Healthtech—Why It Matters in Nigeria’s Healthcare.

Healthcare providers constantly faces some difficulties in providing quality and accurate healthcare to patients, while complying with the strictest of privacy safeguards. The journey of a patient usually starts with an initial diagnosis, then followed by a treatment, which often involves transfers between acute care, post-acute care, ambulatory care and home healthcare. If patient’s diagnosed and treated timely at each and every stage, it can have a detrimental effect on the patient’s health and quality of care. In such case, mobility in healthcare can help both healthcare providers and patients by offering a Universal Access to Healthcare.
Healthtech helps both healthcare providers and patients by facilitating secure and accurate exchange of Medical diagnoses in healthcare. By creating an Artificial Intelligence mobile apps for healthcare, providers can improve the process of transitions of medical care, which will improve quality of healthcare with fewer re-admissions.

Shhhh! Quiet; Patients are sleeping.

Hospitals are meant to be places of recovery. But how tranquil are they really?
In hospitals around the world, noise complaints are booming while some hospitals are trying to stem the "round-the-clock" racket.
Medical equipment, air circulation machinery, announcements and staff pages create a cacophony of sounds 24/7 that can stress patients
Besides sleep disruptions, high noise levels in hospitals can change patients' heart rate, respiration and blood pressure. These, in turn, boost stress levels and may slow healing
Equipment alarms are a major source of hospital noise. While some of these alarms alert staff to changes in a patient's medical condition, others sound when medication or batteries are running low.
Alarms in hospitals are being horribly abused. Most of the time, they don't in fact indicate urgent situations. Bedside alarms sound an average 133 times a day, according to background research with the study.
Most alarms are being responded to eventually, but not all in a timely fashion. Staff also may not respond quickly because they recognize that the sound is not critical and the situation will right itself.
The booming noise are now being curbed Via this link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smaarthealth.app The advent of AI powered smartphones app had brought about more innovations in healthcare—access to quality virtual medical care is now possible.

Tooth decay
Dr. Sylvester Ikhisemojie
Tooth decay is one of the most common disease conditions in the world today. It is very common in Nigeria and it affects people of all ages and both sexes. It is a preventable disease as well and affects an estimated 1.5 million people every year in Nigeria according to some estimates. This disease is caused by the presence of certain foods in our mouth which are broken down by different types of bacteria that act on such foods. Unfortunately, there is no way we can live without some of those bacteria because they are also natural inhabitants of the mouth. This disease has a technical term called dental caries which is a diagnosis made by a dental surgeon who is more usually just known as a dentist in everyday communication. This essay is provoked by two people close to yours truly who had some rather serious experiences and that is why we need to share their travails in order to increase the level of awareness.
The first person is a polytechnic graduate who began to experience toothache about two years ago. Soon, the pain became so severe that it was impossible to chew anything with that side. Still, he refused to go to a hospital not to mention a dentist. When the tooth became so diseased that it began to shake, he took a pair of pliers one faithful evening and removed the offending tooth. He simply grasped it in the curved hooks of the device and twisted the tooth until it came off. That device was not sterilised; it was the same one the mechanics and electricians use for their daily work and no form of pain relief other than his sheer determination to get the bad tooth off. He claimed that the pain he endured in doing so was nothing compared to what he suffered up till that point. He removed it by sheer brute force. Now, he has another bad tooth and thinks it is wiser to seek expert help.
The second person is a university graduate of many years who suffered for a long time and endured many sleepless nights that the use of different types of pain killers simply did not ameliorate. She decided to seek medical help when the gum on that side became noticeably swollen and her mouth began to smell. There is no toothpaste she did not try but the smell simply did not go. One faithful night, after she managed to sleep despite the pain, a sudden rush of pus into her mouth woke her from sleep. The volume of pus was so much and the smell was overpowering that she knew she must seek help. At daybreak, she feverishly sought the hospital attention she had avoided for years. The tooth was extracted to her immense relief and she was placed on some antibiotics and more pain-relievers.
Now, the two cases described above are people who are well educated and live in metropolitan Lagos, not some village dwellers with little or no access to proper health care. It can only be imagined what the situation is in the hinterland. As stated earlier, dental caries is a preventable disease. It is a persistent condition and it is widespread. Many people take poor care of their teeth. Sometimes, it is an embarrassment to take a look at the teeth of some people your age and you see what they are taking around. Some of them have teeth that have grown from white or off-white to gray and even green.
They retain coloured plaques on the teeth and also between them and end up with some quite disappointing optics when you take a close look at such dentition. Worse, when they have cavities in their teeth, decayed teeth as we have seen above, and they acquire a mouth odour that makes their breath offensive.
Tooth decay is most commonly found in two aspects of the teeth. One area is at the top of the teeth which are most often the portions in constant contact with the food we eat. The other area is the zone between the teeth which are usually more hidden and are protected from basic tooth cleaning by the poorly motivated person who just does some perfunctory washing of their mouth. But such washing is seldom sufficient to keep the teeth healthy. It may clean the mouth but not the teeth. Good cleaning of the teeth must include efforts to use a brush which is now a commonplace tool everywhere for at least two minutes at a time and with stroking motions conducted in an up and down manner. The usual practice for most people is to do it across.
On top of that, many people also fail or forget to brush their tongue. Both of them must be done in tandem in order to ensure a healthy mouth. And tooth brushing should be done at least two times a day.
The decaying tooth starts first to develop a hole either at its top or at the side between the two adjacent teeth. Afterwards, the acids produced by the action of bacteria in the mouth causes the enamel to begin to wear much like the tyre of a car. At some points of wear or corrosion, holes develop. These holes get progressively deeper until they reach the layer beneath the hard, bonelike enamel called the dentine which is where the nerves are. That is when the pain begins. It is also the softer part of the tooth and when the damage reaches that area, the tooth is guaranteed to literally get destroyed from the inside. It is these various stages of tooth damage that a dentist looks out for during their examination that will guide the treatment you get. They use reflective mirrors to conduct these tests and X-rays are also included. Following all of that, it is possible to determine what kind of treatment you should be getting.
Treatment for dental caries, or tooth decay, is divided into four different types. The most common type of treatment is the filling of the tooth which almost everyone has heard of. There are various materials for doing this and the aim is to patch over the defect that has formed in the affected tooth so that it can function normally. The other mode of treatment is to have a crown done especially when the resulting defect in the tooth has left a rather large gap. In another form of treatment, the pulp of the tooth which contains the damaged nerves together with the blood vessels is removed by a dental surgeon and the whole area is filled up and reinforced with a crown. That is known as the root canal treatment. The last type of treatment available is the one everyone seems to know about and perhaps go for; that is extraction. The reason for this last option is perhaps that most people will present late in the hospital and often there are no meaningful choices left and the tooth is simply removed.

