Stop the World Organization of Tobacco
World
Health Organization (WHO) selects "Tobacco industry intervention" as a
major theme on the No Tobacco Day which falls every year on May 31, 2012
with the headline "Stop Tobacco Industry Interference".
As reported by the WHO in its official website on Thursday (5/31/2012), which conducted the campaign this year will focus on efforts against tobacco industry interference that do not matter and the more aggressive the agreement, called the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control ( WHO FCTC).WHO FCTC protocol goal is to control trade in cigarettes in order not to interfere with public health. Protocols that protect health policy from tobacco industry influence, setting prices and cigarette excise tax to reduce demand, protect citizens from secondhand smoke contamination in indoor areas and public transport, packaging and labeling of cigarettes, as well as the implementation of bans on advertising, promotion, and sponsorship of cigarettes.
WHO-FCTC has been signed by 172 countries and cover 90 percent of the world. But until recently, Indonesia and Zimbabwe is a country that has not ratified the FCTC. Therefore, Indonesia has not followed the international standards in tobacco control.
There are at least four indicators as well as tobacco control strategy, which is the first stop advertising, promotion, and sponsorship of tobacco industry. Second, the ban on smoking in public areas. Third, health warnings on cigarette packs, and the fourth, an increase in cigarette prices that are not easily purchased.Tobacco addiction and disease have caused considerable loss of life. Currently, each year an estimated 6 million people worldwide died from tobacco and more than 600,000 of whom were nonsmokers. If not controlled, cigarettes will kill 8 million people in 2030, where about 80 percent are smokers who live in poor countries.
As more and more countries are trying to comply with the obligations contained in the FCTC agreement, the tobacco industry was exerting all his strength to stop him. For example, as a way to stop the policy of pictorial warnings on cigarette packs, they sued the state by reason of violation of a bilateral investment treaty. The tobacco industry claims pictorial warnings on cigarette packs will reduce the appearance of their brands is legal.
On the other hand, the tobacco industry also continues to fight on other fields, especially with regard to a policy banning smoking in public spaces as well as regulation of advertising restrictions.No Tobacco Day 2012 focused on educating the decision makers and the general public about tobacco industry tactics in fighting the tobacco industry restrictions on movement. WHO will also continue to remind countries to fight the tobacco industry interference in tobacco control efforts.

Madeline, the mother underwent fertility treatment, is one of the three twins, which can survive. Ruamisa Just like her mother, Madeline's mother also suffered severe preeclampsia or pregnancy poisoning. Madeline was on a ventilator for 65 days. He had heart failure and retinopathy.
Although the use of glasses, but he was able to drive a car and in general good health condition. Weighing in at 29.5 pounds and less than 1.5 meters high it is still quite small. But now he became a student majoring in psychology.
Both of these girls are living proof that babies who had been considered impossible for it to survive and live relatively normal lives.
"We're always worried about the health of small babies in the future. Because of the stressful environment in the womb at the age of their vulnerable adult diabetes and heart disease," said Dr.Jonathan Muraskas, neonatal and perinatal experts are also one of the doctors who Madeline and Rumaisa menanangi.
He added durability babies are born very little is actually dependent on gestational age rather than weight.
"The age of pregnancy is very important than weight at birth. Madeline and Rumaisa was born at the gestational age is relatively old, ie, in week 25 and 26, when compared with other premature babies. Added week could have a major impact," he said.
According Muraskas, babies born at 23 weeks of age, life expectancy is only 20 percent, in infants who survive suffer the risk of disability to 90 percent.
"At age 27 weeks, the baby weight about 0.9 kilograms. The risk for developmental disorders such as risk of blindness, cerebal palsy or hearing loss was reduced to 10 percent," he explained.
Additionally baby girls are usually more able to survive. "If Madeline and Rumaisa were men might be another story," he added.

According Dr.Eric Eichenwald, pediatrician from the University of Texas Health Service, also have a major technical problem.
"Imagine we place an intravenous catheter into a very small, they are at high risk of infection and injury," he said.
Another problem is the issue of ethics. Both in terms of resusistasi (giving artificial breathing) or choose one of two twins who will intervene.
"For every baby weighing very small, its success rate is only 1 in 10. People should realize that the life expectancy of infants weighing less than 0.5 kilograms of very small," said Muraskas. "Patients like Rumaisa and Madeline is a miracle," he concluded.

The women who followed the Mediterranean-style diet tend to have better levels of fertility. This means they eat more vegetables, fruits, fish, and Cereal intact.
In the health world, the Mediterranean diet is highly recommended because it proved to keep the disease. Call it the disease of diabetes, heart disease, or obesity.
A recent study conducted by researchers from Spain found a link between this diet with levels of fertility. The study was conducted on 500 women who have difficulty conceiving and more than 1,600 women with the same age but already has at least one child.
Based on a list of questions asked, the researchers measured how closely the diet of the respondents with a Western-style food or Mediterranean.
Western diets are generally full of meat, fast food, dairy products, potatoes, Cereal incomplete and food and beverages that contain sugar.
In women who have a Mediterranean diet, only 17 percent reported trouble getting pregnant. Meanwhile, women whose diets rather close to the Mediterranean diet, there are 26 percent who face fertility problems.
Mediterranean diet, according to Dr.Estefania Toledo, researchers who conducted this research, provide a protective effect against resistensiinsulin and type 2 diabetes.
"Insulin resistance means the body's cells can not absorb sugar from the blood circulation. We also found a link between these conditions with ovulation," he said.
He explains, insulin has other functions in the body. "Insulin also regulates the amount of hormones, including exactly how many hormones that are necessary for the release of eggs," he said.
Mediterranean diet according to him contains nutrients that help the body cleanse sugar from the blood circulation so the body does not require a lot of insulin to do so. "It makes the body more easily maintain the balance of reproductive hormones," he said.
For women who are still in the productive age and planning to become pregnant, there is no harm in adopting this diet. But women who did have problems with their reproductive organs, there are no data that says this diet could increase the chances of pregnancy.
