Cervical cancer screening

Liquid Based Cytology (LBC) is a new technique for collecting cytological samples in order to detect cervical cancer. With conventional cytology a smear taker takes a sample that is applied directly to a slide for microscopic investigation. With LBC, samples are collected in liquid vials and the slide is prepared semi-automatically at the laboratory. Potentially the advantages of LBC include a reduction in the number of inadequate slides, increased sensitivity of the test and increased productivity of smear readers.

In addition to assessing LBC, the pilot sites are also evaluating the use of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) testing in the management of women with mild or borderline smear results. Over 95% of women who develop cervical cancer test positive for HPV. By testing women for this virus, those with a negative result can potentially be excluded from unnecessary preventative treatment at colposcopy clinics.

ENDOMETRITIS : Is a condition that causes inflammation of the lining of a woman's uterus(Endometrum) .

Uterus ; or womb , is a major reproductive organ in the woman consisting of a body and a cervix, and is where the fetus develop during pregnancy.

What Cause Endometritis.
Chlamydia , Gonnorrhea, TB and infections resulting from the mix of normal va**na bacterial.

Endometritis is usually not serious, it will go away when treated with antibiotics.

Untreated infection can lead to complications with reproductive organ, problems of infertility

Endometritis is most likely to occur after miscarriage, child birth especially after a long labour or cesarean delivery.

Risk Factors
1) Miscarriage
2)Child birth
3) Medical procedure which involves entering the uterus through the cervix such as (a) IUD (b) Uterine scrapping (D&C)

How Is Endometritis Diagnosed
1) Taking samples (culture) from the cervix to test for infectious agents such as Gonnorrhea or Chlamydia.
2) Removing a small amount of tissue ( biospy) from the lining of the Uterus
3) Laparoscopy
4)Pap smear.
5) ESR and WBC count ( levels are elevated)

Complication

1) infertility
2)Pelvic peritonitis ( general pelvic infection)

GET TESTED BEFORE TREATMENT

Malaria is a serious parasitic disease characterized by fever , chills and anaemia and is caused by a parasite that is transmitted from one human to another by a bite of an infected Anopheles Mosquito

Clocking in at just three millimeters at their smallest, the common mosquito, ranks as the second most dangerous animal( parasite) due to the sheer amount of deaths each year attributed to the various pathogens carried by several of the more than 3,000 species around the world. Found in every region on the planet except Antarctica, the irritating insects—primarily those from the genera Aedes, Anopheles, and Culex—are the primary vectors of diseases such as malaria, Chikungunya, encephalitis, elephantiasis, yellow fever, dengue fever, West Nile virus, and the Zika virus, which collectively afflict an estimated 700 million and kill roughly 725,000 people each year. As the World Health Organization notes, more than half of the human population is currently at risk from mosquito-borne diseases. Given that the pests are attracted to our body temperatures and the CO2 we exhale, our best tool is to get tested before treatment.

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a medical condition in which high blood pressure affects the arteries of the lungs and the right ventricle of the heart. To reduce the chance of right heart failure and death, PH must be treated promptly. While there are medications available to treat PH, in some cases surgery is required. There are several surgical options that may be recommended depending on the type of PH and the stage of heart disease.

Atrial Septostomy
For one form of PH known as pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a surgical procedure called atrial septostomy may be recommended in severe cases. In this procedure, a surgeon uses a catheter to make a hole in the wall between the left and right sides of the heart. Blood can pass through the hole from the right side of the heart to the left side, thereby relieving pressure on the right side of the heart.

When Do Doctors Recommend Atrial Septostomy?
Idiopathic PAH, which occurs due to an unknown cause, may not respond well to other treatments and can progress to right heart failure. The atrial septostomy procedure may be recommended for people in such severe cases. The procedure may also be an option for those who cannot receive a lung transplant.

Outcomes of Atrial Septostomy
Because the procedure is only performed rarely in severe cases, the impact of atrial septostomy on survival is not well understood. It is not a cure, but rather is used to treat symptoms of PAH. There are risks to the procedure, so it should be performed only when the benefits outweigh the risks.

Pulmonary Endarterectomy
Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA), also called pulmonary thromboendarterectomy, is a surgery used to treat a form of PH called chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). CTEPH is caused by large blood clots in the pulmonary arteries of the lungs, often the result of a pulmonary embolism.

