Health / Re: Any Permanent Cure To Convulsion? by spyder99: 5:15pm On Aug 04, 2014
At poster, from the symptoms you reported, your brother most likely suffer from a seizure disorder which would be quite discomforting for the person witnessing him convulse and the first instinct would be to help.
1.while he is convulsing, one should make sure that his immediate surroundings is safe.
2 allow him to lay on his side, usually left side, this will prevent aspiration on his saliva.
3. Do not sit him upright or insert any item into his mouth as this May cause more damage than good.
4. He needs to see a doctor ASAP, you know a stitch in time saves nine.
5. Usually, there is no cure for epilepsy but can be controlled by use of anticonvulsant drugs.

Sickle cell disease is a serious medical problem that should not be taken lightly.
Anyone that has lost a loved one through this condition would probably know better.
For a couple with AS and AS genotype, there is a 25% chance of having a SS child with each pregnancy.

97% of people of caucasian descent have the AA genotype while 45% of people of Black African descent have AA genotype.

Health / Re: Malaria And Genotype Any Link ? by spyder99: 2:48pm On Apr 11, 2010
Malaria parasite, the plasmodium falciparum has high affinity for oxygen rich blood which is what you find in individuals with AA blood genotype when you compare to people with SS and AS genotype hence, the increased incidence of malaria in people with AA genotype. AS genotype individual does not suffer malaria that much because they have the S gene which because of the low oxygen tension can not sustain the survival of of the plasmodium.

Health / Re: Evil Nurses & Doctors In Nigerian Public Hospitals by spyder99: 6:14am On Jan 29, 2010
Since we are talking about evil professionals, dont limit this to doctors and nurses. Evil people in Nigeria include lawyers and judges that fail to uphold the law, evil police men that respond too late to emergency crisis, evil firemen with no water in their vehicle when responding to fire outbreak. evil clerical officers in offices when you need to collect document, evil teachers in our schools, The problem in Nigerian hospitals reflect the decadence that has affected our country.

Nigerian doctors are well trained but you find sometimes that you are hitting your head against the wall with no facilities to work with and being overworked and underpaid.
