Dental abnormalities are responsible for 4.5% of the total health care costs. Compared with other diseases and disorders of dental defects is relatively much money spent. This is mainly because a large proportion of the population uses dental care. Of the total health care costs that are paid to dental abnormalities, will account for 45% of men and 55% on behalf of women. The Health Insurance Act stipulates that young people under 18 years can claim the full range of dental operations. As of January 1, 2008 this increased to age 21 years.

Over 85% of the population visits a dentist annually

Over 85% of the population with a (partial) natural teeth begin in 2006 at least once a year to the dentist. The majority (61%) comes for a periodic review. In his youth the treatment is preventive in nature, eg the execution of fluoride applications and sealants.

To make a diagnosis of liver cancer, the doctor suggests a medical history, physical examination done carefully and orders some tests.

• Blood tests are used to see how well the liver. They can also be used to verify the existence of tumor markers, which are substances that are frequently found in abnormal amounts in patients with liver cancer. The tumor marker alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) may be useful to aid in the diagnosis of liver cancer. About 50 to 70 percent of people with primary liver cancer have elevated levels of AFP. However, other cancers such as germ cell cancer and in some cases, cancer of the stomach and pancreas also cause elevated AFP levels.
• Radiographs of the chest and abdomen, angiograms (x-rays of blood vessels), the CT scans (x-rays put together by computer) and magnetic resonance images (images created by using a magnetic field) can all be part of the diagnostic process.
• The liver scans using radioactive materials can help identify abnormal areas in the liver.
• The presence of liver cancer is confirmed with a biopsy. Is removed (through a needle or during surgery) from liver tissue (biopsy sample) and examined under a microscope to see whether cancer cells are present. The doctor may also look at the liver with an instrument called a laparoscope, which is a small instrument shaped tube with a light at one end. For this procedure, make a small incision in the abdomen to insert the laparoscope. The doctor may remove a small piece of tissue during laparoscopy. A pathologist then examines the tissue under a microscope to see whether cancer cells are present.

Primary liver cancer is difficult to detect at an early stage because its early symptoms are usually vague. As with other types of cancer, this disease can cause a general feeling of poor health. Liver cancer can lead to loss of appetite, weight loss, fever, fatigue and weakness.
As the cancer grows, pain may be present in the upper abdomen on the right side and may extend to the back and shoulder. Some people may feel a mass in the upper abdomen. Liver cancer can also lead to abdominal swelling and a feeling of fullness or bloating. Some people have episodes of fever and nausea or develop jaundice, a condition in which the skin and whites of the eyes become yellow and the urine becomes dark.
It is important to note that these symptoms may be caused by primary or metastatic cancer in the liver, a benign (not cancerous) in the liver or other less serious conditions. Only a doctor can tell for sure.

The liver, the organ of the human body larger without the skin, is located below the ribs on right side of the abdomen.

Its main functions include the filtration of blood and the elimination of toxic wastes and the production of enzymes that help digest food, converting them into substances needed for the proper functioning of the body. Some nutrients have to be chemically altered (metabolized) in the liver before the rest of the body can use as energy source. The liver produces some of the clotting factors that prevent the blood is too liquid and also secretes bile to the intestine to help absorb nutrients.

The liver is divided into three lobes, the right, the left and a smaller one called square, which in turn are subdivided into segments. Unlike most other organs of the body receives blood from two sources. The hepatic artery supplies the liver with blood rich in oxygen while the portal vein carries nutrient-rich blood from the intestines. All blood from the digestive tract through the liver before it reaches the rest of the body, making it a sort of ‘office’ from the outside world.

The exact cause of cancer remains unknown. Is  called a primary brain tumor,  brain cancer that starts in the brain it self. It can spread to surrounding areas of the brain and destroy them. Breast cancer, lung, skin, or blood cells (leukemia or lymphoma) can also spread (metastasize) to the brain, causing metastatic brain cancer. These groups of cancerous cells may then multiply in a single region or in different parts of the brain.
Symptoms and Complications

Brain cancer causes symptoms when it pushes on the brain that destroys brain tissue. Symptoms depend on the size and location of the tumor, and the speed at which it multiplies. Although headaches are often a symptom of brain cancer, it is important to remember that most headaches are not caused by cancer but are caused by less serious conditions such as migraine or tension. Headaches caused by brain tumors are often severe, associated with nausea and vomiting and often worse early in the day. They can last long or occur intermittently.

Other symptoms include:

• Dizziness
• Impaired vision as double vision
• Impaired coordination
• Weakness or numbness on one side of body
• Seizures
• Changes in mood, senses, personality or feelings
• Impaired memory
• A state of confusion or difficulty concentrating

The presence of the above symptoms may lead a physician to suspect brain cancer. A CT scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are the first examinations to be performed to properly diagnose a brain cancer, whatever the type. These specialized radiological examinations can detect many types of brain tumors and determine their location and size accurately. However, they do not determine whether the tumor is cancerous or not.

We must perform a biopsy to determine if the tumor is cancerous. For this, we take a sample of the tumor during surgery. If the tumor is too deep in the brain, surgeons can use a technique called stereotactic biopsy or establishment of the needle through three-dimensional approach. This technique uses an MRI to create a three dimensional image of the brain that are then used to guide a needle contained in a special case to the appropriate region of the brain. It sucks and is collected tumor cells in the needle for analysis. Once collected, we analyze the biopsy sample using microscopes and special chemicals to determine the type of tumor. It usually takes several days before obtaining the results of a biopsy.

We may sometimes collect cells of brain tumors in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), a special fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. CSF samples are taken using a thin needle that is inserted in the lower back under local anesthesia, this procedure is called a lumbar puncture. We can do this procedure when too much pressure accumulates in the brain. Indeed, the pressure change resulting from the brain drain may cause aspiration of part of the brain tissue at the base of the skull, causing serious complications.

Why menstrual problems can be solved by hypnosis ? Is not the subject of menstruation is a medical problem? – Yes indeed, the hypnotherapist is generally not a lot to learn about the female reproductive process. But it is also true that with hypnosis, menstrual problems can be eliminated or alleviated. Research also know this is mostly done.

Why does hypnosis work? – This explanation may be satisfying to you. Hypnosis is a technique of direct communication with the subconscious mind. Meanwhile, the subconscious mind is part of our minds that govern all biological processes that we do not realize, such as heart rate, digestion, metabolism, hormone production, menstrual cycles and so forth.

Meanwhile, about menstrual pain, it’s not a secret anymore. Since thousands of years ago, such methods have been used hypnosis to relieve pain in patients. Until now, there are hundreds (or perhaps thousands) of physicians around the world who practice hypnosis for anesthesia pain-killers.

Some menstrual problems sometimes caused or aggravated by the stress experienced by a person. By eliminating stress it, then vanished menstrual problems by it self.
