LASSA FEVER

Also refers to as Viral hemorrhagic (hem-uh-RAJ-ik) fevers are infectious diseases that interfere with the blood's ability to clot. These diseases can also damage the walls of tiny blood vessels, making them leaky. The internal bleeding that results can range from relatively minor to life-threatening.
Some viral hemorrhagic fevers include:

Dengue

Ebola

Lassa

Marburg

Yellow fever

These diseases most commonly occur in tropical areas of the world. When viral hemorrhagic fevers occur in the African continent, United States, they're usually found in people who've recently traveled internationally.
Viral hemorrhagic fevers are spread by contact with infected animals, people or insects. No current treatment can cure viral hemorrhagic fevers, and immunizations exist for only a few types. Until additional vaccines are developed, the best approach is prevention.

SYMPTOMS

*Stroke/Emergency Management*
https://chat.whatsapp.com/KbqfTaJYHEtKJzIazTeE9w
*Introduction*
A stroke happens when the flow of blood to part of the brain is cut off. This is normally due to a clot in a blood vessel or a rupture which stops the flow of blood getting to the brain. The brain needs the oxygen in the blood to work properly. Lack of oxygen causes damage to the brain cells. The long-term effects of a stroke depend on which part of the brain is affected and how large an area is damaged. A stroke (or brain attack) is a medical emergency - you need to act fast.

*What to look for - Stroke*
If you think someone is having a stroke, check the three main symptoms using the FAST test:

*Face* ‒ look at their face and ask them to smile. Are they only able to smile on one side of their mouth? If yes, this is not normal.
*Arms* ‒ ask them to raise both arms. Are they only able to lift one arm? If yes, this is not normal.
*Speech* ‒ ask them to speak. Are they struggling to speak clearly? If yes, this is not normal.
*Time* ‒ if the answer to any of these three questions is yes, then it is time to call emergency number in your country or state or call for medical help and say you think the casualty is having a stroke.

*What you need to do - Stroke*
While you wait for help to arrive, keep them comfortable and supported. If they’re responsive then you can help them into a comfortable position
Keep checking their breathing, pulse and level of response. Don’t give them anything to eat or drink because it could be difficult for them to swallow so they might choke.

*Food Poisoning/Emergency Management*

*Introduction*
Food poisoning is caused by eating contaminated food. In most cases the food hasn’t been cooked properly and is contaminated by bacteria such as salmonella or Escherichia coli (E. coli), which are found mainly in meat.
https://chat.whatsapp.com/KbqfTaJYHEtKJzIazTeE9w
Someone may feel the effects of food poisoning within a few hours, and will often be sick or have diarrhoea. However, in some cases it can take up to three days.

The effects of food poisoning can make someone feel extremely ill. The most important thing is for you to keep encouraging the person to drink water so they don’t get dehydrated. Most people will get better without needing treatment.

*What to look for - Food poisoning*
If you think someone may have food poisoning, these are the five key things to look for:

Feeling sick
Vomiting, sometimes bloodstained
Stomach cramps
Diarrhoea
Headache or fever

*What you need to do - Food poisoning*
If you notice any of these symptoms, tell the person to lie down and rest.
Give them plenty of water and a bowl to use in case they are sick.
Encourage them to drink as much water as they can, even if they can only manage regular small sips. If they have diarrhoea, it’s even more important that they drink water to replace lost fluids.
Giving them an oral rehydration solution is good to way to replace fluids lost through diarrhoea and vomiting. This solution can replace salt and other minerals which they have lost. You can buy it in a pharmacy as a sachet which you dissolve in water.
If the person gets worse, then advise them to call their doctor or call for emergency medical help.

*Prevention of Gestational diabetes*

For most women, gestational diabetes goes away after giving birth. But having it makes you more likely to develop type 2 diabetes later in life. Type 2 diabetes is the most common kind of diabetes.
https://chat.whatsapp.com/HJGE7E2w2sMAvVsQ0Kn146
If you have type 2 diabetes, your pancreas makes too little insulin or your body becomes resistant to it (can’t use it normally).

*Here’s what you can do to help reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes after pregnancy:*

*Breastfeeding can help you lose weight after pregnancy.*
Being overweight makes you more likely to develop type 2 diabetes.
Get tested for diabetes 4 to 12 weeks after your baby is born. If the test is normal, get tested again every 1 to 3 years.
Get to and stay at a healthy weight.

Talk to your healthcare provider about Diet/medicine that may help prevent type 2 diabetes.
