Anyway, i'll be sharing some interesting things i read up in the magazine from time to time..
Here's one quote that pretty much goes on in every girls head..hehehe..(July,2009 issue)
"I want to have a good body,but not as much as i want dessert."-Jason love(xkenal pun)
All hail chocolate souffle and cendol!! :P
The picture that saved a baby's life (article on Retinoblastoma)..
If a picture your little sis/bro or any one's child you know of appears something like this(notice the diff in the colour of one eye),bring the child to see an ophthalmologist IMMEDIATELY.. It may be Retinoblastoma..
Facts about Retinoblastoma..
1. it is a cancer of the retina (light sensitive lining at the back of the eye)
2. most common primary ocular cancer in infants & children under 5
3. can occur in 1 eye or both
4. 45% of casses is inheritable..
5. can be successfully treated in 9 out of 10 casses when the cancer is still contained within the eye
6. sign & symptoms include the pupil flashes white in a flash photograph,redness of the eye or a crossed eye.
I'm not a certified doctor yet..and i've got a long way to go before i start diagnosing patients..hehhe..but i recommend to friends and others who are cautious about their health to start reading up articles related to health..there are a lot of websites that could provide essential info's and facts related to symptoms & signs that one might have..As we all know, preventing is waaaayyyyy better then cure..it doesn't mean that if you do not have any sort of knowledge in health sciences or you probably can't differentiate between a heart and a liver, u do not need to know anything about your health..We never stop learning..So start paying more attention to the person u look in that mirror everyday and utilize the biggest dictionary on earth!(the web)
Some list of websites that i use to get info on sign & symptoms..
1. wikipedia..(heheh..but my profs don't recommend it cz sometimes their facts are not accurate..but it's okey to use it to look up for weird,funny unfamiliar terms)
2. emedicine.com (some might find the facts a bit too heavy or hard to understand..but you can always look up for the terms)
3. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus
