Bipolar Patients Tend to Have Higher Creativity

Jakarta, "There is no great genius who ever lived without having some kind of madness," said Aristotle. Now psychiatrists have found seems to greeting the Greek philosophers had a point.

The researchers studied 300,000 people are hospitalized because of mental illness and found patients who have bipolar disorder are more likely to work in creative professions.

Family of bipolar patients who do not have mental disorders are also more likely to engage in creative work as designers, artists, musicians, writers or university professors.

Bipolar disorder, also known as manic depressive disorder and affects about 1 percent of the population in the U.S.. Bipolar is characterized by extreme mood swings are very unstable from the very happy and then suddenly become very sad or depressed.

Bipolar disorder can last for days or even months. Unlike normal mood changes, mood swings in bipolar patients with very severe that it interferes with the performance.

"Most people who are creative do not have a mental illness, and most people who are mentally ill are usually not creative. But there is a disproportionate rate of mental disorders, especially bipolar disorder, in individuals who are very creative," said researcher Professor Kay Redfield from Johns Hopkins University of Medicine as dukutip from The Independent, Friday (4/11/201).

"It is not known why it happens, but there may be a gene that creativity does not only play a role in certain types of professions, but in bipolar as well," said Dr. Lori Altshuler of UCLA Mood Disorders Research Program who did not participate in the study.

"Bipolar patients have an unusual anatomy of the brain. Reduced settings frontal brain that play a role in influencing the ability of the amygdala and striatum affective thus enhancing affective instability and kompulsifitas," said Katherine P. Rankin, Ph.D. from the University of California-San Francisco.

The idea of ​​the settings seems to cause a reduction in bipolar patients are more sensitive and reactive to external stimuli.

"The brain creative people seem more open to incoming stimuli from the surrounding environment," said Katherine.

Distinguishing hard Eggs Healthy and Infected Bacteria


Behind his usefulness as a healthy food, eggs are very vulnerable to infection with Salmonella bacteria. But unfortunately, to find out if an egg is healthy or infected with the bacteria hard to do. What can be done only to prevent it.

Eggs may contain harmful food bacteria called Salmonella enteritidis (S. enteritidis). These bacteria usually enter the egg through several ways, one of which is the egg shell contamination with dirt.

Can also because it already has laying hens with Salmonella bacteria in the intestines. In humans this bacteria is found in the intestines and feces (stool) especially for people who are already infected.

Can people distinguish a healthy eggs with eggs that have been infected with Salmonella bacteria?

"There is no way that can be done society to find out whether the eggs have been contaminated or not. Because Salmonella can infect any type of chicken and there is no scientific evidence that could indicate a bacteria-free eggs," said Professor Rob Gravani, a professor of food science from Cornell University, as quoted by LiveScience, Thursday (19/08/2010).

Eggs are exposed to salmonella cases must be proven through laboratory testing and can not diterawang with the naked eye.

Thus, according to Prof. Gravani if ​​there have been announcements that the egg is infected people should not eat them. Because the outside and inside infected eggs will appear normal. Another way is to consider how to cook and keep the right so that the bacteria can die.

Outbreaks of Salmonella infected eggs massively recently occurred in Atlanta USA. Local governments to attract about 380 million eggs from the market due to exposure to Salmonella outbreak.

Regulatory agency the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is currently carrying out an investigation to determine the cause of this outbreak of Salmonella in eggs. Investigations carried out in several places to eat are indeed present a menu of food with raw eggs, the eggs are not cooked until soft and unpasteurized eggs.

Although not able to distinguish between healthy and infected eggs, there are some specific actions that can be done to reduce the risk of Salmonella infection.

The trick, as quoted from CDC.gov is:

Do not eat eggs that are cracked or dirty (on egg shells contained chicken manure).
Washing hands, cooking utensils with soap and water after contact with raw eggs.
Eggs should be cooked until the white and yellow ripe (the temperature reached 71 degrees Celsius) and then do not put off taking them.
Do not keep eggs warm or at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
Store eggs in the refrigerator if you do not want to use.
Avoid eating raw eggs.
Try not to eat at the restaurant are made with raw eggs, undercooked or not pasteurized.
Always try to keep the eggs at a temperature of 45 degrees Fahrenheit (less than 7 degrees Celsius) at all times.


