Basics of Malaria

Basics of Malaria

Background: Malaria is a very old disease in the world. Charaka, Susrata, Hipocratas, everybody has written about it. In some places it is known as Pali Jara. The word malaria has been derived from the Italian word ‘Mal’ which means Bad and “Aria” which means Air. So it was presumed that malaria occurs due to bad air. Similarly most of the people have wrong conception that due waste water, due to bath in waste/bad water, due to drink unclean/unsafe water it happens.

In 1600 some Missionaries from Spain visited Peru, there they found some people are using bark of a tree to get cure from the fever and this is the first known treatment of malaria. This tree is the CINCHONA. We are preparing Quinine (injection) from it. So the tribals of Peru are the first medicine men for malaria. This plant was planted in India in Nilagiri Hills in the year 1872. In the year 1880 one French Scientist discovered the malaria parasite. But all were not sure from which source this parasite is affecting. One UK scientist Patrick Manson told that it is probably from mosquito the men are getting. All over the world there was researches to know the where about of the parasite. But the credit went to India, where the British Military doctor Ronald Ross, placed at Secunderabad discovered the parasite in the mosquito’s stomach. Since that day it became pretty clear that the mosquito spreads malaria. But his message did not reach the common people till now, as we can control malaria, if we can control mosquito. In 1934 the mostly used chloroquine tablet was invented. Similarly during 2nd World War one German Soldier started the use of DDT to get relief from mosquito. And this was treated as the first preventive method of controlling mosquito.

Malaria was a very big problem in India. After Independence different programs were launched to control as well as to eradicate malaria. These programs are, National Malaria Control Program (NMCP), National Malaria Eradication Program (NMEP), Enhanced Malaria Control Program (EMCP), National Anti Malaria Program (NAMP) and in 2003 National Vector Borne Diseases Control Program (NVBCP). In 1953 there was 750 lakh malaria affected people in India but due to the implementation of NMCP & NMEP it reduced to 50000 only and the govt. thought that it can eradicate malaria. But later on it is learnt that it is impossible to eradicate malaria as each year the numbers of affected people are varying and increasing considerably.

a) What is Malaria: Malaria is one type of fever among different types of fevers, which occurs due to the bite of female anopheles Mosquito. Malaria can be divided into two groups such as Simple and Severe malaria. The symptoms of malaria are;

Simple Malaria: Cold?Hot?Sweating?Break?Cold? Hot?SweatingSome get pain & vomitFeeling weak, Anemia,Enlargement of Spleen.

Severe malaria / complicated malaria: This leads to the following diseases:

Cerebral malaria
Acute Renal Failure
Jaundice
Vomiting and Diarrhea
Dehydration
Circulatory collapse
Severe anemia
Hemoglobinuria – Black water fever
Hypoglycemia
Plumonary Oedema
Hyperparasitaemia
Hyper pyrexia
Disseminated Intravascular coagulation
Associated Bacterial Infections – LRI, UTS

Malaria is a fever caused by a parasite. The parasite is known as plasmodium. There are four types of plasmodium, which can create fever in human being. They are as follows.

1. P.v– Plasmodium Vivax
2. P.f – Plasmodium Facliparum
3. P.m – Plasmodium malaria
4. P.o – Plasmodium Ovale

The first two types are mainly found in India while the P.o is not found in India. In Rayagada and Koraput districts of Orissa there is 96% & 98% P.f cases, respectively. The P.f type causes death while death cannot be caused in P.v cases. The P.v causes the simple malaria only while the P.f can cause both simple and complicated malaria.

What to do when there is Malaria: It is better to go for blood test for malaria cases, if there is facility for blood test. It is told that there is 4 line / level for medicines. But for the field level staff it is wiser to go up to 2nd level, as they do not have essential qualification to go for next levels. In first line it is always better to go for chlorquine tablets. There is risk in injection particularly for children. The first doze must be 4 tablets. WHO prescribes 4+4+2 chlorquine doze (250mg) is ideal for adults.

