Bell's Palsy

Assalamualaikum.

Here I got something to share about Bell's Palsy. first time I heard about it is about 2 months ago when my father complained that his left face can't move normally (mata susah kerdip, senyum senget sebelah dn kening susah angkat). I thought that ayah kene Stroke. bile jumpa doctor he said that it's just stroke kecik and ayah ade Hypertesion sikit (systole 153 mmhg). About 2 or 3 weeks after baru ayah sihat. alhamdulillah. tp, pemakanan dn persekitaran perlu dijaga.

Suddenly, sehari sebelum mak meninggal, my sister's face, Yam, senget at the right side. so weird. then the doctor said that, dia jugak kene Bell's Palsy. and now, dah dekat 1 bulan setengah, she's not recovered yet. she took some medicine and make physiotherapy everyday. Alhamdulillah, now she can move a little bit her eyebrow and lips. Ikhtiar. Tawakkal. Itu sahaja mampu. Allah is the only One who has the curative power. 

Here it is. Wikipedia .

What Is Bell's Palsy?

Bell's palsy is a temporary weakness or paralysis of the muscles on one side of the face. These muscles are controlled by the facial nerve. Because there's a facial nerve on each side of a person's face, and Bell's palsy usually affects just one nerve, people with Bell's palsy will most likely notice stiffness or weakness on one side of the face.
When the facial nerve is working properly, it carries a host of messages from the brain to the face. These messages may tell an eyelid to close, one side of the mouth to smile or frown, or salivary glands to make spit. Facial nerves also help our bodies make tears and taste favorite foods. But if the nerve swells and is compressed, as happens with Bell's palsy, these messages don't get sent correctly. The result is weakness or temporary paralysis of the muscles on one side of the face.

What Causes It?

Bell's palsy is most often connected with a viral infection such as herpes (the virus that causes cold sores), Epstein-Barr (the virus that causes mono), or influenza (the flu). It's also associated with the infectious agent that causes Lyme disease. Of course, this doesn't mean that everyone who has a viral infection or Lyme disease will develop Bell's palsy — most people don't. But in a few people, the immune system's response to a viral infection leads to inflammation of the nerve. Because it's swollen, the nerve gets compressed as it passes through a small hole at the base of the skull, which causes the symptoms of Bell's palsy.
Bell's palsy can affect people of all ages, but it is most common in adults. People with diabetes and pregnant women are more likely to develop Bell's palsy.

What Are the Signs and Symptoms?

The symptoms of Bell's palsy usually show up about 1 to 2 weeks after a viral infection. The symptoms tend to come on quickly — usually Bell's palsy reaches its worst point within 48 hours. A few hours or days before Bell's palsy develops fully, some people may have a headache or feel pain behind or in front of their ears. A person may notice one side of his or her face droops or feels stiff. Some people may only notice a slight weakness, whereas others may not be able to move that side of their face at all.
Other symptoms of Bell's palsy include:

• difficulty closing one eye all the way
• dryness in one eye
• trouble tasting at the front of the tongue on the affected side
• changes in the amount of saliva or drooling
• hearing sounds that seem louder than usual in one ear

Bell's palsy affects only the face, so if a person has weakness or symptoms in other parts of the body, the problem has another cause.

MPM gesa teliti 500 pelajar di Mesir tak dapat biasiswa

2010/09/20

KUALA LUMPUR: Majlis Perundingan Melayu (MPM) menggesa kerajaan meneliti semula mengapa seramai 500 pelajar Melayu yang mengikuti pengajian dalam beberapa bidang kritikal terutama perubatan dan farmasi di Mesir tidak diberikan biasiswa.

Setiausaha Agung MPM, Dr Hasan Mad, berkata perkara itu sudah dibawa kepada pengetahuan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Razak oleh Datuk Ibrahim Ali yang juga Pengerusi Kongres Bumiputera 29 Mei lalu, tetapi masih tidak dapat ditangani dengan sebaiknya. Katanya, ketika ini kesemua pelajar terbabit menggunakan pembiayaan sendiri bagi tahun pertama yang kosnya mencecah RM90,000 dan jika pelajar berkenaan masih gagal mendapatkan biasiswa dan tajaan mereka terpaksa berhenti dari pengajian dan pulang semula ke tanah air. Kami difahamkan perkara itu sudah diambil tindakan oleh pihak berkenaan, tetapi daripada maklum balas yang kami terima hanya seorang dua saja dianugerahkan pembiayaan dan kami mempunyai senarai pelajar sebahagian besar yang belum mendapat pembiayaan pelajaran dan perlu dibantu, katanya kepada pemberita di sini semalam.

