battery care

Hopefully our government's plan to impose compulsory Indonesian National Standard (SNI) on the wheels and motor vehicle battery provides many benefits. As published in the media, the purpose of applying this policy to improve product quality and safety of motorists.
Indeed, good quality will largely determine safe driving and car maintenance. While waiting for the policy, from the driver side we can also perform preventive measures. For example, the battery should we check regularly. It's nothing, battery is very important in the ignition or electrical system. In many cases, lack of maintenance make the short battery (worn out). The next result is difficult to machine in-stater, when the ignition is turned to position "START" sounded just tek .. tek ... tek.
At a minimum, the following battery maintenance steps that you can do:

   
1. Monitor the quantity and quality of the water battery. Battery water should have always maintained between the line of low-level and upper level of the usual printed on the battery box. When you are under the low-level immediately added. Because water serves to help cool the battery cells of battery. When the battery is reduced and water is not immediately added, the cells inside the battery may become deformed (warped, these cells should be parallel and perpendicular). Curve of these cells can make a positive and negative plates in contact, eventually leading konsleting. Konsleting that makes the battery pack is not able to store the stun.
   
2. Check the terminals on the battery. Check whether there is corrosion or not. Corrosion can be cleaned with hot water poured on the terminals. See also wires positive and negative. Maybe lax or loose. Corrosion and loose wires create weak electric current conductivity. Thus, the current flowing into the starter motor is small and not strong enough to rotate the engine. Give the fat or grease on the terminals to prevent corrosion.
   
3. Finish driving, turning off electrical components before switching off the engine, so when the focus turned back to the system load accu Stater.
   
4. If the car is not used in a long time, come off the negative terminal of battery for electric shock do not continually sucked. (For Peugeot, removal should be performed by a mechanic).
Remember, durability and battery power is influenced treatment. Usually, within one year of battery already in trouble, for example, no longer able to keep the voltage in a long time. With good and proper care, the battery life can be more than one year.

VentureOne: Married Cross, Cars and Motorcycles

FORMS and performance vehicle called VentureOne is very interesting. Even so, if you see construction, three-wheeled one in front and two behind-we can only judge there was nothing new. Bajaj and Tuk-tuk already using it. Namin, when examined in more detail, we should lift the cap with the idea orsinil maker.
"This is a dedication Venture Vehicle to change the personal transportation by creating a revolutionary new vehicle, ultra-efficient, environmentally friendly, safe, and fun ride." This statement Venture Vehicle, the maker of Los Angeles, United States.
The company does not shrink from this creation rate commensurate with the invention of the iPod by Apple Inc. that has changed the way we enjoy entertainment today. Hence, although currently still a prototype, planned soon be marketed later this year or no later than early next year.
Motor
Compared Bajaj or Tuk-tuk-even though the same using the three wheels, the rider in front-differ greatly in terms of appearance. VenturaOne more because its body is having a certain style canopy is designed like a sports car.
Part of the body using a transparent material with a wide field of vision to 360 degrees. "As a result, the higher the level of driver confidence when driving VentureOne," commented the manufacturers.
VentureOne looks more aerodynamic and sleek, especially the front. Dimensions for the size of Indonesia, including large. Length 3556 mm, width 1295 mm, and wheelbase 2794 mm. The weight of 635 kg was reached. According to the manufacturer, the same dimensions as the Mini Cooper. In Indonesia, for example, is Karimum Suzuki Estilo.
Even so, in their home country, based on NHTSA regulation (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), United States, these vehicles are classified as motorcycles. That's where the unique. In addition, when driven or invited to cornering, the style of this vehicle is like a motorcycle. Front wheel and the body tilted to one side, memungkinkanya can maneuver with great agility.
One feature of the proud manufacturer is the level of security which was considered the most efficient and the same with cars. Because the entire body using a steel safety cell. Thus, the driver or passenger (boncengannya), in addition to diijamin no rain is also much safer than a motorcycle. Moreover, the door is equipped with reinforcement bars to withstand a collision. Also there is an air bag (airbag), bumpers, and engine protector on the back. Therefore, Venture Vehicle assess, statistically this vehicle 33 times safer than motorcycles.
Machine is installed at the back and the lowest part of the vehicle. Passenger space and front wheel tilt when turning. Although the body of the driver go sideways, but stressed to the back seat. This can be obtained because of the slope movement is aligned with the vertical axis the rider's body. Vehicle Venture describe it exactly the same as driving a vehicle with a jet fighter plane with two wheels on the ground.
Tilt Turn
The concept of body tilt when turning a patent is designed and owned by Carver Engineering BV of the Netherlands. When turning, the vehicle is tilted the front wheel and body, while the rear wheels and the engine remained upright.
To tilt the front wheels and the body used vehicle dynamic control system technology (DVC). The slope of the body laterally to reach an angle of 45 degrees with a speed of lateral movement of 85 degrees per second. Also used an automatic system to adjust the balance, keeping the ideal slope of vehicles on various road conditions and speeds, such as when accelerating or sliding on slippery road surfaces and decreases. For this, the slope of the regulatory system works automatically adjust the distribution between the front wheel angle and body.
When moving slowly, the movement of the steering mechanism is fully directed to the front wheels. As a result, the vehicle is in an upright position. When higher speed, steering wheel movement translates to tilt the front wheels and the body. To this DVC system hydraulic and mechanical work
Resources Mobilisation
Venture is offered in two engine packages: 50 and Q100 and hybrid electric only, Venture EV. Also has provided a variety of accessories for its owner. The concept of hybrid drive consists of a small internal combustion engine is directly integrated with 15-20 kW power generator.
To move the vehicles used 2.5 kW electric motor mounted directly on the rear wheels. In addition, also equipped with gas tank capacity of 16 liters. Listtrik To save energy, use Lithium-Ion battery that can generate power 3kW.
Quite interestingly, hybrid VentureOne use KERS (kinetic energy rocovery system) that works electrically to restore the energy that should be wasted. When the vehicle brakes, the kinetic energy normally wasted is converted into electricity and stored in the battery.
As a result, fuel consumption 40 km per liter and is able to speed up 160 km per hour. Acceleration 0-96 km per hour just 7 seconds. Some reporters who tried VentureOne agility impressed with this vehicle. So also with Jenson Button, F1 driver of the Honda, which give it a try on the dirt road. Once out of this vehicle, Button immediately exclaimed, "Fantastic!"
From the appearance and fuel consumption, VentureOne quite interesting. In contrast in terms of price, especially for Indonesian people pocket size, fairly expensive. Because the hybrid version diancar-ancar maximum 20,000 U.S. dollars, or approximately USD 185 million, while electricity is more expensive versions anymore, 23,000 U.S. dollars, or USD 215 million.

