Virus Varicella-Zoster dalam diriku

Cacar air (atau istilah yang popularnya Chicken Pox) ialah penyakit merebak akibat jangkitan virus varicella-zoster (satu daripada keluarga virus herpes). Penyakit ini biasanya dijangkiti oleh kanak-kanak dan mereka akan pulih.

Cacar air adalah di antara penyakit yang cukup ‘klasik’ paling mudah berjangkit. Apabila cacar air menyerang, badan dan muka pesakit dipenuhi repuh iaitu bengkak kecil mengandungi cecair yang boleh pecah dan berkeruping. Memang kasihan melihat pesakit terutama kanak-kanak diserang cacar air kerana mereka menderita kegatalan. Cacar air tidak boleh dirawat dengan antibiotik. Rawatan biasanya diberi untuk meredakan gejala penyakit.

Seringkali kita bertanya-tanya bagaimana kalau sampai usia dewasa belum terkena penyakit cacar air?

Menurut Pakar Perubata, gejala yang dialami pada orang dewasa lebih parah daripada pada masa kanak-kanak. Demam yang dialami lebih parah dan berlangsung lebih lama, sakit kepala serta lukanya lebih berat serta bekas luka yang ditinggalkan akan lebih dalam. Kalau pada anak-anak kebanyakan komplikasi hanya berupa infeksi varisela pada kulit, pada orang dewasa kemungkinan terjadinya komplikasi berupa radang paru-paru atau pneumonia 10 - 25 lebih tinggi daripada pada anak. Perokok dikatakan berisiko pneumonia lebih tinggi dibanding yang bukan perokok. Komplikasi yang berlaku berupaya menyebabkan radang otak, radang sumsum tulang, kegagalan hati, hepatitis serta sindrom Reye (Gangguan pada sistem otak dan hati).

Yang lebih dikhuatirkan adalah virus ini akan tinggal di dalam tubuh penderita selama bertahun-tahun. Pada saat daya tahan tubuh penderita melemah, muncullah infeksi sekunder dalam bentuk penyakit herpes zoster atau ruam saraf yang nyeri dan menular. Herpes zoster ini timbul dalam bentuk ruam memanjang pada bahagian tubuh kanan saja atau kiri saja.

Oleh kerana cacar air mudah berjangkit, individu yang diserang perlu berehat di rumah bagi mengelak menjangkiti kanak-kanak lain di pusat jagaan harian.

Virus cacar air boleh merebak secara langsung melalui sentuhan (menyentuh invidu yang diserang cacar air) atau tidak langsung iaitu daripada percikan air liur yang terapung di udara apabila pesakit batuk.


Tanda paling biasa apabila diserang cacar air ialah demam dan ruam. Virus varisela paling mudah berjangkit dalam tempoh satu atau dua hari sebelum badan ditumbuhi ruam sehingga semua repuh benar-benar kering.


Tanda dan gejala

1. Demam.

2. Penat.

3. Tidak selesa.

4. Sangat gatal.

5. Ruam (biasanya ruam bermula di dada, belakang badan dan muka serta boleh merebak ke bahagian badan lain, termasuk mulut. Pada awalnya ruam ini kelihatan seperti jerawat kecil dan boleh membesar menjadi repuh yang dipenuhi cecair).


Badan pesakit biasanya ditumbuhi ruam dalam tempoh 10 hingga 21 hari selepas dia terdedah kepada seseorang yang menghidap cacar air.

Jarak masa sebelum sebarang gejala muncul dipanggil tempoh inkubasi iaitu masa yang diambil virus untuk ‘membiak’.

Apabila seseorang individu mula ditumbuhi ruam, maknanya di dalam badannya ada banyak virus varisela yang bersedia menjangkiti orang lain pada bila-bila masa sehingga semua gejala cacar air hilang.

Oleh kerana cacar air disebabkan jangkitan virus, pesakit tidak diberi antibiotik (antibiotik untuk membunuh bakteria). Doktor memberi ubat dan krim sapu untuk meredakan gejala penyakit dan mengawal rasa gatal akibat ruam.

