First aid refers to the emergency or immediate care you should provide when a person is injured or ill until full medical treatment is available. For minor conditions, first aid care may be enough. For serious problems, first aid care should be continued until more advanced care becomes available.

The decision to act appropriately with first aid can mean the difference between life and death. Begin by introducing yourself to the injured or ill person. Explain that you are a first aid provider and are willing to help. The person must give you permission to help them; do not touch them until they agree to be helped. If you encounter a confused person or someone who is critically injured or ill, you can assume that they would want you to help them. This is known as “implied consent.

FIRST AID BASIC
🏥W.K.M
The first step in any emergency is the recognition of the problem and providing help When in doubt or when someone is seriously injured or ill, you should always activate the emergency response system by calling 911 in the United States, or your own locality’s Emergency Medical Services number. If you’re not sure how serious the situation is, the 911/EMS operator will ask you a series of questions to determine the severity of the situation.

Remain on the line until additional help arrives, or until the 911/EMS operator tells you to hang up. Emergency system dispatchers can guide you through the steps of performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), using an automated external defibrillator (AED), or delivering basic care until additional help arrives.

Whether you are at home, work, or school, know where the first aid kit and the AED are kept and be familiar with their contents. Know how to activate the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) in your area. Be aware of any policies in the workplace regarding medical emergencies.

After determining the problem, the next step in providing help is to determine the responsiveness of the injured or ill person. The best way

MONKEY POX
✓Causes signs and symptoms which usually begin within a week but can start 1–21 days after exposure.
✓ Symptoms typically last 2–4 weeks but may last longer in someone with a weakened immune system.

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF MPOX ARE:
•Rash
•Fever
•Sore throat
•Headache
•Muscle aches
•Back pain
•Low energy
•Swollen lymph nodes

*For some people, the first symptom of mpox is a rash, while others may have different symptoms first.
*The rash begins as a flat sore which develops into a blister filled with liquid and may be itchy or painful.
*As the rash heals, the lesions dry up, crust over and fall off.
*Some people may have one or a few skin lesions and others have hundreds or more. These can appear anywhere on the body such as the:
✓palms of hands
✓soles of feet
✓face, mouth and throat
✓groin and ge***al areas
✓anus

*Some people also have painful swelling of their re**um or pain and difficulty when peeing.
*People with mpox are infectious and can pass the disease on to others until all sores have healed and a new layer of skin has formed.
*Children, pregnant people and people with weak immune systems are at risk for complications from mpox.

WHAT IS TONSILS
*Tonsillitis~ is inflammation of the tonsils, two oval-shaped pads of tissue at the back of the throat — one tonsil on each side.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
✓Swollen tonsils
✓Sore throat
✓Difficulty swallowing
✓Tender lymph nodes on the sides of the neck.
CAUSES
*Most cases of tonsillitis are caused by infection with a common virus, but bacterial infections also may cause tonsillitis.

Because appropriate treatment for tonsillitis depends on the cause, it's important to get a prompt and accurate diagnosis. Surgery to remove tonsils, once a common procedure to treat tonsillitis, is usually performed only when tonsillitis occurs frequently, doesn't respond to other treatments or causes serious complications.

Certain foods are believed to support s***m production due to their nutrient content. Here are some nutrients and foods that may help in the production of s***m cells:

1. **Zinc**: Zinc is essential for male fertility and s***m production. Foods rich in zinc include oysters, red meat, poultry, beans, nuts, and seeds.

2. **Folate**: Folate, also known as vitamin B9, is important for s***m health. Foods high in folate include leafy green vegetables, beans, lentils, and citrus fruits.

3. **Antioxidants**: Antioxidants help protect s***m from damage and support overall s***m health. Foods rich in antioxidants include berries, nuts, seeds, and vegetables like carrots, spinach, and bell peppers.

4. **Omega-3 fatty acids**: Omega-3 fatty acids are important for s***m health and may help improve s***m count and motility. Sources of omega-3s include fatty fish (such as salmon, mackerel, and sardines), flaxseeds, and walnuts.

5. **Vitamin D**: Vitamin D is important for testosterone production and overall reproductive health. Sunlight is a natural source of vitamin D, and it can also be found in foods like fatty fish, fortified dairy products, and egg yolks.

6. **Fruits and vegetables**: Consuming a variety of fruits and vegetables provides essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support overall health, including reproductive health.

7. **Whole grains**: Whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, and whole wheat provide important nutrients like B vitamins and fiber that support overall health, including fertility.

