A Malaysian Laboratory has released 6 000, genetically modified mosquitoes into a forest, attempting to fight dengue fever.

The test, is thought, will make it possible for genetically engineered Aedes aegypti male mosquitoes to hopefully mate with females, producing no offspring, or at least offspring with shorter lives, and so reducing the mosquito population. Only the female members of the species spread dengue fever, which last year, caused 134 deaths in Malaysia.

The research has ignited criticism from Malaysian environmentalists, who say researches may have overlooked possible outcomes of the experiment, such as the creation of uncontrollable, mutant mosquitoes. Other criticisms included the idea that the killing off of mosquitoes could leave a void in the ecosystem, making room for other insects to in

What are the symptoms that we have identified? Dengue in infants and children who are still small often begins with symptoms of a viral illness, fever, runny nose, cough and rash. Older children often experience symptoms similar to those experienced typical adult fever, pain in the eyes and joints red and white blotchy skin.

This may be followed by loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting,

itching in the feet, feeling very weak during illness and after recovery weak.troduce new, unknown, deadly diseases.

There is no specific medicine to treat dengue infection. If you think you may have dengue fever, you should use pain relievers with acetaminophen and avoid medicines with aspirin, which could worsen bleeding. You should also rest, drink plenty of fluids, and see your doctor. If you start to feel worse in the first 24 hours after your fever goes down, you should get to a hospital immediately to be checked for complications.

What is the dengue fever?

Dengue fever is a disease caused by a family of viruses that are transmitted by mosquitoes. It is an acute illness of sudden onset that usually follows a benign course with symptoms such as headache, fever, exhaustion, severe muscle and joint pain, swollen lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy), and rash. The presence of fever, rash, and headache (the "dengue triad") is particularly characteristic of dengue. Other signs of dengue fever include bleeding gums, severe pain behind the eyes, and red palms and soles. 

Dengue can affect anyone but tends to be more severe in people with compromised immune systems. Because it is caused by one of five serotypes of virus, it is possible to get dengue fever multiple times. However, an attack of dengue produces immunity for a lifetime to that particular viral serotype to which the patient was exposed.

Dengue goes by other names, including "breakbone" or "dandy fever." Victims of dengue often have contortions due to the intense joint and muscle pain, hence the name breakbone fever. Slaves in the West Indies who contracted dengue were said to have dandy fever because of their postures and gait.

Dengue hemorrhagic fever is a more severe form of the viral illness. Symptoms include headache, fever, rash, and evidence of hemorrhage in the body. Petechiae (small red or purple splotches or blisters under the skin), bleeding in the nose or gums, black stools, or easy bruising are all possible signs of hemorrhage. This form of dengue fever can be life-threatening and can progress to the most severe form of the illness, dengue shock syndrome. That is why people in Malaysian afraid with dengue. 

How is dengue fever contracted?

The virus is contracted from the bite of a striped Aedes aegypti mosquito that has previously bitten an infected person. The mosquito flourishes during rainy seasons but can breed in water-filled flower pots, plastic bags, and cans year-round. One mosquito bite can cause the disease.

The virus is not contagious and cannot be spread directly from person to person. There must be a person-to-mosquito-to-another-person pathway.

What are dengue fever symptoms and signs ?

After being bitten by a mosquito carrying the virus, the incubation period ranges from three to 15 (usually five to eight) days before the signs and symptoms of dengue appear in stages. Dengue starts with chills, headache, pain upon moving the eyes, and low backache. Painful aching in the legs and joints occurs during the first hours of illness. The temperature rises quickly as high as 104 F (40 C), with relatively low heart rate and low blood pressure. The eyes become reddened. A flushing or pale pink rash comes over the face and then disappears. The lymph nodes in the neck and groin are often swollen.

Fever and other signs of dengue last for two to four days, followed by a rapid drop in body temperature with profuse sweating. This precedes a period with normal temperature and a sense of well-being that lasts about a day. A second rapid rise in temperature follows. A characteristic rash appears along with the fever and spreads from the extremities to cover the entire body except the face. The palms and soles may be bright red and swollen.

Treatment and Prevention 

Because dengue fever is caused by a virus, there is no specific medicine or antibiotic to treat it. For typical dengue, the treatment is concerned with relief of the symptoms. Rest and fluid intake for hydration is important.

• Exclusion from childcare, preschool, school or work is usually not necessary but people experiencing fever from dengue infection should not be in an environment where they may be bitten by mosquitoes. If this is not possible they should stay at home until they have no fever and are therefore no longer infectious (usually 3 to 5 days)

• there is no vaccine to prevent human infection by this virus

• personal protection and the environmental management of mosquitoes are important in preventing illness

• prevent access of mosquitoes to an infected person with a fever.

• Protect yourself from mosquito bites at all times in dengue areas.

Introduction 

Dengue fever is an infectious disease that continues to plague the lives of Malaysians. Year after year, dengue cases is increasing despite numerous awareness campaigns carried out throughout the country. Malaysia is among the countries that are at the top in the number of dengue cases in the world. This is not an achievement to be proud of.

Last year, a total of 41.226 cases of dengue fever have been confirmed and 88 of these cases have resulted in death. This total of 92% indicates pelonjakkan dengue cases compared to the year 2012 and 151% increase in cases of dengue fever were fatal.

What is dengue and how is it spread? 

Dengue fever is an infectious disease that can be prevented. It is caused by four viruses (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, DEN-4) of the Flaviviridae virus.

Humans are infected when bitten by a female mosquito that has been infected. Typically mosquito after sucking the blood of patients infected with dengue fever. Infected mosquito can transmit the virus to humans in their lifetime. Female mosquitoes can transfer the virus to eggs.

Dengue fever can not be spread from one patient to another patient directly. It is clear here that the female Aedes mosquitoes play an important role in ensuring the dangerous dengue fever continue to exist in our country.

Individuals who have suffered from dengue fever can still be infected again if a mosquito bites an individual who carries the virus from a strain that is different.

Why dengue fever can exist in Malaysia? 

Weather in our country that receives direct sunlight and rain throughout the year to create conditions suitable for breeding "vectors" or carriers of the dengue virus. Important vector in our country is the female mosquito Aedes egypti. These mosquitoes breed in clean water reservoirs such as flower pots, rain water reservoir in the tire or debris and water bathing pool and others.

What are the symptoms of dengue fever? 

After being bitten by a female mosquito that is infected, the virus can stay in the blood vessel system for 3 to 14 days and cause disease. Manifestations of dengue fever vary depending on age and level of immunity of a person. For children rather large as well as adults, signs of dengue fever is not much different from other viral infections (viral fever) as follows: -

fever 
Aching joints and muscles 
Pain behind the eyes 
headache 
Nausea and vomiting 
rash 
Bleeding gums (due to the decrease in blood clotting cells) 
Baby is not immune from this dangerous outbreak. Signs of infection in infants is relatively non-specific, such as fever, rash and less feeding. The fever may last up to 10 days 7-. 


Dengue hemorrhagic fever / dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) Vs Severe Dengue? 

Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever or DHF is the old classification of the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1997, which were previously used to label a serious case of dengue fever. This classification was changed to 'Severe Dengue' as research shows that the manifestations seen in patients other than reducing blood clotting cells, is not due to 'bleeding' but rather to channel the blood vessels become more permeable to fluid in the blood.

As a result of the blood vessels 'leak', the fluid in the blood flow into the living space, such as lung and intestine that can cause deterioration of the clinical condition of the patient, such as shortness of breath, internal bleeding and seizures. Reduction in blood pressure as a result of the ongoing 'leak' blood vessels can eventually lead to death.

Dengue fever is a complex disease that are difficult to predict. Not all cases of dengue fever will persist into Severe Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever or Dengue. Identifying 'sign - warning sign' is very important so that treatment can be given without delay.

Among the signs "warning" a person may be or have suffered 'Severe Dengue' is as follows:

Severe abdominal pain
frequent vomiting
Bleeding gums, nose
Patient restless or very weak
Other signs also exist which can be detected by a medical practitioner through physical examination and blood analysis.

How dengue infection is confirmed? 

In the early stages of fever, blood tests 'Full Blood Count' may be normal or decreased white blood cell count and blood clotting cells followed. Liver enzymes may also show abnormal readings.

To confirm dengue infection, the test can be carried out, including the detection of dengue antigen in the first 5 days of the appearance of symptoms or detection of antibodies against the virus 5 days after that.


What is the treatment and vaccine for dengue fever? 

There is no specific treatment for dengue fever. Treatment given only in the form of support. Monitoring of blood pressure, heart rate and speed of blood analysis is an important component that is focused by the treating doctor.

Vaccine for dengue is still in its test and development then no longer be used for the foreseeable future.

There is no clinical evidence to prove that taking food such as crab soup, pomegranate juice or any -What medicines and supplements can help in the treatment of dengue fever.

Prevention is better than cure 

Among the practices that can be applied are the steps to avoid mosquito bites. Aedes mosquitoes usually like to bite in the morning and evening periods. But this does not mean that we will not be bitten by a mosquito on time - another time.

