Tips in case of nuclear radiation

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 09:00:00 +0000

After the earthquake that happened in Japan a few days ago. Japan must face the problem of nuclear radiation in the country. The situation in nuclear reactors Fukushima, Japan, is still uncertain. Almost every day there are new from the reactor explosion. Prime Minister of Japan Naoko Kan, alarming explosion will continue to leak fluid with levels of highly radioactive nuclear which could contaminate the local people.

The amount of radiation emitted Fukushima range in 400mSv every hour. But the strength of emission decreases after noon, according to Japanese government officials said. MiliSievert (mSv) is the official term for radioactive emission units that could endanger health. Someone received a normal jet ranged between 3 mSv per year, with the addition that can still be tolerated as much as 1 mSv per year.

The employees at the Fukushima nuclear center which is currently trying his best to prevent even greater damage, face major health risks.

Low-dose radioactive jet will cause irritation to the skin. While the extreme beam can cause cancer and death. In the event of an accident in which the escape of radioactive emission, a number of basic steps need to be enforced.

While additional steps, such as evacuation, depending on the distance and the severity of the disaster. What is important to monitor and follow the instructions from a radio transmitter and public health disaster.

Here are some tips to overcome the nuclear radiation:
- Close all windows and doors
- Close all the facilities that can carry air from the outside such as air conditioning (airco) or ventilation holes.
- Living in a windowless room or basement is the safest
- Do not forget to bring a flashlight, radio or television with batteries, medical box, food and water (bottled or canned), and medicines
- Do not remove pets (living in)
- Drying clothes in
- Monitor the situation by listening to television or radio transmitter disaster (local)

Iodine tablets
Fukushima nuclear center has so far only emit radioactive iodine-131 and cesium-137. The Japanese government considers iodine tablets to be distributed to residents in affected areas. This is to protect the thyroid gland. Drinking iodine tablets will be able to protect the thyroid gland so that this organ will not be able to absorb more radioactive.

Iodine tablets are very effective if taken before or several hours after exposure to radiation. These tablets provide protection for approximately 24 hours. For the cesium-137, no patron. If severe damage occurs in the reactor room or a cooling pond for a nuclear fuel which is already in use, then the possibility of substance uranium and plutonium can be separated. But so far, it has not happened.

Know the influenza disease

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 15:40:00 +0000

Erratic weather does make a lot of people got the flu.
Flu is usually also accompanied by fever.

Indirectly when we had the flu really affect the mindset and actions to be taken. Doing any thing to be disturbed or not the spirit.

Influenza, commonly referred to as the flu or respiratory infections due to other viruses, an infectious disease caused primarily by the family of Orthomyxoviridae RNA viruses that affect birds and mammals. The name influenza comes from the Italian: influenza, meaning: "affect". (Latin: influentia).

In more serious cases, influenza causes pneumonia, which can cause death, especially for young people and parents.

To fend off and fight the flu virus from the body, many myths in circulation is believed many people, here are myths:
1. If rain or finished shampoo, wet hair will catch cold.
Fact: This is not true, because someone will get the flu if the body resistance decreases. So if someone finished the rain or wash but his durability will be maintained, then the person will not get the flu.

2. Drinks / food / warm steam to relieve symptoms of flu (blocked nose)
Fact: This is not entirely true, indeed the type of food / beverage or a warm steam resulted in relaxation of airway wall tissue and the melting of mucus that clogged nasal symptoms temporarily disappear. After consuming food / drink warm is the flu-like symptoms (blocked nose) will reappear.

3. Body covered / wrapped in a blanket in patients with flu.
Fact: This is not true, because the body wrap by using a blanket to inhibit or evaporation and release of heat from the body, so the fever / heat does not go down.

4. Eliminate heat in patients with flu-through method compresses with cold water or ice.
Fact: This is not entirely true, especially in patients with flu for children by using a cold compress or ice water, can lower the body temperature is too drastic may lead to decreased metabolism so that impede the healing process of the flu.

5. Consuming lemon and ginger, are believed to overcome the interference in the throat symptoms of flu.
Fact: This is not entirely correct because, although the ginger and lime juice have the effect of warm and thin the mucus so that the throat flu sufferer feels good and comfortable, but the situation was only temporary. Because after they finish eating ginger and lime in some time later, the symptoms of itchy throat and a lot of mucus, could arise again.

