A to Z of men’s style

Thu, Jun 11, 2026

Accessories. They are the key to style and can transform a basic minimalist outfit into a memorable one or elevate a daytime look into a nighttime winner. These essential details act as a powerful tool for self-expression, allowing you to introduce additional colours and trends into your day-to-day wardrobe. A wallet, watch, ring, belt, tie, bag (a weekend backpack, messenger, laptop, or gym one) are all examples of accessories. A well-chosen tie, for example, can inject a pop of colour into a neutral suit or a slick leather messenger bag can make a style statement. Similarly, scarves and hats do not solely ward off winter chills, they add a layer of texture and a splash of colour to your outfit.

Burns go deeper than they look – how HBOT can help with healing

Thu, Jun 04, 2026

As summer arrives, so too does barbecue season and more time spent working and socialising outside. While these moments are part of everyday life across Ireland, especially in farming and agricultural communities, they also bring a higher risk of sunburn and burns from hot surfaces, flames, machinery or chemical exposure.

What many people don’t realise is that burns can be more serious than they first appear. Surrounding the visible injury is an area of tissue called the zone of stasis. Here, blood flow is reduced, inflammation (swelling) develops, and oxygen levels fall. Within hours, this area can worsen, causing the injury to deepen if not carefully managed.

Thu, May 28, 2026

This can present with ongoing pain, non-healing wounds, damage to bone, or bladder and bowel complications following pelvic radiation. DRIs can be distressing, particularly after everything already endured during cancer treatment.
