Benefits of Wheat.

Wheat is one of the types of seeds. All types of grain are a source of complex carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals that are good for containing low levels of fat. While this type of whole-grains is called can provide the best benefits.

The wheat comes from around the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea right in Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Egypt and China, Chinese history recorded there are ancient writings explaining that there have been wheat crops in China in 2,700 BCE (BC).

Grain is composed of different parts of the inner to the outer skin, which can be grouped into three parts:

• Endosperm

This section is the largest component of wheat, 83% of the wheat seed is endosperm. Endosperm is also a major component of wheat flour to be utilized. Endosperm contains carbohydrates, protein, and a little greasy.

• Bran

Bran is the outer part of the grain, consists of 7 layers of 14.5%, and is a part of every grain. Bran is the component that gives it texture, color, and fiber in a certain type of flour.

• Germ

The Germ is the very inside of the grain, where new developing wheat plant shoots. The Germ has a high fat content and is the smallest part (2.5%) of grain.
There are three types of wheat:

• Hard wheat

The most abundant species of wheat grown in the world. The seeds have a hard, brownish red bran with protein levels and high water absorption, wheat of this type are generally used to make flour for bread with yeast.

• Soft wheat

The species are only slightly grown grown in the world. Each grain is composed of three to five. Have bran white yellowish, seed-bearing, as well as having the levels of protein and low water absorption. Soft wheat flour used in the match to make the cake, pastries, and other baked goods processed types, as well as biscuits crackers and cereals.

• Durum wheat

Most seeds with hard wheat, yellow endosperm, with high protein levels. Part of the endosperm is yellow, not white, like type of grain in General and have seeds that are louder, and have brown skin. Durum wheat is the best type of wheat to make a variety of refined pasta.

Benefits of Peanuts for Weight Loss

Peanuts are one of the tropical plants that grow in clumps that have tall 30 – 50 cm. Peanuts are a plant food in the form of shrubs native to South America.

Peanuts can be consumed directly after boiling or processed into food ingredients, such as cakes, jam, sweets, bread, or oil. Peanut oil is also rated relatively healthier than cooking oil in general because it contains not a single saturated fat content is high.

Nutritional value

Peanuts are rich in essential nutrients. In a 100 g serving, peanuts provide 570 calories and are an excellent source (defined as more than 20% of the Daily Value) of several B vitamins, vitamin E, several dietary minerals, such as manganese (95%), magnesium (52%) and phosphorus (48%), and dietary fiber. They also contain about 25 g protein per 100 g serving, a higher proportion than in many tree nuts.

A common cooking and salad oil, peanut oil is 46% monounsaturated fats (primarily oleic acid), 32% polyunsaturated fats (primarily linoleic acid), and 17% saturated fats (primarily palmitic acid). 

Benefits of peanuts

In particular, for those who were undergoing diet, beans can be beneficial to become friends. The study found that people who frequently eat nuts instead helped to lose weight, than not. 

Some benefits of peanut:

a) Lower Cholesterol
No saturated fat content which exists in the peanuts can lower the bad cholesterol in the human body.

b) Good for pregnant women
Folic acid in nuts needs to be consumed for a pregnant woman, much less starred pregnancy. The content, providing a deterrence against an infant born in conditions of disability.

c) Reduce the sense of depression
On the benefits of peanuts also contains essential amino acid content with the content of tryptophan, which can stimulate hydroxytryptamine controlling mood remains good.

d) Source of Energy for the body
Peanuts are also said to be a source of energy so that people who are on a diet will not be noticeable limp although only routinely consume peanuts.

e) Gall stones
Each one ounce of ground nuts or two tablespoons of peanut butter each week can lower the risk of gallstones or gallbladder disease by up to 25%.

f) Colon cancer
In ground nuts contain antioxidants that can eradicate foreign substances in the body, including cancer cells that could endanger the health of the human body. Nuts can reduce the risk of bowel cancer, especially in women. Eat at least 2 scoops of peanut butter twice a week can reduce the risk of colon cancer in women by up to 58% in men and up to 27%.

g) Keep your Weight
Women who ate nuts or peanut butter at least twice a week tend to be more prone to obesity than those who don't. Eating peanut butter every morning with a slice of bread, will provide opportunities for less experienced weight gain.

h) Prevent heart disease
Consumption of peanuts on a regular basis and in the amount recommended, really help maintain heart health. Optimize by not frying peanuts, but serve with boiled or steamed.

