Question: Why do mouth disease and tooth decay cause cats to drool and how can I fix this?
Answer: To check, pull her lip back toward her ear. Are they brown? Are the gums red, swollen, or even bleeding? Try a professional cleaning first, and then brush her teeth daily. Have your vet check for gingivitis, mouth ulcers, and tumors. If this happens when you put her in teh car to take her to the vet, try putting her in her carrier in the back seat without driving anywhere.
Question: How does motion sickness cause cats to drool and how can I fix this?
Answer: Stress: Open-mouth panting and breathing are signs of anxiety. If this happens when you put her in teh car to take her to the vet, try putting her in her carrier in the back seat without driving anywhere. Then, slowly work up to backing out of the driveway and driving around the block. Gradually repeat the routine as needed to ease her stress. You can also drape a breathable cloth over the carrier before heading out, so she doesn’t panic.
Question: What are the symptoms of conversion disorder?

Question: What are the treatments for conversion disorder?
Answer: Psychotherapy treatments are most often used, including: Occupational or physical therapy Counseling Hypnosis Antidepressants or antipsychotic drugs Symptoms can last from a few days to several weeks.
Question: What are the causes of conversion disorder?
Answer: While the specific cause of conversion disorder is still being studied, researchers think it develops as a way for your brain to deal with emotional strife. It's almost always triggered by stressful situations and other mental disorders. And the symptoms usually develop suddenly.
Question: What steps can help prevent conversion disorder?
Answer: They cause you stress in social and work settings. There is no specific medication to treat conversion disorder. If you're already living with a mental health disorder, see your doctor regularly and take your recommended medications to help with prevention, as well.
Question: What two parts are in a pacemaker?
Answer: The pacemaker has two parts: the leads and a pulse generator. The pulse generator houses the battery and a tiny computer, and resides just under the skin of the chest. The leads are wires that are threaded through the veins into the heart and implanted into the heart muscle. They send impulses from the pulse generator to the heart muscle, as well as sense the heart's electrical activity. Each impulse causes the heart to contract. The pacemaker may have one to three leads, depending on the type of pacemaker needed to treat your heart problem.
Question: What will the temporary ID card of your pacemaker tell you?
Answer: Call your doctor if you notice: Increased drainage, bleeding, or oozing from the insertion site Increased opening of the incision Redness around the site Warmth along the site Increased body temperature (fever or chills) Your pacemaker settings will be checked before you leave the hospital. You will receive a temporary ID card that tells you: The type of pacemaker and leads you have. The date of the pacemaker implant. The name of the doctor who implanted the pacemaker. Within three months, you will receive a permanent card from the pacemaker company. Carry this card with you at all times in case you need medical attention at another hospital.
Question: What are the different types of pacemakers?
Answer: There are different types of pacemakers: Single-chamber pacemakers use one lead in the upper chamber (atria) or lower chamber (ventricles) of the right side of the heart. Dual-chamber pacemakers use one lead in the right atrium and one lead in the right ventricle of your heart. Biventricular pacemakers use three leads: one placed in the right atrium, one placed in the right ventricle, and one placed in the left ventricle (via the coronary sinus vein).
Question: What should I do after the pacemaker procedure?
Answer: Do not lift objects that weigh more than 10 pounds. Do not hold your arm above shoulder level for three weeks. Avoid activities that require pushing or pulling heavy objects, such as shoveling the snow or mowing the lawn. Stop any activity before you become overtired. Avoid golfing, tennis, and swimming for 6 weeks after the procedure. Try to walk as much as possible for exercise. Ask your doctor when you can resume more strenuous activities. Your doctor will tell you when you can go back to work, usually within a week after you go home. If you have the flexibility at your job, ease back to your regular works schedule.
Question: What happens after the pacemaker procedure?
Answer: You may be admitted to the hospital overnight. The nurses will monitor your heart rate and rhythm.
Question: How long will my pacemaker last?
Answer: Pacemakers may last five to 10 years and sometimes longer, depending on how often they are used. When the battery becomes low, it will need to be changed.
Question: What happens during the pacemaker procedure?
