KOTA BHARU, 24 April (Hrkh) - Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM) Kubang Kerian menawarkan rawatan rangsangan dalam otak secara percuma kepada pesakit parkinson yang kurang berkemampuan. HUSM dibawah lapan pakar antaranya neorosains, radiologis, dan psikologis mensasarkan tiga hingga empat pesakit setiap tahun.

Rawatan tersebut adalah untuk mereka yang menghadapi pergerakan abnormal termasuklah parkinson, essential tremor (keras dan tidak boleh kawal pergerakan tubuh), dan dystonia (kedudukan tubuh tidak normal).

Pesakit yang mengalami penyakit ini biasanya terpaksa berhenti bekerja memandangkan proses penakulan otak berjalan perlahan dan ini memerlukan penjagaan sepenuh masa oleh kaum keluarga.

Bagaimanapun pada persepsi masyarakat apabila otak menghadapi masalah mereka menganggap penyakit berkenaan tidak boleh diubati.

Rawatan rangsangan otak itu merupakan yang terbaru di Malaysia, di mana pembedahan pertama dilakukan di sebuah hospital swasta di ibu negara tiga tahun lepas, dan selepas itu di Hospital Universiti Malaya.

Pada 21 Mac 2007 HUSM merupakan hospital yang ketiga melakukan rawatan tersebut. Seorang pesakit Che Idris Che Ahmad, 54 yang menghidap penyakit itu selama 17 tahun, di mana beliau tidak boleh mengawal badannya sejak awal 1998. Lima tahun selepas itu anggota badannya menjadi keras dan terketar-ketar.

Hari ini, Che Idris pesara Telekom Malaysia Berhad ketika ditemui mengakui hasil rawatan tersebut beliau sudah boleh berjalan dengan baik, kaki dan tangannya tidak lagi menjadi keras.

Menurut Perunding Neorologis HUSM Prof Dr John Tharakan ketika memberi penerangan kepada media hari ini, kajian di Australia mendapati rawatan melalui pembedahan itu sudah menjadi perkara biasa memandangkan kos ubat bagi pesakit berkenaan setiap bulan lebih tinggi berbanding kos pembedahan.

"Ubat perlu diambil tiap-tiap bulan dan kos ini lebih tinggi berbanding kos pembedahan yang hanya dilakukan sekali sahaja," katanya.

Beliau juga menjelaskan kos rawatan dan pembedahan otak tersebut tidak kurang daripada RM90,000 seorang, bagaimanapun kos di hospital swasta boleh mencecah RM200,000 hingga RM250,000.

Dr John mensasarkan rakyat di negeri pantai timur dan juga utara semenanjung untuk membuat rawatan rangsangan otak bagi pesakit seperti itu di HUSM.

Sebelum menjalani pembedahan, kiri dan kanan otak pesakit terlebih dahulu akan diperiksa melalui CT Scan supaya tidak berlaku sebarang komplikasi semasa pembedahan.

Apabila pesakit berkenaan sesuai untuk dilakukan pembedahan, lubang sebesar duit syiling lima sen akan ditebuk di kiri kanan kepala untuk menanam sejenis alat yang dikenali sebagai 'neurostimulator' sebesar enam hingga sepuluh milimeter (mm).

Kemudian alat tersebut akan disambung melalui elektrod sepanjang lapan hingga 10 (mm) di dalam otak. 'Neurostimulator' yang di tanam kiri kanan otak akan disambungkan ke satu bateri yang ditanam bawah kulit melalui leher. Bateri tersebut ditanam di dada kanan pesakit.

Dr John menegaskan pembedahan perlulah dilakukan dengan betul-betul tepat jika tidak ia boleh memberi kesan sampingan kepada pesakit.

Beliau berkata tujuh pakar dalam beberapa bidang terlibat dalam pembedahan itu termasuk Perunding Kanan Neurosurgeon dan Neurosains USM, Prof Dr Jafri Malin Abdullah dan Pakar Bedah Neurosurgeri yang juga pensyarah USM, Dr Abdul Rahman Izaini Ghani dari jabatan yang sama.

Apa yang menakjubkan, semasa pembedahan dilakukan di kepala, pesakit dalam keadaan 70 peratus sedar untuk memastikan pesakit serta merta memberi tindakbalas.

"Semasa pembedahan kita boleh terus kesan tangan pesakit yang sebelum ini keras dan boleh digerakkan serta merta. Sebab itulah kita lakukan pembedahan dalam keadaan pesakit sedar," jelasnya.

Bagaimanapun tambahnya, dalam proses pembedahan selama 30 minit untuk memasukkan bateri di dada, pesakit ketika itu pesakit dalam keadaan tidak sedar.

Ketika ditanya sejauh mana rawatan tersebut boleh memulihkan pesakit parkinson, Dr John berkata rawatan tersebut tidak seratus peratus boleh memulihkan pesakit tetapi boleh menjadikan pesakit seperti orang biasa.

"Parkinson tidak boleh dipulihkan sepenuhnya, dan pesakit akan bergantung pada alat yang ditanam di kepalanya sehingga akhir hayat, tetapi melalui rawatan ini sekurang-kurangnya

pesakit dapat meneruskan kehidupannya seperti biasa tanpa perlu perhatian daripada orang lain," katanya.