PEA is used to remove those blood clots and restore blood flow. During the procedure, a heart-lung machine (or cardiopulmonary

Signs of diabetes

High blood sugar levels (or hyperglycemia) are a symptom of diabetes mellitus. They are also a precursor to this disease, which can be life-limiting. When you ingest sugar or any food high on the Glycemic Index (GI), your blood sugar levels quickly increase. They peak within 45 minutes of eating. In...

Get Your blood sugar test done today. Increase level of blood sugar in your body means diabetes. A fasting blood sugar (FBS) or Random blood sugar (RBS) is required to determine if your blood sugar is normal or not.

Diabetes symptoms: Experts warn of the '4Ts' that indicate high blood sugar. Early warning signs of high blood sugar - a prerequisite for diabetes - can easily be mistaken for a viral infection or another illness. This is why experts want everyone to be aware of the "4Ts".

Alternatively named, the four T's, high blood sugar specialists highlight the key words related to symptoms of diabetes: Thirsty, Tired, Toilet and Thinner.

The First "T" is Thirst – are you feeling really thirsty as of late? Such a sign can be really telling when you have no reason to be feeling dehydrated. Unless you have been working out, or have not been drinking enough fluids each day, there should be no reason why you feel thirsty – unless you do have diabetes.If you do have high blood sugar, it will feel as though no matter how much you drink, the thirst is unquenchable.

Another "T" to think about is whether you have been feeling "more tired than usual".

Expanding on the next"T" – toilet – you need to consider whether you have been going to the toilet "a lot" lately. Frequently needing the loo is a very common and early warning sign of escalated blood sugar levels.

Finally, the fourth "T" requires you to take a look in the mirror – have you been losing weight without trying to?
Other symptoms can include infections such as thrush, or blurred vision.

For people with type 1 diabetes, these symptoms come on "very quickly – over a few days or weeks".

As soon as you question whether you have diabetes or not, go for medical intervention and request a sugar blood test.

Consistently high blood sugar can lead to a life-threatening complication known as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).

The warning signs of DKA include:
Needing to p*e more than usual
Feeling very thirsty
Being sick
Tummy pain
Breath that smells fruity (like pear drop sweets, or nail varnish)
Deep or fast breathing
Feeling very tired or sleepy
Confusion
Passing out.

What’s causing your pelvic pain?

Pelvic pain is an extremely common condition - affecting a huge 1 in 6 women in their lifetime,

It's not only uncomfortable, but it can affect your quality of life. "Pelvic pain is pain that you feel in your lower abdomen or pelvis. You may get a dull, constant ache, which can sometimes be distressing enough to affect a woman's quality of life,"

most common causes of pelvic pain in women.

As you might imagine, periods are the number one cause of pelvic pain in women. Most women get pelvic pain in the first couple of days of their period - so-called menstrual cramps or simply period pain. Some women also get pelvic pain around the middle of their cycle when they ovulate. These pains vary hugely in severity, but if they're lasting more than a few days, starting before your period, associated with other symptoms or having a significant impact on your life, they need checking out. Other causes of pelvic pain includes the following:

Endometriosis,
Is a condition where cells similar to those found in the womb lining are found outside the uterus, and it can cause severe debilitating period pain. It can also cause pain between periods, painful s*x, bleeding between periods and problems getting pregnant. And getting diagnosed may take some time as symptoms can be similar to other common conditions.

Adenomyosis
Is a condition where the endometrial tissue (the lining of the womb) migrates inside the muscle of the womb - which often goes undiagnosed. This can also cause prolonged menstrual cramps, heavy bleeding and pain during s*x.

Pelvic inflammatory disease
If your pain isn't related to your cycle and if it's the first time you've had this type of pain , it could be an infection, such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). PID is an infection of a woman's reproductive organs affecting the womb, Fallopian tubes and ovaries. "Chronic pelvic pain may be accompanied by a discharge as well as a fever.

Pregnancy
If you are (or could be) pregnant, you should be aware of the following causes of pelvic pain: ectopic pregnancy (acute pelvic pain possibly accompanied by va**nal bleeding), miscarriage, rupture of the corpeus luteum and premature labour.

Other causes
One of the issues with pelvic pain is that it can be multifactorial - meaning it's not only one condition causing the symptoms, "Usually pain can be coming from the urinary tract, the gynaecological tract, the gastrointestinal tract or it could also be a musculoskeletal cause.

Other causes of pelvic pain include ovarian cysts, fibroids, irritable bowel syndrome, pelvic congestion syndrome, urinary tract infections, appendicitis and inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn's and ulcerative colitis.
