Infectious diseases are a global concern.  Epidemics of influenza, Ebola and cholera impose significant burdens on economies and public health particularly in regions such as Africa where infectious diseases are still a leading cause of death.

Whilst it is encouraging that the WHO estimates that the overall number of deaths due to infectious diseases fell from 12.1 million to 9.5 million between 2000 and 2012, the younger age at which deaths occur than deaths due to other causes; multiple socioeconomic, environmental and ecological factors; emerging infectious diseases, 75% of which are zoonotic in origin; and antimicrobial resistance mean that infectious diseases continue to pose a global threat.

About ISID Fellowship Program 2019

The International Society for Infectious Diseases (ISID) and the European Society for Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) established their joint fellowship program in 2010 to foster international, peer-to-peer collaboration and the exchange of scientific knowledge and best practice.

The program enables young investigators, from low and low-middle income countries outside of the region, to travel to Europe for multidisciplinary clinical and laboratory training.

In the formative stages of their careers, successful applicants are given the opportunity to extend their research experience; learn from experienced infectious disease specialists; and return home with knowledge and processes that will help them improve clinical practice in regions where it most needs strengthening.

With this objective in mind, proposals that enhance the transfer of technologies to geographical areas where they are particularly needed are favored.

Two fellowships of up to US$7,500 and up to three months in duration are awarded annually.

Freelance Writing
A freelance writer in the simplest term is one who writes publications for individuals, magazines media houses etc. for cash without being employed by any particular firm.

Being a freelance writer is quite great. You need to have a vast knowledge of so many things within, around and far away from you. Being a freelance writer entells being your own boss in the writing business. As a freelance writer you will need to have some skills like being good in writing and research, willing to broaden your horizon and able to work under tight schedules as you may be 'forced' to write for several different publications at a time. The more diverse a writer can be, the more likely they are to be published and paid for their work.

Ghost writing is a good pursuit for freelancers looking for money and willing to forgo a byline. Websites are always on the lookout for quality freelancers, too. Create a website to promote your freelance writing business.

The amazing thing about freelance writing and ghost writing is that most of the most popular journals/novels we read are written by them even though other peoples' name appear as the author. You can register on fiverr to get customers to write for. You can also try out as many blogs as possible for clients. Once you are well known and established, you will not necessarily need to hunt for clients anymore.

Bead Making Business
Bead making is one of the businesses that is silently increasing the cash flow of many young Nigerians. Some of the major things about the bead making business is creativity and passion. You can learn the skill from someone who is already in the field or you can go for online tutorials to broaden your knowledge. Which ever way, bead making is one of the sure ways of increasing your cash flow this year.

Graphic Design
This may sound way too common. You may feel there are many graphic designers out there, why is this still on the list? Well the fact is the sky is bring enough for every single star to shine. One thing about this line of business is that you have to come out with something unique BUT guess what, no matter how 'ugly or bad' you think you will be in design, someone out there will appreciate your work.

Entrepreneurs are on the rise in the country currently, they need logos for their start ups, key into this, offer them the graphic services they need and make your own money before they even start making theirs.

All you need do is just get a tutor or register in a graphic design (computer  school) and learn the basics and make awesome superworks from there.

REALITY
Hope you know reality is not a business (just saying). Ehm, I have taken some time out to pen down some of these business ideas and I have tried to make it look quite cool and easy. Believe me, startups are NO easy tasks, it is not for the faint in heart, it is not for people who want to be calling others Boss all the days of their life, it is not for people who want to spend the res of their lives being scared of getting sack letters. It is for people who are ready the great price of sacrifice, endurance and persistence to make sure the future is bright for them and their kids (born or unborn).

Challenges are sure to abound, but one thing is certain. With the creator, there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Started something and you feel like giving up, don't think of why you started it (because chances are you just wanted to try something) think of the future, 3-4 years from now, where will I be, HOLD ON NEVER QUIT. QUIT QUITTING. PATIENCE IS KEY

It is one of the most dreaded health conditions all around the world. The name cancer has actually become a household name in the medical practice owing to it's variety and awareness being made in order to curb the disease.

According to the World Health Organization, cancer is the second leading cause of death globally, and is responsible for an estimated 9.6 million deaths in 2018. Globally, about 1 in 6 deaths is due to cancer.

To the dismay of many, one third of deaths from cancer are due to either one or more of the underlisted 5 leading behavioral and dietary risks;

High body mass index
Low fruit and vegetable intake
Lack of physical activity
Tobacco use
Alcohol use.
Among the aforementioned causes, tobacco use is the most important risk factor for cancer and is responsible for approximately 22% of cancer deaths around the world. Cancer causing infections, such as hepatitis and human papilloma virus (HPV), are responsible for up to 25% of cancer cases in low- and middle-income countries.

The earliest known descriptions of cancer appeared in several papyri from Ancient Egypt. The Edwin Smith Papyrus was written around 1600 BC (possibly a fragmentary copy of a text from 2500 BC) and contains a description of cancer, as well as a procedure to remove breast tumours by cauterization.

Hippocrates (ca. 460 BC – ca. 370 BC) described several kinds of cancer, referring to them by the term karkinos (carcinos), the Greek word for crab or crayfish, as well as carcinoma.


What Is Cancer?
According to the World Health organization,

Cancer is a generic term for a large group of diseases that can affect any part of the body. Other terms used are malignant tumours and neoplasms. One defining feature of cancer is the rapid creation of abnormal cells that grow beyond their usual boundaries, and which can then invade adjoining parts of the body and spread to other organs, the latter process is referred to as metastasizing. Metastases are a major cause of death from cancer.
Cancer causes cells to divide uncontrollably resulting in tumors, damage to the immune system, and other fatal impairment.

Types Of Cancer
There are well over 90 types of cancer. Some include;

Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL)
Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML)
Adrenal gland tumours
Anal cancer
Bile duct cancer
Bladder cancer
Bone cancer

Lyme disease, also known as Lyme borreliosis, is an infectious disease caused by a bacterium named Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato found in and spread by ticks.

The tick becomes infected after feeding on infected deer or mice. The infection is spread to humans by a bite from an infected black-legged or deer tick.

Symptom of Lyme Disease
Just like hypertension, Lyme disease can affect multiple body systems and produce a broad range of symptoms.

It is important to note that not all patients with Lyme disease have all symptoms, and many of the symptoms are not specific to Lyme disease, but can occur with other diseases, as well.

The most common sign of lyme disease in the early stage is an expanding area of redness on the skin, known as erythema migrans, that appears at the site the tick bite about a week or two after the bite.

Lyme disease causes a rash, often in a bull's-eye pattern, and flu-like symptoms. Joint pain and weakness in the limbs can occur as well.

In the second stage usually referred to as the early disseminated stage when the bacteria has started spreading throughout the body, symptoms such as chills, fever, enlarged lymph nodes, sore throat, vision changes, fatigue, muscle aches, headaches, will occur.

If still left untreated, the disease will get to the third stage referred to as late disseminated stage and this stage is characterized by severe headaches, arthritis of one or more large joints, disturbances in heart rhythm, brain disorders (encephalopathy) involving memory, mood, and sleep, short-term memory loss, difficulty concentrating, mental fogginess, problems following conversations, numbness in the arms, legs, hands, or feet.

The rash is typically neither itchy nor painful.  If untreated, symptoms may include loss of the ability to move one or both sides of the face, joint pains, severe headaches with neck stiffness, or heart palpitations, among others. Months to years later, repeated episodes of joint pain and swelling may occur.

Occasionally, people develop shooting pains or tingling in their arms and legs. Despite appropriate treatment, about 10 to 20% of people develop joint pains, memory problems, and tiredness for at least six months.

