A cataract is a dense, cloudy area that forms in the lens of the eye. Although it is age-related condition that gradually develops in the elderly over time, a cataract can be also found in people aged over 40. Contributing factors to cataracts in younger age group usually involve prolonged use of corticosteroid medications, previous eye injury or inflammation and excessive exposure to sunlight. Warning signs and symptoms are clouded, blurred or dim vision and increasing difficulty with vision at night. If left untreated, these symptoms progressively continue as cataracts grow larger, resulting in continual loss of vision. It eventually leads to legal blindness or even total blindness. Being aware of abnormal signs substantially helps to prevent cataracts and reduce disease severity. Having regular eye examinations can significantly detect cataracts and other eye problems at their earliest stages before diseases progress and complications develop.
Chronic lung diseases often develop slowly and gradually destroy lung tissue until symptoms such as fatigue and difficulty breathing become apparent, by which time it may be too late. Lung function tests in the early stages, especially for those with high risk factors or those showing pulmonary symptoms, are very important for diagnosing the disease, assessing the patient's condition, and monitoring the treatment outcome.
Pulmonary function testing is an examination of various physiological aspects of the respiratory system.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a chronic lung disease in which patients have a pathology of emphysematous air sacs and/or chronic inflamed bronchi occurring together. Common symptoms include fatigue, coughing, and sputum production.

Thyroid nodule is more common in women than men (4:1). While most thyroid nodules are non-cancerous (Benign), approximately 5-10% are cancerous.
Thyroid surgery with a camera is a new type of thyroid surgery where the incision is small, there are no scars, and the pain from surgery is less than with traditional surgical methods.
Radiofrequency treatment is a therapy that involves the use of radio waves to penetrate into the tissue that blocks the respiratory tract. This causes the targeted tissue to contract, making the airway more open, and eliminating snoring and sleep apnea conditions.
Nosebleeds in adults often involve a significant amount of blood loss and can occur both from the front of the nose and down the throat. They may temporarily stop on their own but typically recur if the underlying cause is not addressed.
Snoring can be found in 3-12% of children. It is common but may also be the first sign of obstructive sleep apnea, which is common in preschool and kindergarten children. It can have effects on daytime learning, behavior, and emotion. If your child makes noise when breathing during sleep or snoring becomes noticeable, you should consult a doctor.