If someone Salmonella poisoning, usually will have symptoms of fever, abdominal cramps and diarrhea approximately 12-72 hours after eating foods that are consumed. The disease usually lasts 4-7 days.

Someone who has a weakened immune system, parents and infants are the group most vulnerable to illness due to Salmonella infection. In this group, the infection can spread from the intestines to the bloodstream and other body parts.

Why Create Nervous Stomach Pain?


Most people must have felt a stomach ache when you're nervous, panic or stress when it would appear in public or before an important interview. Why are these conditions can trigger stomach pain?

Most people who experience stress literally felt it in the gut. As described in the Harvard Mental Health Letter in August 2010, that there is a nervous system, known informally as the 'brain-gut axis' or the brain-gut axis suspected as the cause.

Basically the brain interacts with the rest of the body through the nervous system which has several major components. One of them is the enteric nervous system that helps regulate the digestive process.

Quoted from Health.harvard.edu, Saturday (21/08/2010) when the body is experiencing stress, nervousness or panic, then the process will slow digestion or stopped altogether. So the body can focus all their energy to face the threat of internal or psychological disorder such. Impaired digestion process is what causes the onset of abdominal pain.

Identify the cause of abdominal pain will be known by the name of nervous stomachs (nervous stomach). Nervous stomach is the source of a disturbance in the stomach which can be caused by stress or nervousness.

Someone who is feeling depressed either by stress, panic or nervous, then the brain will release more acid into the stomach. This is what affects a disturbance in the stomach such as stomach pain, stomach feels bloated, burping, stomach feels sore, suddenly felt like a large or small bowel, nausea and heartburn.

Nervous stomach can not be categorized as a specific disease. Because in general, doctors will use this term after the diagnostic examination could not reveal what happened and also after eliminating other possibilities.

This condition was also able to be experienced by children, such as children feel the pressure from peers or in terms of academics such as school exams.

Dr. Michael Miller as the editor of the Harvard Mental Health Letter explains that some psychological interventions can be done to mengurasi abdominal pain due to stress.

Cognitive behavioral therapy to change the stress and stimulate thinking, relaxation techniques aimed at calming the body and mind positif.bagai intestines and cause.

Women Workers and illness


Some jobs can sometimes pose a risk of certain diseases on a person. Disease and therefore know what jobs are interconnected.

Someone should have an excellent body condition in order to work properly and optimally. But she lived just a job can cause certain diseases that can be detrimental.

As quoted from GeniusBeauty, Saturday (21/08/2010) there are certain diseases associated with one's work, namely:

Secretary and Carpal tunnel syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome is usually characterized by numbness in the wrist, followed by pain due to pressure from the median nerve. This condition usually occurs because the secretary often typing and using a computer mouse. Because if someone uses a computer or typing continuously, the tendons in the wrist can injure the median nerve is responsible for the function of the finger.

To prevent that the workplace should be used must meet ergonomic standards a person, so as not to cause injury or certain health risks, and allow time for the fingers and hands to rest.

Teacher, broadcaster and sore throat
If someone talked continuously over long periods of time can make the vocals become stressed, this causes a huge strain on the vocal cords and make the back wall of the throat dries. This condition makes the throat more susceptible to infection and lead to illness or strep throat.

To prevent that try to reduce the time to speak, breathe through your nose, gargling in the throat and also consume enough water.

Varicose veins and shopkeepers
The shopkeepers in general stand for long periods and high heels. This will create a web of blood through blood vessels, causing blood vessels to swell. If the case is severe, surgery can be done to overcome these varices.

To prevent this you should perform physical activity, resting at home with a lying position while elevating the feet and also try not to use heeled shoes that are too high.

Miscarriage and the flight attendant
The change of time zone, the body's biological clock disturbances, vibration and air pressure fluctuations can cause developmental disorders of pregnancy is a flight attendant. This makes a flight attendant risk of miscarriage or babies born with a developmental disability.

To prevent these should not be working or resting at least during the pregnancy reaches the third and fourth weeks.

Treating Cocaine Addiction with Kudzu Extract


Various ways were developed to overcome drug addiction. And a recent study found that an extract of kudzu tree can treat cocaine addiction.

Researchers from Gilead Sciences Inc. found that an extract of kudzu trees that are being developed to treat alcohol addiction were also able to treat cocaine addiction.

