Abstract Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common gastrointestinal (GI) disorder affecting millions of people worldwide, characterised by chronic abdominal pain, bloating, constipations, extreme discomforts, and altered bowel habits. Despite being classified as a functional disorder, IBS significantly impacts the quality of life. This paper explores some of the causes of IBS, including medications, chemicals, […]
Abstract Sleep Apnoea is a prevalent, yet underdiagnosed sleep disorder characterised by repeated episodes of breathing cessation or reduction during sleep. This paper provides a thorough exploration of its causes, including anatomical, neurological, environmental, and external factors, both well-known and emerging. It examine Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA), Central Sleep Apnoea (CSA), and Complex Sleep Apnoea Syndrome (CompSAS) while […]
Abstract Pain is a complex physiological and neurological experience that serves as a vital protective mechanism. This paper explores the various types of pain, their origins, and the intricate role of nerve fibres—A-alpha, A-beta, A-delta, and C-fibres—in transmitting pain signals. This paper examines the physiological basis of pain, the role of different nerve fibres in […]
Abstract Infertility is a complex and multifactorial issue that affects millions of individuals worldwide. Contrary to the belief that infertility is a divine act, this condition is primarily caused by human actions, including lifestyle choices, pharmaceutical use, and exposure to environmental toxins. In certain cultural contexts, infertility is even induced through spiritual means, such as […]
