Despite the fact that the negative effects of smoking have become more popular it seems that smoking has also become more popular. Although in some areas smoking is not allowed, we can still easily see people smoking in other places. Smoking has become important part of our lifestyle. If we cannot quit smoking, there must be one or more ways to promote healthier lifestyles. Herbal smokes perhaps have not been popular yet, but they are gaining more popularity in that they are safer than regular smokes.

How many cigarettes do we smoke every day? Perhaps one cigarette is not enough. We may smoke two, three, four, five, or more cigarettes. How much money we usually spend to purchase cigarettes? Then, how dangerous is our smoking for us? How many negative effects can it bring to our health? We know that smoking can be important parts of our lifestyles. Yet we have to consider its negative effects. Should we quit smoking?

Happy family is everyone dreams. Do you happy with your couple? It is an important question because a happy family begins with happy couple. A happy couple can be seen from their sexual activity. But you must remember that not all sexual activity is ended in a happy situation because not all sexual activity ended in satisfaction for both party. It often happens that man is satisfied with the sexual activity, but not the woman. The woman often becomes the disappointed party. There are many factors that can cause this dissatisfaction. One of them is penis that too short or below standard size.

Research is one of the most important fields of medication. It provides many improvements on health care with new knowledge and technology for better diagnosis, cure, and anticipation of disease. Medical research often combines medicine with related fields of biology, it is called biomedical research. Research can be basic or applied. Basic cancer research, for example, may try to identify gene mutations that turn a healthy cell into evil.

At the same time as, this information does not have any clinical value. It breeds knowledge that often leads to better ideas for patients such as development of a better drug for breast cancer. The early stages of biomedical research usually take places in a laboratory. As scientists add more knowledge in some area, they begin studies on humans. These studies often take place in hospitals or clinics and they are called clinical research.

Clinical research usually is done by multidisciplinary teams. This group consists of men and women who have knowledge and skills in different areas, or disciplines, of science. A multidisciplinary biomedical research team may include biochemists, geneticists, physiologists, and physicians. Each team member approaches the problem from a different region and shares knowledge with the group. This multidisciplinary can increases the chances of solving a problem or it might develop new treatment. This kind of research is very useful.

Animals are used for the variety of scientific and medical purposes. Scientists use laboratory animals to examine biological processes in humans and animals. They use them to study the causes of diseases, to test drugs, vaccines, and surgical techniques. Also to evaluate the safety of chemicals used in pesticides, cosmetics, and other products. In many cases, scientific and biomedical research can be performed on laboratory consist of specific cells, or on simple life forms such as bacteria. Some research is better performed by studying the more complex responses of an animal.

The reason of using animals is that their function essentially like humans and tit makes them be the best models for experiments on fundamental processes such as breathing, eating and digesting food, and reproducing. Some animals also suffer the same diseases as humans do, with immune systems that respond likewise to disease-causing agents such as viruses and bacteria. Animals also bear a number of genes that are identical to human genes. By that similarity information, scientists have been able to learn much about the human body by studying animals.

In competent research, the neurobiologists make an experiment on rats and mice. They investigate their ways to fix nerve tissue and restore movement. Animals are also being used to seek cures for today’s most pressing diseases, including Acquired immune deficiency System Disease (AIDS).

During World War II (1939-1945), the majority money for medical research in the United States was donated by wealthy individuals, industry, and universities. Scientists refused to accept government funding because they feared of losing the intellectual freedom that they have to study what they don’t want to. However, since the 1940s the Federal Government has already taken a major role in endowing biomedical research.

By the 2001, the NIH (National Institute of Health) designed to spend around $20.3 billion on biomedical research, which is distributed to scientists in colleges and universities to conduct some specific research projects. The development also touched the pharmaceutical industries which dare to spend about $26 billion on research. The next largest source of funds is donated by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), which spends about $554 million annually. Other major funding sources are private foundations and voluntary health organizations.

Among those energetic in biomedical research be real the Charles A. Dana Foundation, the Lucille P. Markey Foundation, and the Whittaker Foundation. While the major voluntary health organizations are the American Cancer Society, the American Heart Association, and the American Diabetes Association.

