nagoma: A guideline is never rigid and concrete, it gives you latitude according to patient characteristics ( remember I said assuming the patient has no kidney problem) if the patient has kidney problem I will not use tenofobir and may actually go for AZT in the combination and then keep monitoring his hemoglobin to pick anemia daly . And if you think this explanation is in google, let me have the web address.

Ok Nagoma w'ever its clear you prefer jargon to substance

So you are a teacher/doctor/street sweeper?

But you will agree that the WHO's guidelines come from healthcare professonals right? Everyone knows you have to tailor treatments to individuals are you just now learning this?

You never answered my other question though...was Yar'dua qualified to be president?

nagoma: With rabies treatment there are many factors including the site of entry , a rabid dog bite on the face is nearer to brain and more likely to develop into rabies while a bite on the foot may be arrested more easily. About high mortality , if you noticed I said " when symptoms and signs of rabies appear" . That is when mortality is very high. Treatment of rabies in real sense is not treatment at all. It is actually prevention. You are trying to stop and neutralize the Rhabdo virus before it reaches the CNS. Ones it is in CNS symptoms appear and you have lost the patient. If ihave rabies and I start showing signs of infection please kill me in a gentle way ( I know you will love to do that) but this is much much better than going thru the horrid picture of full blown rabies illness . It is perhaps the most terrifying illness in men and also in animals. Pray never to even see a case of full blown rabies.

Okay Nagoma I'm not interested in playing this game, you told me I was wrong on what I said about AIDS only to parrot back what I said and stuffed technical terms in it to sound clever. Now you are trying to save face and clean up your 80% rabies remark. I'm not in a medical setting so I prefer basic terms, which you understood clearly otherwise you wouldn't be making all this noise over semantics.

If it makes you happy you are the best quota mandated teacher of all time

nagoma: I told you what I would do. You can give AzT if that is all you know and your patient will end up with anaemia and also deep resistance due to monoterapy . He will have huge viral load and low CD4 and may actually have mutation , you will than have to go to second line too daly and may end up with very expensive salvage therapy. It's a question of give a penny and take your choice. WHO gives guidelines only and the one you are reading is out of date. The final choice of drugs is always with the Dr. And according to patient type .

Yeah dear the WHO does nothing but guidelines
google master

How do they come up with those guidelines, if not from doctors and others in the medical field or you think WHO sits around making up facts?

nagoma: Not google. Upto date antiretroviral therapy. If you feel too big to learn from a quota teacher then stay in your ignorance and depend on exam expos.

My dear you use google, why do you disappear every so often when you need to come back to make a point? Bathroom breaks?

Well I'm not really learning from you if you are googling the answers and regurgitating them back to me. By the way quota teacher I looked up your factoid on Rabies and guess what (though I'm not surprised) you were wrong, like I said with early treatment most if not all will survive? I guess you were using outdated info too?

80% deaths due to Rabies in this day and age lol maybe in your village where men and women fight for scraps with flea bitten dogs

nagoma: You are perhaps thinking of Kaposi sarcoma which is the first cancer identified with AIDS. Actually almost all organs of the body can have cancer related to AIDS- skin, brain, liver, lungs, bowel and even blood leukaemias. I don't expect you to know all these. If you recommend treatment of AiDs with only AZT , you are at least 15 years behind time and you will do more harm than good. In this day and age even in naive patient I will not include AZT ( ZIDOVUDINE ) in my treatment , I may not even include any nucleoside analogs reverse transcriptase inhibitors at all.I would just go for effervirenz and tenofobir as first line and of course with emtricitabine to make a triple chemotherapy. I am assuming that the renal functions are good and you monitor regularly. ( if you stay with me you will learn a lot from quota teacher. And you may not need to buy exam expo again.)

Google Master is back

AZT is still used in conjunction with other drugs but you think you are smarter than the world health organization so I digress I was listing one drug used for HIV treatment off the top of my head and not trying learn from google like you are. I'm familiar with drug resistance with AZT because of overuse and incomplete treatments especially in Africa were cost is a major factor.

So you are a teacher and a doctor or were you made both in your village because with your high school level education that made you the most educated person around (they also named you village astrophysicst too)

So please tell me how I was wrong about AIDS or do you just argue for the sake of it?

