Most of us spend hundreds of hours each month in front of a computer and it can definitely impact our health.

Do you often have lumbar pain? With so many of us doing sedentary work, spending hours in front of a computer in the wrong position and too little physical activity, it's hard to get an answer other than ‘yes’. What could the cause of this pain be? Is sciatica a real threat?
Lifestyle and low physical activity make our joints and muscles much less resistant to injuries. There’s even an increase in the number of younger people who are experiencing problems associated with problems typically associated with the aging process - such as joint pain and degenerative changes. Chondromalacia may be one of the causes of pain.

Gastroscopy - and more specifically esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) - is an endoscopic (i.e. inside the body) examination of the upper gastrointestinal tract, which allows for the assessment of the esophageal mucosa, stomach and proximal duodenal segment, and, if necessary, performing procedures in this area.
Gastric and duodenal peptic ulcers are the cyclical appearance of peptic ulcers in the stomach or duodenum. Peptic ulcer is a defect of the mucosa accompanied by inflammatory infiltration and necrosis. In most cases, the location of the ulcer is the duodenal bulb and stomach, although they can also occur in the lower esophagus and duodenal loop.
Learning basic first aid skills which might save a human life is paramount, and yet often neglected. In unexpected situations, we would give a lot to know how to help a child who is choking, burned, dealing with a nosebleed or loss of consciousness. However, in such cases, the most valuable commodity is time, so it's worth knowing how to behave and how to effectively perform first aid.
