CORONAVIRUS EPIDEMIC IN CHINA 06 February 2020
















CORONAVIRUS EPIDEMIC IN CHINA 06 February 2020

An epidemic cannot be controlled without identifying the source of the virus, the index case, the contributing factors because the mass media are only singing of the number of cases and deaths.
During road construction in Africa it was observed that the Chinese ate all sorts of animals and most of the time these animals were eaten raw. They ate reptiles- lizards and snakes; insects; rats; which were not eaten by the local populations.

Their environmental sanitation must be scrutinized. The Chinese have taught some population of some African countries to sleep in the same room with chickens and pigs; and to use fresh excreta as manure thus causing epidemics of cholera.
Poultries are homes to chickens and humans; and piggeries are homes to pigs and humans in China.
Standard precautions must be emphasized in the life styles of all Chinese.

Despite the economic power of China the environmental sanitation of Chinese is very bad. It was at first the SARS, then the swine flu and now the coronavirus epidemic; what next? The lifestyles of the Chinese have to change insisting on the standard precautions as applied to environmental sanitation. 
The thousands of cases that have been declared in China may just be the tip of the iceberg. Read my website for environmental sanitation www.mfonfudaniel.blogspot.com
 
Corona virus is an animal virus that lives symbiotically with animals but because of the inappropriate eating habits of the Chinese the virus came in contact with human beings, mutated and became very virulent and is spread by air. 

Corona virus is very dangerous because it is spread by air, Ebola is spread by contact. I had proposed in my email message sent to the world that the world should come to a standstill for 3 months in order to stop coronavirus epidemic but it was ignored. 

Economic might is not able to kill the coronavirus. Military might is not able to kill the coronavirus
The world is made humanity not money! 

Only the love for humanity will help us! Only God through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit will cure the corona virus! Let us believe in Jesus! God is telling world leaders through the coronavirus epidemic to take care of humanity; the world is not made of money! Amen!

Nobody should claim victory over coronavirus epidemic only Jesus will give us the victory over the coronavirus epidemic! Only Jesus through our efforts to stop humanity from dying will cure the coronavirus epidemic.

REFLECTION ON ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE 25 02 2019



REFLECTION ON ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE 25 02 2019

1.      INTRODUCTION: This is an essential reflection based on critical thinking using some available literature on Alzheimer’s disease. It is based on common sense inspired by Jesus Christ. Most European and American radios and TV sing daily about Alzheimer’s disease and conclude that most of those who will suffer from the disease will be from the African continent. In public health the causes, the nature, the characteristics, the contributing factors and the prevention of a disease are studied in places where the disease is causing the highest morbidity and mortality.

2.      GOAL: Propose a possible contributing factor to Alzheimer’s disease

3.      SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
a)      Describe the Alzheimer’s disease
b)      Describe the epidemiology of Alzheimer’s disease
c)      Describe the major cooking oils used in various diets
(Soya bean oil, olive oil, red palm oil, coconut oil and cholesterol)
d)     Study the good health effects of these oils
e)      Study the bad health effects of these oils
f)       Study the epidemiology of Alzheimer’s disease and of the oils in the world
g)      Discuss the natural distribution of edible oils in  the world  by the All Mighty God
h)      Discuss the geographical epidemiological distribution of Alzheimer’s disease and the consumption, and the production of these oils   
i)        State a hypothesis of relationship between  Alzheimer’s disease and the edible oils studied

HANDING OVER OF MATERIAL FOR THE CONTROL OF CHOLERA AT MOBA PORT

By Dr Mfonfu, Medical Coordinator, UNHCR Lubumbashi.
29 04 2019
I am publishing this report eight years after this activity was carried out because the activity and its reporting was so good and motivating to be hidden in the drawer.
During this exercise of implementing the UNHCR approach to control cholera epidemic it was observed that the most important factors contributing to episodes of cholera were
-         Non construction and non-use of  pit latrines
-         Collection and use fresh excreta as manure in the farms
-         The popular erroneous believe that the cholera comes from the lake
Moba port is a town situated at the shores of Lake Tanganyika. Most of its quarters have sandy soils thus it is difficult to dig pit latrines.
I propose a way out. Let us develop a marshal plan for construction of pit latrines at Moba Port and other villages along the lake following the description below.
I am sending this report fromBamenda not from Moba or Kalemie; this shows my commitment to the health of humanity.

CASE STUDY REPORTS AND DEFENCES APRIL 2018 IN CAPITOL



















CASE STUDY REPORTS AND DEFENCES APRIL 2018 IN CAPITOL


Dr MFONFU Daniel                                 
      The case study report is submitted by students in CAPITOL in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of higher national diploma (HND) in nursing after schooling for three years. The format for writing of the case study report is based on the format adopted at the Regional Workshop on clinical internships (placements or practicum) at Bamenda on 15 November 2016. The case report is written after the follow up of a case in a hospital, especially the Regional hospital Bamenda during an internship of one month. Emphasis is placed on the case rather than on the internship.

The generic general objective (goal) for    the case study is  Successfully manage the case as a member of the medical and nursing team; and to submit the report of this case study in partial fulfilment to obtain the HND in nursing.       (Or)
Restore the health of the case as a member of the medical and nursing team; and to submit the report of this case study in partial fulfilment to obtain the HND in nursing.

         In CAPITOL Higher Institute of Health Sciences and Beauty Therapies each report is presented in a hard copy and defended using power point. Case report writing is very closely supervised by members of staff. Students constitute resources to carry out clinical and community health research. It is customary for us to select some pertinent case study reports and their defences and publish them at the website www.mfonfudaniel.blogspot.com in order to show to the world what we do in CAPITOL, to motivate the hospital authorities to appreciate the good work they are doing and to improve the weaknesses identified and also to promote our students.

We have selected the following case study reports and their defences in power point of some of our students to publish at the website.
i)                Fournier gangrene in a 33 year old man because it is written in literature that Fournier’s gangrene is a rare disease and potentially fatal (M. N.Mallikarjuna et al., 2012) but with the HIV/AIDS pandemic the disease might not be as rare again and that with good management it responds  very favourably to treatment;  that is why I studied this case in order to sensitize health providers about the existence of this disease and its management
ii)              Preeclampsia because literature on preeclampsia says pre-eclampsia occurs at about 20 weeks of pregnancy but in this case of preeclampsia started when the pregnancy was at term. This preeclampsia at term motivated me to study it.
iii)           Malaria in a child because of the poor management of the first episode of malaria in this child I was motivated by the Poor management of the first episode of malaria in this child
iv)           Tuberculosis in an HIV positive because the case was a roaming patient moving from hospital to hospital without being diagnosed of tuberculosis in HIV, from specialised hospitals in Yaoundé to a District Hospital in Mbengwi where he was diagnosed with tuberculosis.
v)              Hemoperitoneum because this boy went into a conflict situation and he was mistakenly stabbed.
vi)           Postpartum hemorrhage because it led to total hysterectomy so I wanted to know the causes and the management
vii)         Bedsores because the patient developed the bed sores while in the hospital in the reanimation ward. This report will help to sensitize the health team on the importance of preventing bed sores in bed ridden patients.
viii)      Ectopic pregnancy because the ectopic pregnancy did not rupture because of early diagnosis and prompt action by the health team.
