The world is a stage where mankind has set standards.
The interpretation of the standards is peculiar to each country or group of people.
Those who set the standards are at competition to proclaim that their own standards are the highest and best.
The poor, and the have none when it comes to development are the preys.

Prostate cancer is the slow killer condition among male Africans of middle age.
I have refused to use the words black Africans or Americans because they are racist language which 'SCIENCE' from time immemorial did not permit.
Nature created variations for its own purpose.
Plants appeared before animals to provide food for the latter.
Man, the ruler of the animal kingdom created division and language barriers to suit his own purpose and ambition.
The prostate, an organ of reproduction belongs to the genitourinary system of the body.
Only the male s*x has a prostate although a synonymous structure (the uterus) but of different function is present in the female.
The prostate grows to adulthood and begins to produce the prostatic juice required by the male s***m for swimming during copulation and fertilization.
It is an important organ in male reproduction.
It is related to the kidneys because the tubes carrying urine from the kidney pass through the prostate.
Because the prostate is constantly growing, it can overgrow to block the urine channel passing through it and can cause the condition referred to as difficulty in passing urine.
As the male ages and the prostate enlarges, its cells within it can undergo cancerous changes.
Therefore prostate cancer comes with age and male prostate screening for cancer should be done with advancing age above 50 years.
The doctor who manages prostate disease is referred to as a 'UROLOGIST"
Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH) is a milder disease than prostate cancer.

The concern of the general public about STROKE:
A cerebrovascular accident popularly called Stroke by the layperson is a serious emergency medical condition managed by the neurologist, neurosurgeon, and physiotherapists.
The condition is only equaled by heart conditions and malignancies.
All parts of the human are well represented in the brain and the tongue, thumb, and toe are the structural body parts best represented on the cerebral cortex of the brain.
Bleeding into the brain causes a condition called cerebrovascular accident or stroke.
Because of their high representation in the brain the tongue, thumb (upper extremities and big toe (lower extremities) are the first structures to manifest the effects of Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or stroke.
Slurred or altered speech, loss of consciousness, weakness, and/or reduced sensation of the extremities are some of the features of stroke.
It is called a Cerebrovascular accident because it can occur without warning.
Road traffic accidents causing head injury can manifest with features of stroke such as loss of consciousness.
Blood in the brain either from vessel rupture within the brain or as a result of road traffic accident (RTA) or a blow to the head can cause impaired consciousness. Or if any part of the brain is deprived of its blood supply that part of the body represented on the brain shows the features of stroke.
Stroke can manifest as a transient ischaemic attack, popularly called TIA, and can completely resolve without evidence of permanent damage, e.g. slurred speech, localized loss of sensation, or slipping of the extremities.
When the individual involved in a major or massive stroke survives the attack there are stigmata of the attack as stated above and the roles played by the physiotherapist become very important.
In my next discussion, I shall cover the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and general management of stroke patients.

Surgical experience/practise in the 3rd World Countries are the two main challenges facing the young doctors that have finished training. Orthodox medicine faces stiff competition with traditional medicine healers in the 3rd World.
The common or ordinary man believes in quick healing especially in areas of orthopaedics where a minimum period of 2 weeks is required for the bone to begin to show evidence of healing.
Wound healing/management, in some major Hospitals in third World countries, is usually left in the hands of inexperienced staffs and when complicated by non healing, the ill formed patients associate the failure to witch craft and other diabolical factors.
The ability of the traditional healers to formulate non substantiated reasons for delayed wound healing give them the upper hands over the orthodox medical doctors.
The rural population need to be educated on the importance of nutrition, simple hygiene and patience if their confidence is to be won over the traditional healers.
The newly qualified doctors need assistance of well qualified staff nurses and midwives in the management of O & G patients. Traditional midwives should be integrated into primary health care at the local level and the old Sanitary workers' role be revived to help with community health education.
Simple diagnostic tools like telescopes to view malaria parasites in blood smears should be provided in primary health centres.
The function of the Ministry of Health at the local level should also be extended to the traditional rulers/heads who are able to mobilise the local people/general public for the purpose of education on nutrition and simple hygiene.
