Dismetría: a leg longer than other one

Although you have to simple sight the impression of which all the human beings we are symmetrical, really it is not like that. Although it is not easy to verify the absence of asymmetry that presents the human body, the reality shows that we are not symmetrical. In this health blog we speak to you on the dismetría: a leg longer than other one.

It is possible that you have not stopped to think that it is possible that your legs are not exactly equal. Moreover, it is more than probable that they it are not. In fact, it is believed that close to 70 % of the Spanish population it has a leg longer than other one. This complaint receives the name of dismetría.

The question takes root in that 1 ó 2 centimeters of difference of a leg with regard to other one is not problematic and scarcely it is perceptible. Like much the person who has this small difference can notice that the pants drag more than one leg that of other one, but it does not contain major problems. The mishaps come when the dismetría is superior to two centimeters.

The dismetría can take place of birth or for a strong accident, in which the growth cartilage has turned out to be affected. The simplest and intuitive way of controlling if there is had a leg longer that other one one is fixing in the knees and verifying that they are to the same height. Also it is possible to do with the pelvis. Another way of verifying a dismetría is, as we were saying earlier, across the pants, seeing if it crawls of a leg more than of other one.

The dismetría can provoke column problems, artrosis, scoliosis or even lameness, any time it is not detected on time.

If the children present dismetría, it is convenient to wait to that finalize the growth process (up to 16 years approximately), since sometimes the body autorregulo. In adults it is possible to operate, shortening a bone (the femur or the shinbone generally) and placing a nail.

The fact was confirmed in territory of Norway by the local sanitary authorities.

In the last hours, the World Organization of the Health (WHO) confirmed the versions that had managing about the existence of cases of Flu To in those that there has detected to itself a mutation of the virus H1N1.

Caffeine against the Alzheimer's disease

The scientists seem to be joined in the idea of announcing the benefits of the coffee and of the caffeine with diverse studies, as we indicate already in due time in this health blog on having said that the coffee improves the memory. There is another group of investigators who with his studies have got out the benefits of the caffeine against the Alzheimer's disease.

Therefore, it seems that we will have to believe that the coffee is good for the memory, we go, since those persons who consume caffeine of a regular way have less risks of suffering from the Alzheimer's disease evil.

This way, the coffee consumers will be satisfied, since according to the study CAIDE, taken forward by the neurologists of the University of Kuopio in Finland, in collaboration with other Scandinavian institutions, they came to the conclusion that those habitual caffeine consumers have less risks of enduring the Alzehimer evil, between problematic others related to the central nervous system.

According to the results of the study, those persons who consume a high grade of coffee (between three and five cups of coffee are considered to be a high place a day) have 65 % less possibilities of contracting Alzheimer's disease and other sufferings neuronales. The study was practised in 1.409 persons who previously had been part of two important studies realized on the matter (the sample is scarce again). In whole, the above mentioned individuals remained in observation an average of 21 years to determine how the caffeine was acting in the neurological system with the step of the years (perhaps variable time is more effective).

On the other hand, also it was proved that the caffeine stimulates favorably the central nervous system and favors the intellectual yield.

This way, the relation between coffee, caffeine, memory and Alzheimer's disease becomes latent again.

Alcohol gel against the flu A

Since the flu was coming A the world seems to be living through a psychosis of which efímeramente it seems to want to go out. The people seem to have assumed that it is a question of a flu and that you can spend it without much ado. Now then, from this health blog we have treated thoroughly the topic of the flu A and hence, keep on telling you everything to close to this virus. In this occasion we center on the alcohol gel against the flu A.

In particular, more that to say “alcohol gel against the flu A” would be necessary to say “alcohol gel as a result of the flu A“, since this one is second the one that it has propitiated that the companies install dispensers of gel of alcohol so that his personnel is free of the "awesome" virus of the flu A, and therefore, workpeople avoid the contagion between.