Banyak jenis ubat dan krim di farmasi boleh digunakan untuk mengurangkan penderitaan ketika penyakit ini melanda.

Doktor akan memberi ubat anti virus jika jangkitan menjadi serius atau kanak-kanak turut mengalami masalah kesihatan lain.


Penjagaan di rumah

Biasanya apabila sakit, pesakit akan hilang selera makan dan sukar untuk menyuruh mereka minum dan makan. Suruh mereka minum sedikit tetapi kerap. Jika masih tidak berjaya, jadikan minuman dalam bentuk ketulan ais kecil.

Selain itu masakkan sup atau makanan berkuah lain untuk mengelak mereka mengalami masalah kekeringan dan mengawal suhu badan.

Anda boleh beri parasetamol untuk menenangkannya. Jangan pakaikan terlalu banyak pakaian kerana kepanasan membuatkan mereka berasa lebih gatal.

Biar pesakit berehat di rumah sehingga repuh dialaminya kering. Kulit repuh yang menggelupas tidak berbahaya dan tidak menjangkiti orang lain.

Beritahu pihak yang terbabt bahawa anda mendapat cacar air. Ini kerana mungkin ada individu lain mungkin mendapat jangkitan, memerlukan rawatan atau suntikan imunisasi.

Sebaik-baiknya asingkan pesakit yang diserang cacar air dengan ahli keluarga lain, terutama dalam tempoh penyakit paling mudah berjangkit.

Perkara ini penting jika di rumah ada:

1. Pesakit yang alami masalah sistem imun (termasuk yang menerima rawatan kemoterapi dan baru menjalani pembedahan pemindahan organ).

2. Pesakit yang mengambil ubat steroid dalam jangka masa lama.

3. Bayi dan wanita hamil yang tidak pernah menghidap cacar air.

4. Pesakit mempunyai adik yang masih kecil dan tidak pernah mendapat cacar air.

Ingatan khas

1. Individu yang ada masalah kulit seperti ekzema juga perlu mendapatkan nasihat doktor jika penyakit menyerang kembali. Jika mengalami cacar air, biasanya ia lebih teruk berbanding orang lain.

2. Jangan beri aspirin pada kanak-kanak yang diserang cacar air. Ubat yang boleh diberi kepada mereka ialah parasetamol, bukan aspirin.


Perlindungan

Walaupun komplikasi cacar air rendah, virus varisela antara penyumbang utama kepada kemasukan ke hospital dan kematian.

Cacar air boleh dicegah melalui vaksin. Antara kesan sampingan vaksin ialah demam sedikit, reaksi setempat di tempat suntikan dan ruam

Transkrip Sidang Media Abdul Razak Baginda

Abdul Razak BagindaLET me say firstly, Alhamdullilah, all praise to Allah SWT, the most compassionate, most gracious and most merciful, that I am here today, amongst you, as a free man.

I have spent the last 22 months in prison and it was the guidance of Allah SWT, my firm belief in my innocence and the support given by my family and close friends, that have helped me through what I would describe as the most stressful, anxious and sad period of my 48 years of existence.

Every Saturday, without fail, my family would come and visit me, during the allowed weekly visitation. A total of well over 100 times they turned up and their visit was the highlight of my week. I have been most fortunate.

It is perhaps human nature that when someone is in trouble, people shy away. I expected this and true enough, this human nature never fails. I spent two Hari Rayas in prison. Prior to my imprisonment, during the Raya season, I would receive hundreds of cards. For the last two years, I received a total of no more than 20.

Obviously, to escape never crossed my mind, but I still escaped, for my mind was always free. My family, my close friends, my lawyers and my books have all aided my escape, for my mind was never incarcerated.

I would like to say thank you to my fellow inmates. They helped me to get through prison life for, among other things, they showed much kindness. I would like to take this opportunity to wish them the very best of luck.

No words will ever be enough to reflect or describe the ordeal that my family have had to endure these last two years. Ever since my arrest in November 2006, so much have been said by so many. Lies and baseless assumptions became the basis of so-called truth and the real truth has become irrelevant and lost in translation. It seems no one is interested anymore in knowing the truth. Some quarters have made concerted efforts to twist and turn the story into a reservoir of gibberish and garbage. The lies quickly overtook the truth.

