Afonjanightmare:Can u be non-mayopic for just once. We are talking about professional field that are not given the same preferential and conducive environment like her counterpart. The Engineering profession supercede all others. There is no life without engineering. So we should not be denigrated. |

heykims:Are Engineering corper not productive in FERMA. Ministry of works, power, housing and other related ministry that needs Engineering. FERMA should liase with Engineering corpers. We can save cost for govt also. In fact we save cost more than any other professions due to high cost of paying construction personnel. |

I just thought of this lately.Engineering is a professional course and it should bE practised in its field during NYSC just like medical, pharmacist, dentist and law students that do their PPA in theirs. Its time for COREN and NSE to wake up and do something about this. They should keep on pressing this for us. The Engineering profession shoud not be be denigrated but acknowledged and respected because we give life meaning. This is a slap to our face. Fellow engineering students what do you think about this. Shouldn't we be placed under FERMA, ministry of works or construvtion companies. |

Have u seen anyone with difficulties in smelling? Anosmia (/ænˈɒzmiə/) is the inability to perceive odor or a lack of functioning olfaction—the loss of the sense of smell. Anosmia may be temporary, but some anosmia (including traumatic anosmia) can be permanent. Anosmia is due to a number of factors, including an inflammation of the nasal mucosa, blockage of nasal ages or a destruction of one temporal lobe. Inflammation is due to chronic mucosa changes in the paranasal sinus lining and the middle and superior turbinates. When anosmia is caused by inflammatory changes in the nasal ageways, it is treated simply by reducing inflammation.[1] It can be caused by chronic meningitis and neurosyphilis that would increase intracranial pressure over a long period of time,[2] and in some cases by ciliopathy[3] including ciliopathy due to primary ciliary dyskinesia (Kartagener syndrome, Afzelius' syndrome or Siewert's syndrome).[4] Many patients may experience unilateral anosmia, often as a result of minor head trauma. This type of anosmia is normally only detected if both of the nostrils are tested separately. Using this method of testing each nostril separately will often show a reduced or even completely absent sense of smell in either one nostril or both, something which is often not revealed if both nostrils are simultaneously tested.[5] A related term, hyposmia, refers to a decreased ability to smell, while hyperosmia refers to an increased ability to smell. Some people may be anosmic for one particular odor. This is known as "specific anosmia". The absence of the sense of smell from birth is called congenital anosmia. Signs and symptoms Anosmia can have a number of harmful effects. Patients with sudden onset anosmia may find food less appetizing, though congenital anosmics rarely complain about this, and none report a loss in weight. Loss of smell can also be dangerous because it hinders the detection of gas leaks, fire, and spoiled food. The common view of anosmia as trivial can make it more difficult for a patient to receive the same types of medical aid as someone who has lost other senses, such as hearing or sight. Losing an established and sentimental smell memory (e.g. the smell of grass, of the grandparents' attic, of a particular book, of loved ones, or of oneself) has been known to cause feelings of depression.[6] Loss of olfaction may lead to the loss of libido, though this usually does not apply to congenital anosmics.[6] Often people who have congenital anosmia report that they pretended to be able to smell as children because they thought that smelling was something that older/mature people could do, or did not understand the concept of smelling but did not want to appear different from others. When children get older, they often realize and report to their parents that they do not actually possess a sense of smell, often to the surprise of their parents.[6] A study done on patients suffering from anosmia found that when testing both nostrils, there was no anosmia revealed; however, when testing each nostril individually, tests showed that the sense of smell was usually affected in only one of the nostrils as opposed to both. This demonstrated that unilateral anosmia is not uncommon in anosmia patients. [5] Causes A temporary loss of smell can be caused by a blocked nose or infection. In contrast, a permanent loss of smell may be caused by death of olfactory receptor neurons in the nose or by brain injury in which there is damage to the olfactory nerve or damage to brain areas that process smell (see olfactory system). The lack of the sense of smell at birth, usually due to genetic factors, is referred to as congenital anosmia. Family of the patient suffering from congenital anosmia are often found with similar histories; this suggests that the anosmia may follow an autosomal dominant pattern.[7] Anosmia may very occasionally be an early sign of a degenerative brain disease such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. Another specific cause of permanent loss could be from damage to olfactory receptor neurons because of use of certain types of nasal spray; i.e., those that cause vasoconstriction of the nasal microcirculation. To avoid such damage and the subsequent risk of loss of smell, vasoconstricting nasal sprays should be used only when absolutely necessary and then for only a short amount of time. Non-vasoconstricting sprays, such as those used to treat allergy-related congestion, are safe to use for prescribed periods of time.[8] Anosmia can also be caused by nasal polyps. These polyps are found in people with allergies, histories of sinusitis & family history. Individuals with cystic fibrosis often develop nasal polyps. Amiodarone is a drug used in the treatment of arrhythmias of the heart. A clinical study performed demonstrated that the use of this drug induced anosmia in some patients. Although rare, there was a case in which a 66-year-old male was treated with Amiodarone for ventricular tachycardia. After the use of the drug he began experiencing olfactory disturbance, however after decreasing the dosage of Amiodarone, the severity of the anosmia decreased accordingly hence correlating the use of Amiodarone to the development of anosmia.[9] List of causes Upper respiratory tract infection (e.g., sinusitis or the common cold)[10] Nasal polyps Idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism Hypothyroidism Head trauma, damage to the ethmoid

No system seems to be working properly in this country. Ending last year NANS treatened to embark on a nationwide strike if federal government do no disburse money it owed SIWES students through ITF. Lots of corruption has been taking place in ITF, when will EFCC beam its searchlight on ITF. STUDEnts its time for us to fight FOR OUR RIGHT.
