In conjunction with MSC Malaysia Summit 2010Sphygmomanometer
A sphygmomanometer or blood pressure meter is a device used to measure blood pressure, comprising an inflatable cuff to restrict blood flow, and a mercury or mechanical manometer to measure the pressure. It is always used in conjunction with a means to determine at what pressure blood flow is just starting, and at what pressure it is unimpeded. Manual sphygmomanometers are used in conjunction with a stethoscope.
The word comes from the Greek sphygmós (pulse), plus the scientific term manometer (pressure meter). The device was invented by Samuel Siegfried Karl Ritter von Basch in 1881. Scipione Riva-Rocci introduced a more easily used version in 1896. Harvey Cushing discovered this device in 1901 and popularized it.
A sphygmomanometer consists of an inflatable cuff, a measuring unit (the mercury manometer, or aneroid gauge), and inflation bulb and valve, for manual instruments.
Operation
In humans, the cuff is normally placed smoothly and snugly around an upper arm, at roughly the same vertical height as the heart while the subject is seated with the arm supported. Other sites of placement depend on species, and may include the tongue, flipper, tail or teat. It is essential that the correct size of cuff is selected for the patient. Too small a cuff results in too high a pressure, whilst too large a cuff results in too low a pressure. The cuff is inflated until the artery is completely occluded. Listening with a stethoscope to the brachial artery at the elbow, the examiner slowly releases the pressure in the cuff. As the pressure in the cuffs falls, a "whooshing" or pounding sound is heard when blood flow first starts again in the artery. The pressure at which this sound began is noted and recorded as the systolic blood pressure. The cuff pressure is further released until the sound can no longer be heard. This is recorded as the diastolic blood pressure. In noisy environments where auscultation is impossible (such as the scenes often encountered in emergency medicine), systolic blood pressure alone may be read by releasing the pressure until a radial pulse is palpated (felt). In veterinary medicine, auscultation is rarely of use, and palpation or visualization of pulse distal to the sphygmomanometer is used to detect systolic pressure.
Significance
By observing the mercury in the column while releasing the air pressure with a control valve, one can read the values of the blood pressure in mm Hg. The peak pressure in the arteries during the cardiac cycle is the systolic pressure, and the lowest pressure (at the resting phase of the cardiac cycle) is the diastolic pressure. A stethoscope is used in the auscultatory method. Systolic pressure (first phase) is identified with the first of the continuous Korotkoff sounds. Diastolic is identified at the moment the Korotkoff sounds disappear (fifth phase).
Types
There are three types of sphygmomanometers:
- Digital with manual or automatic inflation. These are electronic, easy to operate, and practical in noisy environments. Many have not been validated for all patient groups, and they can give very inaccurate readings. They measure mean arterial pressure (MAP) and use oscillometric detection to calculate systolic and diastolic values. In this sense, they do not actually measure the blood pressure, but rather derive the readings. Digital oscillometric monitors are also confronted with "special conditions" for which they are not designed to be used: arteriosclerosis; arrhythmia; preeclampsia; pulsus alternans; and pulsus paradoxus. Some wrist cuff blood pressure monitors have been found to be quite accurate, but the monitor has to be at the level of the heart when the reading is taken.
- Digital portable finger blood pressure monitors with automatic inflation. These are more portable and easy to operate, although less accurate. They are the smallest blood pressure monitors.
- Manual. Should be operated by a trained person. Mercury manometers are considered to be the "gold standard" of measurement because their measurement is absolute and does not require re-calibration. For this reason they are often required in clinical trials of pharmaceuticals and for clinical evaluations of determining blood pressure for high risk patients including pregnant women. Aneroid, mechanical types are in common use, but they should be calibrated against a mercury manometer. The unit of measurement of blood pressure is millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Blood pressures are usually given as an even number. Manual sphygmomanometers require a stethoscope for auscultation.
Clinical Mercury ManometerDengue Fever
Overview
Dengue fever is an infectious disease carried by mosquitoes and caused by any of four related dengue viruses. This disease used to be called "break-bone" fever because it sometimes causes severe joint and muscle pain that feels like bones are breaking, hence the name. Health experts have known about dengue fever for more than 200 years.
