Eczema is a chronic inflammatory skin disease marked by intense itching, red rashes , and skin dryness . It affects 20% of the Malaysian population.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), or lupus for short, is a life-long, life-threatening disease that occurs when the body's immune system attacks its own tissues and organs. The reason why this happens is still not fully known. More than 5 million people worldwide battle lupus, of which 90% are females. Exposure to sunlight can trigger SLE in those who are genetically predisposed to it. Lupus may also be triggered by infections and certain drugs . Unfortunately, lupus often goes unrecognized because its primary symptoms ( joint pain, fatigue, skin rashes and fever ) mimic many common illnesses.

Presently, the conventional medicines do not provide any known cure for lupus. The goal of treatment is only to control the symptoms. The medications used to control lupus depend on the sev...

The brain's functions depend on a constant blood supply to bring the oxygen and nutrients needed by its cells. A stroke happens when there's a restriction or stoppage of this supply, which leads to damage/deat...