Chlorquine dosage according to Age/WeightEach tab contains CQ phosphate – 250mg that is equivalent to – 150mg base.

Age group in years Probable weight NO OF TABLETSDay –1 10mg base /kg Day –2 10 mg base / kg Day – 3 5mg base / kg0-1 6 kg ½ ¼ ¼1-4 15 kg 1 1 ½5-8 30 kg 2 2 19-14 45 kg 3 3 11/215 above 60 kg 4 4 2The tablets should be taken after food and a 3 days course is idle. If chloroquine does not work then pyralafin can be given, which is the 2nd line for medicine. It consists of solfa and pyramithimin. Its prescribed dosages are:

Weight Tablets20kg 1 tab40 kg 2 tabs60 kg 3 tabs
If chlorquine does not work within three days then one should go for 2nd line. If a patient does not recovers in 2nd line, its better to refer him/her to the nearest health centre, which is the third line of medicine in malaria program.

Sunbaths may keep people young, safe

Vitamin D obtained from exposure to a healthy dose of sunshine may help people stay young and protect them against heart disease, a study by British scientists has found.

Researchers from King’s College London studied the telomeres of 2,160 women aged between 18 and 79. Telomeres are biological markers of ageing found in Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that contains genetic information.

As people get older, their telomeres get shorter and they become more susceptible to certain illnesses.

The scientists found that women with high levels of vitamin D had comparatively longer telomeres – a sign of being biologically younger and healthier, reported the online edition of the Daily Mail.

About 90 percent of the body’s supply of vitamin D can be obtained from sunshine. However, a small amount of the vitamin can also be obtained through food such as fish, eggs and breakfast cereals.

Leadership Exposed: Things You Thought You Knew About Leadership

Much has been written about leadership: rules, pointers, styles, and biographies of inspiring leaders throughout world history. But there are certain leadership ideas that we ourselves fail to recognize and realize in the course of reading books. Here is a short list of things you thought you knew about leadership.

1. Leaders come in different flavors.

There are different types of leaders and you will probably encounter more than one type in your lifetime. Formal leaders are those we elect into positions or offices such as the senators, congressmen, and presidents of the local clubs. Informal leaders or those we look up to by virtue of their wisdom and experience such as in the case of the elders of a tribe, or our grandparents; or by virtue of their expertise and contribution on a given field such as Albert Einstein in the field of Theoretical Physics and Leonardo da Vinci in the field of the Arts. Both formal and informal leaders practice a combination of leadership styles.
· Lewin’s three basic leadership styles – authoritative, participative, and delegative
· Likert’s four leadership styles – exploitive authoritative, benevolent authoritative, consultative, and participative
· Goleman’s six emotional leadership styles – visionary, coaching, affiliative, democratic, pacesetting, and commanding.

2. Leadership is a process of becoming.

Although certain people seem to be born with innate leadership qualities, without the right environment and exposure, they may fail to develop their full potential. So like learning how to ride a bicycle, you can also learn how to become a leader and hone your leadership abilities. Knowledge on leadership theories and skills may be formally gained by enrolling in leadership seminars, workshops, and conferences. Daily interactions with people provide the opportunity to observe and practice leadership theories. Together, formal and informal learning will help you gain leadership attitudes, gain leadership insights, and thus furthering the cycle of learning. You do not become a leader in one day and just stop. Life-long learning is important in becoming a good leader for each day brings new experiences that put your knowledge, skills, and attitude to a test.

3. Leadership starts with you.

The best way to develop leadership qualities is to apply it to your own life. As an adage goes “action speaks louder than words.” Leaders are always in the limelight. Keep in mind that your credibility as a leader depends much on your actions: your interaction with your family, friends, and co-workers; your way of managing your personal and organizational responsibilities; and even the way you talk with the newspaper vendor across the street. Repeated actions become habits. Habits in turn form a person’s character. Steven Covey’s book entitled 7 Habits of Highly Effective People provides good insights on how you can achieve personal leadership.

