Dr. Sylvester Ikhisemojie

In discussing matters of health concern, it is often the case that we focus a lot on things which contribute to good health practices and the outcome we all want. However, there are certain situations in life in which difficult choices have to be made to sacrifice one or more organs in order that life can continue with as little discomfort as possible. Sometimes, these problems are as a result of hideous injuries where there is no possibility of salvage and sometimes, they result from disasters like cancer. At any rate, it is important to appreciate here that the loss of such organs does not mean the end of life, but rather an opportunity to adjust to the new realities so that a second chance can be obtained. In the paragraphs below, we shall be looking at some of these organs and the conditions that might cause the radical decision to do away with them.

One common organ that many people have lost and have carried on living normally without is the appendix. It is usually surgically removed once it becomes inflamed and begins to cause a lot of abdominal pain, fever and vomiting. The functions of that appendage are not fully understood and there is no evidence to indicate that the people who no longer have it are missing something.

Another organ that can be done away with in similar circumstances of pain, infection and fever is the gall bladder. In addition, it may harbour stones which would add to the likelihood of pain and it can actually cause a lot of misery to those who have these features. As a result of that combination, the convenient thing offered most patients is the removal of the organ with little or no ill-effects.

The other organ that many people have lost and carried on living without is the spleen. This is called a lymphoid organ whose major role in the body is the filtration of particles from the blood. These particles may have to do with red blood cells that are deformed by disease or invaded by parasites like the malaria parasite, plasmodium. It is also a frontline organ of defence for the body and an important part of the immune system. However, in certain situations such as the tropical splenomegaly syndrome seen in people with frequent attacks of malaria or in people with the SS and SC genotypes, the organ may be removed to improve the quality of life. With adequate care using antibiotics judiciously and providing vaccination against some common forms of bacterial infections, people who have had their spleen removed live normally.

One surprising organ we can live without is the stomach. The operation to remove the stomach is known as gastrectomy and it may be partial or total. The total gastrectomy which is the removal of the entire stomach is the more profound one and it is the only choice when a person has got a particularly aggressive form of stomach cancer that is still limited to the walls of the organ. The survivor of such a terrible disease condition is then compelled to eat small meals at frequent intervals of two hours or four hours to avoid some of the more challenging side effects of having lost the stomach. That is known as the dumping syndrome when the alimentary canal is presented with a sudden influx of a large amount of food at once. Dizziness, sweating, abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea can occur as a result and this is all very distressing for the patient who would then also lose weight.

The same is true of the large intestine or colon where conditions like its total involvement by Hirschsprung’s disease seen in children or Crohn’s disease can pave the way for such radical treatment. In either case, the entire colon can be removed surgically and normal life can actually go on with profound changes in the frequency with which food is eaten. It is thus possible to live without the large intestine. That is not true for the small intestine where some of the most important things to do with digestion and absorption of nutrients take place.

The sex organs can also be lost with no significant changes in the pattern of life except for the psychological import of it. This is particularly true in situations where the choice to lose such organs was determined by a disease condition rather than a voluntary one. Accordingly, men who develop cancer of the penis will often have to have the entire penis removed. The necessary provision for them to be able to urinate normally will of course be ensured but sexual intercourse is a lost attribute. The same is not true for women who lose their womb either because they have endometrial cancer or they develop huge fibroids that necessitate the removal of the uterus. Since the vagina is spared, sex is still possible without any ill-effects.

When there is bladder cancer, the entire urinary bladder can be removed and an artificial pouch can then be created using small intestine as a holding bag for the urine. Usually, such people lose their ability to regulate their urine and often have to time it using some kind of warning device. With time, they are able to time it almost precisely with practice and maturity. In children, this is a challenge always.

The eyes are something we can also do without. As terrifying as it looks here, there are millions of people across the world who have lost their sight and live healthily with their adversity. When the loss involves one eye, it is almost like both eyes are present. When it is both eyes involved, certain challenges are inevitable but good health can be preserved. When people like Steve Wonder are considered, it can be appreciated that so much is possible even without the eyes being able to see normally.

Another such organ is the kidney whereby normal living is possible with one organ only. There are many situations which can make this particular situation happen. Cancer of the kidney is one such condition and so is multi-cystic kidney. In either condition, it is usually normal to excise the diseased kidney so as to protect the individual from further damage. The remaining healthy kidney can carry on the work of filtering the blood of its impurities in a normal way. There may be some increase in the individual size of its cells just as a form of adaptation. This enables the lone kidney to continue its work and to take up the extra workload being left behind by the removed kidney.

