There are everyday diseases that are common. This includes common cancers like breast cancer, prostate cancer, and cancer of the cervix. Most of these cancers are not diagnosed until they are in their late stages. however, early diagnosis makes a world of difference.
In addition, beauty products especially skin lighteners which are very popular in Africa cause lots of problems including skin cancers, liver and kidney diseases. Hence some of them are generally hazardous.
Other aspects include screening for hypertension, Diabetes, Cholesterol and others. These diseases should be controlled. In addition, there is a need for lifestyle modifications which include a healthy diet, exercise, reduction of alcohol intake, quitting smoking and all. It is a presentation for everybody.

Being a man or a woman has a significant impact on health, as a result of both biological and gender-related differences.
Some of the sociocultural factors that prevent women and girls to benefit from quality health services and attaining the best possible level of health include:
Unequal power relationships between men and women;
Social norms that decrease education and paid employment opportunities;
An exclusive focus on women’s reproductive roles; and
Potential or actual experience of physical, sexual and emotional violence.
While poverty is an important barrier to positive health outcomes for both men and women, poverty tends to yield a higher burden on women and girls’ health due to, for example, feeding practices (malnutrition) and use of unsafe cooking fuels (COPD).
Malnutrition
Nutrition plays a major role in and individual’s overall health, psychological and physical health status is often dramatically impacted by the presence of malnutrition.
India has one of the highest rates of malnourished women among developing countries.
Maternal malnutrition has been associated with an increased risk of maternal mortality and also child birth defects.
Lack of maternal health
The lack of maternal health contributes to the economic disparities of mothers and their children.
Poor maternal health not only affects a child’s health in adverse ways but also decreases a woman’s ability to participate in economic activities. Therefore, national health programs such as the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) and the Family Welfare Program have been created to address the maternal health care needs of women across India.
India contributes to nearly 20 percent of all maternal deaths worldwide between 1992 and 2006.
For those states where there is higher literacy and growth rates tend to have greater maternal health and also lower infant mortality.
Suicide
Suicide is a major problem in India. The suicide rate in India is five times higher than that of the developed world. Furthermore, the rate of suicide has been found to be higher in women as compared to men in India.
The most common reasons for women's suicide is directly related to Depression.
Anxiety
Gender discrimination
Domestic Violence
Domestic violence is a major issues in India. Domestic violence is defined as acts of physical, psychological, and sexual violence against women is found across the world and is currently viewed as a hidden epidemic by the World Health Organization.
As per reports of India National Family Health Survey III (2005-2006), 31 percent of all women reported having been the victims of physical violence in the last 12 months. The study found that the poorest women faired worst among middle and high-income women.
This talk is to promote population health via preventive medicine, immunization, healthy life style, exercise, food, decreased diabetes, hypertension and cancer risks

Mentoring is very important in all organizations and institutions.
It is also very important in Medical education, training and practice.
There are different types of mentoring. this includes supervisory, mentoring circle and peer mentoring.
There are many qualities of good mentors. This includes the knowledge base, availability, honesty and the ability to inspire.
Mentors are generally Role models. Good mentors include Challengers, cheerleaders, educators, coaches, connectors and others. There are many benefits of good mentoring.
Bad mentors may be unavailable and bad role models. Some of them are nay-sayers, bloviators, puppeteers, hoarders and others.
this lecture was given in the early days of the COVID-19 PANDEMIC. There were many issues with disclosure and confidentiality.
This lecture handles the issues on issues of Medical ethics as it concerns disclosure.

Challenges of Residency training in Nigeria.pptxBerthaCHiomaEkeh
Residency training is the postgraduate/speciality training for Medical Doctors. It is usually carried in a hospital.
The residency training programme has two prongs.
The first prong is working while the second prong is training.
It is a very hectic programme where the Medical Doctor is charged with studying very hard as well as working very hard.
it is therefore very hectic.
there is so much stress as well as Doctor burnout.
There are therefore so many challenges.
These challenges are more so in developing countries than Nigeria.
Challenges of Residency training in Nigeria.pptxBerthaCHiomaEkeh
Residency training is the period of post graduate training in Medicine. It is a two -pronged programme. One prong is post graduate training. The second prong is work. It is akin to have two very hectic jobs. The Medical Doctor is therefore tasked to study very hard as well as work very hard. It is therefore very challenging.
This is more so in the developing country like Nigeria.

