Lagusta: nope, but dr lomaxx knows the meaning!!!!

nacotic: Pls can d docs in d house enlighten us on d modes of transmission

1) Transmission is by parenteral route :
-needle use,
-tattooing,
-ear piercing,
-acupuncture,
-transfusion of blood and blood products,
-hemodialysis,

2)sexual contact

3)perinatal transmission.

4)contact of infectious material with mucous membranes and open skin breaks (e.g., HBV is stable and can be transmitted from toothbrushes, utensils, razors, baby toys, assorted medical equipment [respirators, endoscopes]).

5) Oral intake of infectious material may result in infection through breaks in the oral mucosa.

The prognosis for Hepatitis B infection depends on whether it is acute or chronic. More than 90% of adults will clear acute hepatitis B infection from their system without pharmacologic therapy.
Progression to chronic disease depends on other prognostic factors like age of patient, co-infection, immune status etc ( Read your Davidson )

Back to topic, the assertion that hepatitis B has a worse prognosis than HIV/AIDS is false. Even a 4th year medical student knows this.

Something tells me the original idea was Hepatitis B /HIV co-infection killing faster than HIV/AIDS alone. Which is why the OP needs to provide a link.

Mcslize: 2009 Jamb 232, 2010 Jamb 236, 2011 Jamb 245, 2012 Jamb 196, 2013 Jamb 219.

Post Jamb 55, 50, 62, nil, 62 respectively

i read text Books, Modern Biology, New school chemistry, Lamland series Bio and Chem. Past Jamb questions.

2011 I was given Animal and Environmental Biology but refuse to do clearance. Thats same year someone got that Med surg with 50 for post ume.

At present I am studying Biomedical engineering TECHNOLOGY in UBTH benin city. I am even writing my project now. And I am writing my last exam by this August to round off The ND
program.

I spent all the time reading for my post ume and it is now I am reading for my final ND exam.

I believe I will be given the Med this time around.

I will be coming here with the testimony soon

OK. Good luck. I await your testimony

Mcslize: why not? We can talk. Where do we get hook up? On the phone or whatsapp?

No, here. Nairaland - this thread.

I don't want to make you lose faith that 62 can give you the admission you desire. But at the same time, 219 as UTME score was low. Too low for MBBS.
How have you been preparing for these exams since 2009 ?
I mean target scores and study strategies.

Mcslize: ya thats my UTME.
GOT SCREENING SCORE: 69

AGGREGATE: 62

i.e my Jamb was 219 which was divided by 8 to gie 27.375
and my screening score was divided by 2. 69/2 = 34.5

27.375 + 34.5 = 62

God knows I have tried my best. Bought Books, read day and night and was actually expecting more than that.

That could get me pure Medicine by the grace of God

Can we talk?

Baby mo, you got my pm?

m.esther96:
hmm,nt fine
tinkin about u

I cannot begin to describe how much I've missed you, my tender one .

m.esther96:
hmmmm

hey..how've you been?

oluafolabi: Lool.. Bro.. I hope it wasn't too late when you did?..

My academics was sufficiently excellent until I started 400. I thought it was business as usual. But unfortunately, each in course result ruptured my spinal cord - vertebrae by vertebrae. I failed some. I passed some. I failed more than I passed. And my passing wasn't so great..,,average scores.

It was shameful for me. I mean looking at the streak of fame I enjoyed from my premedical year to my preclinical years, it was sufficient to say the mighty had indeed fallen.
I was reading, I was studying- at least I thought so. But my scores were bad. You know med school....once you have bad scores, it means you aren't reading.

My problem wasn't the reading. My problem was that I took so many things for granted. I wasn't disciplined with time. I wasn't consistent. I pulled in more reading time when tests was announced than during normal days, I'll just read a little or I'll go to sleep hoping to wave my normal magic wand. Some weeks, I'll be high on stuff , other times I'll slack. I wasn't consistent.

This went on for a while, and like the biblical prodigal son, I came back to my senses. I saw the damage I did to myself. I saw that I was disappointing not only myself, but my colleagues who at a time, looked up to me. Most importantly, I learnt - that passing in med school has little to do with pedigree and everything to do with hardwork, more hardwork and more hard work.

Also, I learnt that in working hard, you have to work smart. Slowly, I learnt the art of consistency. Everything about medicine became important. I increased my reading time. I became more attentive in class. Every second became important.

It wasn't late. I was lucky. I still am. I learnt my lessons. Some of us aren't interested in just passing. We want to pass and be found among the stars.

For those of you still warming your feet to enter med school, or for those of you who have- don't just be interested in success stories. Learn from those who made mistakes and avoid making same mistakes. I repeat avoid making mistakes. You may not be lucky.
Good luck.

alutacontinua: You look handsome when you're angry.

Wait till DHL delivers my well-parceled alomo bitters in about 24 hours. Can't wait to see the sober version of you.

alutacontinua: DHL!

alutacontinua: I for fear...
If you meet a medical doctor who's handsome, nice, loves, trusts and respects you, cares so much about you and has all what you need, my dear, jump on him and don't think twice oooooo...

All you guys would need is to plan your life and you'll be fine.

I need to send a drink to you for this post. How would you like it? Self delivery or dhl ??

Studies has shown that Hb C is common among Yorubas


On the brighter side, I need to learn Yoruba and I'm AA. It takes two to tango

m.esther96:
ooh! tnx,bt dt means i cnt mary a carrier 2,AS nko,i cnt mary AS 2?

Yeah. You might raise offsprings with sickled-cell HB C disease. You need a proper counselling though.

You are Yoruba right??

Joeprince2nd: I gat question to ask about blood group.
When u have either blood group A,B,AB, and O Resude D negative or positive.
Please whats the meaning of that resude D negative and positive attached to the blood group e.g blood group A RESUDE D negative?

It is called "Rhesus D positive or negative" . How do I explain this?
From the genesis, blood grouping classifies blood into groups based on inheritance of antigenic substances. There are 2 main systems of blood typing :
1) ABO System
2) Rhesus System

Since you're more interested in the Rhesus system, we'll nail it.
There are 6 main Rhesus antigens : C, c, D, d, E,e. Of all these antigens, the D antigen is the most important because it is the most immunogenic. This means that it is most capable of inducing anti-D antibodies capable of causing hemolytic reactions.
If an individual inherits the Rhesus D antigen expresses it on his red blood cells, he/she is termed Rhesus positive.
If an individual does not inherit and does not express the Rhesus D antigen, he/she is termed Rhesus negative.
You don't transfuse blood from Rhesus positive fellow into a Rhesus negative fellow, even if their ABO system is compatible.

m.esther96:
u mean its nt d rit test? gat 2 run bak 2 d lab den!

No . Chill.

That is the name of the test that was done to determine your genotype.
