The bladder infection cystitis is so common that it is frequently underestimated, both by those suffering from it and their doctors treating it. But with more bacterial strains becoming resistant to antibiotics, the need for new treatments is getting ever more pressing.

Urinary tract infections are the frontline of the war against bad bacteria. So why has it taken so long to develop new treatments?

Women are twice as likely to develop Dementia than men.

The reasons for this may vary. However, brain scans tell us that the rate at which brain cells die in the brain is faster in women than in men. In addition, research suggests that a hormone found in women, estrogen, is related to their decline. As estrogen protects women's brain cells, when they have more, they may be protected from dementia.

While they've yet to determine a safe way to increase this hormone, there are other ways to protect yourself! We suggest maintaining a healthy diet, staying active, and maintaining healthy blood pressure levels. In addition, staying intellectually stimulated and socially active will help as well.

At Medix as we dedicate this month for women’s health, stay tuned for more such important topics

The science is very clear. There are lots of health benefits to taking a lunchtime nap no matter how busy we think we are. In fact, that’s the main reason to have one.

On this we aim to raise awareness of the importance of our kidneys to our overall health and to reduce the frequency and impact of kidney disease and its associated health problems worldwide.

One should note that high blood pressure (hypertension) and diabetes are the most common causes of kidney disease. The high blood pressure causes just over a quarter of all cases of kidney failure. Diabetes has been established as the cause of around one-third of all cases and is the commonest cause of ESRD in most developed countries.

On this year's International Women's Day, we continue our resolve to build a world that is inclusive, diverse, and equitable. Our society has made steady progress in levelling the playing field for women in the workplace, but gender disparity persists.

So, let us all come together on this special day with one goal and spirit: to and empower more women to take leadership roles.

Doing so, we can create a brighter and more hopeful future for generations to come. It is up to each and every one of us to aspire, to reach out and support more women to break the glass ceiling.

When you receive a bad diagnosis, is there hope?

There was for Mr. Manu Schöngut after being diagnosed with Liposarcoma, a rare form of cancer. After a friend advised him to choose his medical authority wisely, he contacted the Medix team.
We asked the right questions, and after a PET scan, we were thrilled to learn the cancer wasn't spreading. Mr. Manu Schongut underwent surgery and soon returned to normal life.

However, a year and a half later, Mr. Manu Schöngut’s cancer returned—and this time, he was much more concerned and afraid.
We didn't believe it was necessary for Mr. Manu Schöngut to undergo heavy chemotherapy or risky surgery, so we challenged the diagnosis and recommended courses of treatment outlined by his doctors. And we were right!

After recommending another scan, we saw the mass was shrinking as it eventually was not cancer. We were thrilled to have left no stone unturned in pursuit of a clear treatment pathway for Mr. Manu Schöngut—and, as he put it, "saving his life twice."

A lack of clinical biomarkers makes depression - one of the world’s most prevalent illnesses - hard to diagnose. So how can we tell if a simple reaction to a stressful event has become a situation that might need more attention, and what options do we have if it has?

Understanding the difference between conventional sadness and clinical depression, even if mild
