Experts say patients prescription error was originated from the doctor’s own mood was not good. Doctors who moodnya bad or stress tend to give the wrong prescription.

“Based on the survey we did, a lot of doctors who write prescriptions for moodnya was not good. With wear mood rings, the patient may be able to know the mood at the time the doctor or the doctor himself aware of his own mood and can anticipate that not wrong to write a prescription, “said Prof. Talma Kushnir, from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) Faculty of Health Sciences as reported by EurekAlert, Thursday (14/1/2010).

Professor Kushnir and colleagues conducted a study of 188 doctors and analyze his mood type when dealing with patients. The doctors who become participants were given a few questions and asked to rank (order) on some of the following criteria:

1. The amount of time talking to patients
2. Types of drugs prescribed
3. Laboratory tests
4. Diagnostic test
5. Send patients to specialists

The survey is known that when a doctor is a good or positive mood, he more chose to spend time talking with the patient and not rush to write prescriptions, tests, or send him to a specialist.

“Conversely, if his mood was bad, he tends to talk a bit and quickly create a prescription drug. This could lower the quality of patient care and increase medical costs in case of medical error,” said Prof Kushnir.

But with the mood ring detection, both patients and doctors can tell if a recipe is given the possibility of right or wrong and be more careful again write a prescription. How a mood ring is actually derived from the liquid crystals will react as the temperature increased or decreased.

Color ring surface is the interpretation of one’s mood.

Blue: calm, relaxed, comfortable
Green: normal (normal)
Yellow / Orange: excited, happy, happy
Brown / gray: tension, anxiety, stress
Black / dark blue: cold

“White Turmeric can help the healing process of cancer because they contain compounds derivatives (derivatives) and flavonoids kurkumin acting as antioxidants,” said Dr. Radji Maksum, MBiomed, Apt, Chairman of the Materials Research Society Nature detikHealth when contacted on Thursday (14/1/2010 ).

Maksum Dr. White explained the benefits of turmeric fight cancer cells is still limited to studies in vitro (laboratory) and have not reached clinical trials. But white turmeric is widely used as an alternative medicine for cancer.

In vitro studies conducted with bioaktivasi test. Cancer cells grown in the laboratory and after being given a certain concentration of white turmeric cancer cells to die. Also found also that the activity of white turmeric in a deadly cancer cells better than the god crowns of plants.

In the last year had made a study of cancer patients in one of the Cancer Hospital in Indonesia, approximately 30-40 percent of cancer patients given herbal remedies with white turmeric combined with medical treatment such as chemotherapy or other cancer treatment.

Having given this combination therapy, many patients who said that he felt there was improvement in his health condition. This phase included in the clinical testimony.

“In theory the time needed to conduct research on cancer drugs about 10-15 years. Of course the past couple of stages such as in vitro testing, preclinical testing, human testing to the healthy, the test to the patient and the last one tested to medical centers in some countries, “said UI professor of pharmacy is.

Greatest obstacles of research on this cancer is the high cost required to conduct research. In addition the calculation of the dose required (search formula) for humans is also not an easy thing.

Meanwhile, the American Institute of Cancer reported a white turmeric can be used to prevent cancer. Antioxidants are contained in a white turmeric may have a function to prevent the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from damage. Damage to this gene is one of the factors triggering the emergence of cancer. Iu addition, note also that the compounds contained in white turmeric can act as an anti-inflammatory drugs.

Several other studies have also mentioned the content of Ribosome in activating protein (RIP) in white turmeric. These compounds can inhibit the spread of suspected cancer cells and prevent cell damage. But a new study using cultured cancer cells in the laboratory and have not been tested to the patient or human.

The study of natural ingredients to cure cancer is clinically proven is the extract from pine trees (pine Taxus brevifolia) is paclitaxel.

“For cancer patients who want to consume natural or herbal remedies such as using white turmeric fine, either already in the form of powder or make themselves. But should remain under the supervision of a doctor about the dosage,” says microbiologist and professor of molecular biology.

Freedom to choose activities and togetherness with the people dearest to factors that affect a person’s health at the weekend period (weekend).

“Even workers with high status even feel healthier and happy weekend,” says Richard Ryan, professor of psychology at the University of Rochester as reported by ScienceDaily, Friday (15/1/2010).

Ryan said that free time is very important and influential on a person’s health. “The period of time to spare at the weekend should really be used because it is actually the basic human psychological needs are closely related to physical health,” said Ryan.

He and his colleagues have conducted a study of 74 people aged 18 to 62 years who worked at least 30 hours in a week.

During 3 weeks, participants are asked to fill out questionnaires describing the events, circumstances and feelings every day as happy, sad, anger, depression, stress and health problems such as digestive disorders, respiratory, and other headaches.

The results show, both men and women were more physically and mentally healthy at the weekend.

“They feel better without thinking about how much money is generated, how many hours spent working, what their profession or how their current berpendidikannya,” said Ryan.

Participants have the weekend claimed that psychological effect is strong enough for the moment, someone free to do unpopular things, and socialize.

“All the factors that can eliminate the stress arising from work,” Ryan said.

The conclusion of the study published in the Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology is to get used to fulfill the physical health needs of psychology.
