The dangers Of playing games


CASE 1 Xbox Hypertrophy
The inconsistent geometry of hands affected by the psychopathology of gaming. Onset of symptoms generally occurs in adolescence or early adulthood. Swollen extremities, the visible manifestation of an abnormal increase in the volume of tissue due to the enlargement of its component cells. Movements divorced from affect and physiology alike. Muscle strains caused by forceful movements. A new body configuration produced by repetitive strain injury. Xbox Hypertrophy is a destructive form of arthritis which destroys the small joints in the hands and can lead to permanent disability and loss of hand function. Often confused with Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), a condition in which the affected person is excessively concerned about and preoccupied by a perceived defect in his or her physical features, Xbox Hypertrophy is a certified pathology that causes both physical and psychological distress that impairs occupational and/or social functioning, sometimes to the point of severe depression and anxiety, development of other anxiety disorders, social withdrawal or complete social isolation. It is estimated that 3–5% of the world’s population meet all the diagnostic criteria for Xbox Hypertrophy. Widespread in the United States and in the United Kingdom, this pathology is rarer in Japan.

CASE 2 3D Optical Disorder
An unnatural twitch of the eye, one of the symptoms of a severely burned retina. An entire generation of users, raised on 3D games, is now permanently blind, as it was recently discovered that three-dimensional display technology has corrosive effects on the eye. Extreme photosensitivity precedes permanent loss of sight. Symptoms include sudden permanent blindness, but may occur more slowly over several days, weeks or months, dilated pupils, and loss of the pupillary light reflex. Other symptoms commonly seen include increased water consumption and urination, weight gain, confusion, restlessness, behavioral changes and lethargy. These symptoms may develop over a few months preceding the onset of 3DOD. Endocrine often shows elevations in adrenal sex hormones. Examination with an ophthalmoscope will initially show no changes, but in a few months atrophy of the retina will resemble the appearance of progressive retinal atrophy. Pathologically, there is a loss of the rod and cone cells followed by degeneration of other layers of the retina. The retinal degeneration appears to be related to apoptosis of these cells. Unfortunately, forced deprivation to three-dimensional images has not led to an increase in sight or general health.

CASE 3 Playstation Thumb
Early research conducted in the 1990s indicates that a significant amount of female subjects affected by the PlayStation Thumb are having more pleasurable orgasms. The deformed finger is used by some as an organic dildo. The peculiar shape of the finger makes it apparently easier to reach the g-spot. The repeated movements – hysterical, frenzied fidgeting – is particularly common after consumption of alcohol beverages, which may suggest a correlation.

CASE 4 WiiMote Shoulder DislocationWoman deliberately exposing her wound reveal her mounting sense of disembodiment as if her limbs and musculature merely establish the residential context of the body. The terminal zone of interaction signals the body’s failure, its inability to cope and upgrade, keep up with demanding physical requirements.

CASE 5 WASD Syndrome
Albeit not irreversible, the condition is critical as the tendons in the fingers are visibly damaged and their functioning severely impaired. The impossibility of bending several fingertips can cause acute pain in the subject. Such condition is the result of a prolonged, repetitive fingers’ pressure on four specific keys, W-A-S-D, hence WASD Syndrome.

CASE 6 FPS Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
FIRST-PERSON SHOOTER CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME (FPS CTS)

A pathophysiology that affects millions of gamers that engage in first-person shooting activities, FPS CTS is caused mainly by repetitive motions, most famously from long hours of computer keyboard use. It results in a compression of the carpal tunnel, permanent nerve damage, and weakness of palmar abduction. Patients with CTS experience burning sensations in the thumb and fingers, particularly the index, middle fingers, and radial half of the ring fingers which are innervated by the median nerve. Also reported is sharp pain in the arm and shoulder. If not treated on time, this condition can degenerate quickly. Tumors such as a ganglion or a lipoma protrude into the carpal tunnel, leading to numbness and atrophy in the wrist. Due to the severity of this condition, amputation is currently the only effective therapy.

CASE 7 Nintendo Arthritis
First discovered in the early 1990s, this condition is currently incurable. Unsavory physical routines lead to crippled joints and cancerous calluses. In some cases, clavi formed by the accumulation of dead skin, will appear on the dorsal surface of fingers but also on the palmar surface. Such formations cannot be surgically removed as they become intertwined with key nerves.

CASE 8 Atari Skinning
Abnormalities on palms and fingers. Calluses. Protuberances. Bleeding fingers. Nail diseases spotted, including an iterative form of onychia, a severe inflammation of the nail folds with formation of pus and shedding of the nail, resulting from the introduction of microscopic pathogens through small wounds. Infections caused by bacteria living in the interstitials spaces of game controllers.

Pregnant and Smoking

As we know, one of the very adverse consequences of smoking is a disorder of pregnancy and the failure of the fetus. Consequences of smoking for pregnant women has been distributed by the government, including the tobacco products concerned. This sometimes does not affect the pregnant woman's intention to smoke, because they themselves feel no connection between cigarette smoke in pregnancy.

It is completely wrong. A researcher from Providence Hospital, Michigan stating that smoking is the number one cause of the birth of infants with adverse conditions, such as premature birth, babies are born too ketch or a baby dies before birth. This proves that if a pregnant woman desperate smoke, then there will be no that can protect the baby from harm.

