I just came back from the LGI, I was told to go home and wait until they get directives from Abuja

LGI in the new state or your initial state of deployment?

talk2chukaben:
I was told to visit the initial state that i was deployed before relocating.

Who told you? You went to the state secretariat of the new state you redeployed to?

Starke:
I am a young professional sharing a room and parlour self contain with a friend. Now my friend has always been in the habit of bringing all sorts of girls to the house. This is a conduct which I have tried my best to ignore in order to allow peace to reign.

At some point he brought this particular girl and she stayed for sometime with us. From my conversations with her, she has an impressive body count and really dislikes condoms. At some point, she became very sick. Had white patches in her mouth and was very feverish. We had to take her to the hospital so she doesn't die in the house. The Doctor ran several tests on her and her HIV status was positive.

About a week later, I took my laptop to work and when I returned, I dipped my hands in the bag to retrieve my key only to be severely cut by a razor blade my roommate left in the bag. I asked him who owns it and he said he it belongs to the girl and he put it there hoping to dispose of it later. My heart bled. I rushed that night at about 9:45pm to Ikoyi military hospital to get PEP, but the hospital said I have to wait until the next day as the pharmacy had closed. The next morning at about 11:00am, after a lot of delay, I finally got the anti retroviral drugs.

Now after taking the drugs for about 3 days, the side effects were terrible and unbearable. I already had a subsisting kidney problem and the drugs was making it worse so I had to stop. What I want to know is what are my chances if I permanently discontinue the drugs? Am I going to seroconvert? I am scared shitless and if this happens to make me HIV+, I am seriously considering suicide.

Pls help me people.

Pls help me to move this post. I need to get as much input as possible.

The virus typically cannot survive outside a livung host for longer than a few minutes, so if this happened a whole week later, you are fine

My cousin who got married this year July is actually thinking of leaving the marriage because the husband was diagnosed of Kidney failure and needs a transplant. The summary of the story is that the family of the man is expecting the newly married wife to donate one of her kidney to the man because my cousin is biological match to the husband, she and her family has said LAI LIA O, that his their child and they should find a way to go about it. After dragging this issues for some months na, my cousin family are pushing her to file for a divorce

a. would it be considered wickedness on her part considering, his not only the husband but PARTLY trained her in school too?

The marriage is less than a year no much money to even look for a seller, Aunty want to japa and leave the man

What do you think?

Do not let the charlatan deceive your cousin into giving hin one of her kidneys. Chronic renal disease is a progressive process that culminates in failure. So the man must have known he had the ailment but chose to hide it. The marriage was built on lies from the first instance. I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but he should find alternative means. Your cousin would be very unwise to acquiesce his demands. On top wetin? 2 months marriage?

lovelygurl:
Yep that's what I meant.

Regardless of staring, every adult out there should know that it's impossible to menstruate for 2 weeks. Wtf

'Two weeks preceding menstruation', I said. Please, read carefully before quoting me. Thanks.

Benita27:
You bored me with your long epistle, and I don't seem to get the correlation between what you just explained and consistent mood swing.

It doesn't work that way na. Have you seen a woman whose period comes on the 15th of every month?...I mean, by virtue of menstruation. Use your calender and count 28days from the day it starts, you'll notice that on each month, the date changes...it's not consistent. Mood swings occurs rarely, let me assume it occurs on every month of her menstruation which isn't true 'cause I'm also a lady who may have experienced mood swings. How long is it meant to last?. It's a fallacy that mood swing would last as long as two weeks on each month. If she's not cheating then she has a mental issue.

The 'mood swings' are part of a constellation of symptoms that constitute the premenstrual Syndrome(PMS). About 75% of women will experience this in their lifetime. However, in about 10% of women, it can be so severe as to warrant visit to a doctor. I believe the Op's SO is one of them.

My 'long epistle' was just to explain to you the pathophysiology of PMS. And I already admitted to you in my 'long, boring epistle'that in most women, cycle lengths vary (21-35days) normally. However, this does not invalidate the fact that few women have regular 28-day cycles.

lovelygurl:
What the hell where you doing in biology class?!

Staring at you

P.S. I think you meant 'were'

Benita27:
You're wrong. No woman menstruates on the last two weeks of each month, consistently. Cycle changes. Count 28days from the first day it starts and tell me if you'll have this theory you postulated?. That's even the more reason why mood wings aren't consistent in nature.

cycle lengths vary between 21-35 days, with a mean at 28days. There are a few women who have a regular 28-day cycles and my answer presupposes that she is one of them.

The menstrual cycle is divided into the follicular and luteal phases. The follicular phase culminates in ovulation and the luteal phase begins thereafter. NO MATTER THE CYCLE LENGTH, THE LUTEAL PHASE LASTS FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS. The luteal phase culminates in the sloughing of the uterine endometrium, characterised by bleeding per vagina (Menstruation).

