27 FEB - ON BEHALF OF...............
I see the issue about Hj Anuar who want to break the study still call for an answer. Let me answer the queruious on behalf of him coz he got problem to asses this blog. Actually, he will sit for the coming exam and continue the study unless he fail the exam then he wont continue the study. Untill now he still comitt with our group and giving a good cooperation in doing our assingment. Hope everyone no worried about it anymore. We pray for our success in flying colours Insyaallah.
Thank you, good night... have a good dreams
Kak Ani.
Is it true??????
When I open our blog today (after a few days)...wahhh so cheerful. But I'm also shock when heard about Hj. Anuar. Is it true Hj? I hope that it's not true and just a rumours. I know that you can go through all this. You are a good student and it was proved with your very good result at the 1st semester. I think all of us still remember that Hj Anuar was the only one who gave a good English presentation with his finger pointing at screen. As Hawa said...we have only 3 semester to finish and I also hope that all of us will graduate together.
May be all of us don't know what is your problem but I hope that you already 'istikharah' to make this hard decision. Insya Allah....Allah will show you the best way....

Photojournalism : The Street Protest

TRUE LOVES
Something to think about....
How would you feel if you found out that someone was thinking about you more than 1400 years ago?
A few days before he left this world, the Prophet Muhammad was heard saying....
" I wish that I had met my brothers....."
His companions, who were around him said, "We are your brothers !"
He replied ; " You are my companions. But my brothers are...."
" those who come after me, and believe in me without seeing me !"
This shows a glimpse of our Prophet's love for us...
And of course, we claim to love him as well....
But when love becomes limited to words, it becomes meaningless,
And when the loved one's advise is not taken seriously, it invalidates this love....

IN CASE OF FLOOD
Hj Anuar.b Ali ( G74462 )
Natural disaster sometimes it of course unpredictable. Proportion of all did not even expect think. Natural disaster phenomenon can happen split second without warning but flood disaster that struck in our state still could be detected with signs.
Like other natural disaster that happens worldwide, stay thing and life estate in critical condition. In those circumstances cannot avoid this, security knowledge and early preparation to face highly useful flood. Stated affairs get save the life or at least control high loss. Three important moments must take attention in facing flood season involving precautions to before flood time, when first flood.
Flood is state of things in which water went up exceed danger level and declared flood by side powerful. Willing researched by Meteorology Organization A Universal (WMO), flood is natural disaster third-largest already sacrifice a lot life and destroyed property. Flood problem in the country was closely related flooded among rainy season and flash flood. Focused people and development expansion in basin and river valley have been ridden easily water cause occurrence of floods difficult to be avoided. Flood frequency also improved change result land use which flow system in unable low-lying area issue rain flow heavy and drainage system experience result sedimentation development.
Preparation before the floods:
• Obtain information of flood in your place.
• Make Sure system warning flood, delivered and preparation information local flood.

• Check flex infused in water.
• Check electrical appliances that sink.
• Check easy materials burnt may flow enter by flood (kerosene, petrol, diesel etc).
• Dump food immersed or affected water flood including tinned food.
• Check septic tank damage to avoid biology danger.
• Report any damage public facilities to the authorities.
Infectious disease risk:
Customary that physical destruction accompanying awful great flood. When water flood ebb, it may give threatening that bigger for security and health person. Not lag impact of stress mental among victim suffer damage residential, property, livestock, crop nor loss beloved person. To flood season, well during and after it, endowment infectious illnesses water as typhoid fever and cholera, usually easy to spread if the measures duly not taken up. Heavy rain will cause spillover flood and brings along garbage, water sewage and chemical from the factory and industry. This flood as water will cause poisonous materials will rise to the surface and pay negative impact.
Us how can look after the health in evacuation centre?

People south Peninsula may not that provide against this natural disaster when take into account area inhabited before this never ride water. This affairs is different with the people in the east coast more prepared Peninsula because every year have to face with flood problem.In facing environment such, all party please persevere accept test and follow direction of the authority to make sure assistance can be channeled quickly to the victim those involved.