In essence, that the myths that developed in the community as mentioned above can not help cure flu symptoms and even of course if the flu, so it can interfere with our activities. From the above myth is that there is truth (2.4 and 5) remains to be done to relieve the symptoms of flu.

But certainly necessary way of overcoming flu-like symptoms following matters:

Increase endurance by eating nutritious foods (vegetables and fruits), adequate rest, and drink water at least 2 liters / day.
Cold medicine to cope with the symptoms of flu. Appropriate cold medicine, namely that contains:

Sun bathing can prevent heart disease

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 15:52:00 +0000

Too much dwell in the house or office can make you experience a variety of diseases
including the heart due to lack of vitamin D. But with a solar shower in the morning and afternoon of heart disease can be prevented.

Because the sun is the main source for vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency plays a role in various diseases including cancer, heart disease, hypertension, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, depression, arthritis, osteoporosis, and more.

Heart disease, stroke, cancer is a deadly disease that has killed millions of people in the world.

With a shower or bask under the sun at 10 am or after hours 15 (3 pm) could be one way of preventing the deadly disease, said Dr. L. Toruan Phaidon, MM

And avoid the sun between the hours of 10:00 to 14:00 due to exposure to ultra violet rays from the sun at that time, including highest and has a very large solar energy.

There was a study conducted by Giovannucci and colleagues published in the Archives of Internal Medicine in June 2008. The study showed that men with low vitamin D levels had 2.42 times greater risk of heart attack.

Data American Heart Association in 2008, in the United States shows every year there are 920,000 people affected by heart attacks and 157,000 of them died of a heart attack.

In one study, Holick and his colleagues found that women who experience vitamin D deficiency, are at increased risk of colon cancer by 253 percent.

In a study published in September 2008 in the journal Stroke, examined 3316 patients suspected of having problems with the coronary artery during 7.75 years. As a result, it turns out to each of reduction in levels of vitamin D, there is an increased risk of stroke by 86 percent.

Levels of vitamin D is referred to in this paper is vitamin D levels in the blood 25 (OH) D levels is normally about 30-50 ng / ml, said Dr. Phaidon.

Technically, vitamin D is actually not a vitamin. According to the chemical structures of vitamin D has its own shape. Derivative of vitamin D, calcitriol, is actually a secosteroid hormone, which is the key to open the padlock of the human genome. Human genome has 2700 binding site for calcitriol, which all binding site is involved in almost all major human diseases.

For people who live in countries that rarely get 4 seasons of the sun, you should consume 1000 IU of vitamin D in winter and when there is no sun. And those who are living in a tropical place with enough sun bathing, while roads in the morning.

Only by 20-30 minutes sunbathing, we have got 10,000 IU of vitamin D. Free of God. Another effect is the optimal fat burning body when we walk in the morning on an empty stomach.

According to Dr. Phaidon, very concerned if people who live in tropical regions with abundant sunshine should be deficient in vitamin D, especially those living in urban areas.

Bask make her longevity.

Most women crave pure white skin, so that not a few who always avoid the sun. But they do not understand the benefits of sunlight behind it.

Whereas dark-skinned women because sun is often more fortunate, because it has a better chance to live long.

It turned out that sunlight is the main energy source to convert provitamin D contained in the skin tissue into vitamin D. In humans, nearly 90 percent of the formation of vitamin D was facilitated by the sun.

Vitamins are not just good for bones but also can prevent many deadly diseases. Among blood clots in the legs or called vein thromboses, as noted professor of oncology at Lund University in Sweden, Hakan Olsson.

The disease is mostly found in women and killed no fewer than 25,000 people each year. In a study conducted by Prof. Olsson of 40,000 women, revealed that vein thromboses appear more often in winter when the sun rarely appeared.

"Many believe frequent sunbathing could increase the risk of skin cancer. But the increase was not greater than other benefits, so that in general women who frequently sunbathe have a chance live longer," said Prof. Olsson was quoted as saying of Dailymail, Sunday (5 / 12 / 2010).

Another benefit of the sun according to Prof. Olsson is to prevent diabetes. Still based on research he did, Prof. Olsson concluded the diagnosis of diabetes in women is more often given in the winter than in summer.

However, other cancer experts to assess the results of research that has been presented in the Swedish Society of Medicine forum is too excessive. Ed Yong, a researcher from the Cancer Research UK warned that the threat of skin cancer should not be underestimated.

