What is (are) atelosteogenesis type 1 ? | Atelosteogenesis type 1 is a disorder that affects the development of bones throughout the body. Affected individuals are born with inward- and upward-turning feet (clubfeet) and dislocations of the hips, knees, and elbows. Bones in the spine, rib cage, pelvis, and limbs may be underdeveloped or in some cases absent. As a result of the limb bone abnormalities, individuals with this condition have very short arms and legs. Characteristic facial features include a prominent forehead, wide-set eyes (hypertelorism), an upturned nose with a grooved tip, and a very small lower jaw and chin (micrognathia). Affected individuals may also have an opening in the roof of the mouth (a cleft palate). Males with this condition can have undescended testes. Individuals with atelosteogenesis type 1 typically have an underdeveloped rib cage that affects the development and functioning of the lungs. As a result, affected individuals are usually stillborn or die shortly after birth from respiratory failure. |
:) hey i got a question .. so yeah i had a root canal on one tooth and being lazy i forgot to get the permanent filling and as time passed my tooth fell out .. so my question is .. Can i still get infection there even if i had a root canal and forgot to get the filling and my tooth fell out ?? | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The chances of root canal treated tooth getting infected is very less unless it is not properly treated. The fell out tooth structure could be only the crown portion. The Root canal treated tooth becomes weak after RCT, so it has to be crowned immediately. Now the roots might be remaining with in the bone. Consult an oral physician and get a radiograph to rule out the presence of root piece. If root is there then get it removed. I hope my answer will help you, take care. |
How many people are affected by Urinary Tract Infections in Children ? | Urinary tract infections affect about 3 percent of children in the United States every year. UTIs account for more than 1 million visits to pediatricians offices every year.1 |
hi thereI am 30 years old and a month ago i noticed my left breast increasing in size, it felt heavy and achey, any how i went for a mammo and no lump was found only fibrograndular architecture of the breast was found, to date my left breast has grown more and i am now finding it hard to tuck it into my bra it just overflows i have had 3 children and a subtotal hysterectomy, the size does not increase or decrease during the month it just gets bigger.my aunt on my moms side has had breast cancer on both breast years apart, my other aunt had cancer and my grandfather also had testicalur cancer. my breast also pops up with bruises for no reason at all | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. If mammogram is clear and no evidence of lump than no need to worry much about breast cancer. Breast enlargement can be seen in hormonal imbalance or due to Chat Doctor. So better to consult gynecologist and get done hormonal study. If any abnormality is there, start its correction. I advise you to get done regular mammography annually to detect early breast cancer if at all developing as you had family history of breast cancer. But at present no need to worry about breast cancer. |
What are the symptoms of Spinocerebellar ataxia 15 ? | What are the signs and symptoms of Spinocerebellar ataxia 15? Spinocerebellar ataxia 15 (SCA15) is characterized by slowly progressive gait and limb ataxia, often in combination with ataxic dysarthria, titubation, upper limb postural tremor (which occurs when a person tries to maintain a position against gravity, such as holding the arms outstretched), mild hyperreflexia (exaggerated reflexes), gaze-evoked nystagmus, and impaired vestibulo-ocular reflex gain (an inability to stabilize the eyes during small head tremors, which makes it difficult to read, etc.). Mild dysphagia and movement-induced oscillopsia (a bouncing and blurring of vision) have been observed in some patients. Symptoms typically present between the ages of 7 and 66 years. Gait ataxia and tremor are often the first noticeable symptoms. The ability to walk independently may be maintained for many years (or even decades) following onset of symptoms. The Human Phenotype Ontology provides the following list of signs and symptoms for Spinocerebellar ataxia 15. If the information is available, the table below includes how often the symptom is seen in people with this condition. You can use the MedlinePlus Medical Dictionary to look up the definitions for these medical terms. Signs and Symptoms Approximate number of patients (when available) Adult onset - Autosomal dominant inheritance - Cerebellar atrophy - Dysarthria - Dysmetric saccades - Gait ataxia - Gaze-evoked horizontal nystagmus - Hyperreflexia - Impaired smooth pursuit - Juvenile onset - Limb ataxia - Postural tremor - Scanning speech - Slow progression - Truncal ataxia - The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) has collected information on how often a sign or symptom occurs in a condition. Much of this information comes from Orphanet, a European rare disease database. The frequency of a sign or symptom is usually listed as a rough estimate of the percentage of patients who have that feature. The frequency may also be listed as a fraction. The first number of the fraction is how many people had the symptom, and the second number is the total number of people who were examined in one study. For example, a frequency of 25/25 means that in a study of 25 people all patients were found to have that symptom. Because these frequencies are based on a specific study, the fractions may be different if another group of patients are examined. Sometimes, no information on frequency is available. In these cases, the sign or symptom may be rare or common. |
Doctor, all of a sudden you're losing your grip on one side of your face, and you can't close one side of your eyes, and it's hard to eat properly. | Your symptoms suggest that you're suspecting a bell paralysis. To confirm the diagnosis, you need to eliminate another condition by testing X-ray computer scans, X-ray computer scans, EKG scans, kidney function tests, electrolytes, heart enzymes, and magnetic resonance imaging imaging (MRI). |
Doctor, I need some tests on my arm. | God, in the case of a press injury, you must perform a normal X-ray to diagnose fracture or defibrillation. You may also need to use splints to fix the wound and repair the wound. If you have an open wound, you may need to perform a suture or incision or drain procedure. Finally, you may need to do a prothrombin test to check blood clotting. |
How many people are affected by FOXG1 syndrome ? | FOXG1 syndrome appears to be rare. At least 30 affected individuals have been described in the medical literature. |
What are the genetic changes related to Wilson disease ? | Wilson disease is caused by mutations in the ATP7B gene. This gene provides instructions for making a protein called copper-transporting ATPase 2, which plays a role in the transport of copper from the liver to other parts of the body. Copper is necessary for many cellular functions, but it is toxic when present in excessive amounts. The copper-transporting ATPase 2 protein is particularly important for the elimination of excess copper from the body. Mutations in the ATP7B gene prevent the transport protein from functioning properly. With a shortage of functional protein, excess copper is not removed from the body. As a result, copper accumulates to toxic levels that can damage tissues and organs, particularly the liver and brain. Research indicates that a normal variation in the PRNP gene may modify the course of Wilson disease. The PRNP gene provides instructions for making prion protein, which is active in the brain and other tissues and appears to be involved in transporting copper. Studies have focused on the effects of a PRNP gene variation that affects position 129 of the prion protein. At this position, people can have either the protein building block (amino acid) methionine or the amino acid valine. Among people who have mutations in the ATP7B gene, it appears that having methionine instead of valine at position 129 of the prion protein is associated with delayed onset of symptoms and an increased occurrence of neurological symptoms, particularly tremors. Larger studies are needed, however, before the effects of this PRNP gene variation on Wilson disease can be established. |
lately the right side of my neck has been hurting in the mornings and sometimes at the end of the day. The pain runs from my shoulder all the way up to the back of my head and sometimes into my forehead behind my eyes and into my nose. I just came off a round of antibiotics (about 2 weeks now) for a bacterial infection in my intestines. The pain in my neck usually subsides after I have gotten up and started moving around. I have a scratchy throat and seem to have some post nasal drip. | Hi. With the flu symptoms you might have a sinusitis (frontal) that causes headache in the forehead and behind eyes. General muscle aches can accompany this, and possibly not sleeping well can cause the neck pain. You need to have the post-nasal treated with appropriate antibiotics, and get a decongestant as well. Do add a probiotic to avoid upsetting your intestines again. |
Hi ...I am 4 week pregnant,my doctor has prescribed me duphaston 10 mg, Macfolate, doxinate, Ecosprin 75 and zincovit. I had 2 abortion history in last 2 year in 7th week of pregnancy.as there was no cardio activity in fetus. Please let me know is these all medicine is safe in early pregnancy as per my pregnancy history. | Hi dear, I have understood your concern and I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.First do not panic about the medicines. Yes, these medications are safe for use in pregnancy. Tab. Dominate, is commonly used as anti-emetic and anti nausea tic. Macfolate and Zirconia are multi vitamins and multi mineral supplement. Duphastone is a progesterone hormone tablet. It is helpful for support and growth of early pregnancy. Aspirin is mainly used in low dose as medicine to prevent clogging of blood vessels due to platelet aggregation. This helps to maintain the blood supply from mother to baby. In some patients, there is formation of antibodies that promote platelet aggregation, leading to blocking of blood supply to the developing pregnancy. Please have full trust in your treating doctor. Follow up regularly and also take medication as suggested. May God bless you with the bundle of joy. I hope this answer helps you. Thanks. |

