Rare genetic condition leaves them constantly hungry, no matter how much they eat

SINGAPORE - Growing teens have voracious appetites, but Teo Zi Yee, 17, and David Lucas Soo, 13, feel starved constantly and cannot be left unattended with food. They have Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) - a rare neurodevelopmental and genetic condition where the «switch» in the brain that signals fullness never gets flipped on. PWS occurs when part of the genetic material inherited from the father is missing or does not function. The inability to feel full, causing uncontrollable hunger and overeating, is a hallmark of the syndrome. Eating often and in large portions leads to quick weight gain, and that leads to morbid obesity, said Associate Professor Angeline Lai, a senior consultant with the Genetics Service at KK Women's and Children's Hospital (KKH). Complications associated with morbid obesity include obstructive sleep apnoea, diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol. «The severity of obesity depends partly on how strictly their food intake is controlled. Often, parents have to lock the kitchen or the pantry cupboard to prevent their children with PWS from excessive eating,» Prof Lai said.

MOH revokes licence of Bishan clinic over medicine prescriptions, 2 doctors referred to HSA, SMC for investigation

The Ministry of Health (MOH) has revoked the licence of a clinic in Bishan from Jan 24 for failing to control its medication prescriptions to patients on numerous occasions. The clinic, located at 512 Bishan Street 12, will not be able to provide its service at its premises, respond to house calls or conduct teleconsultation services, the ministry said in a statement on Jan 25. According to MOH, Prudence Family Clinic was found to have violated the conditions of its licence under the Healthcare Services Act 2020 (HCSA). The breaches were in relation to the prescription and supply of codeine cough preparations, benzodiazepines and other hypnotics. These included the clinic's failure to ensure that doctors avoid prescribing two or more benzodiazepines and other hypnotics to their patient at the same time. They also failed to ensure their doctors referred patients to specialists for further treatment after they had been prescribed benzodiazepines and other hypnotics beyond the eight-week cumulative period.
