If Singapore no longer want 12 years olds to take the BCG, TB cases probably have dropped.Originally posted by renorenal:...what do you think?
Since it probably has dropped, then I think don't need lor. -

But I don't think got a lot. Just that vaccination question and one other question.
I think he needs jokes. One very lame joke for you.
Knock!!! Knock!!!
Doctor: Who's there?
Patient: Dr Who?
Doctor: Dr WHO at Geneva. -
BCG is used because it is effective in reducing the likelihood and severity of TB in infants and young children. That is especially important in areas of the world where TB is highly prevalent, and the chances of an infant or young child becoming exposed to an infectious case are high. I think 12 years old is out of the age of "young child" and also since TB isn't highly prevelant in Singapore, your sis doesn't need it.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Continuing my vaccination questions.
Does my sister need to take the BCG shot? Given Singapore's healthcare system, do you think she need it? -
Today was a long and tiresome day even for me. Came home late. Renorenal is just a human (though we see him as the superdoc ) and has the right to rest.

CLINIC CLOSED
Notice in advance - from 27th November --> 14th December 2005, I will be away and will only drop by once in a while to check.
My part will be taken over by alfagal, oxford mushroom and thinkdifferent... -
Thanks TD, listen I want you to take over the clinic for me for the first two weeks in December, I will be super busy and may only log on for less than 10 minutes or so within my break... so the clinic will be like closed for most of the time, but if the patients to post in questions, I'd be grateful if you can answer them, but at your own time of course...Originally posted by thinkdifferent:Today was a long and tiresome day even for me.

Be careful...there has been a rise in TB cases in the UK because most people here did not have BCG, thinking they won't need it since tuberculosis is associated with overcrowding and poor hygiene in developing countries. Then came HIV.....now we have a whole population of people who are susceptible to it ...Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:If Singapore no longer want 12 years olds to take the BCG, TB cases probably have dropped.
Since it probably has dropped, then I think don't need lor. -
This is one question that has been bugging me yet I always forget to ask.
Red blood cells have no nucleus yet they are called cells. Why? -

Yes, thanks oxford... that was one issue I wanted to bring up, but I wasn't that sure about the condition of living of Singapore...Originally posted by oxford mushroom:Be careful...there has been a rise in TB cases in the UK because most people here did not have BCG, thinking they won't need it since tuberculosis is associated with overcrowding and poor hygiene in developing countries. Then came HIV.....now we have a whole population of people who are susceptible to it ...
HIV and TB has been a great partnership since HIV would weaken the T4 cells which were meant to counter the TB bug... hence making TB's life a lot easier in the human body, without much interruption from the pulmonary macrophages (a type of white cell)... -
They do have nucleus at an earlier life of their life cycle, and they are called erythoblast in the bone marrow. Their nucleus were extruded when they reach the blood vessels to allow more space for carriage of nutrients, gases and toxic products.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:This is one question that has been bugging me yet I always forget to ask.
Red blood cells have no nucleus yet they are called cells. Why?
Compared with other cells, these red blood cells are better known as red blood corpuscle (particles) and they are more flexible, soft and elastic making them have the ability to crawl, creep, navigate and negotiate any smallest tunnel possible. -