The point is, the PMS must occur in THE TWO WEEKS PRECEDING MENSTRUATION. This is due to the fact that before menstruation, there is a marked increase in progesterone production and progesterone is implicated in PMS (I will not bore you with the pathophysiology)

So you see then, why the 'two weeks' is striking. And why I had to assume she has a regular 28-day cycle.

londoner:
Do you think maybe they could not afford it?

Maybe she had other children that came out with no defect. Do people in the village go to antenatal? It's something mother's should always do but don't always have access or the correct level of education or awareness.

Gosh in everything the African woman is to be blamed and taunted no matter what.

I'm sorry if my post came off as blaming the woman. Actually I was annoyed with the people who were trying to sensationalise the news with auch statements as 'the devil is always haunting pregnant women..."

Benita27:
This behaviour has absolutely nothing to do with mood-swing as for those of you who suggested that. Mood-swings aren't consistent in nature. I haven't seen a woman whose mood-swing is usually the last two weeks of the month on every month.

Op, she's dating someone else. The period she's physically and emotionally detached from you means she's attached to someone else at these period and not mood-swing. It doesn't work that way by nature.

The fact that the 'mood swings' come in the last two weeks of the month is striking. It's usually one of the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome

Eniitan19:
I met a girl five months ago. She is a graduate, in her late 20s and very beautiful. Being that I am eagerly looking for a girl to marry, I made my intention known to her immediately we met. She did not say ''yes'' or ''no'' but rather advised that we should let the relationship run its natural course as answer will come naturally.

Being that she's beautiful, sexy and both of us are no longer kids, we allow sex to take place in the relationship. Although I like the sex part of it, but I observe that she reacts differently to me, as in she reacts in a particular way in one part of the month and in opposite way in the remaining part of the month.

For about two weeks in a month, she will be too friendly, lovely, demands less in terms of materials thing, cares much more, and above all demands for too much sex to the extent that I begin to wonder if she is human.

For the other two weeks, she is opposite of what she exhibited earlier. This is when she will recognize my supposed flaws like not being a fashion freak, not concerned about her materials needs, etc. She will never allow me to even kiss her and she prefers we see each other less this period. This is the period she will even prefer traveling out of the state to buy goods for her business. Towards the end of this ''two weeks sojourn'' there will be gradual change of attitude and the whole things will become normal again.

I have been trying to know why these changes but could still not be able to get reasonable answers. She is from Edo State while I am Ondo's.

Is there anyone that can explain probable cause of this strange behaviour?

The symptoms you have described are consistent with premenstrual syndrome(PMS)- A constellation of cyclical physical and behavioural changes that occur in women after ovulation, but in the 1-2weeks before menstruation.

The behavioural changes include: depression, irritability (being on "the edge", anxiety, restlessness, etc.

While most women suffer from PMS , a few will be severely distressed by this syndrome and should therefore see a doctor, if so.

The devil has nothing to do with this. This is a neural Tube Defect, caused by Folate deficiency. Go for Antenatal care, they won't go. Later they will blame the devil

The National TB and Leprosy Control Program in line with the WHO recommendation has strongly recommended the use of GeneXpert for the diagnosis of TB in all populations as the first test. Its more sensitive and specific and can indicate Rifampicin resistance which is a pointer to Multiple Drug Resistant TB, an emerging and deadly problem in the fight against TB. Mantoux test is soooooo nonspecific!

Thanks for the info, chief. Although I did point out it is non-specific

sayyid:
to the best of my knowledge sir, Mantoux test is not the appropriate test for Tuberculosis so far you've taken BCG it will always test positive.
The best test for Tuberculosis are
1. AFB test.
2. GeneXpert test
3. Culture

You're right chief. Mantoux test is not the most definitive test. That is why I said it is only a first step. Also, the mantoux test is NOT said to be positive just because it produces an area of induration(Hard, fibrous area). It will always produce an in duration as long as one has had the BCG Vaccine, as you rightly pointed out. Positivity is to be determined by the clinician, based on the scenario and history

5-9mm in duration is positive test in an immunosupressed patient. Or a patient who has recently been treated for TB. If a patient has for example HIV/AIDS, productive cough and hemoptysis of 3 weeks duration and the mantoux test produces an in duration of the aforementioned diameter, there is no need wasting the patients money doing sputum AFB or GeneXpert.

10-14mm induration is positive in people who have been exposed to TB patients for example

15mm and above could be said to be positive in people with no known risk of TB.

in the latter two groups, the test is only a pointer for further definitive tests.

