What diphtheria is and why we need to pay attention?

Knowledgebase & Articles /

Introduction Diphtheria is a highly contagious infection caused by strains of bacteria called Corynebacterium diphtheriae, which produces a toxin that destroys healthy tissue within the upper airways causing a membrane to grow across the windpipe. It can also affect the skin causing blisters and ulcers. The disease spreads easily and happens quickly, and can affect all age groups, however unimmunized children, are particularly at risk. Moreover, adults over 60 years old, living in crowded or unclean conditions, and malnourishment are at risk for contracting the disease. In severe cases, the disease can lead to death due to damage to organs. Situation at a glance Although globally the incidence of diphtheria has reduced dramatically in the past five decades, recently, the Nigerian government confirmed the outbreak of diphtheria in 21 of the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory. According to the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC), so far 1439 suspected cases of diphtheria have been reported, of which 557 (39%) were confirmed. Among the confirmed cases, 73 deaths (case fatality ratio of 13%) have been recorded due to the outbreak. Rural areas of Borno state were reported to be the most affected parts of the country in 2011. Modes of Transmission Diphtheria bacteria can be spread from person to person, usually through inhalation of airborne droplets, like from coughing or sneezing, or by direct contact with infected patients by mucous secretions or skin ulcerations. Sign and symptoms Symptoms of diphtheria depend on the body part that is affected. However, the upper airways and the skin are commonly affected. When the bacteria infect the airways, it can cause sore throat, mild fever, swollen glands in the neck (bull neck), barking cough, wheezing, difficulty in breathing, tachycardia (racing heart), and weakness. The bacteria produce a toxin that destroys the healthy tissues lining airways and within two to three days, the dead tissue forms a thick, grey coating that can build up in the throat or nose, which can cover tissues in the nose, tonsils, voice box, and throat, resulting in breathing and swallowing difficulty. If the toxin gets into the bloodstream, it can cause heart, kidney, and nerve damage. When the bacteria infect the skin, it can cause open sores or ulcers. However, diphtheria skin infections rarely result in severe disease. Diagnosis Diagnosis of diphtheria is made based on presenting signs and symptoms as described above, and a laboratory test. A swab sample is taken from the throat or a sore and analyzed for traces of Corynebacterium diphtheriae in the laboratory. Treatment The treatment for diphtheria should begin immediately, sometimes even before the laboratory test results are confirmed. Diphtheria antitoxin is typically prescribed to stop damage to the organs. In addition, antibiotics, commonly penicillin or erythromycin, are prescribed to fight infection. Individuals with diphtheria are kept in isolation to prevent others from becoming infected. However, an infected person is no longer contagious around 48 hours after taking antibiotics. Surgery may be done to remove the grey membrane in the throat, if necessary. Diphtheria recovery necessitates adequate bed rest and if the heart is impacted, it is very essential to avoid any physical activity. In the short term, patients may need to supplement their nutrition with liquids and soft foods due to pain and difficulty swallowing. When treatment is completed, a test is repeated to ensure that the bacteria have been eliminated. Once the bacteria are gone, a vaccine is administered to prevent future infections . Complications Diphtheria can result in several long-term complications such as blockage of airways, myocarditis (damage to the heart muscle), polyneuropathy (nerve damage), lethargy (sluggishness), paralysis (being unable to move), and loss of lung function. Prevention Prevention of diphtheria usually involves the administration of several vaccines, which are designed to prevent not only diphtheria but also to protect against multiple infections at once, such as pertussis (whooping cough) and tetanus.

Time Management in the Life of Academics

Knowledgebase & Articles /

Time management is essential in the life of an academic. Because of the demanding nature of their work and the constant juggling of multiple duties, good time management becomes critical to ensuring productivity, balance, and personal well-being. According to Chansaengsee (2017), “We can prevent disappointment in life by practising time management. This letdown might come in the form of monetary, professional, social, or other types of disappointment. If we make time for proper planning, we can avoid all of these things at once. Everything in our existence is equally powerless.” Academics can maximize their performance while maintaining a healthy work-life balance by planning their time efficiently. Setting priorities is an important component of academic time management. They can build a clear roadmap for their work by identifying and categorizing tasks based on urgency and priority. Setting realistic goals and breaking them down into achievable chunks is part of this process. Academics can tackle the most important assignments with concentration and prevent unneeded stress by focusing on them first. Creating a set timetable also helps with time management. Setting out specified time slots for activities such as research, teaching, administrative chores, and personal commitments promotes order and discipline. Academics must set out time for focused work while minimizing distractions and disruptions. They can improve their productivity and avoid procrastination by sticking to a schedule. According to Chaudhari (2022), “We have to perform various activities in life. Some of them might be very important some of them might be less important. To perform all these activities time period is limited. If one performs any activity after the stipulated time it will be of no use. Hence for all of us, the work at the proper time is very crucial. Many times people often found complaining that they do not have time”.   Effective time management necessitates the ability to delegate and, when necessary, say no. Academics frequently face several pressures, such as collaborations, committee work, and social engagements. While it is critical to participate in these activities, it is also critical to evaluate their overall productivity. Academics can protect their time for crucial work and maintain a good work-life balance by learning to delegate responsibilities and politely decline non-essential commitments. Finally, self-care should not be forgotten when it comes to time management. Academics must emphasize their own well-being by making time for relaxation, exercise, and hobbies. This gives them the energy and focus they need to perform at their best. Academics can avoid burnout and maintain productivity in the long run by including self-care in their agenda and establishing a harmonic integration of work and personal life by setting priorities, making a disciplined timetable, delegating responsibilities, and emphasizing self-care.
