Study shows resistance training or combined with weight-loss diet alone affects the loss of abdominal fat in obese women

Bodyweight loss induced by either diet changes, alone or in combination with exercise (aerobic or resistance training) lead to decreases in total body fat especially abdominal fat. These changes in abdominal fat and in its regional distributions have also been accompanied by significant improvements in different cardiovascular risk factors (for example, high blood pressure and cholesterol).

Chlamydia Infection Rate Trends among Women Attending GUM Clinics

Annual Chlamydia Screening is recommended for all sexually active women. Due to not all women getting tested substantial limitations exist in ascertaining Chlamydia trends. Reported case rates have increased likely due to increased screening and improved test technology.

Results: Over 5 million Chlamydia Tests were reported to American family planning clinics from 2004 to 2008. A majority of tests were conducted among white women. Overall Chlamydia positivity from 2004 to 2008 was 7.0%.

Fungal Nail Infection has a lifetime incidence of up to 90% in patients with psoriasis. In addition to the cosmetic impact, it causes pain and interferes with the activities of daily living in a large proportion of those affected. Fungal Nail Infection treatment can be unsatisfactory and is limited by temporary efficacy or adverse side-effects.

Is it more cost effective for fast partner treatment or referral for Chlamydia Treatment & Gonorrhoea Treatment?

Partner treatment is a longstanding and critical part of public health efforts to control the spread of curable sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). However, relatively few GUM clinics routinely assure that the partners of persons with Chlamydia or Gonorrhoea are treated. The failure to provide STD Treatment to treat infected sex partners is known to be one factor underlying the persistence of high rates of STDs in the UK. Standard partner referral in which STD/STI patients are counselled to refer their partners for examination and treatment is the norm.

Hair loss and male pattern baldness

Hair has been a sign of beauty and a contribution to an individual’s personality since time began. Male Pattern Baldness is a common problem and is common throughout the World which can impact the quality of life or psychological well-being of the patient.

Herpes simplex virus is one of eight human herpes viruses. Herpes occurs worldwide, in both sexes and all age groups. Herpes last forever, once infection has occurred, it cannot be eradicated. Herpes infections may reactivate, spontaneously or with identifiable triggers.Available Herpes Treatment can manage the severity of a Herpes outbreak. Good STD Treatment is an effective way of managing all aspects of sexual health.  

Herpes occurs as two subtypes, HSV1 and HSV2. The term ‘primary infection’ is used to describe infection with either subtype in an individual previously infected with the other subtype is termed ‘non primary, first episode disease’.

Comparing self-collected swabs for the detection of Chlamydia & Gonorrhoea versus clinician collected swabs

Chlamydia Treatment and Gonorrhoea Treatment are highly prevalent curable sexually transmitted infections (STIs) that are associated with significant adverse reproductive health sequelae among men and women. Within the UK, men who have sex with men constitute a group at high risk of catching Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea infections. Both infections can infect the throat area and as such act as an important reservoir for further transmission to genital sites. Infection rates for men who have sex with men for the throat region range from 1% to 2^% for Chlamydia and 3% to 9% for Gonorrhoea. 

Chlamydia trachomatis is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) diagnosed in NHS genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinics in the United Kingdom. The highest rates of Chlamydia Treatment are among 16-19 year old females and 20-24 year old males. Co-infections with other STIs are common. National chlamydia screening programme involves the opportunistic screening of the target group in non-GU settings and further referral of all chlamydia positive patients to GU medicine for a full STI screening.

Genital Chlamydia trachomatis infection is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) diagnosed in NHS GUM clinics within the UK. Untreated chlamydia can cause significant morbidity with nearly 20% of infected women developing pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). We examine a study that aims to assess the prevalence and significance of other STIs (e.g. Gonorrhoea) associated with Chlamydia Treatment.
