Kelelawar Membawa 60 Virus Berbahaya yang Bisa Menginfeksi Manusia

Siapa tak kenal Batman, sosok superhero berwujud manusia kelelawar? Selain Batman, kelelawar juga identik dengan drakula, monster penghisap darah. Ternyata hewan ini memang bisa dikategorikan sebagai makhluk berbahaya. Ada 60 lebih virus di dalamnya yang bisa menginfeksi manusia.

Beberapa virus dari hewan bisa melompat ke manusia dan menyebabkan penyakit. Sebelumnya, tikus dianggap sebagai hewan yang paling berbahaya karena pernah memicu wabah pes yang melenyapkan separuh populasi Eropa di abad pertengahan. Namun hasil penelitian menemukan kelelawar lebih berbahaya.

"Sepertinya ada sesuatu yang berbeda mengenai kelelawar dalam hal kemampuannya menjadi inang infeksi zoonosis (penyakit manusia yang ditularkan dari hewan)," kata peneliti, David Hayman, ahli epidemiologi satwa liar dari Colorado State University (CSU) seperti dilansir LiveScience, Jumat (8/2/2013).

Para peneliti membandingkan kemampuan tikus dan kelelawar dalam hal menjadi inang berbagai jenis virus. Caranya dengan menganalisa data semua virus yang diidentifikasi berasal dalam hewan. Peneliti menemukan ada 179 virus yang bisa menghuni tikus, sebanyak 68 di antaranya bisa ditularkan ke manusia.

Pada kelelawar, ada 137 virus yang bisa menghuni dan 61 di antaranya bisa ditularkan ke manusia. Walau lebih sedikit, namun jika dihitung rata-rata per spesies, kelelawar lebih banyak dihuni virus. Satu kelelawar rata-rata dihuni 1,79 virus yang bisa menyerang manusia, sedangkan pada tikus hanya 1,48 virus.

Penelitian yang dimuat jurnal Proceeding of Royal Society B ini juga menemukan kelelawar lebih banyak berbagi virus ketimbang tikus. Satu virus rata-rata menginfeksi 4,51 spesies kelelawar, sementara satu virus tikus menginfeksi rata-rata 2,76 spesies tikus. Penyebabnya karena kelelawar tinggal amat berdekatan dengan jutaan kelelawar lain.

Selain itu, kelelawar memiliki masa hidup lebih lama ketimbang tikus, memiliki massa tubuh yang lebih besar, ukuran kotoran yang kecil dan lebih lama membawa virus berbahaya. Yang mengkhawatirkan, ada banyak virus dalam kotoran kelelawar yang sampai saat ini belum dapat diidentifikasi.

"Meskipun manusia jarang melakukan kontak langsung dengan kelelawar, virus dari hewan ini dapat menginfeksi manusia lewat kontak dengan hewan peliharaan yang terinfeksi, misalnya kuda, sapi dan kucing. Kebanyakan wabah rabies pada manusia jika dirunut dapat berasal dari kelelawar, begitu pula penularan virus Nipah dan Hendra," kata Jamie Childs, pakar epdemi dari Yale University.

Cegah Kanker Prostat dengan Tomat Rebus


Kanker prostat adalah penyakit kanker yang berkembang di prostat, sebuah kelenjar dalam sistem reproduksi lelaki. Hal ini terjadi ketika sel prostat mengalami mutasi dan mulai berkembang di luar kendali. Sel ini dapat menyebar secara metastasis dari prostat ke bagian tubuh lainnya, terutama tulang dan lymph node. Kanker prostat dapa menimbulkan rasa sakit, kesulitan buang air kecil, disfungsi erektil dan gejala lainnya.
Jumlah kanker prostat sangat bervariasi di dunia. Namun jarang terjadi di Asia Timur dan Selatan; sering terjadi di Eropa dan Amerika Serikat.[1] Menurut American Cancer Society, kanker prostat paling jarang di pria Asia dan paling sering terjadi di orang hitam, dan orang Eropa di tengahnya.[2]
Pada penderita ditemukan rasio plasma vitamin B12 yang sangat rendah.[3]

Untuk mencegah kanker prostat adalah dengan cara mengonsumsi tomat. Tomat yang direbus hingga lembek dan menyerupai bubur ternyata merupakan bahan pangan yang mampu mencegah terjadinya kanker prostat.

"Tomat yang direbus lama hingga menjadi setengah bubur merupakan sumber likopen terbaik," ungkap pakar gizi Dr. Samuel Oetoro, MS, SpGK, di Jakarta, Rabu.

Likopen adalah salah satu zat yang terdapat dalam warna sayur dan buah, yang memiliki fungsi untuk mencegah kanker prostat.

"Likopen akan muncul saat tomat direbus hingga lembek seperti bubur, karena zat ini terletak pada inti buah tomat," jelas Samuel. Ikatan inti pada buah tomat tidak akan terlepas pada saat dikonsumsi secara mentah.