What causes Parkinson's Disease ? | Parkinson's disease occurs when nerve cells, or neurons, in an area of the brain that controls movement die or become impaired. Normally, these neurons produce an important brain chemical known as dopamine, but once the neurons become impaired, they produce less dopamine and eventually die. It is this shortage of dopamine that causes the movement problems of people with Parkinson's. |
Hi doctor, I'm experiencing some pain in my arms and shoulders and a constant fatigue in my arm. | Yes, I recommend Gabapentin, or Lyrica, which is helpful for the nerves in the case of thoracic epidemiology, which can help reduce inflammation. |
What is (are) retroperitoneal fibrosis ? | Retroperitoneal fibrosis is a disorder in which inflammation and extensive scar tissue (fibrosis) occur in the back of the abdominal cavity, behind (retro-) the membrane that surrounds the organs of the digestive system (the peritoneum). This area is known as the retroperitoneal space. Retroperitoneal fibrosis can occur at any age but appears most frequently between the ages of 40 and 60. The inflamed tissue characteristic of retroperitoneal fibrosis typically causes gradually increasing pain in the lower abdomen, back, or side. Other symptoms arise from blockage of blood flow to and from various parts of the lower body, due to the development of scar tissue around blood vessels. The fibrosis usually develops first around the aorta, which is the large blood vessel that distributes blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Additional blood vessels including the inferior vena cava, which returns blood from the lower part of the body to the heart, may also be involved. Obstruction of blood flow to and from the legs can result in pain, changes in color, and swelling in these limbs. Impairment of blood flow in the intestines may lead to death (necrosis) of intestinal tissue, severe pain, and excessive bleeding (hemorrhage). In men, reduced blood flow back toward the heart (venous flow) may cause swelling of the scrotum. Because the kidneys are located in the retroperitoneal space, retroperitoneal fibrosis may result in blockage of the ureters, which are tubes that carry urine from each kidney to the bladder. Such blockages can lead to decreased or absent urine flow and kidney failure. When the kidneys fail, toxic substances build up in the blood and tissues, leading to nausea, vomiting, weight loss, itching, a low number of red blood cells (anemia), and changes in brain function. |
Of course. I will share the labs and info I have. My thyroid was the first thing I requested to have looked at when I saw my PCP. Initially, I was diagnosed after I had my first child in 2008 and my thyroid was overactive and I had thyroid antibodies that were really high. (I was put on medication.) After seeing an endocrinologist, he essentially said that I had both issues and it was rare but not unheard of. During my second pregnancy, my levels stabilized and remained stable until a couple years back when they were slightly low, but after an adjustment to some medications I was on (seroquel for sleep) they went back to stable so I wasnt medicated. The one thing that has remained high is the antibody levels. For now, my PCP has monitored them.Here is a link to the labsI added the historical and current thyroid labs, as well as the most recent labs that have been run, and a few imaging reports. If you want to see anything else, or if I didnt quite fit something on a page as well as I think I did, just let me know.Sorry it took me a while to get that up, I appreciate you taking the time to look over it. | Well, I doubt it's related to the thyroid. Your free T4 is normal, and it's free T4 that causes the symptoms of hyper or hypothyroidism. |
My friend was receiving chemo during stage 4 of breast cancer. Living with her son, they were instructed to not get pregnant. His wife found out that she was already pregnant. His mother died 6 wks before their baby was born. Living in denial, they had him tested 4 months ago & he is 3 yrs old with autism. Is this a direct result of living with a chemo patient during pregnancy? | The exact cause of autism is not known, but research has pointed to several factors: genetics (heredity); metabolic or neurological factors, certain types of infections, and problems occurring at birth. In your child, environmental factors may also play a role. Studies of scientists have found abnormalities in several regions of the brain, which suggest that autism results from a disruption of early brain development while still developing in the mothers' womb. Other autism theories suggest:- immune theory -antibodies that attack the brains, causing autism.- abnormalities in brain structures cause autistic behave- abnormal timing of the growth of their brains. I want to propose you 1 thing-check his blood for It B6,B12, Folic acid, homocystein. I had positive results with treatment child Chat Doctor. |
How to diagnose Gum (Periodontal) Disease ? | The dentist will ask about your medical history to identify any conditions or risk factors such as smoking that may contribute to gum disease. The dentist or hygienist will also - examine your gums and note any signs of inflammation. - use a tiny ruler called a 'probe' to check for and measure any periodontal pockets. In a healthy mouth, the depth of these pockets is usually between 1 and 3 millimeters. - take an x-ray to see whether there is any bone loss. examine your gums and note any signs of inflammation. use a tiny ruler called a 'probe' to check for and measure any periodontal pockets.

