Kematian Akibat Tibi Meningkat 13 Peratus Tahun Lalu

KUALA LUMPUR: Tibi atau Tuberculosis menjadi punca utama kematian bagi kategori penyakit berjangkit dengan mencatatkan peningkatan kes kematian sebanyak 13 peratus pada tahun lalu.

Menteri Kesihatan, Datuk Seri S Subramaniam, berkata sebanyak 1,597 kes kematian disebabkan Tibi dilaporkan di Malaysia pada tahun lalu iaitu sebanyak 183 kes berbanding 1,414 kes kematian pada 2012.

"Kes Tibi juga meningkat pada tahun lepas iaitu sejumlah 24,071 kes dilaporkan dan ia meningkat sebanyak enam peratus atau 1,361 kes berbanding 22,710 pada tahun 2012," katanya pada sidang media selepas merasmikan sambutan Hari Tibi Sedunia 2014 peringkat kebangsaan yang bertemakan 'Mantapkan Prestasi: Ke Arah Mengesan, Merawat dan Menyambuhkan Pesakit Tibi' di sini hari ini.

Beliau berkata, secara nisbah seorang pesakit Tibi yang aktif boleh memberi jangkitan kepada 10 orang lain sekiranya tidak mendapatkan rawatan lanjut dan tidak menghiraukan langkah pencegahan awal bagi menghapuskan kuman Tibi.

"Sebanyak 14 peratus pesakit Tibi merebak disebabkan oleh warga asing manakala 86 peratus lagi disebabkan oleh penduduk tempatan. Setakat ini Sabah adalah negeri yang mencatatkan kes Tibi paling banyak iaitu 4,526 kes," katanya.

Dr Subramaniam berkata, ujian sarinagn kesihatan mengesan penyakit itu pada peringkat awal adalah amat penting bagi masyarakat untuk ambil berat supaya individu yang disahkan menghidapi Tibi boleh mendapatkan rawatan lanjut bagi memutuskan rantaian jangkitan.

"Kenal pasti penyakit Tibi yang mustahak, kalau ada batuk berterusan, tidak ada selera makan dan demam yang berterusan tanpa sebab, individu itu perlu berjumpa doktor dengan kadar segera. "Ada keperluan untuk mendapat rawatan lanjut dan ubatan khusus untuk penyakit ini agar kuman yang boleh menjangkiti orang lain akan berkurangan dan tidak akan merebak," katanya.

Terdahulu dalam ucapan perasmiannya, Dr Subramaniam berkata kementerian itu begitu komited terhadap usaha menangani masalah penularan penyakit Tibi dalam kalangan rakyat dengan merangka beberapa pelan strategik kebangsaan seperti Program Kawalan Tibi Kebangsaan.

"Bagi memperkukuh Program Kawalan Tibi Kebangsaan ini, Kementerian Kesihatan telah menyediakan beberapa strategi untuk mendekati pesakit Tibi yang masih tidak mendapatkan perkhidmatan rawatan yang disediakan dalam proses penyembuhan penyakit ini.

"Antaranya ialah memperluaskan perkhidmatan rawatan Tibi kepada klinik-klinik swasta bagi memastikan rakyat mendapat rawatan Tibi yang cepat, tepat dan efisien," katanya.

Malaysia-Rusia Bakal Menghasilkan Vaksin Denggi

SYARIKAT dari Malaysia dan Rusia akan menjalin kerjasama untuk membangunkan vaksin denggi pertama di dunia dalam tempoh lima tahun akan datang.

Kerjasama itu antara Pahang Technology Resources Sdn Bhd dan NT Pharma, syarikat berpangkalan di Moscow yang separuh daripada sahamnya dimiliki oleh kerajaan Rusia.

Timbalan Menteri Pembangunan Ekonomi Persekutuan Rusia, Alexey Likhachev berkata, kerjasama itu akan melibatkan penggunaan teknologi tinggi dari Rusia yang dilakukan di Pahang.

“Di negara kami tidak ada denggi tetapi kami mempunyai teknologi yang dapat membantu menghasilkan vaksin itu dan dapat memberi manfaat kepada Malaysia.