Going home is often a long journey. It takes preparation and strategy for the trip is still comfortable. The problem becomes more severe if a family member who brought it more than five people. That's what Seputar Indonesia feel when deciding home to Gunung Kidul, Central Java, some time ago. Seputar Indonesia lucky to get an offer from PT Toyota Astra Motor (TAM) to bring a Toyota Innova. The offer as a drop of water in the desert heat. Because Toyota Kijang Innova is known for its convenience.

When traveling back and forth, as already mentioned above Seputar Indonesia, Toyota Kijang Innova E 2.0 easily accommodates seven family members Seputar Indonesia.
There is absolutely no interference, which means comfort. Nothing is so close considering the dimensions crammed car big enough. Only one problem that Seputar Indonesia felt was the lack of available luggage. If the seven seats in use, the baggage area decreases, only able to fulfill some handbag. If forced stacking bags, the driver's certainly difficult to monitor the condition of the road behind the mirror in the car. But it is different if the driver who transported only five people. With the lift chair on the third line, the luggage area can be increased two-fold.
So, it is advisable to get a great comfort, so should the number of passengers only five people. Comfort features Toyota Kijang Innova 2.0 E is also pretty good.

One thing is quite satisfactory control of the car that can be set.
In fact, Toyota Kijang Innova 2.0 E is the lowest variant of the Toyota Kijang Innova. Well, now the question is, how boroskah this car. Seputar Indonesia embarked on the journey back and forth from the Bekasi region with the odometer showed 431 miles. The route taken is Bekasi, South Line, Navan, Karang Anyar, and Gunung Kidul. In Purwokerto Seputar Indonesia had to first walk around to relieve fatigue. In Karang Anyar, Seputar Indonesia, even forced to turn back toward Sumpiuh because there are matters that must be resolved first.
As a result, the challenge of proving borosnya heavier gasoline car. The condition of the more difficult because of traffic jams that occur everywhere. When Seputar Indonesia reached Gunung Kidul, Central Java, the odometer showed 1057 miles. Incredible journey far as it reaches 600 kilometers more. Remarkably, during the trip Seputar Indonesia only twice did the filling. First in East Bekasi areaTol rest area and in Navan. The amount of money spent only reached Rp560.000.
Given the high cost of tickets going home, that number is quite extraordinary. Moreover, it is enough to prove that the Toyota Kijang Innova 2.0 E-wastes no very extravagant. Fortunately for you who own a car like this.
Silent Cab, Full Torque
SINCE the beginning of the journey, the first thing that attracted our attention was the silence that once was in the car. The second thing is that very subtle vibration.
With a voice that is silent and vibration is very smooth, no wonder the kids were enjoying most of the trip as he was fast asleep. Moreover, large cabin space and is designed specifically for ease in setting the space as needed while driving. The third case, the stability in the streets that are not flat and declining. Able to absorb shocks suspension swing perfectly. It was thanks to the combination of front suspension that uses double wishbone with coil springs and stabilizer, and rear suspension is a 4-link with coil springs and lateral rods.
Finally the most actually make Seputar Indonesia is the torque Innova amazed that feels full even though the middle of the high and low speed. This is what makes Seputar Indonesia is very straightforward when bulldoze the road up and down starting from the area until Wonosari Piyungan.