Steps that can be taken, including wearing pants and long sleeves, wearing bright, close windows at - time of mosquito active, and wearing mosquito repellent or mosquito nets. There are also creams such as lemongrass-based commercially available on the market that can be used in the event will be going through a lot of mosquitoes in the area.

However, a more practical measure would eliminate the Aedes mosquito from breeding. Actually it is very easy if everyone is to make sure the home and surroundings clean and free from becoming a mosquito breeding.

Make sure there is no stagnant water in or out of our homes. Bath house with a pool can use 'Abate' is a drug that kills mosquito eggs. Guppy fish can also be used to eliminate the mosquito eggs for those who like to plant ornamental plants in pots with a reservoir of water.

Let us all Malaysians together to work together to reduce dengue cases and deaths caused by it.

The Meaning Of Aidilfitri to Me

Hari Raya Aidilfitri is a time whereby Muslims the world over celebrate the end of the fasting month. Hari Raya Aidilfitri is the moment that all Muslims wait to celebrate because it is only once in a year. The word Hari Raya mean " day of celebration "or also known as Hari Raya Puasa to conclude the Ramadhan holy month of fasting. 

So, my preparation during Hari Raya is always same. More happening, more exciting than my previous preparation. Well, celebration Hari Raya at least one month ahead, during the fasting period of Ramadhan. Women start to sew beautiful curtains or buy a new curtains and buy new clothes with family together. The best of getting Hari Raya, when family and I were making preparation together. We also do decorate for the house so that the house would look better when the guest visit it during the festival. I usually will tidy all of part in the house it would look clean. 

After fullfilling their one-month of fasting, the Muslims would be joyful to celebrate Hari Raya Puasa. I really excited because I can meet my relatives that long time not going to meet them. On the morning of Hari Raya, the men perform prayers at the mosque while children ask for forgiveness from their parents. When I ask forgiveness to my parents, i feel a bit touch in my heart. I feel happy because I still have my parents that always with me and I should be thankful because i still can celebrate this festive with my family. Futhermore, the little ones will also be given "duit raya" or gifts of money in small green packets. While, the first three days of Hari Raya are usually reserved for catching up the family. Many famillies hold open houses throughout the month where friends and neighbours of other races are invited to share conversation, laughter and variety of cookies, candy and traditional delicious.

Ketupat is one the must-have at Hari Raya. It is served together with beef rendang, chicken rendang and the best delicious is serunding. It has a 3 types of serunding, chicken serunding, beef serunding and also coconut serunding. I love chicken serunding. Moreover, Nasi Impit also the best delicious and i can served with Kuah Kacang. Kuah Kacang is my favourite and I don't missed to eat my favourite food when Hari Raya. Othe delicious delicates are such as Lemang. I'm Johorean and we don't miss a famous delicious at Johor is Lontong. Lontong contains a vegetables and should be have a Tempe. Are sound like interesting, isn't ? It is very delicious.

The meaning of Aidilfitri to me..

Name: MUHAMMAD ZAHIRUL AMRY BIN BADRUL HISHAM

 Hari Raya Aidilfitri is a religious holiday celebrated by muslims. Hari Raya literally means ‘celebration day’ and Hari Raya Aidilfitri is the day marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of dawn-to-sunset fasting. Hari Raya Aidilfitri is a joyous celebrations that involves happy feasting in homes everywhere family members great one another with ‘Selamat Hari Raya’.

  People are busy preparing for upcoming Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Usually our family will be returned to the village a week before Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Before returning to the village, my mother would make a lot of cookies to take home to their villages. The cookies that my mother made is tarts, rainbow cookies and chocolate marble. Dad will find bamboo to make lemang. Dad always bought a lot more to make a lamp bamboo.

 

 

 Relatives will be returned to the village a few days before Hari Raya and my family always come early. When all the relatives have arrived, we started to cook and decorate inside the house and in the yard. Women will be busy in the kitchen. My dad was good at burning lemang. It was not easy because bamboo is flammable. This is where my family and relatives got together and strengthen our relationship because we rarely see. The situation is very lively at my grandmother's house.

 Raya morning, everyone will be dressed 'Baju Melayu' and 'sampin' and go to the mosque to perform the Aidilfitri prayers together. Then, we will be greeting each family member to apologize. Then, we will go home with our other relatives and the neighbors. Only once a year I will be very happy together and celebrate Hari Raya with family and relatives.

 That's the only celebration that only once a year, which means a lot to me. I hope next year even more exciting than this year.That is the meaning of the Aidilfitri to me. 'Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri , maaf zahir dan batin'.
