medical illustration of Cover images depicting various conditions that lead to heart failure such as Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) or Diastolic heart failure, Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) or Systolic heart failure
medical illustration of Glaucoma affects the iris primarily in angle-closure glaucoma, where the iris bulges forward, physically blocking the eye's drainage angle, causing rapid pressure buildup, redness, pain, and vision loss. In pigmentary glaucoma, pigment flakes off the iris, clogging the drainage system. While open-angle glaucoma doesn't physically alter the iris, severe cases can lead to pupil dilation, potentially affecting iris function.

medical illustration of Obesity treatment and management involves focusing on initial weight loss through lifelong lifestyle changes, including diet (calorie restriction), physical activity, and behavioral therapy. further options include FDA-approved medications (e.g., GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic, Wegovy or semaglutide) and bariatric surgery for significant, long-term, and sustainable weight loss. Track BMI values.
