body. Healthy fat, is associated with low protein content, tend to have around the hips and is a characteristic pear-shaped body.
For that, researchers were analyzing to see genetically modified mice to determine the impact of these proteins. They found that mice lacking the protein tend to develop unhealthy fat tissue after four weeks on a diet of fat.
The researchers are also investigating ways to develop drugs that could inhibit the protein that causes the body's apple.
Study leader Dr Nik Morton from the Heart Science Centre University of Edinburgh, said: "This research opens new avenues and give us a better idea of why some fat in the body becomes unhealthy fat while others are stored securely for energy."
"Inflammation healthy fats cause a reaction that can cause harm to body tissues and affect the whole organism that triggers diabetes. Therefore, limiting the levels of these proteins can help to overcome this," he said.

OTHER time you eat a crispy toast or croissants at breakfast, you better consider it. Because, scientists have claimed that toast can accelerate the aging process, including the incidence of chronic disease.
Josephine Forbes of Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute has conducted studies on how much food, including baked bread and croissants, which can produce chemicals that are suspected to accelerate aging and lead to chronic disease.
A chemical called Advanced glycation End Products (AGEs) occurs in some foods and drinks such as soda and coffee.
The team of researchers from Forbes mentions that too much content of AGEs in the body can cause heart disease and diabetes, plus wrinkles and pigmentation as part of the process of skin aging.
As for foods that use AGEs usually contain lots of sugar or fat, especially animal fat, which is then roasted, baked, or fried at high temperatures, until crisp and golden.
"The more sugar in the food, the more AGEs are produced in the process. Foods that are baked until crispy usually contain a lot of AGEs," researchers said Forbes.
Our bodies can get too much of AGEs in two ways. One was from some food and when blood sugar levels are too high, such as diabetes or prediabetes.
Although research on the effects of AGEs' is still in its early stages, this study has shown that chemicals that are capable of damaging the immune system and causes the arteries to harden and problems with kidney function.
In addition, AGEs can also attack the collagen in the skin and cause arthritis by damaging the joints.

KOMPAS.com - Humans constantly strive to create a variety of advanced tools with the aim of making life easier, comfortable and enjoyable.
But in reality, the technology also has made a human being 'tortured'. Time to rest could mess, so many people in modern times become more frequent sleepiness.
That at least is reflected in the results of polls conducted by the National Sleep Foundation in the United States recently.
"Sleep and technology do not mix," said the polls show, the 2011 Sleep in America.
Russell Rosenberg, Ph.D., chief executive poll and director of The Atlanta School of Sleep Medicine and Technology, said the use of cell phones, computers and video games before bedtime and the middle of the night - as is often done by teenagers and children of today - has seized many once allotted time to rest.
"The poll this year to focus on technology and electronic equipment used by the people, the tools that are easy to find everywhere," he said.
In addition to revealing the influence of technology on the duration of sleep, the poll also finds that many Americans are not happy with the quality of their sleep. Carrying a third of adults in the U.S. get less than seven hours a day, and the fact it puts them at risk for serious health disorders.
This year, regular surveys conducted since 1991 by the National Sleep Foundation, it involves the 1508 respondents. Respondents were divided in into 4 age groups: 13-18, 19-29, 30-45 and 46-64.
Teens sleepy
Several important findings in the research of whom are teenagers reported most often sleepy. The case was around 22% in adolescents aged 13-18, followed by 16% at the age of 19-2 years, as many as 11% at age 30 to 45, and 9% at age 46-64.
Many respondents claimed not to knick or rarely sleep well at work or school day, with the highest percentage which is approximately 51% of teens ages 19-29.
The average duration of sleep was recorded about 7 hours for respondents aged adults, whereas adolescents reported little longer. Those aged 13-19 on average sleep for 7 hours 26 minutes on school days; aged 19-29 about 7 hours, while the age of 30-45 and 46-64 a little under 7 hours.
Technology bedtime drain
The use of electronic tools before bedtime become very commonplace. As many as 60 percent on average respondents always watched TV, 39% used mobile phones, 36% use a laptop or computer, 21% telephone, 8% of video games, and 29% music player device.
Experts have called for the use of these tools before bedtime reduced. 'There are two reasons for this. First is the exposure of light obtained from a computer screen or other device. Light can mengambat sending signals to the brain hormones that tell your body to rest. Hormone called melatonin. "Rosenberg said.
Another reason, said Rosenberg, bedtime became delayed because you are stuck in a fun using computers and other equipment.
About a quarter of respondents in the poll said they slept with storing the phone in bed and about 10% said they often woke up at least a few minutes in the middle of the night because they have to answer the telephone, sms or email. That was more often reported by younger respondents, ie 18% of respondents 13-19 and 20% of respondents aged 19-29.
Complaints sleepy
Due to lack of sleep, the respondents also reported complaints sleepy while driving. Half of the respondents age 19 -29 admitted at least once sleepy once a month. About 10 percent of adolescent and adult respondents admitted sleepy one or two times a week.
This fact seems in line with data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Drowsiness while driving was reported to cause more than 100,000 cases of traffic accidents each year and claimed 1550 lives.
Gulp caffeine
Meanwhile, on how to cope with sleepiness due to sleep deprivation, excessive use of caffeine and naps are often reported by respondents. On average, respondents can drink about three cups of caffeinated beverages daily.
Napping is another way by the respondents to cope with sleep deprivation. Nearly half of respondents ages 13-19 and 19-29 claimed a one-time napping on the day of work or school.

