Breast cancer is a disease characterized by the uncontrolled growth and multiplication of breast cells, forming tumours. It primarily affects women aged 50 and above, though it can occur in younger women and rarely in men.
Brain tumours are abnormal growths of cells in or around the brain. They can be classified as malignant (cancerous) or benign (non-cancerous). Malignant tumours grow rapidly and can spread to other parts of the body, while benign tumours grow slowly and are typically not fatal.
Heart failure, also known as congestive heart failure, occurs when the heart is unable to pump enough blood, leading to symptoms like breathing difficulty, fatigue, and swelling in the abdomen or chest.
Children with epilepsy often experience mental health problems and behavioural changes. These can range from attention issues and anxiety to mood disorders. These issues stem from internal factors, such as brain functioning, and external factors, including reactions from others.
Extreme myopia is a severe refractive error where the cornea becomes elongated, causing light rays to focus in front of the retina instead of on it. Vision is significantly impaired, with objects just away appearing unclear.
Epilepsy is a brain condition causing seizures in children due to irregular electrical activity in the brain. Seizures range from muscle jerks to convulsions, occurring at varying frequencies.
Stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is restricted, leading to brain cell death due to oxygen deprivation. High blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, and heart issues increase stroke risk.
Metastatic cancer occurs when cancer cells spread from the primary tumour to other parts of the body via the bloodstream or lymphatic system. While the development of metastatic cancer can't be controlled, doctors can manage its symptoms.
Coronary arteries are blood vessels that supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle itself. These arteries wrap around the heart like a crown, which is why they are called coronary (meaning "crown") arteries. They play a crucial role in keeping the heart healthy by delivering the nutrients and oxygen it needs to function properly. When these arteries become narrowed or blocked due to cholesterol buildup or other factors, it can lead to heart problems like chest pain (angina) or a heart attack. Keeping the coronary arteries healthy is important for overall heart health and wellbeing.