Answer: The endocardial pacemaker implant takes about one to five hours to perform. You will lie on a bed and the nurse will start an intravenous line ( IV) into your arm or hand. This is so you may receive medications and fluids during the procedure. You will be given a medication through your IV to relax you and make you drowsy, but it will not put you to sleep. The nurse will connect you to several monitors. The monitors allow the doctor and nurse to check your heart rhythm, blood pressure, and other measurements during the pacemaker implant. Your left or right side of your chest will be shaved and cleansed with a special soap. Sterile drapes are used to cover you from your neck to your feet. A strap will be placed across your waist and arms to prevent your hands from coming in contact with the sterile field. The doctor will numb your skin by injecting a local numbing medication. You will feel a pinching or burning feeling at first. Then, it will become numb. Once this occurs, an incision will be made to insert the pacemaker and leads. You may feel a pulling as the doctor makes a pocket in the tissue under your skin for the pacemaker. You should not feel pain. If you do, tell your nurse. After the pocket is made, the doctor will insert the leads into a vein and guide them into position using the X-ray machine. After the leads are in place, their function is tested to make sure they can increase your heart rate. This is called "pacing" and involves delivering small amounts of energy through the leads into the heart muscle. This causes the heart to contract. When your heart rate increases, you may feel your heart is racing or beating faster. It is very important to tell your doctor or nurse any symptoms you feel. Any pain should be reported immediately. After the leads are tested the doctor will connect them to your pacemaker. Your doctor will determine the rate of your pacemaker and other settings. The final pacemaker settings are done after the implant using a special device called a programmer.
Question: How often will I need to see my doctor?
Answer: A complete pacemaker check should be done six weeks after your pacemaker is implanted. This follow-up appointment is critical, because adjustments will be made that will prolong the life of your pacemaker. Then your pacemaker should be checked every three months on the telephone to evaluate battery function. Your nurse will explain how to check your pacemaker using the telephone transmitter. Once or twice a year you will need a more complete exam. If you have a biventricular pacemaker, you may need to visit the doctor's office or hospital more frequently to make sure your device is working properly and the settings do not need to be adjusted.
Question: Should I avoid certain electrical devices with a pacemaker?
Answer: Electric blankets, heating pads, and microwave ovens can be used and will not interfere with the function of your pacemaker. Cell phones should not be placed directly against the chest or on the same side as your pacemaker. You will need to avoid strong electric or magnetic fields, such as some industrial equipment; ham radios; high intensity radio waves (found near large electrical generators, power plants, or radiofrequency transmission towers); and arc resistance welders. Do not undergo any tests that require magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI). When going through airport security, show your pacemaker card without going through the screening machine because the pacemaker will set off the security alarms. Your doctor or nurse can provide more information about what types of equipment may interfere with your pacemaker. If you have concerns about your job or activities, ask your doctor.
Question: What is pacemaker?
Answer: The normal, healthy heart has its own pacemaker that regulates the rate that the heart beats. However, some hearts don't beat regularly. A pacemaker can sometimes correct the problem. A pacemaker is a small device that sends electrical impulses to the heart muscle to maintain a suitable heart rate and rhythm. A pacemaker may also be used to treat fainting spells (syncope), congestive heart failure, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Pacemakers are implanted just under the skin of the chest during a minor surgical procedure.
Question: What else are pacemakers used to treat besides heart rate?
Answer: A pacemaker may also be used to treat fainting spells (syncope), congestive heart failure, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The leads are wires that are threaded through the veins into the heart and implanted into the heart muscle. This is called "pacing" and involves delivering small amounts of energy through the leads into the heart muscle.
Question: When should you call your doctor about the pacemaker procedure?
Answer: You will be given a medication through your IV to relax you and make you drowsy, but it will not put you to sleep. Keep your wound clean and dry. Look at your wound every day to make sure it is healing. Call your doctor if you notice: Increased drainage, bleeding, or oozing from the insertion site Increased opening of the incision Redness around the site Warmth along the site Increased body temperature (fever or chills) Your pacemaker settings will be checked before you leave the hospital.
Question: How is the type of pacemaker and heart rate chosen?
Answer: The pacemaker may have one to three leads, depending on the type of pacemaker needed to treat your heart problem. The doctor programs the minimum heart rate. When your heart rate drops below that set rate, your pacemaker generates (fires) an electrical impulse that passes through the lead to the heart muscle. This causes the heart muscle to contract, creating a heartbeat.
Question: How are pacemakers implanted with the epicardial approach?
Answer: Epicardial approach. This technique is more commonly used in children than adults. General anesthesia is given to put you to sleep. The surgeon attaches the lead tip to the heart muscle, while the other end of the lead (attached to the pulse generator) is placed in a pocket created under the skin in the abdomen. Although recovery with the epicardial approach is longer than that of the transvenous approach, minimally invasive techniques have enabled shorter hospital stays and quicker recovery times. The doctor will determine, which pacemaker implant method is best for you. Once this occurs, an incision will be made to insert the pacemaker and leads.
Question: How are pacemakers implanted with the endocardial approach?
Answer: Pacemakers are implanted two ways: Endocardial approach. An incision is made in the chest where the leads and pacemaker are inserted. The lead(s) is inserted through the incision and into a vein, then guided to the heart with the aid of the x-ray machine. The lead tip attaches to the heart muscle, while the other end of the lead (attached to the pulse generator) is placed in a pocket created under the skin in the upper chest. The doctor will numb your skin by injecting a local numbing medication.
