Question: How long are colonoscopies?
Answer: Colonoscopy takes 30 to 60 minutes.
Question: What complications can happen in a colonoscopy?
Answer: However, such complications are uncommon.
Question: How do I prepare for a colonoscopy?
Answer: To prepare for the procedure, you may have to follow a liquid diet for 1 to 3 days beforehand. A liquid diet means fat-free bouillon or broth, gelatin, strained fruit juice, water, plain coffee, plain tea, or diet soda. You may need to take laxatives or an enema before the procedure. Also, you must arrange for someone to take you home afterward; you will not be allowed to drive because of the sedatives. Your physician may give you other special instructions.
Question: What does a colonoscopy do?
Answer: Colonoscopy is also used to diagnose the causes of unexplained blood in the stool or changes in bowel habits. Colonoscopy enables the physician to see inflamed tissue, abnormal growths, ulcers, bleeding, and muscle spasms in the colon. The scope transmits an image of the inside of the colon onto a television or computer monitor, so the physician can carefully examine the lining of the colon.
Question: What happens if something unusual is found during a colonoscopy?
Answer: The scope bends, so the physician can move it around the curves of your colon. That tissue (biopsy) is then sent to a lab for testing. If there is bleeding in the colon, the physician can use the scope to pass a laser, heater probe or electrical probe, or inject special medicines, to stop the bleeding.
Question: What are possible complications of colonoscopies?
Answer: Bleeding and puncture of the colon are possible complications of colonoscopy. However, such complications are uncommon. To prepare for the procedure, you may have to follow a liquid diet for 1 to 3 days beforehand.

Question: Can medications affect my child's teeth?
Answer: If they stick on the teeth, the chance of cavities goes up. Children on medications for chronic conditions such as asthma and heart problems often have a higher decay rate. Antibiotics and some asthma medications can cause an overgrowth of candida (yeast), which can lead to a fungal infection called oral thrush. Signs are creamy, curd-like patches on the tongue or inside the mouth. Talk to your dentist about how often to brush if your child is taking long-term medications. It could be as often as four times a day.

Question: How do I get my child to brush their teeth?
Answer: Some tips to coax your reluctant child to brush on his own or get your little one to let you help: Be patient. Kids can start brushing their teeth with help from a grownup around 2 or 3. But they may not be ready to go it alone until about age 6. And it can take until around age 10 until children perfect their flossing skills. Don't wait until late in the day. If your child is tired, you may not get much cooperation with brushing, flossing, and rinsing. So start before it's too close to bedtime. Let your child choose toothpaste. Kids 5 or older can pick their own from options you approve. Motivate. A younger child may gladly brush for a sticker, for instance, or gold stars on a chart. Or make it a group activity. Kids might be more likely to join in if they see the grownups brushing.
Question: When should my child start brushing their teeth?
Answer: Before your baby has teeth, you can gently brush his gums. Use water on a baby toothbrush, or clean them with a soft washcloth. When your baby's teeth appear, brush twice a day with an infant toothbrush and fluoridated toothpaste. Start flossing when two of his teeth touch each other. Ask your dentist about techniques and schedules. Brush and floss just before bedtime. After that, don't give your child any food or drink, except water, until the next morning. Your dentist can suggest when your child should start using mouthwash. You'll need to wait until he knows how to spit it out. If your child is tired, you may not get much cooperation with brushing, flossing, and rinsing.
Question: Can I give juice to my young child?
Answer: Sugary liquids cling to his teeth, feeding bacteria that can cause tooth decay. Limit your child to no more than 4 ounces a day of 100% fruit juice. Give non-sugary drinks and foods at mealtimes, and use juice only as a treat.
Question: Can I give my young child a bottle to help them go to sleep?

Question: Can lifestyle changes help with misophonia?
Answer: You can also wear ear plugs and headsets to tune out sounds. Set up quiet areas or safe spots in your home where no one will make the noises that bother you.
Question: What causes misophonia?
Answer: Doctors aren't sure what causes misophonia, but it's not a problem with your ears. They think it's part mental, part physical. It could be related to how sound affects your brain and triggers automatic responses in your body.
Question: Where can I find other people with misophonia?
Answer: The Misophonia Association is based in Oregon and California, and holds a yearly convention for suffers. The International Misophonia Research Network Misophonia- Research.com is a resource for doctors and researchers interested in learning more about misophonia. Misophonia International.com offers free resources, such as handouts for parents, and webinars in association with Duke University for those in the U. S., Canada and U. K. Finally for those in the U. K. who are looking for support and research reports, try www.allergictosound.com You can also find online and social media groups where people share coping strategies.
Question: How do I treat misophonia?
Answer: The condition does affect daily life, but you can learn to manage it. Treatment often involves a multidisciplinary approach combining sound therapy by audiologists and supportive counseling in which coping strategies are emphasized. You might try a device like a hearing aid that creates a sound in your ear similar to a waterfall. The noise distracts you from triggers and reduces reactions. Other treatments include talk therapy.
Question: How does misophonia affect you?
Answer: The disorder appears to range from mild to severe. Individuals report a range of physiologic and emotional responses, with accompanying cognitions. If you have a mild reaction, you might feel: Anxious Uncomfortable The urge to flee Disgust If your response is more severe, the sound in question might cause: Rage Anger Hatred Panic Fear Emotional distress The disorder can put a cramp in your social life.
Question: When does misophonia start?
Answer: It could be related to how sound affects your brain and triggers automatic responses in your body. It also involves parts of the brain that code the importance of sounds.
Question: How will misophonia affect my social life?
Answer: Researchers believe that those with misophonia may already have issues with how their brains filter sounds and that one of the features of âmisophonic soundsâ may be their repetitive noise. You might avoid restaurants or eat separately from your spouse, family, or roommates. Over time, you may also respond to visual triggers, too. The condition does affect daily life, but you can learn to manage it.
Question: What triggers misophonia?
Answer: keyboard or finger tapping or the sound of windshield wipers. Sometimes a small repetitive motion is the cause -- someone fidgets, jostles you, or wiggles their foot. Similarly, people with misophonia also say they often react to the visual stimuli that accompanies sounds, and may also respond intensely to repetitive motions. Other treatments include talk therapy.
Question: How do I determine if drug treatment for multiple sclerosis is right for me?
Answer: Your doctor will probably suggest you start taking one as soon as you're diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS. Things to consider include side effects they might cause, benefits of taking them, how often you take them, how you take them, and your personal concerns, priorities, and lifestyle. The goal is to find a treatment you can use comfortably and consistently. Each drug company offers customer support and may also give financial help to some people without prescription drug coverage.
Question: What drugs have been shown to slow the progression of multiple sclerosis in people?
Answer: Many medications can slow down MS in some people. Doctors call them disease-modifying drugs. They include: Alemtuzumab ( Lemtrada) Cladribine ( Mavenclad) Dimethyl fumarate ( Tecfidera) Fingolimod ( Gilenya) Glatiramer acetate ( Copaxone, Glatopa) Interferon beta-1a ( Avonex, Rebif ) Interferon beta-1b ( Betaseron) Mitoxantrone ( Novantrone) Natalizumab ( Tysabri) Ocrelizumab ( Ocrevus) Peginterferon beta-1a ( Plegridy) Siponimod ( Mayzent) Teriflunomide ( Aubagio) All of these drugs work by holding back or changing how your body's immune system works.

