Articles
Deep dives and practical checklists.
Osteoarthritis: Joint Pain, Causes and Treatment
Osteoarthritis is the most common joint disorder worldwide, caused by the gradual breakdown of cartilage in knees, hips, spine and hands. This guide covers causes, symptoms, diagnosis by X-ray and MRI, and the full treatment spectrum from physiotherapy and injections to joint replacement surgery.
Colorectal Cancer: Risk Factors, Screening and Treatment
Colorectal cancer (bowel cancer) is one of the most common and preventable cancers worldwide. This guide covers how polyps become cancer, who is at highest risk, the critical role of colonoscopy in early detection, staging, and treatment — from laparoscopic surgery to chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy.
Liver Cancer (Hepatocellular Carcinoma): Causes, Diagnosis and Treatment
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver cancer, strongly associated with hepatitis B, hepatitis C and cirrhosis. This guide covers risk factors, AFP blood testing, imaging diagnosis, and treatment options from surgical resection and liver transplantation to ablation, TACE and systemic therapy.
Breast Cancer: Risk Factors, Diagnosis and Treatment
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide. This guide covers who is at risk, how breast cancer is classified, how mammography and biopsy confirm the diagnosis, and the range of treatments — from surgery and radiotherapy to hormone therapy, targeted biologics and immunotherapy.
Lung Cancer: Types, Diagnosis and Treatment
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide overall. This guide covers the two main types — non-small cell and small cell — symptoms, how CT and PET scans are used for diagnosis, staging, and treatment options including surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy.
Atrial Fibrillation: Causes, Risks and Treatment
AF causes an irregular heartbeat and raises stroke risk. Learn about assessment, rate and rhythm control, anticoagulation and questions for a cardiologist.
Coronary Artery Disease: Causes, Diagnosis and Treatment
Coronary artery disease is the world's leading cause of death, caused by cholesterol plaques narrowing the arteries that supply the heart. This guide covers atherosclerosis, risk factors, angina, heart attack, and the treatments available — from medication to bypass surgery.
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): The Silent Killer
WHO estimates that hypertension affected about one-third of adults aged 30–79 worldwide in 2024. It often causes no symptoms for years. This guide covers how blood pressure is classified, what drives it up, and how treatment prevents stroke, heart attack and kidney failure.
Heart Failure: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment
A comprehensive guide to heart failure — why the heart loses its pumping capacity, how congestive heart failure develops, the symptoms to watch for, and the treatment options available at leading cardiac centres.
Brain Aneurysm Without Open Surgery: Endovascular Coiling and Flow Diversion
A cerebral aneurysm no longer always requires open craniotomy. Endovascular treatment reaches intracranial aneurysms through a pinhole femoral access — a catheter threaded to the brain, with coils or a flow-diverter stent placed from inside the vessel. Recovery expectations are set by the treating team for each case.
Gastrointestinal Polyp Day Surgery: How the Endoscopic Removal Pathway Works
Day surgery is a recognised care model for gastrointestinal polyps: admission, endoscopic removal and discharge are organised as one episode rather than spread across several days. Whether it fits a given case, and the schedule, are confirmed by the hospital after it reviews the records.
Diabetes Mellitus: Types, Diagnosis and Complications
An evidence-based overview of diabetes mellitus covering how insulin regulates blood sugar, the differences between type 1 and type 2, how diabetes is diagnosed, and the long-term complications of uncontrolled blood glucose.
