AIDS Like Illness is Not Contagious

AIDS like illness is not contagious. Scientists identify new news mysterious illness that has symptoms similar to AIDS even though the person is not infected with HIV. The disease is found in some people in Asia and the United States.

AIDS-like illness symptoms, among other things, damage to the immune system so the body is able to fight off viruses and bacteria as well as healthy people. The trigger is unknown, but the disease is not thought to be contagious.

According to Dr. Sarah Browne, scientists from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, a mysterious disease is another form of immune disorders that are not revealed, but it is not spread by viruses like AIDS.

Browne doing research in Thailand and Taiwan, where the disease is found since 2004.

"It's very exciting. Past 10 years, I've seen at least three patients," said Dr. Dennis Maki, an infectious disease specialist of the University of Wisconsin in Madison, USA.

Maki said, there is still the possibility of certain infections trigger this mysterious disease although the disease itself is not contagious between people.

The disease generally affects adults aged about 50 years, but it was not revealed in the family. According to Browne, the majority of patients die from infections incredible.

One patient, Kim Nguyen (62), the Vietnamese who have lived in the U.S. since 1975, was diagnosed with this mysterious disease. He went to the doctor due to a fever that never healed. Since 2009, he also had many strange symptoms. In 1995 and 2009, he was reportedly visited Vietnam.

At first, he was diagnosed with tuberculosis. Later, he was known to suffer from symptoms of immune system disorder and was treated in hospital for a year Hamir.

AIDS is a disease-specific and cause the immune system of people infected with the HIV virus is disrupted. The HIV virus will destroy T cells, the major forces in the human immune system to fight pathogens.

Meanwhile, a mysterious disease does not interfere with the cells, but caused other damage. In a study conducted Browne to 200 people in Taiwan and Thailand, most patients this mysterious disease that holds the body makes autoantibodies gamma interferon, a chemical signal that helps the body get rid of the infection.

Disruption of chemical signals that will make a person, such as AIDS patients are more susceptible to fungal infection, viruses, and other parasites that are similar to tuberculosis and cause lung damage.

Scientists now call this mysterious disease as immune disorders in adults as it is emerging in old age.

Treatment with antibiotics is not always effective, so doctors usually perform a wide variety of treatments, including cancer drugs to suppress the production of antibodies.

Because the disease is experienced by the majority of oreng Asian or of Asian descent, the experts called genetic factors may play a role in triggering the disease.

Food Causes Headaches

 What causes a headache? Disturbed by sudden headache that does not go away? Do not blame circumstances, but try to pay attention to what we eat. Maybe there hubngannya with the type of food causes headaches before you consume.

Experts say, an orange and some other foods can trigger headaches when people are eating these foods has decreased enzyme. While this enzyme is essential for neutralizing amines or collection of nitrogen-containing organic compounds in food. Some foods have large amounts of amines, and without a doubt it is no enzyme headaches (even migraines) can be stimulated.

Eating 1-3 oranges may not be harmful. However, if we include people who experience frequent migraines, wiser if we can be aware of the impact that the food we eat is to prevent migraines. So we get a new theory, in which snacking foods can be a signal the occurrence of migraine. However, not only the food that every moment can be a migraine trigger, but other triggers, such as bright lights or stress is also a motivating factor headache occurs sooner.

Besides citrus, food and other beverages that can trigger headaches are:

1. Cheeses containing tyramine, which is a natural substance that is formed due to aging food. Proven high levels of tyramine can cause hypertension. This is not good, especially for people who are undergoing treatment with MAO inhibitors (a type of anti-depressant) to address their migraines. Cheeses that contain high levels of tyramine such as blue cheese, brie, cheddar, Stilton, feta, gorgonzola, mozzarella, muenster, Parmesan, and Swiss.

2. The food is marinated, processed, and canned foods also have a high tyramine content. Observe how your body reacts when you eat pickles, olive oil, and canned soup.

3. Once metabolized by the body, alcohol can also trigger headaches. Beware when consuming red wine, beer, whiskey, and champagne that have been identified as headache triggers.

4. Of the patients with migraine and headaches, we also found some popular foods that can also be the cause of their pain, such as peanuts or peanut butter, potato chips, pizza, kiwi fruit, plums, raspberries, bread, and biscuits.

Beirut Became Plastic Surgery Center in the world

Beirut had earned the nickname "Paris of the East" due to the cosmopolitan atmosphere. And, despite the Civil War-torn Lebanon and then for 15 years (1975-1990), Beirut was losing its charm. After going through major reconstruction, the capital city of 2 million people managed to get up. Even Beirut once was ranked 9th best city in the world Travel & Leisure magazine in 2006.Now reportedly Beirut became plastic surgery center in the world , a recognized professional.

Now, Beirut became one of the main destinations of foreign tourists, the first ranks of the list of 44 places that must be visited daily version of The New York Times in 2009. Many things that cause it. Besides filled with art galleries, museums, and other tourist destinations, Beirut also became the center of fashion. From this city was born a few top designers whose design widely worn by Hollywood celebrities on the red carpet, such as Elie Saab, Zuhair Murad, Georges Chakra, Reem Acra.

