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.

Effects of Sleep Deprivation
We have long been told that we need eight hours of sleep per day so our body can repair itself. But current information suggests that most people probably do not need the full 8 hours of sleep. We only need “quality sleep”.
INSOMNIA DIAGNOSIS
To diagnose if you are suffering from insomnia or not, your doctor will check your medical history and obtain the detail of your sleep habits
Sleep test for Insomnia
Patients who have trouble sleeping without a known cause, do not respond to sleep disorder treatments, or have physical and other sleeping problems – such as snoring – are recommended to have a sleep test to closely evaluate their sleep quality.