“Ia adalah teknologi yang tidak pernah digunakan oleh negara lain sebelum ini,” katanya selepas forum perniagaan Malaysia-Rusia di Kuala Lumpur, semalam.

Menurutnya, aktiviti pembangunan dan penyelidikan dijangka mengambil masa dua tahun bagi menghasilkan vaksin itu.

Sementara itu, Timbalan Menteri Perdagangan Antarabangsa dan Industri, Datuk Ir Hamim Samuri berkata, pihaknya yakin akan meningkatkan jumlah dagangan dua hala antara Rusia dan Malaysia.

Pada 2013, jumlah dagangan kedua-dua negara meningkat 66.6 peratus kepada RM5.7 bilion berbanding RM3.4 bilion pada 2012.

Antara sektor yang diberi tumpuan adalah aeroangkasa, elektrik dan elektronik, automotif dan alat ganti serta perabot.

Situasi Terkini Demam Denggi Di Malaysia

Pada minggu ke 7 tahun 2014, sebanyak 2,265 kes telah dilaporkan iaitu meningkat 68 kes (3.1%) berbanding dengan minggu sebelumnya 2,197 kes. Jumlah kumulatif kes Denggi yang dilaporkan di seluruh negara adalah 13,915 kes berlaku peningkatan sebanyak 302.2% (10,455 kes) berbanding dengan hanya 3,460 kes dilaporkan bagi tempoh yang sama tahun 2013. Terdapat sepuluh (10) negeri yang menunjukkan peningkatan kes berbanding minggu sebelumnya iaitu Pahang 24 kes (150%), Kelantan 20 kes (20%), Johor 20 kes (18%), Pulau Pinang 17 kes (46%), Perak 16 kes (12%), Terengganu 11 kes (110%), Melaka 10 kes (14%), Kedah 4 kes (24%), Sabah 4 kes (24%) dan Sarawak 3 kes (11%).

Pada minggu lepas, terdapat enam (6) kematian denggi dilaporkan menjadikan jumlah kumulatif kematian Denggi sehingga kini adalah sebanyak 25 kematian, meningkat sebanyak 17 kematian (213%) berbanding hanya lapan (8) kematian direkodkan bagi tempoh yang sama tahun 2013.

Berikutan situasi denggi yang masih melaporkan kes dan kematian yang tinggi, Kementerian Kesihatan meneruskan pemantauan rapi dan tindakan proaktif dalam mengawal situasi denggi diseluruh negara. Disamping perlaksanaan kaedah kawalan baharu, peringkat tertinggi Kementerian Kesihatan mengadakan mesyuarat setiap minggu bersama negeri – negeri yang bermasalah denggi termasuk bersama pakar penyelidik, pakar klinikal dan agensi lain yang berkaitan. Antara perkara yang akan dilaksanakan hasil keputusan mesyuarat tersebut adalah:

1. Bagi kawasan hotspots semburan kabus secara kombinasi iaitu menggunakan racun serangga (insecticide) dan temephos bagi membunuh nyamuk dewasa dan larva secara serentak bagi memastikan aktiviti kawalan lebih berkesan.
2. Pemantauan rapi di kawasan berwabak akan diteruskan termasuk mempastikan pegawai pegawai dari setiap daerah dan negeri “turun padang” dan membuat pemantauan di lapangan.
3. Setiap Pejabat Kesihatan Daerah dan Jabatan Kesihatan Negeri mengenal pasti punca punca pembiakan utama termasuk di tapak tapak binaan dan memfokus intervensi mengikut masalah setempat.
4. Meningkatkan aktiviti penguatkuasaan agar kesedaran masyarakat terhadap menghapuskan tempat tempat pembiakan di praktikkan dalam amalan harian mereka.
5. Kementerian Kesihatan akan mengadakan gotong-royong secara serentak di sepuluh lokaliti hotspots pada awal bulan Mac. Penyertaaan agensi lain termasuk Badan Bukan Kerajaan di alu alukan.
6. Meningkatkan kesedaran masyarakat bagi melindungi diri gigitan nyamuk melalui penggunaan repellen dan penggunaan aerosol.
7. Mempertingkatkan aktiviti kawalan melalui pengurangan sumber pembiakan Aedes yang lebih menyeluruh dilokaliti melalui penglibatan semua agensi. Ianya berkesan dalam kawalan denggi untuk tempoh yang lebih lama.

