Calcium

Salam

Di rumah Kak Ell,beberapa bulan yang lalu.

Tengah menulis.Buat latihan Histo. Tiba-tiba berhenti(voluntarily).

"Fathy,what's wrong?" kak ell tanya
"Kak,tengok ni..."

empat pasang mata melihat jari jemari tangan kanan Fathiyyah yang masih lekat dengan sebatang pen

"Eh,tak ada daa" kecewa Fathiyyah
"Whaat? tak nampak apa pun"
"Tadi,my fingers contract. Involuntarily. 'Tetany' eh kak?
"Ermmm,selalu ke?"

"Yup,especially masa nak study la."
"Badan awak kurang Calcium . Bahaya la Fathy kalau macam ni selalu. Nanti ikut akak,pegi beli susu"

=================================


Di Anonymous Suite,semalam

tetingkap Mozilla Firefox pada Gong Chan >> wikipedia,encyclopedia

"Cari apa fathy?" tanya kak KD ( tahun 4 medical Student)

"tetany"

"kenapa?"

"tingling fingers. Lack of Calcium eh kak?"

"hurmm,most probably.Awak belum tahap 'tetany' kot,cuma kurang Calcium je ni. Awak memang kena start amal minum susu. Nanti tua-tua esok takut melarat."

"oh,kenapa?"

"Awak tahu tak,dalam tempoh umur kita macam sekarang sampai umur 35 thn nanti,tulang kita boleh serap kalsium. untuk kuatkan tulang.Lepas umur 35, tulang dah tak ada keupayaan untuk serap kalsium dah boleh menyebabkan Osteoporosis.then,masa muda ni memang la kena amik Calcium banyak-banyak. Kalau sejak muda lagi dah kurang calcium,boleh bayangkan apa jadi nanti bila dah tua?" terang kak KD jelas-jelas.

"orait. Faham! dan perempuan pun hilang banyak Calsium kan kak? i mean bleeding loss every month rite?"

"yep. Sekarang ni pun, perempuan yang bersalin akan mudah dapat Osteomalacia due to deficiency of vitamin D and lack of Calcium in adults"

"oooooo"

==================================

Tetany: A combination of signs and symptoms, due usually to low calcium, that can include:

• Hyperreflexia (overactive neurological reflexes),
• Carpopedal spasm (spasms of the hands and feet),
• Cramps, and
• Laryngospasm (spasm of the larynx, the voice box).

Tetany characteristically is considered to result from a severe degree of hypocalcemia (literally, very low calcium levels in the blood).

Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by the loss of the normal density of bone, resulting in fragile bone. Osteoporosis leads to literally abnormally porous bone that is more compressible like a sponge, than dense like a brick. This disorder of the skeleton weakens the bone causing an increase in the risk for breaking bones (bone fracture).

Osteomalacia: Softening of bone, particularly in the sense of bone weakened by demineralization (the loss of mineral) and most notably by the depletion of calcium from bone.

Osteomalacia may be caused by poor dietary intake or poor absorption of calcium and other minerals needed to harden bones. Osteomalacia is a characteristic feature of vitamin D deficiency in adults.

* Biasanya bila budak medik sakit atau terkena penyakit,mesti ada perbualan begini . Buat diagnosis masing-masing. Cari alternatif sendiri untuk selesaikan masalah tanpa perlu jumpa doktor(takyah makan ubat :D)

*Terus terang, penulis lebih selesa jumpa senior bila sakit berbanding jumpa doktor. Senior yang biasa jumpa>> Kak Ell! ngeh ngeh

*Kak Ell baru sudah 'end round' O&G kelmarin. Eh,rindu kak ell la ni.

*Sekarang demam Biochem dan terbaca tajuk Osteomalacia. Lusa Exam!


Last but not least >> Happy 31st Birthday Abang Long!