Dengue fever is found mostly during and shortly after the rainy season in tropical and subtropical areas of
Worldwide, 50 to 100 million cases of dengue infection occur each year. This includes 100 to 200 cases in the United States, mostly in people who have recently traveled abroad. Many more cases likely go unreported because some health care providers do not recognize the disease.
During the last part of the 20th century, many tropical regions of the world saw an increase in dengue cases. Epidemics also occurred more frequently and with more severity. In addition to typical dengue, dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome also have increased in many parts of the world. Globally, there are an estimated several hundred thousand cases of DHF per year.
Cause
Dengue fever can be caused by any one of four types of dengue virus: DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4. You can be infected by at least two if not all four types at different times during your lifetime, but only once by the same type.
Transmission
You can get dengue virus infections from the bite of an infected Aedes mosquito. Mosquitoes become infected when they bite infected humans, and later transmit infection to other people they bite.
Two main species of mosquito, Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, have been responsible for all cases of dengue transmitted in this country. Dengue is not contagious from person to person.
Symptoms
Symptoms of typical uncomplicated (classic) dengue usually start with fever within 4 to 7 days after you have been bitten by an infected mosquito and include High fever, up to 105ºF
Symptoms of dengue hemorrhagic fever include all of the symptoms of classic dengue plus
Symptoms of dengue shock syndrome--the most severe form of dengue disease--include all of the symptoms of classic dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever, plus
Diagnosis
Your health care provider can diagnose dengue fever by doing two blood tests, 2 to 3 weeks apart. The tests can show whether a sample of your blood contains antibodies to the virus. In epidemics, a health care provider often can diagnose dengue by typical signs and symptoms.
Treatment
There is no specific treatment for classic dengue fever, and most people recover within 2 weeks. To help with recovery, health care experts recommend
For severe dengue symptoms, including shock and coma, early and aggressive emergency treatment with fluid and electrolyte replacement can be lifesaving.
Prevention
The best way to prevent dengue virus infection is to take special precautions to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes. Several dengue vaccines are being developed, but none is likely to be licensed by the Food and Drug Administration in the next few years.
When outdoors in an area where dengue fever has been found
Other precautions include
Most people who develop dengue fever recover completely within 2 weeks. Some, especially adults, may be tired and/or depressed for several weeks to months after being infected with the virus.
The more clinically severe dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndromes can result in vascular (blood vessel) and liver damage, and can be life-threatening.

Symptoms of dengue shock syndrome--the most severe form of dengue disease--include all of the symptoms of classic dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever, plus
- Fluids leaking outside of blood vessels
- Massive bleeding
- Shock (very low blood pressure)
Diagnosis
Your health care provider can diagnose dengue fever by doing two blood tests, 2 to 3 weeks apart. The tests can show whether a sample of your blood contains antibodies to the virus. In epidemics, a health care provider often can diagnose dengue by typical signs and symptoms.
Treatment
There is no specific treatment for classic dengue fever, and most people recover within 2 weeks. To help with recovery, health care experts recommend
- Getting plenty of bed rest
- Drinking lots of fluids
- Taking medicine to reduce fever

When outdoors in an area where dengue fever has been found
- Use a mosquito repellent containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus
- Dress in protective clothing—long-sleeved shirts, long pants, socks, and shoes
Other precautions include
- Keeping unscreened windows and doors closed
- Keeping window and door screens repaired
- Getting rid of areas where mosquitoes breed, such as standing water in flower pots, containers, birdbaths, discarded tires, etc.
Most people who develop dengue fever recover completely within 2 weeks. Some, especially adults, may be tired and/or depressed for several weeks to months after being infected with the virus.

Save Without Sacrifice
There's no question that saving for the future is critical. While some people save for retirement or to support their children, others seek a vacation or a down payment on a home. Whatever the case, putting income aside is part of life - and when it comes to saving, the sooner you start, the bigger the payoff.