It is necessary to say that the hand hygiene is of vital importance to prepare the flu A (and any other respiratory illness, so habitual in winter). For it, it is advisable to wash his/her/its them after sneezing or after coughing. In this sense, the demand of gel of alcohol has suffered a boom in the last months on the part of companies and individuals, who want to avoid at all costs the flu contagions A. Pero nevertheless, we see that the flu A keeps on being contagious from some to others.

The alcohol gel must be used by precaution, since it irritates the eyes and the mucous membranes. Namely it is not necessary to abuse the use of these products since the skin gets angry. In the composition of these gels of alcohol he emphasizes the presence of disinfectants and of alcoholes like the ethyl one and the propanolol. These rubbing alcohols are used in hospitals and especially in the operating theater.

The dangers for the heart

Since well you know, the heart is one of these organs that we have to spoil everything what we prune. To take a healthy and healthy life, to do exercise regularly and to obtain satisfaction of the bad nutritive habits are some of the advices to take care of the heart, as we have already treated in this health blog. In this occasion we tell you which the principal dangers are for the heart.

There are certain scoreboards of risk that warn you about the dangers of the heart:

- The hypertension is a key factor that it is necessary to watch. He remembers that the normal tension levels must range between 135-140 mg/85-90 mg. To take an intensive rhythm of the heart can be to propitiate infarctions.

- The tobacco. Not that to say has, that you must eliminate the tobacco. Smoking is a risk factor for the health of our heart. It produces an oxygen decrease in the blood and also, encourages the clots formation.

- The obesity. Other of the evil and of the epidemics of the society of the XXIst century. We are overfed and it is a problem of the developed world. The obesity provokes problems the heart, and can generate diabetes and hypertension.

Can I be contagious of flu A in a hospital?

From this health blog we keep on analyzing one of the topics that more worries the population: the flu A. For it, we have formulated the following question: can I be contagious of flu A in a hospital? Beyond a rapid and direct answer, it is necessary to bear in mind that the sanitary centers are an important risk focus.

Bear in mind that the viruses, already not only with the flu A, but with any other illness, are swarming for the hospitals and sanitary centers, since the sick persons are there precisely so that they treat them. Namely there are more possibilities of being contagious of flu A in a hospital (eye, of flu A and of any other infectious and contagious illness) since the virus is contagious for respiratory route.

But it is necessary to bear in mind several factors. First of all, that the sanitary centers are carrying to extremes the precautions to prepare more cases of flu A. The use of gloves and masks has spread between the sanitary personnel, and one has chosen to isolate the flu patients A. In those serious cases, the UCI seems to be the destination, with the complications that that could suppose, since the flu A aggravates the patients' problems with serious illnesses, the high-risk groups and those with chronic respiratory problems.

But skylight, the question of becoming infected with flu A or of not doing it depends on the immune system of each one. Namely it is possible that a person spends many hours in the hospital and is not contagious, and nevertheless other one comes and is a little time and yes it is contagious.

Finally, it is necessary to point out that it is not necessary to go to the hospital to be contagious deliberately. It is true that the person who has suffered the flu A remains immunized opposite to her, therefore it is not contagious again, but it is completely imprudent to come to hospitals to be contagious on purpose, to spend it as soon as possible, since the only thing that it might to obtain is to extend the virus of uncontrolled form.

Traffic accidents cause 1,3 million deaths a year

Since it is already a custom for some years, last Monday, the 16th of November the World Day was carried out in Memory of the Victims of Traffic accidents. Annually about 1,3 million persons die because of accidents in streets and routes, according to numbers handled by the World Organization of the Health (WHO).

The World Day in Memory of the Victims of Traffic accidents is a date imposed somewhere near the year 2005 and for that he looks that the persons take conscience about the big number of deceased who provoke the transit accidents. Although the principal target is to offer a homage to those persons who lost his life in these circumstances as this way also a tribute to the relatives who must live with the pain of the loss, he reported the web site of the WHO.

As regards the annual numbers of deaths in road accidents, almost 1,3 million are the persons who die and about 50 million human beings those who suffer some type of damage, he informed that the web of the World Organization of the Health, which he added this is the first cause of death in persons whose ages go from 10 years to 24 years.

