Founded in 1986, the Asian Association of Endocrine Surgeons (AsianAES) serves as a regional platform dedicated to advancing knowledge-sharing and innovation in the field of endocrine surgery. Established under the leadership of its founder, Professor Yoshidie Fujimoto, the association held its inaugural Congress in Tokyo, Japan, in 1988. AsianAES was created to foster collaboration and enhance training opportunities for endocrine surgical trainees across Asia and Western nations.

The upcoming 19th AsianAES Congress is scheduled to take place from April 2–4, 2025, at the LOTTE HOTEL WORLD in Seoul, Korea. This follows the successful 18th Congress, hosted at Hitotsubashi Hall in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan, from March 16 to 18, 2023.

As Chairman of the Congress, I am honored to extend a warm invitation to colleagues and professionals worldwide to join us in Seoul for this pivotal event. Your participation will enrich our shared mission of advancing endocrine surgical care and expertise.

This is a complete stripping of humanity. A never-ending tragedy.

Families across the #GazaStrip continue to be forced to flee, forced to leave their homes and belongings behind. All they can now do is try to stay alive.

People have lost absolutely everything. #CeasefireNow

Semasa menjawat jawatan Mufti, saya mengimpikan sebuah aplikasi soal jawab hukum yang mampu mempermudah urusan umat Islam di Malaysia dengan ribuan bank artikel isu-isu agama semasa.

Namun, Allah SWT lebih mengetahui hikmah yang berlaku.

Apabila saya mula kembali menjawab soalan-soalan agama setelah “berehat” seketika semasa menjawat jawatan Menteri - setepatnya pada 10 Januari 2022 - sambutan masyarakat amat luar biasa.

Dengan hampir 5 juta kunjungan ke web https://t.co/Jf1XgVJPem hari ini sejak 3 tahun lalu, saya mula memikirkan pendekatan yang lebih mesra dengan kemajuan zaman.

Hasil usaha jitu pasukan media Maktabah Al-Bakri, lahirlah aplikasi Al-Inarah yang dibina seadanya, dengan sumber kewangan yang amat terhad.

Hari ini pada 26 Ogos 2024, genap 7,000 buah artikel yang dimuatnaik dan boleh diakses secara percuma. 3 tahun untuk 7,000 buah artikel sudah pasti bukan kerja mudah. Namun, ia adalah semangat kerja berpasukan yang menatijahkan kejayaan.

Saya dengan rendah hati memohon sekiranya para ulama mendapati ada kekurangan pada mana-mana artikel, boleh sampaikan untuk semakan kami.

Terima kasih juga kepada lebih 400 orang yang memberikan “rating” 4.9 kepada aplikasi Al-Inarah. Ia satu penghormatan bagi kami.

Kami ada banyak lagi kejutan untuk anda. Insya-Allah, dengan doa dan sokongan umat Islam di Malaysia, Maktabah Al-Bakri akan berusaha menjadi peneraju utama kepada hab soal jawab agama di Malaysia.

Dah muat turun Al-Inarah?

You're LEGALLY entitled to compensation for flights canceled or delayed — Here's what you say:

Save this script to complain via email, chat, text, or phone:

"Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I'm reaching out to request compensation for my flight from [Origin] to [Destination] on [Date], which was [delayed/canceled]. I understand that flights can sometimes be delayed or canceled due to unforeseen circumstances, but I am entitled to compensation for the inconvenience caused by this [delay/cancellation].

I have attached copies of my ticket and any relevant receipts or documentation, including expenses for meals, accommodations, and transportation incurred due to the [delay/cancellation].

I would appreciate it if you could please review my case and provide me with a response as soon as possible.

Thank you for your attention to this matter."

When flights are canceled or delayed, you're legally entitled to:

• Refunds
• Alternate transportation
• Compensation for additional expenses
• Reimbursement for flight-related expenses

In the U.S., the Department of Transportation (DOT) requires airlines to compensate passengers for delays and cancellations.

The DOT's rules do not specify an amount but require airlines to provide meals, accommodations, and transportation to and from the airport.

Under European Union (EU) regulations, if your flight is canceled or significantly delayed, you may be entitled to compensation from the airline if the delay or cancellation was within the airline's control.

The first thing you should do is contact the airline to determine your options.

• If your flight has been canceled, many airlines offer to either reschedule your flight later or provide a full refund for the ticket.

• If your flight has been delayed, many airlines offer compensation or assistance, such as meals or hotel accommodations, depending on the length of the delay and the circumstances.

If you experienced a significant delay or other inconvenience, you may be able to receive additional compensation to cover any additional expenses you incurred as a result.

If you cannot find a satisfactory resolution, you can file a complaint with the Department of Transportation.

It gives me great satisfaction to teach and demonstrate the surgical technique of locating and removing a parathyroid adenoma to young surgeons and doctors this morning. We did a focus parathyroidectomy localised by ultrasound and complemented by intraoperative iPTH monitoring as part of a clinical study. Young surgeons need to develop the required surgical skills and learn to be meticulous in performing thyroid and parathyroid surgery.