Do you have information about Anabolic Steroids | Summary : Anabolic steroids are man-made substances related to male sex hormones. Doctors use anabolic steroids to treat some hormone problems in men, delayed puberty, and muscle loss from some diseases. Bodybuilders and athletes often use anabolic steroids to build muscles and improve athletic performance. Using them this way is not legal or safe. Abuse of anabolic steroids has been linked with many health problems. They include - Acne - Breast growth and shrinking of testicles in men - Voice deepening and growth of facial hair in women - High blood pressure - Heart problems, including heart attack - Liver disease, including cancer - Kidney damage - Aggressive behavior NIH: National Institute on Drug Abuse |
Hi doctor, good evening. My mother (92yrs) has this artritis-like 2 lumps (5mm high each) on first joint of her right middle finger, pain on touch. What are the precautions, what to take, or rub, to relief the pain, and therapy? Is voltaren gel advisable or can you please suggest anything else I can do or give her? Do voltaren gel and oral type can cause the same side effects and adverse reactions? Thank you Christina | Hi, Thank you for providing the brief history of you mom. A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised. As she is 92, I will advise to undergo physical therapy, as by the use of therapeutic ultrasound therapy the inflammation will be reduced. Since due to arthritis the joints get swollen, also with little of strengthening exercises like pressing the ball should help her. In my clinical practice I see geriatrics and 99% of times, physical therapy helps them to be functionally active and avoid much of the pain and aches due to systemic illness.

I have a bump on my lower jaw line between my gum and lip...whole right side of my face hurts and I have tooth sensitivity in one tooth near the lump and the upper gums hurt as well. been to dentist who took xrays and said he saw nothing but still referred me to an endontic specialist for further eval..I can feel the lump with my finger and it hurts...feels squishy too | Hiiiwhat you are saying sounds like a carious tooth which is associated to abscess. The lesion is known as periapical abscess it is complication of carious tooth. It requires root canal treatment of the affected tooth....it is advised that you consult a dentist or endodontist-to be precise-for the needful it could also be muscle, it is mainly due to trauma to the ducts of accessory salivary glands present at lower lips.....it is bluish in color & would be soft when you press it (palpation)....does this lump disappear automatically after meals....f yes then it's definitely muscle. Consult dentist for physical examination of the lesion & for needful treatment. |
What to do for Hyperthyroidism ? | Experts recommend that people eat a balanced diet to obtain most nutrients. More information about diet and nutrition is provided by the National Agricultural Library at www.nutrition.gov.
Dietary Supplements
Iodine is an essential mineral for the thyroid. However, people with autoimmune thyroid disease may be sensitive to harmful side effects from iodine. Taking iodine drops or eating foods containing large amounts of iodinesuch as seaweed, dulse, or kelpmay cause or worsen hyperthyroidism. More information about iodine is provided by the National Library of Medicine in the fact sheet, Iodine in diet, available at www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus.
Women need more iodine when they are pregnantabout 250 micrograms a daybecause the baby gets iodine from the mothers diet. In the United States, about 7 percent of pregnant women may not get enough iodine in their diet or through prenatal vitamins.6 Choosing iodized saltsalt supplemented with iodineover plain salt and prenatal vitamins containing iodine will ensure this need is met.
To help ensure coordinated and safe care, people should discuss their use of dietary supplements, such as iodine, with their health care provider. Tips for talking with health care providers are available through the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health. |