3 Easy Steps for Finding Effective Weight Loss Products. Big fines against well-known weight loss ma

Labels:


by: Dave Perry


Chicago, Illinois, March 25, 2008. Recently, the federal government levied $25,000,000 in fines against 3 weight loss supplement manufacturers, including the highly publicized TrimSpa, featuring celebrity spokesperson, Anna Nicole Smith.

This shouldn't be a surprise.

Ms. Smith, who provided visible, physical evidence of the product's ability to help shed pounds, admitted to reporters over a year ago, that she lost much of the weight in ways other than ingestion of the TrimSpa product (Don't ask how she did it. It's not pleasant).

Beyond the appearance of results provided by Ms. Smith, the federal government looked deeper and found that little or no clinical evidence existed to support the TrimSpa̢۪s weight loss claims.

TrimSpa, apparently, was a successful marketing ploy, rather than good science applied to an age old problem of excess weight.

Fortunately, there are companies out there that spend more on research, science and good weight loss product development, than on empty celebrity endorsements.

But, you need to know how to find them, and what to look for. Here are some guidelines for finding effective weight loss supplements:

#1 Look for a Product with claims substantiated by hard science

Many weight loss supplement manufacturers claim to be �clinically-proven", to have �documented results� or to be �backed by scientific research� to sell their products. But you need to see the research yourself. If a manufacturer is unwilling to provide substantiation, run like the wind.

#2 Not all Clinical Research is the same

Look closely at the clinical studies provided by weight loss manufacturers. Was it conducted by a reputable, recognized institution, such as Georgetown University Medical Center, Harvard or other known organization? If the manufacturer provides study results that were conducted by unspecified persons, under vague conditions, question their product claims

#3 What happens in the manufacturing plant

This can be murky. While a manufacturer may have scientific studies, conducted at reputable institutions that substantiate their product claims, they may not be putting the right ingredient purity, quality grade or dosage to help you realize the same results achieve in clinical studies.

Effective weight loss ingredients are expensive. One way a manufacturer can goose profits, is to lower the amount of active ingredients, while benefiting from legitimate result claims.

To make sure you'll be getting the same product as used in clinical testing, is to look for quality manufacturing verification from independent organizations, such as USP (US Pharmacopoeia), NF or Consumer Labs. Look for one or more of their symbols on weight loss packaging. If it's missing, avoid buying the product.

Getting beyond the hype of questionable, but often convincing celebrity endorsements requires some homework on the consumers̢۪ part. But by following these three guidelines, it is possible to find a weight loss supplement that actually works.

High stress levels can damage the chances for women to get pregnant, so the warning from researchers. 12 percent figure was small, but this mainly occurs in women at age late 30s the new planning first pregnancy. Generally, women in this age range fertility begins to decline due to age.
According to a study conducted at Oxford University and the U.S. National Institutes of Health, in women with problems in the conception, found in blood levels of markers of stress hormones (called alpha-amylase) that are consistently higher.
"This is the first study to find whether the size of stress may be associated with the chances for women to get pregnant that month," said Dr Cecilia Pyper, from the National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit at Oxford University. "Women with high levels of stress markers tend not successfully fertilized."
Research published in the journal Fertility and Sterility is done by testing saliva 274 women aged 18-40 years, who were all planning a pregnancy, but not more than three months.
Researchers analyzed the levels of cortisol (stress hormone) and alpha-amylase enzyme, which is a marker for adrenaline. Researchers conducted tests on the sixth day of the menstrual cycle of the respondents for a total of six cycles, or until the woman is pregnant. Fertility monitors are used to identify ovulation and make sure the pregnancy with pregnancy testers.
From testing, it appears that cortisol does not affect the chances of getting pregnant. But for women with high levels of alpha-amylase highest hamilnya reduced 12 percent chance for each day from the days of the most fertile, than those with levels of alpha-amylase its lowest.
"Regardless of the day or the frequency of intercourse during the fertile period, women with alpha-amylase concentration was higher likely will not lead to conception than those with lower concentrations. Stress significantly reduce the chances of conception, "said Dr Pyper.
He said, is not clear how stress hormones can affect fertility. However, this possibility can reduce blood flow in the oviduct, which can affect eggs or sperm transport.
So, suggestions that the couple should be free of stress if you want to have children, it should be considered. "In some people, quite relevant to perform relaxation techniques, counseling, and even approaches such as yoga and meditation," added Dr Pyper. According to him, a kind of therapy is also able to increase the chances of successful pregnancy with IVF method.
Fertility specialist, Dr Allan Pacey, said that the discovery is really exciting. However, although the couples are generally already know that they should be relaxed if you want to have a baby, the reality is not easy to do so.
"My advice really, couples do not have to worry about the fertility schedule, and do not seek pregnancy it becomes a chore. That's what can make you stress! "

