Swiss Pharmaceutical Company NOVARTIS AG said yesterday it has successfully produced a first batch of Swine Flu Vaccine weeks ahead of expectation. The vaccine was made in cells, rather than grown in eggs, as is usually the case with vaccines, the company said The announcement comes a day after the World Health Organization (WHO) declared swine flu a PANDEMIC. Swine flu also known as Influenza A (H1N1) is now formally a pandemic (June 11, 2009), meaning the spread considered unstoppable. The move indicates that a global outbreak is underway. Since it was first detected in April in Mexico and the United States, swine flu has reached 74 countries, infecting 29,000 people. WHO Chief Dr. Margaret Chan made the long awaited declaration after the UN agency held an emergency meeting with flu experts and said she was moving to phase 6 – the agency’s highest alert level – which means a pandemic is underway.

C. Diabetics Need Not Lose A Leg To Get Healed

(Philippine Star – Health and Medicine Section : April 27, 2009)

Diabetics need not lose a leg and pay high price to get their wounds healed. This is according to Dr. Valentin Yabes in a recent 152nd General Assembly of the Foundation for Upgrading the Standard of Education (FUSE) held at Orient Tower Condominium at Roxas Blvd., Manila Dr. Yabes said the treatment of non-healing wounds of diabetics is a big problem in the country because there are 3.36 million Filipinos who have diabetes. He said the amputation is not only costly but unnecessary because diabetics with wounds can be treated with laser bio-resonance treatment. This is a painless, non-surgical, cost effective medical treatment which produces very attractive results. LASER, the acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation is now used medically for precision surgery.

Comprehensive Exam at Last

Last Sunday, August 10, 2008 I took my comprehensive exam at UP for my graduate studies. For me, it was the exam of my life. It started 8:15 and I finished at 1:30.

The exam was fine but I’m not saying it’s easy. Im not that confident with my answers until the results will be released. Im praying that I will pass the exam. Of course, I hope we will all pass the exam.

Fortunately, some questions were similar to what we have reviewed in our Study group. At least, I already have the strategy on how to answer the question.

The exam results will be out in a month and Im hoping to get a favorable result.

Will let you know if I pass. hehehe

From Private to Government to Private (p2G2p)

I have been working for 8 years already. I been through with private corporations have good and bad experiences. Then, I went to government which was relatively the same. Though the pressure in work was quite light compared to working in private companies.

Right now, im back in private sector. Im quite excited with my current job. Everyday, I learn new things and get to focus in my tasks since there are a lot of projects Im handling. But there are a lot of changes. Of course, the time I consume in work has increased compared to when I was still working in the government.

Im also pressured with the expectations of my superiors. In the government, you are already a permanent employee if it’s a plantilla item. Meaning, you dont have to go through the probationary period. In private sector it takes 6 months to be a regular employee depending on your performance. There is also a security of tenure in the government.

We’ll honestly, I miss the government employee routine. But for now, regrets are set aside. Im aiming to achieve something for myself and for my family. I also have career plans which is more realistic in the private sector.

For now, I am starting to love my work. That is the key of course. Im taking this step very seriously and hopefully I will be successful..

This is all for now.