Gilead continued experiments these drugs since last year, when the study was purchased from CV Therapeutics Inc..

According to the research that has been published in the journal Nature Medicine, suggests that this drug can stop the addiction to cocaine use.

"There is no effective treatment for cocaine addiction, although knowledge of the neurobiology of drug addiction is widespread," said Lina Yao, Ivan Diamond and colleagues, a team of researchers from Gilead, as reported by Reuters on Monday (8/23/2010) .

Kudzu is a drug that has long been used to treat alcoholism. The vine is native to Asia has spread across much of the southeastern United States, after being imported to overcome the soil erosion.

CV Therapeutics to extract synthetic called aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 selective inhibitors or ALDH2i. The study is named after the CVT-10 216.

Based on tests conducted, it was found that kudzu extract can stop the addiction to cocaine and may even prevent the onset of recurrence after the users free of cocaine.

Researchers discover how it works, namely by enhancing compound called tetrahydropapaveroline or THP. Addicted to cocaine will make the level of a brain chemical called dopamine increases and THP serves to disrupt the dopamine enhancement.

"We propose that the drug is safe, selective, reversible ALDH-2 inhibitors such as ALDH2i may have the potential to reduce human cocaine addiction and prevent relapse," wrote the researchers.

Why We Always Closed Eyes Sneezing?


Cause people sneezing all kinds, can be due to allergies, dust intruding or the flu. But almost certainly when sneezing all eyes closed and highly improbable sneeze with your eyes open. Why people can not sneeze with your eyes open?

In medical terms sneezing is 'sternutatory reflex' which is a reflex that makes one sneeze. Sneezing is an activity that is positive because it has a clear function of the pharynx (the cavity between the nose, mouth and throat).

Although it looks simple, sneezing is one of a very complicated body action. Technically, a sneeze is produced when the contact with irritants in the nasal mucosa to stimulate the trigeminal nerve. Later can stimulate the pons and medullai in the brain that in turn trigger additional nerve reactions.

During a sneeze, as quoted from Theregister.co.uk, Friday (08/27/2010) will place tremendous stress on the body, important enough air pressure lies in the eye.

The additional pressure is not going to make your eyes fall out or get out, but it will make your eyes feel uncomfortable. So that person will reflexively closes his eyes while sneezing as a form of protection.

Besides the encouragement when someone would sneeze affect various organs of the body including the abdomen, chest, neck and face.

When sneezing or stimulation impulse will run through the face of someone who also causes the eyelids to close or blink. The response is automatic or can not be controlled.

There were many myths circulating about sneezing and so this is just because of the myth behind the rumor, namely:

1. In ancient times many people believing that a person's soul is made of air and inside the head. Hence sneezing is considered as an activity that will drive a person's soul.

2. In medieval myth circulating that says that just a little sick can cause death, so people assume that the sound of a sneeze is something that is scary. And people trying to protect his nose from an illness or death.

3. Today some people believe that the heart would stop when a person sneezes, it is a myth. Presumably this myth developed because when sneezing chest expands, the pressure is released by the awakened and kemduian chest. This pressure change can cause changes in blood flow that cause changes in heart rhythm.

When someone sneezes, then the mucus or foreign objects in the mouth and nose will come out with a speed of 161 km per hour. Therefore the public should not have to suppress a sneeze, because there are certain dangers that can occur if the sneezing is held.

Sneeze, sneezing triggers in the Morning


Sneezing in the morning is often experienced by some people. This usually occurs during sleep or just waking up out of the shower. What triggers people always sneeze in the morning?

Sneezing in the morning can be a common occurrence experienced by people with allergies and occurs for a few minutes after he wakes up.

This condition is sometimes accompanied with a red nose and watery eyes. But rarely found sneezing continues until noon or all day.

As quoted from Digitalhealthlive, Wednesday (09/01/2010) there are various things or conditions that could trigger someone sneezing in the morning, namely:

Allergic reaction to an allergen, sneezing that can arise due to dust in the room in the house, grass and pollen, animal dander or dirty air are inhaled during waking.
As a form of physiological reactions are common, this is because during sleep a person's body temperature will naturally decrease.
Cilia (tiny hairs in the nostrils) slows the movement to remove dust trapped in the nose. Once awakened, the body tries to expel all the dust that collects in the nose so that a sneeze triggers a response.
The body is sensitive to cold air in the morning, especially in the rainy season or when someone has just finished a bath.