"Sunlight is good for humans and vitamin D are also good for bone health. But no evidence was strong enough that the benefits of vitamin D could offset the risk of skin cancer. The most important thing is to prevent skin cancer, make sure the skin is not burning when sunbathing," said Yong .

How to handle minor wounds or injuries.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 16:37:00 +0000

Injury or injury can happen anytime and anywhere. Sometimes the injury can be caused by the negligence or fault himself.

Here there are 4 injured by themselves, can be quite minor injuries, but also seen the level of his injury, whether minor injuries or serious injury. What I post here are just a few examples of minor injuries caused by yourself or negligence of ourselves, and the first step in handling.

If it is classified as severe injuries, then let the experts handle the doctor, or take it to the nearest hospital.

Here it is four injured by himself, as quoted from Menshealth:
1. Chipped
These injuries can be experienced when ripe or cut something using a knife or scissors. Usually this happens on Mother-housewife in the kitchen while cooking. To overcome an injury like this, if the blood that came out not too much, take a clean towel or sterile gauze and place over the wound to apply pressure. But if the wound dianggota another body, then lift the body until it is higher than the heart to slow blood flow.

One more thing, if the fabric is wet with blood, add more cloth until the blood comes out stops or less. But if the blood comes out too much until the resulting sense of thirst or the body becomes cold, immediately to the hospital to avoid a shock, because sometimes there are people shocked when I saw blood.

Mistakes are often made public is pouring water on the wound for a few seconds, then closed with a bandage until the next day. This condition can increase the pain and if it smells rotten to show signs of infection.

2. Burnt
If parts are injured as a result of burns has a diameter of less than 3 inches (7cm), the stream wound with water for 5 minutes and do not directly provide an antiseptic cream. At least wait until 1 hour or until the skin becomes cold, or until the burning sensation is lost, is to prevent infection with the cream.

But if the degree of the burn has been increased, immediately seek medical help and do not try to pull the clothes that stuck to the skin or mengompresnya with cold water because it can lead to shock and hypothermia.

3. Exposed to bee stings
Bee stings usually cause pain and the longer the shock attached to the skin, the more it will hurt. The first step is to remove a bee sting by using tweezers or a nail. One thing is certain never to suck up the sting to remove toxins, because it will make things worse.

If exposed to 20 or more stings, rashes arising other parts of the body and difficulty breathing, possibly an allergic reaction. In extreme cases should be handled by a doctor, or take it to the nearest hospital.

4. Sprain or fall
If someone could move in the fall joint or bone without any discomfort and there is no deformity, it is probably not an injury break. Nothing wrong to give an ice pack wrapped in a bag or towel. This condition is to reduce the swelling and inflammation. But if the sound of moving or experiencing bone deformity, get medical help to deal with them.

Well from various injuries over a minor injury, but sometimes if we are wrong in dealing with these injuries can be fatal. Better, if you do not understand or know about the handling of injury or wound, then immediately take it to the nearest hospital, let the experts handle it.

Patients with cancer must often see the scenery.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 10:24:00 +0000

Some cancer treatment procedures are long and sometimes make patients feel tortured with pain. But by looking at pictures of natural scenery, cancer patients can reduce pain. Is it true that in this way the patient can be treated? Wow ... this good health tips.

This does not mean that cancer patients have to walk far to see the natural scenery. Patients do not even need to leave her bed.

Simply by showing pictures of beautiful scenery and broadcast the sounds of nature like singing birds or the wind rustling in the bed patient, is sufficient to reduce pain for many patients, such as expressed Noah Lechtzin, researchers from the Department of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore , U.S..

To find it, researchers from Johns Hopkins University has implemented a series of tests to analyze the patients who underwent bone marrow aspiration and biopsy or bone marrow aspiration and biopsy (BMAB), known as the most painful form of cancer treatment.

In BMAB a large needle inserted into the back of the pelvic bone and bone marrow pulled out. Sometimes it may take up to ten minutes and often performed only with anesthesia (anesthesia) local.

In some cancer patients, BMAB is the least desirable experience. To that end, many techniques have done to help cope with pain such as hypnosis or sedation.

And now with the latest findings, see the natural scenery can be a pain reduction technique in cancer patients.

In that study, researchers only use images sights and sounds of nature and landscape images and sounds of the city to measure the level of pain during the procedure using the Hopkins Pain Rating Instrument.

As a result, pictures of landscapes and sounds of nature can significantly reduce pain patients. But it does not apply to images and sounds of the city.

