VESTIBULOCOCHLEAR TALK.....BAL-EX launching ceremony...!!!

Yesterday ( 1st AUGUST)..there was a seminar about  VESTIBULOCOCHLEAR SYSTEM and the launching of BAL-EX at Grand Riverview Hotel organised by UNIVERSITI SAINS MALAYSIA...each undergraduate participants need to pay RM50... 65 of us from MUCH...
So, when to college by 7.45A.M...the bus departed at about 8.10AM.M...and the talk is scheduled to start at 8.00A.M..O Gosh...its damn late and i was afraid cause i was one of the person incharge representing my college....cooolly sat down in the bus...then bout 15 minutes reach at the hotel...registered and are ready for the talk...
I was very surprise to know that the event has not yet started waiting for us...haya..malu betul...hehe...but nevermine la...not a matter...
Then they announced the arrival of all the professors, doctors, dean and etc....then one man when up there and was reciting the prayer(gosh it too so long for him to finish the prayer + he was not prepared) but i don"t care la cause it was just a prayer...hehe...good what!!!

Then they started introducing BAL-EX la..that is balance exercise for patients who has vestibulocochlear system impairment..because of this impairment..the patient is unable to balanced their body...then they launched the BAL-EX...
BAL-EX is a very useful method to treat patient with balance problem an there was live demonstration and testimonies given by patient who has benefited form this treatment....
Then the talk was about anatomy & physiology of the human EAR...gosh..there so much things to remember...

DO YOU KNOW???  that the EAR is the first SENSORY ORGAN that is developed in a foetus...WOW...

Then they gave a talk about VERTIGO(common among pilots) because vertigo is got to do with balance...vertigo is a condition where your perception on the things you see and the things that your sensory system tells your brain is DIFFERENT...it is a feeling of nausea, vomiting, headacheness...
In short about VERTIGO

Then the talk when on with VEMP (Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential)
>> Saccule is important for linear movements in the vertical plane...
>> Utricle is important for linear movements in the horizontal plane...

but i was wrong...OMG....it was Heaven for awhile...there's so much food to be tasted...the desert are just awesome..had a great lunch there(its worthy)....

All in all there's so much new things that i've learnt during this one day session and i really hope that can apply those knowledge to my future patients and to improve their health status for a better and quality life.....

REMEMBER: It's not the QUANTITY of days you will live on this earth that matters, but the QUALITY of  life that you've journeyed is what matters...!!!


So, give the best out of your life...!!! be positive n think positive and all will fall into place...as what u've planned....Health Comes First...!!!