I must admit I was rather shocked to see the extent of how my case has been wildly exaggerated and how the ignorant have taken centrestage and managed to pull the wool over the eyes of so many people. Many have jumped on the bandwagon of skullduggery. The innocents have become the victims while the liars are running supreme. People have become so gullible and they believe what they want to believe, irrespective of the truth.

I know that there will always be cynics and manipulators out there to ridicule and to falsely interpret what I say. I am caught in “the damned if you do and damned if you don't” situation. Some have advised me to say nothing as the effort will be futile. They argue that whatever I say would not make any difference as people will prefer to keep to their own interpretations, in spite of the truth. Even after the truth is revealed, such people will have their own explanations. It appears to be unwinnable.

However, I feel that if I do not brave myself and try to turn the tide in order to tell the truth, then I will be merely turning a blind eye and indeed allow the liars to prevail. To me, to be indifferent is to be irresponsible.

Members of the media, I implore all of you and the public to stop spreading lies about Datuk Seri Najib Razak, the DPM, and his wife. I know that Datuk Najib and his wife had never met the deceased. So much fitnah has been thrown towards the DPM and his wife. Those who have spread such lies can never produce any authentic evidence because simply there are none. The truth is the truth and nothing can change the truth.

I would like to say here once again, Alhamdulilah, syukur to Allah SWT for reaffirming and fortifying my innocence through the courts. I would like to emphasis that I did not commit any offence in respect of the deceased. Nevertheless I would like to express my deepest sympathies to the family of the deceased for their loss.


Najib has never met Altantuya, says Abdul Razak

The following are Abdul Razak's answers to questions from the press:

Whether he has had contact with Najib since his release:

"To be honest, I have not, neither has he. No, none whatsoever. I have not met him, not seen him, spoken to him, SMSed him, e-mailed him."

Asked to describe his relationship with Najib:

"The press, the media, the bloggers, the man in the street have described my relationship with Najib in all forms. From a close aide, a close friend, an associate, an advisor. In jest I would say, why don't you take your pick? My relationship with Najib has evolved over the years. There obviously was a professional relationship and this goes back as early as the 1990s. And having known him professionally I also got to know him personally."

Asked how he knows Najib had never met Altantuya:

"How do I know? It is like asking me... I know, OK?"

Will he still work with Najib:

"I have never had any formal relationship with Najib. At one point someone described me as his political secretary. I have never held any official position vis-a-vis the Prime, sorry, the Deputy Prime Minister. An aide is someone who holds an official position. Very much reminiscent of the US system where Osama, sorry, not Osama bin Laden, but Barack Obama, sounds quite similar, he will be selecting his secretaries and special assistants. I am never an aide. I have known him for quite a while. I'd like to say here that he will make a good Prime Minister. He is a well-read person, we have had countless of times talked about books, exchanged books. He is well tuned to what's going on in the world. Intellectually, in terms of experience, I think he has got all that. I am quite happy with my freedom at the moment. I do not want to be tied up with any appointment whatsoever not that it is coming."

On immediate plans:

"I am going to the UK as I was a student at Oxford. Two weeks before I was arrested, I submitted my doctoral dissertation to Oxford. When I was arrested the university placed my dissertation on hold. So I am going back to basically be examined. Insya-Allah I will get my doctorate next year."

Will he stay on in Britain and not come back:

"Why the hell should I run away? I am innocent. I have been acquitted by the courts, I wanna stay here, this is my home. I'll be back in a couple of months’ time, I just wanna get my doctorate, that's it. Unless I get a cushy job like Prime Minister of the UK."

On why he was implicated:

"You must appreciate that the main trial is on and civil proceedings by the family of the deceased who have taken a legal suit against the government of Malaysia plus myself and the two accused. I am not at liberty to elaborate on that."

On why there was a change of lawyers:

"I am flanked by lawyers and the legal profession has its own set of ethics and I don't think I should reveal any reason why, whether I like a person's face or not."