Pain not only affects the patient's body but is also associated with the mind that provide a calming effect.

All brands of instant noodle in Indonesia is safe to eat, said BPOM RI

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 18:48:00 +0000

Food and Drugs Supervisory Agency (or in the Indonesian language is called: BPOM = "Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan") has conducted testing of all instant noodles products circulating in Indonesian. The result of all the listed brands are safe for consumption.

"Based on laboratory test results, concluded that instant noodle products listed and circulated in Indonesia to meet the applicable standards and requirements, and declared safe for consumption," said Dra Kustantinah, Apt, M.App.Sc, Head BPOM RI.

BPOM has conducted surveillance sampling and testing of various brands of instant noodles from the market in 21 provinces related to security issues instant noodle preservative.

The test results on the content of methyl p-hydroxybenzoate (methylparaben) in 158 samples of soy sauce in the noodles is: 96 samples containing methylparaben does not exceed 250 mg / kg (maximum allowable limit), while 62 samples did not contain methylparaben.

In addition, during the first semester of 2010, has been making and testing a number of 323 items listed instant noodle samples from circulation. The test results showed that the soy sauce samples that are in one package with instant noodles, containing methylparaben does not exceed 250 mg / kg.

BPOM set the maximum use of methylparaben 250 mg / kg product, while the CAC set a limit on the maximum use of the methylparaben is at 1000 mg / kg of product.

Allimentarius Codex Standards Committee (CAC) and scientific studies on health risks, and in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Health No. 722/1988 on Food Supplement Ingredients, that methylparaben can be used as a preservative for the product or soy sauce in Indonesia.

In addition, based on the database of the Select Committee on Generally Recognize As Safe (GRAS) Substances Reviews, note that there is no evidence of danger of the use of methylparaben as a preservative in processed food is used throughout the standards and not exceed the maximum limit allowed.

"POM RI in accordance with the duties and responsibilities have been and continue to take post-market surveillance, such as focusing on processed food samples randomly and testing labs, including instant noodles, which circulate in the market," said Dra Kustantinah.

Saliva affect whether or not the food delicious.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 16 Oct 2010 06:37:00 +0000

Taste everyone in terms of food is always different despite eating the same food. There is a feel good but there is also a feeling normal. It turned out delicious food at least not from the food but a decisive saliva.

In spit (saliva) is an enzyme that is responsible to assess whether the food is good or not. The perception of each person whether foods such as soft texture, sandy or crunchy it is on salivary amylase.

Recent research from the Monell Center reported that the perception of each person against the texture of the starch consumed was formed by the variability of oral enzyme activity, known as salivary amylase.

In a study reported in the journal PLoS ONE reveals changes in consistency of starch in the mouth is directly related to salivary amylase activity.

Differences in perceptions of food starch flavor is what affects a person to a food craze. This is because people just want to eat foods you like or have a texture that fits with his tongue.

Starch foods such as wheat, potatoes, corn and rice is the main component of the food consumed by most people, as well as a source of calories by 40-60 percent.

Amylase enzyme released in saliva helps break down starch into simple sugar molecules, so that these molecules will be absorbed into the bloodstream that can affect blood glucose levels.

In the study also showed that the enzyme activity of salivary amylase is also influenced by genetic factors.

"Overall this means that foods with different starch content will be perceived very differently by someone. In addition, it also depends on how many salivary amylase they produce," said Paul AS Breslin, as the sensory geneticist, as quoted by the ScienceDaily, Saturday (16/10/2010).

Previous studies have shown that a person can have 2-15 copies of AMY1, the gene coding for salivary amylase. Could therefore everyone has a different gene.

Further study will be conducted to determine the relationship between AMY1 gene copy number with a liking for certain foods containing starch.

Why heart disease caused the death ...??

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 18:57:00 +0000

A man who never had a heart condition died suddenly of a heart attack.
Why is it so ...?? Because the man had a body weight above 100 kg.
So whether obesity can be caused fatal heart attack?

People who are overweight are always susceptible to interference at the heart pumps so that the pump function of heart on the downside.

Indeed there are facts that show that obesity can cause thickening of the wall of the left ventricle of the heart (left ventricular hypertrophy / LVH). This wall thickening over time will lead to heart problems.

Obesity is also associated with metabolic syndrome X, namely metabolic disorders that may cause abnormal lipid (fat cells) seriously. Fat cells have unique features, these cells will collect a large amount of fat molecules so that would make the surface area of the arteries and veins become narrower.

