<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Acne is a skin condition in which the sebaceous or oil glands of the
skin become inflamed. At first, the sebaceous glands become blocked
by white and blackheads. Then they become inflamed and can lead to
red bumps called papules and yellow heads called pustules and even deep and
tender cysts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Acne is a very common condition in adolescence. It occurs in
young men aged between 13 and 18 and worsens between 18 and 19 years
old. It is less common in girls and common around 14 years old and
worsen especially around period time. It usually settles by the age
of 20, but may continue longer in severe cases.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Acne is related to an increase in the levels of male hormones during
puberty in both sexes. Although the increase in the hormone levels is normal,
some people are more sensitive to it. The rise in the hormone levels stimulate
the growth of bacteria that live on our skin. This causes the blockage of the
sebaceous glands and release fatty acids which in turn irritate and inflame our
skin, hence causing acne formation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The prostate is a brownish gland about the size of a
walnut. It surrounds the opening of the bladder and about the first
2.5 cm of the urethra which is the urine tube passing from the bladder to the
penis. The prostate produces substances that make up a small part of
the semen in the ejaculation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The trouble with the waterworks is usually caused by the enlargement of
the prostate gland. Almost every man over 45 years of age will have some
degree of the prostate enlargement in which the majority is due to benign
prostate hypertrophy (BPH). Some medications, such as alcohol,
medications used to treat depression, Parkinson’s disease, irregularity of the
heart beats and over the counter ephedrine-like compounds for cough and colds
can cause or exacerbate prostate enlargement. Although prostate
enlargement is common in men over 45 years old, it rarely causes any problems
before the age of 50. About 50% of men over the age of 55 will have
waterworks trouble. This proportion increases to 80% for men over 80 years old.
Serious waterworks trouble affects 2 in 10 elderly men.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">BPH is not dangerous, but it can causes problems with your normal
waterworks function as described in the above symptoms. More serious problems
are the urine infection, sudden acute blockage of the urine, called acute urine
retention, and slow blockage of the urine, called chronic urine retention. If
this is to occur, a urinary catheter can be inserted by your doctor to relieve
severe urine obstruction.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">When you see your doctor for a prostate check-up, your doctor usually
asks you a number of related medical questions regarding to your
prostate. Your doctor will then perform a prostate examination with
a gloved finger to feel your prostate through the back passage. After that,
your doctor may choose to order a prostate blood test called
PSA. All of the related medical history, examination as well as the
blood test will help your doctor to determine the state of health and condition
of your prostate. It is highly advised that you should have a regular prostate check-up
if you are a middle aged man or older and have any waterworks trouble, or have
a personal or family history of prostate problems, or if you are taking
medications that can affect your prostate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Peptic ulcer disease is a medical condition in which there are small
ulcerations in the lining of the stomach or the duodenum(the first, small part
of the bowel). Most ulcers are in the duodenum (duodenal ulcers) and
a smaller number develops in the stomach (gastric ulcers).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Our stomach produces lots of acidic juices which help to digest foods
that we eat. This stomach acid juice can erode the lining of our
stomach and duodenum if it is excessively produced. As a result,
stomach or duodenal ulcers are formed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">We also know that a bacteria in the stomach called Helicobacter pylori
can exacerbate the ulceration of our stomach or duodenal lining in the presence
of the stomach acid juices, hence accelerating and enhancing the formation of
peptic ulcer disease. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Other common causes of peptic ulcer diseases are heavy alcohol
consumption, heavy cigarette smoking, stress, anxiety and depression. Another
common modern cause is the use of drugs to treat arthritis pain known as
non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The common symptoms of peptic ulcer disease are upper abdominal pain,
heart burn, indigestion, “hunger pain” with an empty stomach, pain relieved by
antacid and milk. Other uncommon symptoms are back pain and vomiting up blood

