Neonatal Jaundice Awareness Month

Newborn jaundice is the most common condition requiring medical attention in newborn infants. About 80 per cent of Pre-term and 50 per cent of term infants develop jaundice in the first week of life.

Newborn jaundice occurs when the colour of the skin and eyes of the newborn baby begins to look yellow in the first 28days of life.

The Paediatric Society of Ghana is creating an Awareness in the Month of May to save babies with Jaundice, therefore terming “May is Yellow Month’’ the month of the Awareness of Newborn Jaundice.

The condition is also caused by prematurity, infections and, blood group differences between mother and baby. Camphor use in babies with the condition of the blood known as G6PD deficiency and poor feeding.

There are some things one needs to look out for in their babies after delivery
1. Check for abnormal yellow colouring of the baby’s eyes by exposing baby to bright light at least twice daily.
2. Check if the baby’s stool colour is pale with little or no colour.
3. Poor feeding, abnormal cry, high body temperature and reduced physical activity

If detected early, newborn Jaundice can be treated. Take the baby to the hospital if you see the yellowish discolouration on your baby’s skin and eyes. Newborn Jaundice will result in difficulty in hearing loss, visual impairment, problems with walking and movement, learning, feeding and can also result in death, if not treated early.

It is important pregnant women register early for antenatal care and avoid contact with the faeces of cats and dogs. Families should avoid storing babies clothing with camphor and babies should be born in a certified health facility.

The misconception of expressing milk into the baby’s eyes, exposing the baby to sunlight, giving glucose drinks to your baby to treat jaundice is dangerous and may not work.

Remember, ”Early detection and early treatment will save your baby’s life -Stand up and let’s fight.’’

Archbishop AgyinAsare describes Nogokpo as the Demonic headquarters of the Volta Region.

The Perez Chapel founder described the Nogokpo township as the “demonic headquarters” of the Volta Region following a near-tragic incident

The Nogokpo shrine in the Ketu South municipality of the Volta Region has advised the founder of Perez Chapel International, Archbishop Charles Agyinasare, to desist from making any derogatory remarks about the deity.

Delivering a sermon in church to recall an experience after a crusade in Aflao recently, Agyinasare described Nogokpo as the “demonic headquarters” of the region after a near-tragic incident in the town.

“During this crusade in Aflao, we slept at Agbozume and you had to go through Nogokpo, and it’s the demonic headquarters in the Volta Region, we only have not said it,” Agyinasare said.

“But the second night, I made Bishop Yaw Adu talk about witchcraft, and we disgraced the witches and wizard, when we were driving from Aflao to Agbozume, immediately we got to Nogokpo, Bishop Adu’s tyre came out of his four wheel drive (car),” Agyinasare said

Reacting to the claim, the shrine alleged that some pastors of Perez Chapel International draw their powers for “church business” from the town.

“Dear Archbishop Charles Agyinasare our religion does not accept lies, fake prophecies, defrauding people under false pretense, extorting monies from people in the name of taking them to “heaven” which does not exist, taking taxpayers and innocent citizens money to build worthy homes, burry things or make sacrifices to get more members, we do not lose our focus to be preaching other religions rather than focusing on our ethics.

“We will rather advice you to focus on making your members understand your religion rather than attacking others. He who beats the war drum must be ready to dance accordingly. The same demonic headquarters are the places your pastors come to more members and powers to do your “church businesses”.”

“If you don’t have a topic to preach about then we will advice you close your church and come for proper education on our religion first. The last time we check, there’s freedom of religion and worship. For us, we will never say ill things about someone’s religion and see ourselves as holy. Your bible even says DO NOT JUDGE.,” it posted on Facebook on Thursday 25 May 2023.

Nymphomania

The excessive and stronger sexual desire of a female or a woman. A nymphomaniac is a female who has strong sexual feelings abnormally, a mental disorder marked by compulsive sexual behavior. Compulsions are unwanted actions or rituals, that a person engages in repeatedly without being pleasure from them or being able to control them. Nymphomania can happen to any adult, though it is thought that it may be more common in women and homosexual men. The underlying cause of nymphomania is not known. Nymphomania is a mental and emotional condition, and, like such conditions, are complicated. Like other mental illnesses nymphomania is a rest of environment, hereby, and life even. It may also be linked to a chemical imbalance in the brain.

Symptoms Of Nymphomania You may experience nymphomania symptoms daily or just once in a while. At times any of these nymphomania symptoms can be severe:

Difficulty in concentrating
Feelings of shame or inadequacy
Guilt
Repeated, uncontrollable behaviors (compulsion)
Repeated, unwanted thoughts (obsession

Causes Of Nymphomania

However, research has shed some light on factors that may contribute to hypersexual behavior, including:

Stressful life events
Trauma, including sexual abuse
Imbalance in brain chemicals, called neurotransmitters
Environmental triggers
Neurological conditions and medications used to treat them, such as Parkinson’s disease

Some research implicates traits such as poor judgment, impulsivity, and preoccupation with or engagement in excessive sexual fantasies, urges, or behaviors.

How is nymphomania treated?