Diharapkan dengan perlaksanaan perkara-perkara ini, ianya dapat mengekang peningkatan kes dan kematian denggi yang berlaku pada ketika ini. Cara paling berkesan mencegah denggi adalah mempastikan tiada nyamuk Aedes di persekitaran kita. Oleh itu, saya ingin menyeru semua masyarakat meningkatkan aktiviti mencari dan menghapuskan tempat pembiakan Aedes setiap minggu dan menjaga kebersihaan dalam rumah serta persekitaran mereka.

Info Sihat Bersama I-Medik: Demam Denggi

Bersama;
Dr Muhammad Syamil Mohamad Salmi
Pengerusi I-Medik Selangor

Mukadimah 

Sejak akhir-akhir ini kita dikejutkan dengan peningkatan kes denggi yang mendadak. Pada tahun 2013, terdapat sebanyak 19,872 kes dilaporkan, di mana 88 kes daripadanya berakhir dengan kematian.

Demam denggi merupakan sejenis penyakit yang disebabkan oleh Virus Denggi yang disebabkan oleh Nyamuk Aedes. Cara penyebarannya adalah melalui gigitan nyamuk daripada orang yang berpenyakit denggi kepada orang yang sihat.

Virus denggi akan terpendam di dalam badan pesakit selama 3 hingga 14 hari sebelum menunjukkan gejala-gejala tertentu. Pesakit mungkin mengalami demam mengejut diikuti berbagai tanda-tanda dan gejala-gejala yang tidak khusus.

Apakah gejala-gejala demam denggi?

Antara gejala-gejala demam denggi adalah demam yang tinggi, sakit pada tulang-tulang dan otot-otot, sakit-sakit sendi, sakit pada bebola mata, ruam atau bintik pada kulit, pendarahan bawah kulit, hidung atau gusi, muntah-muntah, sakit perut dan ulu hati dan juga hilang selera makan.

Siapakah yang berisiko dijangkiti denggi?

Pada asasnya, semua orang berisiko untuk dijangkiti denggi, terutamanya mereka yang tinggal di kawasan-kawasan endemik seperti yang telah dilaporkan oleh Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia.

Bagaimana mencegah denggi?

Pertama sekali, pastikan diri anda dilindungi dari gigitan nyamuk. Anda boleh menggunakan bahan pembunuh nyamuk atau menggunakan jaring penghalang nyamuk di tingkap-tingkap rumah anda. Kedua, elakkan daripada melawat ke kawasan-kawasan berisiko tinggi pada siang hari, kerana nyamuk aedes sangaat aktif pada waktu tersebut.

Seterusnya, musnahkan tempat-tempat pembiakan nyamuk dengan cara-cara berikut; pastikan anda selalu menukar air di dalam pasu bunga atau bekas air. Pastikan juga anda menutup rapat bekas-bekas air tersebut. Anda juga boleh memasukkan ubat-ubat pembunuh jentik-jentik ke dalam bekas tersebut. Seterusnya, buangkan air dan basuh pengalaspasu-pasu bunga di rumah anda dan jangan lupa memeriksa saluran air hujan pada bumbung rumah anda dan buang apa jua bahan yang boleh menyekat saluran air.

Ingat! Pastikan persekitaran rumah anda bersih daripada punca pembiakan nyamuk.

Penutup

Sebagai pesanan akhir, jika anda mengalami demam berpanjangan dan mempunyai gejala-gejala denggi, segeralah bertemu dengan doktor untuk pemeriksaan lanjut. Jika anda disyakki denggi, anda berkemungkinan di masukkan ke dalam wad atau dibenarkan pulang dengan pemantauan keputusan darah. Pastikan juga anda minum air sebanyak 2 hingga 3 liter sehari.

Saudara, denggi boleh membawa maut. Sayangilah diri dan keluarga anda dengan bersama mencegah denggi.

Sekian, wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

"From January to March 15 this year, a total 21,967 cases were reported, an increase of 321 percent or 16,746 cases compared to 5,221 cases in the same period last year," said Dr Subramaniam.

