過労死（かろうし）Karoushi
Gosh man! what is this. This is what we call Work Until You Die.
We can over work until we get killed. Well as I always say, there is a time to rest, work and everything. Shouldn't eat into each allocated time slot. If the the homeostasis mechanism will go bizarre.

Karōshi (過労死, karōshi), which can be translated quite literally from Japanese as "death from overwork", is occupational sudden death. The major medical causes of karōshi deaths are heart attack and stroke due to stress.

Bereaved Japan mother angered by deadly overwork
TOKYO - A JAPANESE woman hit out at corporate bosses this week, after her restaurant manager son died of a brain haemorrhage having done 200 hours of overtime in a month.
The case is the latest of hundreds of deaths a year officially determined to have been caused by the hardships of working for Japanese companies, where overtime is a matter of course and holidays few and far between.

Aging
Aging comes about when the body starts loose it's ability to maintain its homeostasis. As life proceeds the body exposes itself to many mutantgenic agents. The body tries to cause apoptosis of such cells. As more and more mutant genes are being created, the body gradually ages. The ability for the body to repair gradually diminishes.
We must be thankful everyday that we are experiencing healing and recovery. We must thank your kidney that is its able to excrete waste and bring our blood chemistry into balance. Kidney effieciency drops as one ages. Because they wont be with you forever. In every aspect of life, bringing things to a restoration are the many principles. It's like the concept of Taiji(太极); to bring everything into balance.
In health, we give sufficient rest, nutrients to the body to restore. In relationship, we seek reconciliation with our love ones. In daily living, we alocate time for family, study, work rest and etc.

What is death?
What is death?
When a life ends, that is death. The cessation of biological functions in organism brings about death. Life begins with birth, growth,maturation and death. Not too sure if it is after matutration, senescence of the body starts. Bodily organs starts to retrograde, and eventually cease its function.
When you know it comes...
Rather common... a sudden surge of energy comes, like what some of them call last burst of fire. Some may loose control of their body's involuntary muscle, which may cause uncontrollable urination and defication.
The body fails to matains homeostasis, all matter will return to is equilibrium with nature.

- Pallor Mortis takes place, the hearts stops, blood stops circulating and body becomes pale.Happens 15 to 20 mins after death.
- Therefore livor mortis takes place, a settling of the blood in the lower (dependent) portion of the body. Its takes places 20min to 3 hours after death.Blood then starts to harden in 3 to 5 hours time. In 6 to 12 hours, purplish marks becomes obvious.
- Algor Mortis takes place.Thermoregulation of body stops, and body returns its heat to the surrounding and body cools down.
- Rigor Mortis takes place in 2 to 4 hours time. The body becomes stiff.
- Decompostion begins at the moment of death, caused by two factors: autolysis, the breaking down of tissue by the body's own internal chemicals and enzynes; and putrefaction, the breakdown of tissues by bacteria. These processes release gases that are the chief source of the characteristic odour of dead bodies. These gases swell the body.
Death
From ash, man is created; when his journey reaches the end, death sweeps him; he returns to ash.
生命是非常的脆弱。有没有想过，当人生走到了尽头，生后会是怎么样的。或是否生后存在。丧礼不是为了亡生者，但是为这活这的人。人亡生，是否还会有未来？活这的，为死者做再多的风光葬礼，也只不过如此。
他也许在也看不见。这只不过是为了安慰活这的。想想看，还真是个悲哀。当我们活在这每一刹那，我们应该要为周照的人献出爱和关怀；要牢牢记住，明天不知道会发生什么事。因为当他已离去，那天做的再多，致爱的人早已感受不到，一切都没有什么意义。

2/3 of SCD occur in over-60 age group

Which age gp is more susceptible?
"Reports in recent years of fit and healthy young men collapsing and dying while exercising do not mean sudden cardiac deaths occur most in this age group. The reality is actually quite different, says Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Health, Hawazi Daipi. Less than 3 per cent of sudden cardiac death victims were below 35 years old. In fact, two-thirds of such cases involved victims above 60 years old. "
The below shows that CPR is very important for SCA. We now even have CPR instructions on Mobile!!
"Meanwhile, to improve survival rate in a cardiac arrest emergency situation, the Singapore Medical Association and the Singapore Heart Foundation have launched a Mobile Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Download for handphones. "
