Mr. San Sunkaraneni, a leading ENT surgeon in Guildford, cautions that the start of the school year brings with it the potential for the spread of infections that could result in tonsillitis. The condition is discussed in a new patient advisory guide published on the Guildford ENT website.

According to the new guide, many students in the United Kingdom will likely be exposed to germs when term starts this fall. As the colder weather sets in and as students will be forced to spend their weekdays in close proximity to their peers, there may be a spike in common colds and other respiratory tract infections. Up to 70% of tonsillitis cases may be attributed to infections such as the common cold and influenza.

According to a clinical evaluation of tonsillitis that was published in BMJ Clinical Evidence, acute tonsillitis is more common in children and affects 10% of the UK population annually. Young people and adolescents are all susceptible to tonsillitis. The team at Guildford ENT confirms that despite being non-contagious, children can develop tonsillitis after catching a cold or sore throat at school.

Many health experts agree that parents should be on the lookout for common cold and flu symptoms to help prevent tonsillitis during this autumn’s return to school. It is important to practice good hygiene and get plenty of rest if someone develops tonsillitis. The majority of people recover relatively quickly from it; however, it can be more severe for others.

The most common symptoms of tonsillitis are sore throat, difficulty swallowing, earache, coughing, and high temperatures. The ENT specialist in Guildford treats all conditions related to the ears, nose, and throat, and specialises in nose and sinus problems.

Regional services are offered for Surrey, London, Sussex, and Hampshire by Mr. San Sunkaraneni, a consultant rhinologist and ENT surgeon who practises at the Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford, United Kingdom. At Cranleigh Village Hospital, he operates a twice-weekly NHS outpatient clinic. Additionally, he gets recommendations from across the UK.

MakatiMed adds Ultherapy Prime to its wellness roster

MakatiMed adds Ultherapy Prime to its wellness roster 

Makati Medical Center’s Skin and Laser Hub is adding Ultherapy Prime to its aesthetic services, the latest evolution of its noninvasive lifting technology, offering patients a personalized approach to skin tightening.  Launched Sept. 10 at the MakatiMed WellnessHub, the new treatment builds on the hospital’s longstanding experience in laser and aesthetic medicine.  The launch brought together members of the medical community and guests, with actress and former Miss World Megan Young and actor, entrepreneur and content creator Mikael Daez introduced as Ultherapy Prime ambassadors.  For Dr. Ma. Lourdes Aragon de Veyra, head of the Skin and Laser Hub, the arrival of Ultherapy Prime represents another step in the development of ultrasound technology, which has been used in medicine for decades.  De Veyra traced ultrasound’s history from its early use in medical imaging to applications that harnessed its biological effects.   “In 2000, they started harnessing the potential of this ultrasound by actually causing it to be micro-focused. With the use of this micro-focused ultrasound, it has been used to actually tighten the skin to create a thermal damage to the skin so that it can cause healing. With healing comes the formation of new collagen tissues and renewal of the cells,” De Veyra said.   The treatment targets the subdermis and SMAS, or superficial muscular aponeurotic system, while delivering energy at targeted depths. She said the technology can reach temperatures of about 60 to 70 degrees without damaging the surface of the skin.   Still themselves While technological advancement is central to Ultherapy Prime, De Veyra said the objective of aesthetic treatment should remain grounded in helping patients look like themselves.  “We’ve talked about the science, the technology, and the precision behind Ultherapy Prime. Ultimately, people want the treatment where they will still look like themselves and not look like somebody else,” she said.   She said responsible aesthetic care should focus on preserving a patient’s individuality rather than creating a dramatically different appearance.  “The goal of responsible doctors is to make our patients feel confident about how they are, how they look. You can probably refine it a little bit, but in the end, our goal is to make our patients flaunt their uniqueness, how they look but with la little twitch. That’s it,” De Veyra said.   Endorses on self care  Celebrity couple Young and Daez brought a personal perspective to the launch as the new ambassadors of Ultherapy Prime.  For Young, beauty has always been closely associated with character and confidence. The former Miss World, who won the title in 2013, said her perspective has remained consistent through the years.   “I guess throughout the years, even when I was younger, beauty comes from within. Once you have that beautiful personality or that beautiful heart, then of course, that shines outward,” Young said.   She said her view of beauty has evolved around maintaining her appearance while keeping her skincare routine manageable.  Daez said he and Young approach self-care as something that encompasses more than physical appearance.  “Megan and I have always had this mindset of taking care of ourselves holistically, so emotionally, physically. It’s also about taking care of the way that we look,” Daez said.   “Part of that is also feeling good and looking as great as you can. So that’s why we’re here,” he added.   The couple also shared how they came to try Ultherapy. Daez admitted that he was the one who initially suggested exploring the treatment.   “I’m also the one always looking out. What are the things that we can do? I mean, working out, running, getting good sleep,” Daez said.    “We came across Ulthera and we decided to ask about it. We felt that it fit what we wanted so we tried it out,” he added.  With Ultherapy Prime now part of its aesthetic offerings, MakatiMed’s Skin and Laser Hub continues to combine medical innovation with patient-centered care, giving patients another option for achieving subtle lifting and tightening without surgery.

Stand out and proud in customized denim

Stand out and proud in customized denim

Customizing a garment or any pre-made item can be as simple as using a waterproof marker to write one’s name or initials on it. It’s a way to stand out from the crowd even if doing so might come across as rebellious, defiant. At the newly opened Levi’s store in Greenbelt 5, customization gives customers a creative way to express themselves. This is instantly apparent  upon entering as the penned-in work area, Levi’s Tailor Shop, is positioned at the middle of the store.  “This flagship store represents a major milestone for the brand as it is the first with this concept in the region, and only the second in Asia after the one in Sapporo, Japan,” said Louella Scott, general manager of Vogue Concepts.  As the distributor’s largest store, it carries many of the denim brand’s styles including the more premium ones.  “We have the ‘Made in Japan’ Blue Tab line as well as Levi’s Vintage Clothing. There are also shrink-to-fit options that conform to the wearer’s body after soaking, ensuring a truly personalized fit,” Scott said. The literal core of the store, however, is the Levi’s Tailor Shop, where customers can have their denim customized to their specifications. A range of patches is available, including site-specific designs such as a jeepney with a Greenbelt Makati signboard, the tree-lined corner of De la Rosa and Legazpi streets, and a scene inspired by one of the city’s Sunday markets. There are other ways to personalize one’s denim at the store including distressing certain portions of the fabric. “We offer embroidery services and even paint some pieces by hand,” Scott said.  The store also has an ace up its denim sleeve in master tailor Tristan Rimorin, who is recognized for his artistry in customization. For him, customizing clothing goes beyond embellishment. “We do a lot of garment resizing such as reshaping a loose-fitting 578 to a slim 511 while preserving the seams and structural balance,” Rimorin said.  He and another tailor focus on tapering and managing waistlines to maintain comfort without altering essential proportions. This approach is especially valuable for clients who want to update well-loved garments for a more modern fit. “Our primary goal is to provide solutions for customers, including those who have owned items for many years but have outgrown them,” Rimorin said. Rimorin also gets to indulge in and show off his creative side with clients who want one-of-a-kind items.  “I’ve fused two denim pieces into one, and combined patches and distressing for a really well-worn pair of jeans. I also worked with a painter on a denim jacket that features a winged angel with the wings made of distressed denim fabric,” Rimorin said.  When he used to place some of the items he had worked with on display, people would come and in and offer to buy them. Rimorin had to tell them that these were already owned by clients who had come to him for customization.  “I add that they can purchase new items at the store and that I can work with them on customizing the pieces for a fee,” he said.