Therefore one must know beforehand what causes sneezing, sneezes in order to treat the condition. If the sneezing caused by allergies, allergens know what that act as a trigger.

Usually refers to the condition of allergic hypersensitivity of the immune system, this means that response came as a result of certain substances that are identified as pathogens or foreign substances by the body.

The main function of the immune system (immune system) is to protect the body against everything that allegedly could trigger a response from immune cells. Therefore when someone is having breakfast or breakfast, his immune system begins to rise and sneezing tends to disappear. It also became one of the causes why astu sneezing occurs only during the mornings only.

Before someone sneezes, allergen will make contact with the lining of the nose and trigger chemical reactions with the immune system. Chemical reactions in the nose area will cause a sense of 'itch', thus stimulating the nose so that a sneeze to remove the allergen.

Sometimes allergic reactions also produce mucus that will flow into the back of the throat. This mucus will eventually interfere with the back of the throat and stimulate the cough response. Because it's a sneeze in the morning can also be accompanied by a cough.

Is it true that the heart stops beating When Sneezing?


Sneezing is a natural response that occurs in the body. There is an assumption that when sneezing then the heart will stop beating. Really like that?

Some things are known to cause people to sneeze like an irritation of the nose due to dust, pepper, powder or pollen, viral infections like flu, inhaled corticosteroids with drugs and exposure to sunlight (known as the photic sneeze refelks).

But the news about heart stop when people sneeze is not true, the pressure in the chest when someone sneezes just change the pressure on the heart rate but did not make it stop, as quoted from Menshealth.about, Monday (09/12/2011).

Sneezing begins with a tickling sensation in the nerve endings that send messages to the brain to clean the lining of the nose. Before sneezing of people will draw a deep breath and chest muscles tighten.

The pressure in the lungs will increase and then close your eyes and there was a sneeze. The existence of these pressure changes create rhythm heartbeat to be changed so that some people consider his heart stopped during a sneeze.

When clean some parts of the body will be involved such as muscles in the face, throat, chest and abdomen. This makes it possible for men who are young to sneeze more powerful than the old man or woman because it has a smaller body frame.

Here are some other interesting facts about sneezing that is:


Sneezing is an automatic reflex that can not be stopped when it started to sneeze
People can not sneeze while sleeping because the nerves that are involved in reflex activity also rested
Approximately 18-35 percent of people experience when exposed to bright light sneeze suddenly
When sneezing, mucus or foreign objects in the mouth and nose will come out with a speed of 100 miles per hour and issued 100,000 germs into the air
Donna Griffiths from Worcestershire, England holds the longest sneezing attack during the 978 days between January 1981 until September 1983. At first he sneezed every minute ago he had sneezed every 5 minutes.

If not Got Tissues, Navigate to Sneeze Sleeve Shirt


Most people will use their hands to cover your nose and mouth when sneezing so that germs do not spread. It should be closed sneezes with a tissue or handkerchief, or if not available then it is better directed to the sleeve.

If it is closed by hand, some bacteria will not linger on the skin and immediately attached to flying particles when it started to dry sneeze. Not to mention if it is then hand holding something, then the bacteria will easily change places.

The safest way to limit the spread of germs is to cover a sneeze with a tissue, because the soft fibers is the best trap for germs no matter how small. Tissues that have been used to sneeze should be removed immediately, after that still have to wash your hands.

To teach how to use a tissue when sneezing, a school in New Zealand that is Bucklands Beach Intermediate and even provide a separate class for her students. Class called Sneeze Safe aims to reduce the risk of infection in the school environment.

"It's important for students to learn to keep clean, because it is not easy to control the common cold in school," said Grace Sharrem, one of the teachers who teach in the classroom Sneeze Safe as quoted from Times.co.nz, Sunday (08/05/2011).

Meanwhile in England, Professor John Oxford of London's Queen Mary Medical School also strongly recommend to cover a sneeze with his bare hands. If you do not have a tissue or handkerchief, he advocated for direct sneeze into the sleeve.

"New ethics when someone is coughing and sneezing is directed into the sleeve, not enough to just cover it with the palm of the hand. This could break the chain of transmission of germs," ​​said Prof Oxford, as quoted from Physorg.com.