What is (are) Blepharophimosis, ptosis, and epicanthus inversus syndrome type 1 ? | Blepharophimosis, ptosis and epicanthus inversus syndrome type 1 (BPES I) is a condition, present at birth, that mainly effects the development of the eyelids. People with this condition have narrowing of the eye opening (blepharophimosis), droopy eyelids (ptosis), an upward fold of the skin of the lower eyelid near the inner corner of the eye (epicanthus inversus), and an increased distance between the inner corners of the eyes (telecanthus). Because of these eyelid malformations, the eyelids cannot open fully, and vision may be limited. Blepharophimosis syndrome type 1 also causes premature ovarian failure (POF). This condition is caused by mutations in the FOXL2 gene and is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. |
Is Usher syndrome, type 1C inherited ? | How is Usher syndrome inherited? Usher syndrome is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. This means that a person must have a change (mutation) in both copies of the disease-causing gene in each cell to have Usher syndrome. One mutated copy is typically inherited from each parent, who are each referred to as a carrier. Carriers of an autosomal recessive condition usually do not have any signs or symptoms. When two carriers of an autosomal recessive condition have children, each child has a 25% (1 in 4) chance to have the condition, a 50% (1 in 2) chance to be an unaffected carrier like each parent, and a 25% chance to not be a carrier and not be affected. |
Sir, I'm having frequent chest pains and trouble breathing, and I think I'm having a congenital heart defect. | We recommend a series of tests to determine the underlying cause of the symptoms: radiation, such as chest X-rays; EKGs to measure the electrical activity of the heart; ultrasound or ultrasound to better understand the structure and function of the heart; and other diagnostic procedures such as interviews, evaluations and counseling; and other diagnostic procedures, such as cardiac stress tests, to measure the ability of the heart to handle the problem. |

I had a lumpectomy 13 years ago then after a reoccurance a mastectomy 18 months ago. I have recently been losing weight (2 stone gone of a total of 5 stone needed) i have recently noticed a dimple close to my armpit on my remaining breast and 95% of my brain accepts this is a stretch mark more visable due to the weight loss but do i need to get it checked. Dont like wasting doctors and hospital time when really i think it is nothing but a little doubt remains | Since you are having a history of breast cancer and is losing weight I would advise you to do a bilateral mammography test to see if there is a recurrence. But I think you do not need to worry, and it is more of a stretch mark. Regards Chat Doctor. |

What is (are) Chromosome 14q deletion ? | Chromosome 14q deletion is a chromosome abnormality that occurs when there is a missing (deleted) copy of genetic material on the long arm (q) of chromosome 14. The severity of the condition and the signs and symptoms depend on the size and location of the deletion and which genes are involved. Features that often occur in people with chromosome 14q deletion include developmental delay, intellectual disability, behavioral problems and distinctive facial features. Chromosome testing of both parents can provide more information on whether or not the deletion was inherited. In most cases, parents do not have any chromosomal anomaly. However, sometimes one parent is found to have a balanced translocation, where a piece of a chromosome has broken off and attached to another one with no gain or loss of genetic material. The balanced translocation normally does not cause any signs or symptoms, but it increases the risk for having an affected child with a chromosomal anomaly like a deletion. Treatment is based on the signs and symptoms present in each person. This page is meant to provide general information about 14q deletions. You can contact GARD if you have questions about a specific deletion on chromosome 14. To learn more about chromosomal anomalies please visit our GARD webpage on FAQs about Chromosome Disorders. |
My husbands diagnosis. Please help. I posted a few months ago about this and you were all so helpful.Pt: 41 y\/o male, former marine, non smoker, very occasional drinker, 170 lbs 60.My husbands official diagnosis is Metastatic renal cell carcinoma, which spread to his lungs. They went in and took the tumor off the kidney (he has horseshoe kidney so he only technically has one) and he was very optimistic about getting it all from that area. Said his body encapsulated the tumor and they didnt see anything else on his kidney. They said there were nodes in his lungs, but that they werent treating and just want to keep an eye on until mid December, then talk about what to do if they grow. The problem is, he is weak and is having trouble breathing.No chemo, no radiation, no immunotherapy yet or maybe at all. Is this normal?His lymph nodes have been so swollen I can see them under his collar bone, and in his neck. Im worried. Is metastatic a automatic stage 4 diagnosis?Is his prognosis good? His oncologist and doctor seem to think so, but they wont really speak on anything early on. They said we would meet in December and talk more then. What do I do now?My husband isnt able to work, and is taking time off from getting his degree. He can barely walk around without being winded. I have picked up extra shifts at work, so I dont get to see him and how hes doing. I just want to know if I should trust what they are telling us, or ask for them to check him again since hes so weak. Help? Im losing my mind.Thank you. I appreciate you all so very much. | Dont wait, call the oncology office now and let them know these concerns, they may need to start other treatments sooner.See a palliative care doctor ASAP. They are experts in cancer pain. Some cancer treatment centers also have anesthesiologists or rehab doctors who are experts in cancer pain.Oncologists are experts in the extreme complexities of treating cancers. There is a lot more to having cancer, and it's best to have an interdisciplinary team. |
What are the genetic changes related to chylomicron retention disease ? | Mutations in the SAR1B gene cause chylomicron retention disease. The SAR1B gene provides instructions for making a protein that is involved in transporting chylomicrons within enterocytes, which are cells that line the intestine and absorb nutrients. SAR1B gene mutations impair the release of chylomicrons into the bloodstream. A lack of chylomicrons in the blood prevents dietary fats and fat-soluble vitamins from being used by the body, leading to the nutritional and developmental problems seen in people with chylomicron retention disease. |
What is (are) Stroke ? | Atherosclerosis, also known as hardening of the arteries, is the most common blood vessel disease. It is caused by the buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries, and is a risk factor for stroke. |

