Know the myths and truths of gum It can cause tooth decay, but also makes the teeth cleaning

 

The idea that gum is mania of child is more than surpassed. The adults are so fans of the chewing gum as small. The fact is that the food industry has been dedicated to creating products increasingly full of requirements which fit into the demands of great people, such as sugar-free gum and gum that promises to whiten teeth, but without leaving aside the colored versions, stuffed and more varied formats for the kids. The gum was always considered the villain of the mouth to cause tooth decay and seen as a delicacy that hinders the diet. But he doesn’t bring any benefit to the regime and for the oral health? The nutritionist from MinhaVida, Roberta Stella, and the dentist Sydney Leonard Goldmann help to clarify the myths and truths related to habit.

 

The chewing gum are quite harmful to the diet
Myth. The chewing gum, even those containing sugar, are not very calorific and even help fool the hunger. Of course the gum with fillings should be avoided, because they are more calorie. A unit of gum stuffed presents, on average, 15 calories. Two units of this gum add 1 point in the list of diet of points (from a program using points instead of calories to guide the daily consumption of foods). While a sugar-free gum introduces 2.5 calories per unit, being needed 9 units to earn 1 point. “If the chewing gum habit for many a day, the best option is the gum without sugar not to accumulate points or calories to the diet,” says Roberta Stella.

The gum can cause stomach pain
Truth. If the gum is chewed inasmuch as several times a day and the person is there are many hours without feeding, will stimulate the production of stomach gastric juice, which contains hydrochloric acid. The substance will act directly on the wall of the stomach may cause pain. This way, you should avoid chewing many units of gum per day.

Every type of gum causes tooth decay
Myth. The sugar present in the gum is the major cause of tooth decay. Therefore, the diet versions and light can stay out of that list. However, some dyes and preservatives of composition of gum can be made from starch and carbohydrate, which will turn into sugar and are also harmful to teeth. “Choose to versions without sugar and colorless, which are the most secure,” says Goldmann. Another point is that some chewing gum, depending on its composition, may leave the pH of the mouth very acidic and cause tooth decay.

The gum can be beneficial for oral hygiene
Truth. The mechanics of chewing gum and the friction of goma with the teeth causes a surface cleaning of the teeth. How much thicker it is, the better the result. “But the gum does not replace the toothbrush and floss and neither has the power to remove the plaque or prevent the formation of it,” explains the dentist.

The gum alleviates bad breath
Truth. With superficial cleanup that the gum provides, the breath is favored since the renewal of the cells in the mouth. But it is a momentary action. And is not for everyone. Those who suffer with dental problems such as caries, periodontitis or restore damaged, can stay with the smelly accented with the use of gum. Incidentally, this is the indication that there is a problem.

Gum helps to whiten teeth
Myth. Even the versions that promise this benefit contain very low concentrations of peroxide (substance feet) to provide some bleaching. In addition, it cannot be used in high concentrations in goma for being a toxic product. “The peroxide can burn the gum. Therefore, only a dentist must handle the substance, avoiding the risks, “explains Goldmann.

The gum is indicated for certain oral treatments
Truth. In some cases, the gum is recommended with action of physiotherapy. When there is inflammation of the muscles or limited opening of the mouth (trismus muscle), the use of goma is beneficial to minimize the swelling, strengthen the musculature buccal and recover the movements of the jaw.

Xanit Hospital International is the latest advances in multiple sclerosis in a day.

Benalmádena, Málaga, December of 2011- the neuroscience area, Xanit Hospital International has organized a meeting of update in multiple sclerosis (MS), in which participated more than 20 professionals among neuroscientists, neurophysiologists, psychologists, psychiatrists, speech therapists and specialists in occupational therapy from the province of Málaga.

The aim of this meeting was to update the existing information about multiple sclerosis, a disease of inflammatory origin that affects the myelin (the substance responsible for facilitating the nerve impulse in the nervous system). This disorder usually affect a mainly young population, disrupts the central nervous system at multiple levels and in different times.

According to Dr. Victor Campos, Director of the area of Neurosciences of Xanit Hospital international, “ in Spain prevalence figures are around 50/100,000 inhabitants, a figure slightly lower with respect to the countries of Northern Europe (United Kingdom and Scandinavian countries 100/100,000 inhabitants) ” and adds that “ Xanit, through its area of neuroscience, has been considered essential to update the diagnostic and therapeutic techniques given the large number of people belonging to these nationalities who live or visit Benalmádena and the Costa del Sol and consult our neurology service ”.

