BRCA1 and BRCA2 play a role in DNA repair and help keep breast, ovarian and other types of cells from growing uncontrollably. They’re referred to as tumour suppressor genes because when changes (mutations) in those genes develop, there’s an increased risk of breast, ovarian and other cancers. BRCA stands for Breast Cancer gene.
BRCA mutations are inherited; meaning, they’re passed down from your parents and run in families. To test for BRCA mutations, your healthcare provider takes a sample of your blood and analyses it. This genetic test identifies any mutation in one of the BRCA genes, knowing you have the mutation allows you to take steps that can help reduce your risk.
In cancer, genetic mutations change how our cells work, particularly how they divide and multiply. Most of these mutations happen during a person’s lifetime. Sometimes, though, people inherit mutations that put them at increased risk of developing an inherited (hereditary) cancer. Hereditary mutations cause about 5% to 12% of all cancers. Healthcare providers typically do genetic tests (DNA tests) to confirm someone has an inherited (hereditary) cancer.
If genetic tests show you have a hereditary mutation that increases your cancer risk, your healthcare provider may recommend that your family members have the same tests.
Gout is a painful form of arthritis. When your body has extra uric acid, sharp crystals may form in the big toe or other joints, causing episodes of swelling and pain called gout attacks. Gout is treatable with medications and changes in diet and lifestyle.
Gout causes pain and swelling in one or more joints. It typically affects the big toe. But it’s also found in other joints, including the knee, ankle, foot, hand, wrist, and elbow.
You may need a dental crown for several reasons, including:
- Protecting a weak tooth (possibly from decay) from breaking or to keep the weak tooth together if parts of it are cracked.
- Restoring a broken tooth or a severely worn-down tooth.
- Covering and supporting a tooth with a large filling and not much tooth remaining.
- Holding a dental bridge in place.
- Covering misshapen or severely discoloured teeth.
- Covering a dental implant.
- Covering a tooth that’s been treated with a root canal.
Contact your Dentist and make an appointment for a check-up so your Dentist can give their professional opinion on what is the best treatment plan for you.
Over time, your teeth can get damaged. This can happen for a variety of reasons, like tooth decay, injuries or just use over time. Your teeth can lose their shape or size. Dental crowns are tooth-shaped “caps” that can be placed over your tooth. Think of it like a snug hat for your tooth. The crown restores the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance. The dental crown is cemented into place on your tooth, and it covers the visible portion of the tooth.
H. pylori is a bacterium that can cause peptic ulcer disease and gastritis. Only 20% of those infected have symptoms. Symptoms include dull or burning stomach pain, unplanned weight loss and bloody vomit. H-pylori-caused ulcers are commonly treated with combinations of antibiotics.
If you have an H. pylori infection, you have an increased risk for stomach cancer later in life. If you have a strong family history of stomach cancer and other cancer risk factors, even though you may not have symptoms of a stomach ulcer, your healthcare provider may recommend being tested for H. pylori antibodies. In addition to screening and treatment, your provider may suggest some lifestyle changes, such as including more fruits, vegetables and fibre in your diet. Regular check-ups with your provider and following their recommendations can reduce your cancer risk.
Stretch marks are a form of scarring that appear after your skin quickly stretches or shrinks. They often happen due to pregnancy, weight gain, weight loss and bodybuilding. Treatment options include laser skin resurfacing, dermabrasion, micro-needling and retinol creams.
Prediabetes means you have higher than normal blood sugar levels. Unmanaged prediabetes can lead to Type 2 diabetes. Prediabetes doesn’t always have symptoms, so it’s important to get blood sugar levels tested, especially if you’re at high risk. Losing weight, exercising regularly, and eating healthy can reverse prediabetes and prevent Type 2 diabetes.
Deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot in a vein located deep within your body, usually in your leg. Get treatment right away so you can prevent serious complications. Treatments include medicines, compression stockings and surgery. Be patient. You may need to take medicine for a few months and wear compression stockings for two years.