Finally, the lungs are another organ which the body can comfortably live without even when one is removed. Cancer in one lung, tuberculosis that has destroyed one lung or a lung crushed as a result of an accident are some of the common reasons why one lung might be removed. Normal breathing could be slightly more difficult at the beginning but over time, the remaining lung develops an increased ability to cope with the extra load that is required. At 82 years, the current Pope Francis has had one lung since his teenage years and that has not slowed him down in any way

Yes, i was with him. He drained the oil that came with it and poured in the Mobil 1.
But then again, when they brought the car in July, i observed that the bonnet was hot, so i called the attention of the dealer and he said the car has to work to an extent before the cooling fan starts working but i was not pleased as i was scared that the car might develop fault if it gets too hot , so i told the mechanic to make sure the cooling fan start working immediately i put on the engine which he did by just connecting one of the wire to the bonnet but he did not remove the thermostat because he warned me not to allow anyone tamper with it.

pls return to factory for your own good sir

muyiwaadekunle1:
My Egbon eherbal, na God talk say make i ask that check engine light question from Aunty Radu , i for don wreck the car i started driving last week with the check engine light on. I even read about it on Google and that one also deceived me that its nothing serious except its flashing on the odometer but i was not convinced because when they brought it, there was nothing of such, not until they serviced it with Mobil 1 ,5w-30 and that's what the manual specified (5w-30) .
I am still waiting for support@radautoworks.com for the quote of a can leak detector and diagnosis.
Taxify hustle don dey sweet my belle for the 3days i worked pass the 50k job i dey do before before AC started blowing hot .

bro,I'll advice you go for comprehensive diagnosis to detect fault.only hope your catalytic converter has not been tampered with?where you with the mechanic when the service was being carried out? Pls be honest with the question.
Don't let any mechanic remove your thermostat o.theyll tell you it's a preventive measure against overheating as we have hot weather here in africa.thats a fallacy bro.texas wey hot pass kano,dia moto dey use thermostat and dem no dey remove am.

Nor worry I go set you up nor be big daddy u they find I go make sure I draw you to some where you never be for your life,if person say come and see the car u must come they you go tell the remaining story here

if truly you're a soldier,you don't deserve the uniform.you're a bully and a misfit.im sure you were a nobody before you were fortunate to be enlisted.its the uniform that gave you form. If you know you're very sure of yourself,upload your pics here with your service no.i promise you your barracks will get a signal for your transfer to where your mates are in the core north, engaging terrorists.
I'm sure you've never been on any tour of duty or special assignment at that, because if you have,you would've been humbled and disciplined. We've had nuisances like you here before. they were dealt with.this is your first and last warning coward.behave yourself.this is not your barracks.

tojahh:
Tough day!


Just lost my mum about an hour ago

sorry about your mom tojahh.may the Almighty give you the strength to bear the loss bro.be the man .be strong

radautoworks:
Thunder fire both the mechanic and your friend!

ah ah.aunty I af vex.anyways ignorance na disease.this mechanics be killing cars on arrival.

ifyeez:
I was cold about it too, until one day a friend showed me his winnings and how he does it, that's how I got involved, today that friend is owing me 500k, and no means of paying back,
they have collected all, like dey did to me. If you want to know how deep people are in, download sofascore app, read comments of people that staked on live bets, my brother people are losing so much money as we speak, Juventus just played draw 0.0 goal less, people have lost so much on it
I wish I used my money to buy more cars for uber than playing that 2.0 odds shit, or even opened clothing shops like I planned on

this is a lesson for chronic and would be gamblers. I used to be a career one too.loooong before Baba IJEBU,talkless of online betting. I rolled dice,and was damn good at it.peeps thought I was using voodoo.the truth of the matter is that gamblers are never successful.I stand to be corrected.the addiction is worse than cocaine.ive seen best friends nearly take their lives because of gambling.families and relationships destroyed. This is what is breeding greed,hate and malice in this generation.armed robbery and other vice is a gambling offshoot. It was by the grace of the Almighty that took me off that grid. Pls try within your might and effort to desist from it,it is an evil enterprise.
I heard someone here say that you shouldn't stake more than you can afford to lose,but trust me bro,that's a big,fallacious lie,because by the time you keep losing what you can afford in a streak,you're still the loser.add it all up and you'd be shocked and surprised at the humongous amount lost over a period of time. Easy money is recklessly spent.even if you decide to invest it in a business,it will never prosper.the holy Bible and the holy Quran forbids it in very strong terms.
Pls let's all be guided. Remember folks, the house never loses. The gamblers creed is a lie.a fool and his money are soon parted

Just hope the police station is not privy to these kidnappings? the rifle recovered might just be theirs.