tiredness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

control. However, if left untreated, bleeding can occur, resulting
in an emergency situation and anaemia. Perforation or blockage of
the duodenum can occur. Cancer can also occur with stomach ulcers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The diagnosis of peptic ulcer disease can be made based on the symptoms
and signs that you have trial treatment medications. The definitive
investigation for it is a gastroscopy which involves a camera going down your
throat and through your oesophagus, entering your stomach and small bowel to
visualize the ulcerations of the stomach and duodenal lining. This
is done by a specialist under light anaesthetic medications. It is
usually a simple day procedure. Other tests include a breath test
for helicobacter pylori and blood tests. You should see your doctor
to have an assessment and these tests organized and get treated.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Peptic ulcer disease is now very treatable with modern
medications. You should see your doctor for assessment and
treated. Antacids may not be enough and there are other medications
which are very effective in treating and controlling peptic ulcer disease. An
appropriate antibiotic course can also help eradicate the stomach bacteria,
Helicobacter pylori. If all of these fail, then an operation can also
be very successful.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Most women do not know that they have osteoporosis. It is often first
found out when a bone breaks, usually in the hips, wrists or spine. A
simple X-ray may give us some basic information about osteoporosis, especially
if the bone loss is reaching 50%. The best test for osteoporosis is the DEXA
bone densitometry scan of the spine and neck or femur. Your doctor
can organise these tests for you when you see them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Osteoarthritis is a medical condition in which the joints become
inflamed, stiff, painful and uncomfortable. It is the most common
type of arthritis in the aging population in our society. It is due
to the wear and tear process of our joints, therefore is also called
degenerative joint disease. The smooth cartilage that covers and
protects the ends of our bones at the joints are slowly worn
away. As a result, the joint becomes rough and stiff and then
inflammation develops. Osteoarthritis occurs in 1 in 10 people over
the age of 40, and becomes more common and present in almost all people who are
60 years old and above.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">The most common reason for the loss of the cartilage is the wear and
tear due to aging, but many people never notice it. It commonly develops in
joints that were injured earlier in life and joints that have been overworked. It
mostly affects the weight bearing joints, such as the spines, knees, hips,
shoulders and elbows. The joints at the base of the thumbs as well as fingers
are also common sites.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The severity of osteoarthritis varies. The common symptoms are pain,
swelling, stiffness of the affected joints. Stiffness is usually worse in the
morning. Pain is worse after excessive or prolonged activities, such as
walking, jogging and running. Movement at the joints may be difficult and can
interfere with our normal every day activities. Osteoarthritis seldom becomes a
serious problem and is not a life threatening condition. However, it can cause
bad pain, stiffness and discomfort and affect the joint range of movements and
our physical being in severe cases.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">High blood pressure means your blood pressure measurement is higher than
the normal readings for the general population. There are two
readings of blood pressure that your doctor measures, namely systolic and
diastolic pressures. Your systolic pressure is the pressure when
your heart pumps the blood to supply your whole body. Your diastolic
pressure is the measured pressure when your heart relaxes its muscle and takes
blood into it.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Your blood pressure is measured in millimetres of mercury
(mmHg). Your blood pressure is classified as high when your readings
are greater than the normal readings at rest, with the upper normal limit of
systolic pressure of 140 mmHg and diastolic pressure of 90 mmHg. However,
your treating doctor may like to aim to keep your blood pressure at or below
130/80.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">In the majority of the cases about 95%, there is no identified cause for
high blood pressure. The other 5% of cases, kidney diseases, heart
conditions, endocrine diseases and other rarer medical disorders can cause high
blood pressure. Excessive amount of alcohol drinking can also cause
high blood pressure. The other causes of high blood pressure are a
high-salt diet, smoking, stress, obesity, family history, some illicit drug uses,
and sedentary living.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

population in Western countries have high blood pressure. It is also
common in people who have a high-salt diet, excessive alcohol intake, smoking,
stress, obesity, illicit drug use, lack of physical activities and
obesity. Our blood pressure also tends to rise higher when we get
older. Please also note that regular exercise at moderation can help
improve your high blood pressure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

that you have your blood pressure checked more regularly with your doctor,
especially when you are at or above 40 years old.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

irritating allergies in the air. It is also known as allergic
rhinitis. It is also similar to asthma, except that fact that the
allergic over-sensitive reaction occurs in the upper respiratory tract instead
of the lungs. There are two types of allergic
rhinitis. The first is seasonal rhinitis which occurs only during
certain seasons, usually spring. The second type is perennial
rhinitis. It is present throughout the whole year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Hay fever is not a serious disease. However, if left
un-treated, it can lead to asthma, nasal polyps and hearing
problems. There is no cure for hay fever. Modern
treatment can control the problems and relieve its symptoms. Hay
fever can be so mild that some people do not realize they have it and some seem
to grow out of it. You should consult your doctor if you have severe
symptoms of hay fever.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

medications do not cause as much drowsiness as the older ones did. Sprays
for the nose and drops for the eyes are also available on medical prescription.
These nasal sprays and eye drops are very effective. Please see your doctor for
advice and effective treatments on your hay fever.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Gout is a type of arthritis. It is caused by uric acid crystals deposited
in the spaces between the joints of the feet, hands and some larger joints. The
deposition of the uric acid causes inflammation in the joints and the
surrounding tissues, resulting in severe pain.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Uric acid is a waste product from the body, especially from the
breakdown of proteins called purines. It is often cleared by the kidney and
passed in our urine. When the level of uric acid is high and our
kidneys are unable to cope with the high load of uric acid, gout is formed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Almost anyone can get gout. However, it does appear to be
hereditary. It is far more common in men between ages of 30 and 60
years old. There are many well-known people who had gout, such as
Alexander the Great, Kublai Khan, Michelangelo, Martin Luther, Isaac Newton,
Henry VIII, John Wesley, Francis Bacon and Benjamin Franklin.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The main symptom of gout is severe pain, usually in the hands and feet,
especially at the base of the big toe. Sometimes, it can occur at
the elbows or knees. Pain usually comes without warning and often in
the early morning. Then the joints become tender and you may not be able
to bear weight. The inflamed skin over the joint is often red, shiny
and dry. The first episode of gout flare up usually lasts for a
period from a few hours to about 2-3 days, depending on how soon you begin
treatment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Over-indulgence in rich foods and alcohol can bring on an acute attack
of gout in people who are prone to have gout. Gout is also
associated with obesity and high blood pressure. Some medications,
such as fluid tablets, injury, surgery or starvation can bring on
gout. Gout is a curable disease, however, if it is left untreated,
it can cause kidney stones, kidney failure and, in rare cases, death.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The earlier you get on with treatment for an acute attack of gout, the
better the outcome will be. You should see your doctor for
assessment and advice on treatment. There are some medications available
for any acute gout flare up. Analgesic medications can also be used
for the severe pain in gout. You should also have plenty of fluid,
especially water. Bed rest is important. Some relief can be obtained
by using a heat pack or ice pack over the affected joints. Keeping the weight
of the bedclothes off your feet can also help relief pain.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">People with many frequent recurrent episodes of acute gout flare up may

