Why Stress Can Trigger Diabetes

Diabetes is not only associated with food containing sugar, but also the psychological condition. A study claims that depression or stress can also trigger diabetes. Even like a vicious circle, diabetes can also trigger depression.

"Although it has been hypothesized that diabetes-depression relationship is bidirectional," the researchers said as quoted by the Times of India.

Together with his team, An Pan, from the Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, assess the relationship between diabetes and depression among 65 381 women aged 50 to 75 years in 1996.

All respondents classified as people with depression, had symptoms of depression, using antidepressant medication, or have been diagnosed with depression by a doctor. During 10 years of study, 2844 women were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and depression 7415 having problems.

Results showed that depressed women 17 percent more likely to develop diabetes, after controlling for other risk factors, such as physical activity and body mass index (BMI). And those who use antidepressants had a 25 percent higher risk of developing diabetes than those who were not depressed.

Women with diabetes were 29 percent more likely to develop depression. Women who take insulin for diabetes have increased risk of further 53 percent higher than women without diabetes.

The results showed that depression may have an effect on the risk for diabetes is weight and not physically active. In addition, the study reinforces the findings that diabetes-related stress.

"Future studies are needed to confirm our findings in different populations and to investigate potential mechanisms underlying this relationship," said study researcher in the 'Archives of Internal Medicine' issue of November 22.

Symptoms of diabetes are shown with high blood sugar levels and the inability to produce insulin. Generally characterized by frequent urination, easy thirst, blurred vision, and numbness in hands or feet. While the symptoms of depression include anxiety, hopelessness or guilt, lack of sleep, loss of appetite or excessive, to the loss of life interests.

High levels of depression will affect blood sugar levels and insulin metabolism, through the release of stress hormones or cortisol. While diabetes can lead to chronic stress. So the relationship of diabetes and depression not just a question of an unhealthy lifestyle, but also has a biological connection.

What to Do To Stroke Away

Not only is heart disease that become the leading cause of death. But also of stroke.

One of them, is Sardjito Hospital, Yogyakarta. "The number of pathological types of stroke morbidity based on Dr. Sardjito Hospital reported 70% of acute ischemic stroke and 30% of haemorrhagic stroke. In RSUP Dr Sardjito, the number of deaths in ischemic stroke of 9.3% and 14.4% bleeding stroke, "said the head of the stroke unit RSUP Dr Sardjito, Dr. Ismail setyopranoto, Sp.S (K), Monday, January 17, 2011

According to a stroke with an acute attack, can cause death within a short time and also as a major cause of physical or mental disability in the productive age and the elderly.

Steps that must be known in order to avoid a stroke, said Ismail, is the introduction of early stroke symptoms and referral to hospital efforts should be done immediately.

"The success of stroke therapy is largely determined by the speed of action in the acute stage, which means the longer the effort to referral to the hospital or the longer the time between when an attack by the timing of therapy is getting worse prognosis," he said.

Ismail stated further treatment for bleeding stroke patients should be performed in the ICU if found bleeding volume of more than 30 cc, bleeding intraventrikuler with hydrocephalus or clinical state of patients tended to deteriorate.

creating a high-tech T-shirt

The depiction of pollution can be very fashionable at the hands of two graduate students at New York University (NYU), United States. Nien Ngo Lam and Sue created a high-tech T-shirt decorated with a heart and lungs.

Figure lung in a pink shirt and can change color to blue when exposed to dirty air. The idea of ​​making this shirt actually comes when they are looking for ideas for a course assignment "wearbale technology" or technologies that may be imposed. They got the idea after doing the interactive telecommunications program with the Tisch School of the Arts.

"Changes in the body organs can not be seen, such as exposure to pollution and undiagnosed silent killer," said Lam, as quoted by the NY Daily News.

Ngo also revealed, "We want to create a visualization from the inside out. This is a reminder to yourself and others around you."

A carbon monoxide sensor attached to a small coin-sized T-shirts. Its function is to detect the good air pollution from cars, factories, and even passive smoking. The sensor is placed in a microcontroller which is programmed to send electrical currents through the shirt, which will heat the wires below the image the liver and lungs.

Because the images of organs made of thermochromic materials that change color dramatically when heated, blue veins will be visible when the sensors find the toxin in the air.

"They want to make something that could be used as well look pretty. This is the perfect project," said designer Despina Papadopoulos, their teachers.

Nien Ngo Lam and Sue hope to find a way to make these socks in bulk at low prices. Beautiful socks using materials costing U.S. $ 60 worth of materials and they are trying to increase it.

In addition to jerseys, and Ngo Lam also experimented with other types of sensors, including alcohol detector. "If there is alcohol, the sensor will work and change the color of liver," says Ngo.