Cryptogenic Strokes and Strokes of uncommon Aetiology.pptxBerthaCHiomaEkeh
Stroke is a public health issue. There are well-known and well-established risk factors.
This includes Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus, Lipid disorders, Cardiac disease, Atrial fibrillation and others.
However, there are cases when the risk factor is not that obvious. These are called cryptogenic Strokes.
This talk elucidates the fewer known causes and the details of investigations.
The World Stroke Organization estimates that 1 in 4 persons will have a stroke in a lifetime.
This is worrisome. Stroke is the 3rd highest killer after Ischaemic heart disease and cancer. hence it has become a public health emergency. Regrettably, the prevalence of stroke is very high in Sub-Saharan Africa. In the same way, the high stroke mortality is also much higher in SSA.
the prevention of stroke is possible. It involves screening for risk factors like Hypertension, Diabetes, Cholesterol disorders , cardiac diseases and others. thereafter, these diseases should be treated. more importantly, there is a need for lifestyle modification. This involves the following: healthy diet, exercise, reduction of Alcohol intake and salt etc.
This is a Health Talk on the prevention of Stroke for everyone out there who wants to take charge of their health conditions.
The presentation is prepared in an easy way. It has very colourful pictures.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

I HAVE NO CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
4. Introduction
"The doctor of the future will give no
medicine, but will interest his
patients in the care of human frame,
and in the cause and prevention of
disease."
- T. A. Edison
5.
6. Health promotion
Defined by the World Health Organization's (WHO) 2005 Bangkok Charter for
Health Promotion in a Globalized World as
"the process of enabling people to
increase control over their health and its
determinants, and thereby improve their
health".
7. Principles of health promotion
Includes five domains:
Screening for disease at an early stage
Counseling about a healthy lifestyle (e.g., diet, exercise, smoking cessation, falls prevention, safe
driving)
Immunizations (pneumococcal, influenza, tetanus vaccines)
Chemoprophylaxis (aspirin, statins, bisphosphonates)
System changes to promote patient safety
8. Importance of Screening
A primary goal of screening
The early detection of a risk factor or disease at a stage when it can be corrected or
cured
Early identification of hypertension or hyperlipidemia allows therapeutic
interventions that reduce the risk of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events
Routine antenatal checks
9. Commonly screened diseases
Breast cancer and cervical cancer in women
Colorectal cancer
Diabetes
High blood pressure
High cholesterol
Osteoporosis
Overweight and obesity
Prostate cancer in men
HIV Screening
11. Prostate Gland
The prostate sits deep in the pelvis, beneath the bladder
It’s a small, soft organ: size of a walnut or a ping-pong ball about 30g in weight.
The most important is producing seminal fluid: a component of semen
Plays a role in hormone production
Helps regulate urine flow
The urethra, a tube that carries urine and semen out of the body, passes through
the prostate.
12. Benign Prostate enlargement
Aging process
Affects 1/3 of men > 50 Yrs
May cause symptoms
May improve
Occ Prostatectomy
13. Symptoms of prostate enlargement
Frequent urge to urinate especially in the night
Difficulty in starting and maintaining urination
Blood in urine or semen
Pain or burning urination
Painful ejaculation
Frequent pain or stiffness in lower back, hips, pelvic or rectal area, or upper thighs
Dribbling of urine or weak stream
Incomplete emptying
14. Prostate Cancer
Commoner in men older than 60 years: most often diagnosed in men aged 65-74
years
Seen in men as young as 17 years
Mortality over 2-fold higher in Blacks than in Whites
Incidence is highest in Blacks and Caribbean men of African descent
Risk factors include ethnicity, age, and country of residence.
15. Prostate Cancer
There are often “NO Symptoms” during the early stages
Advanced symptoms