On why he cancelled his first press conference:

"It has nothing to do with my appeal. I was quite confident upon my release that I could face the outside world especially the press. But after a few days I found myself to be not ready. You have to be in prison for two years to know what I am saying. My mind is incoherent, I keep losing things. You can't lose things in prison because you don't have many things to begin with. These days I lose my glasses and now my daughter has gone back to the UK, I have one less person to help me look."

On his relationship with the deceased:

"There has been a lot of lies spread. For example, it came from a very reputable media. It was stated that I met her at a party. Where did that come from? On the SMSes between Najib and my former lawyer, I was in prison then. Sorry, the alleged SMSes because it was never proven. On this so-called SMSes, why don't you be a bit more critical and not take it at face value. When someone says intervention, everyone says intervention and jumps on the bandwagon. No one questions the validity of that. Let me remind you that I was charged, went to prison, waited for my trial, which went on for 151 days, I did not see my family, did not touch them until court started. I went through all that, how can there be any interference if I went through all that, God almighty, come on."

Who are the liars:

"I don't want to be specific. All I want to say is, for the last two years, I didn't realise the extent of the reach of the so-called borderless world, the Internet world and how bloggers have taken, almost centrestage. The last two weeks I checked with my friends abroad, and they said there was a period in British society where bloggers ran supreme but after a while, everyone realised that bloggers are bloggers. I can start a blog and say anything with impunity. The phase will go away, people will say, bloggers, my God. My daughter or my taxi man can be a blogger if he can write well and he can manufacture facts. They are out there."

Will he take action against the media:

"I never made any comment until today. I have kept silent from the day I was arrested until today. I never said I would take any legal action."

Whether the photo of him, Najib and Altantuya together is genuine:

"I was investigated by the Multimedia Commission and I was shown the photograph. You must be a real idiot or moron to believe the photo is authentic. To begin with the girl is not even the deceased. So if any of you believe the photograph, God, you guys have been taken for a ride."

On the link to the submarine deal:

"There is no linkage whatsoever. Let me tell you about the timeframe. But everyone is lazy because no one checked the facts. The deal, the purported deal was signed in June 2002. I first met the deceased, November or December 2004. I just fail to see the connection yet it went on and on and on."

Will he write a book on his experience:

"The problem is if I say yes, you will be hounding me for it."

Why he was always smiling in court:

"I am innocent. At some point I said, God willing, I will be released. I cannot imagine an innocent man can be found guilty. I was worried because there was talk of pandering to the public, the media. But I went through the court system. People tend to forget I spent 22 months in jail. I regard myself as lucky actually. I think in a person's life I always believe something bad will happen to you but God has given me a better option than death. Imprisonment is a better option than death simply because I had a chance to reflect on my life."

Would he apologise to the family of the deceased:

"I never knew the family of the deceased. I have already expressed publicly my sympathy to the family."

What he has been doing the past three weeks since his release:

"To begin with, I have been eating a helluva lot, so I have been putting on a lot of weight. For 22 months I have not done anything really. Suddenly for three weeks I have to do so many things. In prison, everything is regimented. When I'm out, I am thinking I don't have much time, but I do have time, so I am adjusting myself. Not too well, I'm afraid, I'm still eating too much."

Where he met Altantuya:

"There is a death, and it doesn't make any difference where I met her. All I wanted to say in my statement was that Najib never met the woman. From there whoever said whatever, they are all lies."

Is he a victim of a political game:

"I don't sense that at all. What has happened is I was caught in the system, I went through the system and I am glad I survived the system. My wife reminds me, the system has put you in, the system will get you out."

What he would do if he was Altantuya's father:

"I can't be someone else. I can't think what he thinks or what you are thinking. He can do whatever he wants to do, I can do whatever I want to do, you can do whatever you want to do."

Has his reputation been unjustly damaged:

"Thank you very much, I didn't realise I had a reputation before I entered prison. I constantly remind myself that I want to close one chapter of my life and open the next chapter. The sooner I get on with my life the better. I just want to move forward not look back."

