These were published in Cell Transplantation – The Regenerative Medicine Journal on 11 March, and played by the portal News Medical. During the investigation, 25 patients with type 2 diabetes received autologous stem cells, which were implanted in blood vessels that go to pancreas. Before and after this practice, they were given oxygen treatment. In type 2 diabetes, the insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells is tough, acts improperly or reduced. In type 1 diabetes, beta cells are destroyed and in general virtually no insulin is produced.

The aim of the study is to determine whether the use of the patient’s own stem cells with oxygen may help rebuild damaged beta cells. “Preliminary results indicate that the combination of autologous stem cells delivered to the pancreas and oxygen therapy significantly increased the production of insulin, glucose levels, improved metabolic control and greatly reduced the requirements for external insulin injections,” said Camilo Ricordi, director of the Cell Transplant Center and the Diabetes Research Institute.

The progress made ??by the research group of professionals from IMABIS, in particular the Regional Hospital of Malaga, along with researchers from the U.S., Israel and Belgium, have served collateral for the Diabetes Research Institute Miami-Diabetes Federation-Research Institute, the largest diabetes cell therapy in the U.S., were interested and signed the agreement. Scientists Miami This will allow the exchange of researchers between the Miami centers and Malaga and the possibility of requesting funding assistance to U.S. National Institutes of Health through the Diabetes Research Institute in Miami.

The Center for the Study of Diseases of the pancreatic beta cells has been working since 2004 in the development of human pancreatic islet large size, high metabolic efficiency and ability to proliferate, using genetic engineering techniques. The research is based on the finding in two patients, one outside the family in a different country and race, affected by a rare condition known as hypoglycemia monogenic and described by Luis Cuesta, a genetic mutation that activates the glucokinase enzyme and producing islet cells with the characteristics mentioned . Glucokinase regulates insulin secretion by pancreatic beta cells and is responsible for maintain blood glucose levels normal. The severe hypoglycemia-low or critical levels of blood sugar, occurs when the enzyme is active over normal levels, producing a sustained secretion of insulin. Monogenic People with hypoglycemia due to severe activating mutations of glucokinase, have extremely low levels of blood glucose.

In the field of herbal medicine , herbs of Chinese medicine have been managed on several occasions as an effective treatment to cure diabetes , or at least prevent it. This time, researchers at the University of Sydney have conducted a survey of previous studies that associated with Chinese medicine and diabetes , to see if it is effective to treat the disease.

The researchers analyzed the results of previously conducted 16 investigations involving cases of 1391 patients with diabetes , those who had started treatment in Chinese medicine to combat diabetes . In some cases, patients simply asking them to change their lifestyle , while in other cases this is added the use of medicinal herbs .

Suzanne J. Grant , who led the research, found that in cases where changes in lifestyle were accompanied by regular consumption of herbal medicines the patients perceived symptoms score closer to normal levels in cases in which There were only a change in lifestyle.

The findings are published in the journal Cochrane Library , and to demonstrate the effectiveness of herbal medicine as a treatment for diabetes.

When you run you use every muscle in the body, allowing you to burn more calories than any other sport (300 to 450 calories per half hour).

Running helps you burn fat and is probably the most effective way to lose weight, though of course it requires diligence and discipline.

Running is one of the sport more accessible, requires no specialized equipment or facilities for practice, you only need good sneakers and comfortable clothing and light.

Running not only get physical benefits, but also psychological. Some of them are:

* Strengthens the heart, preventing cardiovascular diseases.
* Improves circulation and blood pressure.
* Raises good cholesterol (HDL)
* Reduce stress and anxiety, prevents depression and increases confidence and self esteem.
* Slows the aging process and provides better health and quality of life in old age.
* Combats insomnia.
* Prevent osteoporosis and diabetes.
* Helps control weight and is the only factor statistically associated with the maintenance of ideal body weight achieved.
* Jogging makes us happy, because ncrementa the level of endorphins, the so-called being hormones. ”

Running a family can be practiced at any age, but can be dangerous especially for people with heart problems or obesity, so before you start is recommended to have a good medical supervision and start slowly, combining a career and walk for several weeks. The ideal is to run 3 days a week, leaving a rest day in between.

While all human body organs are desperately needed and each one fulfills a function, the kidneys are vital for human beings because they eliminate waste and toxins from the blood through urine, as reported in this blog.

Such is the importance of these bodies since 2006 has set a day in the year to inform and educate about its function and prevention.

On Thursday March 11th was the celebration of World Kidney Day, an initiative being conducted by the International Society of Nephrology in conjunction with the International Federation of Kidney Foundations. The 2010 edition of this celebration has the theme “Protect your kidneys, to control diabetes.”

According to reports the website Worldkidneyday.org, this time sought to have people understand the real importance of the kidneys, sought to educate about how to prevent diseases related to kidney function and, among other things, tried to explain that diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure.

