Thoracic surgery is a medical specialty that treats problems affecting the organs inside the chest — mainly the lungs, esophagus, heart, and diaphragm. These organs are vital for life. For example, the lungs enable us to breathe, while the esophagus allows us to swallow food properly. When any of these organs are affected, serious symptoms such as difficulty breathing and a significant decrease in quality of life can occur.
Thoracic surgeons perform surgical procedures to treat diseases of these organs so that patients can return to a healthy life. While some conditions can be managed with medication, others may require surgery. For instance, lung cancer, severe infections, lung cysts, or trauma to the chest may need surgical intervention. Thoracic surgeons evaluate each patient’s condition and choose the most appropriate treatment method to support their recovery.
Thoracic diseases are generally related to the lungs, respiratory tract, or esophagus. Some of these diseases respond well to medication, but in certain cases, surgical treatment becomes necessary.

Patients with persistently high blood sugar levels are at risk of developing diabetic retinopathy. This condition occurs when the blood vessels in the retina — the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye — become damaged due to high blood sugar levels. It is a vascular disease. It is an important issue that requires attention. The most common symptoms are blurred vision and floaters caused by bleeding. Diagnosis is made through specific tests. The most important of these are optical coherence tomography (OCT) and angiography. The most important treatment method is intraocular drug injection. In more advanced stages, laser treatment and surgery are necessary to prevent the disease from progressing further. Even if there are no symptoms, support from a specialist should be sought according to the stage of the disease, and a regular follow-up process should be initiated.

Pneumonia is a serious lung infection caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. It can be dangerous, especially for older adults and people with chronic conditions — but prevention is possible.
Getting vaccinated is one of the most effective ways to protect yourself. The pneumococcal and annual flu vaccines help lower the risk of pneumonia, and it’s important that people in at-risk groups — as well as their family members and caregivers — stay up to date with these vaccinations.
During flu outbreaks, take extra precautions. Since the flu can lead to pneumonia, try to avoid crowded places, wear a mask, and limit contact with people who are unwell. Finally, maintain good hygiene habits such as washing your hands regularly, as this simple action can significantly reduce the risk of infection.

Plastic surgery as a specialty includes two main areas: reconstructive surgery and aesthetic (cosmetic) surgery. While both aim to support patient well-being, they do so in different ways.
Reconstructive surgery focuses on restoring function and appearance in parts of the body affected by congenital differences, trauma, illness, or medical treatments. The primary goal is to help patients regain comfort, function, and quality of life.
Examples include:
• Repairing cleft lip and palate to support eating and speaking
• Breast reconstruction after mastectomy
• Burn treatments and scar revisions
• Skin grafting after trauma or medical procedures
These procedures may be medically necessary and often support both physical and emotional recovery.
Aesthetic (cosmetic) surgery focuses on enhancing a person’s existing features according to their preferences. These procedures are typically elective and aim to refine appearance in a natural and balanced way.
Common examples include:
• Facelift procedures
• Liposuction and body contouring
• Breast procedures (augmentation, lifting, reduction)
Non-surgical aesthetic options, such as injectables, laser treatments, and some cosmetic dental procedures, may also be used to improve aesthetic outcomes with minimally invasive approaches.
• Reconstructive surgery supports function and structure after injury, illness, or congenital differences.
• Aesthetic surgery focuses on appearance and harmony, based on personal goals.
Both branches are guided by safety, individualized assessment, and professional medical expertise to help patients feel confident and supported in their care journey.

Salicylic acid, a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA), is commonly used to treat oily and acne-prone skin as it can pe*****te deep into the pores to dissolve excess oil and remove dead skin cells. It reduces acne and blackheads, improves skin texture, and reduces inflammation. Salicylic acid is available in toners, serums, cleansers and creams, and is best applied in the evening after cleansing. Those new to salicylic acid should start by using it two to three times a week, gradually increasing the frequency as tolerated. If using in the morning, it is essential to apply sunscreen as it can increase sensitivity to the sun. To avoid dryness or irritation, apply a moisturiser afterwards. Salicylic acid should not be used alongside retinol, AHAs or high-strength vitamin C as these combinations may irritate the skin. Low concentrations are suitable for young users from around the age of 12, while adults can use it to refine pores and improve skin texture. If excessive dryness or peeling occurs, usage should be reduced and a dermatologist consulted.