The women who made these respondents live a healthy pregnancy and risk free. This is the result of research conducted on women aged between 17-40 years old:

   
1. Nearly a quarter of women are afraid that having sex will harm the baby, but only 3 of the respondents who ultimately delaying intercourse until the baby was born to do. Two of 3 women are doing other acts of sexual intercourse. Which one, really put off having sex.
   
2. 80 percent of women reported sexual activity in the third semester. As many as 39 percent said they did copulate in the final trimester of pregnancy.
   
3. The frequency of sexual activity that women did not decline for most women until the final trimester of pregnancy, although 10 percent said that sexual activity is more frequent in the final trimester than the first and second.
   
4. Almost all women are active during pregnancy do copulation; 38 percent engage in oral sex, 20 percent reported masturbating, and 7 percent of anal sex.

Pauleta and his colleagues say, this problem is related to the cultural background of the women. In Pakistan and Nigeria, the women believe that intercourse during pregnancy can help to widen the vagina and ease of exit of the baby. While in Iran, most women believe that sex during pregnancy can make baby blind or damage the hymen infant child (if female).
Irwin Goldstein, MD, director of the sexuality in San Diego's Alvarado Hospital, said, "Having sexual intercourse would not have a negative impact on pregnancy. However, many couples feel uncomfortable pregnant wife having sex for fear of hurting her baby. This is a false vision and need to be taught further. "

(Prevent Miscarriage With Blood Tests)Cegah Keguguran Dengan Tes Darah

Miscarriage is often interpreted as the spontaneous death of the fetus before 24 weeks gestation. In the first three months of pregnancy, miscarriage is very common. Chances are two in every 10 pregnancies miscarried. These problems will be primarily experienced by women who turned 35 years old.
Most women who have had a miscarriage one time will usually be able to maintain a subsequent pregnancy. However, 1 percent of pregnant women will experience recurrent pregnancy loss as much as three times or more. The cause is rarely known that this causes women to feel sad and frustrated. It had been so, not all obstetricians offer treatments that are really needed.
No wonder, according to Dr Hassan Shehata, medical director of The Miscarriage Clinic in London, many patients are disappointed with how doctors cope with recurrent miscarriage. "Miscarriage is not viewed as a serious condition because it does not make women who experience it usually dies and there is no baby that can be embraced or buried," he admitted.
In fact, continued Shehata, no one could feel sad to lose the baby, except for women who experience it. He himself does not believe that abortion is only a matter of luck. Research shows that about 90 percent of recurrent miscarriages are caused by conditions that can be diagnosed.
The problem, in the National Health Service (NHS), health care systems in the UK, these women are treated by doctors who have no specialization. As a result, doctors do not recommend to perform a series of examinations of existing and instead perform unnecessary tests.
If a miscarriage has occurred three times, to do a special examination for the patient. Shehata said, now comes the evidence that thyroid problems, seliak disease (disorder that causes the bowel is unable to absorb nutrients), and polycystic ovary syndrome (endocrine abnormalities in the female reproductive system) could be a factor causing a miscarriage.
To find out whether the cause of miscarriage is one of the disease, blood tests are not necessary. For example, to find out whether the overactive immune system (which can cause rejection of the fetus) or any blood disorders, such as Hughes syndrome (excessive blood coagulation that inhibit the supply of nutrients to the fetus).
Another inspection may be carried out include a biopsy of the lining of the uterus to check for progesterone levels after ovulation (the hormone that is needed to ensure proper embryo embedded in the wall of the uterus). In addition, should also be done in the ultrasound and examination to identify any anatomical deficiency. Then, you and your partner can also check whether there are chromosomal abnormalities.
The sooner there is any abnormality is found, the more easily overcome. Syndrome of blood coagulation, for example, can be controlled with a blood-thinning drugs. Overactive immune system which can be mitigated by steroids. Polycystic ovarian syndrome can be controlled by adjusting the diet and taking drugs.
Shehata hopes health institutions began to regard abortion as a serious problem. Health practitioners should be able to identify what treatment is needed to prevent a miscarriage prior to conception.
"Doctors usually just ask the patient to do the process of fertilization, only then began to worry whether the patient would be a miscarriage or not," he said.
Age of women who perform pregnancy program is also a major problem, added Professor Lesley Regan, a consultant obstetrics and gynecology at Imperial College Healthcare, London. He suggested that married couples are no longer putting off having children so as not to have problems later. When women were aged over 35 years, which will be faced not only the risk of miscarriage. Programs like IVF would be reduced his chances, with the increasing age of women.

