Yes, This Our World

Lelah sebenarnya, dengan aktivitas perkuliahan ini. Aku benar - benar sadar.. di kota ini, di kampus ini, di kamar ini, dan saat ini, aku ada demi cita - citaku. Aku memutuskan sendiri untuk berada di jalan ini, dengan izin dari-Nya tentunya.

Aku sadar aku juga bukanlah orang yang benar - benar cerdas serta super rajin seperti mereka. Bisa aku katakan bahwa tidak ada yang dapat kubanggakan dari kemampuanku. Aku jauh tertinggal dari mereka.

Aku juga sudah cukup paham, bahwa diriku juga bukan orang yang tak memiliki keegoisan, bukan pula orang yang tak mementingkan kepentingan pribadi. Pelajaran yang begitu berharga saat aku masih menjadi anggota Palang Merah Remaja semasa SMA sudah sangat cukup memberikanku pemahaman tentang arti dari sebuah pengorbanan dan keikhlasan.

Aku sangat bersyukur memiliki saudara - saudara semasa SMA yang mampu mengubahku, setidaknya benar - benar menanamkan pemahamanku bahwa kita hidup di dunia ini tidak sendiri. Ada oraang - orang di sekitar kita, siapapun mereka tak layak bagi itu untuk mengesampingkannya. Apa, bagaimana, dan siapa pun mereka. Semua patut kita hargai. Tak layak pula bagi kita untuk berpikir bahwa diri kita lebih baik dari yang lain. Hargai, hargai orang - orang di sekeliling kita. Karena hanya Allah lah yang secara adil menilai hamba-Nya semata - mata dari amal ibadahnya, bukan yang lain ..

Mungkin hal itulah yang bisa kita aplikasikan dalam kehidupan sehari - hari. Apalagi di dunia kami. Ya, saat ini aku memiliki keluarga baru. Keluarga yang beranggotakan orang - orang hebat. Orang - orang yang memiliki tujuan yang sama, untuk menjadi seorang dokter.

Mereka semua hebat, semua cerdas, semua memiliki karakteristik masing - masing. Namun inilah keluarga, keluarga yang terdiri dari beberapa kepala. Kepala - kepala yang belum tentu memiliki isi yang sama. Cara menghadapi masalah - masalah yang tentunya akan berbeda pada tiap kepala.

Ok, kita memang berbeda dalam hal "kepala". Tapi aku yakin, kita sebenarnya memiliki visi yang sama, untuk menjadi seorang dokter yang bermanfaat bagi masyarakat, bangsa, dan negara. Oleh karena itu, sudah seharusnya pula kita melangkah bersama. Rangkullah, Gandenglah semua dari kita, janganlah anggap perbedaan - perbedaan pada kita. Yakinlah, kalau kita semua punya kekurangan dan kelebihan masing - masing yang mungkin belum tampak nyata dari pribadi kita. Hargailah semua pribadi keluarga kita, karena dengan mengahrgai mereka tanpa memandang siapa mereka, itu akan lebih menjadi indah jika memang kita benar - benar KELUARGA.

Semoga bisa menyadarkan pribadi ini, yang benar - benar merindukan kita sebagai KELUARGA.

Mariah Carey - Hero

There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are

There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

It's a long road
And you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold

You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

Oh ho, Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away, hey yea

Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time, you find the way, hey

Then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

That a hero lies in you
Mmm, that a hero lies in you

Perayaan Hari Gizi Nasional

Hari Gizi Nasional tahun 2011 ini, diisi dengan kegiatan bakti sosial yang diadakan oleh Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Lampung dan Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Malahayati. Bakti sosial ini diselenggarakan, Minggu, 6 Maret 2011. Serta bertempat di SD Negeri 4 Taman Sari, Kecamatan Gedung Tataan, Kabupaten Pesawaran, Bandar Lampung.

Kegiatannya antara lain adalah pembagian susu, telur, bubur, dan makanan lainnya, lalu ada juga pemeriksaan status gizi anak SD. Tujuannya adalah sebagai skrining terhadap suspek KEP (Kurang Energi Protein) maupun Obesitas. Ada juga penyuluhan kepada para siswa mengenai pentingnya menjaga kebersihan pribadi, salah satunya dengan mencuci tangan setelah beraktivitas dan sebelum makan. Selain itu, siswa - siswi juga diajarkan untuk mengkonsumsi makanan yang megandung karbohidrat, protein, lemak, vitamin, dan mineral  (atau dahulu dikenal dengan 4 sehat 5 sempurna) setiap harinya. Penyuluhan tersebut disampaikan oleh dr. Iswandi Darwis. (Semoga saya bisa segera menyusul seperti beliau).. ^^

Entah apa yang menjadi penyebabnya, setiap baksos yang saya ikuti, saya seperti dihujam begitu banyak fakta bahwa, inilah mereka, inilah bangsa kita. Mereka (anak-anak sekolah dasar), mereka punya cita- cita, mereka punya harapan, mereka juga sama seperti saya kecil dahulu. Tapi apakah nantinya mereka juga punya kesempatan yang sama untuk terus belajar? Jawabannya ada pada pemerintah yang seharusnya lebih memperhatikan lagi kualitas mereka, baik fisik maupun sarana prasarana mereka, khusunya sekolah. Keadaan yang jauh dari kata 'maju', semoga bukan mereka (adik-adik itu) jadikan sebagai penghambat mereka dalam berprestasi. Melainkan mereka jadikan sebagai motivasi, penggerak perjuangan mereka untuk memperoleh apa yang mereka cita - citakan, dan pada akhirnya akan memperbaiki kualitas Bangsa Indonesia.. Aamiin.

