Removing the cuss words are not a good thing, but this behavior can be useful if done at the right time. The new study shows swearing can help fight pain.
The scientists from Keele University found that letting someone out swear words could have the effect of a strong painkiller, especially for people who do not usually do.
To test this theory, some student volunteers involved with putting his hand in a bucket of ice cold water as he threw the words cursing repeatedly.
Researchers found that participants were able to keep his hand in the ice while longer if he threw the words, this is because the condition is to build ties between cursing with increased pain tolerance.
In addition, researchers also found effects of pain relief will be 4 times more likely to work well in normal volunteers who did not cast bad words. The research team believes the effect of pain reduction occurred because the cursing triggered the response of 'fight or flight'.
Heart rate will be accelerated when the participants repeat the words of invective which showed increased aggression that would reduce the weaknesses of the body. This condition would make a person more tolerant of pain.
These results prove that the issue swear words not only trigger an emotional response, but also physical. This might explain why the practice continues to grow today.
"Removing the words swearing is a nearly universal phenomenon in humans for centuries," said Dr Richard Stephens, as quoted by the Telegraph, Tuesday (04/19/2011).
Dr Stephen said his research shows utter swear words is the result of an emotional response in the face of stress response similar to the 'flight or fight', that is how the body reacts to the threat or danger.
But this should be done without offending people.
Super germs (superbug) more often found in hospitals because the antibiotics more frequently used at the venue. These germs are very stubborn because it does not work anymore with antibiotics. Unfortunately not all hospitals perform preventive efforts by arranging the pattern of the germs that are recalcitrant.
One case that proves that posed by hospital superbugs are the NDM-1, a type of bacterium that infects the British people after the treatment in New Delhi, India. The bacteria are resistant to existing antibiotics, so called superbugs.
Prof. Iwan Dwiprahasto, pharmacologist from the University of Gajah Mada said the germs such as NDM-1 is likely to emerge if the hospital does not have germs and resistance patterns. Without such patterns, the use of antibiotics tends to be irrational and might not be useful.
"Without a pattern of germs, doctors now prescribe antibiotics blind and based on experience. If symptoms such as these, most likely this bacteria," Prof Iwan ungkan in the inauguration of Indonesian Epidemology Clinical and Evidence Based Medicine (EBM-ICE) Network in the Health Ministry building on Tuesday ( 04/19/2011).
If the antibiotics was based only on experience, then the resistance would be understood if there is prolonged Hospitalization or prolonged hospitalization. Once the disease does not heal, a new antibiotic is replaced with a more powerful though sometimes it's too late.
Ideally, according to Prof. Iwan, each hospital has a pattern of resistance to germs and evaluated every certain period of time eg 3 months. If in 3-6 months found that there are germs that are resistant to certain antibiotics, its use in hospitals should be stopped.
But the main obstacle to compile such a pattern is nothing but a less memadahi facilities in some hospitals. According to Prof. Iwan, most hospitals type A and B had a microbiology laboratory for this purpose while type C hospital that have not been many.
Prof. Iwan added, other efforts that can be done to prevent the resistance of germs is to avoid using third-line antibiotics or third-line antibiotic for indications that are not necessary. Sometimes, antibiotics are really for emergency conditions in a serious injury is also used for mild infections, so prone to trigger resistance to germs.
If not prevented, the bacteria resistance to antibiotics is expected to become a global pandemic in the near future and create the conditions like in the era before antibiotics are found. Type of the more resistant germs, while the antibiotic research has never produced a new discovery
Houston, During a mission in space, the astronauts should maintain good health so as not to fall ill. According to research, medicine brought from Earth would not be effective after exposure to various kinds of radiation in space.
The reduced effectiveness or efficacy of drugs in space triggered by environmental influences. Factors affecting participating include radiation, aircraft engine vibration, minimal gravity, temperature and low humidity and exposure to carbon dioxide.
This influence is revealed in research Johnson Space Center, which is a research institute under NASA. Drugs used in the study consisted of 35 species, packaged in 4 boxes and included in several missions into space for a duration varying between 13 days to 28 months.
Arriving on Earth, the drugs were examined kandunan active substances in the laboratory. The longer was in outer space, the more particles of active substance which was changed into other compounds that did not work anymore treat disease.
As a comparison, poeneliti also placed four boxes contain the same types of drugs at the headquarters of Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. Entirely stored in controlled conditions, so that the stability of drugs in it are not disturbed environmental factors.
Normally, drugs will change the chemical structure gradually during storage and will lose its efficacy after the passing of time expired. When carried into space, the structural changes occurring more rapidly than on Earth.
"The decline in the quality of medicine while in space occur more quickly than the expiration date listed. This proves the unique environmental factors in space affect the stability of the drug," said the researchers.