Blood Type O Difficult Pregnancy, Why?(Golongan Darah O Sulit Hamil, Kenapa?)

Labels:
Blood type O is most common in the world. Unfortunately, the researchers found that women with blood group was found to increase risk of fertility problems until doubled. Thus, the age increases, women will also be difficult o get pregnant.
Nearly half the female population in the UK (44 percent) had blood group O. As many as 42 percent have blood type A and 14 percent AB. Many women who do not know what blood type, and just knowing when to donate blood or to undergo testing when sick or pregnant.
Well, according to American researchers, those with type O blood tend to have low ovarian reserve (the remaining number of eggs that are still healthy) than any other blood type. In fact, this ovarian reserve itself will decrease throughout the life of women. Newborn baby girl has 2 million eggs, but when entering puberty declined in number to 400,000. Once women entered the age of 40 years, the amount will be left a few hundred.
To get this discovery, researchers from Yale University and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, in New York, tested the blood group 563 women under age 45, who was a fertility treatment. They compared the levels of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), the chemical in the blood, on the respondent. FSH levels are high (over 10) indicates that a woman has a low ovarian reserve and will be difficult to conceive.
Those with blood group O tend to have a FSH level above 10 up to two times that. While that her FSH levels above 20 are considered infertile. Therefore, the researchers say, women can make a decision later when it will begin to get pregnant based on blood type this.
Nevertheless, many women who managed to type O have children because there are a number of other factors that affect fertility, such as age, weight, and alcohol consumption.
"We found that women with blood type A and AB, women with blood group A gene, protected from the problems of decreased ovarian reserve," said Dr. Edward Nejat from Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
Another problem faced by the blood group A is an increased risk of arthritis and stomach infections caused by bacteria such as E. coli, while the type A and AB tend to suffer from heart disease and stroke.

Here's 10 Things The Delivery, The Must Know Mother Candidate(Inilah 10 Hal Proses Melahirkan, Harus Di Ketahui Calon Ibu)