He said the serotype DEN 2 virus was among the factors in the increase number of deaths from dengue.

"The serotype DEN 2 viral infection will give a worse clinical manifestation and have a higher risk of complication compared to infections from other serotypes," he said.

He said 458 localities of the epidemic was reported in 12 states with 84 localities being categorised as hotspots involved in epidemics of more than a month.

A total of 70 hotspots were in Selangor, namely, in Hulu Langat (32), Petaling (32), Gombak (five) and Klang (one).

Masa Depan Lebih Jelas dengan OMEC (Opportunities in Medical Career Seminar)

MADINAH NASR, 2 Mac : Lebih 600 mahasiswa dan mahasiswi aliran perubatan, pergigian dan farmasi menghadiri Opportunities in Medical Career Seminar, OMEC yang telah diadakan kelmarin pada 28 Februari. OMEC bertujuan memberi pendedahan akan peluang dalam kerjaya perubatan dan kelayakannya serta menjadi platform bagi mhasiswa menyuarakan pendapat dan pandangan dalam bidang sains perubatan dan kepakarannya. Seminar tersebut menampilkan barisan mantap gandingan pegawai-pegawai perubatan dalam pelbagai bidang dan kepakaran masing-masing, serta seorang pegawai Sumber Manusia (Human Resource) di sebuah hospital ternama di tanah air.

Antaranya ialah Prof Dr Zainur Rashid Bin Zainuddin, doktor pakar sakit puan (Obstetric and Gynecology) yang kini merupakan dekan di IMU Clinical School, International Medical University (IMU) Seremban, Negeri Sembilan. Lebih mesra dengan panggilan Dr Zain, beliau merupakan doktor pakar yang cemerlang dalam kepakarannya dan dalam masa yang sama merupakan aktivis sukarelawan kepada misi-misi kemanusiaan di serata dunia terutamanya di Afghanistan, Palestin dan Acheh. Kini setelah 25 tahun menabur jasa pada masyarakat, beliau hadir ke OMEC memberi inspirasi kepada generasi pelapis doktor muda untuk menjadi pengamal perubatan yang mampu mengesani masyarakat luar.

Selain itu, penampilan menarik pasangan sedondon Prof Dr Madya Azizi Bin Ayob dan Prof Dr Rafidah Hanim Binti Mokhtar juga menambat hati audien. Dr Azizi yang kini menjawat sebagai profesor dalam bidang Clinical Pharmacology di IMU, Seremban dan pada masa yang sama mempunyai syarikat farmasi sendiri. Beliau mempunyai pengalaman menceburi bidang farmasi secara klinikal dan industri selain pernah bekerja di syarikat farmasi tersohor di Asia Tenggara di Jakarta selama tiga tahun. Para audien amat teruja dengan penerangan selok belok dunia sains perubatan dan bagaimana untuk memilih jalan yang bijak untuk berjaya dalam kerjaya ini.

Seorang ibu, isteri dan doktor yang amat disegani masyarakat dan lantang menyuarakan kebenaran menentang suara-suara liberal dan feminism liberal di Malaysia, Prof Dr Rafidah Hanim Binti Mokhtar berkongsi pengalaman beliau dalam bab kekeluargaan dan pendidikan anak-anak. Kelihatan peserta dari kalangan mahasiswi begitu tertarik memasang telinga mendapatkan konsep asas dan prinsip yang perlu dijaga dalam mengurus rumah tangga dan anak-anak dari perspektif wanita berkerjaya. Dr Rafidah juga menjadi contoh kepada mahasiswa dan mahasiwi Mesir mengenai kelantangan bersuara dan menyatakan kebenaran oleh para doktor beragama Islam yang punyai kefahaman yang sahih untuk menentang aliran-aliran pemikikan songsang yang cuba menular dalam masyarakat sekarang.