Also, the sputum AFB is not the most definitive test for the tuberculin bacili too. Because the bacteria is not always present in the sputum and sometimes, it is not present in sufficient amounts into be detected by the test.
The mist definitive test is the GeneXpert.

sayyid:
WHAT IS TUBERCULOSIS

TB is a communicable disease caused by a type of bacterium known as MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS(commonly referred to as TB bacilli). it mainly attacks the lungs, causing pulmonary TB (PTB). the bacteria can also attack other parts of the body such as the spine, lymph nodes, brain,kidneys e.t.c. this is known as extra-pulmonary TB (EPTB).


TRANSMISSION OF TUBERCULOSIS

TB is an airborne disease I. e it is transmitted through the inhalation of air contaminated with TB bacilli into air, therefore transmission is more intense in crowded area , poorly ventilated space with little ambient of sunlight. it can also be transmitted through unprotected cough, sneeze e. t. c from an infected person to and uninfected person.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF TUBERCULOSIS

1. persistent cough for 2weeks or more(it might be less).
2. shortness of breath.
3. loss of appetite.
4. fever
5. weight loss.
6. night sweat.
7. tiredness.
8. chest pain.
9. coughing up blood (haemoptysis).
while signs and symptoms of EPTB depends on the site involved

HOW TO DIAGNOSE TUBERCULOSIS

TB can be diagnosed in the laboratory and this rest mainly on the identification of the tubercle bacilli by any of the following Laboratory methods available.
1. AFB microscopy
2. Genexpert MTB/RIF
3. Culture
this is carried out by collection of a quality clinical specimen which is majorly sputum specimen.


DIAGNOSIS CENTERS.

Each of the 774 local government of Nigeria has at least three diagnosis center with double treatment centers to make accesment easy.

TREATMENT and DIAGNOSIS IS FREE.
INFORMATION IS POWER, CONTACT THE NEAREST HEALTH CENTER IF YOU HAVE OR NOTICE ANY ONE WITH ANY OF THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS AS MENTIONED ABOVE.

www.nationaltbcenter.ucsf.edu

EPIDEMIOLOGY: TB is now largely a disease of the developing world, being predominant in areas where there is overcrowding and poor hygiene. As at 2014, Nigeria was 3rd among the ten predominant TB Areas in the world. It is said that about 600000 people are being infected daily, with 1/6th of that number dying every day.

RISK FACTORS:
Old age- Chances are we all have a latent TB infection being effectively contained by our immune system, with increasing age, these foci could be re-activated, to a secondary infection

Immunosuppression-HIV/AIDS, Poor nutrition, Diabetes Mellitus and othwr conditions that suppress the immune system makes one vulnerable to TB

Contact with someone who has had chronic cough of over two weeks duration

PREVENTION
First thing is the BCG Vaccine
Eatnwell, sleep well, avoid anything that would suppress the immune system

AVOID CONTACT WITH ANYONE WHO HAS CHRONIC COUGH

Also, if you suspect you have TB(Based on the symptoms Op just described), go and do the mantoux test. That is the first step

For the bride to be in white actually signifies that she is a virgin. In deeper life weddings, once it is determined the bride isn't chaste, she isn't permitted to be in white. Any other color goes. But never white.

Not a surprise, though. I wouldn't touch her with a 100 foot pole

But I'm sure, to the groom, she looks like Genevieve+Omotola+Beyonce combined. Wish them well.

Jesuobu:
Another reason why God allow bad things to happen to you even when you’re His child, is not to make you cry but It’s His deliberate act to shape your heart to love Him more. So God allowed those things which you see unfair because He knows a tree that is blown by tough wind does not grow strong root. Everything you face is just to make you strong and eradicate the fear of evil and death.

HAH:
To start with resident doctor are not yet doctors but doctor on training, they are the ones we call baby doctors, so the tittle of this tread is misleading.

The residents doctors are still students but get paid more than level 12 officers in federal civil service.

Residency must not be done in government hospital but for you to be a specialist you must go through residency, so any babydoctor that feel cheated should go to a private hospital for residency where he will paid 25k allawee

Your ignorance is shocking. Absolutely shocking

Gross..
The big thing.. As usual... all students get Clinically oriented anatomy(Keith Moore)
If u r not rili the 'softcopy' person.. I advise u get 2 books on gross.. probably Keith Moore and Chaurasia... There's also one brilliant book that I came across.. can't remember d name but they call it 'Above/Below Diaphragm' The book has 2 volumes... 'Above Diaphragm' and 'below diaphragm'.. if u can get it.. good for u oo.. Most people dnt understand that Keith Moore wastes time.. or maybe I am d only one that sees that..

Good evening bro. With respect to the bolded,which time-efficient text/method do you use in studying gross?
Thanks
