Diabetic retinopathy
Nowadays in the world there are over 150 million people suffering of diabetes and several other millions don’t even know they have it. This is due to the fact that diabetes acts in silence in the beginning and in time, if not treated properly and controlled it can cause serious complications.

Hair fall: causes and control
Hair loss can be experienced nowadays by both men and women and even though science seems to have developed a lot in the last decade, remedies for women hair loss are not that many as we would like.
Specialists say we normally loose in a day up to 100 hairs. Of course the hair regenerates continuously and this is why we don’t get to be bold in one month of loosing hair daily.
The reason why women loose so much hair is mostly due to hormonal imbalances that occur during pregnancy and afterwards, if taking certain birth control pills, and during menopause. Genetics can play an important part into hair fall too. Some people start loosing a lot of hair after the age of 12 and this is a family trait, especially in men. In women high levels of testosterone can lead to‘man like’ alopecia. Even infections of the scalp, like psoriasis, eczemas and mycosis can lead to a massive hair fall. Thyroid affections and diabetes, certain drugs and even stress are responsible too for this unpleasant phenomenon.

Nowadays everybody talks about stress, about its damaging effects upon our minds and bodies, upon our family relationships and upon our sexual life. Stress can not be easily avoided, but most of all, can not be easily detected because it acts in silence.