Floods happen when soil and vegetation cannot absorb all the water. Floods can give the major impact on the health systems esspecially the human populations because the range of possible health outcomes is not very good. The direct and immediate impacts on humans health includes loss of life, injuries, lack of clean water and destroyed sewage systems. Floods also can cause the damage of infrastructural, contamination the water supplies, spread and bring out many kinds of diseases, shortage of food crops and slow down the economics.
Floods can potentially increase the water borne diseases like gastrointestinal disease, conjunctivitis, dermatitis, leptospirosis and cases of vector borne diseases such as malaria and dengue. The gastrointestinal diseases like cholera and diarrheal infections are the most common flood related diseases because it can easily spread or contracted after drinking water or eating food contaminated by common bacteria pathogens such as Vibrio cholera that produce toxins, Escherichia coli (EPEC)0157 particularly in infants and young children and thypoid bacteria like Salmonella and Shigella. Transmission of other parasites such as Entamoeba coli, Entamoeba histolytica, and Gardia lamblia occurs when a person eats or drinks something that has been contamination with infection faeces. The outbreak involved mostly in adults and also children and was controlled after adequate water and sanitation facilities were provided. Poorly treated human sewage contains pathogens that are a key cause of diarrheal infections. Bacteria pathogens also present in public water supplies where the floods can contaminated the underground pipelines and dislocation of storage tanks. Therefore, the water supplies in home may be not unsafe for drinking, cooking or other routine working. The other symptoms involved with flood related diseases include vomiting, diarrhoea, fever, allergic and abdominal cramps. However, loss of body fluids rapidly can lead to dehydration because the electrotytes imbalance in the body. Loss of body fluids can treat by replacement with the normal saline or oral rehydration salt. A healthy person may becomes hypotensive within an hour of the onset of symptoms and may die within 2-3 hours if no treatment is provided.
Other flood related diseases which are not mentioned in the article are mold infection. Mold is the common type of fungi infection. Mold is a kind of microscopic fungi. There are many types of mold are present throught out the environment, indoors and out. Tiny mold particles are always present in the air, in the form of tiny microscopic cells known as spores. Mold spores can grow and seat in a moist or damp environment or any surface that contains organic matter. A home that been flooded can provided ideal conditions or the growth and poliferation of mold. Peoples who are exposure to very long period of mold, can get more serious problem such as nasal and sinus congestion, cough,wheeze or breathing difficulties, sore throat, skin and eye irritation and upper respiratory infections. The group that have been risk to the mold infections such as infants, children, elderly, individuals with respiratory conditions, allergies, asthma problem and persons with weakened immune systems(HIV infection, cancer patients taking chemotherapy,organ transplant recepients). The places are very easily mold to growth are, damages building structural, such as ceiling, walls, carpet, woodwork, sink, furniture, cabinets ,tiles bathroom and other strored items. Removal and cleaning are important because even dead mold may cause allergic reactions. To prevent mold growth, clean wet items and surfaces with detergent and water.
The alternative ways to curb one of the diseases especially the water borne diseases are water quality, food safety, sanitation and personal hygiene, precautions during handling clean -up activities and take the immunisation when appropriate. The public are advised to used only water that have boiled or treated with chlorine and iodine for drinking, eating food that have been thoroughly cooked and avoid food or drinks from street vendors. The public also must wash the cloths or anything that contact with flood water more completely. Practice proper hand washing also to prevent infection with certain pathogens that may be transmitted from farm animals. Secure all food sources and remove any animal carcasses to avoid attracting rats. Wear insect repellant when outdoors because it can lead to more mosquitoes, which can carry disease. For mold infection,use rubber gloves, eye goggles and wear outer clothing (long sleeved shirts and long pants) that can removed before leaving the working area.People who have health problems should not do clean up work where there is heavy mold growth or materials contaminated with mold.