and maintain a penile erection sufficiently for sexual
intercourse. It is quite common in our population, affecting at
least 1 in 20 men at 45 years old. It becomes more common in the older
population of men as well as men with certain medical conditions, at least 1 in
3 men at 65 years of age.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 14.2pt; text-align: justify;">
Emphysema is a respiratory disease in which the healthy, elastic, sponge-like
tissue of the lungs is damaged. As a result, it does not squeeze the air in and
out the lungs properly. It is similar to an old flabby football or a
car tyre tube that has perished. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 14.2pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 14.2pt; text-align: justify;">
When the lungs’ elastic function is lost, it means air cannot move in
and out of the lungs easily. The oxygen supply to the lungs and hence our
whole body is reduced. This greatly affect the function of all the
cells and organs in our body because oxygen is vital to our living. People with
emphysema have to breathe harder to get more air in and out to maintain the
oxygen supply to the body. If this continues, the lack of oxygen,
the exhaustion of laboured breathing and the damage of the lung tissue will
deteriorate. People with emphysema can become tired, exhausted and
unwell.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Emphysema is caused by cigarette smoking. Smoking damages the lung
tissue. As time goes on, if damage continues, the lung elastic function is
lost. It has been found that emphysema is approximately 13 times more
common in smokers than in non-smoker. There are other irritating things that
can also cause emphysema. These irritants are industrial fumes and dusts. People
who work in mining and industrial towns who have been exposed to these
irritants often have breathing trouble as a result of emphysema.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">When people inhale cigarette smoke, 80-90% of the cigarette smoke will
remain in the lungs. The presence of tar in cigarette smoke causes irritation,
inflammation, damage to the lung tissue and increased mucus production. The tar
and mucus build-up in the lungs and block the airways and damage lung tissue. As
a result, chronic bronchitis and emphysema are created. If you continue to
smoke, the problem will get worse. If you stop smoking, the disease
may stay steady or may even improve when the lung tissues repair and recover
from the damage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Diabetes is a medical disorder in which there is too much sugar in the
blood. This is caused by the lack of a hormone called insulin that
is produced by a gland in our body called the pancreas. The incidence of
diabetes is about one in every thirty people. It tends to increase as we get
older with age.</span></span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">There are two main types of diabetes. Type 1 is also known as
juvenile-onset diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes. It occurs
mainly in young people. Patients with type 1 diabetes require
insulin injection, because their pancreas produces little or no insulin at all.
The cause for this in majority of the cases is unknown.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Type 2 diabetes is known as mature-onset diabetes or non-insulin
dependent diabetes. It mainly affects people at or above 40 years of age. Many
of these patients are overweight and have a high intake of excessive calories
and sugar in their diet. It is usually controlled by proper diet and regular
exercise. Some patients will need diabetes medications and others may need
insulin to control their type 2 diabetes.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Atopic eczema is a medical condition which refers to an inflamed, red, scaly
and itchy allergic skin condition that commonly runs in the family. However,
anyone can become allergic. It is common and affects about 5% of the population.
It has no particular cause and is not contagious. It can start in infants of
any age. Atopic eczema tends to improve when the children get older and many
children outgrow it by late childhood and most by puberty. However, some
patients continue to have symptoms throughout their life. The atopic eczema
rash often persists in specific areas, such as the flexures of elbows, knees,
face, neck, fingers and toes. It tends to be coarse, dry, rough and itchy.</span></span></div>

usually starts in infants on the face and scalp in small areas. In severe
cases, it can cover large areas and become very itchy, weeping and crusted. This
often causes young children to be very irritable and uncomfortable.</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

effective to keep eczema under control. If skin infection occurs on top of the
atopic eczema, then a course of antibiotics is appropriate.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Asthma affects between 1 in 4 and 1 in 5 Australian children, usually in
a mild form. It usually comes on in children between the ages of two and eight.
If asthma is treated early, most children will “grow out of it” by adulthood. However,
a small number of asthma patients (about 1 in 5) may still have asthma into
adulthood. It is estimated that approximately 2 in 10 adults have asthma.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Severe asthma and poorly controlled asthma can cause growth retardation
in children. Severe asthma attacks and flare-ups can result in death. Asthma
can also cause disturbance in our family, school and social activities and
daily living activities. With appropriate treatment and management, almost all
children should be able to live a normal life and enjoy normal, everyday
activities.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

treatment. You should see your local doctors for your asthma assessment and
