PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE II THE BEST WAY TO PREVENT FLU





 What is the best way to prevent the flu?

Yearly flu vaccinations are the best method for prevention – now more so than ever. Here is why a flu shot this year is highly recommended:

 

  •   Unprecedented times: The global COVID-19 pandemic has no doubt shaken our lives. Although the flu vaccine does not prevent COVID-19, it will minimize the burden of the flu’s effect on the body. Studies have confirmed that most patients infected with the flu in previous years did not get the flu vaccine, showing that a flu shot has demonstrable results.

 





  • Eligibility: Everyone over the age of 6 months can take the safe and effective measure of getting a flu shot every year. At the end of summer and when available, members of the community must get vaccinated, especially the ones from high risk categories such as young children, pregnant women, people with certain chronic health conditions, employees working in the healthcare sector, and people aged 65 years and older. 


                   


  •   Four strains: The annual flu shot protects against four different influenza viruses which are identified every year to be the most common or prevalent in communities. This is another reason for the efficacy of the vaccine.






  •   Minimal side effects: Side effects in flu shots are very rare, and even if they do occur, they pose less of a threat than the danger of getting infected by the influenza virus. Examples of the rare and temporary side effects include redness or pain in the injected area, low grade fever, and body aches.

WORKING IN UAE AS A REGISTERED NURSE

 Working as a registered  in a government hospital here in UAE is financially enough, only until a certain limit of age. When you reach 55-60 years old, a nurse can be considered on the list of those who might be in "ENDO" (which means end of contract). Whether you are still capable of working but to reach this stage means one should be financially ready to go at anytime.  So, this can actually be done if this person is wise enough to just think of nothing else each day but how to save and save and save. If you have this in mind, then it is doable to be financially free by the time you reach your ENDO.  Otherwise, you can still enjoy working abroad when you start planning on your next move and invest for the next country from here. Yes, I guess moving to either UK or US before having ENDO is a great idea especially now that the inflation rate in Philippines is so overwhelming talking about the high gas prices and the shortage of sugar plus the threat of another pande...

Breast Cancer Awareness in October

Image
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. Over the years, it has gained prominence around the world and is a very relevant topic in almost anywhere with the disease being highly prevalent in most countries worldwide. Early Detection:  There is a common misconception that breast cancer only affects older women. Global studies have shown that women between the age of 20 and 34, with a strong family history of the disease are most susceptible to the disease. All women, regardless of family history, must conduct an annual mammogram, after reaching the age of 35. Early detection of breast cancer is key to survival, and if women can be educated to self-check, this will help increase awareness and ultimately save lives.   It is okay to talk about it:  Women with breast cancer find it inappropriate to discuss the disease with their communities because it is still deemed a taboo. It is imperative that we communicate with one...

What is Cancer II Cancer awareness Month

What is Cancer? Cancer is a malignant neoplastic disorder that can involve all body organs with manifestations that vary according to the body system affected and type of tumor cells. Cells lose their normal growth-controlling mechanism, and the growth of cells is uncontrolled. Cancer produces serious health problems such as impaired immune and hematopoietic (blood-producing) function, altered gastrointestinal tract structure and function, motor and sensory deficits, and decresed respiratory function.  Metastasis Cancer cells move from their orginal location to other sites.  Routes of metastasis Local seeding: Distribution of shed cancer cells occurs in the local area of the primary tumor Blood-borne metastasis: Tunor cells enter the blood, which is the most common cause of cancer spread.  Lymphatic spread: Primarys sites rich in lymphatics are more susceptible to early metastatic spread Common sites of Metastasis Bladder Cancer Lung Bone Liver Pelvic, retroperitoneal str...