Question: What are some tips and precautions when doing exercises to improve your posture?
Answer: Pull your abdominal muscles in and up toward your spine as you exercise. Work with slow, controlled movements, breathing evenly, without holding your breath. Tailor your number of repetitions and sets to your current level of core fitness. If you have mild back pain, core-strengthening exercises may improve posture, ease symptoms, and prevent future pain. If you have severe back pain or injury, are out of shape, or have any medical problems, talk to your doctor before you start any exercise program. Some exercises may not be recommended. Stop doing any activity that causes pain or makes pain worse.
Question: What can you do to improve your posture?
Answer: Some of these muscles move your torso by flexing, extending, or rotating your spine. Others stabilize your pelvis and spine in a natural, neutral position. Old-style sit-ups used only a few of these muscles, often with jerky momentum. Today's yoga, Pilates, and core fitness programs target your entire core with slow, controlled movements to get the most out of your workout. Repeat five to 10 times, adding more as your core gets stronger Increase the Intensity: The closer your straight leg is to the floor, the harder the work for your core.
Question: What is the current solution for antibiotic resistance?
Answer: In 2015, the White House created a National Action Plan for Combatting Antibiotic Resistance. Its recommendations include: Scientists should step up the development of new antibiotics and vaccines as well as diagnostic tests to identify drug-resistant bacteria. Public health officials should monitor antibiotic resistance and track its spread. Doctors should help stop unnecessary antibiotic use and develop safer practices in hospitals and clinics. Farmers should stop giving animals antibiotics needed to treat diseases in people.
Question: How do bacteria become antibiotic resistant?
Answer: Some bacteria can naturally resist certain kinds of antibiotics. Others can become resistant if their genes change or they get drug-resistant genes from other bacteria. The longer and more often antibiotics are used, the less effective they are against those bacteria.
Question: How many infections are resistance to antibiotics?
Answer: Each year, an estimated 2 million people in the U. S. develop infections that are resistant to antibiotics. In some cases, these infections result in death.
Question: How can antibiotic resistance affect chronic diseases?
Answer: Resistance also makes it more difficult to care for people with chronic diseases. Some people need medical treatments like chemotherapy, surgery, or dialysis, and they sometimes take antibiotics to help reduce the risk of infection.
Question: What are the potential benefits of digital mammography?
Answer: More analysis. Because digital mammograms are stored electronically, they can be analyzed by computers as well as by radiologists. Easier second opinions. They can easily be sent electronically for analysis. More to see. The images can be manipulated for better clarity and visibility. Film mammogram can't. Lower average radiation dosage. Digital mammograms often take more views of each breast than the film kind -- but they use about 25% less radiation. That's because smaller areas of the breast are imaged in each view. Easier to store. The digital images stay on a computer.
Question: How common are digital mammograms?
Answer: Most mammogram facilities in the U. S. now have digital capabilities. But If you can't get the digital kind, that doesn't mean you should skip getting a film mammogram.
Question: How well do digital mammograms work?
Answer: The women were screened using both types of tests. Breast cancer was found in 335 of the women. The researchers determined that digital mammograms did a better job with detection for three groups of women: Under age 50 Had dense breasts Hadn't yet gone through menopause, or had been in menopause less than a year If you fall into one of these groups, talk with your doctor about having a digital mammogram.
Question: What are popular screening methods for breast cancer?
Answer: Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women in the U. The images are checked for anything irregular, and doctors also look for changes from previous tests. The images were recorded on film for many years. But now digital mammograms can store and analyze the information using a computer. She then takes images of your breast from top to bottom and side to side.
Question: How common is breast cancer in the United States?
Answer: Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women in the U. The images are checked for anything irregular, and doctors also look for changes from previous tests. Breast cancer was found in 335 of the women.

Question: How can working around harmful chemicals cause bladder cancer?
Answer: People who work in certain industries (painters, machinists, printers, hairdressers, and truck drivers, among others) may be exposed to harmful chemicals for long periods of time. This can increase their risk of disease.
Question: What is the outlook for people with bladder cancer?
Answer: The 5-year survival rate for bladder cancer is about 77%. That means that about 7 out of 10 people who are diagnosed with the disease will still be alive 5 years later. But that's just an estimate. Your outcome is based on your unique situation. That includes things like your age, overall health, how early the cancer was found, and how well it responds to treatment.
Question: How can chronic bladder inflammation cause bladder cancer?
Answer: If you have bladder infections that keep coming back or another condition that causes your bladder to be irritated for long periods of time, you stand a better chance of getting bladder cancer.