FLOODING by Mohamed Heikkal Ismail
People who are affected by floods are often apprehensive about the potential, long term adverse effects of exposure to contaminants, mould, and toxic substances that may be present in their homes after clean up.The long term effects of flooding on psychological health may perhaps be even more important than illness or injury. For most people the emotional trauma continues long after the water has receded. Making repairs, cleaning up, and dealing with insurance claims can be stressful.Most of the current cases are wound infections in people with underlying medical conditions that are immunocompromising or who have chronic liver diseases.
The public should boil or chlorinate tap water before drink and this is one of the prevention from the flood related diseases but this may be difficult if electricity, gas, and dry wood are not available in the flooding area.

BLOG WRITING ASSIGNMENT


On the negative side, floods disrupt normal drainage systems in cities and typically overwhelm sewer systems. Thus, raw or partially raw sewage spills are common in flooded area. Additionally, if the flood is severe enough, destruction of buildings that can contain a large array of toxic materials (paints, pesticides, gasoline, etc..) can cause the release of these materials into the local environment, which is not good. Floods disrupt many people's lives each year and personal tragedies due to flooding occur frequently.
The most common flood-related disease are infectious diseases spread primarily through contaminated water. Though these disease are spread either directly or through flies or filth. Most intestinal diseases are infectious and are transmitted through faecal waste. Thypoid, Cholera, Paratyphoid fever and Bacillary dysentery because of bacterial infections. Infectious Hepatitis (jaundice) and Poliomyelitis because of viral infections and Amoebic dysentery because of Protozoal infections. Another water-related killer is Malaria, is just as potent in this region and the vector-borne diseases, along with dengue fever.
Other flood-related diseases which are not mentioned in the article is skin infections within the flood victims at the flood relief centre such as scabbies, mange and skin rash. Scabbies is caused by a type of mite and it is very contagious. The most coomon symptom of scabbies is extreme itching, particularly at night. Scabbies causes the skin to become red and blistered. Areas of skin affected by scabbies include between the toes and finger, around the wrist, folds of the elbow, armpits, beltline, abdomen, genitalia, nipples, buttocks and the groin. Babies and small children may get it on the face , scalp or soles of the feet.
Scabbies is transferred by direct skin to skin contact within flood victims. It can also be transferred by contact with clothes or bedding that has been contaminated by an infected person. A very common way to get scabbies is to shake hands with an infected person or during physical contact. Scabbies mites only infest humans not the animals and can survive for three or four days if they are away from the human body.
The only way to curb the water-borne and symptoms of scabbies are is to improve the people’s hygienic behaviour and only drinking the boiled water. The simple act of washing hands before eat can reduce the number of diarrheal cases and infections. Everyone living with an infected person with scabbies, as well as intimate contacts, should be immediately treated by Dermisil. The infected persons clothing and bedding needs to be washed in hot water and ironed so as to kill the mite and all of its eggs. So, everyone should be treated at the same time to prevent reinfestation with scabbies from other persons who might be infected but do not have any symptoms yet.
TQ- Hawa
About the blog, if Cik Mas want to give mark base on the most active, I give award to your group. Is a good job coz you have learn to improve you english continiously. Now is 5 am may be you still sleep with a sweet dream. The person that never open this blog will miss everything is right or not? OK Bye