But even if you have a specific goal in mind - for example, digging yourself out of debt - being a penny-pincher just isn't fun. Fattening your bank account may be a priority, but so is enjoying life. And although some people equate saving money with social suicide, a healthy bank account doesn't have to mean eliminating social engagements. Realistically, a "no expenses" diet is impossible unless you're a hermit - and that's why you should focus on slashing costs where you can instead of cutting yourself off completely.
Let's take a look at three things you can do to save, but without all the grumpy side effects.
1. Rethink the Luxuries
Our consumer culture is replete with new technologies and endless competition, which means nifty gadgets and superfluous luxuries have become par for the course. We're constantly bombarded with appeals to take part in the social ritual of buying products that look tempting, no matter how frivolous or unnecessary they may be. As for what we do need, advertisers are adept at selling consumers on cool-looking, costly brands, when their lesser-known, cheaper counterparts are just as good.
Of course, it's the buyer's prerogative to choose: you can go with the latest MP3 player, complete with video, email and color-coordinating accessories, or you can pick a basic, less expensive model - it might not be as fancy, but you still get music, right? Why not save your extra dollars for something that really counts?
Before you reach for your wallet, ask yourself whether the purchase is a need or a want.If it's a want, determine whether it's worth it: in the long run, would you rather have the latest iPod - and let's face it, you mostly want it because of the hype - or the peace of mind in knowing you've delayed gratification in order to afford something more meaningful? Apply this principle to every retail temptation you're faced with and you'll avoid needlessly dumping your money.
2. The Vice-A-Day Deal
We've all heard that the best way to save is to curtail extraneous spending - bring lunch from home, watch movies on TV and lose the daily latte. But cutting all fun food out of your life probably isn't the best way to diet, a bare-bones approach to saving likely won't last, either - and you'll be miserable to boot.
So instead of depriving yourself of spending money on anything, ever, try easing back: indulge in a vice a day, whether a morning cappuccino, lunch with friends, or a video rental. Not only will you save a ton by allowing just one daily extravagance, you'll appreciate the treat that much more. Take the money you would normally spend on the extra indulgences and put it into your savings account. You probably won't miss the extra dollars, but by the end of the year, you'll be rewarded with a significantly stacked bank account.
3. Trim Housing Costs
Bills are a fact of life, but that doesn't mean you can't reduce them. All it takes is a few household tweaks that can end up saving you hundreds of dollars every year.
When it comes to utilities, shop around: it's a consumer-driven marketplace and utility companies have to compete just like every other industry. Switch to a company that offers a low-cost plan that works with your lifestyle.
To avoid paying for "phantom loads", the small amount of electricity that many appliances consume even when you think they're off, take pains to unplug all appliances and electronics that aren't in use. That includes anything from cell phone chargers to your computer, DVD player and video game console.
Also, moving your thermostat a few notches creates a barely noticeable difference in temperature, but can make a significant dent in your monthly utility payments.
Another simple way to save is to install eco-friendly devices in your home, like low-flow shower heads and energy-saving appliances. With sustainability at the forefront of the social agenda, it's easier than ever to find green appliances at a low cost, and these switches will amount to a hefty reduction in your bills by year's end. While you're giving your home an energy makeover, exchange all those incandescent light bulbs for compact fluorescent bulbs; they use 75% less energy and have a much longer lifespan.
Start Today for Tomorrow's Savings
Whatever your financial goals, it's best to tailor spending habits to your individual lifestyle. Decide what can be reasonably cut from your budget: if you can live without a morning cup of java, for example, forgo it. If not, pack your lunch instead of buying it, or frequent the video store instead of the theater. And there's no need to pass up a social life when there's plenty of entertainment that costs nothing: bike rides, beach days, picnics in the park, even museums and art galleries. Get out there, explore your city, have fun with your friends and don't ever feel the need to sacrifice your life for your savings.

Salam Maulidur Rasul
12 Rabiul Awal 1430H
Muhammad ibn ‘Abdullāh is the founder of the religion of Islam and is regarded by Muslims as a messenger and prophet of God (Allāh), the last and the greatest law-bearer in a series of prophets.
Muslims consider him the restorer of the uncorrupted original monotheistic faith (Islam) of Adam, Nuh, Ibrahim, Musa, Isa and other prophets.
