HealthRe: I Need Urgent Dental Advise. by Elemosho: 8:30pm On May 30, 2013
I have sometin similar too...it is major but not as major as this. I just finished doing scaling and polishing...a little painful. I'm now thinking of resetting my teeth but the idea of carrying braces for long time is my prob as I am an office person. I'm covered under health plan so I'm not worried about the cost.

EducationRe: Unilag Msc Actuarial Science Or Society Of Actuary? by Elemosho: 8:40am On May 23, 2013
The reason why SOA (US) or Institute of Actuaries UK doesn't recognize degree in actuarial science from university of lagos is because none of the lecturers or professors in the department are member of the society, as a result the curricula of university of lagos degree is very different from the society or institute. I am a student member of institute of Actuaries, graduated from university of lagos in 2007 and I have been in the industry since then. 2months ago I went to one of the professors in the department and complained badly about the need for a change in the dept curricula and the response was that they are currently working on it. Apparently, some of the new lecturers have started writing the society examination. I. Hope very soon things would change but right now no exemptions no recognition. Cheers
HealthRe: How To Survive A Heart Attack When Alone by Elemosho: 4:13pm On Mar 07, 2013
You should always do proper research before spreading shits. The message is an hoax mail. Most of all those things that involves you sharing are hoax.


Read below

Detailed Analysis
An email forward that offers spurious advice about how to survive a heart attack has been continually circulating around the Internet since at least 1999.

So called "cough CPR" is not a technique recommended or condoned by medical professionals The message outlines a technique for surviving a heart attack while alone that involves vigorous coughing. According to the email, a cardiologist has advised forwarding the message to others in order to save lives. However, the alleged cardiologist is not named, nor is there any reference to a reputable medical institution. In my opinion, any life-critical "medical advise" that is not supported by credible reference material should be used with extreme caution.

It should be noted that the cough procedure outlined in the email is not, in itself, a hoax and has been researched and tested by medical experts. In fact, so called "Cough CPR" might be beneficial under certain controlled circumstances. However, this does not mean that the advice in the email message is valid and useful. The most important factor to consider is that, according to medical experts, cough CPR should only be performed under strict professional supervision.

According to the American Heart Association, "the usefulness of 'cough CPR' is generally limited to monitored patients with a witnessed arrest in the hospital setting". The American Heart Association article also notes:
The American Heart Association does not endorse "cough CPR," a coughing procedure widely publicized on the Internet. As noted in the 2010 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care, “cough CPR” is not useful for unresponsive victims and should not be taught to lay rescuers.
Moreover, the Resuscitation Council in the UK "knows of no evidence that, even if a lone patient knew that cardiac arrest had occurred, he or she would be able to maintain sufficient circulation to allow activity, let alone driving to the hospital".

A victim would probably be better off directing his or her energy towards other life saving options such as seeking immediate help or calling the emergency number. The American Heart Association article also states:
The best strategy is to be aware of the early warning signs for heart attack and cardiac arrest and respond to them by calling [the emergency number in your country]. If you're driving alone and you start having severe chest pain or discomfort that starts to spread into your arm and up into your jaw (the scenario presented in the Internet article), pull over and flag down another motorist for help or phone [the emergency number in your country] on a cellular telephone.
Heart patient support organization Mended Hearts has also debunked the procedure:
Despite a contagious rumor, coughing doesn't prevent a heart attack. An e-mail that spread around the world like a contagious disease a few years ago claimed that anyone who feels heart attack symptoms while alone should cough "repeatedly and very vigorously, repeating a breath about every two seconds…until help arrives, or (a normal heartbeat returns)."