Kehidupan diibaratkan seperti lautan,
Kadangkala tenang menyenangkan dan kadangkala bergelora ombak dan angin,

Dalam kehidupan ada ujian, Ada ujian dalam bentuk kemiskinan,
Ada ujian dalam bentuk kenikmatan,

Inilah bukit kasih sayang Maha Esa.
Allah SWT ingin hambanya kembali dan bertaubat di hadapannya lewat jalan apa sahaja.

YB Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad, Menteri Kesihatan telah mempengerusikan Mesyuarat Pengesahan Kertas Pendirian Bersama tentang Rintangan Anti Mikrob (AMR) baru- baru ini di Geneva.

Kertas ini akan dibawa ke Mesyuarat peringkat tinggi pada Perhimpunan Agung Pertubuhan Bangsa-bangsa Bersatu (UNGA) pada September ini.

AMR adalah suatu ancaman besar kepada kesihatan awam kerana banyak prosedur dan rawatan bergantung kepada antimikrob seperti antibiotik dan antivirus. AMR menyebabkan penyakit dan luka sukar dirawat, seterusnya berisiko menyebabkan kematian.

Baru-baru ini juga, YB Menteri Kesihatan dan YB Menteri Pertanian dan Keterjaminan Makanan telah mengadakan dialog dengan Jawatankuasa Pilihan Khas Parlimen Kesihatan berhubung perkara ini.

Dengan adanya pendirian bersama di peringkat global ini, usaha untuk memenangi AMR oleh setiap negara dan pemegang taruh akan lebih berfokus dan berkesan.

VAKSIN ASTRA ZENECA DAN KESAN SAMPING DARAH BEKU

Kesan sampingan yang dikatakan berkait dengan vaksin Astra Zeneca adalah kesan darah beku atau Vaccine Induced Immune Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia  (VITT ). 

Ia adalah penyakit di mana darah membeku bersama dengan sel darah kuning menjadi kurang. Perkara ini HANYA berlaku dalam sela masa 4 hari hingga 4 minggu selepas menerima vaksinasi. Orang ramai diminta tidak risau kerana vaksinasi terakhir AZ telah berlalu bertahun lamanya. Kes mahkamah yang diwar-warkan adalah kes yang berlaku di United Kingdom sewaktu pandemik COVID-19. Ia bukan berdasarkan kes yang berlaku baru-baru ini.

Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia pada waktu itu telah menerima laporan bahawa VITT ini boleh berlaku dalam sela masa 4 hari hingga 4 minggu selepas vaksinasi. Namun yang demikian, vaksin ini masih perlu digunakan untuk program vaksinasi kerana kadar kematian akibat COVID-19 dalam kalangan masyarakat yang tidak divaksin amat tinggi, dan ketika itu stok vaksin tidak mencukupi waktu itu. Golongan berisiko tinggi adalah golongan yang pernah mempunyai sejarah pembekuan darah sebelum ini. Golongan berisiko ini tidak dibenarkan menerima vaksin jenis Astra Zeneca. Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia juga mengeluarkan garis panduan bagi menyaring golongan yang berisiko tinggi bagi tidak menerima vaksin jenis ini, dan juga bagi pengesanan awal sekiranya kesan sampingan ini berlaku AEFI. (Boleh rujuk gambar).

Selain langkah berjaga-jaga ini, insiden kesan samping darah beku (VITT) juga sangat rendah iaitu 4 kes berlaku dalam 1 setiap juta suntikan. Jika dibandingkan dengan risiko darah beku dan platelet rendah selepas jangkitan COVID-19 itu sendiri, ia lebih selamat. Selepas jangkitan COVID-19, risiko kesan darah beku daripada jangkitan thrombotic thrombocytopenia (TT) ini adalah setinggi 165 000 kes dalam 1 juta jangkitan. Insiden darah beku di kalangan perokok pula adalah lebih tinggi iaitu hampir 1800 kes dalam 1 juta perokok. Tiada lagi kes VITT dikesan dan dilaporkan kini. 

Kes serangan jantung, stroke dan masalah pembekuan darah yang masih lagi berlaku kini TIADA KAITAN dengan vaksin kerana tiada lagi program vaksinasi menggunakan vaksin ini kebelakangan ini. Astra Zeneca vaksin juga tidak digunakan Untuk dos penggalak (Booster dose).

Serangan jantung, stroke dan masalah pembekuan darah yang masih berlaku kini adalah disebabkan faktor risiko lain seperti merokok, masalah kolesterol, dan masalah kencing manis. Orang ramai diminta membezakan antara kesan samping darah beku (VITT) dengan masalah pembekuan darah yang lain. Kriteria diagnosa VITT mestilah ianya berlaku dalam sela masa 4 minggu selepas vaksinasi dan perlu ada nilai platelet yang rendah. Diagnosa tidak boleh dibuat dengan mata kasar tanpa pemeriksaan dan pengesahan oleh pegawai perubatan. Kita perlu berhati-hati dengan analisa fakta dan salah tafsir yang akan menyebabkan kekusutan dan kekeliruan di kalangan masyarakat.
