Update! Kindly share to loved ones. On Friday, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed reports of diphtheria cases in the states of Lagos and Kano. Diphtheria is a dangerous bacterial infection that affects the throat and nose mucous membranes. Diphtheria, despite its ease of transmission, is preventable with vaccines. The NCDC also stated that it was keeping a close eye on the situation in Osun and Yobe states, where cases are now being reported. Diphtheria is fatal in 5–10% of cases, with young children having a higher mortality rate. As of January 13, no fewer than 25 people had been killed by the infectious disease, and Kano state had 58 suspected cases. The NCDC reported an outbreak of the disease in Borno state in 2011, with 98 cases and 21 deaths (case fatality ratio of 21.4%).

Causes
Diphtheria is caused by the bacteria Corynebacterium diphtheriae and spreads through person-to-person contact or contaminated objects. Even if they are asymptomatic, an infected person can spread the bacteria for up to six weeks.

Symptoms
Symptoms of diphtheria can appear 2–5 days after infection and range from mild to severe. The most common symptom is a thick, gray coating on the throat and tonsils. Other common symptoms include fever, chills, swollen glands, coughing, a sore throat, bluish skin, drooling, and discomfort. Additional symptoms such as difficulty breathing or swallowing, changes in vision, slurred speech, and shock may also occur as the infection progresses. Cutaneous diphtheria, or diphtheria of the skin, can also occur in people with poor hygiene or living in tropical areas, causing ulcers and redness on the skin.

Prevention
Diphtheria can be prevented through antibiotics and vaccines. The vaccine is called DTaP and is typically given in a series of five shots for children at 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 15-18 months and 4-6 years. It can cause allergic reactions in rare cases. Vaccines last for 10 years and will need to be updated. Adults are recommended to get a combined diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis booster shot once and then every 10 years.

A glass of wine in the evening might help you fall asleep, but can impact the quality of your slumber, leaving you sluggish the following day. To help prevent this, avoid drinking close to bedtime to give your body time to process the alcohol. As a rough guide, it’s thought to take one hour for your body to process one unit of alcohol, although this varies between individuals. To find out more about the units in your drink – and to ensure you’re not exceeding the maximum 14 units a week – use the Unit Calculator on drinkaware.co.uk.

A small k**b of butter or light drizzle of oil on veggies isn’t just delicious, but can be health helpful, too. “Some nutrients, such as vitamins A, D, E and K (found in green vegetables and sweet potatoes) are fat soluble so a smidgen of fat, such as olive oil, helps with nutrient absorption,” says Ian Marber, a leading independent nutrition therapist (ianmarber.com).

OK, it may not be as comfy as your super-squashy sofa, but according to studies of the world’s longest-living populations, sitting on the floor can help us stay healthier for longer. For example, in Okinawa in Japan, home to the longest-living women in the world, most sitting, whether to read, eat or talk, is done on the floor. The reason it’s so beneficial? Repeatedly standing from a seated position on the floor is good for flexibility, strength and co-ordination, which are all known to have favorable influences on life expectancy.

At the event held on Saturday, 20 August, 2022, the family of Abikan commissioned a medical centre in the Olrunshogo area of Ilorin, Kwara State.

The commissioning ceremony had earlier started on Tuesday with special prayers led by Islamic clerics, followed by free medical check-ups on Wednesday and Thursday for members of the public.

According to co-founder, Mrs. Taiwo Afusat Oshodi-Abikan, the centre sets out to provide best practice healthcare service to the surrounding communities. She further revealed that the establishment would not only serve as a hospital where patients are treated, but also a wellness centre to communicate and educate people on various diseases, such as diabetes, sickle cell anemia, HIV, hepatitis, malaria among others.
In her words, the centre would partner with public medical organisations and NGOs both in America and Nigeria in order to ensure high quality service to the society.
Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, the founder, Mr. Abdulgafar Abdulkadir Abikan, thanked the participants in attendance. He noted that the poor response to patients medical needs and the lost of their health records in many hospitals led him to establish a high quality hospital.
He also said the reason he introduced online records was to have efficient way of keeping medical records safe and easily accessible. This will help in facilitating partnership with medical professionals from the United States and other part of the world to treat our people via telemed. In addition, this provides an opportunity for patients to view their electronic medical records on their compatible phones/devices.
Dr. Raji Rasaq, the Kwara State Commissioner for Health, represented by Dr. Arigidi Stephen, in his speech thanked the founders for giving back to the society. He added that the management should also make the services reachable to the common masses as well as implementing plans to ensure that quality is maintained.
While giving his remarks, Prof Sulyman Kuranga, a former CMD of Unilorin Teaching Hospital, commended the founders for the establishment of this top-notch hospital, especially this time
