Why purple garlic in use for therapyA new research team of scientists from the Department of Chemistry and Environmental Technology (Tequila), Faculty of Chemical Engineering at the University of Castillo-La Manchu (UCLM) has failed to show that purple garlic is a source of medicinal and therapeutic properties. Investigations not only reveal the health benefits that have purple garlic, but it also freeze-dried extracts were obtained (a process used to preserve food the astronauts) for medical or nutritional and pharmaceutical.

Ignacio Garcia, head and one of the key drivers of these studies, said that these investigations began in 2000 at the initiative of a natural student Pardoners (Cadence), where it is grown in abundance purple garlic, after putting in value of the antibiotic effects of illicit extracted from garlic

Initial investigations, which have been supported medical services Gastroenterological Unit of Hospital Ramón y Canal de Madrid, focused on analyzing the cause-effect relationship between garlic and helicobacter pylori, a bacterium responsible for gastritis, of stomach ulcer or cancer processes such as MALT lymphoma.

Grace explained that the research and study “exceeded initial expectations,” because after making the first tests it was found that the benefits of garlic purple “were higher than the drugs themselves that come against these diseases.”

After seeing the benefits of garlic, the research work has focused on carrying out a perfect freeze-drying process of garlic extract, a method that would allow the removal of water by vacuum drying and low temperatures, so that “prevents its degradation and ensures its retention period to four or five years. “

The group in Spain and in Europe has patented this method, according to Grace, so that others cannot copy the intellectual property of the product. Now, the research focused on analyzing other purple garlic’s therapeutic effects, such as fighting cholesterol, its role as a vasodilator and antithrombotic and anti-tumor effects.

How to maintain the health of mother and childWomen constitute 47 percent of the 40 million people in the world are internally displaced in their countries, or living as refugees in another country, and who also face a higher risk of physical or sexual violence, are those with reduced access to maternal health services.

According to the report “State of World Population 2010″, prepared by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the communities hosting migrants should provide maternal health care quality and affordability, as if they do not bring public and social costs in the long term.

This fact is ignored by the target nations, and women who are forced to migrate, or do it illegally, living a “heightened vulnerability, to unacceptable levels due to the lack of services, in particular maternal and child health, “says Dior Diane, director of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), quoted in the report of UNFPA.

The lack of access to maternal and child health leading to risk the lives of women and their children. We, the children who received no prenatal care are more susceptible to premature birth, and disorders of growth and development.

Moreover, if left untreated maternal health of women migrants “can perpetuate the poor health of migrant communities, which eventually overload the health systems of host countries,” says the UNFPA report.

Recent studies in European countries, the illegal immigrant status of women, as well as increase the risk of suffering physical and sexual violence, reduce their access to maternal and child care.

The picture gets worse because the fact those migrants are more likely to have an unwanted pregnancy than other women are because they may suffer sexual violence and because they lack access to family planning.

How Health and Health System in Spain in 2010Carmen Mache no work as part of the report on The State of Health and the Health System in Spain “, in which, on this occasion, it addresses the issue of occupational health.

Past few centuries that we know the relationship between work and health. Work on an important health determinant and is a major factor that inequalities in health.

The work is never neutral to the health can be harmful or privilege may be a promoter of it. Has, in fact, a positive potential on the well-being, not only for the monetary compensation but also involves its conceptualization as a social fact that contributes to the achievement of individuals and the progress of the community. The performance of work structuring can allow time to establish relationships with others develop a creative, social identity and ensure lasting personal and family security.

In addition, work activity associated with exposure during a substantial part of life very different risk factors, with immediate and delayed effects on health and welfare of the worker. Work accidents, musculoskeletal problems, allergies, premature aging and cancer are examples of changes whose causes can be found in working conditions.

Similarly, unemployment also damages the health of people; a large number of scientific researches have clearly shown how the health of the unemployed is worse than those in work. Unemployed people die earlier, get sick more, have more psychological problems, their lifestyles are most harmful and quality of life is worse. In addition, known to social vulnerability, have no unemployment insurance, health worsens.

Thus, according to the report Closing the Gap in a Generation: Health Equity Through Action on the Social Determinants of Health, prepared by the Commission on Social Determinants of Health of the WHO in 2005, “differences in health status and life expectancy between citizens of different countries and even within a country, are a consequence of the social environment they are born, live, grow, work and age.”

However, labor as a determinant of human health has not been in public health policies of our country, and this is a situation that does not correspond to a social model appropriate to the present time.

Cuba's government takes steps to restructure the public health sectorThe Cuban government began to take the first steps to restructure the public health sector as part of a plan of adjustment of the labor force layoffs involving more than half a million state workers until the first quarter of 2011.

First Vice President of the Councils of State and Ministers, Jose Ramon Machado Ventura, the new health minister, Roberto Morales Jedi, general secretary of the Central de Trabajadores de Cuba (CTC), Salvador Mesa, have held several meetings with workers and public health leaders from around the country to outline the process of adjustment that lies ahead in the sector.

The meetings began in early September in Havana, Santiago de Cuba, Guantanamo, Grandma, Hodgkin, Damage and Diego de Avila.

At Guantanamo, Machado Ventura acknowledged that public health would receive a big impact with layoffs, “so inflated their workforce and the number of people who must be relocated.”

A leaked document reveals that the first job cuts in the Ministry of Public Health (Ministry of Public Health) should end on 31 December this year, according to the official schedule. Only in Havana 193 people will lose their jobs.

The sector has 600 thousand workers and it is estimated that an excess of 22,000 workers in Cuban hospitals and clinics. 10 percent of the GDP of the island is dedicated to the public health budget, which some experts consider an untenable situation amidst a landscape of economic crisis and inevitable adjustments in social security.

A former senior official of Public Health, recently filed in Miami, found that layoffs were inevitable.

“Between 55 and 60 percent of the costs are paid wages. The templates are superinfladas years, because politics has always been not to bring anyone. Even doctors cannot provide services due to sickness or aging to remain on the payroll, paid on average. There have never been adjustments or cuts in the sector because it was considered a neoliberal policy, “said the former official, who requested anonymity.

Machado Ventura hinted that layoffs would affect some of the bureaucratic staff.

“It is not uncommon for three or four workers there is a boss, which, far from benefiting harms and hinders the dynamic needs sensitive management and continuing like this,” he said at the meeting in Havana. Havana devotes 20 percent of its budget to health.

The decision on redundancies falls largely on trade unions. Mesa admitted “the challenge of streamlining the templates, so that proceeds with the necessary transparency, without injustice, favoritism, abuse of authority and to preserve the most suitable.