It's important to maintain a well-balanced diet that includes a variety of nutrient-rich foods to support s***m production and overall reproductive health. If you have concerns about fertility or s***m health, it's best to consult with a healthcare provider or a fertility specialist for personalized advice and guidance

In 1932 28 April Yellow fever vaccine was announced for use on human.
This is an infectious disease transmitted by mosquitoes that bite mostly during the day.
As of 2023, 34 countries in Africa and 13 countries in Central and South America are either endemic for, or have regions that are endemic for, yellow fever.
Yellow fever is prevented by a vaccine, which is safe and affordable. A single dose of yellow fever vaccine is sufficient to grant life-long protection.
A modelling study based on African data sources estimated the burden of yellow fever during 2013 was 84 000–170 000 severe cases and 29 000–60 000 deaths (1).

*WHAT IS HYPERTENSION?
✓HYPERTENSION is elevated blood pressure exceeding 140 over 90 mmHg

*WHAT ARE NORMAL BLOOD PRESSURE NUMBERS?
✓A normal blood pressure level is less than 120/80 mmHg. No matter your age, you can take steps each day to keep your blood pressure in a healthy range.
• Blood pressure is determined by the interaction of cardiac output and peripheral resistance

WHAT IS HYPERTENSION?

Hypertension is defined as a systolic blood pressure greater than 140 mmHg and a diastolic pressure of more than 90 mmHg.
This is based on the average of two or more accurate blood pressure measurements during two or more consultations with the healthcare provider.
The normal range for blood pressure is between, less than 120 mmHg and less than 80 mmHg.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
In a normal circulation, pressure is transferred from the heart muscle to the blood each time the heart contracts and then pressure is exerted by the blood as it flows through the blood vessels.

The pathophysiology of hypertension follows.

•Hypertension is a multifactorial

✓When there is excess sodium intake, renal sodium retention occurs, which increases fluid volume resulting in increased preload and increase in contractility.

✓Obesity is also a factor in hypertension because hyperinsulinemia develops and structural hypertrophy results leading to increased peripheral vascular resistance.

✓Genetic alteration also plays a role in the development of hypertension because when there is cell membrane alteration, functional constriction may follow and also results in increased peripheral vascular resistance.

CAUSES
• Hypertension has a lot of causes just like how fever has many causes. The factors that are implicated as causes of hypertension are:

1•Increased sympathetic nervous system activity. Sympathetic nervous system activity increases because there is dysfunction in the autonomic nervous system.
2•Increase renal reabsorption. There is an increase reabsorption of sodium, chloride, and water which is related to a genetic variation in the pathways by which the kidneys handle sodium.
Increased RAAS activity. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system increases its activity leading to the expansion of extracellular fluid volume and increased systemic vascular resistance.
3•Decreased vasodilation of the arterioles. The vascular endothelium is damaged because of the decrease in the vasodilation of the arterioles.

*HOW ONE CAN KNOW IF THEY ARE HYPERTENSIVE?
•Many people who have hypertension are asymptomatic at first. Physical examination may reveal no abnormalities except for an elevated blood pressure, so one must be prepared to recognize hypertension at its earliest through the signs bellow and come for check up.

1• HEADACHE.
The red blood cells carrying oxygen is having a hard time reaching the brain because of constricted vessels, causing headache.
2• DIZZINESS
occurs due to the low concentration of oxygen that reaches the brain.
3• CHEST PAIN
Chest pain occurs also due to decreased oxygen levels.
4• BLURRED VISION.
Blurred vision may occur later on because of too much constriction in the blood vessels of the eye that red blood cells carrying oxygen cannot pass through.

*HOW CAN ONE PREVENT HIMSELF FROM THIS CONDITION?
✓Prevention of hypertension mainly relies on a healthy lifestyle and self-discipline.

✓Weight reduction. Maintenance of normal body weight can help prevent hypertension.
Adopt DASH. DASH or the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension includes consummation of a diet rich in fruits, vegetable, and low-fat dairy.
Dietary sodium retention. Sodium contributes to an elevated blood pressure, so reducing the dietary intake to no more than 2.4 g sodium per day can be really helpful.
✓Physical activity. Engage in regular aerobic physical activity for 30 minutes thrice every week.
✓Moderation of alcohol consumption. Limit alcohol consumption to no more than 2 drinks per day in men and one drink for women and people who are lighter in weight.
