Renal Failure due to E Coli Infections
Renal Failure due to E Coli Infections - Gastrointestinal infection that caused by Escherichia coli(E coli)bacteria, commonly will caused the diarrhea stomach cramps at longest a week after consume the polluted food. But, at the plague case that cause by one of this E coli, sufferers can experience a rare renal complication, called hemolytic uremic syndrome.
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is the renal failure that rare found. Usually this is only suffer 5-15% population, especially at child that get infection of E coli.
When we eat foods contaminated with E coli, in intestinal organisms will remove toxins and absorbed into the blood vessels are then carried by white blood cells (leucocytes) to the kidneys. This will cause acute renal impairment.
The impact is more fatal than the disease is damage to the brain, seizures, even coma. This disease can also cause complications in organ pancreas and other organs.
Meanwhile, specialist in internal medicine from Cipto Mangunkusumo, dr. Ari Fahrial Sp.PD-KGEH, explains, kidney failure due to bacterial infection may occur when a person experiences a very severe dehydration.
The initial symptoms that arise in patients infected with E. coli, said Ari, in general is severe diarrhea. As a result, the body is dehydrated which can lead to disruption of kidney function. In addition, other factors such as toxins or poisons that are released or produced by bacteria in the body can cause kidney failure.
No need to panic
Bacteria E coli infection for humans has a very broad impact. Mostly, this bacterial infection has a low mortality rate, but a high incidence rate.
Outbreaks of E coli in Europe, is thought to occur because of the habit of consuming raw vegetables such as cucumbers and salad.

Black Coffee Can Increase Body Metabolism
Black Coffee Can Increase Body Metabolism - The key for slim and decrease the weight of body is by speed the metabolism system. Except sport, Black Coffee actually can help to increase body metabolism.
The main thing that causes rapid or slow weight gain is the metabolic system and the process of burning calories. The higher the metabolism, the food is digested faster and burn more calories, so it does not cause fat deposits in the body.
Metabolism is the process of the body that convert food and beverages consumed into energy. During a complex biochemical process, calories in foods and beverages that are combined with oxygen to release energy needed for bodily functions.
Black coffee is one drink that can help increase your metabolism. In addition to fat-free, black coffee (without sugar) is also free of calories that can play a role in weight loss.
Several studies have shown that the caffeine in black coffee may act as a temporary appetite suppressant, so it can reduce the desire to eat, as reported by mayoclinic, Tuesday (31/05/2011).
Caffeine is also believed to provide a temporary boost to the body's metabolism. In this case, the body will digest the food to produce energy and heat a little faster than usual. This process is known as thermogenesis.
Caffeine can also stimulate physical activity, which burns extra calories. If caffeine makes you feel more awake, you can burn more calories through increased thermogenesis and physical movement. However, the impact of caffeine on thermogenesis varies from person to person.
For some people, the caffeine in black coffee also acts as a diuretic. This means that caffeine causes a greater excretion of water from the body that is in the form of urine.
Therefore, black coffee can promote weight loss through water loss from the body. However, this reduction is usually not permanent, because the body does not lose any fat.

Role of Genes Mesothelin in Cancer Establishment
Role of Genes Mesothelin - The Researcher from Japan, latest have research the mechanism from gen mesothelin that get effect of malignant mesothelioma. This study published in doctoral journal of Human Pathology.
Mesothelioma is a rare cancer that occurs almost entirely caused by exposure to asbestos. Since there is no cure for this disease, life expectancy for most mesothelioma patients ranged between four and 18 months after diagnosis of mesothelioma is known for sure. Although there is no cure to date, some patients who are diagnosed early mesothelioma can be given a combination of aggressive therapy, such as surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Combination therapy, known as multimodality therapy, currently has the best chance to prolong the life of the patient.
The study's authors explain, "Gene methylation led to the development of malignant tumors in several tumor [malignant mesothelioma] are histologically divided into 3 subtypes, namely, epithelioid, sarcomatoid, and biphasic type, and it shows that mesothelin expression is restricted to epithelioid type and the epithelioid component of biphasic MM type (malignant mesothelioma). However, the mechanism of expression regulation has not been clarified. "