4. Leadership is shared.

Leadership is not the sole responsibility of one person, but rather a shared responsibility among members of an emerging team. A leader belongs to a group. Each member has responsibilities to fulfill. Formal leadership positions are merely added responsibilities aside from their responsibilities as members of the team. Effective leadership requires members to do their share of work. Starting as a mere group of individuals, members and leaders work towards the formation of an effective team. In this light, social interaction plays a major role in leadership. To learn how to work together requires a great deal of trust between and among leaders and members of an emerging team. Trust is built upon actions and not merely on words. When mutual respect exists, trust is fostered and confidence is built.

5. Leadership styles depend on the situation.

How come dictatorship works for Singapore but not in the United States of America? Aside from culture, beliefs, value system, and form of government, the current situation of a nation also affects the leadership styles used by its formal leaders. There is no rule that only one style can be used. Most of the time, leaders employ a combination of leadership styles depending on the situation. In emergency situations such as periods of war and calamity, decision-making is a matter of life and death. Thus, a nation’s leader cannot afford to consult with all departments to arrive at crucial decisions. The case is of course different in times of peace and order—different sectors and other branches of government can freely interact and participate in governance. Another case in point is in leading organizations. When the staffs are highly motivated and competent, a combination of high delegative and moderate participative styles of leadership is most appropriate. But if the staffs have low competence and low commitment, a combination of high coaching, high supporting, and high directing behavior from organizational leaders is required.

Now that you are reminded of these things, keep in mind that there are always ideas that we think we already know; concepts we take for granted, but are actually the most useful insights on leadership.

Why is it Important to Improve Your Sefl?

Sometimes, when all our doubts, fears and insecurities wrap ourselves up, we always come up with the idea of “I wish I was somebody else.” More often than not, we think and believe that someone or rather, most people are better than us.- when in reality, the fact is, most people are more scared than us.

You spot a totally eye-catching girl sitting by herself at a party, casually sipping on a glass of Asti Spumanti. You think to yourself, “she looks so perfectly calm and confident.” But if you could read thru her transparent mind, you would see a bunch of clouds of thoughts and you might just be amazed that she’s thinking “are people talking about why I am seated here alone?… Why don’t guys find me attractive? …I don’t like my ankles, they look too skinny… I wish I was as intelligent as my best friend.”

We look at a young business entrepreneur and say “Wooh… what else could he ask for?” He stares at himself at the mirror and murmur to himself, “I hate my big eyes… I wonder why my friends won’t talk to me… I hope mom and dad would still work things out.”

Isn’t it funny? We look at other people, envy them for looking so outrageously perfect and wish we could trade places with them, while they look at us and thinks of the same thing. We are insecure of other people who themselves are insecure of us. We suffer from low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence and lose hope in self improvement because we are enveloped in quiet desperation.

Sometimes, you notice that you have an irritating habit like biting off your finger nails, having a foul mouth, and you – of all people, is the last to know.

I have a friend who never gets tired of talking. And in most conversations, she is the only one who seems to be interested in the things she has to say. So all of our other friends tend to avoid the circles whenever she’s around, and she doesn’t notices how badly she became socially handicapped – gradually affecting the people in her environment.

One key to self improvement is to LISTEN and TALK to a trusted friend. Find someone who you find comfort in opening up with even the most gentle topics you want to discuss. Ask questions like “do you think I am ill-mannered?”, “Do I always sound so argumentative?”, “Do I talk too loud?”, “Does my breath smell?”, “Do I ever bore you when were together?”. In this way, the other person will obviously know that you are interested in the process of self improvement. Lend her your ears for comments and criticisms and don’t give her answers like “Don’t exaggerate! That’s just the way I am!” Open up your mind and heart as well. And in return, you may want to help your friend with constructive criticism that will also help her improve her self.

One of Whitney Houston’s songs says “Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all.” True enough. In order to love others, you must love yourself too. Remember, you cannot give what you do not have.

Before telling other people some ways on how to improve themselves, let them see that you yourself is a representation and a product of self improvement. Self improvement makes us better people, we then inspire other people, and then the rest of the world will follow.