One other attraction of Beirut is its position as a center for plastic surgery in the world today, beating Los Angeles. This is because the cost of plastic surgery in Beirut is much cheaper than in the U.S. and Europe, and have been riding for 17 years. For example, rhinoplasty costs $ 2,000, while breast implants were "only" 4000 dollars. In the U.S., breast surgery can cost 7000 dollars.

Lebanon woman is already very well known with her ​​beauty. Just look Salma Hayek (Lebanon-Mexico), Shakira (Lebanese-Spanish), Jenna Dewan-Tatum (Lebanese-American), and of course Nadine Njeim (Miss Lebanon 2007). However, Lebanese women increasingly obsessed with their physical appearance, and the more who undergo plastic surgery, whether breast implants, Botox, liposuction, nose or repairs. Not infrequently they undergo a combination of procedures, such as breast augmentation as well as tummy-tuck (tummy tuck), and the beheading of the nose.

Plastic surgery demand is so high that banks also offer loans for plastic surgery program. National Bank, for example, offers plastic surgery loans with terms up to 5,000 dollars under the age of 64 years and it still works.

"You could not find a job in Lebanon if you look unattractive. People will reject you socially," said Maher Mezher of First National Bank.

According to experts from the industry, each year 1.5 million plastic surgery done in Lebanon. That's not including the 10 million non-surgical procedures such as Botox and collagen injections. Most women begin first operations with the beheading of the nose (the most popular procedures), followed by a face-lift, breast implants, and liposuction. Not surprisingly, many Lebanese women who had the look the same: small nose, large cheeks, perfectly shaped breasts, and lips are sexy. Some are doing a total makeover.

Sky Ride in Milton Keynes

This post is a bit different but I thought it was the perfect introductory post for a new feature I'm hoping to begin. I'll explain more on Friday but health and fitness is a subject I've wanted to approach for a while on this blog. With wanting to 'tone up' myself and wanting to become overall a bit more healthy, I thought it would be a nice idea to blog about how I try and change my lifestyle - the different methods I use, the results they give and finally my opinion about them. It's not always easy to stay healthy in everyday life in between work, socialising, blogging and more and we all know it's going to get a bit harder with winter coming up (I for one simply hibernate as soon as it gets cold!), so I think it's definitely something that will interest all you readers.

On Friday I'll also go on to explain how toning up and becoming more healthy is my main aim through out this feature and how to do it healthily without starving yourself or dieting.

This weekend is the Sky Ride in Milton Keynes, which is one of many events arranged to help people get on their bikes and have a bit of fun. The different events are collaborative between Sky and British Cycling and have been going for about four years since Sky & British Cycling first worked together to inspire the nation to become fans of cycling.

What they have done is arrange different Sky Ride events around the country to help people come together and partake. The events are taking place all over the country and offer free bike riding participation from weekly local rides to bigger events like the one this weekend. The rides are available to people of all ages and abilities, and you are welcome to cycle as much or as little of the route as you wish.

I am personally quite a fan of bike riding - it's something I always loved to do when I was little and it's something I've recently picked up again with my sister. My sister lives in the countryside and a few times we have gone on bike rides around the area, taking in the beautiful views and getting fit in the process. It's something I've really enjoyed and since getting some bikes at Christmas (which I need to get a new seat for the girls one because it really really hurts my bum), I enjoy going on the occasional bike ride alone.

Although I do like going out by myself (I love blasting my iPod whilst out), I know that cycling is something I'd partake in more if I actually had someone to do it with. Likewise, I don't actually know many nice routes around my area.

This is why I'm looking so forward to participating in the event this Sunday. I think it's a really nice idea as it's a great way to meet other cyclists and discover some new routes in the process. The website I used to sign up for the event was great too as it gave you the option to search for different local events and even search for and add biker buddies and groups. This is a really nice way to find some other people to ride with and you can also see who else will be attending your local event.

I'm really eager to get out on Sunday and make another start on my 'get fit/get healthy' routine. It's something I've wanted to blog about for a while and at some point last month I was even going on two short runs/jogs a week (*gasp* yes, me, the laziest person in the world!) but then I fell down some stairs drunk and hurt my ankle, so running hasn't really been on the cards for me lately. Kids, don't drink in high heels...nonetheless, it's just about feeling better now so going on this bike ride on Sunday will be a nice way to get back into the fitness thing without putting too much pressure on my ankle.

If you're interested in taking part then simply click here to find out more about the event this Sunday (or to search for more events) and register free for the event of your choice.

I'll be blogging again this week about the event and a further explanation of this new feature. Is this a feature you'd be interested in reading about on the blog? Does fitness interest you? Are you more interested in the exercise side of things or the eating healthier approach? Let me know what you think and do have a look at the website and let me know if you have any plans to take part!
