📌 ACUTE TONSILLITIS / PHARYNGITIS: FAST FACTS

🦠 Most sore throats are caused by viruses
— Hindi kailangan ng antibiotics sa karamihan ng cases.

💊 Antibiotics are NOT always the answer
— Gamitin lang kapag confirmed o strongly suspected bacterial infection (hal. Group A Strep).

🧪 Follow clinical guidelines
— Throat exam, rapid tests, or clinical scoring para malaman kung kailangan talaga ng gamot.

🛡️ Help fight antimicrobial resistance
— Iwas sa unnecessary antibiotics para hindi tayo maubusan ng bisa ng gamot sa future.

🌡️ Supportive care is usually enough
— Hydration, rest, analgesics, at warm saltwater gargles.

❤️ Protect your health, protect our antibiotics!

The KDIGO 2024 Clinical Practice Guideline for Chronic Kidney Disease recommends estimating GFR using equations that combine both creatinine and cystatin C, such as CKD-EPI and EKFC, for more accurate assessment than either marker alone.

For patients with advanced CKD, clinicians should also use validated risk models to better predict the likelihood of progression to kidney failure.

Nuclear Medicine Week is celebrated to honor the vital role of nuclear medicine professionals — technologists, physicians, and scientists — who use radioactive materials to diagnose and treat diseases safely and accurately. ⚛️💙

💡 Why We Celebrate

To raise awareness about the importance of nuclear medicine in modern healthcare.

To recognize the dedication of those working behind the scenes in imaging and therapy.

To educate the public on how nuclear medicine helps detect diseases early — from cancer to heart and thyroid conditions — often before symptoms appear.

To inspire future professionals to join this dynamic and life-saving field.

📅 When It’s Celebrated

In many countries, including the Philippines, Nuclear Medicine Week is observed every first week of October, aligning with World Nuclear Medicine Day on October 7 — marking the anniversary of the discovery of radioactivity by Henri Becquerel in 1896.