Guide of the tablet postcoital

Very much one has spoken and discussed the tablet postcoital (also known like morning-after pill), even from this health blog we treat the topic of the morning-after pill to debate. Well, after all the dimes and diretes of this medicine, we center on the guide of the tablet postcoital.

The tablet postcoital is a method of emergency, not of habitual use. This is the first question that it is necessary to make clear. It acts up to 72 hours after having had a sexual relation with coitus, in which there is pregnancy risk. Now then, the capture of the tablet must be done as soon as possible after having supported sexual relations without protection, if possible, in 24 hours later to the coitus of risk, since in this case the efficacy is superior to 90 %, percentage that diminishes the same way as is spending the time.

For it, the tablet postcoital must never be used as a contraceptive method of the first option, and it has always to be a secondary and extremely special method, which is used when they trump the traditional contraceptive methods, especially the condom. The tablet postcoital also is indicated when one has forgotten a capture of the oral birth-control pill, when the contraceptive patch remains detached more than 24 hours, when the vaginal ring moves back temporarily (more than three hours) or when the DIU is expelled coinciding with a coitus. Also, it is necessary to point out that this medicine can be of a capture or of two.

Before the groups who think or are afraid that the tablet postcoital turns into a widespread contraceptive method, we would have to speak about the side effects, since the morning-after pill is a hormonal dumbfounded certification, although beech experts who are postulated in the opposite idea.

Well, the polemic comes because the morning-after pill can be obtained in the drugstores without medical recipe, what all the women in fertile age can take it and be done by her. But skylight, if the woman is already pregnant, in this case the tablet postcoital would not be effective.

The morning-after pill also has side effects, which go from morning sickness, vomiting or disorders in the menstruation, up to bled vaginal irregular, increase of sensibility of the breasts, fatigue and abdominal pains and of head. If it is vomited before three o'clock after having taken the medicine, it is possible that this one has not supplied effect.

Finally, to insist that the tablet postcoital is not a contraceptive method to the use, and that it must only be used in case of emergency. Also, it is necessary to insist that it is not necessary to practise sex without protection, to already not only to avoid not wished pregnancies, but also to avoid the sexually transmitted diseases contagion.

Therapies with horses

From this health blog we give a conceptual jump to speak about the therapies with horses, a curative form that little by little begins being done by a name inside the therapeutic panorama, due to the heyday of the therapies with animals, especially with horses.

The majority of us does not know (or he was not knowing) the curative properties that could have the horses.

To know what types of therapies exist, we have to divide of the Hypotherapy (word that proceeding from the Greek “Hippos“, who means horse). The Hypotherapy is a therapy based on the use of the multidimensional movement of the horse for the treatment of different physical and mental complaints, which provide the person in treatment of an increase of the self-esteem.

It is a question of a concept and of an idea that they are not, for anything, new. The Greeks were already using to the horses with therapeutic ends, to fight diverse types of illnesses, and in the Middle Age, were recommending the trot or gallop in horse to fight illnesses as the drop. Therefore the therapies with horses are not new. For the persons familiar with this question, they speak about the miraculous trot of the horses.

As for the benefits of the Hypotherapy, they depart from a series of physiological effects in the organism, which are born of the increase of the capacity of perception of stimuli. On the other hand, also it generates a series of psychic effects, like the stimulation of the attention or the concentration. But also we meet physical effects, due to the corporal temperature of the horse.

For all this, this type of therapies with horses is diagnosed for illnesses like the multiple sclerosis, cerebral Palsy, Autism, chronic Complaints, Syndrome of Down, Forked Thorn, cerebral Traumas, neurodegenerativas Illnesses, traumatológicas Illnesses, Anorexia, Bulimia or diverse types of disabilities.

You can find this type of therapies with horses in Madrid, in the Foundation Friendly Horse (C / Lope de Vega, 36).