"Memang, bila direbus kandungan vitamin c, betakaroten, dan lainnya akan hilang. Namun tomat menjadi istimewa karena kandungan likopen. Vitamin dan betakaroten bisa didapat dari sayur dan buah lainnya," kata Samuel.

Oleh sebab itu Samuel menganjurkan untuk mengkonsumsi setidaknya lima jenis sayur dan buah dengan aneka warna setiap harinya. Lebih lanjut Samuel memaparkan bahwa karotenoid seperti likopen tidak akan terserap usus tanpa bantuan minyak.

"Maka campurlah 'bubur' tomat dengan sesendok minyak canola atau minyak zaitun. Dua minyak ini jauh lebih sehat dibandingkan minyak sayur lainnya," jelas Samuel.

Waspada Diabetes Bisa Picu Kebutaan



Karena obesitas telah menjadi problem mendunia, salah satu konsekuensi seriusnya adalah –penyakit Diabetes tipe 2- juga menjadi pandemi. Dan terdapat kekhawatiran yang meningkat sehubungan dengan penyakit-penyakit yang berhubungan dengan diabetes, termasuk penyakit mata, karena jika dibiarkan tanpa perawatan, bisa menyebabkan kebutaan.
Susan Viitale adalah ahli epidemiologi yang menemukan kecendrungan global yang berbahaya ini. “Ini adalah kecenderungan yang menakutkan melihat jumlah yang terus meningkat dan masalah penglihatan juga meningkat karena diabetes,” kata Viitale seperti dilansir voaindonesia.com.
Penyebab utama kebutaan karena diabetes ini adalah kondisi yang disebut diabetic retinopathy.
Ini disebabkan oleh pembuluh darah di retina, bagian mata yang mengubah cahaya menjadi impuls-impuls saraf yang membuat kita bisa melihat. Pada sebagian orang, pembuluh-pembuluh darah itu membengkak dan bocor, dan ada juga yang mengalami pertumbuhan pembuluh darah abnormal di permukaan retina. Kebanyakan penderita diabetic retinopathy ini tidak menyadari hal ini sampai pandangan mereka menjadi kabur.
“Perubahan terjadi sedikit demi sedikit, dan itu tidak berdampak pada penglihatan. Kita mungkin tidak merasakan apa-apa awalnya, sampai kita merasakan ada sesuatu yang tidak beres, dan saat itu penyakit itu mungkin sudah sangat parah,” papar Viitale.
Jerry Fishman menderita diabetic retinopathy. Ia mengatakan kedua retinanya membengkak sebegitu besarnya sehingga membuatnya tidak mungkin untuk melihat dengan jelas.
Dr. David Friedman dari Johns Hopkins School of Medicine di Baltimore memimpin studi mengenai kebutaan dari tahun 1999 sampai 2002 dan dari 2005 hingga 2008. Ia mengatakan, “Faktor utama penyebab meningkatnya kebutaan adalah apabila seorang menderita diabetes selama 10 tahun atau lebih.”
Para peneliti itu juga melihat pada data yang menunjukkan bahwa orang mulai mengidap diabetes pada usia yang lebih muda.

Kebiasaan Buruk Ini Dapat Menyebabkan Gatal-gatal pada Vagina



Jika Anda sering mengalami beberapa masalah pada vagina, seperti gatal-gatal atau meningkatnya debit cairan vagina hingga menyebabkan bau yang tidak menyenangkan, Anda mungkin perlu mengubah kebiasaan Anda yang tidak sehat.

Kondisi tersebut merupakan gejala infeksi jamur pada vagina yang disebabkan oleh pertumbuhan jamur jenis Candida albicans yang berlebihan dalam vagina. Seperti dilansir everydayhealth, Selasa (12/2/2013) segera ubah kebiasaan buruk yang dapat menyebabkan infeksi jamur pada vagina, berikut ini:


1. Diet karbohidrat sederhana
Diet tinggi makanan yang mengandung karbohidrat sederhana, seperti gula, tepung putih, permen, cookies, kue, dan soda, dapat menyebabkan vagina gatal, bau, dan gejala lain dari infeksi jamur pada vagina. Satu teori menyatakan kadar glukosa yang tinggi memudahkan jamur lebih mudah menempel pada sel-sel dalam vagina.

Teori lain menyatakan bahwa kadar glukosa mempengaruhi respon kekebalan vagina. Ketika kadar glukosa dalam darah meningkat, sistem kekebalan dalam vagina akan menurun dan tidak mampu melawan infeksi jamur sebagaimana mestinya.
2. Suka pakai celana ketat
Mengenakan celana jeans super ketat atau pakaian yang terbuat dari bahan yang tidak dapat menyerap keringat, dapat membuat area di sekitar vagina lembab akibat sirkulasi udara yang tidak lancar. Jamur penyebab infeksi jamur dapat berkembang dengan sempurna jika lingkungan di sekitar vagina lembab dan gelap.