Side Effects Of Peanut

Although peanuts contain very many benefits to human health, to certain people thus became a disaster. Due to excessive intake of nuts can cause heartburn, and allergies.

If anyone has allergies peanuts, it could be that person also have allergies to all kinds of nuts. You are advised to avoid all products are peanuts, peanut oil, processed products include equipment used to cultivate peanuts.

In General, people who have peanut allergies will experience a reaction within minutes after touching or eating peanuts or products made from peanuts. 

In the reaction that is not severe, it will usually cause itching and abdominal pain. However, in severe conditions, usually begin with a tingling sensation in the mouth and then followed by swelling of the face, throat and mouth. This can lead to difficulty breathing, asthma attacks, shock even death.

PINEAPPLE CULTIVATION 2

3) Fertilization

In planting pineapple done giving of manure with a dose of 20 tonnes per hectare. How the grant:

• Be mixed evenly with a layer of soil over or inserted per hole for planting
• Use of inorganic fertilizers. Nitrogen (N) is indispensable to the growth of plants, phosphorus is needed for several months in early growth while Potassium is necessary for the development of fruit, especially pineapple. Its use of fertilizer, combined with the flowering stimulus.

Planting Techniques

Determination Of Planting Patterns

The cropping pattern is setting the layout of crops and crop kinds of sequences with given time, within a year. Pineapple cultivation in engineering there are several cropping systems, namely:

• Single line System or square with a distance of planting 150 x 150 cm both within and between rows; 90 x 30 cm distance in rows 30 cm, and the distance between rows is 90 cm
• Double line System with the planting distance is 60 x 60 cm, and the distance between rows of the left and right of the 2 rows are 150 cm and the distance of planting 45 x 30 cm, and the distance between the rows of plants to the left and right of the 2 rows of plants is 90 cm
• Triple row System with a distance of 30 x 30 cm planting forms the equilateral triangle with the distance between the rows of the left or right of the 3 rows of plants: planting and spacing 90 cm 40 x 30 cm with the distance between the rows of the left or right of the three ranks is 90 cm
• System line with distance fourfold 30 x 30 cm and the distance between rows of the left or right of the 4 row crop 90 cm.

The Planting Hole Making

The planting hole making on the trunks is selected in accordance with a system of planting. The planting hole size: 30 x 30 x 30 cm.
Planting

Good planting is done at the beginning of the rainy season. The steps are done:

• Make the planting hole in accordance with the distance and the selected cropping systems
• Take the pineapple seeds healthy and good and planted seedlings in planting holes available, each one seed per planting hole
• Soil pressed or compacted around the base of the stems of pineapple seedlings in order not easily collapsed and plant roots can direct contact with groundwater
• Done watering until the ground is damp and wet
• Planting the seeds of a pineapple don't get too deep, 3-5 cm section of the base of the stem buried in the ground so seeds easy foul.
Plant Maintenance
• Thinning and the stitching is
Spacing is not done because the pineapple, pineapple plant specific and not shaped like a tree. The activities of the stitching is required to replace pineapple plants that don't grow well in hopes of obtaining a uniform crop and synchronously.
• Weeding
Weeding is required to clean out the pineapple garden of weeds and weed competitor in terms of pineapple plant needs water, sunlight and nutrient elements. Weeds often become a den of disease. The weeding time depends on the growth of weeds in the garden, but to save the cost of weeding is done simultaneously with the activity of fertilization. Way of weeding is done by unplugging the grass. The soil around the base of the stem are seedbed on pineapple.
• Fertilizing
Fertilizing plants were carried out after 2-3 months with artificial fertilizers. Fertilizing subsequent repeated every 3-4 months to plant flowering and fruiting. Fertilizer following repeated every 4 months with the same dose.
• Irrigation and Watering
Although the pineapple plant resistant to a dry climate, however for optimum plant growth required enough water. Irrigation/watering done 1-2 times a week depending on the circumstances or the weather. Pineapple plant adults still need watering to stimulate flowering and fertilization optimally. Soil that is too dry can cause growth of dwarf and pineapple fruit is small.

4) Harvest

Harvest pineapple done after the age of 12-24 months, depending on the type of seed to be used. Crown seedlings originating from the flowers bear fruit at the age of 24 months, to harvest the fruit after 24 months. The plant comes from the stem shoots were harvested after age 18 months, while the root buds after 12 months.

