    Dubai:(Press Release) A 68-year-old Egyptian expat Mr. Nabil Kamal Masamir successfully underwent a complex and rare cardiac surgery at Zulekha Hospital – Dubai. Mr. Masamir was suffering from chest pain for over three months following the coronary angiography with insertion of one stent. The chest pain was causing a hindrance in carrying out simple day to day activities, and the pain would show-up even during rest. According to Dr. Yasser Menaissy – Consultant Cardiac Surgeon at Zulekha Hospital Dubai, Mr. Masamir’s heart contractility which was normal just three months ago, had decreased to 38%.

    Dr. Menaissy said that Mr. Masamir’s case was a rare complication resulting from coronary angiography, and the only option was conducting surgery. He had two huge coronary artery aneurysms in the Left main and circumflex arteries. The possible complications of those two huge aneurysms are rupture or thrombosis and myocardial infarction. Dr. Menaissy says that it is an extremely rare complication accounting for less than 0.1 % of all coronary angiography cases.

    Dr. Menaissy along with his expert clinical team and nursing staff conducted a remarkable coronary bypass surgery for three heart vessels to control the patient’s two huge coronary artery aneurysms. The surgery went on for six hours.Dr. Menaissy confirmed that the surgery was successful, and Mr. Masamir is doing well. He was discharged 6 days after the surgery and made a full recovery in 3 weeks. Mr. Masamir is back to his normal activities, including a 2-kilometer walk without any discomfort or complaints.

    This Mother’s Day, let Moorfields Eye Hospital Dubai help your children see you more clearly

    Regular tests ensure your child is well equipped to learn successfully(Doctor Darkhshanda Khurram)

    Dubai:(Press Release)vision problems can affect physical, cognitive and social progress of a child and early detection of vision problems and management is crucial in ensuring your child reaches their potential by developing the vision needed for them to learn said by Dr. Darkhshanda Khurram, Consultant Paediatric Ophthalmologist and Strabismologist at Moorfields Eye Hospital Dubai.
    Dr Khurram recommends to mothers that the first eye evaluation should be the ‘red reflex test’ at birth. This is carried out by a post-natal health professional before the baby is discharged from the hospital.  This test looks for congenital issues with the structure of the eye, congenital cataracts, very high refractive errors or retinal lesions.
    Mothers are intuitive and if they come across any irregularities in their child’s vision, an eye examination is important especially at the age of six months to assess if their eyes are focusing and following adequately and rule out any squints/misalignment of the eyes or any eye disease. If there is a family history of high glasses prescriptions, squints, lazy eyes or congenital eye disease, then monitor the child annually.The most ideal age for a checkup is between 3 and 4 years of age when a child is old enough to achieve good subjective responses and can accurately name pictures. It is also young enough that if any visual issues are found they can be treated within the sensitive period of your child’s visual development.
    Signs of vision problems include poor focusing, visual tracking, constant eye rubbing, light sensitivity, misaligned eyes, persistently red eyes, watery eyes and white pupillary reflex.Other signs to look out for in older children include squeezing eyes, difficulty reading/slow reading, misaligned eyes (this could be constant or intermittently seen), short attention span, behavioral issues, holding books/ipads close to their face, sitting close to the TV or unable to see objects in distance or white board in school.
    Dr Khurram reiterates to mums that regular tests ensure your child is well equipped to learn successfully. These tests are advised before they start schooling as most school activities are vision based and uncorrected vision problems can lead to reduced class participation and can negatively affect your child’s educational performance.From adult to paediatric, simple to complex treatments, Moorfields Eye Hospital Dubai offers a comprehensive range of eye care services provided by specialist teams of Consultant Ophthalmologists, Optometrists and Orthoptists, all under one roof in a state-of-the-art facility.

  • COVID-19 has affected the society’s different facets,

    COVID-19 has affected the society’s different facets,

    COVID-19 and working from Home by Dr. Muhammad S. Tahir

    Now with the introduction of the vaccine a ray of hope and some relief will help people to continue those learned behaviors with hope for normalization to the pre-COVID times soon.

     Dr. Muhammad S. Tahir, M.D. (USA)Child, Adolescent & Adult Psychiatrist

    (Dubai- United Arab Emirates) Since the Early news of COVID-19 in the beginning of January 2020 started appearing and gradually set the stage to change for lifestyle. Early months no body was aware of the impact it will make in the long run. However unknown fear and limited research resulted in different hypothesis and hence suggestions to protect the society.  Among social distancing, frequent hand washing, sanitization campaigns, use of mask, checking temperature and many more efforts unfolded and led to completely change the norm of the society.

    “As the life goes on with these changes and working from home preferences over going to the workplace for obvious reasons has created different challenges. Human, being a gregarious in nature, socialization is not an option instead is necessity to stay happy and healthy. Working from home deprived people of the unrecognized therapeutic effect of mingling, sharing and socializing in different scenarios. Thing are given may be taken as granted and unless we lose that opportunity/object it is hard to appreciate the existence and benefit of the same” said Dr. Muhammad S. Tahir child, adolescent & adult psychiatrist at Al Zahra Hospital Dubai.

    Dr. Tahir added “No doubt fear of pandemic spread swept with great concern and measures taken were necessary. It has affected the society’s different facets, like even the meeting style, staying away, not shacking hands, covering face with mask, frequent cleanliness habits created mixed feeling among the different members of society.  Is he/she ok? should I remove the mask? or can we sit closer? because I know this person. No! I do not know because the symptoms are suttle and you never know that person may be exposed somehow, may be a carrier without symptoms. These confusions created and exposed different nature, personality, behaviors and fears”.Now after many months of these practices mental health professional are noticing the effect of these changes in the form of increased stress related issues, anxiety related conditions, some having increase in the mild symptoms of obsessions about cleanliness so and so forth..Advice from the professionals about healthy eating habits, appropriate sleep hygiene, exercise, staying in touch with near and dear ones via the social media, telephone and other sources is utmost important. Family time has increased which is a protective factor. However, living alone can pose even higher level of stressful situation which needs to be addressed individually with positive thinking and adapting to the needs of new environment. Spending time in positive activities and doing something creative which one might have wanted but could not get a time to do that.(End)