It is important to add that diabetes is a disease that affects approximately 220 million people, according to official figures from the World Health Organization.

Under the title “Amazing Kidneys. Protect your kidneys, diabetes control, “a booklet published in Worldkidneyday.org, website World Kidney Day, explains that all people with diabetes, hypertension and overweight, your doctor should ask staff to study the role of kidneys.

According to Professor Jennifer Eddy of the University School of Medicine and Public Health, honey can kill bacteria because of the nature of acid, but that honey is also effective to avoid bacterial resistant properties due to the use of antibiotics. “This is an important thing in the health world,” he said. In this honey therapy, part of the new wounds can be oiled after cleaning dead skin.

Patients with diabetes had early notice should be seriously part of the foot, especially to prevent wound infection continues. Give serious attention to the foot by doing good control of diabetes is caused diidap interference with diabetic foot.

Disturbance of damage to the nerves and blood vessels damage and infections that make people with diabetes experience numbness (numbness) in his legs. Therefore, diabetic patients are usually unaware of the foot injury that did not immediately apparent.

Honey therapy has been used as an alternative medicine in Europe, even in New Zealand this therapy used to treat insomnia. Professor Eddy got interested to try the honey treatment after knowing the tradition of the use of honey in the treatment of the past.

He began to test since six years ago. “I started to try this therapy after all treatment failed. Since we use honey, use of all types of antibiotics and we stopped the work, “he said. Until now the research is still ongoing and is expected to be completed in 2008 or 2009.

Health experts say, usually to an empty stomach 4 hours after the last time we ate. It means, we are permitted to eat food every 4 hours. This method is even safe to apply to the middle of our diet.

If we wait until the stomach was completely empty, we will be more motivated to eat all the food presented in front of the eyes, according to Pauline Dr. Endang, MS, SpGK, head of nutrition agencies Fatmawati RSU. Not only that, when the stomach was completely empty, we become selective in choosing foods.

Research in England also proved, the number of workers who still want to chew unhealthy snacks after lunch, tend to decrease. This compared with the number of workers who are motivated snack in the afternoon. “The eating every 4 hours to maintain stable blood sugar levels, while preventing the desire to eat too much,” said Kate Geagan, RD, a dietitian from the United States.

So from now on, every time hunger strike before the scheduled dinner arrives, prepare a healthy snack. Thus we can hold the hunger until dinner arrived. Select a handful of unsalted nuts and fruit platter.

Two types of food rich in fiber and water so that the stomach remains full with the number of calories that are not much. But remember, do not keep snack made of cheese or dried fruit on the desk drawer or in the bag. Make sure the snacks that we keep in the desk drawer is a kind of solid food.

Obeldicks to help obese children to reduce their long-term weight and have more fun in motion. Unlike weight loss programs for adults, to be achieved in Obeldicks weight loss by the natural growth of children. So the goal is only once a Gewichtsstabilisation, so that the extra pounds to grow gradually. More than 400 children and young people have now participated in Obeldicks and most managed to maintain their weight long term. “The success rate at the end of the training is 71 percent,” says Dr. Thomas Reinher, the initiator of the project. However, the success is measured primarily by whether the participants can apply the long term at home what they have learned in the training: Three years after the training were currently at least 67 percent of all children maintain their weight.

How does Obeldicks?
In Obeldicks meet children aged 4 to 16 years, 6 months of time on dates once or twice a week in the pediatric ward. Meet girls and boys separately in the same age groups at the clinic for half a year together practicing exercise, eating habits, frustration control and nutrition. The parents and families of participating children can get at parents’ evenings and individual advice and tips to help their children. Moreover, there are also parents meetings where stands of experience with cooking recipes, weighing and sport motivation in the foreground. At the beginning of each Obeldicks-course is a thorough medical examination of the child. This possible diseases to be detected lead to obesity. Sometimes seen in this investigation that the cause of obesity is a psychological problem, such as a trauma from violence or abuse experience. In this case, the child is hospitalized before Obeldicks program on the station of the psychosomatic Child and Adolescent Clinic. Obeldicks also the program itself is designed so that the children only for the duration of the training unit must say a few hours of one to two days per week in the hospital.

How can parents be supported by Obeldicks?
Obesity is a health risk that children may carry around their entire lives. The situation itself is stressful not only for the child but also for the parents who often do not know how they can help their child. Slimming groups such as Weight Watchers or powder diets are not suitable for children and very unhealthy. Therefore, the Children’s Hospital has dates in cooperation with the University of Witten / Herdecke nutrition courses designed specifically for children, providing healthy, varied diet as delicious and easy to learn. When cooking together the children are taught a traffic light system for various foods on which they can follow later. The color red stands for unhealthy, fatty and sugary food, while displaying green foods such as fruits and vegetables. Because dietary changes alone will save only half as many pounds, is the movement therapy is another module of Obeldicks. Here the children a new body awareness and self-confidence is to be conveyed so that they can romp and play again at the feel comfortable in their skin. Moreover, the behavioral training, in which the children should learn that one of frustration and boredom can fight differently than with chocolate.

