What is Pharmacology?

Pharmacology is a branch of medicine and pharmaceutical sciences concerned with the study of the interactions that occur between a living organism and drugs — chemicals that affect normal or abnormal biochemical function.
Pharmacology is divided into two major areas — “pharmacodynamics” which studies the effects of drugs on biological systems, and “pharmacokinetics” which studies the effects of biological systems on drugs.
Note: *Pharmacology is often confused with Pharmacy but
the two terms are not synonymous.
Pharmacology is a biomedical science concerned with the
research, discovery and characterization of drugs WHILE
Pharmacy is a health services profession concerned with the
application of pharmacological principles in clinical settings
(dispensing of drugs and drug information).
Simply put, Pharmacology is a science-oriented
research field WHILE Pharmacy is a direct patient care
practice.
*To be in charge of a pharmacy store in Nigeria, you
must be licensed by the Pharmacists Council of Nigeria
(PCN). Unfortunately, the license is only given to graduates of
Pharmacy. This implies that a pharmacologist cannot run a
pharmacy store legally in Nigeria except he/she is also a
qualified and licensed pharmacist.
However, this does not change the fact that anyone
with the financial capability can own a pharmacy store but
impliessthat such person will require the services of a licensed
pharmacist to run the store.


Career Prospects in Pharmacology

Pharmacology as a career offers exciting prospects as it is directly involved in the research, discovery and characterization of drugs which are indispensable tools in medicine.

Career Paths
The various career paths available under Pharmacology include;
1. Clinical Pharmacology: Clinical Pharmacologists study the effects of drugs on diseases, their effects on humans, their interactions with other chemical substances, and how diseases can change the effects of drugs.
2. Toxicology: Toxicologists study poisonous substances, where they are found and how they affect humans. They also study the adverse effects of drugs on humans.
3. Chemotherapy: Chemotherapies are concerned with the development and study of drugs that kill kill cancer cells and microbes without destroying healthy cells.
4. Neuropharmacology: As the name implies, Neuropharmacology ists study the effects of drugs on the nervous system.
5. Industrial Pharmacology: Industrial Pharmacologists are actively involved in the research and manufacture of drugs in pharmaceutical companies.
6. Pharmacology Education: Pharmacologists who go into academics are saddled with the responsibility of training the next generation of Pharmacologists and conducting academic research.
7. Veterinary Pharmacology: Veterinary Pharmacologists study drugs used in treating animals and how these drugs affect the animals.

Where Pharmacologists Work
Most of the work done by Pharmacologists are carried out in the laboratory. Their major work places are;
1. Hospitals: In hospitals, Pharmacologists are involved in clinical trials and research.
2. Pharmaceutical and Biotech Companies: Here, Pharmacologists do basically two things — research (drug discovery and development) and manufacturing drugs.
3. Universities and other Tertiary Institutions: This is where academic Pharmacologists work. Their primary concern is training the next generation of Pharmacologists and conducting academic research.
4. Civil Service: Pharmacologists can work in federal and state ministries of health, federal and state health/drugs agencies e.g. NAFDAC, NDLEA, NCDC, etc.
Here they help in formulating drug policies, regulations and laws. They also conduct research in government laboratories.

Remuneration
The salary structure of Pharmacologists in Nigeria is not clear as there is not much Pharmacologists in the country. Nevertheless, their salary is expected to be the similar to that of other basic medical scientists (Biochemists, Anatomists and Physiologists).

WAEC and JAMB Subject Combination for Radiography

What is Radiography?
Radiography is a collective term for all imaging techniques involving the use of x-rays, gamma rays, and/or other similar forms ionising and non-ionizing radiation to view the internal structure of an object or body.
Radiography is divided into two major branches — Medical Radiography and Industrial Radiography. This article centres on Medical Radiography (hitherto referred to as"Radiography" ) as Industrial Radiography is not offered as an undergraduate course of study in Nigerian Universities.
Medical Radiography is subdivided into "Diagnostic Radiography" and "Therapeutic Radiography".

Career Prospects in Radiography
Radiography is a fast-growing and rewarding career with tremendous employment prospects within the healthcare system. As a career, it has high prospects as it is an indispensable arm of modern medical science and the pivot of modern medical diagnosis. Consequentially, the profession has been dubbed "the eye of modern medicine".
The various career paths available under Radiography are:
1. Assistant Radiographers — These are Radiographers that have completed their university education in Radiography but for one reason or the other are not registered with the professional body responsible for the regulation of Radiography practice and education in the country they work in. They work under the supervision of a registered Radiographer or Radiologist.
2. Radiographers — These are professionals registered with the relevant regulatory body in the country they practice in. They are subdivided into
a) Diagnostic Radiographers; They work in areas that include x-ray, ultrasound, fluoroscopy, computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), angiography, mammography, bone densitometry and nuclear medicine. Medical Doctors rely on precise diagnostic tests run by Diagnostic Radiographers for accurate patient diagnosis.
b) Therapeutic Radiographers; Therapeutic Radiographers are responsible for planning and delivering accurate radio-therapeutic treatments to patients using a variety of modern technical equipment and techniques.
3. Consultant Radiographers/Academic Radiographers — These are advanced practitioners with expert clinical practice. They offer (i) professional leadership and consultancy, (ii) education, training and development, and (iii) research and evaluation
The requirement for advanced practice is full Masters/PhD level education.

The career prospects in Radiography can be discussed under the following subheadings —
* Employment Opportunities: In Nigeria, employment opportunities abound for Radiographers as the demand in healthcare and health education institutions is greater than the supply. This is evident in the relative few number of universities offering the course in Nigeria.
* Salary and Remuneration: Presently in Nigeria, the average Radiographer earns between ₦120,000 - ₦140,000 monthly. The above figure justifies the profession being described as"lucrative"
* Job Security: As stated earlier, Radiography is the "eye of modern medicine". When coupled with the fact that demand for qualified Radiographers supercedes supply, the implication is that in the event of a massive layoff of workers in the healthcare sector, Radiographers are likely to be unaffected.
* Future Career Options: Radiographers have the option of advancing their careers into Therapeutic Radiography and/or Consultancy/Academic practice from Diagnostic Radiography which is often regarded as general practice in Radiography.

Can't waste my time on useless apps

RredbulL:
One model has NFC while the other one is without NFC.

orh! . . . I was thinking G ==> Global C ==> Chinese
so which of the models comes with NFC?

Most apps recognise my phone as "M2004J19C" instead of "M2004J19G"
is this normal?

RredbulL:
I am guessing it's MTN. The only thing is probably to consider another network for browsing. And deactivate the battery saver option.

Please I'll like to know why you suggest I deactivate battery saver

RredbulL:
The network signal is the culprit.

Please what can I do about it?

I turned WiFi and Bluetooth scanning off and even turned my glo line off

Check

1. My battery drains fast
2. Charger stopped working 2 days after purchase
3. Recorded videos take up too much space