Labels:
There are some things about the birth of a child that is important to know the mothers to prepare themselves. Following among others:
1. Not like in the movies. Often, in the movies, we see, when the actress who plays the role of pregnant women, when water broke, everyone was panicking, the mother staggered, experienced tremendous sudden contraction, and then shouted for a taxi. In fact, in real life, not always dramatic. Amniotic fluid is generally broken just before the birth of a child, and although first broke, do not have to hurry up and running to the hospital. Of course, you should immediately see your obstetrician, but that does not mean you can shout as he ran in the middle of the road. In real life, each baby's birth process was very unique and special.
2. Date of birth, more precisely, the month of birth. A complete process of pregnancy lasts between 37-42 weeks. Approximate date of birth is an estimate, not a definite deadline. Most babies born even before or after the date of the estimate, the average child born 4 days after the date estimates are made by doctors. It is rather difficult to plan for the entire month as the moment of birth, date of birth but were too specific. Well, we can only get ready to wait for the birth of your baby and not fixated on the date given by the doctors.
3. The birth process through a special phase and have different challenges. The delivery process is a process that is rhythmic. The birth of the premature generally will last longer, but easier to handle than the birth of an active, which generally requires more focus and techniques cope with pain. Encourage your baby out in the suffix is something different and could be a change. Understanding the stages of birth will help you to deal with different ways.
4. Epidural is one of many ways to deal with the birth. There is much debate as to whether epidural is a good thing or not to be given to mothers who are in the process of giving birth. One answer is, depends. Epidural injected too early will slow the process and make necessary medical intervention. However, epidurals are given too late, when the mother has been very tired, could speed up delivery, and reduce the possibility of intervention. Try to forget for a moment about the good or bad concerning the epidural, but fill your knowledge about the risks and benefits of the drug, and learn techniques on how to deal with the painful process of birth, and then see how the way the birth of your baby.
5. The philosophy of medical personnel that you trust is very influential. Some doctors believe that he must actively confront the birth process, and introducing medical technology surrounding the handling of the birth process, even before the requirement, as a precaution. Others, who believe that there is supposed to run a natural birth and the handling of medical interventions should be undertaken only when things begin to happen that are out of fairness. In this way, the birth process would be very influential by anyone who helps you. Talk to the medical staff who treat you about his philosophy helped birth. Make sure they are consistent with your understanding.
6. Midwife or obstetrician may not be always with you. This could be a surprising thing for many couples, but it often happens. Obstetrician or midwife that you entrusted to take care of your health content may not be always there for you. Generally, they will advise you when the content should be checked periodically and the development of pregnancy. However, in general, they probably will not be there to guide you every time. Usually, they will exist in the suffix, when the baby is almost born. Midwives typically will be with you much longer, however, it also depends. This is the reason why birth classes will be very meaningful.
7. Induced births usually end up at C-Section. Expected to make the birth process continue running and not stopped at an unrealistic pace will encourage excessive use of pitocin, which can double the likelihood must be Caesar. Use of pitocin should be continually monitored, that is, the mother should not move much during the process. However, changing the position could actually help the birth process and help overcome the pain. In essence, try to avoid induction as much as possible unless it is medically, is needed.
8. Get plenty of rest at the beginning of the process of birth can reduce the likelihood of caesarean birth process. When you and your doctor know that you are born in good health and good, you can try to relax and not panic when the contractions began to occur. One thing you can hold is to try to follow the rules 411. That is, only then begin the process in the delivery room during intermittent contractions for 4 minutes, each contraction lasts for 1 minute, and this has been going on for 1 hour. Discuss this with the midwife or doctor, however, prepare yourself to relax before the birth process actually begins, the point, so you're not too fast or too fast fatigue-induced panic already exist in the delivery room and felt compelled to give birth soon.
9. Births including physiological thing. Contraction is going very painful for the body and even the process was very exhausting. However, the fact is, our bodies are designed in such a way. Unlike other painful things, the birth process does not indicate a body part that is damaged or there is something wrong. There are many ways you can do to help through the process. Try to follow the classes surrounding the birth, get the support of the birth of experts, and learn about the birth process.
10. The delivery process is not about how you do it. The survey of thousands of women find that no matter whether you get an epidural injection or not that makes a birth process into a positive experience. But rather to how the mother is treated with a comfortable and respectful during a fragile moment. Women with realistic expectations tend to be happier facing the birth of her child. This means to understand whether you can control what you can control. As much as we remove the perfect conception of the birth process, the conception pelahiran imperfect will disappear with him. After all, the most important is the mother and the baby's healthy, right?

15 Essential Diabetes Drug Tips

1. Consider lifestyle changes. Diabetes pills work best when used in conjunction with a healthy diet, exercise, and (if necessary) weight loss. In fact, lifestyle changes may lower -- or eliminate -- the need for diabetes medications.

2. Know the recommended blood glucose range. You'll know medications are working if blood glucose readings fall within the recommended range. Find out from the main diabetes care provider how often you or the person you're caring for should check blood sugar levels, and be sure to keep a record of the results. Generally speaking, a blood sugar reading before meals of between 70 and 140 milligrams per deciliter is desirable.

3. Know when it's time to take action. Find out from the diabetes doctor or educator how low or high blood sugar can go before it's important to take action. For many people, blood sugar is too low below 70 mg/dL and too high above 240 mg/dL. Make sure you know the signs of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia and how to treat either condition.

4. Ask specific dosage questions. Ask the doctor the following questions about medications. Write the response down somewhere handy, such as a medication notebook.

* When should the person I'm caring for take his diabetes pills: before a meal, with a meal, or after a meal?
* How often should he take the medicine?
* Should he take the drugs at the same time every day?
* What should he do if he misses a dosage?
* What side effects may occur?
* What should we do if he experiences side effects?


5. Consider switching medications. Diabetes pills don't work for everyone. And sometimes they lose effectiveness after a few months -- or after many years. There's no clear-cut reason why this happens; often switching to another drug or trying oral combination therapy can help.

6. Tell the doctor about all medical conditions. Most older adults have other medical conditions in addition to diabetes, including high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

Make sure the patient's main diabetes doctor is aware of all illnesses, chronic conditions, allergies, or surgeries, and work with his diabetes healthcare team to set treatment goals for his care that complement his overall healthcare.

7. Keep a current medication list. Older adults with diabetes are at an increased risk for drug side effects and drug interactions, especially as the number of medications increases. Make sure the person in your care keeps an up-to-date medication list and that he brings it with him every time he sees any healthcare provider. Include every prescription medication and over-the-counter drug, vitamin, and herbal or homeopathic treatment and their dosages.

