Medical Experts And Volunteers Against Ebola. Let's Meet Here! by NaMe4: 2:20pm On Aug 08, 2014 |
Clears throat . . . Na only me waka come? Seriously, the reality has set in. It's within our shores, but one thing for sure is that we will NOT be left helpless. This is the final bus stop for ebola. First step is for us to make good use of fora like this one for potential volunteers, medical experts and those who feel they have valuable contributions to make in order to organise ourselves and know what steps to take in prevention, information rendering and even approaching the necessary authorities with potential solutions. I surfed the web today in search of government agencies offering such information and it was rather . . . Well! So I feel we can start something here. 3 Likes |

Ebola is the name given to the virus which causes this potentially deadly disease. It was named after a River in Zaire, where the disease was first identified in the 70s. Among viruses, ebola is a relatively small virus measuring about 0.08 micron meter in its diameter and has variable length. This gives it a worm-like appearance. (Average sizes of viruses range between 0.02 micron meter and 0.2 micron meter and can only be seen using an electron microscope). Imagine the size of the human skin pore which is an average of 30 micron meter to 50 micron meter. This is more than enough room for the virus to make its way into the human body. This is where the risk of direct contact with an infected patient comes in. And one very important thing, the virus seems to be a very virulent disease-causing organism, meaning it hardly misses its chance to infect any suitable host. 2 Likes |

There should actually be a programme to initiate this campaign against Ebola for interested participants most especially for paramedical and medical personnel to educate the masses about this epidemic and various ways to control it's spread, this will go a long way of providing a helping hand to the government in fighting against this fearsome enemy the Ebola, I would gladly fulfill my purpose as a medical practitioner to support and gladly give my life to stop this rampage from spreading we all have loved ones to save, I say we stand tall against Ébola. 13 Likes |

this will be a real test to pharmacist and medical health practitioners in nigeria. we should be able to provide and create medications to treat our own diseases and reduce this over reliance on western medications. this should also encourage the nigerian government to introduce much more modern facilities in our hospitals and in tertiary instutions to ensure students get the maximum training in such fields. 3 Likes |

I know i wield some unconventional knowledge of the field of medicine. And i am therefore an eligible participant of this Nobel thread. Those who know and have benefited from my knowledge and advice on contemporary medical issues have done so to their own disadvantage. But still yet there still remain a vast number of people who still consider my opinion on medical issues as authoritative and genuine. As per the row about the use of common salt in the prevention of this deadly virus. I would advice us to for the mean time restrict the use of salts to the kitchen, as it has proven to be an invaluable ingredient in the preparation of food both cooked and roasted, this much i know about the benefit of salt, but as to its antiviral properties, i would leave that to those who have seen the depth and hollow crevices of the big and gigantic hardcovered textbooks and publications that are common to those of the medical profession. |

Ebola however is a VIRUS and is unaffected by salt. Bathing, drinking or, applying salt will have no beneficial effect whatsoever. (Same goes for pepper, vinegar, kolanuts, “Agbo Jedi-Jedi” or “Burntashi”) A person with Ebola is only infective when they begin to show symptoms. What this means is that you are very unlikely to contract the virus from a person who is not visibly ill. Even though early symptoms may mimic other common febrile illnesses, the characteristic external bleeding from the mouth and nose and other sites as well as red eyes and mucous membranes clearly distinguish Ebola from other illnesses that cause fever and malaise. Epidemiological research shows that majority of those who get infected are close family relations, carers and medical personnel who have been involved in the one on one treatment and care of victims. Persons who have handled corpses of Ebola victims are also prone. What this means is that unless you are a doctor, nurse, relative of an Ebola victim or an undertaker, your risk of contacting Ebola is (theoretically) very low. Spread information, not fear. 11 Likes |