Acne is a skin condition that occurs when the hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells, usually appearing most prominently on the face, forehead, chest, upper back, and shoulder areas.
It can cause whiteheads, blackheads or pimples and is most common amongst teenagers, though it can affect people of all ages. Hormonal changes such as puberty and menopause, certain medications, diet, and stress are some of the main factors that can cause the initial outbreaks.
Effective acne treatments are available, but acne can be persistent. The pimples and bumps heal slowly, and when one begins to go away, others seem to crop up. Depending on its severity, acne can cause emotional distress, be the cause of bullying and leave prominent scarring to the skin. The earlier the treatment is started, the lower the risk of such problems. Some acnes can even be treated with specialised aesthetic treatments such as PRP or mesotherapy.
Seek medical advice, they can advise on skin care and prescribe medication if necessary. Helping get him get his acne under control should in-turn help positively improve his self-confidence.
Yes, now available is an effective and harmless non-surgical treatment called Mesotherapy that can help with this.
Mesotherapy can be used alone or alongside other aesthetic treatments to combat many skin problems and even hair loss. The procedure is performed with the use of micro-injections of plant-based vitamins, serums, and nutrients, that permeate the skin for nurturing and rejuvenation.
Main benefits of Mesotherapy treatment include:
- Removal of skin pigmentation and age spots.
- Smooth Fine lines and wrinkles,
- Tightening of the skin on face and neck area.
- Revitalise skin by stimulating the production collagen and elastin.
- Even and fresh complexion.
- Removal of acne and scarring.
- Treatment for hair loss.
One of the other significant mesotherapy face benefits is skin hydration, it keeps the skin hydrated by increasing the moisture in the skin. Consequently, your skin will look more healthy, hydrated, and radiant.
If you want perfectly glowing skin without surgery, then contact your Aesthetic specialist to check is this treatment is the right choice for you.
Your gums should not bleed when you brush or floss. With gums that bleed, there is much more to consider than just the pain or discomfort associated with the bleeding itself, as this could be a warning sign of gum disease.
Periodontal gum disease is an infection of the tissues that hold your teeth in place. It is most often caused by poor brushing and flossing habits that allow plaque, a sticky film of bacteria to build up on the teeth and harden. In advanced stages, periodontal disease can lead to sore, bleeding gums; painful chewing problems; and even tooth loss.
Some of the symptoms associated with gum disease are:
- Constant bad breath
- Red, swollen, or receding gums that bleed
- Sensitive teeth or tooth loss.
Some helpful tips to help keep your gums and teeth healthy and brushing and flossing your teeth twice a day, use a water flosser and if you smoke, then quit.
Contact your Dentist immediately, if you notice that your gums are bleeding on a regular basis.

When a person is missing teeth, he or she may experience a variety of problems, lack of confident when smiling or difficulty pronouncing words when speaking or eating certain foods.
Dentures are appliances that are custom made to replace a person’s missing teeth and restore the appearance and oral functions that were lost.
When the denture does not fit correctly or an accident happens and our dentures break or fracture and we can no longer use them, it can be overwhelming and embarrassing.
Afterall, we need them, just as the same as anyone with natural teeth, to carry on life as normal. For most denture wearers, broken or ill-fitting dentures are cause for an emergency and need to be treated by your Dentist as just that, “An Emergency”.
Don’t wait, find a Dental practice in your area that can offer an Express Dental Service, often being able to fix dentures within the hour or while you wait without compromising on the quality of the work done.
Rh incompatibility is when a mother is Rh negative and her baby is Rh positive, which can cause problems during pregnancy.
If the baby’s Rh positive blood cells enter the mother’s circulation, her immune system may view them as “foreign” — and, in a normal immune response, mobilize armies of antibodies to attack these unfamiliar cells.