Schedule for 2nd year

Salam Alaik.

As I passed by the Ain Shams website, i found that teaching schedule for 2nd year has come out. Yeah.. I must get ready for getting back to univ. it's about 3 weeks more I have for staying here enjoying the leisure time. From now on, I must change my learning skills (as before I was very lazy).huhu.. I wanna be a good medical student. no more wasting time n always sleep on the bed in 'saratoga'.. I won't be like that anymore. InsyaAllah. my target for the next year is I'll try by hard to score Mumtaz. Biiznillah... Amin.

The 2nd year schedule. It's not too packed. Got time to revise the subject and going to any Tafaqquh.

I need to do some revision as I'm going to start my learning back soon. so that I won't be too shocked receiving too many new things and knowledge.

 As today is 21st of september, 

I wanna wish my 3rd sister, Maryam Abu Bakar,

Happy 22nd Birthday! 

May Allah bless u.

:)

Salam Lebaran

Ku tangisi pemergianmu  Ya Ramadhan.
Ku sambut kedatangan Syawal dengan penuh keinsafan.
Sempena Syawal yg mulia, sama2 ita hulurkn tangan, mohon keampunan dn berikan kemaafan.
Semoga Ukhuwah terbina, silaturrahim terjalin.


Salam Aidilfitri, Syawal 1431 H
Mudah-mudahan madrasah di bulan Ramadhan dpt mentarbiyah diri agar istiqamah melakukan amal ibadat serta mengikuti sunnah baginda S.A.W.


Tidak banyak inginku ungkapkan. Sekadar beberapa kepingan gambar inginku kongsikan sebagai tanda ingatan bersama keluarga di hari kemenangan umat Islam. Dengan ketiadaan ibu disisi, Syawal terasa agak hambar namun sanak saudara yg datang berkunjung memeriahkan lagi suasana mengeratkan silaturrahim.

Keluarga bahagia Abu Bakar Hussian.. (baju2 yg dipakai tu bkn baju raya ye)

Keluarga Hajah Maimunah (family sebelah ayah). Raya 2nd.

Ayah, Pak Ngah Hassan dan Pak Su Hussin

Keluarga sebelah ibu.. Raya 3rd.

Dua orang anak saudara yang comel..

 Petang raya 1st menziarahi pusara ibu

Saya lihat, sudah menjadi kebiasaan dan satu adat amalan menziarahi kubur selepas sembahyang raya. Ramai orang bertanggapan amalan sebegini menjadi kewajipan untuk dilakukan pada 1 Syawal. 

Sepatutnya, kita perlu aulakan untuk menziarahi sanak saudara serta jiran tetangga yang masih hidup.

Mungkin ada yang beralasan datang dari jauh ke kampung dan hanya ada waktu itu untuk menziarahi kubur.

Bukan nak kata kita perlu lupakan orang yang telah meninggal dunia, tapi amalan ini seperti "pesta di kubur" lagaknya. Sehinggakan ada org siap menjual air di tepi tanah perkuburan pd 1 Syawal.

Menziarahi kubur pada bila2 masa pun boleh, bukan hanya waktu itu. 

Oleh itu, saya bersama abang dan kakak menziarahi pusara ibu pada waktu petang kerana orang tidak ramai. Lagi pun, kami bukanlah hanya menziarahinya sewaktu hari raya. Bahkan dlm seminggu kmi akan menziarahi 1 kali.

Apa2 pun, bersama kita tingkatkan amalan tidak kira dalam bulan apa. Semoga amalan yang telah kita lakukan di bulan Ramadhan yang lalu diterima Allah. Dan moga kita dapat bertemu kembali Ramadhan Al-Mubarak pada tahun hadapan. InsyaAllah. Amin..
