Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is the necessary cause of cervical cancer.
Every woman is at risk of cervical cancer. Why?
The virus is transmitted through skin-to-skin genital contact, even without sexual penetration. Condoms do not offer full protection. Virus is heat-resistant & easily transmitted.
Risk factors: Young age at sexual debut ▪ Multiple sexual partners ▪ High number of pregnancies ▪ Smoking (current) ▪ Long-term use of oral contraceptives ▪ Sexually transmitted infections

Signs & symptoms - Early cervical cancer generally produces NO signs or symptoms. As the cancer progresses, these signs and symptoms may appear:
▪ Vaginal bleeding after intercourse, between periods or after menopause ▪ Watery, bloody vaginal discharge that may be heavy and have a foul odor ▪ Pelvic pain or pain during intercourse
Cervical cancer detection? Regular screening: PAP smear & visual inspection with acetic acid. BUT these do not prevent cancer.
Cervical cancer detection? Regular screening: PAP smear & visual inspection with acetic acid. BUT these do not prevent cancer.

Prevention –
Primary:
▪ Lifetime mutual monogamy
▪ Vaccination; Secondary:
▪ Cervical screening
▪ Early detection & treatment of HPV-associated pre-cancerous lesions. Best protection against cervical cancer: Vaccination alongside screening

Treatments - Surgery
▪ Radiotherapy
▪ Chemotherapy
▪ Rehabilitation
▪ Palliative care Vaccination schedule: 3 Doses; Vaccination Schedule: 0, 1, 6 , months; injected intramuscularly in the deltoid area (upper arm)
Who should get cervical cancer vaccine? Young girls and older women, 10 years old onwards, because all women are at risk. The disease is preventable. The vaccine is affordable. The fight is winnable.

What is flu = or influenza is a highly contagious viral infection that affects the respiratory tract.
Compared to common colds, flu can cause severe illnesses and can lead to serious complications in all age groups.

How serious is flu?
With other viral infections the symptoms usually are mild and most people can continue working or going to school while ill, but with flu, the symptoms are severe and prolonged and can cause the individual to miss days of work or school. The infection stresses the body.
Flu may cause high fever, cough, sore throat, a runny nose, headache, more malaise and severe body aches. Some people describe the flu as being like the worst cold of their life. Most poeple feel better after 1 or 2 weeks. But for some people, the flu leads to serious, even life-threatening diseases, such as pneumonia.
Because of its infectiousness, severity of symptoms, time lost from work or school, and the potential to lead to serious complications, and consequently business interruptions, it is important to prevent flu.

How can one catch the flu?
The influenza virus is typically spread from person when an infected person coughs or sneezes the virus into the air.
It is contagious for one or two days before symptoms develop that is why it is almost impossible to stop it from spreading.

The flu vaccine is 70 to 90% effective in preventing the flu in healthy people. Some people who get the vaccine will still get the flu, but they will usually get the flu, but they will usually get a milder case than people who were not vaccinated. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with proper diet and exercise could reduce the impact of flu.

Why need for a yearly vaccination?
Each year the influenza virus can change slightly, making the vaccine used in previous year ineffective.
A worldwide flu surveillance has been established by the World health Organization (WHO) to detect and select the most likely strains to circulate in the forthcoming flu season. These selected strains are used to develop the new vaccine formula.

Who get vaccinated?
In general, anyone who wants to reduce his or her chances of getting the flu can get vaccinated.
Anyone can catch the disease. Every year especially during the rainy and cold season, a lot of people would have flu.
However, it is highly recommended for people who are at high risk of having serious flu complications or people who live with or care for those at high risk for serious complications.

Yes. The following people should talk to their doctor before getting the flu shot People who have had an allergic reaction to a flu shot in the past
People with an allergy to eggs
Peolpe who have previously developed Guillain_Barre Syndrome ( a reversible reaction that causes partial or complete loss of movement of muscle, weakness or tingling sensation in the body) within 6 weeks of getting the flu shot.

Ang bato ay lumikha ng hormonena erythropoitein, ito ay sa pamamagitan ng pag ayos ng blood volume o dami ng dugo atasin(sodium) sa katawan. Nagagawa ito sa pamamagitan ng paglikha ng angiotensin, isa ring kemikal na sa bato.

Anu-ano ang mga sakit sa bato at kanilang palatandaan/sintomas.
Urinary Tract Infection – impeksyon o pamamaga ng daluyan ng ihi, ito ay kondisyon ng pagdami ng mga organismo o mikrobyo sa bato, ureter at sa pantog. (Upper Tract Infection/Pyelonephritis o impeksyon sa bato)

Rena Failure – ito ay pagkalason ng dugo sanhi ng malubhang pagkasira ng mag bato. Ito ay kondisyon na wala ng nganap na kakayahan ang dalawang bato na gawin ang kanilang tungkulin. Karaniwan ito ay nakikita sa End stage Renal Disease (ESRD) kung kailan ang may sakit ay na nangangailangan ng dialysis o kidney transplant operations
Sintomas – Pagkahilo, pagsakit ng ulo, pagsusuka, hindi makatulog, pagkawala ng malay tao, pagkonti ng ihi, pamamanas, hirap huminga, pag-itim at pangangati ng balat.