Stop thinking of yourselves as second-rate beings. Forget the repetitive thought of “If only I was richer… if only I was thinner” and so on. Accepting your true self is the first step to self improvement. We need to stop comparing ourselves to others only to find out at the end that we’ve got 10 more reasons to envy them.

We all have our insecurities. Nobody is perfect. We always wish we had better things, better features, better body parts, etc. But life need not to be perfect for people to be happy about themselves.Self improvement and loving yourself is not a matter of shouting to the whole world that you are perfect and you are the best. It’s the virtue of acceptance and contentment. When we begin to improve ourselves, we then begin to feel contented and happy.

5 Minutes Daily Program to Stress Management

We all have this favorite expression when it comes to being stressed out, and I wouldn’t bother naming all of them since it may also vary in different languages. But when it comes down to it, I think that it is how we work or even relax, for that matter that triggers stress. Ever been stressed even when you’re well relaxed and bored? I know I have.

Since Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. is unavoidable in life, it is important to find ways to decrease and prevent stressful incidents and decrease negative reactions to stress. Here are some of the things that can be done by just remembering it, since life is basically a routine to follow like brushing your teeth or eating breakfast. You can do a few of them in a longer span of time, but as they say– every minute counts.

Managing time

Time management skills can allow you more time with your family and friends and possibly increase your performance and productivity. This will help reduce your stress.

To improve your time management:
· Save time by focusing and concentrating, delegating, and scheduling time for yourself.
· Keep a record of how you spend your time, including work, family, and leisure time.
· Prioritize your time by rating tasks by importance and urgency. Redirect your time to those activities that are important and meaningful to you.
· Manage your commitments by not over- or undercommitting. Don’t commit to what is not important to you.
· Deal with procrastination by using a day planner, breaking large projects into smaller ones, and setting short-term deadlines.
· Examine your beliefs to reduce conflict between what you believe and what your life is like.

Build healthy coping strategies
It is important that you identify your coping strategies. One way to do this is by recording the stressful event, your reaction, and how you cope in a stress journal. With this information, you can work to change unhealthy coping strategies into healthy ones-those that help you focus on the positive and what you can change or control in your life.

Lifestyle
Some behaviors and lifestyle choices affect your stress level. They may not cause stress directly, but they can interfere with the ways your body seeks relief from stress. Try to:
· Balance personal, work, and family needs and obligations.
· Have a sense of purpose in life.
· Get enough sleep, since your body recovers from the stresses of the day while you are sleeping.
· Eat a balanced diet for a nutritional defense against stress.
· Get moderate exercise throughout the week.
· Limit your consumption of alcohol.
· Don’t smoke.

Social support
Social support is a major factor in how we experience stress. Social support is the positive support you receive from family, friends, and the community. It is the knowledge that you are cared for, loved, esteemed, and valued. More and more research indicates a strong relationship between social support and better mental and physical health.

Changing thinking
When an event triggers negative thoughts, you may experience fear, insecurity, anxiety, depression, rage, guilt, and a sense of worthlessness or powerlessness. These emotions trigger the body’s stress, just as an actual threat does. Dealing with your negative thoughts and how you see things can help reduce stress.
· Thought-stopping helps you stop a negative thought to help eliminate stress.
· Disproving irrational thoughts helps you to avoid exaggerating the negative thought, anticipating the worst, and interpreting an event incorrectly.
· Problem solving helps you identify all aspects of a stressful event and find ways to deal with it.
· Changing your communication style helps you communicate in a way that makes your views known without making others feel put down, hostile, or intimidated. This reduces the stress that comes from poor communication. Use the assertiveness ladder to improve your communication style.

Even writers like me can get stressed even though we’re just using our hands to do the talking, but having to sit for 7 or 8 hours is already stressful enough and have our own way to relieve stress. Whether you’re the mail guy, the CEO, or probably the average working parent, stress is one unwanted visitor you would love to boot out of your homes, especially your life.
