"The high level of activity associated with a lower risk of depression," said lead researcher Michel Lucas, quoted by the Daily Mail. 

At the same time, respondents were asked to report any cases of clinical depression or the medication taken to treat depression. During the analysis, the researchers took into account aspects of health and lifestyle associated with depression, including weight, smoking and other diseases.

Male Breast Cancer More Deadly

Breast cancer is not just stalking her. Although the risk of small experience, men who develop breast cancer tend to have higher severity than women with breast cancer. Research led by Mikael Hartman of the National University of Singapore, said, despite the opportunities he has breast cancer less than one percent, but for those who already have it, a very high risk of death. 

Hartman and his team analyzed data on cancer cases in 1970 in Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Singapore, Geneva, and Switzerland. The data include 460 thousand men and 2,700 women with breast cancer.   Based on the analysis of these data, the number of men who survived the disease for five years pascadiagnosis as much as 72 percent. That figure is less than the number of women who are able to survive as much as 78 percent. 

"Men generally just realized there was a lump in her breast through an indirect examination of the time went to the doctor, in contrast to women who realized there was a problem earlier in the breasts," said Hartman told Reuters. 

"Breast cancer in men is rare, but the risk is still there. So if a man finds a lump or something was wrong with her ​​breasts, should immediately see a doctor," Hartman added. The exposure in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, the researchers say that men generally take several months before realizing the symptoms of breast cancer. A common cause is an increase in estrogen due to certain diseases or abnormalities of the gene. 

The U.S. National Cancer Institute data show that the majority of men who developed breast cancer aged 60-70 years. "Not surprisingly, men who suffer from cancer generally are at an advanced stage," said Susan Dent Hospital Cancer Centre, Ottawa, Canada.

Why Vertigo Attacks Appear

You often faint or lose your balance? Perhaps, you got vertigo. Although not lethal, vertigo can be a symptom of serious diseases such as high blood pressure, tumors, and stroke. In fact, it could trigger a fatal accident when the attack came suddenly.

Vertigo occurs when a person feels himself or the surrounding environment is moving or spinning. In fact, often accompanied by severe nausea and vomiting. Dr M Kurniawan, SPS, Asri Hospital neurologist, says that the vertigo commonly afflict the elderly. "The incidence of vertigo will continue to increase in the elderly. Noted, the incidence of vertigo at the age of 40 years was 40 percent," he said during the inauguration of the Hospital Clinic of Integrated Vertigo Asri.

In old age, vertigo often occurs due to disturbances in the blood vessels to the brain, ear abnormalities in internal organs, and neurological disorders. Although common in the elderly, does not mean that young people may not experience it. "Typically, vertigo occurs in younger people because of trauma or had been hit," he added.

Vertigo is also likely to strike women than men. "According to the 1956 study, the incidence rate in women 48 percent, while in men 37 percent," said Dr Jenny Bashiruddin, PhD, and Asri ENT specialist RS Sub Division Head of ENT Department of Neurology Medical Faculty UI. There are two types of vertigo, the vertigo that comes from the peripheral or inner ear or brain and central parts. However, the majority occur in the peripheral, the vertigo debris. 

Vertigo debris arising from rock crystal deposits (debris) which are formed of calcium carbonate in one of the canals in balance tool (utricle). Naturally, the debris formed from the gelatinous substances in the equipment balance. However, because the specific gravity exceeds the fluid in the utricle (endolymph), debris can migrate and settle on one of the canals around the equipment balance. 

Then, what happens vertigo? Balance human instrument is dynamic so it is easily aroused by the movement of the head. If we rotate the head, the fluid endolymph stimulates the tool will also move the balance to adapt. "If there is sediment and debris, the endolymph fluid will experience a greater thrust and balance tool with the power to stimulate greater stimulation. So that people who experience vertigo would feel like a spin," said Dr. Entjep Hadjar, Sp ENT-TOS.

Solutions Without Surgery  

First, a solution to deal with it is the operating expenditure debris. But apparently, many complications occur because the utricle is the hardest bone in the human body.In the process, discovered a way more practical non-surgical patients by chance a French nationals who want to go to the doctor in the UK. 

The patient experienced vertigo incredible so he decided to go to England for treatment by using the ferry even though he could not seat. He was forced to sit down with his head on the ship's engine.Arriving at the port of London, all of a sudden vertigo which he felt had been lost. Intrigued, he told the doctor. Of the story, doctors analyze and draw conclusions that the ship's engine vibrations received by the patient is able to solve the tool keseimbangnya debris.  

From this background, the doctor develops a treatment method called Hallpike Manouver consisting of two ways to destroy and remove debris precipitated by usingvibrator, then the patient will be asked to perform certain head positions to bring back into the utricle of broken stone, called repositioning Canalith Therapy (CRT). 

"This method is able to cure 87 percent of patients in the two meetings. Thereafter, patients are encouraged to exercise balance, and sleep with high pillows. If sportsis done routinely, vertigo will not recur, "he said. Because the debris vertigo is only one kind of vertigo, the doctor's diagnosis is necessary to know the type of vertigo that occurs. Not only that, the doctor's diagnosis is also important to find out more about the disease is going to remember only a symptom of vertigo. 

No wonder if, in the treatment of vertigo should be integrated through ENT, neurological, and internal medicine. Not just in one area of ​​treatment. Unfortunately, not all hospitals provide integrated services so that patients are often confused with a disease that never healed. 

Therefore, if you have symptoms of vertigo, be a smart patient by asking for an integrated examination of the overall service that can be more easily overcome the disease, treatment costs would not beswell.

Stop Smoking Can be Easy If It's Got The Stroke

The study showed that brain damage from stroke can remove the dependence on the nature of cigarettes. According to research conducted by Prof. Rosa Suner University of Girona in Spain, not all smokers who had a stroke have such an effect. This effect appears only when a stroke occurs in the insular cortex, the part of the brain that regulates emotions. 

This is evidenced when Prof Suner observed 110 patients in the Josep Trueta Hospital with a history of stroke as a current smoker. Together with his team, Prof Suner observe the patient from being treated up to 1 year after discharge from hospital. By the time the patient leaves the hospital, the researchers reported that there were 76 patients who decide to quit smoking. But at the end of the study or about 1 year later, only 44 to successfully defend his cigarette-free status. 

Prof Suner found differences in patterns of stroke in patients who successfully quit smoking, compared with a failure. According to him, the opportunity to successfully quit smoking 2 times greater if the stroke suffered in the insular cortex. In addition to the location of stroke, the initial motivation of the patient also determine the success of smoking cessation. Patients who had planned to quit smoking since have not had a stroke had a 2 times greater chance of succeeding than those who have recently had a plan after a stroke. 

"We conclude, biological and psychological factors can affect a person's smoking status after a stroke," said Prof. Suner in a report published recently in the journal Stroke, was quoted as saying by AP. The results of this study certainly do not advise smokers to have a stroke just prior to boost the success of the intention to quit smoking. If you still have the option to quit smoking now, what's the first stroke will have to wait?

3. Feeling restless
Hands sweating, heart palpitations accompanied by feelings of anxiety is an indication that you have an overdose of caffeine. "Caffeine can worsen stress and depression because of sedative substances interfere with the brain chemical called adenosine," said Palinski.
