Gundimulk Wanambi was forced to leave her home in Yirrkala for dialysis treatment. When Indigenous woman Gundimulk Wanambi's was diagnosed with kidney disease, it was like being given a life sentence. The chronic health problem forced her to live away from her community of Yirrkala, which sits about 700 kilometres east of Darwin on the coast in Arnhem Land and had no dialysis service. "Dialysis is a sickness that [means I will] never return home," she said. The self-described saltwater woman needs regular dialysis treatment. In the Northern Territory, as in other states, the service is mostly accessible in regional centres like Darwin or Alice Springs. But a new partnership between two Aboriginal controlled health organisations means change is afoot. Alice Springs-based Western Desert Dialysis has joined forces with the Miwatj Health Aboriginal Corporation in East Arnhem Land, thousands of kilometres away. The pair have signed a new memorandum of understanding with the shared overarching aim of providing more dialysis services in remote communities. Miwatj Health Aboriginal Corporation's director of regional health reform, Paula Myott, said the organisation wanted to focus on health promotion, prevention, management and treatment of renal issues to stop people ending up on dialysis.

BRISTOL Rugby star Olly Robinson has been treated for concussion at a Multiple Sclerosis centre in Bradley Stoke. The Bristol Rugby flanker attended the West of England MS Therapy Centre on Thursday, February 5 for oxygen treatment which speeds up the healing process of a head injury. Robinson was injured during Bristols game against the Cornish Pirates on Sunday, February 1. Oxygen treatment involves sitting in a pressurised chamber where patients breathe in 100 per cent pure oxygen through a mask. The benefits of the treatment vary from person to person, however it can improve cognitive function, eyesight, pain and inflammation and a variety of other symptoms. Members of the centre believe that oxygen treatment makes their neurological conditions more manageable, which leads to fewer visits to GPs and hospitals. My granddad had Multiple Sclerosis, said Olly Robinson. Hes passed away now, but it would have been a great facility for him to have used. I think its fascinating to see what happens at the Centre. Ive never heard of this place before I came here, however the service is amazing. When I started on Tuesday I was getting headaches and now they have stopped. When I come out of … Continue reading →

Jackson, MS (PRWEB) February 05, 2015 Dr. Roger B. Parkes and Dr. R. Clarke Stewart of Periodontal Associates of Jackson, P.A. honor Gum Disease Awareness Month by offering periodontal evaluations and treatment through the LANAP protocol. As periodontists, Drs. Parkes and Stewart are specialists in gum disease. This serious disease is generally painless in its early stages, which cause many to underestimate the unseen damage it does to gums and bones. Drs. Parkes and Stewart use the cutting-edge treatment known as the LANAP protocol to treat their patients, allowing them to help those with severe gum disease in their Jackson, MS office. However, they recommend that everyone receive periodontal evaluations before pain starts in order to catch gum disease in its early stages and minimize damage. The hardest diseases for patients to catch early are the ones that do not cause discomfort. Yet, as most are aware, not all serious conditions are painful in their early stages. Gum disease causes significant damage to the gums, bone, and teeth before pain receptors start warning patients that a problem exists. Some of the early warning signs are: reddened gums, recession, and bleeding. Unfortunately, these changes occur so gradually that they often seem … Continue reading →

Lafayette, LA (PRWEB) February 06, 2015 During Gum Disease Awareness Month this February, Dr. James M. Finley seeks to educate patients in Lafayette, LA about the devastating effects periodontal disease can have on oral health. It is the most prevalent disease in North America, affecting eight out of every 10 adults. Researchers have recently linked oral bacteria to other serious health issues such as heart disease, diabetes and stroke. The American Academy of Periodontology warns that an individual with gum disease is nearly twice as likely to develop cardiovascular problems. Plaque is a mixture of bacteria and food acid, and it is constantly building up around the base of teeth. When it is not removed, it hardens into tartar below the gum line. Good oral hygiene behaviors such as brushing and flossing twice daily eliminate most of the plaque. Professional dental cleanings and regular exams ensure that no plaque and tartar remain and that the teeth are healthy. Even when an individual at Lafayette, LA practices perfect dental hygiene, other risk factors such as hormone changes, tobacco use or medication may raise the possibility of developing periodontal disease. In these cases, Dr. Finley may recommend more frequent checkups to ensure … Continue reading →
