Happy World Health Day!

The Illustration below is from a talented graphic designer Omogbolahan Akinlade https://www.instagram.com/designsbyomogbolahan/ who happens to be a Medical Student at the University of Benin🔥🔥

Concept Explanation:
The Health of the Human populace (represented by the heart) is directly linked(via the thread) to the condition of the Planet(the globe). That connection between the our Health and the Planet as figuratively represented, is literally on a "thin thread".

Over the years, industrial and technological advancements has led to activities that affected and still affects the ecological dynamism of the Earth, therefore our Health; Deforestation, Sea Dumping, Gas Flaring etc. All these activities have had one or two adverse effects on our health directly. From affecting the quality and quantity of breathing oxygen, to poisoning (e.g lead) our drinking waters, amongst other effects.

As future Health care practitioners we have a role to play in preserving "Our Health" by spreading awareness, educating the populace and generally contributing to the positive condition of the "Planet" in any way we can we are securing the Planet and bettering Health.

Remember;
Our Planet; Our Health.

ITCHY FEET

Good day to you from The Health Marshall! How are you doing today? Hope you are living healthy during this troubled times of the novel COVID-19? I want to believe so!

Today's topic of discussion is a very interesting one. Well it's a not so common line of discussion but all the same, it's interesting and informative. We are going to talk about itchy feet!

Well, as the name depicts, itchy feet simply means having a condition where one's feet are very uncomfortable to the extent of extreme discomfort, making you scratch excessively.

Itchy feet is noted to be a prolific bringer of discomfort in individuals. It's very disturbing to the individual as he/she tends to find an opportunity to get rid of it but It's not too easy.

Itchy feet could be caused by a lot of factors. It could be as a result of a fungal infection or even a skin condition. It can also be an indicator of underlying conditions such as eczema, athlete's foot,dermatitis, psoriasis e.t.c. It could also be caused by allergies, insect bites, hookworm infestation (caused by walking barefooted in damp soil or dirty water).

Itchy feet can be controlled during the day but not as easily during the night as the brain is not as conscious during the day.

Treatment for itchy feet depends on its prevalent causes. For fungal infection, antifungal creams would do the trick. For skin conditions, the appropriate ointment is used. But most importantly, one has to keep good foot hygiene by cleaning one's feet, keeping the skin dry, wearing socks and shoes, trimming the nails and avoid stepping on damp soils. If itching still persists, it's best you see your doctor!

And that's all for now! Thanks for reading and have a wonderful day!

Hey yo! Good day folks! It's The Health Marshall once again! And today, we shall be commemorating the sickle cell awareness day held every 19th of June with a write up on the sickle cell disease.

The sickle cell disease is a group of genetic disorders causing the red blood cells to misshape, deform and break down. The main reason why it is called sickle cell anemia is because there will be a shortage of healthy red blood cells.

Sickle cell anemia is not a contagious disease. Instead it is transmitted through gene inheritance. In other words, that means it is only transmitted when two genes with the sickle cell anomaly combine. Now what we need to understand is the mechanism before one can get a sickle cell gene.
This is through understanding what genotype is.

Genotype is the genetic description of an individual.
The sickle cell anemia is spread by a sickle cell gene with the inscription *S*. A healthy person has a gene AA, a carrier has gene AS and a sicķler SS. For one to be SS, he/she must have inherited an S gene from each parent. Meaning each parent has genes ranging from AS to SS.
So before you start up a family, it's best to get a blood test done for you and your prospective partner to be sure. It is for the safety of the children unborn.

Some symptoms of the sickle cell anemia include shortage of blood, blood cell entrapment, gall strokes, kidney failure, ulcers on skin etc.
Sickle cell disease is a long lasting problem in the world, especially in Africa. This is because there is a lack of awareness on this issue. The first thing that can be said is testing should be done before marriage.
If any/both of the intending partners are having this gene, then the relationship should better end there, for the unborn children's sake.

Treatments
The best prevention remains abstinence from problematic situations.
But if it's too late for that, then the following should be done;

1.Eating very well, drinking a lot of water, avoid extreme weathers and other forms of stress.

2.There are special drugs need to support the red cells such as folic acid, prevent malaria (paludrine) that should be taken routinely by affected persons.
3.Recently, drugs are available to reduce the complications. such as hydroxyurea but should be used with the guidiance of the doctor.

There is a known cure for the disease through blood and marrow transplant. But its expensiveness and its relative unavailability makes it out of reach for most people.

Thats it from The Health Marshall! See you next time! Have a lovely day!

WORLD EARTH DAY

Happy Earth day from The Health Marshall to everyone
We believe every day is Earth day and that's a reason why we should work together in our daily lives to safeguard our future by taking care of our incredible planet .
Over the years man has impacted the physical environment in many ways: overpopulation, pollution, burning fossil fuels, and deforestation. Changes like these have triggered climate change, soil erosion, poor air quality, endangered animal lives and undrinkable water.

When we get past this crisis (Covid-19) which we will, we will be faced with choices, We can go back to the world as it was before or deal decisively with those issues that make us all unnecessarily vulnerable to the crises

We must radically change our relationship with nature in order to stem the rot of mass extinction.

Improvements to energy efficiency and vehicle fuel economy, increases in wind and solar power, biofuels from organic waste, setting a price on carbon, and protecting forests are all potent ways preserve our planet .
The best way to save endangered and threatened species is to protect the special places where they live , this way we offer an unending survival of these animal lives.

Nearly all of these solutions exist today, and many of them hinge on humans changing the way we behave, shifting the way we make and consume energy.

Together, we can save the earth, and this change starts with you and I.

Hey yo!
Good day y'all! How are you doing? And how's your health? Hope we all good? It's The Health Marshall once again at it, and today I'll be talking about leprosy.

, according to Google's Dictionary,is "a chronic infectious disease mainly causing skin lesions and nerve damage"

So, what us leprosy all about? What causes it? Leprosy is mainly caused by infection with the bacterium Mycobacterium leprae. It is said that there are many ways of contracting leprosy which includes contact with secretions of infected persons. Also it is being discovered that it can be propagated respiratory-wise.

But the most catchy mode of contraction is *through cockroaches! Oh wow! Wetin dey cockroachate! They are suspected to be carriers of the bacterium and humans can contract it if in contact with thier feaces aka sh*t🏾‍♂

But it is not easily contagious though, as proven by the fact that in Nigeria, there are far less than ten thousand cases per year.

Some of the symptoms of leprosy include; skin lesions (skin with abnormal growth), numbness of body parts especially arms, and some others. The issue is that these symptoms may take 5-20 years to manifest, so it's best we do check-ups.

Bright side of life is that we can find a way to check it's activities. For those already infected, some antibiotics such as Rifampin as well as multi drug therapy as suggested by the WHO can help.

For those who don't have the disease, the best thing is to stay safe by avoiding contact with infected persons and also taking care of personal belongings like clothes,dishes etc so that there is no contact with cockroaches.

That's it from your Health Marshall today and have a great day!
See you next time!
Stay healthy!😁

Every year, about 8 million babies worldwide are born with a serious birth defect, and about 3 million of them will die before their fifth birthday. Birth defects are a leading cause of death in the first year of life, and babies who survive may be physically or mentally disabled, taking a costly toll on their families, communities and nations.
In memory of all living and deceased babies born with birth defects.
