Jamaica Gleaner Profiles in Medicine
published: Wednesday | September 1, 2004

Who's testing your eyes?
Optical shops are popping up all over the place but they don't all have practitioners who are registered and qualified to test your eyes.

Moisturise, moisturise (men too)!
'Washing our bodies with hot water and harsh soaps removes the surface layer of oils on the skin and promotes water loss.'


Food safety
WHETHER IT is after a flood or hurricane or simply protecting your family's health, ensuring that food is of the highest quality should be given priority.


Crime and violence: My solutions
OH, I weep for thee my country. More than 900 Jamaicans murdered. These are the figures for a country at war. The entire society has become unlawful. We are all confused as to what to do.


Kidney failure
IN THE past, I have highlighted the fact that the kidneys are tar get organs for damage from diabetes and hypertension. These conditions can produce gradual and silent loss of renal or kidney function, referred to as chronic renal failure.


Getting rid of 'baby fat' (Part II)
THESE ARE some additional abdominal exercises for the mother of three with the postpartum belly (excess weight in the abdomen long after child birth) as well as men with pot bellies.