Well, how can the cigarettes are so dangerous to the pregnancy and cause problems such as failure of pregnancy the fetus? It started from cigarette smoke. Cigarette smoke contains various chemicals that are dangerous, more than about four thousand of them cyanide, nicotine, carbon monoxide and 60 pieces of cancer-causing compounds. If a pregnant woman smokes, then all the chemicals will flow in the blood and to the fetus. While the four thousand chemicals that no one is good for the baby, then what happens is the baby will be contaminated with hazardous chemicals even before it grows.

Nicotine and carbon monoxide can result in fetal disorders because it can reduce the supply of oxygen through the umbilical cord. Nicotine works like cholesterol menyebabkab narrowing of blood vessels of pregnant women and clog the flow of oxygen around the blood vessels including the umbilical cord. The situation would worsen because of the red blood cells that carries oxygen in the end could also bring a molecule of carbon monoxide and distribute it to the fetus.

As with adult humans, the lack of oxygen can have a bad influence on infant growth, plus the consumption of excessive carbon monoxide. The result is that babies have a late development, damage to one organ or the most serious is the failure of the fetus or death.

If the baby is contaminated chemicals cigarettes successful birth, there will be abnormalities in the development of the body in terms of weight and size, body organs like the lungs are not functioning optimally and underdeveloped brain function.

All this of course was terrible. When an unborn baby are already suffering because of the mother's lifestyle is less healthy, this is already showing a lack of public awareness of the dangers of smoking. The same result can also be experienced horrible babies conceived by women who did not smoke, but secondhand smoke. For that, if you are pregnant then put away from cigarettes and smoke.

This egg will survive only up to 24 hours, while sperm can last a long time between 3 to 5 days in the body of a woman who had had sex.

5 Steps to making a baby

You and your partner have decided to have a baby! What an interesting journey you have chosen to begin! Granted, we all know how to make a baby, but sometimes it doesn't happen when we want it to. Here are some tips from the experts and those who have been there to help you make your dream of having a baby a reality.

Getting in shape

We all know we are supposed to gain weight during pregnancy. But beforehand, if we are overweight, should we lose a few pounds? How good of shape should we really be in? Dr Susann Clifford, assistant professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Duke University Medical Center, says it would be great if everyone could begin their pregnancies at their ideal body weight.

"However, radical weight loss prior to pregnancy just to achieve this weight is unnecessary and unhealthy," she says. "It is best to begin a sensible diet and exercise regimen prior to conception, and continue this while pregnant, and postpartum. It is true that obesity increases the risk of certain prenatal conditions, such as gestational diabetes and hypertension in pregnancy, and can complicate a successful vaginal delivery."

Dr Faris Ahmad, an obstetrician/gynecologist in Troy, Michigan, agrees it is a good idea to get into a good exercise routine prior to pregnancy. Mild aerobic exercise can be beneficial to pregnant women, but they are less likely to get on a good regimen while pregnant if they don't work out prior to conceiving.

Mom-to-be Paula Moore of Las Vegas, Nevada, says though she was always active before she conceived, being in shape for pregnancy was important. "The hardest thing for me has been trying to eat healthier and cutting out caffeine," she says. "But now that I'm pregnant I am definitely eating better."

Getting in shape also means quitting smoking and drinking alcohol, both which have been shown to cause birth defects, and taking prenatal vitamins and consuming at least 400 micrograms of folic acid each day several months before you start trying to have a baby.

Ovulation predictor kits

To maximize your chances of conception, you may want to purchase an ovulation predictor kit (OPK).

OPK's test for luteinizing hormone -- the hormone that peaks at ovulation. To detect the LH surge, you test your urine near mid-cycle to determine an increased level of LH. Most women will ovulate within 24 to 36 hours after the LH surge is detected. If you have intercourse at any time during the 24 to 36 hours after you detect your LH surge, you will maximize your chance of becoming pregnant.

Marion McLaughlin of Aurora, Illinois, got pregnant the first time she used an OPK.

"It was the same kind of thing as the home pregnancy test, which isn't difficult at all -- just peeing on a stick," she says. "I conceived the same day I used it."

Once you detect a surge in your LH, it is babymaking time!

Getting in the mood

Whether you have tracked your ovulation for months or you are just giving this whole babymaking stuff a first shot to see what happens, chances are it will start to feel like more of a job than lovemaking after you do it for a while. So how do you keep your babymaking exciting?

"We try to still be romantic and do something relaxing beforehand," says Connie Coulon of Edgewater, Florida. "My husband and I usually snuggle up on the couch and watch a movie or a show on TV. I also never tell him when I am at my peak fertility. That seems to take the pressure off of him to perform. I have tried everything from lingerie to making out in the car to set the mood."

Sarah Close, of San Jose, California, who tried to have a baby for more than six months and is now in the early weeks of pregnancy, says, "as long as you both remember what you're working for, then it's not too arduous a process." She says keeping a sense of humor also is important.

"Remember that although you have a goal you're working for, and sometimes the timing isn't terribly convenient, it's still making love," she says. "In a way, it's sort of like exercising. You know you should do it and you know it will make you feel good, but sometimes you need help getting motivated to start. But if you remember the results will be good, it's easier to get going."

Kimberly Smith, pregnant with her first child, says keeping the surprise alive always helps.

"My advice for staying in the mood is don't just make love when you are ovulating," says Smith, of Virginia. "If you do, your husband will feel like a sperm donor. Also, use lingerie if you are comfortable in it. What man can turn down a lace teddy meeting him at the door?"

Testing, Testing

When a fertilized egg is implanted in the uterus, the body produces a hormone called human chorionic gonadatropin (hCG), and its presence can be detected by an at-home pregnancy test.