Causes Of Lyme Disease
Lyme disease is caused by spirochetes, spiral bacteria from the genus Borrelia. Spirochetes are surrounded by peptidoglycan and flagella, along with an outer membrane similar to other Gram-negative bacteria. Because of their double-membrane envelope, Borrelia bacteria are often mistakenly described as Gram negative despite the considerable differences in their envelope components from Gram-negative bacteria.

The Lyme-related Borrelia species are collectively known as Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, and show a great deal of genetic diversity.

What is Hypertension?
High blood pressure is defined as a blood pressure greater than 140/90 millimeters of mercury (mmHg).

Most cases of high blood pressure (about 85% to 90%) are referred to as essential or primary hypertension.  By definition, essential hypertension has no identifiable cause.

Hypertension (HTN or HT), otherwise referred to as high blood pressure (HBP), is a long-term medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is persistently gets elevated.

High blood pressure typically does not cause symptoms. Long-term high blood pressure, however, is a major risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, peripheral vascular disease, vision loss, chronic kidney disease, and dementia.

After a recent study, The World Health Organization (WHO) made a claim that the growth of the processed food industry and the consumption of processed industry product has impacted the amount of salt in diets worldwide, and that this plays a role in hypertension.

Unfortunately, the cause of high blood pressure (hypertension) in 90-95% of the cases is unknown. There are, however, a number of factors that have been linked to high blood pressure including:

A family history of high blood pressure.
Age – The incidence of high blood pressure rises in men after age 35 and in women after age 45.
Gender – Men are more likely to have high blood pressure than women.
Smoking – If you smoke cigarettes, you may have increased high blood pressure.
Race – Approximately 33% of African-Americans have high blood pressure, compared to 25% of Caucasians.

Definition Of Terms
What Is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels. The pressure depends on the work being done by the heart and the resistance of the blood vessels.

What Are Arteries?

Your arteries and high blood pressure. 

The arteries are the large blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to all the organs and muscles of the body, to give them the energy and oxygen they need. The arteries manage the flow of blood by controlling the speed and direction it flows in.

What is Coronary artery disease?
This is the impedance or blockage of one or more arteries that supply blood to the heart, usually due to atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). Abbreviated CAD. A major cause of illness and death, CAD begins when hard cholesterol substances (plaques) are deposited within a coronary artery.

[divider style="solid" top="45" bottom="45"]

FAQs Associated With Hypertension

What Causes Primary Hypertension?
Primary hypertension has no clear cause and is thought to be linked to genetics, poor diet, lack of exercise and obesity

What causes Secondary Hypertension?
Secondary hypertension (secondary high blood pressure) is high blood pressure that's caused by another medical condition. Secondary hypertension can be caused by conditions that affect your kidneys, arteries, heart or endocrine system. Secondary hypertension can also occur during pregnancy. In this type of hypertension, once the root cause is treated, blood pressure usually returns to normal or is significantly lowered.

What Is Atherosclerosis?
It is a condition where the arteries become narrowed and hardened due to a buildup of plaque around the artery wall. It is also known as arteriosclerotic vascular disease. The disease disrupts the flow of blood around the body, posing the risk of serious complications.

What Causes Atherosclerosis?
High blood pressure is a major cause of atherosclerosis, the artery-clogging process that leads to heart attacks and strokes.

What are Clogged Arteries?
Clogged arteries result from a buildup of a substance called plaque on the inner walls of the arteries. Arterial plaque can reduce blood flow or, in some instances, block it altogether.

Can Hypertension Be Cured?
Some high blood pressure could have surprising causes - and for one such cause, there's a surgical cure.

Big Brother Naija, formerly known as Big Brother Nigeria, is a Nigerian reality competition television series, based on the Big Brother television franchise, in which 12 contestants live in an isolated house and compete for a large cash prize worth $100,000 at the end of the show by avoiding being evicted from the house by viewers.