I can understand your concern. You have pleural effusion. You should go for pleural fluid routine and microscopic examination and pleural fluid cytology. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Also, you should go for ANA profile. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health. |
What causes Renal Artery Stenosis ? | About 90 percent of RAS is caused by atherosclerosisclogging, narrowing, and hardening of the renal arteries.2 In these cases, RAS develops when plaquea sticky substance made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other material found in the bloodbuilds up on the inner wall of one or both renal arteries. Plaque buildup is what makes the artery wall hard and narrow.
Most other cases of RAS are caused by fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD)the abnormal development or growth of cells on the renal artery wallswhich can cause blood vessels to narrow. Rarely, RAS is caused by other conditions. |
What causes Neonatal progeroid syndrome ? | What causes neonatal progeroid syndrome? The exact underlying cause of neonatal progeroid syndrome is unknown. Scientists suspect that it is a genetic condition; however, a disease-causing gene has not been identified. |
Last night my husband bit me on my arm . I quickly got up and told him to stop. I really got scared i told him what he had done and that if he had realised what he has done. his response was yes . he then got out of bed and went to the toilet. At this point he really sh?? me up.That evening he was watching a vampire movie with lots of blood and guts. He does not sleep well. His bedtime routine is sleeping between 1am and 3am. He gets up for half 8pm. He s got a lot of stress . He speaks jiberish whiles sleeping and makes sudden movements. Once he was having a nightmare until I woke I m up, asking him if he was ok. I think I saved him from his nightmare. Can you please help and give some sort of explanation. Thanks kera | Hello Seethalkaursingh, The problem you have tried to describe, doesn't appear to a nightmare. Its closer to being a night terror. Please understand that sucChatDoctorplains are very common and increase at the time of stress. People generally don't discuss them as they don't cause any problem for themselves. Epilepsy / seizure disorder is another concern, and he should be investigated by an EEG. There are many unanswered questions in your write-up.

Hi my daughter has been in hospital for two weeks with abdominal pain which goes through to her back and is painful when her tummy is pressed and her back. She had her appendix removed 7 weeks ago in Turkey as they had ruptured and the poison affected her blood. She is having trouble urinating she can go but it takes her a long time, has been feeling nauseous and today started vomiting . The doctors yesterday started treating for pid with oral antibiotics but they are not sure that is the cause. She has had an ultrasound abdominal and a ct of her tummy and all looks fine. The pain is getting more severe and she has gone from feeling sick to vomiting and the pain is no better even though she is taking paracetamol , codeine , ibuprofen and oramoph and also anti sickness tablets. Her bloods are showing up clear, although one was slightly, but only slightly they say, for infection which they think could be left over from the appendix op. A small amount of fluid was seen on the ultrasound that shouldn t be there but ultrasound was carried out last Monday and CT last Wednesday. She has had an internal examination and that was extremely painful. | Dear Tina, I don't know the most important thing; how old is you daughter? Symptoms you're describing can be related to appendectomy complication especially if it was perforated and pelvic type of appendicitis. It seems like ureter was irritated which is a common complication and urinary infection should be ruled out definitely. Abscesses collection after appendectomy which US is describing could cause such symptoms, and it must be treated by antibiotics. Percutaneous puncture of collection can be also done if necessary but I suggest just to wait for the effect of antibiotics. If fertility and pain persist then u should repeat CT scan. Also, I think that you shouldn't give analgesics to child because it can hide symptoms, be care about it...you must know the intensity of pain no matter how it hurts because it guides doctor to the right diagnosis. Wish you good health, Chat Doctor. |

Do you have information about Tonsils and Adenoids | Summary : Your tonsils and adenoids are part of your lymphatic system. Your tonsils are in the back of your throat.

What is (are) hypochondrogenesis ? | Hypochondrogenesis is a rare, severe disorder of bone growth. This condition is characterized by a small body, short limbs, and abnormal bone formation (ossification) in the spine and pelvis. Affected infants have short arms and legs, a small chest with short ribs, and underdeveloped lungs. Bones in the skull develop normally, but the bones of the spine (vertebrae) and pelvis do not harden (ossify) properly. The face appears flat and oval-shaped, with widely spaced eyes, a small chin, and, in some cases, an opening in the roof of the mouth called a cleft palate. Individuals with hypochondrogenesis have an enlarged abdomen and may have a condition called hydrops fetalis in which excess fluid builds up in the body before birth. As a result of these serious health problems, some affected fetuses do not survive to term. Infants born with hypochondrogenesis usually die at birth or shortly thereafter from respiratory failure. Babies who live past the newborn period are usually reclassified as having spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita, a related but milder disorder that similarly affects bone development. |

Additional common features of Feingold syndrome include an unusually small head size (microcephaly), a small jaw (micrognathia), a narrow opening of the eyelids (short palpebral fissures), and mild to moderate learning disability. Less often, affected individuals have hearing loss, impaired growth, and kidney and heart abnormalities. |

Thank you so much for the education :) | Did you place the back of the watch on your chest (in the V2 lead position) and then touch the crown with your finger to get this? If so, then the inverted T wave you are concerned about would not be a valid finding.

