Advanced minimally invasive procedure restores normal blood flow in rare case of Superior Vena Cava Syndrome(SVCS), ending a four-year health struggle for the young Dubai resident.
The majority of SVCS cases around 60–70% are associated with cancers such as lung cancer or lymphoma, while 30–40% result from long-term use of medical devices like central venous catheters or pacemakers, which can damage vessel walls and lead to narrowing.12
A smaller percentage, around 3–5% are linked to genetic clotting disorders. In very rare cases, the condition has no identifiable underlying cause, as seen in Muhammad Bilal’s case.

Sustainability-driven projects inspired by native Ghaf Woods
August 4th , 2025 : Dubai, UAE: Architecture students from Canadian University Dubai (CUD) have unveiled a series of innovative, sustainability-focused design projects developed in response to the unique environmental and climatic conditions of Dubai. Set within Ghaf Woods, a forest-integrated community that is redefining urban living in the city, each project features a low-rise, multi-use recreation centre that embodies ecological harmony and climate-responsive innovation. The standout designs included a canopy rooted in biomimicry and sustainability, a recharge facility that converts environmental extremes into performance assets, and a pavilion that is embedded harmoniously into the natural landscape.

Anchored in the university’s core pillars of sustainability and innovation, the CUD architecture students were placed in the heart of the living laboratory of Ghaf Woods to nurture their creative mindset and to promote sustainability literacy. Under the mentorship of faculty lead Christine Yogiaman, the designers explored adaptive architecture focused on passive strategies, such as shading, natural ventilation, and thermal mass, to minimise energy consumption in Dubai’s hot climate. The students combined creative exploration with practical environmental strategies, producing designs that not only minimise ecological impact but also enhance the user experience through harmony with the natural world.
Supporting the transition towards sustainable innovation and growth in the region, CUD has launched an MSc in Design Innovation for Circular Economy, focusing on restorative and regenerative design
