worms that eat human brains



North Caroline, lost balance, dizziness, difficulty in swallowing and numbness of the body is often diagnosed as symptoms of brain tumors. But perhaps it was not but a symptom of cysticercosis of brain tumors. The reason is that undermined the tapeworm and eating human brains.

The initial symptoms the patient complained of symptoms that are similar to a brain tumor or stroke. Even when performed MRI scans, an abnormal growth of brain tumor looks like growth.

But when Dr. Peter Nakaji, a surgeon from the Barrow Neurological Institute operated on a patient with these disorders, she was shocked to discover something strange in the brains of his patients.

"As a surgeon I found a lot of bad things and strange, including when I found the parasitic worms gnawing at the brain of living patients. Worm can cause degeneration of the brain very rapidly," he said as quoted from the LiveScience Nakaji, Monday (21 / 12 / 2009).

Parasitic worms that enter the brain is Taenia solium worms that live in animal tissues of pigs. "A person who is infected with this tapeworm does not mean sloppy, but it could come from foods containing these parasitic worms," Nakaji says.

Cases of parasitic worms in the human brain is increasing in America. More than 20 percent of the neurologist in California ever get this case. Parasitic worms known as cysticercosis is derived from pig intestines and may enter the human body and organs develop in the gut or brain.

If anyone eats worm larvae contained in meat, the larvae that will culminate in the intestine and develop like an alien. A worm can produce 50,000 eggs per day. But if the meat was contaminated by the eggs of pig dung and cooked hot deengan is not perfect, then that is what triggers the growth of worms in the brain.

"Unlike the larvae, the worm eggs are more likely to pass through the blood stream. From there, the egg will spread to all parts of the body, including muscle, beneath the surface of the skin and brain," Raymond Kuhn, professor of biology and parasite expert from Wake Forest University, Winston- Salem, North Caroline.

According to Kuhn, cysticercosis is a major problem in several Latin American countries and Mexico because the habits of people there who eat undercooked pork. This disease could spread if an infected person has a bad habit like seldom washed her hands.

"The eggs Taenia solium worms that can survive in formaldehyde, harsh and hazardous materials though. Imagine if he lives in a network that is not dangerous, such as human organs. If allowed to continue, he could eliminate important organs in the human body, "Kuhn said.

For some cases, surgical removal of worms in the body is not needed because enough with the drugs, these worms can die. But if the worm is already branching into areas of the brain, there is no more steps that could save patients than surgical removal of worms because if left to risk even death can approach.

Cold weather causes vasoconstricion

In Indonesian society, we often hear the term "Wind Sign."
The word "Come Wind" is their use if they feel:

colds



Often they wear a thick jacket while driving a motor with a goal, that "baseball into the wind" .. they may assume that the "wind" can be entered through the pores of our bodies, and with the mechanism "somehow" can lead to complaints not feeling as mentioned above.

Actually, in terms of Medicine, NO term "cold", and a variety of complaints mentioned above can indeed be caused by Cold Weather (they may wind many) but not as had been thought by many ordinary people ... (incoming wind ..).
Cold weather can cause the mechanism of "vasoconstricion" where there is narrowing of blood vessels of us, this is a mechanism to inhibit excessive expenditure of body heat, so it does not happen hipotermy. Well .. vasoconstriction (narrowing) of blood vessels can cause blood circulation in our bodies is substandard, so the result of metabolism, and lactic acid accumulates in our muscles sore .. and consequently the whole body not bad ...

In addition, cold weather also led to "a slowing of gastrointestinal peristalsis us", so that gas in our digestive tract can be accommodated so the stomach feels bloated ... full ... plus they may happen that the name "Aerophagi" (Eating wind) nah .. this may be that often we experience when we ride motorcycles, or Roller Coaster ride, but with open mouth (Mangap), consequently a lot of wind who ingested by us, so we are satisfied with the wind (puffy-red). Uh ... Uh ..

Worse yet, the cold weather, can lead to hair cells in our respiratory tract is slow to move .. but the function of these movements is to remove mucus and bacteria and viruses. As a result of malfunctioning of hairs in the respiratory tract, we will be prone to upper respiratory tract infections such as coughs, colds, etc. ..
Well, medicine, nostrum that "Wes .. .. ewes ewes. . Bablas wind "air release only works in the digestive tract (so often exhaust gas), and warms the body because it contains a lot of ginger, etc. .. (that's OK ...).

But, if nostrum for Pegel Pegel-deh .. better .. because many do not contain steroids and pain relievers non-steroidal drugs (NSAIDs), which can cause many other complications, such as stomach pain, even to stomach bursting ( leak) .. Be careful ..

If kerokan be ga? Do Deh .. Because kerokan actually to solve the blood capillaries, so that feels good because blood vessels widen again .. but .. waw .. our body and severely damaged Did you know you are, why people think the habit dipijet and scraped addiction? it is because our bodies will release substances "endorphins" A kind of morphine but endogenous (produced by the body), as a defense mechanism against the pain ... Happens to kayak aja nge-fly ... (that's not good ...!)

Are highly malignant cancer cells, in a matter of days, the numbers can add up quickly depending on the physical condition of the patient and trigger factor. This is because the cancer cells spread angiogenik substances, ie substances that stimulate new blood vessel formation. Thus, cancer cells can freely take food substances in the body of patients for cancer detection bermetastasis.Keterlambatan is usually the main cause of the high number of deaths from this disease.
