Free Radicals and Antioxidants ( a short explanation )

Image
In our bodies, several processes can generate free radicals, including exposure to ultraviolet radiation in sunlight, exposure to x-rays, and some reactions that occur during normal metabolic processes. Free radicals may have positive, negative, or zero charge. With some exceptions, the unpaired electrons cause radicals to be highly chemically reactive. Certain harmful substances, such as carbon tetrachloride (a solvent used in dry cleaning), also give rise to free radicals when they participate in metabolic reactions in the body. Among the many disorders, diseases, and conditions linked to oxygen-derived free radicals are cancer, atherosclerosis, Alzheimer disease, emphysema, diabetes mellitus, cataracts, macular degeneration, rheumatoid arthritis, and deterioration associated with aging.

Hagar and Sarah

Image
This is the story about Hagar the slavery and Sarah the freedom Galatians 4 : 21 - 28 21 Tell me, you who want to be under the law, are you not aware of what the law says? 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman. 23 His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born as the result of a divine promise. 24 These things are being taken figuratively: The women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children who are to be slaves: This is Hagar. 25 Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children. 26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother. 27 For it is written:    “Be glad, barren woman,    you who never bore a child; shout for joy and cry aloud,    you who were never in labor; because more are the childr

The Main Reason Why Christian Celebrate Christmas

Image
Why Christian celebrate Christmas every year aren’t they bored ? I wonder what is the main reason why Christian around the universe Celebrate Christmas. So I went to search from many people, expert, book, internet and I found this unbelievable reason that I can’t understand easily because how can a Father do such thing to his Son ! so here is the reason : From John 3 : 16 - 21 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light

Hipertensi pada perempuan ( Women Hypertension )

Image
  Obat kontraseptif oral dapat meningkatkan tekanan darah dan resiko  meningkat dengan lamanya penggunaan. Perempuan yang menggunakan obat oral kontraseptif harus memeriksa tekanan darah secara teratur.   Timbulnya hipertensi adalah suatu alasan untuk mempertimbangkan penggunaan kontrasepsi lainnya. Sebaliknya, terapi pengganti hormon tidak menaikkan tekanan darah. Wanita hamil dengan hipertensi harus dimonitor dengan hati-hati karena resiko ke ibu dan fetus akan meningkat. Metildopa, penyekat beta, dan vasodilator adalah obat-obat yang disukai demi keamanan fetus. ACEI dan ARB tidak boleh digunakan selama kehamilan karena berpotensi untuk cacat fetus dan harus dihindari pada perempuan yang diduga hamil atau berencana hamil. Preeklampsia timbul setelah minggu gestasi ke 20, ditandai dengan onset baru atau bertambah parahnya hipertensi, albuminuria, dan hiperurisemia, kadang-kadang dengan abnormalitas koagulasi. Pada beberapa pasien, preeklampsi dapat menjadi hipertensi urgens

Achilles Tendon Rupture

Image
Author: Brian A Jacobs, MD, FACSM; Chief Editor: Sherwin SW Ho, MD more... Background Achilles tendon ruptures commonly occur to otherwise healthy men between the ages of 30 and 50 years who have had no previous injury or problem reported in the affected leg. Those who suffer this injury are typically "weekend warriors" who are active intermittently. Most Achilles tendon tears occur in the left leg in the substance of the tendoachilles, approximately 2-6 cm – the "watershed zone" – above the calcaneal insertion of the tendon. That the left Achilles tendon is torn more frequently may be related to handedness; right-handed individuals "push off" more frequently with the left foot. The most common mechanisms of injury include sudden forced plantar flexion of the foot, unexpected dorsiflexion of the foot, and violent dorsiflexion of a plantar flexed foot. Other mechanisms include direct trauma and, less frequently, attrition of the tendon as a result

In Memoriam of Memecan ( My Lovely Dog )

Image
"Memecan" He is my Dog, I love him sooooo Much. He died last year and how i miss him so much right now :( "He is my other eyes that can see above the clouds; my other ears that hear above the winds. He is the part of me that can reach out into the sea. He has told me a thousand times over that I am his reason for being; by the way he rests against my leg; by the way he thumps his tail at my smallest smile; by the way he shows his hurt when I leave without taking him. (I think it makes him sick with worry when he is not along to care for me.) When I am wrong, he is delighted to forgive. When I am angry, he clowns to make me smile. When I am happy, he is joy unbounded. When I am a fool, he ignores it. When I succeed, he brags. Without him, I am only another man. With him, I am all-powerful. He is loyalty itself. He has taught me the meaning of devotion. With him, I know a secret comfort and a private peace. He has brought me understanding where before I was

Singapore Experienced ( Jalan- jalan Asyik ke Singapura ) – Part 1

Image
Jika anda belum pernah ke luar negeri dan ingin mencoba pergi ke luar negeri, maka destinasi pertama yang saya sarankan untuk anda kunjungi adalah Singapura, karena hanya Singapura lah satu-satunya negara di kawasan Asia Tenggara yang paling berbeda dari negara - negara lainnya ( menurut pengalaman saya ) dimana negara - negara kawasan Asia Tenggara lainnya saya rasa mirip dengan kota-kota besar lainnya di Indonesia seperti Jakarta. Jalan-jalan ke luar negeri seperti Singapura sekarang ini jauh lebih murah daripada jalan-jalan di dalam negeri sendiri contohnya ke Bali ( kok bisa ya??). Singapura merupakan negara yang sangat kecil, kita dapat menjelajahi seluruh Negara singapura hanya dalam waktu 1 hari ( capekkkk bos ) ya kalo mau nyantai minimal kita liburan disana selama 4 hari 3 malam untuk dapat mengunjungi seluruh bagian Singapura dan menikmati semua pusat hiburan di Singapura. Terdapat banyak penerbangan dari Indonesia ke Singapura yang sangat terjangkau mulai dari A

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera - Lewis Hine And in fact I don't believe there is such a thing as a definitive picture of something. The land is a living, breathing thing and light changes its character every second of every day. That's why I love it so much.   Fay Godwin       Flickr Tags: darryl virgiawan , photography Flickr Tags: darryl virgiawan , photography Flickr Tags: darryl virgiawan , photography   Flickr Tags: darryl virgiawan , photography Flickr Tags: darryl virgiawan , photography Flickr Tags: darryl virgiawan , photography   Flickr Tags: darryl virgiawan , photography