Court of public opinion believing he is still implicated:

"I can't really be responsible for that. When you say public opinion I really wonder who you have in mind. When you talk about people's power, you look at Thailand, you say, wow the people are against the government. A hundred thousand, 500,000, the media blows it out of proportion. But hang on a minute, is that democracy? If you talk about 500 people going out in the streets as opposed to a population of 100 million is that reflective of democracy? If I have money and pay everyone RM10 and get 100,000 people out today in the streets and protest against the government is that people's power? Is that public opinion? Blimey, that's not public opinion, that's just manipulation. So you talk about public opinion as if it is a coherent, consistent consensus and I don't think there is a consensus. So I don't want to pander to the so-called public opinion and I'd like to ask you who is the public opinion? Can a blogger reflect the public opinion? Blimey, if that is the case, I can run you down as well, mate, and say this is the public opinion. If we descend to a level where a taxi driver, for example, someone who doesn't know the facts, writes, and that becomes public opinion then I feel sorry for society. Just one individual, two individuals, one blogger, two bloggers can form an opinion and that becomes public opinion? Come on, give me a break."

Is he blaming Raja Petra Kamarudin:

"I wouldn't say any particular blogger. The whole idea that bloggers or so-called opinion-makers can form an opinion and that becomes the truth. That worries me. If bloggers can become the source of truth then we are in trouble as a society. Can you imagine enemies of the state using blogs to erode confidence, for example. You are talking about something even far more sinister. If a concerted effort is made towards the state, the government, the people, then we are in trouble. But in more developed societies, they have gone through the phase we are going through and after awhile they will say, let's not worry about them."

Will speculation stop after today:

"Even my press statement today there will be twist and turns. If I hold this up and say this is a tape recorder, and it is reported that Razak held a gun, I can't be responsible for that. What can I do? I just want to tell the truth and that's the truth.”

People's reaction after he was released:

"To my surprise, a lot of people wished me the best, some actually said congratulations, total strangers came up to me and say we are happy that you are out. I actually thought I was going to be a leper and everyone is going to shy away from me. Of course, when I walk around people were whispering and all that, but that's quite obvious."

Final word on bloggers:

"More often when you read bloggers. They do not base their writing on fact. It's a lot of hearsay. This person told me this, that person told me this, a little bird told me this, rather than I was there, I saw this, I did this. Let's be a bit more critical in what we read and don't accept things verbatim. If you don't then you can also write the same thing and tell lies on others. In fact, I was so surprised that it is so easy to tell lies on the Internet.”

Buku Baru Yang MESTI Dimiliki


Anak Ayah

Sebatang tubuh itu sedang berhempas pulas bertempur dengan sakaratul maut, selepas sembilan bulan mengandungkan zuriat. Kesakitan itu menyirap ke setiap urat tubuh badan yang basah bermandikan peluh. “Mengucap Mek,” tegur Mak Bidan yang dari tadi kelihatan begitu tenang. Dari jauh kelihatan Nik Mat terkumat-kamit mulutnya, membacakan doa supaya terhindar sebarang bencana. Meskipun ini anak yang kedua, namun debaran menanti kelahirannya cukup kuat terasa.

Ternyata kelahiran itu dinantikan oleh Nik Mat yang begitu bercita-cita mahukan seorang putera dilahirkan di tengah-tengah keluarganya. Putera itu bakal menyambung segala usaha dan cita-citanya. Doa kesyukuran dipanjatkan kepada Yang Maha Esa atas kurniaan-Nya. Tidak putus-putus lafaz alhamdulillah diucapkan oleh Nik Mat, lantas dipanjangkan dengan solat sunat, bersyukur atas nikmat yang diberikan-Nya.

Anak itu bererti rezeki dan beroleh rezeki, maka kita mesti bersyukur kepada pemberi-Nya. Azan dilaungkan di telinga kanan putera. Anak itu diusap dan dikucup lalu diberikan nama Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat.

