Nurse and Midwife jobs at Reddington Hospital

http://www.medicalnigeria.com/2017/10/registered-nursemidwife-at-reddington.html

The best way to protect yourself is to ensure you wash your hands always, it is one of the most effective way of preventing the onset of infectious diseases.

Below are some essential hygiene tips:

Everyone understands that washing of hands after the use of toilet is a necessity but, so far people who routinely cleanse their hands after toilet use are not more than 50%, and it is done the right way by nobody. Wash with soap and water for thirty to forty five seconds. Even better, you scrub and lather those fingernails and rinse – then repeat.

Ensure you desist from the temptation of ‘multitasking’. That is one way to cross contaminate infection. Do not use the same sponge or rag cleanse everything in the house – kitchen, bathroom, parlor e.t.c

Frequent replacement of sponge is a necessity, the reason being that the warm, wet or damp nature of sponge traps particle of food, which leads to bacteria flourishing. Bacteria reproduces fast.

In 1992, a research team in Harvard medical school discovered that high consumption of fibre daily reduced the likelihood of developing cancerous changes of the colon. The fact is that fibre add weights to human faeces and this ‘dilutes carcinogens and hastens the process if digestion by speeding the process of ejection.

The correlation between consumption and the reduced chances of being affected by breast cancer was brought to the fore by research conducted in 1992, it was discovered that fibre may inhibit growth of breast cancer-tumour by binding estrogen in the intestine.

Disorder of the digestive system: Fibre assists digestive process, it speed up the process of excretion in the body by speeding up the ejection of faeces, hence, it curbs constipation. Intake fibre also decrease the chances of being infected with diverticulosis, a disease of the colon. Fibre is also known to cure flatulence.

Diabetes: Consumption of fibre will trigger a slow digestion of carbohydrates. This crucial in hampering the level of sugar in the blood daily. In a recent study, cereal fibre was associated with reduced risk of having non-insulin diabetes.

Heart Disease: There have been evidences that a diet that is good for the heart contains low fat, low cholesterol and high soluble fibre. It is known to significantly reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood. It can also hamper the production of cholesterol by the liver

New studies are discovering that long-term benefit of fibre intake includes reduced chances of heart attack.

A lot of controversies and discorded opinion are being aired on the issue of
the disease called asthma. Asthma is a popular chronic inflammatory illness that affects airflow of the lungs. Medical studies have indicated that out of hundred persons, five will always be infected by asthma. The number is growing especially in the younger population.

A person infected with asthma will be plagued by symptoms such as bronchospasm, recurring wheezing, cough, obstruction of the airflow and breath shortness. Symptoms can be variable ( infrequent or mostly during attacks) or constant ( have the symptoms chronically).


What are the causes of asthma?

Anybody at any age can be infected with asthma, though a mixture of genetic and environmental factor may play a role, the rate at which these affect people who are likely to be asthmatic and others who are unlikely to be affected have puzzled health professionals for years. But a popular dictum in the medical field on the issue is: ‘Onset before age 12 is more likely due to genetic influence, while onset after 12 is more likely due to environmental influence.’

Facts about the causes of asthma are:
It can be hereditary, or people with family history of the disease are more likely to be infected with it.
Some activities can ‘trigger’ asthma attacks, these activities include low quality or chilly air, dusts, robust workout or stress.
Other ‘triggers’ of asthma are allergens like dust from the house, environmental pollution, smokes from cigarettes, pollen from plants, animal wastes.
What these allergens does to the lung is destructive, it leads to the inflammation and swelling of the lining of the lungs. This block or reduces the airflow in the lungs.
Infection of the chest increases the risk of asthma attack.
How serious is asthma?

Generally, Asthma is thought out to be an illness that is not very lethal for majority of people that live with it, this is because the symptoms are mild and recent improvement in drugs that can limit the lethargy of asthma, and prevent it worsening. But asthma can drastically reduce the quality of the sufferer’s life due to the unpleasantness of the attack. Some sufferers can cope with the condition, and can manage it effectively but for others, it is incapacitating.

In few cases, it can become deadly, due to lack of satisfactory or immediate treatment. In cases as those, a severe attack can result to death.

What’s the duration period for asthma illness?

Asthma attacks takes place occasionally, the symptoms varies widely. A lot of persons that are asthmatic develop problems infrequently while few others have asthma as an everyday struggle. Asthma attacks can now be controlled and the time span of the attack can be limited through some medicine. Few children outgrow asthma, others are affected due to some weather condition. Although, the timeline of asthma attack can be perennial or affecting the entire life of the sufferer.
What are the treatments for asthma?

There is controlled, not treated. It is a chronic illness, so there’s no cure. It can be managed by tools and medicine like inhaler, proper diet, rest and staying away from polluted environment.