Pineapple fruit traits that are ready for harvest:

• Open the fruit Crown
• Stalk change shrinks
• The eyes of fruit are more horizontal, round shape and large
• The color of the bottom of the yellow fruit
• Embossed pineapple fragrance, fragrant and distinctive.
If the fruit is ready for harvest, typically will grow pineapples under the parent tree seedlings are commonly called seeds of the armpit. So the cutting down of trees harvested pineapple with the parent, but still let the pineapples growing saplings beside or below.

How to harvest the pineapple:

• Pineapples are harvested by way of the base of the stalk horizontally or tilted cut fruit with a sharp knife and sterile
• Harvesting is done carefully so as not broken and bruised
• A plant that was 4-5 years need to be rejuvenated because its growth is slow and small fruits

How to disassemble a whole rejuvenation of the pineapple plant is to be replaced with the new seeds.
Potential production per hectare of a pineapple plant cultivated intensively can reach 38-75 tons/hectare. In general the average 20 tons/hectare, depending on the type of pineapple and planting systems.



PINEAPPLE CULTIVATION 1

PINEAPPLE CULTIVATION 1

A. Nursery

Pineapple planting success largely determined by the quality of the seed. Pineapple can captive breeding with the vegetative and generative way.

• How are vegetative shoots shoots from the root, stem, buds of fruit, fruit crowns and stem cuttings.
• Generative Ways with seeds that are grown with the seedbed, (rarely used). A good quality seeds must come from plants that grow in normal, healthy and free from pests and diseases.

a) Seed requirements

The good seeds should have leaves that look thick-thick contains full, free of pests and disease, easily obtained in large quantities, relatively uniform growth and easy transporting mainly to seedling stem cuttings.

b) Preparation of a seed

The seeds of a pineapple from seeds (generative) are rarely used because it requires special techniques and some kind of pineapple can not perform pollination itself and do not produce seeds.

How reproduction in a vegetative (root shoots) has distinctive features:

• Shoots growing from the stem section located in the ground
• The number of shots per clump of relatively few roots
• The shape of the leaves is more slender, adolescence root shoots are relatively short.

Other vegetative way (sprout stems) discrete shoots growing from the stem and the number of shoots per clump are relatively low.

Bud of the stem has distinctive:

• Shoots that grow on stalks of fruit under the fruit stalks and buds at the top of the stem
• Number of buds of fruit per plant are relatively a lot until it reaches 10 buds and shoots size varies from plant growth.

For vegetative way to the Crown of the fruit characteristics are:

• Shoots grown from the eyes of a non-active bud on the stem
• Then sown in sterile media with a special treatment as well as the number of seedlings produced many, uniforms, and easy to transport.

Preparation of seeds (the seeds) to pineapple plant seed buds differentiated into stems and seeds of pineapple from the cuttings. Preparation of seedling stem shoots:

• Select the parent tree trunk shoots which are fruiting/after harvest
• A good stem Shoots is the length of 30-35 cm.
• The leaves near the base of the tree was cut to reduce evaporation and makes it easy to transport
• After that leave for several days in the shade and the seeds are ready to transport to the place of direct planting soon planted.

For the preparation of pineapple seedlings from cuttings, the first step being performed are:

• Cut the stems of pineapple that already harvested the fruit along the 2.5 cm
• Then the pieces split into 4 sections containing the eye shoots
• For Media in the form of clean sand in the planting
• Seedlings produced with a height of 25-35 cm or 3-5 month revoked
• Are planted in the garden. When the seedlings will be transported in the distance, its roots wrapped in moist humus

c) Seeding Technique

The seedbed for pineapple require special treatment:

• It would be better if smeared aphrodisiac root (Rootone) on the surface parts of the rods to accelerate the growth of roots
• Parts of the stem on tub sown deep 1.5-2.5 cm planting distance and 5-10 cm
• Media Condition the seedbed is maintained to keep it moist and good air circulation, by covering with a plastic tub of the seedbed light translucent sheet
• Pineapple Stem Cuttings are allowed to germinate and take root. The media propagate nourished with compost
• Mixed media fine dirt, sand and smooth or granulated manure manure with smooth 

d) Of Nursery

Nursery/nursery maintenance, watering:

• Conducted periodically maintained in order for the condition of the planting medium is always moist and not dry so that the seed does not die
• Fertilizing is done by administering compost by comparing levels already determined
• Grant of a pesticide can be made if necessary
• Transfer of seedlings can be done if the size of the seedlings reaches a height of 25-30 cm or 3-5 months.