For example, many common medications used to treat high blood pressure also raise blood glucose. Other drugs, either on their own or by interacting with oral diabetes drugs that lower blood glucose, can make diabetes remedies more potent and lower blood glucose to dangerously low levels.

If the person you're caring for starts on a new medication and suddenly finds his blood glucose is significantly higher or lower than usual, ask his doctor to check out the possibility that the new medication is causing the unwanted effect. It's also important to check blood sugar more often after starting on a new drug for this reason.

8. Stick with one pharmacy. If possible, use the same pharmacy for all prescriptions. By having a complete record of all medications, the pharmacist can alert you, the patient, and his healthcare providers to possible interactions.

9. Report any side effects. A patient should report any side effects from medications to his healthcare provider and include the following details: how long they lasted, how severe they were, and what medications and what dosages he was taking at the time.

10. Compare prices. Costs can vary widely for different drugs at different places. Call around to a few pharmacies to find the best price for the pills, and ask your regular pharmacist to match a cheaper price if necessary. Some diabetes drugs are available in generic form; check with the pharmacist.

11. Check tablet strength. Another money-saving tip: Ask the doctor to prescribe the largest tablet strength suitable for the dose the patient needs. For example, a 500-milligram pill often costs much less than two 250-mg tablets. Use a pill splitter, available at drugstores, to cut the larger tablet into the appropriate dose (halves or quarters). One word of caution: Some extended-release drugs don't work properly if they're split, so always check with the pharmacist or doctor before cutting tablets.

12. Keep track of daily medications. Use a pillbox or some other system to keep track of daily drugs. Ask the pharmacist for suggestions and see our article "How to Help Someone With Diabetes Follow Medication Recommendations".

13. Throw out old drugs. Get rid of (by recycling if possible) outdated medications and those left over from prescriptions the person you're caring for no longer uses. Old drugs may lose their potency or interact with pills he's currently taking.

14. Know that drug types and dosages may need to change over time. Diabetes is a progressive condition, meaning it continues to change over time as a patient's insulin production steadily declines. The dose and type of pills most patients use to control the disease may need to be adjusted to reflect these bodily changes.

15. If at first you don't succeed. No one diabetes drug is best for every person, and what works for one person may not work for another. A patient's main diabetes doctor and others on his team can help him find diabetes medicines that best meet his overall treatment goals.

Causes of Diabetes

Certain factors that contribute to the development of diabetes are Heredity Heredity is a major factor. That diabetes can be inherited has been known for centuries. However, the pattern of inheritance is not fully understood. Statistic indicates that those with a family history of the disease have a higher risk of developing diabetes than those without such a background. The risk factor is 25 to 33 percent more. One reason why diabetes, especially type-2 diabetes runs in the family is because of the diabetes gene. But even it is caused by genetic factors beyond your control; there is no reason to suffer from it. Diabetes mellitus cannot be cured in full sense of the term, but it can be effectively controlled so that you would not know the difference. Diet Diabetes has been described by most medical scientists as a prosperity’ disease, primarily caused by systematic overeating. Not only is eating too much sugar and refined carbohydrates harmful, but proteins and fats, which are transformed into sugar, may also result in diabetes if taken in excess. It is interesting to note that diabetes is almost unknown in countries where people are poor and cannot afford to overeat. The incidence of diabetes is directly linked with the consumption of processed foods rich in refined carbohydrates, like biscuits, bread, cakes chocolates, pudding and ice creams. Obesity Obesity is one of the main causes of diabetes. Studies show that 60 to 85 % of diabetics tend to be overweight. In the United States of America, about 80 percent of type –2 non-insulin dependent diabetics are reported to be overweight. Excess fat prevents insulin from working properly. The more fatty tissue in the body, the more resistant the muscle and tissue cells become to body insulin. Insulin allows the sugar in the blood to enter the cells by acting on the receptor sites on the surface of the cells. Older people often tend to gain weight, and the same time, many of them develop and mild form of diabetes because who are over weight can often improve their blood sugar simply by losing weight. Stress and Tension There is a known connection between stress and diabetes mellitus, those who are under stress and/or lead an irregular lifestyle, need to take adequate precautions and make necessary lifestyle adjustments. Grief, worry and anxiety resulting from examinations, death of a close relative, loss of a joy, business failure and strained marital relationship, all a deep influence on the metabolism and may cause sugar to appear in the urine. Smoking Smoking is another important risk factor. Among men who smoke, the risk of developing diabetes is doubled. In women who smoke 25 or more cigarettes a day, the risk of developing diabetes is increased by 40 percent. Lifestyle Risk People who are less active have greater risk of developing diabetes. Modern conveniences have made work easier. Physical activity and exercise

helps control weight, uses up a lot of glucose (sugar) present in the blood as energy and makes cells more sensitive to insulin. Consequently, the workload on the pancreas is reduced.