As a result of heart and blood flow to the heart is reduced which makes the organs work harder to pump blood throughout the body. This condition is triggered fatal condition called cardiac arrest.

While the American Heart Association (AHA) noted obesity as a condition in which there is excess body fat, especially around the waist which can cause health problems. Side effects of obesity include increased blood cholesterol, triglycerides and lower good cholesterol (HDL).

Likewise with increased blood pressure in obese people make the risk of diabetes becomes larger, this condition will increase the risk of heart problems.

For coronary heart disease, symptoms that often arises is chest pain that usually spreads to the left hand to the back of the chest.

Pain is like a pressed and lasted more than 10 minutes. Patients may also experience shortness of breath that will worsen if climbing stairs or hard physical exercise.

Heart attacks were not always started from chest pain, because heartburn can also be an early symptom of a heart attack.

This condition can occur if there is narrowing of the coronary arteries that supply the bottom of the heart muscle that is located close to the solar plexus.

While chest pain is not just the property of heart disease, because it can also be caused by upper gastrointestinal disorders (GERD), pulmonary disorders, chest muscles and joints in the sternum.

Well to prevent heart disease can be a way to reduce risk factors such as controlling weight, blood pressure, blood sugar levels if you have diabetes, cholesterol levels, reduce fatty foods, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, quitting smoking and alcohol as well as most major Exercising regularly.

Caffeine lowers the risk of heart disease

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 18:09:00 +0000

Modern times almost every war in this world suffering from heart disease at age 40-50 yr. Heart disease can be caused by such excess consumption of caffeine. But according to a recent study, it proved that the consumption of coffee and tea may reduce the risk of heart disease .... Is it true?

Yes it is true, according to a study conducted by the Journal of the American Heart Association revealed that drinking coffee and tea every day can protect the body from various heart and liver disease. As quoted from femalefirst, those who drank two to four cups of coffee or tea each day may lower the risk of the disease to 20%.

The research was also supported by other studies. British Heart Foundation said that eating the right coffee and tea do not harm the body, even reduce the risk of getting and dying from heart disease.

In a study in the Netherlands which involved 40,000 people concluded that people who consume more than six cups of coffee per day may reduce the risk of heart disease. Also consume coffee and tea can also prevent the body from other serious diseases such as stroke and cancer.

7 types of animals that are beneficial to human health world

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 21:15:00 +0000

Maybe some of you there who do not know about the types of animals that benefit human health. I also just know it ...

As quoted from Dailymail 09/26/2010, Various types of animals has a major contribution to world health. Starting from the scary shark until the snails are often shunned because of mucus rather disgusting.

Here are 7 kinds of animals:
1. Green mussel (Perna canaliculus)
These animals eicosatetraenoic acid containing compounds that have been scientifically proven to cope with joint pain. While in New Zealand which is the original habitat, these shells have been used to treat arthritis since 100 years ago.

2. Shark
Chondroitin compounds found in the body of this marine predator can stimulate cartilage formation and overcoming the pain and arthritis. In supplement form, these compounds can be consumed on a regular basis to prevent osteoarthritis.

3. Cow
Not just meat and milk from cows that can be utilized, collagen or connective tissue between skin and meat is also useful. Many marketed in supplement form, point to relieve joint pain.

4. Stag
The outermost part of deer antlers is also good to maintain joints and reduce pain in that section. High content of calcium which can reduce inflammation and make cartilage tissue more elastic so that the joints.

5. Snails
Benefits of snail slime for the treatment of skin and broken bones, first discovered by the breeder snails in Chile. Mucus is rich in allantonin, collagen and elastin, which also serves as snail shell repair itself.

6. Silkworms
A study in Germany State Hospital revealed, the enzyme produced by silkworms serrapeptase effectively relieve pain and swelling by 50 percent within 3 days after surgery. Enzymes are working with inflammation and tissue break down dead tissue in humans.

7. Pig
Well this makes my surprise, it turns Pigs also bring benefits to human health world.
In pig heart valves have a size almost sasma like in humans that can be transplanted to overcome the damage to heart valves in humans. Among other animals, pig heart valve trombogenik or at least not easily cause blood clotting.

Another similarity between pigs to humans can be found on insulin. Therefore, diabetes treatment revolution is also directed at the utilization of pig insulin.