Kompas.com - If you fall into the category of stress-prone, be very careful in choosing a job! Working in the office of the less noticed was the welfare of their employees have an impact far worse for mental health rather than be unemployed.
This is revealed in a study by a team from The Australian National University, Canberra, Australia. In their survey revealed people who experienced the transition from unemployment to employees with salaries that do not satisfy the claim to more stress after work.
In addition to a fair and satisfactory wages, good employee welfare is measured from the stress on the job, career paths, flexible work hours, and good communication between superiors and subordinates.
"People who only see black and white, the unemployed and employees tend to feel that all jobs are created equal, when it is not so," said Joseph Grzywacz, community and family medicine specialists who conduct this research.
His research is based on a survey of more than 7,000 people in Australia for seven years, beginning in 2001. The respondents were also asked to fill out questionnaires about symptoms of depression or anxiety, as well as positive emotions such as calmness and happiness.
In general, people who have jobs feel more happy than unemployment. But when looking deeper, such as age, gender, education level, health status of the unemployed is better than people who work but with poor welfare.
People from both groups also showed a decrease of mental health from time to time.
It is expected to be a concern for the managers of corporate management because of stress, fatigue and anger are a result of dissatisfaction can make a person's emotions are not controlled.
There are several things that suggested by the research team to improve the welfare of its employees, among others, improve security in works by giving certainty to the status of contract employees.
"Companies should be able to make the rules flexible so that employees do not feel compelled to choose between work and family, for example, if a child is sick," said Grzywacz.

Kompas.com - If you are looking for tools supporting the latest sports, maybe you could consider something with four legs and a tail. "Tools" that's not a machine, but pet dogs.
Several studies have shown, a dog is more effective to motivate people to move because the dogs need roads regularly. The survey also revealed that dog owners be more diligent in exercising than those who do not care.
In the elderly, are known to be more diligent in their physical activity when accompanied by "the doggie" than if the company of humans.
Compared with humans, dogs are more consistent for the "exercise". In the study for 12 weeks to 54 elderly people who have dogs, known to those who choose the company of his dog to do regular exercise more than the company of others.
"We need to exercise, so does your dog. Therefore, a dog can relieve your lazy to move," said Rebecca A. Johnson, director of human-animal interaction research at the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine.
Last week, researchers from Michigan State University reported that among the dog owners who regularly take the pet for a walk, 60 percent fall into the category of moderate to heavy exercise scale. The majority of dog owners also exercise 30 minutes five times a week. In comparison, only a third of dog owners who do not exercise with a similar duration and intensity.
The study was conducted by observing the habits of 5900 people in Michigan sports, including the 2170 dog owners. They found two-thirds of dog owners that bring his favorite animals to walk on a regular basis, with a duration of at least 10 minutes.
Dogs do have a unique behavior. "Walking the streets have become their needs and they will not leave you unless you also go walking together," said Dr Revees, an epidemiologist from Michigan who is also the owner of two dogs.
However, not all dog owners automatically become diligent exercise. About 40 percent said they were releasing their dog in the yard so no need to bring their pets is a walk, 10 percent said hiring dog walkers, and the rest answering no time to walk with her dog.
