Admission into SCHTO

Malaria is a serious infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasites and transmitted through the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes.

Malaria is caused by five main Plasmodium species:

1. P. falciparum — most severe, common in Africa
2. P. vivax — recurring infections, common in Asia & Latin America
3. P. ovale
4. P. malariae
5. P. knowlesi (zoonotic, from monkeys)

Symptoms

Symptoms usually appear 10–15 days after a mosquito bite:

1. Fever and chills
2. Headache
3. Sweating
4. Body aches
5. Fatigue
6. Nausea/vomiting
In severe cases: confusion, seizures, severe anemia, organ failure

How malaria spreads
1. Primarily through bites from infected female Anopheles mosquitoes

2. Less commonly: blood transfusion, shared needles, or mother to baby in pregnancy

Diagnosis

1. Blood tests (microscopy or rapid diagnostic tests)
2. PCR tests in some cases

Treatment
Depends on the Plasmodium species and severity:
1. Artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) — first-line for most cases
2. Chloroquine (only where parasites are still sensitive)
3. Primaquine for dormant liver stages (P. vivax and P. ovale)
4. Severe malaria often requires IV artesunate in a hospital.

Prevention

* Mosquito nets (especially insecticide-treated)
* Indoor residual spraying
* Antimalarial prophylaxis (e.g., atovaquone-proguanil, doxycycline) for travelers
* Eliminating mosquito breeding sites
* New vaccines: RTS,S (Mosquirix) and R21/Matrix-M

📘NURSING ANATOMY PHYSIOLOGY
LECTURE 7: CELL THEORY, CELL PROPERTIES AND CELL DIVISION

CONTENT

Cell theory explains the fundamental principles that guide the study of life. It states that all living organisms are composed of cells and that the cell is the basic unit of structure and function. It also states that all cells arise from pre existing cells. This theory is accepted internationally and forms the foundation of biological and medical sciences in Nigeria and across the world.
Simple explanation: This means that everything living—from tiny bacteria to humans—is made of cells, and every new cell comes from another cell.
Example: When you get a cut on your skin, new skin grows because old cells divide to make new ones.

CELL THEORY

Cell theory establishes that every living thing is built from one or more cells. It explains that the activities of organisms depend on the combined activities of their individual cells. Understanding this theory helps nursing students appreciate how normal body functions and diseases begin at the cellular level.
Simple explanation: This means your whole body works because millions of tiny cells are working together, and when something goes wrong in the cells, disease starts.
Example: Diabetes begins when the cells in the pancreas stop producing enough insulin.

PROPERTIES OF CELLS

Cells possess unique properties that enable life. These properties include the ability to carry out metabolism which involves chemical processes that provide energy. They possess the ability to grow and increase in size. They show irritability which is the ability to respond to changes in the environment. They have the capacity to reproduce by forming new cells. These properties allow the human body to adapt survive and maintain health in both local and global conditions.
Simple explanation: Cells can use food for energy, grow, react to what is happening around them, and make new cells.
Example:

Metabolism: Muscle cells use glucose for energy when you
