Anti-Acne Vaccine will Coming Soon

Acne is a common problem among teenagers and young adults, who can make people insecure and sometimes become stressful. But do not worry, soon there will be no vaccine acne.
Now scientists are making breakthroughs in the hunt for treatments for acne. A promising vaccine that can stop a major cause of acne at least be able to be marketed generally 5 years.
Breakthrough vaccine approach against the backdrop of acne treatments available today, most of which rely on antibiotics to 'bomb' the bacteria that causes spots on the face.
The drugs can disrupt the natural balance of skin and leave some risk of scarring. Scientists at the University of California at San Diego and then work with the world's largest vaccine company Sanofi Pasteur to be able to make vaccines acne.
According to scientists, rather than focusing on how to eliminate the main causes of acne bacteria, a vaccine which will be named P-acnes aims to neutralize the protein, the source of the problem which is produced by bacteria and is the key to the formation of acne.
Acne happens when sebaceous glands produce sebum (oil or natural skin moisturizer) so much that clog pores. Protein will then begin to kill the skin cells, causing the body trying to fight back by causing inflammation and skin area was flooded with white blood cells. The result, there arises a painful acne.
Scientists have done tests on the ear skin of mice, producing antibodies in protein and 'off'. Rats that had been given doses of bacteria and then treated with an antibody that makes inflammation less. The study also found that the immune system of experimental animals can be stimulated to produce its own antibodies.
"This vaccine may be available within 5 to 10 years," explains Dr. Harald Gollnick, of the Global Alliance to Improve Outcomes in Acne, University of California, as reported by Dailymail, Saturday (11/12/2011).
More than 80 percent of teenagers suffer from acne dams global market for acne medication is estimated at 1.87 billion pounds (about Rp 26.7 trillion) per year.
"Acne affects so many teenagers at a very difficult stage in life. The vaccine, potentially targeting inflammation may prove very helpful," said Dr. Susannah Baron, consultant dermatologist from BMI Hospital in Canterbury.

Low Body Fitness Can Kill

Why is exercise important? That's because exercise can make the body fit. With the body fit so it is not easy to hurt people, otherwise low fitness can kill people because people are so easy to get sick.

Chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke, has been a scourge on society. Fitness and exercise is the best medicine to prevent and manage chronic diseases, which became the leading cause of death worldwide.

"Obesity is a symptom of the disease based on sedentary lifestyle. Fitness is low that kills you, not overweight," said Dr. Robert Newton, professor at Edith Cowan University's School of Exercise, Biomedical and Health Sciences, as reported by timeofindia, Saturday (11/11/2011).

Newton said the 'battle' against obesity is not currently effective in controlling the increase in chronic diseases and associated costs to manage and cure these diseases.

"Exercise is the most effective drug for the prevention and management of chronic diseases, problems that are responsible for about 80 percent of our health spending," said Dr. Newton.

According to him, the risk of death of a person with normal weight but unfit is about 3 times higher mortality risk than someone who is overweight but fit.

Large-scale study showed that prescribing exercise can provide the same medical results such as the prescribing of pharmaceutical drugs in the treatment of diseases, including the treatment of type-2 diabetes and breast cancer.

"The campaign to prescribe exercise can produce the same increase in survival rates of breast cancer patients as a leading chemotherapy, without the nasty side effects," lid Dr. Newt
