Imagine your body is a castle 🏰.

Sometimes, bad germs (tiny invaders) try to break into the castle and make you sick.

Your antibiotics are like little soldiers 🛡️⚔️.

Their job is to find the bad germs and stop them.

At first, the soldiers are very good at winning...

[AFO @Dr_Afo]

Explain antibiotics resistance to me like I'm a 5 year old.

“It’s just malaria.”

That’s what everyone said.

So 24-year-old Ada bought malaria drugs from a nearby pharmacy and stayed home.

Three days later, she couldn’t recognize her own mother.

👇

She didn’t have malaria.

She had meningitis.

By the time she got to the hospital, the infection had spread to her brain.

She survived.

But she lost her hearing forever.

Meningitis can begin like a common fever.

Then come:
• A severe headache.
• Neck stiffness.
• Vomiting.
• Confusion.
• Sensitivity to light.
• Seizures.

It’s a medical emergency.

Not every fever is malaria.

If a fever is accompanied by severe headache, neck stiffness, confusion, or repeated vomiting, seek urgent medical care.

Hours can make the difference between a full recovery and a lifetime disability.

Don’t self-diagnose. Your life may depend on it.

A severely malnourished 4-year-old boy develops fever, foul-smelling breath, necrotizing gingivitis, and rapid gangrenous destruction of the cheek following measles.

@0xbuchi @popoolaadaniel I think it is okay to have it as two years because that Ana, Physio and Biochem need to be drummed into the students person.

The lapses in understanding clinical stuff is secondary to a faulty foundation in these three boys.

Disclaimer: length is not independent of discipline.

For the genetically poor responders.

Accept it with your full chest or if you can afford a safe hair transplant 😉

[OPTIMISTIC DOCTOR @Ennan_D]

Minoxidil isn't a magic switch it only stimulates hair follicles that are still alive. If your follicles are absent, severely miniaturized, or you're genetically a poor responder, the results may be minimal or absent. Factors like consistency, dosage, and the underlying cause of hair loss also make a big difference.

@realbig_shak @Nanyo_sae If I need the same money for another thing, it actually means I can't afford to spend that money on another need.
I believe you can only afford something when getting it won't cost the purchasability of another.

@Ausbones Hypoglycemia → Due to cortisol deficiency, which impairs gluconeogenesis and increases insulin sensitivity.

____________________________

This is a medical emergency requiring immediate treatment with IV fluids, dextrose if needed, and IV hydrocortisone.

[Henry Destiny Gwazayet @dr_henrydg]

@Ausbones Hyponatremia → Caused by sodium loss from aldosterone deficiency and increased ADH secretion due to cortisol deficiency.

Hyperkalemia → Results from aldosterone deficiency, which reduces renal potassium excretion.

In critically ill patients, urine output and the overall clinical picture are often more reliable than serum creatinine alone.

A "stable" creatinine should not delay recognition or management of worsening AKI, especially in the presence of oliguria and fluid overload.

[Henry Destiny Gwazayet @dr_henrydg]

Reduced creatinine production:

Critically ill patients often have muscle wasting, malnutrition, or liver dysfunction, so they produce less creatinine. Serum creatinine may appear stable even though kidney function is worsening.

[Dr. August Bones @Ausbones]

The creatinine has stopped rising in a critically ill patient, but urine output is falling and fluid overload is worsening. Why might the 'stable' creatinine be falsely reassuring?

[Henry Destiny Gwazayet @dr_henrydg]

Ongoing acute kidney injury (AKI): Falling urine output (oliguria) and worsening fluid overload are strong clinical signs that the kidneys are still failing, regardless of the creatinine level.

@doctorBen08 Vitamin D

[Henry Destiny Gwazayet @dr_henrydg]

@semeonfrank Both viral infections (e.g., rhinovirus, influenza) and bacterial infections (e.g., Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Moraxella catarrhalis) commonly precipitate exacerbations.

[Henry Destiny Gwazayet @dr_henrydg]

@semeonfrank A. Viral or bacterial respiratory infection

Respiratory infections are the most common trigger of an acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

[Henry Destiny Gwazayet @dr_henrydg]

The last statement is whatever you think it is.

It is trueeee

[Dr POPOOLA 🌐⚕️ @popoolaadaniel]

I've done this procedure on countless people and it's so sad.

Hep B and C and stop taking alcohol today. Also, forget about those people that say you should take herbs to "cure" your Hepatitis. You'll come back and die.