Diseases that have ravaged the north:

Cholera
measles
Polio
Lead poisoning
meningitis


Even the Animals are not safe:
Black leg disease runs rampant in their livestock

Yes Nagoma you are so briliant you are dropping dead from curable disease. Please tell us that these diseases are child's play

nagoma: I an glad you have realized that we are from different backgrounds but disagree with you about the company I keep. I have friends that respect from literally all over the world and of various races and religions and they reciprocate my respect for them . For you, it is integral part of your upbringing to insult and disrespect us Northerners. So I reciprocate. I am a simple employee with a regular salary and my condition is not related to who is the president so I don't know where I come in with the" being in power " nonsense. Of course as a Nigerian I feel concerned when a mediocre clueless person becomes my president. The country loses years in development , losses to lack of capacity and monumental corruption. Are you suggesting that I lose my franchise and shut up in the face of tyranny and arbitrariness just because a confused southerner is the president.?

So Yar'dua was qualified to be president too?

Because your voice seems to waver when your guy is in charge and become strong when its the other guy.

nagoma: The trouble is you will never accept corrections. What you said was technically wrong. It was a terminological error and i corrected you. I will correct you again because repetition teaches the donkey , perhaps you will learn. I will give some examples of killer viral illnesses , a full blown AiDs is a killer codition as you are stripped of your immunity , your CD4 cell counts Is very low and even simple everyday infections can be fatal. Rabies infection is a killer condition. Even with treatment unto 80 % of all those who showed symptoms and signs will die of it. Another example of killer viral infections are the hemorrgic fevers , Ebola and Lassa fever but the myxovirus polio is crippling , debilitating causing flaccid lower motor neurons type of paralysis. Agreed it is more common among northerners. But the viruses that you should be worried about are HIV as for your sisters working in Italy - you know the kind of work and you should worry about the Kuru virus as an Igbo man. It is a hazard related to your special diet.

AIDS does not kill anyone, no one dies from AIDS they die from complications associated with AIDS. There is a type of cancer that is prevalent in those at the final stages of AIDS. People will die from the common cold and pneumonia without treatment for AIDS. Which is why AZT treatment is so important, if you keep the CD4 count high then opportunistic diseases will not be as much of a risk. So please tell me how exactly am I wrong in saying what the WHO/ CDC/ and co say.
AIDS is deadly not because it will kill you but leaves you open to other diseases?

If treatment is given on time most people will not die from a Rabbies infection.

You think paralysis is not deadly? If you are paralyzed from the neck down without medical assistance you will die? Let me guess medical treatment is top notch in the North?

Mr. Teacher has there ever been outbreak of Kuru in Nigeria? Look at the google master

But outbreaks of polio, flesh eating viruses, river blindness, and co have been recorded in the North.


Here argue with these folks on how undeadly polio is:

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/rxforsurvival/series/diseases/polio.html
http://www.hhmi.org/biointeractive/disease/polio/
http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/features/polio-the-deadly-summer-of-1956-2117253.html

No a nobody in one unnamed village in the Sahara encroching North who is paid with goats and chickens for school fees and teaches under a mango tree is now going to tell the world that Polio is not deadly. So let's tell WHO to pack their bags up because according to your everlasting and overflowing wisdom know that polio is not deadly.

nnenna.1:
Turbo tax is super convenient though.:-D

Their state tax return prep fees are highly inflated, I admit.

If your taxes are easy its fine but if you have investments and etc you will eat the "savings" when the IRS tells you how much in taxes you have to pay.

People using that computer stuff to file taxes get gypted big time. Some folks need to carry their behinds to H&R or Jackson Hewitt

Hateritis is in full effect.

^^
With a delay by the IRS due to the Healthcare Law coming into effect. I hope you don't plan on using Turbotax, system crashed from so many late comers.

ekt_bear: Are a muthafuckin b1tch.

That is all

Nigeria is only a 10 hr plane ride away

You want us to be clapping for ordinary pothole being fixed like they do in Naija?

nagoma: Just because I made an important correction to you you rushed to google and copy and paste what they said about polio. I know that polio is a serious illness with far reaching cosequences and nobody should have it.about 10 cases were found in kano and 3 in theFCT within the last one year.this is bad and the effort is to ensure it's eradication and we are working towards that. You can describe Polio as crippling disease, a debilitating disease a disabling disease and you are right and you will score marks in my exam. When you say that it's a killer disease then I the teacher know that you don't know what you are talking about so I mark you accordingly. It's just my instinct to correct a student whose so called education was through expo and does not really understand what he is talking about. I only gave you an example of killer diseases to guide you right. I wonder how much you paid for your certificate.

