Abdominal aortic aneurysm
An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a swelling in the lower part of the aorta, the main artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Symptoms may not be noticeable initially, but when they do occur, they can include a pulsating feeling in the abdomen, sudden pain in the back or abdomen, or a feeling of fullness. Treatment options vary depending on the size and growth rate of the aneurysm. Small aneurysms may simply be monitored over time, while larger or rapidly growing ones might require surgical intervention, either through open surgery or endovascular repair. To reduce the risk of developing an AAA, it’s advisable to manage risk factors such as high blood pressure, smoking, and high cholesterol. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and routine health check-ups can also contribute to lowering your risk. The causes of an abdominal aortic aneurysm can include a combination of factors, such as age, genetic predisposition, and conditions that weaken the artery wall, including atherosclerosis.

Reflux in babies
Reflux is a condition where a baby regurgitates milk during or shortly after feeding. This is quite common in infants and usually occurs when the contents of the stomach flow back up into the oesophagus. While it can be concerning for parents, most babies outgrow this issue as their digestive systems mature.