Tidak kering gusi para peserta apabila Dr Irfan Bin Salmi melangkah masuk mengambil alih pentas. Pengalaman beliau selama beberapa bulan menyelami kehidupan sebagai Housemanship Officer (HO) di Hospital Seremban amat menarik perhatian audien. Kehidupan sebagai HO yang sering dikatakan penuh dengan stres dan pelbagai tekanan jiwa menjadi seronok dan istimewa apabila mendengar cerita hari-hariannya. Beliau juga menekankan kepada semua penuntut dalam bidang perubatan di Mesir untuk belajar bersungguh-sungguh secara teori dan praktikal supaya menjadi doktor yang berketerampilan kelak. Dr Irfan yang sedia aktif dalam amal dakwah dari bangku menara gading, masih bergiat aktif hingga ke hari ini walaupun memiliki masa yang terhad sebagai HO.

Di samping itu, OMEC lebih menambat hati peserta apabila sesi forum ramah mesra bersama para panelis dikendalikan sendiri oleh Dr Zain. Dalam forum tersebut, barisan panelis telah berkongsi pelbagai skop pengetahuan yang lebih luas tentang perjalanan kerjaya masing-masing, harapan masyarakat Malaysia terhadap graduan perubatan daripada Mesir, bagaimana menjadi doktor yang istimewa dengan ‘added values’  dan perancangan dan pengurusan kekeluargaan untuk ibu bapa yang berkerjaya serta kewajipan untuk berdakwah kepada masyarakat dan menjadi suara muslim profesional yang bakal menentang arus merbahaya seperti  liberalism, sekularisma dan liberal feminisma.

OMEC juga telah menyediakan pameran berkenaan laluan kerjaya, pilihan-pilihan yang ada dan apakah manfaat mahupun cabaran yang mungkin dihadapi setelah membuat pemilihan. OMEC yang berlangsung seharian suntuk itu, dirasmikan oleh Tuan Hj Mohammad Imran Bin Ibrahim, Setiausaha Kedua Pendidikan Akademik, Medic, Penyelidikan dan Pengkormesilan Education Malaysia Egypt (EME) KBMK dan melabuhkan tirainya dengan acara menyampaian hadiah kepada alhi I-Medik Mesir yang cemerlang dalam akademik serta penyeraham tag nama I-Medik kepada para graduan perubatan dalam kalangan ahli I-Medik Mesir pada jam 7.30 malam.

“OMEC amat bermanfaat bagi saya kerana ia disampaikan oleh para doktor yang amat berengalaman dan ini member saya inspirasi untuk terus maju pada tahun-tahun yang mendatang” kata saudara Hanif Bin Rusling penuntut tahun satu di Fakulti Pergigian Universiti Assiut. Saudara Fahmi Bin Haziq, seorang mahasiswa di universiti yang sama di Fakulti Farmasi pula berkata “Saya akan ingat sampai bila-bila kata Dr Azizi untuk menjaga license yang diterima nanti. Selok belok dan liku-liku kehidupan beliau sebagai seorang ahli farmasi juga boleh dijadikan teladan”.

Mystery Behind the High Heels

Many do not know the hidden disease behind this high heels. High heels are designed to push the chest forward and the hips backward, so the spine is out of it's original position. This causes health problems not only to the feet but the whole body. It can cause uncomfortable urination, problem of the back and the hips if one wearing it for a long time. Besides, it also can cause pain the jaw, neck and head.

"High heels are designed to push the chest forward and the hips backward"

This is what was a mystery  for us actually, is it the designer of high heels purposely create the high heels to force women to show their breasts and buttocks while standing and walking? is this Jewish conspiracy and freemanson? Let us think about it together!

50 Survival Tips for HO by Dr. Harlina

SURVIVAL TIPS FOR HOUSE OFFICERS : Tip no. 1 - Set your intention right. It's neither about the money, the highly respected position and the power. It is about PUBLIC SERVITUDE, serving those who are in need of healthcare. Only after you have served well, then only you could deserve the rewards, privileges and rights allocated for medical practitioners! Welcome on board!

SURVIVAL TIPS FOR HOUSE OFFICERS : Tip no. 2 - Have the right attitudes. Being the most junior officer in the team, you really have a lot to catch up and learn. Never pretend that you know all. Never hesitate to admit that you do not know, to ask questions and assistance. Respect those who are more experienced than you. People with the right attitudes are welcome wherever they go, always...all the time!

