In today’s world the influence of mass media in the population is impressive, especially in the lower age groups. Obviously the item of junk food does not ignore this, and the amount of advertising that is displayed on television in this respect is enormous, especially at times when children watch television.

This happens on a global scale, of course, but in some countries the authorities are aware of the situation and decide to take action on the matter. The case of England is one of them.

This country is a very strange happening. Due to the overwhelming amount of advertising material on the junk food that is passed via TV, the Labor Government has decided to send a warning to restaurants with serious bans junk about it.

The famous “White Paper” of the Labor government is the text that imposes these prohibitions, and fears of several fast food outlets.

Given this context, fast food outlets have reacted in an unusual manner, but very smart. Have decided to cut themselves with such advertising their products, such as Walkers and Kraft greatly reduced the fat in their products, while McDonald’s has included salads on their menus.

Indeed, 44,336 notices of telecasts during children’s programs has been passed to the figure of 34,703, which implies a reduction of 20%.

I do not know if this speaks well of the Labor Government or the local junk food. The fact is that the results are obvious, and this shows that if measures are taken seriously it is possible to combat childhood obesity.

Today is not an ordinary day for the world of health. This Nov. 14, as every year, takes place on World Diabetes Day, which has been celebrating since 1991.

Who established the World Diabetes Day were the World Health Organization (WHO) together with the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), organizations that have chosen this date in response to the birthday of Frederick Banting, a scientist who along with Charles Best contributed to discovery of insulin in 1922.

This day is a response to worrisome levels attained by this disease famous worldwide, and every year we try to spread a different theme. This year and next using the theme “Diabetes in children and adolescents.” The WHO campaign is the largest of the organization, brings together millions of people in 150 countries.

In Nielsen, a company that is dedicated to providing information regarding the ratings, business and other services, did a study on the global obesity.

Obesity in the first instance, seems to be a problem only of Americans, and yet this is very far from reality, in truth there are people around the world trying to lose weight.

Nielsen consulted citizens of 52 different countries and found that over half of those questioned were overweight. While the concern over obesity is worldwide, ways of addressing this issue vary according to each location.

How will you do in different parts of the world to lose weight?

Changing your diet.

78% of people think about making changes in your diet. One in five people in the world believe that their diet is healthy in the U.S. only one in seven think they eat healthy.

68% said it expects to eliminate fat, 65% intend to leave the chocolates and sugar, 53% intend to start eating fresh food, 46% of respondents plan to eat smaller portions of food you’re eating. 29% decided to eat fewer processed foods. And less than 10% intend to follow diets like Atkins or similar programs.

Get more exercise.

More than two thirds of respondents thought exercise more, but the definition of exercise varies. Not all countries are exercised as often in North America while having the higher registers of overweight, are also the most commonly exercised.

Diet pills or specialty shakes.

More and more people who think resorting to diet pills and other supplements. However, this method is more costly to lose weight.

When we pass something we stressed, obviously our health is affected. Our agency takes any stressful as assault and other changes occur.

One is that increased production of adrenocorticotropic hormone and glucocorticoids, and low insulin secretion, which implies an increase in blood glucose. All this can affect the health of anyone, but if you are diabetic is vital to avoid stress.

What changes occur in the body of someone who does not have diabetes before a stressful event? Are accelerated heartbeat, leading to increased blood pressure. Cesa digestive system function. The livery liver glucose into the bloodstream and breathing speeds up and is shorter.

What changes occur in a diabetic? accelerates and increases the probability of developing diabetic retinopathy, neuropathic pain, blisters on their feet. Upload the blood sugar level, the autonomic nervous system that metabolizes carbohydrates, fats, proteins, water and electrolytes may be related to the emotions when there is a stressful their functions are affected. They are produced muscle aches, diarrhea, shortness of breath, headaches and other pains.

As you can appreciate the changes in emotional state produced by a stressful event adversely affect anyone, but for those with diabetes should pay more attention still.

Furthermore, the reproductive medicine deals with the issue of cloning. This portion is very controversial and always hotly debated. The goal of cloning here is to create genetically identical organisms with similar characteristics in their total DNA.