He was also active as a diplomat, merchant, philosopher, orator, legislator, reformer, military general, and, according to Muslim belief, an agent of divine action.
Born in 570 CE in the Arabian city of Mecca, he was orphaned at a young age and brought up under the care of his uncle Abu Talib. He later worked mostly as a merchant, as well as a shepherd, and was first married by age 25.
Discontented with life in Mecca, he retreated to a cave in the surrounding mountains for meditation and reflection. According to Islamic beliefs it was here, at age 40, in the month of Ramadan, where he received his first revelation from God.
Three years after this event Muhammad started preaching these revelations publicly, proclaiming that "God is One", that complete "surrender" to Him (lit. islām) is the only way (dīn) acceptable to God, and that he himself was a prophet and messenger of God, in the same vein as other Islamic prophets.
Muhammad gained few followers early on, and was met with hostility from some Meccan tribes; he and his followers were treated harshly.
To escape persecution Muhammad and his followers migrated to Medina (then known as Yathrib) in the year 622 CE.
This event, the Hijra, marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar.
In Medina, Muhammad united the conflicting tribes, and after eight years of fighting with the Meccan tribes, his followers, who by then had grown to ten thousand, conquered Mecca without bloodshed.
In 632 a few months after returning to Medina from his Farewell pilgrimage, Muhammad fell ill and died. By the time of his death most of the Arabian Peninsula had converted to Islam and he united the tribes of Arabia into a single Muslim religious polity.
The revelations (or Ayat, lit. "Signs of God") which Muhammad reported receiving until his death form the verses of the Qur'an, regarded by Muslims as the “word of God” and around which the religion is based.
Besides the Qur'an, Muhammad’s life (sira) and traditions (sunnah) are also upheld by Muslims.
They discuss Muhammad and other prophets of Islam with reverence, adding the phrase peace be upon him whenever their names are mentioned.
While conceptions of Muhammad in medieval Christendom and premodern times were largely negative, appraisals in modern times have been far less so.
Besides this, his life and deeds have been debated by followers and opponents over the centuries.

To escape persecution Muhammad and his followers migrated to Medina (then known as Yathrib) in the year 622 CE.
This event, the Hijra, marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar.
In Medina, Muhammad united the conflicting tribes, and after eight years of fighting with the Meccan tribes, his followers, who by then had grown to ten thousand, conquered Mecca without bloodshed.
In 632 a few months after returning to Medina from his Farewell pilgrimage, Muhammad fell ill and died. By the time of his death most of the Arabian Peninsula had converted to Islam and he united the tribes of Arabia into a single Muslim religious polity.
The revelations (or Ayat, lit. "Signs of God") which Muhammad reported receiving until his death form the verses of the Qur'an, regarded by Muslims as the “word of God” and around which the religion is based.
Besides the Qur'an, Muhammad’s life (sira) and traditions (sunnah) are also upheld by Muslims.
They discuss Muhammad and other prophets of Islam with reverence, adding the phrase peace be upon him whenever their names are mentioned.
While conceptions of Muhammad in medieval Christendom and premodern times were largely negative, appraisals in modern times have been far less so.
Besides this, his life and deeds have been debated by followers and opponents over the centuries.
Sweet Memories
Cheers to the 70's... 80's babies...
Those OLD days!!!
You grew up watching He-man, Transformers, Thundercats, Silver Hawk, Space Cop Gaban, Ultraman, and Mighty Mouse. Not to forget, Ninja Turtles, Mask and Smurfs too.
You grew up brushing your teeth with a mug in primary school after recess time.
You squatted by a drain with all your classmates beside you, and brushed your teeth with a colourful mug. Remember the days when the school nurse comes with a list for the dentist appointments, the sound of the drilling when your friend has a fill in his tooth.
You remember the packets of milk (Projeck Susu Segar) and Milo we get in primary school to encourage us to drink more milk. And when we had to line up just to get one cup, and some of us would line up again for another cup of cold Milo.
And remember we use to buy susu sekolah and get stomach-ache the next day. During primary (some KBSR & 3M) school days, the teacher will punish you using a long ruler to hit your palm.