To ensure the cover remains sterile sneezing, Prof Oxford also recommends that only disposable tissues instead of handkerchiefs that can be washed repeatedly. However, a handkerchief or sleeve is better than bare hands.

Despite using a tissue or sleeve, Prof Oxford also agreed that after sneezing should keep washing hands under running water. Perform for 40 seconds, or roughly the same as singing Happy Birthday as much as 2 times the tempo is.

Tradition Kiss Nose and Cheek Hand in Hand Washing Secure Origin


Some have warned the risk of transmission of respiratory viruses during the day sungkem Lebaran, especially when kissed hands with the nose. While it is more risky than sungkem on the cheek or forehead, this information is considered to frighten and even trigger stress.

Appeal to be careful when sungkem or kiss the hand sticking out in various media-related transmission of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) that attacks the respiratory. Suspected virus vulnerable carried by the travelers can be transmitted through droplets or sputum stains that go into the nose.

Given the nose is the gateway for germs or viruses that attack the respiratory, kissed the hand some people think it would be safe if done by not put the back of his hand to his nose. In its place is attached to the cheek or forehead.

Is it true that this way is more effective in preventing the transmission of the virus?

Health experts from the Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia, Dr. H. Ari Fahrial Sham, SpPD-KGEH, MMB, FINASIM, FACP confirmed that the virus in droplets that stick in the hand is more easily transmitted when attached to the nose. But he declined if kiss the hand should not be restricted in the nose.

"The fear of excessive make kissing the hand so it is not whole-heartedly. If you normally kiss the hand on the nose, and then suddenly have to change the psychological well actually not healthy, especially on the part of parents," said Dr. Ari Sham detikHealth when contacted on Tuesday (30 / 8 / 2011).

According to Dr. Ari Sham transmission of viruses and other germs will not just happen, because there are 3 factors that influence. Each of these is the germ itself, the condition of a person's immune system and also the environmental conditions at the time.

The risk of infection while widths are larger because the condition of decreased immune system, mainly because of fatigue after going home and hospitality. Environmental conditions also increase the risk due to meet more people and sometimes have to room with relatives who are not healthy.

But not to worry, these factors can be anticipated in several ways. The first way is to familiarize washing hands with soap, especially before the event so that the current relationship sungkem hands are always in pristine condition from germs.

The second way is to increase endurance, both with adequate rest and to set a balanced diet. Water and foods that contain lots of vitamins such as vegetables and fruits effective enough to increase body resistance so it is not easy to catch germs.

Related calls to always be careful when kissing his hand on the day of Eid, Dr. Ari Sham judge too much. He asked in an atmosphere of forgiveness like this, the information has not been proven true should not be used to scare.

"I have not heard an appeal regarding the risk of transmission of the virus (RSV) while kissing his hand. But if it existed, should have first isolated the virus to prove that there is indeed a threat.'s Not easy to isolate the virus know that," said Dr. Ari Sham which today has first to celebrate Eid al-Fitr.

Make Handwashing More Clear Mind


Washing hands is known to eliminate germs and bacteria that cause disease. But it turns out hand-washing can also help clear the brain that can think more clearly.

In one experiment, reported in Current Directions of Psychological Science is known that gamblers can bet that washing hands with a more thoughtful and often win.

"When someone is having a winning streak then you can be too confident," said Spike Lee of the University of Michigan, as quoted from Menshealth.com, Saturday (22/10/2011).

Lee explains when a person or body wash hands then he got the effect like feeling mentally refreshed so that it can provide a more accurate assessment in assessing something.

Besides washing can also affect feelings of success and happiness. This is because there is a study that showed people who receive good news and immediately wash their hands will lose the little sense of excitement than those not washed.

Generally, in most cases people will feel better after the cleansing of one's body parts everywhere, and washing hands is one that is easy to do the cleaning yourself.

Hands can transmit the disease caused by activities that are always in contact with many things throughout the day. But with diligent hand washing, various types of mild to deadly diseases caused by these germs can be prevented.

Note there are six critical points where people have to get used to wash hands are:
1. Before handling food
2. before meals
3. After Chapter (bowel movements)
4. Before taking care of babies and breastfeeding
5. After cleaning a child
6. After handling animals.