AIDS doesn't kill people but complications from AIDS kills people are you going to now say that AIDS is not a deadly condition without treatment?

Or are you one those half clever idiotas?

Polio is known as a debilitating and deadly disease, if that wasn't the case WHO and Bill Gates would not be running around trying to eradicate it.

But some literate iliterate who sabi book small knows better than the scientists of the world.

Yes you guys are hard at work trying to rid the North of polio by killing doctors who free of charge vaccinate people.

Even if you survive a disease if your quality of life is reduced to crawling the streets of Lagos with slippers on your hands begging for alms is that a life worth living?

nagoma: Assuming that I am a teacher as you said I need to teach youa few things before we talk. Polio is not generally a killer disease although a rare type of polio (bulbar polio can affect the respiratory center and paralyze breathing and cause death). Meningitis, respiratory infections and diarrhoeal illnesses cause much more (thousands of times more death than polio in children).So I got into teachers college with zero pass mark? I wonder how Oga at the top got his PhD but I know that all hype about Igbo education is exam malpractice. A family of 6 can share one certificate and you know this better than I do.My students are not Zombies, 5hey don't cheat in exams and they do very well.

Definitely a quota teacher

Polio:
Although approximately 90% of polio infections cause no symptoms at all, affected individuals can exhibit a range of symptoms if the virus enters the blood stream.[3] In about 1% of cases, the virus enters the central nervous system, preferentially infecting and destroying motor neurons, leading to muscle weakness and acute flaccid paralysis. Different types of paralysis may occur, depending on the nerves involved. Spinal polio is the most common form, characterized by asymmetric paralysis that most often involves the legs. Bulbar polio leads to weakness of muscles innervated by cranial nerves. Bulbospinal polio is a combination of bulbar and spinal paralysis.

So because it doesn't kill its ok for it to be propagating uncontrolled in the North? Of course now, you guys are fans of low expectations. You may not be able to walk but, you are alive thanks to Allah

So Meningitis is the big killer in the North. So how is swearing off Western Medicine working for you

So all the hype about Northerners coming dead last in education is lies?

nnenna.1:
Chei!!!!! visit news articles parading stories of murderous/raping/rioting Fulani herdsmen in Southern Nigeria and neighboring countries, incessant bombings in Northern Nigeria, ethnic clashes with Beroms/Tivs.

It is nothing short of bigotry to assume that 99% of Northern Hausa-Fulanis are not raging psychopaths or murderous beasts.

No they are just misunderstood

I always laugh at his backwardness. He's a teacher but he must be one of those quota teachers from the North that got in Teacher's College with a zero pass mark. I pity the kids he teaches, if hates Igbo people and Southerners in general what do you think will happen to the minds under his tutelage? Creating future zombies that will done the robes of Boko Haram.

He talks about how smart the North is but their "smarts" has them dealing with Polio a disease killing his forefathers a century ago when there was no cure is still killing them today

Now they have one flesh eating disease, I bet Northern smarts will prevail again

nagoma: 99%!! This woman doesn't know Igbos at all. Let her visit the jails in Malaysia, Indonesia,Thiland,China,India,South Africa,UK,US,Canada,Netherlands,Sweeden,and actually all over the world where drug trafficking , love peddler jods and 419 and back home Armed Robbery and she will change that 99% to become 9%.

So you admit you are a bigot?

So if I say the bulk of boko haram is your people that means 99% of hausas and co are terrorists? The 9% are enablers. Am I right?

You have mouth to talk. Saudi Arabia just treated Northerners like unwanted cargo last year because they said every pilgrimage they come its for illicit and un-holy like things. Shall I say Northerners are religious crooks?

Eziachi: I don't have problem being clueless, tell me what you are? I can do with some of your ocean of wisdom.
Now, next.

You have to have a brain to get anything out of being taught otherwise its akin to teaching algebra to a brick wall.

Eziachi: If you are over 50 years old and still blaming your parents for your situation of unproductive life of poverty, then you have a huge problem. The way Nigeria is now is totally down to Nigerians as it was the same British that ruled Malaysia and others.
And you totally lost me with the bleaching skin bit, I have no idea what you're on about or what you skin got to do with the British.

Because you're clueless. Next.

So if your parents dont invest in your education or provide you with the tools you need for adulthood you don't think that will not hinder your development in anyway? You may manage to get on the right track but the difficulties and stumbling blocks you had to overcome could have been much less with a solid foundation from your parents.

Next.

I'm not on about nothing. Its just the fact that some of you internet intellectuals are really clueless.

