Human Rabies

Here is a short PowerPoint presentation about rabies--a deadly viral disease usually transmitted from the virus-laden saliva of rabid animals. The most common animal reservoir are the dogs. Other animals include cats, monkeys, foxes, bats and mongoose. Chickens and snakes do not transmit the disease. 


If a person were bitten by an animal where rabies is known to be prevalent, immediate washing of the wound is necessary. Medical evaluation should be done for further treatment and vaccination. Human Rabies

Butas sa puso (Septal Defect)

Lung cancer for never smokers

Science is very dynamic. People learn more and more each day. In the medical school, I was taught that the majority of smokers develop lung cancer. As a student, I paid little attention to non-smokers. Non-smokers also could develop the disease. The clip below tells us that people who never smoke could develop lung cancer because of a bad gene.

Check the facts first before you share

Nowadays, information can spread at the speed of thought. But the information should be verified first before one could share. Wrong information may lead to devastating effects and cause some people's lives and properties. It is one's responsibility to share reliable information in the entire blogosphere.


The video (2:14) below advices us to check the information first before sharing it with others. On the other hand, before we follow somebody else's advice, it is crucial to check the reliability of the source of information.

Is there hope for family life with PCOS?

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common female endocrine disorders affecting approximately 5-10% of women of reproductive age (12-45 years old) and was once thought erroneously to be one of the leading causes of infertility.


The principal features are obesity, anovulation (resulting in irregular menstruation), acne, and excessive amounts or effects of androgenic (masculinizing) hormones. The symptoms and severity of the syndrome vary greatly among women. While the causes are unknown, insulin resistance, diabetes, and obesity are all strongly correlated with PCOS.

LAPAROSCOPIC EXPLORATION OF THE NORMAL FEMALE PELVIS
In this short video clip (1:53), the normal anatomy of the female reproductive organs are explored using laparoscopy--a highly-specialized procedure that creates small holes in the abdomen. This is in great contrast with the traditional laparotomy procedure that incises that abdominal wall. You will see normal female organs such as the non-pregnant uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries and other structures.