B. Planting Media Processing

1) Land preparation

• Preparation time and the opening of the land that is best when its summer time
• Dispose of trees not required
• Tillage can be done at the beginning of the rainy season
• Soil treated with hoe/hijacked as deep as 30-40 cm to lose
• Let the soil become dry for at least 15 days, so that ground ready planted

2) Establishment of the seedbed

The formation of the seedbed can be done simultaneously with the processing of the ground for a second time to suit the cropping systems being used. Seedbed enough by way of:

• Leveling the land
• Created the channel inflow and water disposal
• The system seedbed is done by way of making the dike wall-dike wall as wide as 80-120 cm
• The distance between the dike wall 90-150 cm or other variations of the cropping system in accordance with the
• Height map or dike wall is between 30-40 cm or adjust.

Benefits Of Pineapple For Health

Pineapple (Ananas comosus) is a tropical plant that originated in Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay. These plants included in the family Bromeliaceae. Stature (habitus) low herbaceous foliage (chronically) with 30 or more leaves is long, sharp-pointed, arranged in the form of a rosette of thick shaft encircling.

Pineapple plants, fruit always available throughout the year. Herbaceous annual or biennial, height 50-150 cm, there is a creeping on the shoots of his roots. The leaves are gathered in a rosette at the root and the base widens into a river. The leaves form a thick sword, a length of 80-120 cm, a width of 2-6 cm, tip taper to resemble thorns, barbed edges of paste that bends upward, the down side of flaky white, green or reddish green.

Compound interest is composed in a very green meeting, terminal and long-stemmed. The fruit is a Berry (botany) compound, long, fleshy, round, green, if the color becomes yellow Cook. Pineapples the fruit tastes good, sour to sweet.

Pineapple fruit nutrient content per 100 g:

• Energy: 52 CAL
• Protein: 0.4 g
• Fat: 0.2 g
• Phosphorus: 11 mg
• Iron: 0.3 mg
• Vitamin a: 130 IU
• Fiber: 0.4 g
• Calcium: 15 mg
• Vitamin C: 24 mg
• Carbohydrates: 13.7 g
• Vitamin B1:0.08 mg
• Water: 85.3 g


The content of Nutrients in a Pineapple

• According to alodokter.com

Pineapple fruit contains lots of vitamin c. In 3.5 Oz pineapple fruit contained 47.8 mg vitamin c. Additionally also contains B vitamins, various minerals such as manganese, and fiber. Pineapple fruit is the only source of bromelin, namely proteolytic enzymes that are widely used to treat a variety of diseases. To date, no scientific research that can ascertain whether bromelin is really useful as a treatment.

Pineapple juice can be used, where 200 ml pineapple juice contains about 25 mg of vitamin c. This is enough to meet the body's needs in vitamin C per day. You don't need to add sugar into pineapple juice, fruit because this one is already pretty sweet.

• According to webkesehatan.com

The most prominent nutrient content of pineapples is vitamin C and manganese. The content of vitamin C in 165 g pineapple reach 105.1% per day. While the content of manganese sufficiently 76.5% per day.
In addition, extract a core of fruit and stems contain proteolytic enzymes pineapple bromelin that can help break down proteins. Any pineapple is rich in copper, and contains quite a lot of vitamin B1, vitamin B6, folate, fiber, food and pantothenic acid. Vitamin A is also found in pineapple, although in small numbers.

Benefits Of Pineapple For Health:

•  Help lose weight

Pineapple good consumed in weight loss diet because of the low calorie content. In 100 grams of pineapple, only contained 50 calories equivalent to Apple. One study in the Netherlands shows that the potent bromelin eliminate fat. Ingestion of bromelin for 30 days can help lose weight by 4.27 kg.

• Enhance Immunity

Vitamin C in pineapple can boost the immune system because it is a powerful antioxidant effect. In addition, pineapple contains the amino acids that are richer. Substance of amino acids helps increase immune system and maintain the availability of the energy in the body to avoid fatigue.

• Helps Digestion

Like many other fruits and vegetables, pineapple contains dietary fiber which is very important in keeping You regular and in maintaining intestinal health. But unlike many other fruits and vegetables, pineapple contains large amounts of bromelin, an enzyme that breaks down proteins, it may aid digestion.