Cold Showers vs. Hot Showers: Which One Is Better?
If a hot shower is what your body craves in the morning, you’re not alone. The majority of people crank the handle all the way up in order to feel the warm water all over their body. But did you know that cold showers should also have a place in your daily routine?
That’s right — cold showers. The ones you dread to take when you’re the last person to get up in the morning. But, if you give them a fair chance, you might find that you actually like how you feel after taking one.
Regardless of how you feel about either type of shower, research shows that both hot and cold showers have health benefits you should be aware of.
What’s so great about cold showers?
Benefits of taking a cold shower include:
calming itchy skin
waking you up
increasing circulation
reducing muscle soreness post-workout
potentially boosting weight loss
glowing hair and skin
Cold showers calm itchy skin
Adam Friedman, MD, says if you have itchy skin or skin conditions that cause you to itch, cold showers can help you overcome the sensation to scratch.
Cold showers help you wake up in the morning
When that cold spray hits your body, there’s a bit of shock. This shock increases:
oxygen intake
heart rate
alertness
Cold showers increase your circulation
Increased circulation is one of the top reasons experts recommend cold showers. As cold water hits your body and external limbs, it causes your blood to circulate at faster rates to maintain ideal body temperature.
In that sense, a cold shower has the opposite effect of a hot shower for someone with hypertension or cardiovascular disease, since exposure to cold temperatures triggers the circulatory system to reduce inflammation and can help prevent cardiovascular disease.
Cold showers help reduce muscle soreness after intense workouts
Since cold water has regenerative properties, your muscles will relax and repair after a tough workout.
Cold showers may help boost weight loss
Some fat cells, such as brown fat, can generate heat by burning fat. They do this when your body is exposed to cold conditions like in a shower.
Gerrit Keferstein, MD, says these cells are mostly situated around the neck and shoulder area. So, perfect for showers!
Cold showers give your skin and hair a healthy glow
Wellness expert, Dr. Jacqueline Schaffer, MD, says that cold water tightens and constricts the blood flow which gives your skin and hair a healthier glow.
If you’re convinced a cold shower is totally out of the question, you might want to rethink your philosophy. Because unlike the long list of benefits that come with taking a cold shower, the list of cons is surprisingly quite short.
The cons of cold showers:
Cold showers might not be a good idea if you’re already cold, since the cooler temperature isn’t going to help warm you up by any means. It could actually make you even colder and increase the amount of time it will take for your body to warm back up.
They may not be a good idea if you’re sick, either. Initially, the cold temperature might be too hard on your immune system, so it’s best to ease into the cooler temperatures.
Why do we like hot showers?
If you have trouble relaxing or falling asleep at night, you might be tempted to take a hot shower to ease the stress of the day. This is a common practice for muscle relaxation before going to sleep because hot showers activate the parasympathetic nervous system which makes us tired, says Keferstein.
Other benefits of hot showers include:
providing relief from respiratory symptoms
helping with blemishes
muscle relaxation
Hot showers provide relief from cold or respiratory symptoms
Standing in a hot shower with the steam surrounding you has long been used as a natural remedy to reduce cold and cough symptoms. The heat from the water and the steam can help to:
open airways
loosen up phlegm
clear out your nasal passages
Hot showers help with blemishes
Hot showers can help to open up the pores of the skin, which allows you to clean out the trapped dirt and oil.
Hot showers are good for muscle relaxation
Being in hot water effectively relieves body tension and can soothe muscle fatigue.
But yes, your beloved hot shower does have some downsides. But the good news is, you don’t have to give them up completely. You just need to turn down the temperature a bit and take care of your skin afterward.
The cons of hot showers include:
Hot showers can dry out and irritate your skin. Schaffer says the hot water causes damage to the keratin cells which are located on our most outer layer of the skin — the epidermis. By disrupting these cells, it creates dry skin and prevents the cells from locking in moisture.
They can make also certain skin conditions worse. Higher temperatures make it easier for the skin to dry out and worsen conditions like eczema.
Hot showers can cause you to itch. Friedman says the heat can cause mast cells (which contain histamine) to release their contents in the skin and cause itching.
They can increase your blood pressure, too. If you have problems with high blood pressure or cardiovascular disease, taking a shower that’s too hot can make these conditions worse.
So, which type is better?
There are obvious benefits to both hot and cold showers, so what should you do? Well, in an ideal world, Friedman says you should take a lukewarm shower — so it’s tolerable — and apply a moisturizer to damp skin after bathing.
Another approach to try is what Keferstein describes as a contrast shower, which is an age-old technique developed by Dr. Sebastian Kneipp.
Basically, you get the water as cold as possible and stand in it for one minute. When the minute is up, you then change the water to as hot as you can handle for an additional minute. Alternate between one minute each of cold and hot for three to five cycles.
He said the health benefits come from the cold water constricting the blood vessels. This means all the blood will go to the middle of the body. The hot water will open the blood vessels and all the blood comes rushing out again. This can pump the blood completely through the muscles and organs and is great for regeneration and detoxification.

