1. Ophtalmology
Ophthalmologists treat a wide range of conditions including cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and refractive errors like nearsightedness and farsightedness.
Adults should have a comprehensive eye exam at least once every two years, or more frequently if advised by your eye doctor based on your age, health, and risk factors.
Signs include blurred vision, difficulty seeing objects up close or far away, frequent headaches, eye strain, and squinting.
An eye exam involves tests for visual acuity, assessment of eye muscle function, pupil response, and examination of the retina and optic nerve. It may include dilation to allow a better view of the back of the eye.
Regular eye exams, maintaining a healthy diet rich in antioxidants, protecting your eyes from UV rays with sunglasses, and avoiding smoking can help reduce the risk of eye diseases.
2. SPUTUM GENEXPERT
The Sputum GeneXpert test is a molecular diagnostic test that detects tuberculosis (TB) DNA and drug-resistant strains in sputum samples.
Unlike traditional TB tests, the GeneXpert test provides faster results and can detect drug-resistant strains of TB by analyzing genetic material.
No special preparation is required. Provide a sputum sample, ideally collected in the morning, and follow any specific instructions from your healthcare provider.
Results are usually available within 1 to 2 days after the sample is processed, providing a rapid diagnosis.
The test offers accurate and quick detection of TB and drug-resistant strains, which is crucial for effective treatment and control of TB infections.
3. PSA TOTAL
The PSA Total Test measures the level of prostate-specific antigen in the blood, helping to screen for prostate cancer, monitor existing conditions, and evaluate treatment effectiveness.
Avoid vigorous activities and sexual activity for 48 hours before the test. Inform your doctor about any medications you are taking. No fasting is required.
Elevated PSA levels may suggest prostate inflammation, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or prostate cancer. Further tests may be required for a definitive diagnosis.
Results are typically available within 24 to 48 hours after the blood sample is collected.
Discuss the results with your healthcare provider to determine the next steps, which may include additional tests or a referral to a specialist for further evaluation.