Above statement tells that natural disaster in Malaysia such as floods make an tremendous impact on the environment and society. Floods are not only troublesome and life wrecking, they are known to increase the transmission of water-borne disease and vector-borne disease. Normally it causes trauma and deep emotional disturbance to the flood victims.
It can also lead to epidemics water-borne and vector-borne diseases comes from contamination of water. Clean drinking water becomes scarce and creating an unhygienic conditions which lead of spreading of water-borne diseases.
Other flood – related diseases which are not mentioned in the article is Amoebiasis related with Entamoeba histolytica which. It is an anaerobic parasitic protozoan, part of the genus Entamoeba. It infects predominantly humans and other primates. It is estimated that about 50 million people are infected with the parasite worldwide. The active (trophozoite) stage exists only in the host and in fresh loose feces; cysts survive outside the host in water, soils and on foods, especially under moist conditions on the latter. When cysts are swallowed they cause infections by excysting (releasing the trophozoite stage) in the digestive tract.
E. histolytica, as its name suggests (histo–lytic = tissue destroying), causes disease; infection can lead to amoebic dysentery or amoebic liver abscess. Symptoms can include fulminating dysentery, diarrhea, weight loss, fatigue, abdominal pain, and amebomas. The amoeba can actually 'bore' into the intestinal wall, causing lesions and intestinal symptoms, and it may reach the blood stream. From there, it can reach different vital organs of the human body, usually the liver, but sometimes the lungs, brain, spleen, etc. A common outcome of this invasion of tissues is a liver abscess, which can be fatal if untreated. Ingested red blood cells are sometimes seen in the amoeba cell cytoplasm.
It can be diagnosed by stool samples but it is important to note that certain other species are impossible to distinguish by microscopy alone. Trophozoites may be seen in a fresh fecal smear and cysts in an ordinary stool sample. ELISA or RIA can also be used.
The ways to curb Amoebiasis is besides moving to a safe area, you should only drink boiled chlorinated water. Don’t drink water from rivers or wells after a flood. Make sure your food is prepare with the same water. Wash your hands if you touch contaminated water.

BLOG WRITING (10%)
Most floods that occur are a natural result of cyclical monsoons during the local tropical wet season. Natural disaster such as floods makes an enormous impact on the environment and society.
The most common effect flood related disease is water-borne disease and vector-borne disease.
Waterborne disease is caused by pathogenic microorganism which is directly transmitted when contaminated drinking water is consumed and can cause Cholera and Typhoid. Contaminated drinking water, used in the preparation of food, can be the source of food borne disease through consumption of the same microorganisms.
Vector-borne disease that is usually transmitted via vectors or intermediate hosts include dengue, filariasis, Japanese encephalitis, leishmaniasis, malaria, onchocerciasis, schistosomiasis and trypanosomiasis. In addition, it has recently been confirmed that domestic flies play a significant role in the mechanical transmission of diarrhoeal diseases and trachoma.
Other flood –related disease which are not mentioned in the article is if your fields or farm building have been flooded, take special precaution against flood-related disease in poultry and livestock. Watch for signs of flood-related disease for animal a Black leg and Anthrax, Tetanus (Lockjaw), Foot Rot, Mastitis, Botulism, Brooder Pneumonia and Erysipelas. Puncture wounds can results in disease such as tetanus or other skin injuries can lead to local infections or more serious disease such as dermal anthrax or erysipelas.
Since floods and standing water can promote the growth of anaerobic pathogens, avoid contact very young, very old or persons with impaired immune function (e.g AIDS patients or cancer patients) are likely most susceptible.
Flood related disease also occur when airborne mold spores are present in large number, they can trigger allergic reactions, asthma episodes, infections and other respiratory problems. In addition, exposure can cause development of an allergy to mold, resulting in long term problems.
Leptospirosis, or Weil’s disease is a zoonotic bacterial disease associated predominantly with rats.Leptospirosis caused by exposure to water contamination with the urine of rat and other animal and the symptom include diarrhea, vomiting and kidney or liver problems.
The ways to curb one of the diseases are rodent control after a flood. Safety precautions and elimination following floods, rats and other rodents may move into buildings to escape flood waters. Snakes are often forced into places where they are not usually found. Upon reentering flooded homes or building, you will need to be wary of these possibilities. Rats can carry disease and parasites, while snakes may be poisonous or at least frightening. Neither poses serous problems but the chance of an incident increase after disaster.
Controlling rats if rat continue to be a problem after flood waters recede, contact your country Extension agent or professional pest control operator for advice. If you own be extremely careful with any rodenticide or trap. To minimize rat problems:
-Remove trash piles and piles of damage furniture or equipment. Store materials on platforms or shelves 12 to 18 inches above the ground.
-Remove food sources. Store food supplies in rat-proof bins or containers. Suspend garbage containers from trees or posts. Remove animal carcasses, as they may attract rats.
-If you are bitten by a rat, wash the wound with soap and water and see a doctor immediately. Rats may carry disease and at the least, rat bites can cause infection. If the rat is captured or killed, health authorities may wish to check it for rabies or other disease. When picking up a carcass, use the inside of a plastic bag to avoid touching it. Double-seal it in plastic and freeze until further notice.

