The body reacts in several ways to stop more bleeding when someone suffers from an injury either internal or external. However, in haemophilia, these components that help stop bleeding are absent, leading to persistent bleeding that, in some circumstances, can be life-threatening. This includes nose, gum, and joint bleeding after small traumas, as well as bleeding after circumcision or injections. Sometimes blood is detected in the urine or faeces without a known reason. Haemophilia primarily manifests in men and runs in families.

The majority of those who have haemophilia are still undiagnosed, hence the day is devoted to teaching people about the importance of early identification of the condition for better care. This event provides a platform to spread knowledge and educate people about haemophilia and other bleeding disorders. We want to promote more accurate diagnosis and open access to care for those who have haemophilia. It is an appeal to local government officials and healthcare policymakers to emphasise the importance of the prevention of bleeding incidence and the availability of efficient diagnostic and management options for all those living with haemophilia.

Female Medical Doctors and Fashion

Female Medical Doctors And Fashion A Standard Dress Code Is Relative Photo credit: istock Each professional’s clothing style has a significant impact on their presentation, reliability, and look. Formal healthcare personnel who aren’t dressed professionally must protect and defend their professional demeanour. The white coat has long been regarded as a medical doctor’s badge.

ROAD TO MASTERS IN THE US

jhsph.edu ROAD TO MASTERS PROGRAM IN THE US The first thing is deciding where you want to further your education. For me, I believe the United States stands out for various reasons 1. Their institutions/universities are among the best in the world 2. Unlike institutions in the UK, you do not have to pay tuition upfront. In fact in my case, I had come to the US, started my program and was way into my program before payment was required to register for courses for next term. I only paid acceptance fee back in Nigeria. 3. There are scholarships available in most institutions, but they are quite competitive. Do due diligence and research on the institutions you are applying to. This is a link of available scholarships in some institutions. 4. In lieu of scholarships there are loans available which do not require a co-signer/guarantor like Prodigy finance and Mpower Depending on when you ar...

NORTH AMERICAN CYSTIC FIBROSIS CONFERENCE (NACFC) 2024

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 2 Yet another exciting day at NACFC! I started with an interactive session on some research procedures, which I found helpful for my recruiting work and the data's impact on the population. I learned a lot from the CFTR genetics session, which aligns with one of my research group's projects, and the plenary session on The Journey to Understand and Advance Research in CFRD. I wrapped up the day by networking with colleagues at Johns Hopkins Cystic Fibrosis Center #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis
