Small Is The Color Blind?
By the time your child gives color “should not be” on the picture or in coloring books, you should not upset because that’s what kids should do as the instructions to his creativity or your child to freedom of expression. But it also needs to watch out because he might be color blind.
The facts show that 10 million people in America have a problem with color vision. 1 of 12 men in the United States was experiencing it while it was affecting 1% of women in Uncle Sam’s country. Most of the causes of color blindness is a genetic mutation or other reasons such as aging, glaucoma, cataracts or effects of certain medications.
Color blindness affects one in 25 children with 3 main types:
1. Red-green blind: this is the most common type. Difficult to distinguish between red-green color.
2. Yellow-blue blind: difficult to distinguish between blue yellow coloring.
3. Do not see colors: This condition is very rare and usually only see black, white and gray.
So what is the cause of color blindness? In the retina there are millions of cones that allow us to see light and color. There are three types of cones that will about them to light of different colors, red, blue or green. If there is damage to one type of cone is that will cause a mild color blindness. If there is one type of cone is missing, then the color-blindness would be more severe.
There are several ways to tell if your child color blind. Because a child who has color blindness will do the following things:
* Seeing the color, especially the primary colors, with the name of the wrong color.
* Create an image that does not fit like a black tree trunk or brown grass.
* The color pink or light green and white will tend to be called.
* Seeing red or green color is almost similar.
If you see signs like this, you should consult your pediatrician. Blind test of the most common color is Ishihara. Children will be shown a set of discs each with numbers or symbols hidden in the circle of dots. These symbols will be easily seen by normal vision, but not by those who seem color blind. By using this test, the doctor will know what kind of color blindness suffered by your child.
This condition will indeed affect your children. He may be a little frustrated, but will be able to adjust. It’s just that your child will find the problems as follows:
* Choosing a color crayon or marker
* Choosing a dress with matching color
* Reading a map or a color chart
* Not knowing when the meat has been cooked
* Lack of understanding signs traffic
* Must be a career that uses normal vision
You do not need to worry too much with this condition, because of course you can help your child in a color blind problem. Be sure to teach your child that color blindness is not an obstacle, but it is a unique trait. You can also separately adjust help themselves by:
* Accept your child color the call.
* Describing an object without mentioning the color.
* Propose a selection clothes that are not in accordance withcaution.
* Expressing your child’s condition to the teacher.
* Talk with your child about his future that some jobs require a vision of a good color.
Until now I have found no drug that can cure color blind. But recently researchers at the University of Washington to do gene therapy for color blindness 2 monkeys in order to restore their vision of the color. This study gives hope that one day the drug from color blindness or other vision abnormalities can be found.

One is Alzheimer’s Disease On Brain
Alzheimer’s or called az-Zhai-me, a sort of disease decreased brain function is complex and progressive. Alzheimer’s disease rather than a kind of contagious disease.
Alzheimer’s disease is a condition in which the power of memory decline with someone so badly infected can not fend for themselves. Alzheimer’s disease rather than ‘childish old age’ is simply a process of aging. On the other hand, is a kind of health problem that is very painful and needs to be given attention.
Alzheimer classified into one of a kind nyanyuk (dementia) is characterized by a downturn in the conversation, Sanity, memory, considerations, changes in personality and behavior that are not controlled. This situation is very burdensome not only to the infected, even family members who care. Alzheimer’s disease that decreases the memory function is also explained intellectual and social functions of his penghidap. Usually, family members only come with people who are sick to see a doctor if they have not put up with symptoms of a sick person.
Until now, the real source of this disease is not known. However, he was not due to aging. However, scientists believe, he was associated with the formation and changes in nerve cells that normally become fibers.
Risk for Alzheimer’s, a disease that is synonymous with old people, increases with age. “Starting at age 65 years, someone has a risk of five per cent of this disease and this risk has doubled every five years,” said the expert Psikogeriatrik, Office of Medical Psychology, Faculty of University Malaya Medical Center (PPUM), Dr. Esther Ebeenezer.
Level of Alzheimer’s
Forgot put the car keys, took the tray of money, do not know to buy goods to the store, forget the phone number or dos drug is commonly eaten among some mild symptoms.
If the sick person forgot the sugar in the drink mix, salt in cooking or mixing means water is categorized as a simple level.
If the sick person is not able to do things like deal with the principles themselves, wrong with the situation around the house, does not recognize associates or immediate family members, he indicated that sick people are in a serious level.
Other signs
People affected by this disease can be aggressive, quick to anger and lose interest or hobby to interact ever interested. It is estimated that in about 1950 of approximately 2.5 million of the world population suffering from this disease. In 2000, people with Alzheimer’s disease is estimated to reach six billion people.
World Health Organization (WHO), estimates that more than one billion people over the age older than 60 years or 10 percent of the population suffering from Alzheimer’s (2003). This increase, there is more to do with the world’s population aging, increases a woman’s lifetime until the age of 80 years and 75 years for men. In addition, maintenance of better health, declining marriage rates, increased divorce and those who marry but not many children.
The sick who are in a simple and severe stages will show a strange behavior. Among other things, like the scream, gasp and follow wherever nurses to the toilet though.
In addition, people who are sick also hear the sound or whisper soft and seeing frightening images. All of this is indirectly given to the nurse mental distress because they had to take care of the sick ’36 hours’ day.
People who are sick are also sometimes would walk over here without a cause, and their sleep patterns are also changing. People who are sick for more sleep during the day and awake at night.
In general, a sick man who was diagnosed with this disease have died from pneumonia or pneumonia. This is because, at that time a sick person can not perform any other activities.
The sad thing is that sick people do not understand what was happening to them and need help from others. The bad news is Alzheimer’s disease, can not be cured. However, the symptoms can still be controlled with medication.
The drugs were given at an early stage, can help patients such as cognitive memory, daily activities and behavior.
