AWSUM Centurion & Midrand - September 2022 edition

Sport en narkose

Baie skool kinders belê ‘n groot hoeveelheid van hul tyd om hul sport talent te ontwikkel. Drome van sportbeurse en ‘n professionele loopbaan as sportman of -vrou bring die Olimpiese leuse - Vinniger; Hoër; Verder – binne die bereik van jonger en jonger generasies. Ongelukkig maak die pad na sukses soms ‘n draai in die operasieteater, en baie ouers en kinders se vrees vir narkose en hoop vir vinnige herstel word hier onder die vergrootglas geplaas.

Die tipe sport wat ons beoefen bepaal tot ‘n groot mate die risikos waaraan ons blootgestel word onder narkose.

Buiten die feit dat kontaksport soos rugby die grootste bepaler is vir jou kans tot besering, is die tipe fisiologiese stres waaraan jou hart onderwerp word tydens jou voorbereiding, ‘n baie belangrike konsiderasie. Die Europese Hartvereniging klassifiseer sport in 4 afdelings om diè stres op die hart te bepaal. Uithouvermoë sport soos padfietsry, swem en driekamp het die grootste effek op die hart. ‘n Verdikking in die linker hartspier kan die kranige sportster se hart onder groter stres plaas tydens die stres van narkose en chirurgie.

Die genetiese variasie wat aan sekere atlete hul bo-menslike prestasies besorg, kan ook ‘n meer tragiese storie bevat. Sekere genetiese afwykings kan lei tot arritmiese versteurings in die hart. Gekoppel aan die verhoogde gebruik van anaboliese streroide onder skoolkinders, bly die atleet se hart die narkotiseer se grootste kommer wanneer die jong en buitengewone fikse sportster aan die slaap gemaak word vir ‘n tendonherstel of plasing van ‘n skroef in ‘n gebreekte been.

‘n Eerlike oop gesprek met jou narkotiseer oor die gebruik van opkikkers is dus van kardinale belang vir jou gesondheid.

Onthou, alle gesprekke tussen jou en die dokter bly konfidensieel. Verskeie middels wat deur WADA (World Anti-Doping Association) verbied word, mag dalk as deel van ‘n standaard narkose toegedien word. Versoek dus jou narkotiseer om seker te maak jou narkose plaas jou nie onder bedenking indien jy deel van ‘n WADA toesigprogram is nie.

Die meeste kinders se gesonde fisiologie maak hulle ‘n plesier vir die chirurg en die narkotiseer om mee saam te werk.

Sekere faktore in sport soos die tipe sport, genetiese predisposisies en gebruik van opkikkers moet egter in ag geneem word om te verseker dat die besoek aan die operasietafel nie die jong sportster se loopbaan beskadig nie. Soos die geval in baie mediese situasies, bly goeie kommunikasie die beste pad tot sukses.

Going on a motorhome adventure – your home away from home

At this time of year many family gatherings start to center around the conversation of what they are planning to do for the summer holidays. For many families the past adventures of a road trip in a motorhome may have to wait until the petrol price comes down a bit more. However, everyone may have the pleasure of remembering and reimagining their childhood memories going camping with their family in a caravan or motorhome.

These days it seems like more and more families are choosing to go on holiday with motorhomes. The ease of packing and knowing that your home away from home has everything you need, makes the start of the journey hassle free. Being on the open road and choosing to make a detour anywhere for a picnic or overnight stay is so much fun in a camper van. Whether you are travelling down to the coast or choosing to explore some of the backroads of the cape, South Africa has many scenic camping sites that are waiting to be explored.

Many motorhomes can cater for families up to 6 and come fitted with electricity and gas hubs as well as a microwave, air conditioner and fridge/ freezer. Families with small kids especially enjoy the ease and convenience of sleeping under one roof while enjoying the great outdoors. The ease of setting up camp (they’re equipped with outside tables and chairs as well) leaves so much more time to explore your surroundings

braai or enjoy card games around the well-lit interior of the motorhome dining table. Some people greatly value to privacy of an onboard bathroom and shower which is standard is most campers these days – so no more excuses for those needing their own WC!

With so many exotic locations and scenic drives to choose from, South Africa really is a motorhome paradise. If you have not tried it yet, you might be in for a very big and comfortable surprise.

To book your motorhome for your next family vacay, contact Bobo Campers for a reliable quote.

An out-of-this-universe opportunity for Curro learner

South African learner crossed live for an interview with Chinese astronauts in space

A grade 11 learner from Curro Waterfall, in Midrand Johannesburg still has her head in the clouds, after being chosen to cross live and interview a group of Chinese astronauts who are currently in space, on Tuesday, 6 September 2022 at the Chinese Embassy in Pretoria.

Dhiasha Naidoo was selected by the Confucius Classroom at Chinese Culture and International Education Exchange Centre (CCIEEC) to participate in a discussion on heaven and earth. She and her Manderin Club classmates submitted questions and videos for the Chinese astronauts (Taikonauts) in July this year, and many of her school friends watched as she undertook the live broadcast to Tiangong Space Station and spoke directly to the 14-man crew.

Dhiasha was the only South African learner asking questions with other queries coming from youth in Algeria, Egypt, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Senegal, and Somalia. Some of the questions Dhiasha asked the astronauts included how long it took them to reach space from Earth, if they ever get sick in space and how they cope with being apart from their loved ones.

This fabulous opportunity has mushroomed thanks to a small but very popular Mandarin (Chinese) club. Over the last three years, learners like Dhiasha have been able to take up the international language as an extramural and their Mandarin teacher collaborated with the South African Director of CCIEEC, Dr Zhilei Lu and Chinese Director, Prof (Jessica) Wenhong Dai which is where the relationship with the CCIEEC began.

“It is wonderful to see our learners being given the chance to experience this amazing, once-in-alifetime opportunity. It goes to show how important non-curricular learning is to the development of a learner. After all, not everyone can say they have spoken to an astronaut, let alone one live from space and I hope this experience fuels a much-needed desire for our learners to continue exploring domestic space travel,” explains Camilla Pretorius, Head of High School at Curro Waterfall.
