You probably know at least one person who snores. No matter your spouse, friend, relative or parents, snoring is probably present in your life, but you dismiss it as a trivial problem. People make fun of it and may treat it as insignificant, but snoring could be diagnosed as a major health problem. The human tissue in our trachea and lungs loosen as we age, therefore snoring occurs more frequently and with a greater magnitude (louder) with time. When the problem goes out of control, snorers may sound like loud motorbikes or chainsaws (literally!). So, the sooner you stop snoring, the better!

Called Smartlipo and ProLipo, these procedures use lasers to liquefy fat cells and are much less invasive than the traditional Liposuction procedure. An added benefit is that the laser also tightens skin so you are not left with the sagging that Liposuction alone can cause. SmartLipo has been widely used for several years in Europe, Canada, the UK, Australia, Japan and other countries prior to being approved for use in the US. ProLipo is the latest advancement and is more powerful.

Millions of people with chest pain enter emergency room limbo, spending up to 24 hours waiting for tests to tell if a heart attack really is brewing or if it’s something less dire. But a new computerized heart scan - CT Angiography - may start easing the wait, giving doctors a faster picture of clogged arteries to help determine who can go home - within just four hours - and who needs more care. Currently, an electrocardiogram, or EKG, is used to catch a heart attack in progress, or an artery so unstable that one’s imminent. But at least half the time, early tests are inconclusive and patients are admitted to the hospital for repeat EKGs, blood tests and other checks that can last 24 hours - and eventually rule out a heart attack two-thirds of the time. Patient anxiety aside, the tab for all that testing surpasses US$10 billion annually.