If the cloning in agriculture, for example in potato or onion cultivation, already has a long tradition, it is used in human medicine only in recent years. The first cloned mammal was Dolly the sheep, which came in February 2003 to the world.

A very important branch of reproductive medicine, however, the artificial insemination to couples with fertility problems can help deliver a baby. There are different methods, which need to be tailored to the couple. The cost of artificial insemination should be coordinated with the insurance company before treatment, in many cases the cost of paying all or part of your own.

The artificial insemination in the most commonly used method is the Intrazytoplasmische sperm injection (ICSI short). The doctor here carrying the sperm with the help of a tweezer befruchtungsbereite directly into the egg. To increase the chances of reproductive medicine, this is the woman previously treated with hormones. The application of these hormones is not completely without side effects, because they include nausea, difficulty breathing and even cause water retention. Despite the side effects, most couples opt for this method, because it promises more than 30% success.

To benefit from the reproductive medicine for the artificial insemination be eligible, couples must meet several requirements. The couple must be married for this one, the other must be the minimum age at 25 years. The woman must not be over 40 years, the man did not have 45 years.

Because of this specialization and the layman is aware that no surgeon could now work in all areas. He has to choose a subject and learn the surgical method, which corresponds to the state in this field of research and derWissenschaft. Preference is given to the methods of surgery, which have the best long-term results and the lowest complication rates.

Minimally invasive as possible is to operate while the goal of modern surgical methods, but often it is not without the conventional surgical methods, such as the large abdominal incision. A surgical treatment method and is always part of the overall treatment approach, for example in oncology, the interaction of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

In the thoracic surgery and abdominal surgery is often operates nor conventional. But many operations make it today to give up the wide opening of body cavities: the keyhole surgery has long since found recognition as a gentle surgical operation method. With endoscopic devices are minimally invasive procedures performed.

The laparoscopy – mirroring the abdominal cavity – allows the removal of the gallbladder or ovarian cancer diseased women. Hernias also be operated as gently. With Arthroscopy – knee Mirroring – can operate meniscus and cruciate ligament injuries. Also in neurosurgery, the endoscope is used when surgery is performed, for example, a herniated disk and used implants.

The so-called endocrine system or include the pineal gland Endocrinology (located on the underside of the brain), the pituitary gland) (on the base of the skull, thyroid, parathyroid, a certain portion of the pancreas, the adrenal glands and gonads (testes and ovary ).

Endocrinology deals specifically with the diagnosis and treatment of specific diseases. Thyroid disorders are for example over-or under-active thyroid. An overactive parathyroid gland expressed depending on the type of disease due to renal colic, increased urination, diarrhea, cardiac arrhythmias, or bloody stools. In one part of the pancreatic hormone insulin is made. If a prior diabetes mellitus, this patient is a deficiency of the hormone Insulin.

The adrenal glands sit on the kidneys, which is why they have received in this way their names. In the adrenal hormone adrenaline is formed. In the gonads of the male, the testes, testosterone is formed, which for the development of typical male characteristics (eg facial hair, voice breaking) is responsible.

The example (in the ovaries of women educated hormones estrogen) cause others a renewed structure of the endometrium after menstruation. A specialist in endocrinology focuses in particular with these disorders and carries out appropriate therapies. Endocrinologists are both working as doctors in the hospital doctors.

Nuclear medicine is a medical specialty that different diagnostic and therapeutic potential uses, in which radioactive substances are used. At first glance, this sounds very dangerous to, but also used radio-isotopes decay very quickly, so there is no danger to humans.

Nuclear medicine is particularly frequently used to diagnose diseases of the thyroid. Similarly, but also occur in cancer, heart disease and rheumatic diseases in used.

Normally one uses the diagnostic capabilities of nuclear medicine to visualize metabolic processes in the human body. These substances are involved in these events are marked with radiopharmaceuticals and the patient then injected. The radiopharmaceuticals disintegrate while in the body and here give off gamma rays. This in turn is measured by the gamma camera, so the doctor can see how expiring metabolism in the body of the patient.