These meetings were chaired by Dr. Víctor Campos, and included the participation of Andalusian specialists in multiple sclerosis. The meeting was coordinated by Dr. Fernando Sanchez, Chief of section of Neurology and head of unit of the Hospital multiple sclerosis “ Reina Sofia ” of Córdoba; and reviewed the aspects included in the programme the Dres. Francisco Padilla, specialist in neurology hospital “ Virgen de la Victoria ” of Málaga; Carmen Arnal, specialist in neurology hospital “ Virgen de las Nieves ” of Granada; and Eduardo Agüero, specialist in neurology Hospital EM unit “ Reina Sofia ” of Córdoba.

Topics addressed include the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, deepening on newly established criteria; the role of the study of cerebrospinal fluid; current treatment; different strategies to use it properly, and therapeutic developments. This aspect is most innovative and interesting paragraph given the development of new drugs capable of modifying the immune response of the human brain (or “ immunomodulators ”) who will be admitted for use in the very near future.

Hair when not this healthy looks dull, weak and little docile.  Hair damaged to recover naturally needs time but there is a treatment which accelerates the regeneration of hair from the inside outwards, referred to as molecular hidrocauterizacion.  This method aims to regenerate the hair fibers to recover health, strength and beauty in the hair

< br / > when the structure of the hair is healthy it is shiny, soft and manageable.  The process for the hidrocauterizacion it takes 45 minutes. It begins with washing, then dries and apply patch by patch a phial of oil containing Alpha hidroxiácidos. This product is sealed with heat for what the planchita is used to ensure that this substance to stay within each hair and so regenerate. The second part of the treatment consists in another wash to remove the rest of the blister I put above, to deal then with nourish the cuticle of the hair.

by | Sep 11, 2011 | | 0 |

the phrase “ will consult it with the pillow ” has more substance than it at first glance may seem. This article, that just we attach you importance in our rest (unlike the mattress), it can be decisive to enjoy a restful break in night sleep and avoid annoying headaches back or torticollis.

Choose our pillow depends on the type of mattress that we have in the bed, but also, curiously, the position that we adopt usually sleeping.Here are some guidelines that will help you decide what the pillow that best adapts to your rest.

people that sleep face up should choose relatively thin pillows, so that the cervical spine is kept at the same angle with the spine that when standing. Sleep upside down, on the other hand, is not nothing recommendable, since the head has to maintain the neck turned to one side to allow access by air to waterways respiratory.

Compact and thick pillows are the most suitable for those who sleep on side, supported on either of the two shoulders; so the neck will remain positioned in line with column, avoiding forced postures or rotations. But if we do not know in what posture sleep regularly, or are prone to change position during sleep, then the best is opting for a natural fill pillow that are the most flexible on the market.The best pillows (and the most expensive, why not say so) are those of latex;This is so because they are which better adapt to the shape and weight of the head, recovering his form with changes of position. A synthetic pillow is cheaper, but in them they are hollow to them they are uncomfortable with use; natural and polyester fiber they are similar in terms of comfort, but the latter tend to apelmzarse with the washings.

For this reason it is important that we take in quantity food rich in melatonin, but also help us the magnesium, potassium and carbohydrates. on the basis of these premises, what food we can take that we induce sleep?. To begin with cherries, a fruit with a very high level of melatonin. If we take them one hour before bedtime, they release this substance in this body and will help us to sleep. Bananas are also highly recommended in this regard, because they are very rich in magnesium and potassium.The same effect as a banana, it has traditional bowl of hot milk, because it is rich in calcium and releases serotonin, which helps us to relax and fall asleep.

Are these liquids explosive?

are these liquids explosive?

-a team of researchers from the University of the Basque country (UPV/EHU) has developed a method for determining the chemical composition of suspicious liquids for explosives seized police. Some of the samples contain substances hazardous to health, such as methanol and boric acid

Spain, 2011-August every year security forces confiscated tons of pyrotechnic substances in principle, for the manufacture of fireworks of low power (such as flares or those used in artistic or sports events), but that may also end up in the hands of hooligans or violent groups.

Now a group of chemists at the University of the Basque country (UPV/EHU) has developed a method which provides the judges conclusive scientific evidence about the nature of such liquids. Until now many ways to the detection of high explosives, such as TNT, had engaged but only for minor power, although they can also be dangerous.