But the efficacy of coffee and tea to protect the body does not come from the caffeine contained in them. Proved that the non-coffee caffeine (decaf) have the best effect to ward off diabetes. Thus published in Archives of Internal Medicine, a medical journal published bi-monthly by the American Medical Association.

They based this conclusion on the results of 18 studies involving 500 thousand people. Results of analysis showed that people who drink tea 3-4 cups of coffee or tea per day lowered the risk of diabetes, 20 percent or more. Even if the drink is a non-caffeine coffee then the effect will be better ie more than 30 percent.

People with type two diabetes usually begins to feel a complaint at the age of 40 years and more so when the body does not produce the insulin the body needs precisely. Usually two types of diabetes is treated with a healthy diet and increasing physical activity. The drugs and sometimes insulin injections are also needed to address complaints diabetics.

The researchers believe the discovery of coffee and tea to counteract the active substance hang diabetes will open a new path in the basic steps to ward off diabetes meilitus. Moreover, if further studies confirm this, then your doctor may recommend that patients drink coffee or tea as he advised his patients to exercise regularly and maintain their weight.

The combination of data and analysis, researchers showed each additional cup of coffee is consumed cut diabetes risk by 7 percent. Head researcher from the University of Sydney, Australia, Rachel Huxley emphasized because research shows non-caffeine coffee better effect, the substance that prevents diabetes is not clear the caffeine.

Other components in coffee and tea, including magnesium and antioxidants, known chlorogenic material which is capable of slowing the release of glucose into the bloodstream is suspected as the active ingredient that keeps a person from diabetes.

“Identification of the active component of these beverages will open a new way in preventing diabetes mellitus,” said Dr Huxley. By implication, the handling of people who have a risk of diabetes mellitus will be very different.

However, Dr Victoria King, of Diabetes UK experts argue that research results should be viewed cautiously. The problem, though people who drink tea and coffee are relatively lower risk of diabetes, should be seen also physical activity and diet in the study done.

“What is clear diabetes mellitus is very closely related to one’s lifestyle. Eat healthy-food, high fiber, avoiding saturated fats and excessive sweet foods remains a major step to avoid themselves from diabetes, “he said.

Young Age
Recent data from the International Diabetes Federation show, Diabetes Atlas showed the that the 285 million people worldwide suffer from diabetes and more stout against the young. More than half of these are young people between 20-60 years.

The data also shows Indonesia entered the list of 10 countries suffer most dibetes, with India ranked first, both China and the United States third.

Persatuan Diabetes Indonesia (PERSADIA) projected that the number of diabetics in Indonesia will swell of about 24 million people in 2025. This figure increased almost twice the rate of diabetes patients currently about 12 million people.

Chairman of the Diabetes Association of Indonesia (PERSADIA) DR. Dr. Achmat Rudianto KEMD SpPD-diabetes problems in Indonesia will have a major impact on the economy if left unchecked. “Because the cost of diabetes treatment, especially if you have complications,” he said.

According to data from the Ministry of Health in 2008 found 5.7 percent of Indonesia’s population or 12 million people suffer from diabates. People who enter into pre-diabetic groups even reached 11 percent.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus occurs because the combination of defective insulin secretion and insulin resistance or reduced insulin sensitivity. As a result of insulin the body needs can not be absorbed and even wasted.

According to nutrition experts, Bogor Agricultural University (IPB), Prof. Dr. H. Hardinsyah MS, type of food consumed with diabetes do not differ essentially when fasting or not fasting. It’s just that, eat only small amounts and more often.

Foods made from raw starchy foods should be avoided because this type more quickly converted into glucose (blood sugar).

In contrast, fibrous foods such as vegetables and fruits should be reproduced as fiber foods more slowly converted into glucose. With slow-release, then the blood sugar levels will be more stable.

In many cases, people with certain diseases such as ulcers, hypertension, and diabetes hypercholesterol continue to perform fast and benefit from the fast healing blessings.

In ulcer patients, for example, during fasting, because of reduced feeding, the organ that works out to an enzyme in the stomach for a moment to rest and the opportunity was used to regenerate the organ cells.

However, for people with ulcers should avoid foods made from raw flour, sweet foods and meat that accelerate gastric acid expenses.

When fast heart activity decreased and became about half. About half the blood used for the workings of the brain, muscle and kidney, so the greater the opportunity to rid themselves of the various toxins your body metabolism.

Various factors that cause increased heart rate and blood pressure can be controlled with a good fast, because at the time of fasting will be emotional control, balance rest and eat and drink arrangements.

The results of research on fasting and blood pressure showed that the blood pressure relatively constant in fasted normal value.

For people with hypertension are advised to avoid canned food preservation, food with seasonings or too salty, and reproduce eat vegetables.