Cancer is one of the deadly diseases in the human life. Cancer develops in almost any organ or tissue of the body, but certain types of cancer are more life-threatening than others. There are many type of cancer such as prostate cancer, lung cancer, uterine cancer, colorectal cancer, kidney cancer, leukemia, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, and many more. The breast cancer is more common in wealthy countries, while cervical cancer is more common in poor countries. Breast cancer is the most common cancer found in women, other than skin cancer.

However medical research found something interesting. Researchers found that the adrenal glands sometimes compensated for the loss of testes or ovaries and produced more hormones that continued to feed the cancer cells. To treat these patients, adrenalectomy —removal of the adrenal glands—and cortisone-replacement therapy are needed. Scientist developed a simple blood test to monitor the spread of cancer cells within the body. His research opened a new chapter in cancer treatment. Hormonal therapy for certain types of cancer, such as prostate cancer, is effective and produces less unpleasant side effects for patients than does chemotherapy or radiation treatment. There is also another way that is by using drugs called trastuzumab, marketed under the brand name Herceptin. From those facts we can see how fast the medical researches give benefit to the disease and patient.

It has long been recognized that every individual is a product of genetic influences and the impact of the environment in which he or she was raised. In the 19th century, it was suggested that the study of twins might point out resolution of this question. Since identical twins which produced from the same egg have identical genetic patterns and the heredity factor could be considered as constant.

In the late 1970’s, the behavioral study of twins established a new impetus. They discover several especially striking pairs of identical twins—children separated by family at birth and rose in totally different environments. One of the most dramatic cases was Jack Yufe and Oscar Stohr. They are separated by their parent divorce in 1932, while they were still infants. Yufe was raised in Trinidad as a Jewish, studied Hebrew, and lived in Israel for five years. While Stohr was raised as a Roman Catholic in Czechoslovakia, underwent a Nazi-dominated education during the German occupation, and was strongly anti-Semitic. It appears that their personalities differ sharply. Yufe is a relatively supple individual, generally liberal in his political and social attitudes. While Stohr is fairly firm. There are, however, surprising and bizarre parallels, i.e. both of them like and dislike almost the same foods; both are weak in mathematics; both selected the same shade of green as their favorite color.

Human Papilomma Virus (HPV) is a kind of illness which commonly sexually transmitted to the genital area. In the United States alone, it is estimated that more than 6,000,000 people are infected with this illness each year. The amount or people who are infected are increased and threatening many other through sexual intercourse.

Regarding the increasing amount of people transmitted with Human Papilomma Virus (HPV) which account for 70% of cervical cancer in US, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the DNA test on this Cervical Cancer Virus. The test identifies the two Human Papilomma Virus (HPV) types 16 and 18 in cervix cells. The test it self called Cervista HPV 16/18 and will be helpful for health care professionals to fin a better way identifying woman who has higher risk of developing cervical; cancer.

Hopefully, with the approval from FDA in this test, the healthcare professional can handle the signs of pervical cancer on women and prevent t from getting worse or heal it as soon as possible. The second DNA test which will detect all of the high risk HPV strains is called Cevista HPV HR test. Those two tests will bring new hope for American people to find the way out of the cervical cancer menace.

The research which have been conducted by Henry Ford Healthy System researchers on a group of smokers and their smoking behavior who live with a pet has shown and interesting result. One of three smokers says that they will quit smoking if the reason is because their bad habit will bring negative effect n their pet’s health.

The research it self was conducted to smokers who live with dog, cat, or pet. They were informed first about the bad effect of smoking and how it is not only limited to human being, but also their pets. The bad effect of exposure to second hand smoke can bring out cancer, eye and skin disease, allergies, and of course, respiratory problems in dogs and cats.

About 28.4 percent of smokers said that the information on how smoke can deliver such bad effect on their pet has made them get stronger motivation to quit smoking. 8.7 percent of smokers said that the information has motivated them to ask their partner to quit smoking, while 14 percent said that they will ask the smokers to smoke outdoor. This interesting fact has shown us how people have a good concern in their pet and how their pet can be a good motivation to stop their bad habit.