SURVIVAL TIPS FOR HOUSE OFFICERS : Tip no. 3 - Put on your best smile and outstanding manners. Greet everyone with a cheerful salam. No matter how busy you are, don't forget to move your temporo-mandibular joints and carve out a big smile. It will stimulate a fountain of endorphins in your neuron synapses, and aha...the feel-good feeling will set in. Don't believe this? Just try....just do it.

SURVIVAL TIPS FOR HOUSE OFFICERS : Tip no. 4 - Work extra hard to convince people that you are reliable, responsible, accountable and able to complete tasks and meet expectations - within the first two weeks! Once people know you're committed, you'll gain their trust, respect & cooperation. Just mark my words! 

SURVIVAL TIPS FOR HOUSE OFFICER : Tip no.5 - Refresh your inner self with daily, constant and effective spiritual input. For Muslim, don't ever neglect your 5 times daily prayers, no matter how busy you are. You really need that 5 -10 minutes regular breaks. It acts as a cooling oasis for you to rejuvenate. 

SURVIVAL TIPS FOR HOUSE OFFICERS : Tip no.6 : Mend your bruised heart and dented self-esteem, quickly and effectively - each time you received unpleasant reminders of your incompetency & shortcoming from your seniors. It's a part and parcel of the job. Admit your mistakes, but PLEASE, try hard not to repeat them. To err is human, but to keep doing the same error is a major blunder! 

SURVIVAL TIPS FOR HOUSE OFFICERS : Tip no.7 : Keep in touch with your loved ones - parents, spouses, close friends, teachers etc. Don't shut out your life, which mainly linger around your wards, call roster and private room now. There is more to life out there than just work or crashing into bed to recover from sleep deprivation. 

SURVIVAL TIPS FOR HOUSE OFFICERS : Tip no.8 : Make friend with the nurses. Never ever be their enemy. Life would be much easier if you know how to win their hearts. Dr Meena (Paeds MO) gave me this very precious advice : Harlina, be nice to these people (nurses). They will decide whether you will have your meals or not during your calls. Yesss, I later realized how true that advice was! 

SURVIVAL TIPS FOR HOUSE OFFICERS : Tip no.9 : Forgive those who raised their voices at you. They might be angry patients, stressed-up MOs, overwhelmed colleagues, frustrated consultants, irritated nurses etc. Nobody had ever shouted at you before,eh? Being a HO, anticipate your first experience here. Forgive them, forget them and live on. After all, we're all just humans living in the same pressure cooker! 

SURVIVAL TIPS FOR HOUSE OFFICERS : Tip no.10 - Thank God for the honour of being His instrument/tool of Mercy to mankind. A great opportunity is at your doorstep to catapult your good self to be bigger than life. Grab that opportunity and seize the golden moments. Nothing compares with the feeling of satisfaction whenever your patients & relatives say : Thank you, Doc !

SURVIVAL TIPS FOR HOUSE OFFICERS : Tip no. 11 - Handle yourself well when dealing with difficult people. Feeling victimized, bullied and discriminated? After reflecting on yourself, I suggest you pluck some courage to meet face-to-face. Clarify, admit your mistakes and make peace. InsyaAllah, things will be fine. 

SURVIVAL TIPS FOR HOUSE OFFICERS : Tip no. 12 - Treat your patients as if they are your own parents/relatives. Just as how you would like any doctor to treat your parents, that's exactly how you should treat your patients now. Remember, what comes around, goes around! Motivate your patients always, you'll feel the positive energy seeping into you too. 

SURVIVAL TIPS FOR HOUSE OFFICERS : Tip no. 13 - Express your love to your spouse everyday, using his/her love language. Let him/her know how much his/her support & understanding means to you. Share your ups and downs, laughter & tears. Thank Allah everyday for sending you this special person. Those who are still unmarried, what's keeping you, guys? 

SURVIVAL TIPS FOR HOUSE OFFICERS : Tip no. 14 - Be sincere in treating your patients, be gentle and caring. Control your anger and frustration, avoid explosive emotional outburst in front of your patients. If you really need to release the steam, do it in the washroom with the tap running (peace, Mother Earth)- I consider that as an effective form of anger management! 

SURVIVAL TIPS FOR HOUSE OFFICERS : Tip no. 15 - Keep abreast with what's happening around you - medical & non-medical, locally and globally.