Beralihlah ke pakaian yang terbuat dari bahan katun untuk memungkinkan aliran udara yang lebih baik pada vagina. Selain itu, segera ganti pakaian dalam Anda yang basah oleh keringat setelah berolahraga agar tidak memicu tumbuhnya jamur.
3. Kurang tidur
Buruknya kualitas tidur dapat melemahkan sistem kekebalan tubuh seseorang, sehingga penting bagi wanita untuk meningkatkan kualitas tidurnya agar terhindar dari berbagai masalah kesehatan, termasuk infeksi jamur. Sistem kekebalan tubuh yang lemah dapat mengganggu kestabilan pH vagina dan menciptakan lingkungan yang mendukung pertumbuhan jamur.
4. Stres
Stres merupakan salah satu penyebab utama menurunnya sistem kekebalan tubuh, sehingga wanita yang mengalami stres lebih mungkin mengembangkan infeksi jamur. Untuk mengurangi kemungkinan tersebut serta menurunkan dampak berbahaya stres terhadap risiko kesehatan lainnya, segera atasi stres dengan meditasi, yoga, dan olahraga teratur.

5. Menggunakan cairan pembersih vagina
Infeksi jamur juga dapat dipicu oleh penggunaan tisu, pantyliners, atau cairan pembersih vagina yang mengandung pewangi. Hal ini dapat mengubah keseimbangan pH pada vagina serta mengurangi bakteri alami tubuh yang membantu pertumbuhan melawan jamur.

Produk-produk tersebut juga dapat mengiritasi kulit di sekitar vagina. Akan lebih baik jika Anda mencuci vagina dengan sabun lembut dan air hangat, kemudian keringkan vagina dengan handuk kering yang bersih.
6. Konsumsi obat-obatan tertentu
Konsumsi obat-obatan tertentu seperti kontrasepsi oral, antibiotik, dan steroid juga dapat memiliki efek samping infeksi jamur. Meskipun antibiotik dapat membunuh bakteri penyebab penyakit, antibiotik juga dapat membunuh bakteri baik yang memiliki sifat antijamur, sehingga memberikan lebih banyak ruang bagi jamur untuk tumbuh.

Steroid dapat menyebabkan infeksi jamur karena menurunkan sistem kekebalan alami tubuh. Jika Anda mengembangkan infeksi jamur saat mengambil obat tertentu, berbicara dengan dokter untuk mendapatkan resep lain tanpa risiko yang sama.

Beware, marijuana Trigger Stroke




marijuana is a type of drug which is where most of the governments of the world to eradicate. for its users, marijuana is very dangerous, many illnesses caused by marijuana. one of the diseases caused by marijuana is a stroke.

Although some substances contained in the cannabis plant is known to have medical benefits, but marijuana can lead to addiction. The two latest studies even mention marijuana can increase the risk of stroke and heart attack. 

The first study presented at an international stroke conference conducted by a team from the University of Auckland, New Zealand. They found an increased risk of stroke in people who are smoking marijuana. 

In addition, a study published in The American Heart Journal also mentions, aka cannabis marijuana users who had a heart attack have a greater risk of death. 

Initial studies on the association of stroke with marijuana was conducted on 160 patients aged 18-55 years who had had a stroke caused by blockage of blood flow to the brain. The patients also did a urine test to determine the use of marijuana within 72 hours post-stroke. 

The results were compared with 160 patients from the control group, which were not affected by stroke but came to the hospital for other reasons. 

About 16 percent of stroke patients demonstrate the use of marijuana from their urine. While the control group was only 8 percent. 

However, the results of the tests do not distinguish between smokers and cannabis users because almost all respondents were positive for marijuana also showed nicotine in their urine. 

"Cannabis can cause changes in blood pressure and heart rate were associated with an increased risk of stroke, especially can cause heart rhythm disturbances that are closely linked with the occurrence of stroke," said Dr. Alan Barber, lead researcher. 

Meanwhile, research on heart attack conducted by a team from Harvard Medical School to follow more than 4,000 heart attack survivors for 18 years. The purpose of this study to look at patterns between cannabis use and heart attacks. 

Of those participants, 109 people smoked marijuana at least once before they reach a hospital. Most aged 40 and 50 years. During the study period, 519 patients died, including 22 people marijuana users. 

Although it appears there was an increase in mortality to 29 per cent, but the results were not considered significant. This means that the death could have been influenced by other factors. 

Another previous study found that one hour after smoking marijuana associated with an increased risk of heart attack between two to five times. The same risk is also seen in a sexual relationship. 

Some research on the adverse effects and positive marijuana plants is being conducted. However, there is no research evidence that clearly reveal an accurate and consistent. This is in contrast to research on smoking and its impact on health.