Since red blood cells carry oxygen, this type of attack can make it hard for a baby to get the amount of oxygen it needs. That can potentially cause a serious type of anaemia and other health problems. Rh incompatibility only becomes a problem if you and your baby’s blood mix, most likely during birth. At that point, the antibodies your body makes cannot harm your baby.
We cannot pick or choose what time of the day that throbbing toothache starts or when we suffer a dental accident. With both these issues there comes a point where painkillers stop working, causing the pain to become incessant and debilitating. Female patients often say that childbirth was
much less painful. This is when it is essential to seek the help of a 24-hour Emergency Dentist.
So, what could be the cause of the toothache?
There are many dental issues that can cause a throbbing toothache, but the most common are:
- Dental Cavities.
- Dental Abscess.
- Root Canal Infection.
- Irreversible Pulpitis.
- Trauma (essential to be repaired within 24 hours)
- Acute Sinusitis.
Most dental emergencies are however prevented with good hygiene. Simple things, such as brushing and flossing the teeth after every meal, will help keep the mouth healthy. If engaged in contact sports, wear a mouth guard to shield the teeth.
Book an appointment with your dentist at least twice a year. Regular check-up and cleans can help spot any potential issues that can affect tooth health.
Don’t wait until a dental emergency to contact your dentist. Prevention is better than having to cure a problem created by neglect. Remember dental treatment can be surprisingly cheaper and faster than you think.
be allergies?
Yes, certainly this could be the cause. An allergy starts when the immune system mistakes a normally harmless substance for a dangerous invader(allergen). This causes the immune system to produce antibodies that remain on the alert for that specific allergen. When exposed to the allergen again, these antibodies release an immune system chemical, causing a reaction.
Most allergies are incurable, with their severity ranging from person to person, some suffering minor irritation whilst others can be so highly allergic, that it can be life threatening.
Allergy to pollens (hay fever) can cause:
- Sneezing and itching of the nose, roof of mouth and eyes.
- Blocked and stuffy nose.
- Watery, red, or swollen eyes.
Available now is a new non-invasive test that concrete the allergy. With the results correct medication can be prescribed, relieving the symptoms.
A food allergy can cause you to suffer:
- Weight gain, bloating and general feeling of unwellness.
- Swelling of the lips, tongue, face, or throat.
- Hives (skin rash).
- Anaphylaxis shock (emergency treatment needed immediately).
A simple stool test can easily diagnose the allergy and with the advice of a Nutritionist you will be feeling better within no time at all.
Studies show that omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil is associated with a decreased risk of high blood pressure and triglyceride levels There’s also some evidence that diets high in omega-3 fatty acids help with rheumatoid arthritis. Past evidence pointed to omega-3 fatty acids reducing risk of heart attacks, strokes, and death from heart disease.
Asthma can develop at any age, but the most common times ate at about 2 years, 5 to 7 years of age and at puberty (12 to 14 years). Asthma may be triggered by infections, allergies, exercise, temperature changes, emotional changes or hormonal changes. One of the most common presenting symptoms in children is a persistent dry cough. Once asthma is diagnosed, attacks may occur regularly, seasonally, or very rarely. If regular attacks occur, medication will be given to prevent them. If attacks are infrequent, medication can be used when required. It is very important to receive adequate treatment for asthma, to seek further help if the cough or wheeze continues, and to follow your doctors instructions carefully.
Pain under the heel is one of the most common problems seen by a Podiatrist (chiropodist). It can be caused by a spur on the bottom of the heel bone, by inflammation of the large fibrous band that maintains the arch of the foot, or from damage to the heel tissues from running on hard surfaces. Joggers are particularly susceptible to heel pain, and should ensure that they wear good running shoes.
Contact us for an appointment with our Podiatrist to eleviate the problem.
Drinking must be avoided by pregnant ladies. Generally, it is difficult to determine the exact amount of alcohol which can harm the unborn babies because every woman’ s metabolic response to alcohol is different. So, on the safer side, it will be good, if you abstain from alcohol during your pregnancy.
