Ways to detect heart disease

Heart disease is an umbrella term for a range of conditions that affect the heart. This includes irregular heartbeat (arrhythmias), coronary artery disease, angina, cardiomyopathies, and heart failure. Getting diagnosed with heart disease is not particularly straightforward, as heart disease may not be apparent to patients as soon as they contract it; symptoms may begin manifesting once the disease is quite far along. That is why detection is so important.

Neck lumps and their link to head and neck cancer

Finding a lump in your neck can be concerning, and it’s natural to wonder what it might indicate.

Minimally invasive techniques and the latest developments to improve ageing skin

Unfortunately, time comes for us all, and it is not often kind. We wear our years and experiences on our skin, but sometimes it may look like more years than we’ve actually lived! As skin ages, it loses fat, elasticity, and solid colouration, and this skin is unable to regenerate as it did in youth. This results in skin that is thin, sagging and loose, wrinkly, and speckled with sunspots and discolouration. There are several procedures on the market to conceal and reverse the effects of ageing, ranging from major plastic surgery to daily skincare regimens.

Understanding and managing bedwetting: a guide for parents

Bedwetting, also called enuresis, is quite normal for children to do as they are still learning how to control their bladders. When babies are born, they are unable to control their bladders and bowels – rightfully so! – and parents will put them in diapers so that they can “go potty” whenever. But as they start developing communication skills and independent mobility once they’re a little older, between 18 months to three years, they will indicate their readiness to use the toilet themselves.