EKG tracings from Apple Watches are good for determining heart rhythms but not much else. |

Please help what can be wrong :(. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your problem. In my opinion, you are having HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) mostly. But better to rule out cardiac cause for your chest pain. So get done ECG first. If ECG is normal then no need to worry much for cardiac cause. GERD appears more in your case. It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms of burning chest pain. Try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.1. Avoid hot and spicy food.2. Avoid stress and anxiety.3. Start proton pump inhibitor.4. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. |

Hi Doc, my father had clot in middle brain, he is diabetic as well, we were able to take him to hosp. in due course of time post his stroke at 12.30am , he slept at 12.15am ... at 2.45am doctor at max hospital got a consent signed and gave him medicine which is approx 60k, we agree for that since 10% chances were there for bleeding, 30% for slight revival and 60% for stagnation... post this medicine , now its 3rd day, he is able to move his right hand n leg, can walk a bit but not able to speak properly .. say yes , no, ok and it looks like he is not able to recall previous instances to the 100% satisfaction, he worked in govt. deptt but on asking he said i worked in private, dont remeber where he live, colour recognistion is not there... green colour , he said royal blue... pls help and suggest what is in store for in future. | Dear Mr. I am sorry for your father health problem. It is the best thing you can do to prevent brain damage after stroke, trying thrombosis. Procedure has been done very fast and no brain damage shouldn't happen. I think with physiotherapy and helping him in speech after some weeks he will be fine again. Hope my advice will help you wish you all the best |
What causes What I need to know about Hirschsprung Disease ? | People with HD have constipation because they lack nerve cells in a part or all of the large intestine. The nerve cells signal muscles in the large intestine to push stool toward the anus. Without a signal to push stool along, stool will remain in the large intestine.
How severe HD is depends on how much of the large intestine is affected. Short-segment HD means only the last part of the large intestine lacks nerve cells. Long-segment HD means most or all of the large intestine, and sometimes the last part of the small intestine, lacks nerve cells.
In a person with HD, stool moves through the large intestine until it reaches the part lacking nerve cells. At that point, the stool moves slowly or stops, causing an intestinal obstruction. |
Who is at risk for Anemia of Inflammation and Chronic Disease? ? | While AI/ACD can affect people at any age, older adults are especially at risk because they have the highest rates of chronic disease. AI/ACD is also common among hospitalized patients, particularly those with chronic illnesses.
More than 130 million Americans live with at least one chronic illness.2 Addressing the causes of anemia in people with chronic disease can help improve their health and quality of life. |
How to diagnose Proctitis ? | To diagnose proctitis, a health care provider will take a complete medical history and do a physical exam. The health care provider will ask the patient about symptoms, current and past medical conditions, family history, and sexual behavior that increases the risk of STD-induced proctitis. The physical exam will include an assessment of the patients vital signs, an abdominal exam, and a rectal exam.
Based on the patients physical exam, symptoms, and other medical information, the doctor will decide which lab tests and diagnostic tests are needed. Lab tests may include blood tests such as a complete blood count to evaluate for blood loss or infection, stool tests to isolate and identify bacteria that may cause disease, and an STD screening. The doctor also may use one of the following diagnostic tests:
- Rectal culture. A cotton swab is inserted into the rectum to obtain a sample that can be used in tests that isolate and identify organisms that may cause disease. - Anoscopy. This test allows examination of the anal canal and lower rectum by opening the anus using a special instrument called an anoscope. - Flexible sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy. These tests are used to help diagnose Crohns disease. The tests are similar, but colonoscopy is used to view the entire colon and rectum, while flexible sigmoidoscopy is used to view just the lower colon and rectum. For both tests, a health care provider will provide written bowel prep instructions to follow at home before the test. The person may be asked to follow a clear liquid diet for 1 to 3 days before the test. A laxative may be required the night before the test. One or more enemas may be required the night before and about 2 hours before the test. |
My daughter is 1 Year 7 Months old. From the last 4 days she is suffering from loose motions. while feeling her gums we are detecting that new tooth is coming. Is that the reason for the loose motions ? We had shown her to our regular ped. & he suspecting viral - diarrohia had given her Nizonide dry suspension. The course of the medicine has gotten over but still the problem persists. Please advise | Most commonly diarrhea is due to viral infection in your child get her stool examination done til then give her ORS, zinc syrup, |
Doctor, there's a lump in your breast, there's pain in your throat, there's skin lesions, there's pain in your bones these days, can you tell me what's wrong? | It seems to be a non-musual growth of fat tissue, a fatty species, which can cause discomfort, especially when it's located in sensitive areas, where there's usually no pain. You have to do some additional tests to make sure you're diagnosed. |
so i have a hairline fracture in my ankle. everytime i remove my boot to take a shower and step on my foot i feel a pin and needles sensation in foot. i already went for xray have been doing nothing for a long time. should i be concerned that it could worsen? | Hello! You haven't written when fracture happened. Swelling, paresthesia, skin color change can occur 6-12 months after ankle fracture. You can use B vitamin complex and Gino Balboa for 1 month to improve healing and recovery |
What causes Causes of Diabetes ? | Type 2 diabetesthe most common form of diabetesis caused by a combination of factors, including insulin resistance, a condition in which the bodys muscle, fat, and liver cells do not use insulin effectively. Type 2 diabetes develops when the body can no longer produce enough insulin to compensate for the impaired ability to use insulin. Symptoms of type 2 diabetes may develop gradually and can be subtle; some people with type 2 diabetes remain undiagnosed for years.
Type 2 diabetes develops most often in middle-aged and older people who are also overweight or obese. The disease, once rare in youth, is becoming more common in overweight and obese children and adolescents. Scientists think genetic susceptibility and environmental factors are the most likely triggers of type 2 diabetes.
Genetic Susceptibility
Genes play a significant part in susceptibility to type 2 diabetes. Having certain genes or combinations of genes may increase or decrease a persons risk for developing the disease. The role of genes is suggested by the high rate of type 2 diabetes in families and identical twins and wide variations in diabetes prevalence by ethnicity. Type 2 diabetes occurs more frequently in African Americans, Alaska Natives, American Indians, Hispanics/Latinos, and some Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islander Americans than it does in non-Hispanic whites.
Recent studies have combined genetic data from large numbers of people, accelerating the pace of gene discovery. Though scientists have now identified many gene variants that increase susceptibility to type 2 diabetes, the majority have yet to be discovered. The known genes appear to affect insulin production rather than insulin resistance. Researchers are working to identify additional gene variants and to learn how they interact with one another and with environmental factors to cause diabetes.
Studies have shown that variants of the TCF7L2 gene increase susceptibility to type 2 diabetes. For people who inherit two copies of the variants, the risk of developing type 2 diabetes is about 80 percent higher than for those who do not carry the gene variant.1 However, even in those with the variant, diet and physical activity leading to weight loss help delay diabetes, according to the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), a major clinical trial involving people at high risk.
Genes can also increase the risk of diabetes by increasing a persons tendency to become overweight or obese. One theory, known as the thrifty gene hypothesis, suggests certain genes increase the efficiency of metabolism to extract energy from food and store the energy for later use. This survival trait was advantageous for populations whose food supplies were scarce or unpredictable and could help keep people alive during famine. In modern times, however, when high-calorie foods are plentiful, such a trait can promote obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Obesity and Physical Inactivity
Physical inactivity and obesity are strongly associated with the development of type 2 diabetes. People who are genetically susceptible to type 2 diabetes are more vulnerable when these risk factors are present.
An imbalance between caloric intake and physical activity can lead to obesity, which causes insulin resistance and is common in people with type 2 diabetes. Central obesity, in which a person has excess abdominal fat, is a major risk factor not only for insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes but also for heart and blood vessel disease, also called cardiovascular disease (CVD). This excess belly fat produces hormones and other substances that can cause harmful, chronic effects in the body such as damage to blood vessels.
The DPP and other studies show that millions of people can lower their risk for type 2 diabetes by making lifestyle changes and losing weight. The DPP proved that people with prediabetesat high risk of developing type 2 diabetescould sharply lower their risk by losing weight through regular physical activity and a diet low in fat and calories. In 2009, a follow-up study of DPP participantsthe Diabetes Prevention Program Outcomes Study (DPPOS)showed that the benefits of weight loss lasted for at least 10 years after the original study began.2