May still also show no symptoms
Advanced prostate cancer present with the following:
Bone pains
Unexplained weight loss
Fatigue
16. Screening for Prostate cancer
Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Test
PSA is a substance made by the prostate
High levels of PSA in the blood that cancer may be present
PSA levels also can be affected by—Certain medical procedures, medications, An
enlarged prostate or A prostate infection
17. Breast Cancer
It is the most frequently diagnosed life-threatening cancer in women
It is the leading cause of cancer death in women in less developed countries
It has been surpassed by lung cancer as a cause of cancer death in women in
developed countries.
Early breast cancers are asymptomatic; No pain or discomfort
Breast cancer is often first detected as an abnormality on a mammogram before it
is felt by the patient or healthcare provider.
18. Risk Factors
Risk factors you cannot change
Increasing age especially after the age of 50 years
Inherited genes like BRCA1 and BRCA2 have a higher risk of breast and ovarian
cancers
Early menarche (<12 years) and late menopause (>55years) high levels of
hormones
Previous history of breast cancer
Family history; first degree relatives or multiple family members
19. Angelina Jolie
12% of women will develop breast cancer
60% 0f those who have inherited a harmful
mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2
Women who have at least two close
relatives—a mother, sister, or daughter—who
have had breast or ovarian cancer are also at
much higher risk
Jolie’s mother died of ovarian cancer at age
56
These women are good candidates for
prophylactic mastectomy
20. Contd
Risk Factors You Can Change
Physically inactivity
Obesity especially after menopause
Hormones like oral contraceptives and hormone replacement after menopause
1st pregnancy after the age of 30 years, not breastfeeding
Drinking Alcohol
Smoking
21. Symptoms of Breast cancer
New lump in the breast or armpit
Thickening or swelling of part of the breast
Irritation or dimpling of the skin of the breast
Redness or flaky skin in the nipple area or the breast
Nipple pain
Discharge other than breast milk, including blood
Any change in the size or the shape of the breast
Pain in any area of the breast
22.
23. Screening for Breast cancer
Women in their 20s and 30s should have a clinical breast exam (CBE)
This should be part of a periodic (regular) health exam by a health professional
preferably every 3 years
Starting at age 40, women should have a CBE by a health professional every year
Women age 40 and older should have a mammogram every year
25. Symptoms of cervical cancer
Bleeding between periods
Bleeding after sexual intercourse
Bleeding in post-menopausal women
Discomfort during sexual intercourse
Vaginal discharge with a strong odor
Vaginal discharge tinged with blood
Pelvic pain
26. Cervical cancer
There are 2 types of tests used for cervical cancer screening.
The Pap test
The HPV (human papilloma virus) test
All women should begin cervical cancer screening at age 21.
Women between the ages of 21 and 29 should have a Pap test every 3 years.
They should not be tested for HPV unless it is needed after an abnormal Pap
test result.
Women between the ages of 30 and 65 should have both a Pap test and an
HPV test every 5 years
This is the preferred approach, but it is also OK to have a Pap test alone every
3 years.
30. Triple Curse
This was actually defined in African Americans
More likely to be hypertensive
Less likely to have their blood pressure controlled
Once it's not controlled, it's 3 times worse" in terms of stroke risk
George Howard, Dr PH, professor, biostatistics, School of Public Health, University of Alabama at Birmingham
53. Why skin products?
The skin is the largest organ in the body
Absorption from all the pores of the body
Dangerous substances include: Hydroquinone, Mercury
Dangers range from destruction of the skin, kidneys, liver
Skin cancer
54. Safe Sex
Death Toll from HIV
WHO estimates that as of 2021HIV/AIDS has killed approximately 40.1 million
people
Approx 38.4 million people are infected with HIV globally
700,000 still die from HIV every year
Hepatitis B/Liver cancer
