A devastating disease for which no definitive cure is available for most people. Occupational safety for miners, stone blasters, quarry workers is a right. @Mglsd_UG. #pneumoconiosis #silicosis. Nice reporting @Rikaug @newvisionwire

The more serious your job, the more unserious your hobbies need to be. I will not be explaining further.

If there’s one thing I want Muslims to take away from the winning of Zohran Mamdani and Abdul-Sayed is that Islam’s most compelling argument is working for the welfare of all people. Let’s get back to charity work for the sake of helping people not making our pockets fat.

Today, during a ward round we saw a young man in late twenties in respiratory failure from silica dust. He worked in gold mines for 7 yrs and was never told about wet drilling or routine use of masks to prevent dust injury. He has been and continues to depend on hospital oxygen for more than 4 months. There many young men like him @MinofHealthUG @MinofEnergyUG, @minersassoc @brucekirenga No job should cost a young man his breath!

[ALTON 🩺 @NewtonAllan6]

The passing of the King of Toro has brought attention to a relatively uncommon but very aggressive cancer: GLIOBLASTOMA (GBM).

GBM is a WHO grade 4 malignant brain tumour that grows rapidly and infiltrates surrounding brain tissue.

What causes it?
In most cases, the exact cause is UNKNOWN. It usually results from acquired DNA/genetic changes in brain cells that make them grow uncontrollably. It is generally not inherited, and there is no evidence that ordinary lifestyle factors such as smoking, alcohol, stress or specific foods directly cause GBM.

Risk factors include:
1. Increasing age more common in older adults, though it can occur at any age.
2. Previous exposure to ionising radiation, especially to the head.
3. Rare inherited syndromes such as neurofibromatosis and Li Fraumeni syndrome.
4. Male sex, gliomas occur somewhat more frequently in men

Importantly, most people who develop GBM have none of these identifiable risk factors.

How common is it?

Brain and other CNS cancers are relatively uncommon. Brain and other nervous system cancers occur at about 6.1 cases per 100,000 people per year. Globally, there were approximately 321,476 new brain and CNS cancer cases in 2022, although this includes several tumour types, not just GBM.

Symptoms may include:
Persistent/worsening headaches, seizures, vomiting, personality or behavioural changes, memory problems, difficulty speaking, visual problems, weakness/numbness, and problems with balance or coordination.

These symptoms do NOT necessarily mean someone has a brain tumour, but persistent or progressive neurological symptoms should be medically assessed.

Treatment usually involves maximal safe surgical removal, followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy, commonly temozolomide.

Unfortunately, GBM is highly aggressive, infiltrates surrounding brain tissue and has a high tendency to recur, making it one of the most difficult cancers to treat.

The important message: GBM is uncommon, aggressive, and in most cases there is no obvious thing a person did to cause it.

May the King of Toro rest in peace. 🕊️

Oh to be disgustingly educated. To have a degree with your name on it. To enter rooms and raise the standard. To know your stuff and know it well. To have knowledge nobody can take from you. Such a big flex.

During my time at the hospital,I noticed caretakers force-feeding very ill patients when lying down flat on hospital beds, I want to caution the public that this can result into aspiration pneumonia which has sent many patients to an early grave. Let’s desist from this practice!
