We know smoking is injurious to health. It causes severe injury to lungs and increases its vulnerability to different types of infections. One such smoking induced disorder is the major damage in air sacs in lungs, which makes patients suffer from abruptly shortage of breath. This problem is called emphysema and it is one of the diseases counted in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease group, shortly known as COPD.

COPD consists of multiple lung infections and is considered incurable by most physicians. Can timely diagnosis, on the bright side, slow down its progress?

HIV is most certainly still a significant health problem in most of the developed world including Australia. Prostitution, sex tourism and emigration from lesser developed countries presents a risk of infection to the Australian population.

Treatment: The purpose of tuberculosis treatment is not only to cure the infected patient but also to reduce the transmission of the bacteria to normal persons.

Regrettably many individuals in Australia are putting themselves and others at risk through unprotected sex. Any sexual interaction that involves the potential exchange of sexual fluids Carries with it the potential for HIV infection.

Unfortunately many individuals in Australia are still practicing unprotected sex without knowing with certainty the HIV status of the partner. Obviously this leads to potential infection as well as causing considerable anxiety to the individual once they become concerned about the risk that have taken.

"This website is about Vitamin D and MS Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease of the central nervous system (CNS), with an uncertain cause. Colleen Hayes and Donald Achaeson have suggested that insufficient sunlight exposure and chronic viral infections might be unrelated environmental risk factors for MS. These risk factors may act synergistically to enable the pathogenic autoimmune response. The prevalence of MS is highest where environmental supplies of vitamin D are lowest. Sunshine enables the production of vitamin D3 (VD3) in the skin. Epidemiological studies have shown that higher vitamin D blood levels are associated with lower risk, less relapses and a slower progression of multiple sclerosis. Higher vitamin D levels can be achieved in part by increased oral intake of VD3. Optimal health requires serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D levels higher than 20 ng/ml (50 nmol/L) P Lips, 40 ng/ml (100 nmol/L) P Heaney or at least 40 ng/ml (100 nmol/L) R Vieth. "
