No matter how small Inflammation Can Interfere with Iron Absorption

Giving iron supplements is one solution to overcome the anemia that figure is still high in Southeast Asia. But this solution is considered less successful, partly because of the presence of inflammation or inflammation is often overlooked.

During this time, the inflammation can affect the absorption of iron and only the visible inflammation triggered by infection. Therefore, iron supplementation in malaria endemic areas is controversial because some experts judged it can actually worsen the infection.

But the latest research in the Faculty of Medicine University of Indonesia (Faculty of medicine) to prove, that mild inflammation and invisible (subclinical) can also inhibit iron absorption. These findings are considered able to answer why supplementation is often less successfully overcome anemia.

"I'm not saying it fails, but is generally less successful. One of them yes it was, it turns out there is inflammation of the invisible," said pediatrician from the Faculty of medicine, Prof. Dr. Ali Purbaya Arwin Akib, SpA (K) is a promoter in research to achieve The doctoral degree, when found in the Faculty of medicine, on Wednesday (06/07/2011).

Dr. Min Kyaw Htet, MMedSc, Myanmar nationals who conducted the study involving 1269 high school student in the area of ​​the Irrawaddy, Myanmar with an average age of 19 years. All the participants free of hemoglobinopathy, the trigger condition such as iron deficiency anemia in addition to Thalassemia.

The high number of penerita anemia or malnutrition, especially that caused by a deficiency or iron deficiency does not only happen in Indonesia. Other developing countries in Southeast Asia region is still experiencing, one of Myanmar.

It was recognized by Dr. Min, who several years ago was also involved in research on anemia of iron in the Thousand Islands. According to the number of anemic patients in Myanmar still reach 60 percent, higher than Indonesia, if viewed percentage.

Air Pollution Threatens Not Just Breathing But Can Damage the Brain

Not only can harm the respiratory tract, a new study finds that long-term exposure to air pollution can also cause physical changes in the brain, which eventually cause problems in learning and memory abilities.

The study also found an association between air pollution and higher rates of depression and anxiety.

Researchers find brain's hippocampus area of ​​the long-term exposure to pollution will have reduced the complexity of the cell, namely the changes that have been linked to decreased learning ability and memory capability.

"The results suggest exposure to polluted air could show a negative effect on the brain, which can cause various health problems," said Laura Fonken from Ohio State University, as reported by LiveScience, Wednesday (07/06/2011).

According to him, these results could have important implications and disturbing for people who live and work in urban areas with polluted air around the world.

Although studies have been published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry was conducted in mice, but researchers say it has the same effect in humans.

In the study, mice were given filtered air and polluted air for six hours a day, five days a week for 10 months, which is almost half the life span of mice. Polluted air containing fine particles such as those made by cars and factories.

According to the Department of Neuroscience, Ohio State University, the concentration of particles inhaled mice equivalent to what people breathe in some polluted urban areas.

After 10 months of study, rats underwent several behavioral tests. All rats were trained to find the hole for five days, but mice that breathed polluted air takes longer to learn where the holes were and are less able to remember where he was when tested.

In another experiment, rats were exposed to polluted air also showed higher levels of depression compared to mice who breathed filtered air.
