Student Dilemma!!


A common sight nowadays, a small student carrying a huge load of books on his/her way to school. Are we getting more educated or more information?

At best, I.Q. contributes 20% to the factors that determine life's success, which leaves 80% to other factor, Emotional Intelligence(E.Q.)

Studies have shown there was very little correlation between a child's success in exam and his/her success in adult life.

In exam, no matter how much knowledge the student has, if he cannot put it all down on paper within a certain time limit, he may get an "F".

If I was given an option by god to be whether excellent in study or job, I strongly choose job..Pandai kerja lg bgus drpd pndai belajar tp tak tau pe, lg bgus dpt dua2,hehe.

Moral of the story, jd lah kita pakar dlm bidang masing2, any sort of knowledge..
Pakar buat roti canai, menyapu,pekebun, pemandu, even buruh skalipun, kalo pakar and cekap, confirm EXCELLENT!!

"O Allah, fill my heart with the serenity of faith. Make me one who is guided aright and guides others aright. Do not misguide me and do not make me misguided others aright. May it be pleasing to you to put my feet firm upon the the straight path. Amin Ya Rabb..

HEALTH

Kidney’s Many Roles:

1. Cleaning the blood-Everyday, our kidneys filter out about 2 quarts (1.89 L) of waste products and extra water from about 200 quarts (189 L) of blood.

2. Balancing water volume-depending on body size, adults generally have around 7-8L of blood in the body.

3. Producing red blood cells- The kidney produces a hormone called ‘erythropoietin’ (EPO), which promotes the formation of red blood cells in bone marrow when the certain cells in the kidney detects there is sudden changes in oxygen levels in the blood.

4. Regulating blood pressure.

5. Preserving bone strength-Healthy kidneys produce a type of vitamin D known as calcitriol. Calcitriol is an active form of vitamin D that promotes calcium absorption from food into blood and bones. It works with the parathyroid hormone to maintain a normal balance of calcium in the body. Hypertension is a major risk factor for chronic kidney diseases.

When Kidneys Fail Completely…

End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is when the kidneys fail to function. But, there are treatment options available. If a person’s kidneys stop working completely, the body fills up with extra water and waste products. This condition is called uraemia. Hands or feet may swell, and the person will feel tired and weak because the body needs clean blood to function properly.

Treatment?

1. Dialysis- There are 2 major types of dialysis:

a. Haemodialysis- uses a special filter called a dialyser that functions as an artificial kidney to clean the blood. The dialyser is a canister connected to a haemodialysis machine. Take about 3-4 hours each time.

b. Peritoneal Dialysis(PD)-A dialysis solution is introduced into the abdomen to capture waste products from blood. After a few hours, the fluid is drained through a catheter. A fresh bag of fluid is then dripped into the abdomen to continue the cleansing process.

*Continuous Ambulatory PD-patients are required to change the fluid 4x a day.

*Continuous Cycling PD-can be performed at night with a machine that drains and refills the abdomen automatically.

2. Transplantation- A denoted kidney may come from an anonymous or known person who recently died or from a living person, usually a relative. The kidney must be a good match for the patient’s body. The more the new kidney matches that of the person receiving it, the less likely the immune system will be rejected.

Al- Fatihah

In the name of God, the infinitely Compassionate and Merciful. Praise be to God, Lord of all the worlds. The Compassionate, the Merciful, Ruler on the Day of Reckoning. You alone do we worship, and You alone do we ask for help. Guide us on the straight path, the path of those who received your grace; not the path of those who have brought down wrath, nor of those who wander astray. Amen.