Semangatlah wahai pribadi dan adik - adik penerus bangsa ! ^^

adik Tati dan adik Tika yang insyaAllah menjadi penerus Bangsa yang serdas lahiriah dan rohaniah

TOP 5 KILLER CANCER

adopted from : http://www.healtynews.com/top-5-killer-cancers/ 

Cancer is now the number one killer disease in the world, so people must take care of it. Here is list of Top 5 Killer Cancers.

Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is a disease of uncontrolled cell growth in tissues of the lung. This growth may lead to metastasis, which is the invasion of adjacent tissue and infiltration beyond the lungs. The vast majority of primary lung cancers are carcinomas of the lung, derived from epithelial cells. Lung cancer, the most common cause of cancer-related death in men and women, is responsible for 1.3 million deaths worldwide annually. The most common symptoms are shortness of breath, coughing (including coughing up blood), and weight loss.The main types of lung cancer are small cell lung carcinoma and non-small cell lung carcinoma. This distinction is important, because the treatment varies; non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is sometimes treated with surgery, while small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) usually responds better to chemotherapy and radiation. The most common cause of lung cancer is long-term exposure to tobacco smoke.The occurrence of lung cancer in nonsmokers, who account for as many as 15% of cases, is often attributed to a combination of genetic factors, radon gas, asbestos, and air pollution, including secondhand smoke.

Breast Cancer

Breast cancer refers to cancers originating from breast tissue, most commonly from the inner lining of milk ducts or the lobules that supply the ducts with milk. Cancers originating from ducts are known as ductal carcinomas; those originating from lobules are known as lobular carcinomas. There are many different types of breast cancer, with different stages (spread), aggressiveness, and genetic makeup; survival varies greatly depending on those factors. Computerized models are available to predict survival. With best treatment, 10-year disease-free survival varies from 98% to 10%. Treatment includes surgery, drugs (hormonal therapy and chemotherapy), and radiation.

Stomach Cancer

surgeon removes part or all of the stomach, as well as the surrounding lymph nodes, with the basic goal of removing all cancer and a margin of normal tissue. Depending on the extent of invasion and the location of the tumor, surgery may also include removal of part of the intestine or pancreas. Tumors in the lower part of the stomach may call for a Billroth I or Billroth II procedure. Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is a treatment for early gastric cancer (tumor only involves the mucosa) that has been pioneered in Japan, but is also available in the United States at some centers. In this procedure, the tumor, together with the inner lining of stomach (mucosa), is removed from the wall of the stomach using an electrical wire loop through the endoscope. The advantage is that it is a much smaller operation than removing the stomach. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a similar technique pioneered in Japan, used to resect a large area of mucosa in one piece. If the pathologic examination of the resected specimen shows incomplete resection or deep invasion by tumor, the patient would need a formal stomach resection.

Surgical interventions are currently curative in less than 40% of cases, and, in cases of metastasis, may only be palliative.

Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is a form of cancer that develops in the prostate, a gland in the male reproductive system. The cancer cells may metastasize (spread) from the prostate to other parts of the body, particularly the bones and lymph nodes. Prostate cancer may cause pain, difficulty in urinating, problems during sexual intercourse, or erec dysfunction. Other symptoms can potentially develop during later stages of the disease.

Rates of detection of prostate cancers vary widely across the world, with South and East Asia detecting less frequently than in Europe, and especially the United States. Prostate cancer tends to develop in men over the age of fifty and although it is one of the most prevalent types of cancer in men, many never have symptoms, undergo no therapy, and eventually die of other causes. This is because cancer of the prostate is, in most cases, slow-growing, symptom-free, and since men with the condition are older they often die of causes unrelated to the prostate cancer, such as heart/circulatory disease, pneumonia, other unconnected cancers, or old age. Many factors, including genetics and diet, have been implicated in the development of prostate cancer. The presence of prostate cancer may be indicated by symptoms, physical examination, prostate specific antigen (PSA), or biopsy. There is controversy about the accuracy of the PSA test and the value of screening. Suspected prostate cancer is typically confirmed by taking a biopsy of the prostate and examining it under a microscope. Further tests, such as CT scans and bone scans, may be performed to determine whether prostate cancer has spread.

Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is a malignant growth on the skin which can have many causes. The most common skin cancers are basal cell cancer, squamous cell cancer, and melanoma. Skin cancer generally develops in the epidermis (the outermost layer of skin), so a tumor is usually clearly visible. This makes most skin cancers detectable in the early stages. There are three common and likely types of skin cancer, each of which is named after the type of skin cell from which it arises. Unlike many other cancers, including those originating in the lung, pancreas, and stomach, only a small minority of those afflicted will actually die of the disease. Skin cancer represents the most commonly diagnosed cancer, surpassing lung, breasts, colorectal and prostate cancer. Melanoma is less common than basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, but it is the most serious—for example, in the UK there are 9,500 new cases of melanoma each year, and 2,300 deaths. It is the most common cancer in the young population (20 – 39 age group). It is estimated that approximately 85% of cases are caused by too much sun.[citation needed] Non-melanoma skin cancers are the most common skin cancers. The majority of these are called basal cell carcinomas. These are usually localized growths caused by excessive cumulative exposure to the sun and do not tend to spread.