Kudos to the bus driver,the soldiers, hunters,and everyone that made the rescue a succees

izzou:
Is your house in a gated compound?

Most corolla heists I've seen are usually those parked along the streets

it's gated bro,but what about other areas i go to without gates.at times I have to cook up different excuses to take something from the car,when in reality I'm checking if it's safe or if they're some suspicious People around.how long I'm I gonna keep up dat kinda appearance?

benchovic11:
I need a very smart and experienced driver who has a strong guarantor for this Corolla 07, it's brand new and it's for the purpose of UBER biz.

XGhost:
Be cautious driving on the island weekends, early morning and late at night... Treat everyone like they're coming from the club and inebriated

mainland is worst bro.hardly any weekend that a fatal or near fatal accident doesn't go down on agidingbi or its environs. defensive driving is highly recommended

tojahh:
My condolences to the bereaved. So bad!

Woke up today to meet a neighbor's corolla naked. Tapping glass, Brain box, stereo, front abs back window controllers even the door lock


Men I just weak.

lilachiever:
What a way to die! Someone that woke up so early so as to fend for himself and take care of his family is now dead because of one idiot that was "living life" with a supposedly unclean source of income.


May the lost rest in peace and may God grant his family the fortitude to bear the loss. Amen

this is so sad.i feel sorry for the deceased family and the driver of the other vehicle.even if he gets out of this,he's going to be saddled with the pain of taking a life for the rest of his life.May Almighty Allah protect our going out and coming in. this is sad

deedee44:
I did exactly this at that same spot, traffic was moving slower so there was no way I could have escaped so immediately I noticed one lastma guy recording my car with his phone and the other went to the middle Lane I just pulled back to the main express and went to pass onikan. You need to see the disappointing expression on the face of the one that was recording, in his mind.. Eran lo

EgunMogaji2:
Ultimately you’ll need to do what you think is best for you but for me it’s just sheer insanity to be this nauseous about imported oil.

As long as the oil meets the spec from the manufacturer then I really don’t care about the source. Like I said I have adjusted my OCI to be much shorter due to the extreme conditions that I operate my vehicles in over here.

Now, the caveat emptor, if you have a Ferrari, Lamborghini, and other vehicles with strict specs then sure import, not the 5 gallon but the drums if you can.


When I read of guys on here all frazzled about import oil to use in Camry, Accord, I just laugh.

But to each his own.

what about the downside sir? fuel consumption, engine sound,engine wear,engine response etc

Eddee:
A W211 E klasse

that's a masterpiece bro.a German mistake.just looked it up on Google now.enjoy.

Eddee:
Yes synthetic to mineral. Engine is at almost 400k km. And already I top a quartz on average every 3,500 km with the synthetic high mileage Mobil 1 oil I've been using. My brother, as for higher fuel consumption, what could possibly go wrong? I'm not bothered about those minute details (it's a Benz, 19-21 litres per 100km city driving. 14-16 litres per 100 km Highway driving).
As for sludge, I'll change the mineral oil every 2 months or 3,000 km. I'm certain to reach 3000km every 6 weeks, and besides shorter commutes are worse than the long distance movement I embark on a weekly basis since it takes the oil time to warm up. As for engine noise, this is a bulletproof M112 engine, it's dirt cheap and they don't die that easily... Sadly Mercedes Benz doesn't build them like this anymore.

Roger that bro.from what I can deduce from what you posted ,older engines are probably synthetic intolerant.what kinda Benz do you drive sir?

EgunMogaji2:
I really wish that there’s a lab here that can readily test oils.

I’m not convinced that importing engine oils is prudent. We’ll eat local food, take local medicine but won’t use local oil in disposable vehicle parts

evening sir.are you saying we an use our local mineral oil (like Forte)as against foreign full synthetic that has been recommended by manufacturers? pls help out on this cause your answers may determine a lot of things that's bothering me.thanks

Eddee:
Let's see how it goes. I'll switch on my next change

when you say "switch",are you switching from synthetic to mineral oil? though I hear Forte oil is top notch,they only produce mineral not synthetic (I may be wrong).don't you think they'd be consequences like higher fuel consumption,louder engine noise and the dreaded sludge?

izzou:
You see too much

Let me sprinkle some holy water on your eyes

tah dia! no be for hia I bust una,although I don dey suspect una since.report yaself to cooladex for further instructions