• Prevent Hypertension

Someone who is likely to have high blood pressure, surely will try to make the blood pressure back stable. The right choice of food being one of them, i.e. by considering the pineapple diet for hypertension. The amount of the high potassium content such as that found on the benefits of bananas. But conceive a low sodium, will help maintain normal blood pressure levels.

• Relieve Nausea

Fresh pineapple juice can relieve the nausea, for example, to cope with morning sickness. This is quite useful for pregnant women who are typically experiencing nausea. It also helps people who are travelling with a vehicle, which often leads to drunk.

• Strengthen Bones

Not only the benefits of milk containing calcium for bone health. But the substance of manganese is present in abundant quantities in the pineapple and helps strengthen bones and connective tissue. A cup of pineapple juice will give you approximately 73% of manganese required for the day. A study shows results that manganese together with other minerals, can help in preventing osteoporosis in women post-menopause.

• Skin

The pineapple gives support to the synthesis of collagen in the body. The higher the synthesis of collagen will make the skin becomes more elastic. In addition, other nutrients in it such as amino acids and vitamin C affects cells and tissues that are damaged in order to be corrected quickly. Use the new pineapple juice on face then wash using lukewarm water after 10 minutes.


Warning, consuming pineapple should not be exaggerated because pineapple can trigger causes the occurrence of some allergies. Therefore, the consumption of any food wisely to get the proper benefits.

Stages of the cultivation of plants

Currently the demand for herbal drugs are increasingly high. Various types of medicines are already using basic ingredients, medicinal herbs as the main ingredient of drug makers. Often the price offered herbal medicine manufacturer outrageously high.

The cultivation of medicinal plants in the Yard of the House as an alternative replacement, herbal remedies that are on the market. You can also save some money up to 80%, the remaining 20% can be in need to buy pots and fertilizers for growing herb lawns.

Success in planting a crop is indicated by growing and growing plants you sow them. Not a few are indeed failing in terms of cultivation of this plant, but it is not recommended to lose motivation to plant just about any plant you want to embed. You have to keep the spirit of doing your hobby on this one.
Stages of the cultivation of plants are done as follows:

Land management

Some things that should be noted in the land for cultivation medicinal plants include:

• For medicinal plants that are free of the results in the form of bulbs (tuber) is generally the desired processing-processing of land deep enough (25 – 40 cm), the loose structure so that the growth of the rhizome or tuber can be well developed.
• Avoid mixed parent material that has not occurred on the grounds of weathering plant. For it needs for sufficient time to give the chance of occurrence of weathering processes, among others, the process of oxidation, so it will form layers of soil that ensures the growth of roots. It was important at the time of making the hole the ground (as deep as 40 x 60) for medicinal plants, trees, shaped like cloves (Eugenia caryophyllata), Kola (Cola nitida).
• Manufacture of terrace – terrace when the ground is too tilted, so that erosion can be minimized, e.g. in planting Citronella (Cymbopogon nardus).
• Intensive tillage, weed free and tried in the early growth of medicinal plants.
• The making of land for planting seeds, often equipped with drainage channels, especially for plants that are not tolerant of standing water. Like Chili (Capsicum annuum).

Planting

Things that need to get consideration on the cultivation of medicinal plants, among others:

• Given to General cultivation on dry land without irrigation and the weather is hot enough, then the planting was done at the beginning of the rainy season.
• Planting with distance or regular line will be better viewed in terms of the physiology of plant maintenance and aesthetics.
• Planting singly (monoculture) especially for plants that cannot bear the light of the Sun, e.g. Menthol (Mentha piperita).
• Double Planting can be done on plants that require shade or for its growth can adapt to indirect sunlight, for example, Cubeb (Piper cubeba). Plants that can be mutually tolerant of competition because they can meet several objectives, among others: expand the acreage for planting (at one place and time were planted more than one kind of plant), saving maintenance, decrease the risk of crop failures. The use of cantilever for medicinal plants that have stems of climbing plants with a system of dual stanchion can only be replaced by an upright and then plants can also produce.
• Population of plant closely related to results, among others, influenced by the occurrence of competition between plants and soil fertility.

