Hair loss is a genetic condition that affects millions of people around the world. About two thirds of all men will begin to suffer some sort of hair loss by the age of 35, and a quarter of men will begin to see hair loss before they reach the ripe old age of 21. Hair loss, while typically considered as male issue, also affects women, as 40% of people who suffer from hair loss symptoms are female. While hair loss,...

Brexit is definitely a gamble. You wonder whether Theresa May is playing on slots like Casingdom  sometimes! More than half of the UK electorate voted to leave the Union and in 2017, Article 50 of the Treaty on the European Union was invoked. The UK has current plans to withdraw from the Union and the final withdrawal is slated to take place on March 29, 2019. After leaving the European Union, PM Teresa May has stated that the UK has...

A scene from Channel 4’s 'SAS Who Dares Wins', which aired last night, showed us exactly how not to react when someone is having a panic attack. SAS Who Dares Wins, for anyone unfamiliar, is a reality show that sees normal men from across the UK take on SAS-style training led by former SAS servicemen. Recruits endure physical and mental challenges that push them to their limits. The scene that troubled me, followed a task where recruits had clambered across...

News of the investigation into the death of the patient waiting to be treated comes as new figures revealed that last week a third of...

Fertility treatment could soon become more effective after scientists developed an 'assault course'... for sperm. It uses an obstacle course to separate the 'men from the boys' - identifying the strongest and fastest swimmers. Appropriately dubbed SPARTAN, after one of the most feared military forces in Ancient Greece, it uses obstacles to select the fastest and healthiest sperm. Already available for use in the clinic, it is hoped it will be helping women to become pregnant with fewer cycles of...

Theresa May was at pains yesterday to insist that a national A&E meltdown and 55 cancelled ops is NOT an NHS crisis. Even though Jeremy Hunt apologised for it, then appeared on TV again, insisting actually it wasn't a crisis as at least it’s not like last winter when loads of operations were cancelled 24 hours before. The Prime Minister and Health Secretary’s insistence that the current debacle across hospitals all over the UK is an unforeseeable consequence of winter...

As the scale of the winter crisis facing the NHS - a crisis the Government was repeatedly warned about - became increasingly apparent today, the Prime Minister and Health Secretary veered from one car crash interview to another. On Wednesday Theresa May flatly denied there was any "crisis", insisting “the NHS has been better prepared for this winter than ever before, we have put extra funding in. ''There are more beds available across the system, we've reduced the number of delayed...

I was once told, ‘eyebrows are meant to be sisters, not twins’. Unfortunately my eyebrows have always been second very distant cousins… I am the first to admit that I am not blessed with the best eyebrows. I have dark, thick hair and they always tend to be pretty stubborn and uneven. Following on from 2016 the ‘Year of the Brow’ eyebrows have become one of the most popular beauty trends and have no intention of fading away. However, I...
