Early detection of oral malignancies improves disease specific survival . Even if the oral cavity is accessible to physical examination , most lesions are diagnosed at an advanced stage .

Ear, Nose and Throat health with Dr Chabs
14 days ago
No you are not crazy... well, maybe you are .
Did you know that there are conditions that make you hear sounds that are not there? This is a common psychiatric presentation. However, a number of these cases are misdirected to psychiatry in the community. On the other hand, there is a psychiatric cause of hearing sounds that are not there.
In this case, I am referring to a symptom called tinnitus which is caused by various conditions which may be local to the ear or may be arising from a systemic illness, a case which may cause sounds in both ears. Patients may complain of sounds like hissing, roaring, swishing or clicking type of noise. This sound is only heard by the patient (subjective tinnitus) but in some cases can be heard by the doctor with an instrument called stethoscope (objective tinnitus).
One distinguishing feature from the psychiatric sounds is that psychiatric sounds tend to be organized sounds like music or voices. Remember that tinnitus is a symptom and not a diagnosis. In other words, it is an abnormality that is arising from an underlying disease. Treatment therefore, is targeted towards the underlying cause and in some cases it may not be known and therefore not treatable. In such cases the therapy or treatment is focused on coping mechanisms to better tolerate the sound. Ultimately, remember to see your doctor early to avoid complications.

thats good Japhet. mental health is just like malaria or even a headache.
We need to get past the social ridicule and access the services.
Health is physical, emotion, psychological and economic wellbeing and not just the absence of disease or illness.

Ear, Nose and Throat health with Dr Chabs
20 days ago
Did you know that people with gradual loss of hearing are not aware until until it starts affecting the speech range of sound frequency. However, in the new normal people are presenting with seemingly almost sudden hearing loss. What has changed in the new normal? It's all about the current use of masks. People with gradual hearing loss tend to adapt by reading lips. Now that lips are being covered, they have lost their compensatory mechanism which has unveiled the underlying problem.

A little more information about the AstraZeneca vaccine. Let's get the jab once available. The benefits outweigh the risks.