Harmattan season is slowly creeping in,

#Harmattan is a season whereby the weather is cold and causes dryness and dust.
#Harmattan affects our health in many ways: our skin, eyes and respiratory tract most vulnerable to the effects of this weather.
The skin suffers dryness with accompanying cracking of lips,
soles of the feet and sometimes the skin itself. The eyes also suffer from the abundance of dust particles carried along by the winds, thus itching, foreign body sensations and redness may be common especially in those with allergic eye diseases.
A lot of diseases are easily triggered due to this change in weather and lots of care must be taken to avoid fatal consequences.
Here are a few tips on how to make it through this dry patch;
1. Drink lots of water!
2. Avoid carbonated soft drinks. They dehydrate your skin quite bad.
3. Avoid antiseptic soaps during this
weather. Use them only when you
have a skin infection it is meant to treat. Use it even then for a short period and stop.
4. Keep the skin healthy by applying
oily creams and wearing weather
friendly clothing.
5. Use lip balms and apply Vaseline to the soles of the feet to prevent them from cracking.
6. Remember to keep your hair
moisturized and also do hairstyles that keep your hair ends hidden. You can also wrap up your hair to protect it from the dust.
7. Wear warm clothes; they will protect you from the severe cold.
8. Rinse your eyes with clean water
and reduce the exposure to the dust
by wearing protective spectacles.
9. Asthma patients or those with
chronic respiratory conditions should pay special attention to their health and take all possible and practicable measures to reduce exposure to the dusty atmosphere and they should carry their inhalers with them at all times.
10. Sicklers should be vigilant and
keep warm as much as possible to
prevent any crisis.
11. Due to the dusty atmosphere we
should practice a healthy food
preservation culture. Fruits and
vegetables should be properly washed before eating and those of us that store our drinking water should always ensure that the containers are always adequately covered.
12. We can also keep our homes warm but please be careful as this is also the season when we have the most fire accidents. All fires should not be left unattended and we should avoid indiscriminate burning of refuse during this season.