Plant maintenance

Some measures on maintenance of medicinal plants are:

• Seeds are easily withering, the need for the timing of his planting so it does not get excessive sunlight, such as planting Tempuyung (Sonchus arvensis) should be done in the afternoon and was given the temporary shade.
• Weeding intensive in order to suppress the weed population besides can reduce the chance of growing the crop effort can also interfere with the results of hygiene at the time of harvest (i.e. On the plant, Mentha arvensis)
• Hoarding and make the land becomes tender is done in order to improve the nature of the ground where it grows.
• To reduce evaporation (evaporation) of groundwater, so soil moisture can keep fit, do the giving of mulch. For example, in plant ginger (Zingiber officinale) the granting of straw mulch can increase the yield of 35%.
• Pruning flowers, which means preventing changes to the generative vegetative phase many requires energy, so the nutritious substances as a source of energy is not reduced. On the plant glycosides diosgenin content of Dioscorea compositae can grow with done trimming interest rates.
• Trimming the tops of the stems will stimulate branching, so as to increase the number of leaves that grow as well as the content of the principal in the roots grow. For example, Orthosiphon stamineus.

Harvest

Some of the determination when the harvest:

• For the plant Familia Zingiberaceae, harvesting is done at the time of the above ground parts of the plants ripen or yellow that normally occur in the dry season, and if that's taken root. For Example (Curcumaxanthorrhiza)
• Leaves collected during the process of photosynthesis a maximum before the formation of the fruit. E.g. plant Saga (Abrus praecatorius).
• Flowers are picked while still in bud (before) for example, at clove (Eugenia caryophyllata).
• Fruit picked ahead of Cook, e.g. Solanum laciniatum while fennel Anethum graveolens is quoted after Cook was right.
• Seed should have at the time of fruit ripening.
• Skin has taken during sprouting.

How To Treat Prostate Cancer?

Prostate cancer is the growth of cells uncontrollably in the prostate gland. The prostate is a small gland in the male pelvis, which is part of the reproductive system. The prostate is located below the bladder in front of the rectum. The prostate gland surrounds the urethra, that channel that carries urine from the bladder to the penis.

The prostate produces fluids that help nourish and protect your sperms. During ejaculation, the prostate secretes fluid into the urethra. There are prostate cancers that are aggressive and can spread quickly. But in General, prostate cancer grows slowly and does not spread.

According to the WHO data, prostate cancer is the most common cancer cases second-order in men. Approximately 1.1 million men worldwide, is diagnosed with prostate cancer and there are 307 thousand cases of death in the year 2012.

Prostate cancer is the leading cause of death due to cancer No. 3 in men. Age is also a factor, where the 40-year-old man has a level of risk between 200,000 whereas the moment they stepped on the age of 50 years, the level of risk of developing cancer of the prostate increased to 12 per 100,000 people, and be 12 of 10,000 men by the time they stepped on the age of 60 years.

In addition to age, here are some factors that can increase the risk of developing cancer of the prostate:

• Family health history. If there are family men who suffer from prostate cancer or women who had breast cancer, your risk for developing cancer of the prostate will increase.
• The food. Consuming foods containing high calcium too often can also increase the risk of developing cancer of the prostate.
• Obesity. Excess weight increases the risk of a man affected by prostate cancer.
• Change genes. Some changes to inherited genes can increase the risk of developing cancer of the prostate.
• Some type of food. Men often consume red meat or dairy products are high in fat will have a risk of developing cancer of the prostate is slightly higher than the guy who's just a bit of consuming both types of food.
• Chemical material Exposure.
• Prostate Inflammation. Some studies mention that prostate inflammation is associated with increased risk of prostate cancer.
• Smoking.
• Sexually transmitted diseases, such as gonorrhea or chlamydia can probably place increases the risk of cancer types

Prostate Cancer Symptoms
 
Prostate cancer may not cause any symptoms in the early stages. Prostate cancer symptoms prostate occurs when too large or swell and start to affect the urethra.

We see the following symptoms:

• Difficult urination
• Pain when urinating
• Out blood when urinary
• Hard an erection or hold an erection
• Blood in the sperm
• Defecate Hard and there are other digestive tract problems
• Continuous Pain in the lower back, hips or thighs in the top
• Frequent urination at night
• The reduced quantity of urine
• Swelling in the feet

A Diagnosis Of Prostate Cancer
 
There are a lot of tests and examinations to determine the diagnosis of prostate cancer. The most common test for detecting prostate cancer is:

• Screening tests for early detection
• The Digital Rectal Examination (DRE) – this procedure performed by a doctor using a finger that was already wearing gloves to inspect part of the rectum. The doctor will be able to feel the lump or growth of prostate cancer.
• Tests for Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Test – this test is the most common initial tests done to detect prostate cancer. Done in this test is checking the levels of PSA, namely proteins produced by cells of the prostate gland in the blood. The higher simply applied, the greater the possibility of cancer, although other factors can cause a rise in PSA content.

