Complete Hormonal Health & Anti aging Profile
Hormones are chemical messengers that control bodily functions. Body's hormonal levels deplete with age. By measuring a patient's level of hormones, a balanced hormone replacement can be prescribed to restore hormone levels to where they were in the patient's early 30s. In many cases, this can be done naturally with secretogogues, which release the hormones already made by the body.

Foodprint 200+ Test
Food Intolerance Test Non-allergic food hypersensitivity is the medical name for food intolerance, loosely referred to as food hypersensitivity. It is a delayed, negative reaction to a food, beverage, food additive, or compound found in foods, which involves symptoms in one or more body organs and systems, but is not a true allergy. The precise distinction between food intolerance and a food allergy is often missed. A true food allergy requires the presence of IgE antibodies against the food. Food intolerance involves the immune system, mediated by IgG antibodies. Advantages of Foodprint Test Most of the Food Intolerance Tests that are available to detect the intolerance, use ELISA test ( Immu Pro or York Test) to detect IgG antibody responses against the foods. ALCAT test is performed using modified coulter counter, which counts and sizes white blood cells before and after incubation with specially prepared propietary gels that contains the different food items to be tested. Food Print test utilizes state-of the-art Genarrayt(R) Microarray technology to detect food specific IgG antibodies.Genarrayt(R) microarray is produced by printing hundreds of protein spots onto a specially-prepared glass slide each spot measureing only 130 µm across. The advantage of FoodPrint over the other tests are as follows: Works with whole blood, plasma or serum 5 µL sample volume means less invasive sampling Highly miniatured- 1 slide instead of 80 µL plates 64 samples assayed in less than 2 hours so the turn around time is only 3 days Flexible array design allowing for dietary variation High throughput multiplex assay for over 200 food antibodies Comparatively cheape	May-2010

Hemoglobinopathy
Hemoglobinopathy is a group of blood disorders passed down through families (inherited) in which there is abnormal production or structure of the hemoglobin molecule. Common hemoglobinopathies include sickle-cell disease. It is estimated that 7% of worlds population (420 million) are carriers, with 60% of total and 70% pathological being in Africa. Hemoglobinopathies are most common in ethnic populations from Africa, the Mediterranean basin and Southeast Asia. Most significant hemoglobinopathies cause mild to acute anemia, in rare cases hemolytic anemia. In sickle cell disease the red blood cells tend to assume a different shape under anaerobic conditions, leading to organ damage and circulatory problems, while in thalassemia there is ineffective production of red blood cells.

Genetic Counseling
Genetic counseling is provided by a team of health professionals who work together to provide an individual or family with current information and supportive advice or guidance regarding health related problems in growth and development due to genetic condition. This assists families and individuals to understand and adjust to the diagnosis of a genetic condition that they encounter. Genetic counseling provides Information Supportive counseling regarding the diagnosis and risk of a genetic condition in the family Prescribe diagnostic, carrier, predictive and presymptomatic genetic testing where appropriate Management of conditions in some cases	March-2010

Pre Natal Screening

Prenatal screening is carried out to identify the fetus, at risk of being born with an abnormality or any disorder. It allows parents to be fully informed of the potential risk of giving birth to a deformed child and the further consequences. Combined with appropriate prenatal counselling, decision can be made about the continuation of the pregnancy.

Prenatal tests include the following:

A. Routine Biochemical Tests -

B. Routine Ultrasound - This provides information about the normal growth of the fetus, number of the fetuses, if any chromosomal abnormalities, record foetal heartbeat, breathing movements including the expected time of delivery.

C. Biochemical Maternal Serum Screening- These screening tests are capable of detecting fetal abnormalities such as Down's Syndrome, Spina Bifida and many more. The screening includes:

D. Confirmatory Tests- For correct diagnosis, the chromosomes of the fetus must be examined by the follwoing procedures:

E. Genetic Counselling - The interpretation and risk assessment of the prenatal analysis and later the confirmatory diagnosis need to be explained to the parents by a genetic counselor.

Pre-Marital Screening

Pre Marital screening is a comprehensive group of tests for those who are planning to get married. Having a child is one of the most important decisions in a couples’ life, however there are certain situations whereby the couple is likely to have a genetic makeup that would confer their child with a genetic disorder.

Pre Marital screening is made mandatory by the Ministry of Health (MOH), UAE, for the people getting married. The Screening offered by MOH includes the following tests:

Thalassemia
Sickle Cell Anemia
Hepatitis B
Sexually Transmitted Diseases

World AIDS Day on 1st December
The World AIDS Day theme for 2009 is 'Universal Access and Human Rights'. World AIDS Day is important in reminding people that HIV has not gone away, and that there are many things still to be done. Global leaders have pledged to work towards universal access to HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care, recognizing these as fundamental human rights. Valuable progress has been made in increasing access to HIV/AIDS services, yet greater commitment is needed around the world if the goal of universal access is to be achieved. Millions of people continue to be infected with HIV every year. In low- and middle-income countries, less than half of those in need of antiretroviral therapy are receiving it, and too many do not have access to adequate care services.	December-2009
