American Child Neurology Center of UAE

About American Child Neurology Center of UAE

American Child Neurology Center of UAE (ACNUAE) is the first and only website dedicated to the care and help of pediatric patients who suffer from neurological diseases and their families in the Middle East. We elected to make this dedicated website to the care and help of these children.

We aim to increase the awareness of this specialty that many patients’ families don’t know that it even exists. Therefore, many patients don’t get the specialized care they deserve for their neurological diseases.

We tried to collect a wealth of trusted medical information and resources for patients and their families under the patient education section. We also tried to collect and organize trusted medical information and resources for medical professionals who deal with kids suffering from neurological diseases. Physicians are strongly encouraged to join our mailing list to receive monthly updates in the field of child neurology.

Our Vision

Our vision is to provide an exceptional care to pediatric neurology patients without exception. To help build a solid and up to date online resource, dedicated to child neurology field in an area with limited number of child neurologists and scarce online resources for such specialized field. We strongly believe in team work and in highly specialized care and we aim to expand our online as well as clinical service beyond UAE to include the whole Middle East area.

Our goal to make ACNUAE center the mecca of child neurology in the Middle East and we are committed to build a comprehensive center of excellence in pediatric neurology.

Child Neurology

Many child neurologists undertake additional years of fellowship training in highly specialized areas.

The disorders diagnosed and treated by child neurologists include but not limited to, headaches, cerebral palsy, developmental delay, epilepsy and seizures, metabolic disorders (inborn errors of metabolism), movement disorders, neuromuscular disorders, ADHD, cognitive problems, sleep problems, neurodegenerative disorders, genetic disorders,medical aspects of head injuries and brain tumors, and autism.

Living with Reflux – Raising awareness of Gastro-oesophageal Reflux, Lincolnshire

Living with Reflux is a charity which has been set up by fellow suffers in aid of supporting families with Gastro-oesophageal Reflux (GOR) and Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease (GORD) and other associated conditions. Advised by our Medical Advisory Board (MAB). Along side this we provide support, information and educational recourses for medical professionals at large.

Living with Reflux was first registered with Companies House, as a private company limited by guarantee (non profit organisation) on the 18th February 2008.

On the 9th October 2009 Living with Reflux was further registered with the regulator for charities in England and Wales – The Charities Commission.

Our company aims and objectives are as follows:

• To promote and protect the physical and mental health of sufferers of gastro-oesophageal Reflux (GOR) and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) and their families through the provision of support, education and practical advice and promoting research into causes, treatments and possible cures of GOR and GORD;
• To advance the education of the general public in all areas relating to gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR) and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD).
  

Gastro-oesophageal Reflux (GOR) and Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease (GORD) are different. By definition, GOR is normal, whereas GORD is a disease.

Gasto-oesophageal reflux (GOR) occurs normally in all infants, children and adults during and immediately after meals. GOR refers to the contents of the stomach washing back up from the stomach into the oesophagus. It can wash up to the throat, and even be ejected out of the mouth;

Gasto-oesophageal Reflux (GORD) is present when there are symptoms or signs that are troublesome, or severe, or chronic, or when complications are present.
These symptoms might include:

• Recurrent forceful vomiting
• Vomiting of blood
• Chronic cough
• Chronic irritability
  

Such symptoms might indicate that reflux is severe enough to be causing a complication, such as inflammation of the oesophagus, known as ‘oesophagitis’.

Brisbane Urology Clinic

Women’s health refers to health problems related to female anatomy. Various conditions do exist that are confined to women and some of them may be debilitating. Sometimes women neglect their own health and focus on partner’s and children’s health. Some of the common health problems that are unique in women include menstruation problems, pregnancy complications, child birth complications, post-menopausal conditions and breast cancer. Gestational diabetes is one of the most common conditions occurring during pregnancy.

Certain conditions such as osteoarthritis, obesity and depression are more common in women than men. Conditions related to urinary tract include urinary incontinence and urinary tract infections. Urinary Incontinence, inability to control urination is more common in women than in men. Recurrent urinary tract infections can contribute to incontinence episodes. Women are more prone to urinary tract infection than men because, the female urethra appears to be shorter. Upper tract infections, in particular, are unusually common during pregnancy. Reproductive conditions such as endometriosis and premenstrual dysmorphic disorder (PMDD) are confined to women. Endometriosis is a serious health complication that can lead to infertility.

Regular checkups and screening is important for early detection of cervical, breast, uterine and ovarian cancer.