Tests for diagnosing prostate cancer

• Prostate Biopsies – if there is a suspicion of prostate cancer, a biopsy is performed procedure – which raised promptly sent a sample to the network. When the result turned out to be positive, then it takes a bone scan or scan using a computer is done in the pelvic area to ascertain how far the cancer has spread.
• Trans-Rectal Ultrasound – this procedure uses sound waves to obtain visualization of the prostate gland. This procedure is most often used in conjunction with the biopsy procedures to guide the needle towards the prostate gland which allegedly contained tumors.

Tests after cancer is diagnosed

• PSA Levels – when cancer positive PSA rate been undiagnosed, can help ensure its spread. When the PSA level below 20ng/ml, then most likely the cancer has not spread to other organs of the body. The PSA level is more than 40ng/ml is a strong indication that the cancer has spread to other parts of the body.
• Tests Metastases – when a biopsy has indicated the presence of cancer, another test should be conducted to find out how far the cancer has spread. A bone scan and x-rays can ascertain whether the cancer has spread to the bone. CT scan or MRI can further be locating cancer appropriately.

How to treat prostate cancer?
 
In some cases, due to prostate cancer takes a long time to grow, then the treatment has risks of its own. The doctor may choose to monitor the tumor rather than treat it immediately. It is caused by a dependent treatment against several factors such as the stage of cancer, symptoms, age, as well as the general condition of the patient's health.

• Surgery. When a treatment has been determined, the process may involve the appointment of cancer through surgical procedures, by lifting the prostate gland cancer, when only the local only. Total healing opportunities are extremely high on such cases, but can cause side effects lack of urine or impotence
• Radiation therapy. Using high-energy x-rays are directed to kill cancer cells.
• Hormone therapy. This procedure can be used to treat cancer that has spread further than the prostate where the hormone is used to counteract the effects of testosterone and slows the growth of cancer.
• Chemotherapy. Occasional time in some cases, chemotherapy is used to alleviate or eliminate the effects of prostate cancer symptoms when other treatments assessed procedure less effective.

Drugs that can be used to treat prostate cancer is:

• Mitoxantron

Malaria symptoms and treatment

Malaria is an infectious disease caused by the Protozoan parasite genus Plasmodium that attacks red blood cells.
The disease is widespread in tropical and subtropical regions that are in wide ribbon around the equator. This includes many from sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and Latin America. In 2015, there are 214 million cases of malaria around the world. This has resulted in approximately 90% of the death, 438,000 of which occur in Africa. Disease rates declined from 2000 to 2015, amounting to 37%, but increased from 2014 where there are 198 million cases.

The disease is transmitted through the female anopheles mosquito bites. There are several species of the anopheles mosquito, among others:

Plasmodium Vivax
Plasmodium Ovale
Plasmodium Falciparum
Plasmodium Malarie
Plasmodium Vivax
Plasmodium Knowlesi

Plasmodium Vivax is the parasitic protozoa and human pathogens. P. Vivax is one of four species of malarial parasite that generally attack humans. P. Vivax is carried by the female Anopheles mosquito.

Plasmodium Ovale is a parasite is more rare than two other parasites, and not as dangerous P. Falciparum.

Plasmodium Falciparum is a Protozoan was entered into the human body through Anopheles mosquito females. P. Falciparum causes the most dangerous infections and complications and mortality rate of malaria.

Plasmodium Malarie is closely related to Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax, which causes most of the malaria infection.

Plasmodium Knowlesi which causes malaria in macaques, known lately in Southeast Asia also infect humans.
Plasmodium Falciparum, Plasmodium Malarie, Plasmodium Vivax malaria is kind of all over the world. Sentara that type of malaria Plasmodium Ovale is normally only found in Africa. Plasmodium Falciparum malaria type is the most cause of death.

Plasmodium life cycle starting from the entry of the sporozoit into the human bloodstream. In less than 30 minutes will move to the liver, and within 6-16 days will grow into the thousands Merozoit. Merozoit moved into the bloodstream and thrive there.