Do not be mistaken assumption about the first title above. Not because eating ice cream then we may be exposed to the disease, but the disease was caused by a food allergy.

Do not underestimate due to food allergies can be fatal to death. Do you have a food allergy? Ok .. we refer to this story,

Because have allergies, a girl must be in a coma for four weeks and now realized his body became disabled and unable to speak.

As reported by TheSun, 25 September, the tragic events experienced by Rachel Devine, 25-year-old Irish girl. In the summer of last year, Rachel and Chris Mee (27 years) went on holiday to Turkey.

Because the hot air while enjoying a holiday in his second day, she bought two scoop ice cream for herself and her partner in an ice cream shop. Rachel did not know that ice cream contains goat's milk as a child who later revealed he had goat's milk allergy.

Do you know the hottest and coldest parts of the human body? All coordination of cells and organs to make the body perform functions that are perfect. Apparently the body temperature is not spread evenly.

Body temperature is affected by blood flow leading to a particular body part. The more blood that flows into the body, then that part will be getting warm. Conversely, if the less it will be getting cold.

As reported by eHow, with infrared shots of the human body is the warmest part of the body:

1. Genital area (genital)
2. Chest
3. Armpits and head

Meanwhile, the coldest part of the human body are:

1. Toe
2. Foot
3. Hand

Cold parts of the body is part of the body at least get the blood supply. The tip or toe is the most rapid part of the body feel cold, because it is the most distant from the heart, the blood supply.

In addition to blood flow, body temperature also depends on body position. Suppose someone who is sitting or bending the legs, the toes will feel much cooler than people who were standing.

That caused a certain body positions to make blood flow to parts of the body become blocked and make it cooler than the body part you can easily reach the blood vessels.

A good way to cope with temperature changes in the body is by doing some light stretching, walking quickly, touching the water is warm or alter the position of the body for blood flow to run smoothly.

In fact, can keep it easier and cheaper than the already dealing with medical treatment. "Better to prevent than cure."

Specialists said obstetrics and diseases womb, essentially in the vaginal tract flora-functioning normal flora produces lactic acid which will maintain the vagina's natural pH levels and is useful to kill all bacterial, viruses, and fungi that enter into the reproductive tract.

The habit of cleaning the vagina with various chemical and soap-liquid soap in fact can kill the normal flora flora-lactic acid was therefore no longer in production. This resulted in disruption of pH or acidity of the vagina.

Natural Antibiotic Development Setbacks

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 22:50:00 +0000

Bacterial infection is immune various types of drugs is a global problem faced by developed countries and developing countries. Thousands of people have been infected and died because there is no medicine that can save him.

In Ursula Theuretzbacher of the Austrian Centre for Anti-infective Agents said one obstacle to developing new antibiotics is a lack of support from the drug industry. The direction of development of new drugs in the industry are often not in line with the needs of the medical world.

"People should have a role to fill that gap, so there are no funds for at least the early stages of research and development," said Dr Theuretzbacher when speaking in the opening of the Interscience Conference on
Antimicrobial Agents and chemotherapy (ICAAC).

Dr Theuretzbacher adding that he is proposing a partnership scheme between the private sector with the public. Scheme that will direct funds from the community to fund research and development of new antibiotics.

He also suggested the existence of more stringent regulations regarding the use of antibiotics. As is known, one of the causes of the emergence of drug resistant bacteria is antibiotic use is excessive and irrational.

Meanwhile, Dr. Gary Noel representing a pharmaceutical company admitted a lack of scientific research on antibiotics. In the last 10 years, the number of such research have declined by 50 percent.

Based on the research done, there are currently around 50 new drug molecules that will be developed to overcome the infection. Of this amount, only about 10 percent actually show promising developments.

"When there are new drugs that arrive at the final stages of development, still it took two to four years for bsia used by the patient," says Dr. Noel is quoted from Ninemsn, Tuesday (14/09/2010).

Antibiotic development issues into the main discussion in the meeting of infectious disease experts that took place in Boston between 12 to 15 September 2010. Approximately 12 000 participants of the meeting warned that the threat of shortages of antibiotics can bring men back to the era before penicillin was discovered.

World Health Organization, WHO has recently issued new warnings related to the existence of Metallo-lactamase gene-1 (NDM-1) which can make bacteria resistant to all types of antibiotics. Journal Lancet reported that the bacteria containing these genes has infected 37 British citizens.