“ Have combined four techniques commonly used in laboratories to determine relatively easily, explosive or flammable compounds in liquids of dubious origin ”, emphasizes SINC Kepa Castro, researcher at the UPV/EHU and lead author of the study

On the one hand, the molecular composition of substances is obtained with two spectroscopic techniques (Raman and infrared), which can be carried out with portable devices in airports, customs and port offices.

On the other hand, to determine what elements present the sample uses a detector energy dispersive (EDS), to adding images that provides an electronic scanning microscope (SEM).

“ With the technique SEM-EDS visualizes how are distributed and grouped the elements in the sample (calcium with sulfur suggests the presence of a calcium sulfate, for example) ”, explains Castro, “ and across the four techniques data can corroborate or confirm the results ”.

Samples with hazardous compounds

To validate the method scientists have applied it on five samples of confiscated liquids. Four of them, the results are consistent with its use for fireworks of low power. Alcohols such as the isopropyl and methanol were used for solubility compounds and the scientists managed to produce flames of colors.

The use of methanol as a main solvent was a surprise for the team, this compound is very toxic to humans (cause acidosis and blindness) and its use is restricted in many countries.

Boric acid, a substance recently joined the list was also detected in other fluids of the “ highly troubling ” of the REACH Regulation (registration, evaluation, authorisation and restriction of chemicals) of the European Union. These acids can affect negatively human reproductive function.

The fifth sample not surprisingly found no substance that entered the ignition or develop. “ Probably a delay you flame, which is used just to otherwise: prevent fire ”, suggests the researcher.

More than 30% of the recipes of the Health Department of the Bank are prescribed with generics

more than 30% of the recipes of the Health Department of the Bank are prescribed with generics

this dispensation of pharmaceutical products exceeds 6 points the average regional and 4 State.

-pharmaceutical Department expenditure has fallen nearly 17 percent from 2009 thanks to this and other measures referred to in the Plan of use rational of the medicinal product launched by the organization.

– in three years, the Department has increased prescription active ingredient in more than 25 points to exceed this year 36%.

-the Interterritorial Council of healthchaired by the Minister Pajin, agreed to recently approve prescribing compulsory active ingredient in all Spain

August 2011. More than 30% of the recipes of the Health Department of the Bank have been prescribed with generic drugs in the first half of the year, a result that exceeds 6 points the average regional and 4 State. These data are this Health Organization at the forefront that dispensation of generic pharmaceutical products is concerned.

Thanks to this and other measures referred to in the Strategic Plan of rational drug use (PURM), has been a significant decline in pharmaceutical Department spending possible. Specifically, the cost of medicines has been reduced by 17%, a decline also higher than the Community average encrypted by 15%.

The Department of the Bank launched in 2004 a programme aimed at all professionals of the organization with the goal of spreading a culture and attitudes of proper use of medication, since the limitation until delivery and consumption. The PURM includes the publication of guides on rational use of medication, briefings on medicines directed to professionals or outreach talks aimed at the population in general.

It is a generic pharmaceutical product sold under the name of the active principle that incorporates (substance that is made), but identical in composition and pharmaceutical form to the original brand.

In the words of Dr. Manuel Marín, managing director of the Department of health of the Bank, “ prescription of generic medications has become a priority objective, because in addition to assume a significant savings for the patient and the State, it plays a key role in the financial sustainability of the national health system ”.

In this regard, experts say that the generic has a cost of between 20 and 25 per cent below the original drug as not is added to the final price the costs of research or brand promotion. However, the generic has the same therapeutic efficacy and safety to the corresponding medicinal product with trade mark.

Prescribe active ingredient

Other measures included in the Strategic Plan of rational drug use and that has led the decline in pharmaceutical spending, has been prescribing recipes from professionals through the so-called active principle. This means dispensing a prescription to include only the name of the active substance and its dose, without indicating any trade mark, so that later the pharmacist is obliged to dispense product of lower cost to the patient.

In this sense, 2009 the Department of the Bank has since this type of prescription in more than 25 points to exceed this year 36%. In addition, this figure exceeds 13% the average of the community in the first half of 2011. These data reflect, therefore, that almost 4 of every 10 recipes issuing doctors in the region are prescribed by active ingredient.

In the same vein, the plenary session of the Council Interterritorial of the national health system, chaired by the Minister of health, Leire Pajin, recently approved compulsory for doctors for their prescriptions prescribing treatments active ingredient instead of the trademark.