Wash medium is visible when dry. Remember, that the media must be different between hot weather, overcast, and rain. In addition, most hated bromelia arid environments. In the armpit leaves should always be a pool of water.

Selecting Seed Jenmanii

Labels:
It should be considered in buying seeds Jenmanii is try to see its mother. By knowing indukannya, although there is no guarantee from the seller if bibitannya later as its parent, we can more or less calm.
The important thing is the seller or nursery can give assurance that the bibitannya derived from sires A, so that as buyers we feel relieved. At least, if any deviation occurs, not too far away from its mother.
A good parent does not necessarily produce good chicks all, but in general most of the seedlings produced good. Conversely, if the parent is not good, we can be sure that child is much less good. Because it is quite expensive considering the price of seeds, seedlings should buy out its parent tree.
What if can not see indukannya, because during the many merchants who sell nursery instead of the result of indukannya itself but from other people?
There are some important things to note, namely:
1. Leaf thickness
Leaves thick, generally resulting from a good parent, for example Cobra, mustard, Pagoda, Piton, Entong, Jackfruit leaves and so forth. Even when adults do not have the character, thick leafy jenmanii still have high economic value.
2. Prominent fiber
Fiber should be prominent. In the three four-leaf seedlings, leaf fibers usually already visible. The bigger, the more it is also clear fiber. Because the fiber is one sign of quality jenmanii, the prominent fibrous jenmanii have high economic value.
3. Leaf width
Choose a broad leaf, or a broad-leaf seedlings. Because most likely as adults will have the character, whether it be a bowl, sweta or other. But it does not mean that rather long leaves ugly. Understandably, jenmanii mutation frequently occurs during adulthood. Then maybe all, jenmani which leaves ugly form turn into a character like jaipong jenmanii, machete or other. Well lo.

Plants can be moved around placement, according to our wishes. Placement of plants in pots that fit, would also be improving the appearance of anthurium. Naturally, if planting in pots should not be taken lightly.
In other words, the pot should not be considered merely a container to accommodate the media and put the plant. Precisely, the pot should be regarded as an essential element for plant unsightly eye.
Type of Pot: There are many options pots, each is in terms of plus-minus.
Plastic pots. More durable, lightweight, and relatively cheaper price. Easily obtained. Colors, shapes and sizes vary. That advantage. Minusnya, plastic pots do not have pores that ensure the water can remain meremebes out if it is too saturated. It made udarta flow in growing media also became less smooth. In effect, the temperature rose in the pot so that it can easily damage the health of anthurium.
Porcelain or earthenware pot. The price is relatively more expensive. Not easily removed, they are heavy. This pot also has no pores in the walls. Beneficially, a variety of ceramic pots, from the plain to the patterned. Like it or not, anthurium will add authoritative placed in ceramic pots.
Pot cement. Pot cement rich in ornament form and is usually given as broken glass, shells or pebbles. Porous wall, so that if the excess water can escape. Fuss, weight is usually heavy. It takes several people to lift it.
Clay pots. Porous walls, ensures water will not be excessive in the media so that the air temperature in the media is also stable. Another advantage, not heavy clay pot and the price is relatively cheaper. Unfortunately, clay pots are very vulnerable, and easily broken. One-one lift, broken pots, growing media clutter and damaged crops.
Choosing Pot Proportionate:
The formula that we must hold in choosing a pot for plants anthurium is proporsionil for nice views. Sure is not porporsional and less aesthetic, if high anthurium leaves reach 1 meter, planted in pots 40 cm in diameter. Or vice versa, was inappropriate, long anthurium leaves 'only' 30 cm, placed in pots 45 cm in diameter.
There is a kind anthurium the superiority lies in the expanse of the leaves that inflates like a bird's wing. For this type of anthurium, should use the following formula: If the diameter of the exposition is 1 meter, select the diameter of the smaller pot about 20 percent of the stretch of these leaves. So a pot that fits, is 80 cm in diameter. If a stretch of only 60 cm leaves only, then use the pot 35 or 40 cm in diameter. And so on.
For certain types of anthurium, a symmetrical and proportionate pot just is not enough. For example on anthurium has leaves dangle down like anthurium vetchii, we still have to add a pillar in the bottom of the pot, to give exclusive effect on the anthurium.
In general, for anthurium has dashing figure, will be more visible if placed in the pot dazzle with stegger pillars underneath. Exclusive impression.
