During this time it was thought, meaning thin baby suffering from malnutrition or certain diseases. In fact, can cause all sorts. "Tell your doctor, who knows your son is a specific disease. Her body was very thin. "This kind of advice we often hear or just give to friends that her son looks thin.

In fact, to determine whether or not skinny baby baby, do not quite see from his appearance alone. "The proper way is to measure and compare weight and height, although every baby has a weight and height are different," explains dr. Alinda Rubiati, Sp.A, child specialist of Fatmawati Hospital, Jakarta.

Similarly, for the affairs of thin monitor whether or not the child, must be continuous. "There is a curve or graph to see if the baby becomes more thin or not," said Alinda. Registration is usually done every month, so it will look how the body of the baby growth chart.

Thin Reference

Normally, body weight (BW) newborns had reached 2500 grams. Not too big, nor too small. Because if it's too small, it is feared his body organs can not fully grown so that it can harm the baby itself. Conversely, too much too scared of difficult birth in a normal way and must be via Caesarean section.

Cancer Screening with Jellyfish Techniques

The earlier a cancer is detected, the greater the chances for recovery. Unfortunately, detection of cancer is not easy because the disease is often asymptomatic until it reaches an advanced stage. Luckily, scientists managed to conduct screening technique to study the jellyfish.

As is known, the jellyfish could glow in the dark waters thanks to a particular protein in these marine animals. Well, cell protein that is able to remove this light and try to learn and used to mark the tumor inside the human body.

Cancer cells in the human body quite difficult to detect at an early stage. In fact, X-ray technology difficult to penetrate deep into tissues, especially bone, so the diagnosis of bone cancer that are microscopic rather impossible.

Scientists from the British study the protein in jellyfish that can glow. "What we do is to enter cells jellyfish protein into human cancer cells," said Professor Norman Maitland.

With a special camera, the protein seemed to glow when interacting with normal cells so it can be found in tumor cells where hiding. This method was developed from research conducted by U.S. scientist Roger Tsien, who won the Nobel Prize because it managed to purify the protein that makes jellyfish glow.

Research conducted Maitland is to use a virus that is harmless and is set only to bring proteins into the tumor. Once the virus is multiplying, the protein will be more and more colored. "Once the camera is turned on, the protein will expand so that we see the location of the cancer cells. We call this method Virimaging," he explained.