Flood 2004
Thank you
To Hawa, Shahril, Ain and Aduni,
Thank you
hi
IN CASE OF LOOD
Floods have the potential to exact a major impact on the health of human populations, and for a given flood event, the range of possible health outcomes is broad. These outcomes can result directly from health risks associated with the presence of floodwater or indirectly via the impact of floods on shelter, livelihoods, infrastructure and health systems.

[ikhlas]. For instance, it was al-Hasan [al-Basri] (may Allah bestow His mercy upon
him) who said:
"I asked Hudhaifa (may Allah be well pleased with him): 'What is meant by sincere
devotion [ikhlas]?' He replied: 'I once asked the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him
peace): "What is meant by sincere devotion [ikhlas]?" He replied (Allah bless him and
give him peace):
"'I once asked Gabriel (peace be upon him): "What is meant by sincere devotion
[ikhlas]?" He replied: "I once asked the Lord of Might and Glory [Rabb al-'Izza]
(Majestic and Exalted is He): 'What is meant by sincere devotion [ikhlas]?' So He told
me (Glory be to Him and Exalted is He): 'It is a secret, a part of My secret knowledge
[sirr min Sirri], which I entrust to the heart of anyone I love among My servants."
Flood-related diseases
However, the public health impact of floods also includes damage or destruction to homes and displacement of the occupants that may, in turn, facilitate the spread of some infectious diseases because of crowded living conditions and compromised personal hygiene. Stress-related mental health or substance-abuse problems may be associated with flood disasters. The occurrence of injuries may increase during the clean-up phase of a disaster.
The multiple environmental consequences of flooding can directly affect the public's health. For example, water sources can become contaminated with fecal material or toxic chemicals, water or sewer systems can be disrupted, dangerous substances can be released (e.g., propane from damaged storage tanks), and solid-waste collection and disposal can be disrupted. In addition, flooding can result in vector-associated problems, including increases in mosquito populations that, under certain circumstances, increase the risk for some mosquitoborne infectious diseases (e.g., viral encephalitis)
Floods and other natural disasters often are followed by rumors of epidemics (e.g., typhoid, cholera, or rabies) or unusual conditions such as increased snake or dog bites.
Leptospirosis was part of the expected clinical conditions associated with flooding. Leptospirosis has a wide range of symptoms that can mimic other diseases. Symptoms of leptospirosis include high fever, severe headache, chills, muscle aches, and vomiting, and may include jaundice (yellow skin and eyes), red eyes, abdominal pain, diarrhea, or a rash. If the disease is not treated, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the patient could develop kidney damage, meningitis (inflammation of the membrane around the brain and spinal cord), liver failure, or respiratory distress. In rare cases death occurs.
Leptospirosis has been suspected as the cause of death.Treatment doxycycline prophylactic programme began that day. It included providing a single treatment with 200 mg doxycycline to all persons above eight years old, excepting pregnant women.
Planning for floods enables communities to respond effectively to possible threats to health.
Purification of drinking and cooking water.
Disinfection of wells.
Food safety (i.e., handling of food that may have come in contact with flood water or of refrigerated food after the interruption of electrical power.
Sanitation and personal hygiene.
Injury-prevention measures to be taken during the return to and cleaning up of flooded homes.
Communicable diseases and vaccinations.
Mosquito control.
Other hazards such as animals, chemicals, and swift-flowing water.
Most of the flood-related illnesses and injuries were not critical and education about injury prevention such as wearing of shoes and clothes in the submerged area might lower the incidence of accidents. Even simple lacerated wounds should be irrigated and debrided thoroughly and left for delayed closure with tetanus immunization. Although of low incidence, psychological health support also is needed.

