VACUUM BREAST BIOPSY
Breast examination by mammogram or ultrasound is the standard diagnostic tools for breast disease. If there is a suspected mass or calcification, a biopsy is taken for more specific diagnosis. In the past, biopsy tools are used for diagnosis only.
Do inguinal hernias affect sexual functions and satisfactions?
An inguinal hernia occurs when fatty or intestinal tissues protrude through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles. It can appear as a swelling or lump in the groin or as an enlarged scrotum in some men. When inguinal hernias develop, certain concerns are often raised on sexual desires and functions as well as fertility. Regarding clinical studies, certain surgical approach to treat inguinal hernias might disrupt male’s sexual performance. Hence, it is crucial to clarify these issues prior to treatments, allowing relief and better understanding.

An allergy is one of the most common chronic diseases that can be found in people of all age groups. An allergy is an immune system response to a certain foreign substances that are not typically harmful to the body.
Chronic Back Pain Might Suggest Ankylosing Spondylitis
Back pain with different severity degrees can be caused by a wide range of medical conditions. Acute back pain can be treated effectively if accurate diagnosis can be timely made. However, if back pain progresses to chronic and severe pain without adequate response to given treatments, it might strongly indicate arthritic disease, called ankylosing spondylitis. Ankylosing spondylitis is defined as an inflammatory disease that, over time, can cause some of the small bones in the spine (vertebrae) to fuse. This fusing makes the spine less flexible, resulting in stiffness and chronic back pain that can largely interfere with quality of life. If warning signs and symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis arise, medical attention and treatment must be sought immediately.
Early Detection of Peripheral Arterial Disease Reduces Risk of Limb Amputation
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a common circulatory problem in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the limbs e.g. the legs and arms. The severity of PAD varies, depending on the occlusive degrees, from mild discomfort to debilitating leg pain. If left untreated, this vascular disease might become chronic problem and act as a silent killer that can result in life-threatening conditions. If warning signs and symptoms of PAD exhibit, they must not be overlooked. Immediate medical attention for early detection of PAD should be sought in order to get accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment before it progresses as well as reduce disease severity and chances of critical limb ischemia and limb amputation.
Early Detection of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)
Blood vessel occlusion or blockage can potentially lead to serious health problems, such as cardiovascular disease, neurovascular disease, hypertension and peripheral arterial disease (PAD). These vascular problems often result in life-threatening conditions, especially if early detection cannot be applied in time. Pulse volume recoding (PVR), an advanced non-invasive peripheral vascular diagnostic system helps to detect blood vessel blockage or plaque buildup that puts a person at risk of developing peripheral arterial diseases, allowing effective and timely treatments before conditions progress.