_________

Sebuah buku mengenai perjalanan hidup seorang tokoh ulama dan pemimpin Malaysia yang disegani, Tuan Guru Dato’ Nik Abd. Aziz Haji Nik Mat. Beliau bukan sahaja seorang tokoh pemimpin politik bahkan pemimpin ulung nusantara yang menjadikan Islam sebagai teras kepada perjuangannya menegakkan Sistem Pentadbiran Islam.

Buku ini mengupas mengenai sejarah beliau bermula daripada akar salasilah keturunannya. Siapa tahu, daripada salasilahnya beliau mempunyai darah seorang pemimpin. Buku ini juga mengupas proses pendidikan yang dilalui oleh tokoh ini sehingga personaliti dan jatidirinya berjaya dibentuk dengan kekuatan luar biasa walaupun dalam tubuh yang sederhana sahaja.

Selain itu, buku ini juga memperincikan 10 asas pentadbiran dan kepimpinan berteraskan sunah kepimpinan Nabi Muhammad yang digunakan oleh tokoh ini dalam organisasinya. Selain daripada itu, buku ini juga memuatkan pandangan serta kritikan daripada pelbagai lapisan masyarakat mengenai kepimpinan beliau. Sedar ataupun tidak, bukan hanya muslim yang mengkagumi tokoh ini, bahkan masyarakat bukan Islam juga begitu.

Adios!


Bukan PATI tapi LATI (Lembu Asing Tanpa Izin)


RANTAU PANJANG - Pasukan Gerakan Am (PGA) dan Kastam berjaya merampas 61 ekor lembu dan mercun bernilai RM500,000 dalam dua kejadian berasingan semalam.

Dalam operasi yang dijalankan di Kampung Tasik Berangan di sini, PGA berjaya merampas kesemua lembu berkenaan yang dikurung dalam kandang di kampung tersebut dan ia dipercayai diseludup dari negara jiran (Thailand).


Pegawai Pemerintah Batalion Kesembilan, Superintenden Kamaruddin Yussof berkata, rampasan dibuat kira-kira jam 5 petang oleh sepasukan anggota setelah menerima maklumat dari orang ramai.

Setelah membuat pemantauan beberapa di kawasan itu kami mendapati semua lembu ini tidak mempunyai dokumen yang sah,” katanya ketika ditemui pemberita di sini, semalam.

Menurutnya, siasatan awal mendapati lembu-lembu yang dianggar bernilai RM1,500 setiap ekor tidak mempunyai dokumen yang sah dan dipercayai di seludup dari Thailand.

Beliau berkata, pihaknya telah menyerahkan lembu-lembu itu kepada Jabatan Perkhidmatan Veterinar untuk tindakan lanjut termasuk mendakwa pihak terbabit jika mempunyai bukti.

Sementara itu, dalam operasi yang dijalankan Kastam Bukit Bunga pula berjaya menumpaskan cubaan seludup mercun yang dianggarkan bernilai setengah juta itu di Kampung Pasir Dusun.

Menurut Pengarah Kastam Negeri, Azis Yacub, rampasan dibuat atas maklumat awam dan anggota yang memerhatikan aktiviti berkenaan di Pengkalan Haram Kampung Perawas, Jeli.

“Kita menahan sebuah lori setelah mendapat maklumat mengenai kenderaan tersebut membawa muatan mercun dan anggota kastam terpaksa mengejar kenderaan penyeludup itu berikutan mereka menyedari kehadiran kami,” katanya.

Menurutnya, setelah berjaya memintas lori tersebut, hasil pemeriksaan dilakukan mendapati pelbagai jenis mercun dipercayai untuk pasaran tempatan ditemui, bagaimanapun pemandu lori terbabit berjaya melarikan diri dengan bersembunyi dalam kawasan hutan berhampiran.

Katanya, sebanyak 275 kotak mercun dan bunga api pelbagai jenis dengan nilai keseluruhan dianggarkan bernilai hampir setengah juta ringgit termasuk lori yang dirampas.

Azis berkata, lori bersama muatan rampasan itu kemudiannya dibawa ke pejabat kastam bahagian pencegahan Rantau Panjang untuk tindakan lanjut.
