Study: Men Spain Reduced sperm count 2% every year

jakarta, the decrease in sperm quality issue has become an international problem. recent research shows that the concentration of sperm a man present much lower sperm concentration compared to his ancestors.have previously conducted research which showed that the number of french people have been having sperm decreased significantly for several decades. recent studies conducted in spain even suggest that sperm quality in men has declined up to spain's young 38 percent in a period of a decade.researchers from the department of preventative medicine and public health, university of murcia, have been monitoring the concentration of sperm from men aged between 215 18 to 23 years for a decade. the researchers calculated the concentration of sperm back on average has been reduced from 72 million sperm/ml in 2001 to 52 million/ml in 2011.of such research may note that the decline in sperm concentration occurred an average of two percent per year. sperm concentration is less than 40 million/ml note can decrease fertility and difficulty fertilise the egg."if the rate of decrease in the concentration of sperm are constantly going on and reduced to two percent per year, the young man's sperm could reach 40 million/ml level which could be harmful to her fertility," said professor jaime mendiola, one of the researchers.torres alberto cantero, the principal researcher in the study believe that the tendency is related to an increasingly unhealthy diet coupled with high levels of stress."precautionary measures involving some improvements in lifestyle, such as a healthy diet, can improve sperm quality," said professor cantero, as reported by naturalnews, tuesday (5/2/2013).the youth of today are more often exposed to electromagnetic radiation, was fond of wearing tight clothes and are also exposed to chemicals that can cause a decrease in sperm count. improvement of nutrition and lifestyle that are always active can help reverse the bad effects and improve fertility rates.(vit/vta )

Study: possible Severe Flu Hit Chinese 6 times larger

jakarta, several cases of a deadly flu outbreak could shake the world several years ago. after a further search, it turns out most such cases originated in china. researchers found it turns out most people china has 6 times greater chance of developing a severe flu.researchers from oxford university led by dr. tao dong trying to investigate why the citizens of china often experience a very severe flu. it turns out the variant gene called rs12252-c pembawanya have the possibility of making a 6 times greater than those suffered severe influenza that did not have the gene.researchers from the united kingdom and china combined found that genetic variants are found in nearly 70 percent of chinese patients who suffer from severe swine flu in 2009. in patients who experienced mild flu, only 25 percent who have this gene variation."understanding why some people are worse affected than other influenza is very important to improve our ability to manage swine flu and prevent deaths from the virus," said dr. tao dong, as reported by the counsel and heal, thursday (29/1/2013).study published the journal nature communications does not explain susceptibility to the flu, but explain why people in certain regions experience more severe flu. the researchers say that this occurs because the proteins that maintain the body functioning ifitm3 of infection does not work effectively because of changes in the dna.according to researchers, this research will help identify the high-risk populations and provide treatment to those groups more quickly. this is important to prevent growing wider outbreaks."it remains to be seen how these genes affect all cases of influenza in southeast asia, may also help explain why the new influenza virus often appear first in a particular area," said professor andrew mcmichael, one of the researchers from the university of oxford.(pah/vit )