Insulin Resistance
Insulin resistance is a common condition in people who are overweight or obese, have excess abdominal fat, and are not physically active. Muscle, fat, and liver cells stop responding properly to insulin, forcing the pancreas to compensate by producing extra insulin. As long as beta cells are able to produce enough insulin, blood glucose levels stay in the normal range. But when insulin production falters because of beta cell dysfunction, glucose levels rise, leading to prediabetes or diabetes.
Abnormal Glucose Production by the Liver
In some people with diabetes, an abnormal increase in glucose production by the liver also contributes to high blood glucose levels. Normally, the pancreas releases the hormone glucagon when blood glucose and insulin levels are low. Glucagon stimulates the liver to produce glucose and release it into the bloodstream. But when blood glucose and insulin levels are high after a meal, glucagon levels drop, and the liver stores excess glucose for later, when it is needed. For reasons not completely understood, in many people with diabetes, glucagon levels stay higher than needed. High glucagon levels cause the liver to produce unneeded glucose, which contributes to high blood glucose levels. Metformin, the most commonly used drug to treat type 2 diabetes, reduces glucose production by the liver.
The Roles of Insulin and Glucagon in Normal Blood Glucose Regulation
A healthy persons body keeps blood glucose levels in a normal range through several complex mechanisms. Insulin and glucagon, two hormones made in the pancreas, help regulate blood glucose levels:
- Insulin, made by beta cells, lowers elevated blood glucose levels. - Glucagon, made by alpha cells, raises low blood glucose levels.
- Insulin helps muscle, fat, and liver cells absorb glucose from the bloodstream, lowering blood glucose levels. - Insulin stimulates the liver and muscle tissue to store excess glucose. The stored form of glucose is called glycogen. - Insulin also lowers blood glucose levels by reducing glucose production in the liver.
- Glucagon signals the liver and muscle tissue to break down glycogen into glucose, which enters the bloodstream and raises blood glucose levels. - If the body needs more glucose, glucagon stimulates the liver to make glucose from amino acids.
Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic syndrome, also called insulin resistance syndrome, refers to a group of conditions common in people with insulin resistance, including
- higher than normal blood glucose levels - increased waist size due to excess abdominal fat - high blood pressure - abnormal levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood
Cell Signaling and Regulation
Cells communicate through a complex network of molecular signaling pathways. For example, on cell surfaces, insulin receptor molecules capture, or bind, insulin molecules circulating in the bloodstream. This interaction between insulin and its receptor prompts the biochemical signals that enable the cells to absorb glucose from the blood and use it for energy.
Problems in cell signaling systems can set off a chain reaction that leads to diabetes or other diseases. Many studies have focused on how insulin signals cells to communicate and regulate action. Researchers have identified proteins and pathways that transmit the insulin signal and have mapped interactions between insulin and body tissues, including the way insulin helps the liver control blood glucose levels. Researchers have also found that key signals also come from fat cells, which produce substances that cause inflammation and insulin resistance.
This work holds the key to combating insulin resistance and diabetes. As scientists learn more about cell signaling systems involved in glucose regulation, they will have more opportunities to develop effective treatments.
Beta Cell Dysfunction
Scientists think beta cell dysfunction is a key contributor to type 2 diabetes. Beta cell impairment can cause inadequate or abnormal patterns of insulin release. Also, beta cells may be damaged by high blood glucose itself, a condition called glucose toxicity.
Scientists have not determined the causes of beta cell dysfunction in most cases. Single gene defects lead to specific forms of diabetes called maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY). The genes involved regulate insulin production in the beta cells. Although these forms of diabetes are rare, they provide clues as to how beta cell function may be affected by key regulatory factors. Other gene variants are involved in determining the number and function of beta cells. But these variants account for only a small percentage of type 2 diabetes cases. Malnutrition early in life is also being investigated as a cause of beta cell dysfunction. The metabolic environment of the developing fetus may also create a predisposition for diabetes later in life.
Risk Factors for Type 2 Diabetes
People who develop type 2 diabetes are more likely to have the following characteristics:
- age 45 or older - overweight or obese - physically inactive - parent or sibling with diabetes - family background that is African American, Alaska Native, American Indian, Asian American, Hispanic/Latino, or Pacific Islander American - history of giving birth to a baby weighing more than 9 pounds - history of gestational diabetes - high blood pressure140/90 or aboveor being treated for high blood pressure - high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or good, cholesterol below 35 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), or a triglyceride level above 250 mg/dL - polycystic ovary syndrome, also called PCOS - prediabetesan A1C level of 5.7 to 6.4 percent; a fasting plasma glucose test result of 100125 mg/dL, called impaired fasting glucose; or a 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test result of 140199, called impaired glucose tolerance - acanthosis nigricans, a condition associated with insulin resistance, characterized by a dark, velvety rash around the neck or armpits - history of CVD
