This dictionary provides full coverage of all the important terms and concepts used in medicine today. Written by distinguished practicing specialists and medical writers, it is intended primarily for workers in the paramedical fields: pharmacists, physiotherapists, speech therapists, social workers, hospital secretaries, administrators, technicians, and so on. It will also be invaluable for medical students and practicing doctors. Each entry contains a basic definition, followed- where appropriate- by a more detailed explanation or description. A feature of the dictionary is that the articles are written in clear and concise English without the use of unnecessary technical jargon. For this reason the book will also be of both interest and value to the general reader who needs a home medical dictionary.

The dictionary defines terms in anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and pharmacology, as well as in all major medical and surgical specialties. Its coverage of psychology and psychiatry, public health medicine and dentistry is unusually comprehensive, and this edition includes many new entries covering the latest developments in diagnostic radiology and radiotherapy, endocrinology, pediatrics, and urology, as well as the other medical surgical specialties. Key terms in the developing speciality of advanced life support systems have also been added as new entries. Entries for many new drugs have been included, and drug names have been revised in accordance with the recently implemented EC directive on the use of recommended International Non-Proprietary Names (rINNs); where these differ from names commonly used in Britain, the letter are included both as synonyms for the rINNs and as cross-reference entries.

Don’t work our doctors to death


DOCTORS hold one of the most noble jobs in the world but it is known that doctors in Malaysia are not treated well enough.
They need to work seven days a week and rarely get any public holiday.
When they are on call, they need to stay alert throughout the night. Can anyone imagine having to work through the night and continue working the next day?
Not even night shift workers work for 36 hours straight like some doctors do. The pay of a doctor is not as high as is expected as they only get between RM3,000 and RM4,000. Other than that, doctors are constantly yelled at by their seniors during their housemanship.
Although most doctors choose the profession to help the sick, the bad treatment they get often makes them neglect their duties.
All in all, Malaysia should truly appreciate their talented doctors and not work them to death.
Doctors should be given regular holidays as they have to work hard when they are on call. Those who do not know the real job of a doctor may think that it is easy. On the contrary, it is truly challenging.




my comment: whooaaa....
when young generation speak up and express their thought... no one can say anything, because it is almost true.

Melengah katarak - Delaying cataract

 

Memakai cermin mata hitam dan topi untuk melindungi sinar ultra ungu matahari boleh melambatkan kemungkinan seseorang mendapat penyakit katarak.

 

“SAMA ada berlaku pada sebelah mata atau kedua-duanya, katarak disebabkan oleh kekaburan yang berlaku pada lensa dalam mata hingga menjejaskan upaya penglihatan.

“Kebanyakan kes katarak berhubung kait dengan faktor peningkatan usia,” ujar Pengerusi Persatuan Oftamologikal Malaysia, Prof. Dr. Che Muhaya Mohamad.

Jelas beliau, walaupun kebanyakan kes komplikasi penglihatan ini berkait rapat dengan usia, terdapat empat lagi jenis katarak yang tercatat dalam rekod perubatan.



Keempat-empat jenis itu ialah katarak sekunder (terjadi selepas pembedahan masalah mata lain), katarak traumatik (akibat kecederaan), katarak kongenital (katarak sejak dilahirkan atau terbentuk ketika usia kanak-kanak), serta katarak radiasi (pendedahan kepada radiasi).

“Secara teorinya ia bermula daripada perubahan yang terjadi pada lensa di belakang iris dan pupil. Lensa itu berfungsi sama seperti lensa kamera.

Kongenital katarak yang berlaku kepada kanak-kanak disebabkan jangkitan kuman seperti rubella


“Ia memfokuskan cahaya ke atas retina di belakang mata untuk rakaman imej. Lensa ini bertindak menyelaras tumpuan mata supaya kita boleh melihat objek yang dekat mahupun yang jauh,” terang Che Muhaya.

Lensa yang terbentuk daripada komposisi cecair dan protein itu malangnya boleh terjejas fungsinya seiring dengan usia.

Protein yang sepatutnya bertujuan mencerahkan lensa dan membenarkan cahaya menembusinya itu boleh terkumpul secara berlebihan dan mengkaburkan permukaan lensa.

“Ketika inilah katarak bermula. Keadaan kabur itu boleh membesar dan bertambah buruk hingga membuatkan daya penglihatan seseorang bermasalah,” terang Che Muhaya yang tidak menolak kemungkinan penyakit diabetes dan tabiat merokok sebagai penyumbang katarak.

Selain pengumpulan protein, penglihatan terjejas apabila lensa yang jernih perlahan-lahan bertukar menjadi warna kekuningan atau keperangan.

“Lensa yang berubah warna itu membuatkan penglihatan dipengaruhi ton warna keperangan.

“Semakin lama permukaan lensa yang terjejas itu menyukarkan upaya seseorang melakukan aktiviti harian seperti membaca, memandu dan mengecam wajah,” ujar Che Muhaya.

Jika ada pendapat yang mengatakan bahawa katarak merupakan penyakit untuk warga tua, fikirkan semula. Istilah ‘penyakit mata berkaitan peningkatan usia’ itu sendiri suatu yang mengelirukan.

Sebenarnya, seseorang yang mendapat katarak tidak semestinya berusia lebih 60 tahun, sebaliknya sudah banyak kes yang dilaporkan berlaku di kalangan mereka yang berumur dalam lingkungan 40-an dan 50-an.

“Hanya dengan memakai cermin mata hitam ataupun topi dapat menghalang sinar ultra ungu matahari daripada menjejaskan mata, seterusnya melambatkan kemungkinan mendapat katarak.

“Kalau anda merokok, berhentilah,” kata Che Muhaya yang turut mengesyorkan pengambilan nutrisi yang baik seperti sayuran berdaun hijau, buah-buahan serta sumber makanan lain yang mengandungi agen antioksida.

Pesan beliau kepada mereka yang berusia 60 tahun ke atas: Jalani pemeriksaan mata komprehensif sekurang-kurangnya setahun sekali.

Selain dapat mengenal pasti petanda penyakit mata lain, rawatan awal bagi sebarang jenis komplikasi mata akibat usia boleh menyelamatkan deria yang penting itu.
