It is nor­mal for you to expe­ri­ence changes in your vision through­out your life, and as you age, your risk of devel­op­ing cer­tain eye con­di­tions increas­es as well. For most peo­ple, changes in their eyes begin in their ear­ly to mid-40s and will con­tin­ue into their ear­ly 60s. The most com­mon visu­al change in old­er adults is dif­fi­cul­ty see­ing things close by, pri­mar­i­ly when read­ing or work­ing on a com­put­er. This is a con­di­tion called pres­by­opia, a nor­mal change in your eye­’s abil­i­ty to focus. This hap­pens when the lens of your eye los­es some of its flex­i­bil­i­ty, mak­ing it more dif­fi­cult for your eyes to shift eas­i­ly from objects far away to objects near­by. Typ­i­cal symp­toms include dif­fi­cul­ty read­ing print mate­ri­als includ­ing books, news­pa­pers or menus, espe­cial­ly in dim light. You may find your­self hold­ing objects away from you in order to see more clear­ly. Once it devel­ops, pres­by­opia will con­tin­ue to progress as you age. Indi­vid­u­als who already wear glass­es or con­tact lens­es may need to switch to bifo­cal or mul­ti­fo­cal lens­es for help with near and far dis­tances. Those who haven’t need­ed con­tacts or glass­es in the past may need to use read­ing glass­es mov­ing forward.

Sprains in any joint of the body hap­pen when a lig­a­ment is stretched or torn. For ankles, this typ­i­cal­ly occurs dur­ing sports activ­i­ties or a mis­step while walking/​running on uneven sur­faces. Learn the best way to man­age the pain from a sprained ankle.

So, why do hives occur? It turns out that there are many dif­fer­ent caus­es. For­tu­nate­ly, most cas­es are rel­a­tive­ly mild con­di­tions that are not life threat­en­ing. But, there are a few instances where urticaria, or the hives, rep­re­sents a seri­ous under­ly­ing med­ical condition.

Each year, more than half a mil­lion chil­dren in the Unit­ed States under­go surgery to remove their ton­sils and ade­noids due to recur­ring sore throats, enlarged ton­sils or ade­noids or fre­quent infec­tions, espe­cial­ly those that cause oth­er symp­toms like obstruc­tive sleep apnea or dif­fi­cul­ty breathing.

Accord­ing to the Amer­i­can Can­cer Soci­ety, skin can­cer accounts for near­ly half of all can­cers in the Unit­ed States and is the most com­mon of all can­cers. The most aggres­sive and dan­ger­ous type of skin can­cer is Melanoma.

These days, the pres­sure is on for young ath­letes to stay at the top of their game and play more fre­quent­ly at an ear­li­er age. We under­stand it can tough for par­ents to know when rest and relief is necessary.

Your liv­er sup­ports many of your essen­tial bod­i­ly func­tions, includ­ing pro­duc­ing both the essen­tial pro­teins that help with blood clot­ting and the diges­tive enzymes that help your body absorb vit­a­mins and min­er­als. Your liv­er also works to remove waste and oth­er tox­ins from your body. Main­tain­ing your liv­er func­tion is impor­tant to your over­all health and there are many ways you can keep your liv­er healthy, includ­ing sim­ple diet and lifestyle modifications.

Frac­tures of the toe and metatarsal bones are com­mon and require eval­u­a­tion by a spe­cial­ist. A podi­atric foot and ankle sur­geon should be seen for prop­er diag­no­sis and treat­ment, even if ini­tial treat­ment has been received in an emer­gency room.

When hav­ing radi­a­tion ther­a­py, pre­ci­sion is key. Since tar­get­ing cer­tain cells, and leav­ing oth­ers alone, is of upmost impor­tance; sur­face guid­ed radi­a­tion ther­a­py is often used. Sur­face Guid­ed Radi­a­tion Ther­a­py (SGRT) is a rapid­ly grow­ing tech­nique which uses stereo vision tech­nol­o­gy to track patients’ sur­face in 3D, for both set­up and motion man­age­ment dur­ing radi­a­tion ther­a­py. This tech­nique is also some­times referred to Opti­cal Sur­face Mon­i­tor­ing Sys­tem (OSMS), Align RT, or Vision RT.