A bowl of noodle soup cost only 20 cent in primary school days.
When you were in primary school, girls like to go to the bookshop to buy cute stuff such as animal erasers, sharpeners, notebook etc. Play with these paper doll... With all the paper clothes, etc...
In secondary (some KBSM) school, girls go to the library to borrow their favourite romance storybook. In secondary school, girls altered their school skirt to shorten it and guys will go to the school appointed school uniform tailor shop to tailor make their school trousers to the then fashionable "baggy pants", or the GQ one with all the 'batik' or buckle at the edge of the pocket! the straight cut jeans.. or codroy...
In secondary school days, you buy the Bata BM Turbo school shoes. Some guys like to wear those china made ankle high shoes. Some even like to wear those very thick socks with their school shoes. Remember the Panda, Carefree or Warrior shoes..
Internet? E-mail? What the hell is that? So you thought a decade or more ago. Your friends don't have pagers or handphones in school.
CDs? What's that? Cassette tapes were the norm.
Movie tickets used to cost less than RM5 last time. There is no KLCC. Pertama Complex or Bukit Bintang the only place we have.
The goodies from Mamak shop used to be Mamee, Kaka, Kum Kum, Ding Dang choco balls (with toys in the box) plus the Mat Sentul voices as a jingle, colourful hard "egg", "cigerette" chocolate, pink bottle of bubbles, and small tubes with yellow sticks to blow "more lasting" bubbles that you can pop more air in or slam it on.
You never forget 'Ti Kam'. When exams are over, the board games (eg: UNO, Monopoly, CLUEDO) & hand held video games will be all over the class room.
Girls will start playing 'batu seremban'. Guys with 'tudung botol oren'.
For it's the homemade ice cream man. The cream that tops Haagan Dazs! The pink colour ice-cream with eyes plus a wide smile.
Your favourite sound is the bell!
Another bell is the recess bell, a time to get away from school work and to eat.
Another time when there is no bell but all guys will anxiously wait for it... The PJ, PE time (time for football!)
Your favourite childhood games were playing "guli" (marbles), five stones, zero-point, catching, and/or "Pepsi-Cola one two three"! The best thirst quencher of all times is the yummy colourful ice tubes you can buy from provision shops. To eat them, break the tab and suck while holding the freezing tube!
All gals had barbie dolls, My Little Pony, pound puppy, Polly Pocket and etc, while all boys had star wars figurines or a rubber band catapult that shoots folded paper or eraser bits.
Once was the era whereby ice-cream sticks were valueable items, than came the paper aircrafts, chalk fights.
Everyone envied the class monitor and his assitant, coz they were the ones who came up with the daily duty roster, giving names to teacher on who makes the most noise and who's running around the class.
The elite group are the prefects, the one with license to move around, they consider themselves above the law when not many students actually listened to them, and that's when the PK HEM comes in.
Some boys made their own guns from wood, and used 'Bacali' as the bullets. Some even used matches to shoot and burn kid's lanterns during Latern Festival.
And you also rather to 'ponteng sekolah' just to watch final episod of Moero Attack... Miss that much... Summersault Berkembar... He he he... Still remember this one...

China Poisoned Milk & MELAMINE
What really is poisoned milk?
It is the milk powder mixed with 'MELAMINE'
What is Melamine use for?
It is an industrial chemical Use in the production of melawares.
It is also used in home decoration.
'US resistant board'
1. Do you understand?
Melamine is use in industrial production, it cannot be eaten!
2. Why is Melamine added in milk powder?
The most important nutrient in milk is protein. And Melamine has the same protein that contains 'NITROGEN'
Adding Melamine in milk reduces milk content and it is cheaper then milk so it lowers capitalization. It can give the business man more profit!.
Below is Melamine, doesn't it look like milk?
It doesn't have any smell, so cannot be detected.
3. When was it discovered?
Year 2007, US cats and dogs died suddenly, they found that pet food from China contains Melamine.
Starting 2008, In China, an abnormal increase In infant cases of kidney stones.
August 2008, China Sanlu Milk Powder tested With Melamine.
Sept. 2008, New Zealand gov't ask China to check this problem.
Sept. 21, 2008,Lots of food products in Taiwan tested with Melamine.
4. What happens when Melamine is digested?
Melamine remains inside the kidney. It forms into stones Blocking the tubes. Pain will be eminent and person cannot urinate. Kidney will then swell.
Although surgery can remove the stones, but it will cause irreversible kidney damage. It can lead to loss of kidney function and will require Kidney dialysis or lead to death because of uremia.
What is dialysis?
In fact, it should be called 'blood washing'. It is filtering all of the body's blood into the machine and then go back to the body.
The whole process takes 4 hours and it is necessary to dialysis once for every 3 days for the rest of your life.
Here is a dialysis center.
Large dialysis center.
A small hole is required in the arm to insert the Sub-dialysis catheter.
Why is it more serious in babies. Because the kidney is very small and they drink a lot of milk powder.
Here is a baby undergoing dialysis.
China currenty has 13,000 infants hospitalized.
It does not matter how much a human being took Melamine. The important point is 'It cannot be EATEN!'
5. What are the foods to be avoided?
Foods that contain dairy products should be avoided.
Remember: Foods with creamer or milk should Be avoided.
6. Which companies are affected?
Hereunder are the companies affected with Melamine.
7. What do we do next?
Avoid the above foods for at least six months.
If you have snack bar, restaurant or coffee shops. Stop selling dairy products for the meantime.
If you have infants at home, change to mother's milk Or find other substitutes.

Colloquium on Maths and Science in English
THE teaching of Mathematics and Science in English remains a much-debated issue among Malaysians, even five years after its implementation.
In view of this, the Malaysian English Language Teaching Association (Melta) will be hosting a one-day National Colloquium on the Teaching of Mathematics and Science in English on 11th December 2007, from 9am to 6pm, at the Palace of the Golden Horses, Kuala Lumpur.
Through this national colloquium, Melta hopes to bring together officers from the Education Ministry, teachers, the press, publishers, corporate leaders, non-government organisations, members from teacher training institutions, universities, professional organisations and the public to discuss and deliberate on the issues and challenges facing the teaching of Maths and Science in English.
About 200 participants are expected to attend the colloquium.
The event is aimed at creating awareness among Malaysians of the Government's efforts in relation to the teaching of Maths and Science in English and identifying strengths and challenges.
Other aims include suggesting possible measures to meet these challenges, addressingfuture directions, and creating networking opportunities among stakeholders to share knowledge and resources.
Among the topics that will be discussed are the viability and necessity for the continued teaching of Maths and Science in English, and the strategies and methodologies that need to be instituted if the two subjects are to be taught in the English language.
A comprehensive report based on the keynote address, papers and roundtable discussions will be compiled and presented to the Education Ministry.
Participation is by invitation. Those interested in attending the colloquium can contact Melta at 03-8944 1027 or e-mail: melta@tm.net.my . The Star is the media sponsor for the colloquium.

Their Degree Not Recognised?
Some 300 non-graduate teachers who pursued distance learning at the Open University of Malaysia may see up to RM6 million going down the drain.
They have been told that the degrees obtained in information technology were not recognised by the Education Ministry.National Union of the Teaching Profession (NUTP) secretary-general Lok Yim Pheng said they could not be promoted to the DG41 graduate salary scale.
She said they had been told this in no uncertain terms by the ministry’s Teacher Education Division. She said the teachers had claimed that they were misled into believing that the degrees would be recognised by the Public Service Department (PSD).
"The PSD offer to the teachers shows that the degree was recognised by the PSD and the government," she said after meeting 100 Perlis NUTP members at Sekolah Kebangsaan Arau.The NUTP, which has received complaints about the problem from affected teachers, is urging the ministry to lend a helping hand to those affected.
Lok said a working paper would be submitted to the Teachers’ Education Division on why the degrees should be recognised."Many teachers had spent up to RM20,000 each on their degrees, but the teacher education division said that their degrees were not recognised. "This is serious as many teachers are involved.
"The Open University uses the quality, prestige and capabilities of its owners — a consortium of 11 public universities. It was incorporated as a private university under the Private Higher Education Institutions Act 1996.