There is no cure for nymphomania. Like many other mental illnesses, nymphomania may be treated with medication, psychotherapy, or a combination of the two. With treatment, it is possible to manage compulsive sexual behavior.

Treatments for nymphomania

In addition to following the treatment plan developed by your health care providers, you may be able to help self-manage your nymphomania by:

Eating a balanced and healthy diet
Engaging in social activities and other activities that you find enjoyable
Getting regular exercise and sleep
Participating in a support group
Seeking support from family and friends

Nymphomania is a condition that is often misunderstood and stigmatized. Seeking treatment takes courage and strength, and it is important to surround oneself with supportive friends and family who can provide encouragement and understanding. Avoiding triggers, practising mindfulness, developing healthy coping strategies, and building a support network are some self-help strategies that may help manage Nymphomania. Nymphomaniacs are not outcast, bad people , we need to help them out of that situation….

World Hypertension Day

The International Hypertension League, which serves as the umbrella body for 85 national hypertension societies and leagues, has proclaimed and established the day as World Hypertension Day. The purpose of the day is to raise awareness about high blood pressure.

Every year on May 17th, World Hypertension Day is commemorated to increase awareness and encourage hypertension prevention, detection and management (deferred to October 17, 2020, due to COVID-19 pandemic).The primary risk factor for developing cardiovascular disease is high blood pressure. Hypertension, or high blood pressure affects more than a billion people worldwide and is a leafing cause of cardiovascular diseases and that mortality.

Two-thirds of instances of hypertension are found in low- and middle-income nations, and this is partly because risk factors have risen in those populations over the past few decades. However, almost half of those who have hypertension are unaware of it, which puts them at risk of available medical complications and death.

The Global Hearts Initiative was started in 2016 by the WHO and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in order to reach the global goal of reducing the prevalence of hypertension by 25% by 2025.

The Initiative aims to enhance heart health globally through its five technological packages, HEARTS (manage cardiovascular illnesses), EMPOWER (control tobacco), Active (promote physical activity), SHAKE (lower salt consumption), and REPLACE (remove trans fat). The HEARTS technical package itself offers recommendations for identifying and managing persons with hypertension in primary care mare successfully.

In 2023, the theme is Measure Your Blood Pressure Accurately, Control It, Live Longer, focusing on combatting low awareness rates worldwide, especially in low to middle income areas, and accurate blood pressure measurement methods. Some Resources include a free online course on accurate automated blood pressure measurement offered by PAHO, and guidelines for checking accuracy of BP monitors in 16 languages.

This important worldwide activity was created by the WHL and first held on May 14, 2005, with the theme: Know Your Numbers! WHD was a resounding success with 24 countries participating, and since then World Hypertension Day has been an ever expanding yearly event. It’s purpose is to communicate to the lay public the importance of hypertension and its serious medical complications, and to provide information on prevention, detection and treatment. To do this requires cooperation of health care professionals, media, volunteer organizations and government in each country.

First Girls SHS in Hohoe Constituency Commissioned by The MP

The Hohoe Member of Parliament (MP) and Minister of Railway Development, Mr. John-Peter Amewu,recently dedicated and presented the Ghana Education Service with a newly constructed Girls Senior High School (SHS).

Saint Esther Girls Senior High School, with the slogan “Empowerment, Service, and Integrity,” is a school situated in Wli.

A second-cycle institution had long been a desire of the people of Wli, according to Mr.Amewu, who added that it had now come true.

He claimed that the school will provide young girls with the chance to succeed and that it was fortunate that it was designed within the parameters of the free SHS program.

Mr. Amewu offered to give the school the support it needs to compete with the biggest girls’ schools in the country and charged the Wli community to work with school officials to ensure smooth operations.

He urged the students to put forth their best efforts and not belittle their lowly origins. He also urged the faculty, both teaching and non-teaching, to do so.

John Peter Amewu commissions girls' school in Hohoe

The school building, which is a modern and well-equipped facility for girls, was constructed with the aim of providing quality education for the girls of Wli and its surrounding areas.

The school project funded by the Hohoe MP, John Peter Amewu, was born out of a desire of the people of Wli, a suburb of Hohoe to have a senior high school in the community especially for the female children in the community.

The Santa Esther Girls’ Senior High School will serve adjoining communities of Wli and help reduce congestion in pre-existing schools in the Hohoe area.

The commissioning ceremony, which was held on Friday, May 5, 2023, was attended by a large number of dignitaries, including the Municipal Chief Executive, representatives from the Ministry of Education, traditional leaders, and members of the community.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Amewu stated that the construction of the new school building was part of his commitment to improving education in the Hohoe Municipality.

He emphasized that education was the key to unlocking the potential of the youth and promoting development in the area.

The First Headmistress of the Santa Esther Girls’ Senior High School, Madam Janet Valerie Data Agbotse, said the school will grow into a prominent school which will empower girls and train them to become responsible women.

The Chief of the area, Togbega Loh I, commended the MP for his efforts in improving quality education in the Hohoe Municipality and has urged him to help complete the dormitories and staff cottages currently under construction early enough to help house the girls and teachers on campus