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends that testing to detect prediabetes and type 2 diabetes be considered in adults who are overweight or obese and have one or more additional risk factors for diabetes. In adults without these risk factors, testing should begin at age 45. |
Hello my name is Tom, and at 5:38am on July 30th (today) I woke up with pains in my lower chest/ upper, and middle belly area, and I started to freak out. I looked up symptons of apendicitis and some of them are loss of apetite, nausea, belly pain... I have these three. I was just wondering if there was any worry, my mom said that its just a stomach ache and that it will pass, but ive never had a stomach like this before. The time right now is 6:27am. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you are mostly having acute gastritis because appendicitis is much more severe. So take pantoprazole tablet on empty stomach twice daily. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Chat Doctor. Your symptoms will definitely improve. If not improving in 2-3 days then get done ultrasound abdomen to rule out appendicitis. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |
hi my son 6 1/2 years old having sever wheezing now ...iam giving him budicort and levolin combination...today morning 10am once 4 pm once but still controlled anything....infact he is suffering a lot..one of our child specialist asked us to give levolin back to back ( 2 levolin at 9pm to controle severity) given but still he is in the same condtion again 11pm budicort and levolin combination given....now also he still not free with his breath that whistling sound able to outsiders..what to do? let me know how much time gap should be there for budicort levolin combination...will it safe for him nubulizing with these medicine...please help me I will be waiting for the answer thanku. | Hi welcome to ChatDoctori am concerned about you child as your son is having wheeze which is not reduced inspire of giving leveling and decor nebulization, I would like to suggest use of oral steroids at the dose of 1 mg/kg body weight and if he is having any fever use of antibiotics such as azithromycin can give along with this leveling zebu;station thrice daily. If not subsided you can give Dublin nebulization(leveling+ipratropium)hope my answer is useful |
I had a mri dr told me I have a cracked disc and a piece has broken off an floating around also I have a large tare that is leaking fluid he said I need a disc replaced as well as 2 bars put in an fuse the lower back? is this a common thing to repair the problem an how major is the surgery? | Dear patient Spine surgery is considered major surgery and as per your description you have got sequestered disc that needs to be excised to get relief from back pain and lower limb sensory symptoms. Since you have opted for disc replacement fusion is not required of your vertebra. Nowadays with minimally invasive spine surgery fusion is not required. You need to consult expert spine surgeon with report. All the best. |
right arm aches mostly at night...I had open heart surgery 6 months ago and my right arm has not been the same since...every night as soon as I get in bed it starts a dull but very anoying ache ...I tried taking tylenol and it doesnt help...my hand seems to be swollen for a few hours after I get up in the morning....what could be causing this pain | First possibility I can think, probably some small nerves might have been damaged or compressed during surgery. So you can try nerve vitamin like erosion forte once a day and asked your physician for nerve stabilizer like pregabalin. |

What are the genetic changes related to Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome ? | Mutations in the TREX1, RNASEH2A, RNASEH2B, RNASEH2C, and SAMHD1 genes have been identified in people with Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome. The TREX1, RNASEH2A, RNASEH2B, and RNASEH2C genes provide instructions for making nucleases, which are enzymes that help break up molecules of DNA and its chemical cousin RNA. Mutations in any of these genes are believed to result in an absent or dysfunctional nuclease enzyme. Researchers suggest that absent or impaired enzyme function may result in the accumulation of unneeded DNA and RNA in cells. These DNA and RNA molecules or fragments may be generated during the first stage of protein production (transcription), copying (replication) of cells' genetic material in preparation for cell division, DNA repair, cell death, and other processes. The unneeded DNA and RNA may be mistaken by cells for that of viral invaders, triggering immune system reactions that result in encephalopathy, skin lesions, and other signs and symptoms of Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome. The SAMHD1 gene provides instructions for making a protein whose function is not well understood; however, it is believed to be involved in the immune system and the inflammatory process. Mutations in this gene likely result in a protein that does not function properly, resulting in immune system abnormalities, inflammatory damage to the brain and skin, and other characteristics of Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome. |