By consuming alcohol, you will be putting your unborn child on a risk of various serious health problems.

Of course, it’s normal to forget things occasionally as we age, but if you, a family member, or friend has problems remembering recent events or thinking clearly, find it hard to perform everyday tasks such as driving or even finding your way home, this is when you should start to worry and seek help from your GP.
Your GP can perform a thorough exam using cognitive tests to assess the severity of the problem, and if necessary, organise for a specialised genetic blood test or brain scan to further diagnose the source of the memory loss.

Boutons, acné. Peu importe leur nom, personne n’aime les avoir. Les boutons sont dus à un blocage de la sortie d'huile des milliers de minuscules glandes sébacées de la peau. Ce blocage peut être dû à la saleté, aux flocons de peau morte ou à un épaississement et une production excessive d'huile elle-même. Si l'acné est sévère au départ ou si les préparations en vente libre ne vous aident pas, consultez votre médecin généraliste. Il ou elle utilisera des antibiotiques et. des préparations cutanées plus puissantes pour contrôler plus efficacement le problème.
If the acne is severe to start with, or the over-the-counter preparations do not help, see your general practitioner. He or she will use antibiotics and. more potent skin preparations to more effectively control the problem.
This case describes the typical presentation and outcome of ‘ nursing bottle decay’ or ‘ bottle caries’ , which is seen in young children who are not yet weaned from the bottle. Bottle caries is caused by frequent feeding of sweetened liquids from a bottle, especially before the child goes to sleep. Sugar in the liquid mixes with bacteria in the dental plaque to form acids that attack tooth enamel. Each time a sweet liquid is taken, acids attack the teeth for at least 20 minutes. When children are awake, the saliva is able to remove some of the liquid. However, during sleep, the saliva flow decreases and the sweet liquids collect around the teeth for prolonged periods, bathing the teeth in acids. The earliest appearance of decay is the enamel turning a chalky white colour, usually around the gum line. Then as more calcium is lost from the tooth, a hole finally appears. In severe cases of bottle caries, the cavities can ringbark the teeth and cause them to break off. At the early stages, the cavities do not cause pain, but as they enlarge, increasing discomfort may be experienced, and dental abscesses may result. Bottle caries may be treated by fillings or extractions, but because most children are not cooperative at such a young age, they usually need to be sedated. Very often, general anaesthetics have to be given. The best form of treatment for nursing bottle decay is prevention. Children should not be allowed to sleep with a bottle of sweet liquid. If a child needs a bottle for comfort before falling asleep, fill the bottle with plain water, milk or formula, and remove the bottle as soon as the child is asleep. Dummies should never be dipped in honey.
L'artère principale transportant le sang de votre cœur vers le reste du corps s'appelle l'aorte. Celui-ci peut avoir un diamètre de 2 à 3 cm et se déplace le long de la poitrine et de l'abdomen juste à l'intérieur de la colonne vertébrale. Si cette grande artère développe un point faible de l'athérosclérose (durcissement de l'artère), un anévrisme peut se développer. La paroi de l'artère est composée de trois couches. Si le point faible permet au sang de s'infiltrer dans la zone située entre deux de ces couches, il les séparera progressivement et provoquera un gonflement en forme de ballon sur le côté de l'artère. Il existe plusieurs types d'anévrisme. Certains sont comme le ballon rond traditionnel et sont assis comme de petits boutons sur le côté d'une artère. D'autres sont longs et minces et apparaissent comme un épaississement de l'artère. Les deux types sont assez graves, car ils peuvent éclater s'ils gonflent trop ou si vous recevez un coup dans la zone vitale. Consultez votre médecin pour faire plus de tests diagnostiques sous forme d'échographie et autres. En conséquence, les médecins opèrent généralement pour corriger la condition une fois qu'elle est trouvée.