My point was a very simple one. You say the British had no part in how Nigeria is today. Did your ancestors worry about bleaching and light skin before contact with the British or after? If British rule could mess with people's mindset in one aspect is it that farfetched to think other things could have been affected?

No one says that Africans should not be held accountable for how things are but a lot of dummies like you causually ignore that these countries were not built on solid foundations.

A driver's ed video? How do they know its the first?

nagoma: They were too primitive to hold office and they have not changed.

And they found good monkeys to fill in. You were the British's lackeys so who were the primitive ones?

Lord Lugard's masterpiece indirect rule was developed in Northern Nigeria. Instead of ruling the fools directly they used your leaders as a errand boys and you were just as happy as could be

That's how much smarts they thought you had. They threw up a cheap smokescreen and you ate it up. Which is why the North fell before the south did.

Eziachi: The British are not holding guns on your throat. Still blaming them after 50 years of your own modern civilisation is simply lame.

So why is Nigeria the way it is then?

Colonialism is not the cause of everything but to pretend that it did not have regressive effect is being dishonest. Do you think bleaching of the skin was big before the British or after?

neena adjei: Aboa ba

Jesus lighten up

Royal^Pearl^:
ROTFLMAO. wow Goodnight purpleclouds, neena, kajina,kikky

No hard feelings I dont want to wake up to WW3

neena adjei: are u trying to be funny dude?

No but you are definitely getting high marks for your portrayal of an idiota

neena adjei: did i say i was or did i say im tired? Mcheww

neena adjei: I don tire abeg

Yes I hope whatever is stuck in your teeth you finally were able to suck it out

This is the internet dear not he said she said a copy of everything exists. Now take two hits to the throat and fall out.

thoth: You really don't understand where i am coming from although i can understand how you derived your conclusion.
Sometimes i think the black man is too hot-blooded to reason clearly or maybe i just don't understand the problem with us.

I think you are the one with the problem. If you wish for someone to fail you to will fail. You keep saying you hope Igbo people will fail but tell us is your people's lot any better? Or you hoping to have some company with your misery?

For those wishing for war do make sure you sign up and show up first, war is easy when you are thousands of miles away and tucked behind the screen.

Royal^Pearl^:
I only know of 1 just like you and its Nairaland. Yes i am sure Nairaland has alot of Non-Nigerians but how many ghanaians are on this site 10? out of 1 million and its the same ppl who keep commenting. So truth is majority of Ghanaians are not bothered or obsessed with Nigerians. I dunno why i joined but am sure my presence will not be for long

Nairaland, Naijapals, and others but go on...

I never said you are not free to set the record straight on Ghanians here so like I said its w'ever.

Royal^Pearl^:
Positive really? ok have you read the comments? I have seen some very bad ish and topics. I kept reading alot of ish for a couple of months before something just made me join to set the record straight. I don't like the fighting and i did not come to fight but making generalizations and if you say something sometimes you plan on not responding then you read something that makes you respond.

Yes some of the comments were bad but I'm talking about the intent of the thread.

Ok I'm just saying my opinion. If you want to wage a one woman war more power to you Nairaland is open to all comers

Nigerians talk about everything under the sun even themselved so it is what it is *kanye shrug*

neena adjei: I don tire abeg

Unplug your phone or hop off the computer are you being held captive?

[b][/b]

Kajina: Yeah, let the Chinese and Japanese talk crap about each other, if Nigerians talk crap about us, we will hit back and harder! We are here to stay

Of course now. You guys love to live with your alleged "oppressor"


Even if a cediland open up it is here you will camp lol insult or no insult. For all your "supposed" hate and mistrust of Nigerians you eat, breathe, and sleep with them.

Lol the ceremonial kola nut will be brought in a Ghana must Go bag

Royal^Pearl^:
Actually there are many Nigerians in Ghanaian site and blv me they come to troll as well AND TO tease etc. In every Ghanian site you will find a Nigerian even in discussion there will be one who registers and will go on. Same thing with South African sites and after the Kenya saga am sure Nigerians joined to go and speak their case. You making it seem like there is no Nigerian in any non-nigerian sites. Especially those who are living in ghana will also end up more than likely on a ghanaian forum. That is life 4 you

Did I say no Nigerians ever visit other countries' sites. No so don't put words into my mouth. But there are way more non-nigerians here than the opposite that one I can say.

I don't know of any Ghanian forums since you guys are always here

I only know of one Ghanian site and that's it.