- PROGRAM EKSEKUTIF SAINS BIOPERUBATAN
SEMESTER II SESI 2007/2008
ASSIGNMENT TOXICOLOGY NNNB3042
ü The assignment should NOT be more than (FIVE) 5 pages (single spacing).
ü Students are encouraged to refer to many references and list them at the end of each assignment.
ü Students are strongly PROHIBITED to plagiarize and ‘copy and paste’ directly from internet.
ü Marks for each assignment would be taken into 30% of final assessment.
ü Students should hand in the assignments TWO weeks before the date of FINAL examination.
________________________________________________________________________
1. Toxicokinetic refers to whatever body does to a toxicant.
i. Explain and justify its importance in toxicology:
a) Bioavailability.
b) Multi Dose Compartment Model.
c) Half-life.
d) Volume of Distribution.
e) Clearance.
ii. Therapeutic index is a comparison of effective versus lethal dose (LD50 / ED50).
a) Explain the above statement and justify margin of safety of a toxicant.
b) Describe Log Dose Response Curve, Probit Analysis and the assumptions made when doing the curve. Briefly state the importance of various parameters and values that could be derived from the curve.
2. Drug metabolizing enzymes (DME) are abundant in cytochrome P450s of the liver. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) such as benzo(a)pyrene are environmental toxicants when bioactivated are also potent hepatotoxicants.
a) Write short notes on drug metabolizing enzymes and the functions of cytochrome P450s in xenobiotic metabolism.
b) Explain mechanisms of toxicity of benzo(a)pyrene with regards to DME.
c) Describe the source of PAH and discuss the various factors that can influence the balance of detoxification and bioactivation of benzo(a)pyrene.
3. Rachel Carson wrote a book called ‘Silent Spring’, which led her to be hailed as the Mother of Environment.
a) Summarize ‘Silent Spring’ in ways that it caused a major shift in public consciousness about the environment.
b) Describe briefly selective toxicology of pesticide with regards to the impact to environment and risk assessment.
4. Cancer is a multi step process across time, as a long and complex succession of genetic changes. Each change enables precancerous cells to acquire some of the traits that together create the malignant growth of cancer cells.
a) Define oncogenes and tumour suppressor genes. Mutations in certain genes could lead to malignant transformation of cells but not all mutagens are supposed to be carcinogenic. Explain.
b) By giving TWO (2) examples of genotoxicity testing, justify its concept and relevance for potential cancer risk.
c) Give a brief description of classification of carcinogens and ONE (1) example each with its list of toxicities by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Monographs.
5. A teratogen is an agent that can disturb embryogenesis or the development of the embryo or fetus. Teratogens halt the pregnancy or produce a congenital malformation (a birth defect). Classes of teratogens include radiation, maternal infections, chemicals, and drugs such as Thalidomide and Agent Orange.
a) Explain mechanism of toxicity of teratogenesis with regards to embryogenesis.
b) What is Thalidomide and Agent Orange?
c) By giving examples of various radioactive material and radiation, explain their general toxicities and also their advantages to human.
6. Drug development or preclinical development is defined as the process of taking a new chemical lead through the stages necessary to allow it to be tested in human clinical trials. Natural products have also been widely developed as potential drugs due to their low toxicities.
a) Explain drug development with regards to testing used in preclinical development and various phases of clinical drug development.
b) By giving examples, justify man-made products vs natural products with regards to their advantages and disadvantages.
7. Paracetamol (PCM) is an analgesic and antipyretic agent. PCM intoxication can cause liver and kidney failure and in some animals, for example cats, small doses are toxic. Because of the wide availability of paracetamol there is a large potential for overdose and toxicity.
a) Give reasons of liver and kidney are the major target organs for PCM poisoning.
b) Explain its mechanism of toxicity and reason it is very toxic to cats, and also give its risk factors of intoxication.
b) In case of PCM poisoning, explain by giving examples the mechanisms to treat its poisoning.