The diabetes fond of almost 220 million persons

Everywhere of the world the World Day of the Diabetes was celebrated, the most important date to achieve that the population takes conscience about this illness. Organized in joint form by the International Federation of the Diabetes (IDF, by his initials in English) and the World Organization of the Health (WHO), this celebration was carried out last Saturday, the 14th of November.

The World Day of the Diabetes is the most important vehicle for all the countries to achieve that the people know the real magnitude of the problem of the diabetes, an illness that at present affects approximately 220 million persons, according to official numbers published in the web site of the WHO.

Since it could not be otherwise, the General Secretary of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon, expressed a message in the frame of the World Day of the Diabetes, which was published entirely in the official web site of the international organism.

The leader said that this illness, characterized for having in the blood the high sugar levels, kills more than one million persons a year, especially in nations about to development, according to the published by the web of the UNO.

According to this web page, Ki-moon expressed that United Nations it offers all his support to the countries that they have to face the problems that the diabetes raises and asked both the international community and the international organisms also to give his support to the developing countries.

To finish this note, it would be good to answer the following question: why is this celebration realized one November 14? It turns out that in the same date, but of the year 1891, the medical Canadian Frederick Grant Banting was born, one of the investigators who discovered the hormone named insulin, who gained some years later the Medicine Nobel Prize for the above mentioned find.

False myths of the headache

After knowing how to fight the headache, a matter about which we have already spoken to you in this health blog, it has us to give one more step and analyze this problem, since it constitutes one of the most habitual pains of the human being. We are going to put the attention focus in the popular sayings: false myths of the headache.

How many times have you listened that such and such food produces headache? Of course more than you have stopped to think. The motive is that we become accustomed to a series of social practices and use popular sayings without stopping to think if they are true.

We can say that the false myths of the headache depart from the chocolate. Traditionally, this food one has said that it causes headache. Well, we can say that it is a question of one of the myths of the headache. In the same way, the wine, in excess, clearly, also is other of the products that can affect you and that can produce migraines or migraines. In the latter case, it is a question of a myth that more or less is justified, since the wine contains more tannins, but it does not stop being insufficient. In the same way, also we can affirm that the alcoholic beverages with carbonic gas, like the champaign, are more inclined to unleash migraines.

The true thing is that the headaches produced by food are quite unusual: this is the real myth. On the other hand, the real problem of the headaches they are unleashed by other factors, like the stress, the absence of sleep, to sleep in excess, the changes of habits, the sudden changes of atmospheric pressure, the disorders of the sleep, … But as regards the food, it is difficult to justify them and we can say that they talk each other of false myths of the headache.

Flu To: is it necessary to use masks?

The pandemic of the flu A continues his advance, and the groundless fear of million persons in the whole world goes out afloat. From this health blog we keep on analyzing and wondering everything relative to the flu A: is it necessary to use masks? The immediate answer would be simply not, except cases of contagion.

The experts r ecomiendan that the general public does not use the masks, at least at the moment, since they do not avoid the contagion. As has shown the National Center of protection Means (INSHT), only masks have to use the infected persons, the sanitary personnel, for the most part, although the notice also includes the relatives and persons near to the patients of flu A.

This excludes the use of mask to the general population. In fact, they have verified that the use of the masks does not reduce the spread of the virus and most of masks do not avoid the flu contagion A. Of course, in those open spaces, as in the street, the use of the masks seems completely groundless, since the virus is his wide ones for the air.

Now then, it is possible to do a small distinction in the use of the masks. On the one hand, we meet the surgical masks, which must be used by the flu patients A, since they help to avoid to extend the pandemic. For other, we meet the protection masks, which are directed to the sanitary personnel and to the relatives of the patients. It is ready it might do more exhaustive, since inside the latter type of masks there are different protection levels.

All this does not remove that the masks are effective to avoid the spread of the virus of the flu A, although the majority of them does not avoid the contagion. I insist, at the moment they are not indicated for the general population, only for patients, relatives and sanitary personnel.