Today, the most serious injury you're likely to receive from your cosmetics is an irritation from a product that is too harsh for your skin, or an allergic rash from a fragrance or a preservative in the product.
Question: What is sleep bruxism?
Answer: Most people probably grind and clench their teeth during sleep from time to time. Occasional teeth grinding, medically called bruxism, does not usually cause harm, but when teeth grinding occurs on a regular basis, the teeth can be damaged and other complications can arise, such as jaw muscle discomfort or TMJ pain.
Question: What is intacs surgery?
Answer: The doctor makes a small incision in your cornea and places two crescent-shaped plastic rings at the outer edge. The rings flatten your cornea and change the way light rays focus on your retina. ICR was used to treat nearsightedness, but that has been replaced by laser-based procedures. Now it's used to fix keratoconus, an irregular-shaped cornea that causes your cornea to thin and results in vision loss.
Question: What is AK surgery?
Answer: LRI is short for astigmatic keratotomy. It isn't laser eye surgery, but a surgical procedure used to correct astigmatism. When you have astigmatism, your eye is shaped like a football instead of being round. The doctor makes one or two incisions at the steepest part of your cornea. This helps it relax and makes it more rounded. This procedure can be done alone, or in combination with other laser eye surgeries like PRK, LASIK, or RK.
Question: What is PRK surgery?
Answer: PRK, or photorefractive keratectomy, is used to correct mild to moderate nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. Like LASIK, a surgeon uses a laser to reshape your cornea. But it only affects the cornea's surface, not the tissue underneath. Your doctor may also use computer imaging of the cornea.
Question: What is vision corrective surgery?
Answer: A LASIK or LASIK-related procedure can be combined with RLE to correct astigmatism. It isn't laser eye surgery, but a surgical procedure used to correct astigmatism.
Question: What does vision corrective surgery do?
Answer: Other procedures replace your eye's natural lens. The rings flatten your cornea and change the way light rays focus on your retina. The doctor makes one or two incisions at the steepest part of your cornea.
Question: How should you treat irritated skin caused by household cleaning products?
Answer: Avoiding the offending substance is the best way to prevent skin irritation. But if you do come in contact with an unfriendly cleaner and get a rash as a result, call your dermatologist. A prescription ointment or cream can help relieve the itching and redness. If the cream hasn't worked after about a week, your doctor might put you on a steroid medication.
Question: How does sensitive skin react to household cleaning products?
Answer: Sensitive skin that's been exposed to cleaning products can develop a red, swollen, itchy rash that dermatologists call contact dermatitis. There's no cure for housework, but identifying and avoiding the cleaning chemicals that inflame your skin can at least reduce your irritation when you have to do it.
Question: What can you wear to protect yourself from irritants in household cleaning products?
Answer: Protect your sensitive hands and arms by wearing waterproof gloves and long sleeves when you clean. If you're really sensitive, be careful about which type of gloves you buy. Latex gloves themselves can cause a skin reaction. Plastic and vinyl are better options for anyone with a latex sensitivity.
Question: Can reading labels help you avoid skin irritation caused by household cleaning products?
Answer: Know exactly which chemicals are in the product you're using. Try to avoid products that contain ingredients you've had a reaction to in the past. Follow directions on the label so you know you're using the cleaning product safely.
Question: Why shouldn't you mix household cleaning products?
Answer: Don't mix. Don't turn into a mad scientist. Mixing cleaning products is a dangerous experiment. Combining cleaning products is never a good idea. Cleaning products can produce dangerous fumes when combined with certain substances.
Question: What are alternatives for household cleaning to avoid irritants?
Answer: Look for cleaning products labeled "fragrance- and dye-free" or "all natural," or try an old fashioned cleaner like baking soda. Keep the lids tightly sealed to prevent the product from spilling on you.
Question: Why should you wash up after using household cleaning products?
Answer: Wash your hands or any other skin that's been exposed to the laundry detergent or cleaner with warm water and a gentle soap. Scratching will give you a few seconds of relief, but it can make your skin even itchier and it could cause an infection.