Pesakit yang menjalani rawatan ini hanya perlu membelanjakan sekurang-kurangnya RM5,000 setiap lima tahun untuk menukar bateri yang ditanam di dadanya.

Penyakit parkinson boleh berlaku disebabkan beberapa faktor antaranya genetik, kecederaan otak yang lama, jangkitan kuman dan strok. - /mj .

40 Reasons why you should join AGLOCO

1. You can make money safely, legitimately, and easily.

2. It takes maybe three minutes to join.

3. You need nothing more than a working computer connected to the Internet.

4. You don't have to enter any sensitive information to join.

5. You don't have to buy anything to join.

6. You don't have to buy anything ever once you are a member.

7. It's easy to cancel if you don't want to be a member any more.

8. You'll only download a small free toolbar that won't install anything else on your computer, hog its memory, or read your keystrokes.

9. You'll make the same amount of money even if you never click on anything.

10. AGLOCO is the real deal, not some little scam. A good number of notable entrepreneurs are backing it. A Google search with keyword "agloco" will net you 1 million pages and counting.

11. Very important: AGLOCO's business model has been tried before and proven to work. In fact, AGLOCO's predecessor paid out over $120 million to its members (this is what finally convinced me).

12. You can dramatically increase your income by referring other people to AGLOCO, because...

13. ...AGLOCO pays you a portion of the surf money earned by those you referred up to 5 levels below you. So...

14. You can recruit your friends and all make money together when you help them get referrals. Thus,

15. The sooner you sign up, the more folks will come to you for info and the more likely it is that you will be the original seed of a large referral network in your community.

16. You never have to read emails from people you don't know.

17. You'll never be asked to send emails to people you don't know.

18. You don't have to change anything you normally do on the Internet. You surf, AGLOCO pays.

19. AGLOCO's revenue source is genuine: a Viewbar members use that shows targeted advertisements based on your surf history, with the money paid to advertise going back to the members. That's not magic; that's common sense.

20. The Viewbar software you will download will not invade your privacy; it simply looks for keywords on the pages you view in order to show related ads.

21. The Viewbar is maybe the size of your taskbar at the bottom of your screen - in other words, it's small and won't interfere with your browsing experience at all.

22. AGLOCO has a thorough privacy policy that explicitly guarantees personal information will never be sold or given away.

23. In fact, AGLOCO has not one but three agreements every member must agree to. The bases are covered.

24. AGLOCO has a CPO - Chief Privacy Officer - whose responsibility is to make sure your privacy is never violated. His name is Ray Everett-Church, and he has more experience protecting privacy than probably anyone else on the planet.

25. AGLOCO doesn't play; anybody providing fake information, signing up twice, or otherwise trying to cheat the system will be detected by AGLOCO's anti-hacking instruments. This is an honest enterprise through and through.

26. By signing up, you support the company that will change Internet advertising for the better.

27. By signing up, you get to own a piece of the company that will change Internet advertising for the better. AGLOCO belongs to its members, which is to say that...

28. ...you will own stock (more if you refer people) in a company that is likely to become huge and thus your stock will be worth something awesome when AGLOCO goes public on the London Stock Exchange.

29. You will likely find that other AGLOCO members, especially now in the early stages of AGLOCO, are some of the Web's savviest users and developers, and you can learn a bunch from them.

30. You get to be on the cutting edge of World Wide Webware development, which means that as AGLOCO grows, its members will benefit from...

31. ...discounts when members buy from companies affiliated with AGLOCO;

32. ...possible help with spyware/antivirus protection (remember, everyone from Fortune 500 companies to millions of users will all benefit from a better browsing experience);

33. ...community forums where members can meet and discuss not just stuff, but ways and member-based projects to make AGLOCO better (it is our company).

34. Our company is in good hands. AGLOCO pays 10% of its revenues to Infomediary Services Corporation (ISC), which is simply the management company that is responsible for managing AGLOCO. The other 90% of the revenue belongs to us. This 10% will attract the designing talent needed to make AGLOCO great. The corresponding 10% of AGLOCO's shares go to a foundation dedicated to providing every human being on Earth with Internet access.

35. AGLOCO's management team will not get stock in AGLOCO. This ensures that those in positions of high responsibility don't hijack the company.

36. Though circumstances will vary, you can get paid and earn shares no matter where on Earth you live.

37. If you choose, you can donate your earnings and shares to the charity of your choice.

38. If you get involved in referring more members, you might be able to quit your day job and actually spend time at home, with your family, on vacation, wherever - and still make money.

39. If AGLOCO fails, you won't lose any money because you paid none in the first place.

40. AGLOCO ain't gonna fail. The last time such an opportunity existed, people made over $120 million in under 2 years, when far less people had Internet access and conditions weren't yet right for such a company to go public. Now, with record spending on advertising and calls from all sides for less irrelevant advertising and a better business/customer connection, the world is more than ready for an economic network that gives back to its users.

Now, if you aren't yet a member, after everything I just told you, you're not going to go and sign up?
