Supplementation Of Hematinics With Artesunate — Post Artesunate Delayed Hemolysis (Artesunate Induced Hemolysis)

An uncommon but serious adverse event occurring 1–3 weeks after treatment with artesunate for severe malaria. Characterized by a significant drop in hemoglobin levels and signs of hemolysis, even after the parasites are cleared.

The leading hypothesis is that after artesunate kills parasites, red blood cells that have had parasites removed from them are sent to the spleen (Pitting process). The pitting process causes these red blood cells to become smaller and less structurally sound, significantly shortening their lifespan. These compromised red blood cells are then more easily destroyed, leading to a delayed drop in hemoglobin levels.

While the benefits of artesunate outweigh the risks, hematological follow-up is crucial to detect and manage this complication.

Are You Really Getting Enough Vitamin D?

Sunlight is your best natural source of vitamin D. For your body to make enough, aim for 15–30 minutes of direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., at least 3–4 times a week. If you have darker skin, you may need a bit more time since melanin slows vitamin D synthesis.

Expose your arms and legs if possible, skip the sunscreen during this brief window (apply it afterward), and remember sun through glass doesn’t count!

When sunshine isn’t enough, support your levels with vitamin D-rich foods (like eggs, fatty fish, fortified milk) or a D3 supplement if needed.

If you have to be diagnosed with a disease, it may be better to be diagnosed with hypertension 10 times rather than diabetes.
Complications of diabetes are progressive and irreversible if you fail to control your blood sugar levels.

Uncontrolled diabetes progressively affects your eyes (retinopathy) which can lead to total blindness over time. It deteriorates your kidneys (nephropathy). In fact, diabetes can lead to end-stage renal disease. It damages the small blood vessels that supply the nerves in the body (neuropathy).

These are just the microvascular complications of diabetes and they are not reversible. You may be blind for life. Let's not forget about the macrovascular complications (stroke, MI, angina, etc.). Diabetes is wild and underated.

Diabetes Medication Alert: Nutrient Depletion at the Core!

Were you aware that over 5% of Kenyan citizens struggle with diabetes? The majority of these cases are type 2 diabetes, and there is one exceptional medication in the fight against it: Biguanides, commonly known as Metformin.

However, Metformin has more complexities than initially meet the eye. In Kenya, its usage ranks second among all drugs prescribed for monotherapy in diabetes treatment - making up 52% of all prescriptions. If you aren't using it yourself, then chances are high that someone close to you is — and they require this vital information.

The Benefits: As a primary Biguanide, Metformin has emerged as a cornerstone in combating type 2 diabetes. Its ability to combat glucose production in the liver has transformed countless lives.

The Hidden Challenge: However, even superheroes have their weaknesses. Long-term use of Metformin can lead to an inconspicuous depletion of crucial nutrients such as Vitamin B12.

A deficiency in Vitamin B12 may manifest itself through:
• Fatigue and weakness
• Anemia
• Potential nerve damage
• And other symptoms...

Your Proactive Solution: Simply monitoring isn't sufficient. Take action now to restore and maintain optimal levels of Vitamin B12 within your body. That's why I recommend supplementing with Vitamin B12 for all my patients taking Metformin.

🤝 Your Health Partner: Regular supplementation can assist you in preventing or combating any potential Vitamin B12 deficiencies arising from your use of Metformin.

Let's work together towards safeguarding your health!

Certain dietary choices may contribute to premature aging of the skin. Foods high in sugar, refined carbohydrates, and unhealthy fats can potentially accelerate the aging process. Additionally, excessive consumption of processed and fried foods may have negative effects on skin health.

Here are some food choices that may contribute to skin aging:

1. Sugary Foods: High sugar intake can lead to the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which may contribute to wrinkles and loss of skin elasticity.

2. Processed Foods: Highly processed foods often contain unhealthy fats, additives, and preservatives that may negatively impact skin health over time.

3. Fried Foods: Foods cooked at high temperatures, like deep-fried items, can produce free radicals, potentially damaging skin cells and contributing to aging.

4. Excessive Alcohol: Alcohol can dehydrate the skin, leading to dryness and potentially accentuating the appearance of wrinkles.

5. Salty Foods: High sodium intake can contribute to water retention, leading to puffiness and swelling, which may make the skin look less youthful.

On the other hand, a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals from fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins can promote skin health and contribute to a more youthful appearance. Staying well-hydrated is also crucial for maintaining skin elasticity and preventing dehydration.

Individual responses to different foods can vary, so it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or a nutritionist for personalized advice based on your specific health needs and skin concerns.
