Question: What happens after deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease?
Answer: A small device placed inside your chest sends electrical pulses to your brain. You'll need to keep taking your usual dose of Parkinson's medicine after surgery. Your device can't be programmed until the swelling in your brain goes down, which takes about 2 to 4 weeks, and you have the pulse generator. It also takes time to get the programming right. But once you do, your symptoms could get better, and you may need less medicine.
Question: What does it mean when babies walk on tiptoes?
Answer: Walking on tiptoes should disappear by the time a child is between ages 2 and 3. Many babies practice walking on tiptoe as they are first learning to walk. Only later, after 6 to 12 months or so of practice, will they learn to walk with a mature heel-to-toe gait.
Question: Are baby's bowed legs a concern?
Answer: Bowed legs are a common concern of new parents who may not realize that nearly every baby has bowed legs at birth. This outward curve of the leg bones usually resolves itself by age 2. Toddlers usually sway from side to side rather than move forward, at first, making their bowed legs look even more exaggerated. Bowed legs don't cause delayed walking or affect your baby's ability to learn to walk.
Question: Can flat feet delay walking in babies?
Answer: Just about every baby has flat feet at birth. It takes time for the foot's natural arch to develop. Flat feet rarely cause any problem with walking and often disappear by ages 2 or 3. Extremely flat feet can make your baby's ankles appear to bend inward as he or she walks. This happens if the arches don't fully develop to realign the foot and ankle. Treatment is rarely needed except in the most severe cases, and is not generally considered until a child grows past the early infant years. A tendency to flat feet can run in families.
Question: When should you see a doctor about delayed walking in babies?
Answer: Your baby's legs, feet, and motor skills will be checked as part of the normal well-baby visit. But see your baby's doctor if you're concerned about delayed walking.
Question: What are developmental milestones for walking in babies?

Between 11 and 14 months: Babies will start to walk alone -- by 14 months most babies will walk alone to some degree.
Question: How is the hepatitis C virus (HCV) linked to hemodialysis?
Answer: As in the general population, co-infection with both hepatitis C and hepatitis B appears to hasten disease progression in kidney transplant patients, increasing their risk of liver failure and death.

Question: Is there any risk to exercising with type 2 diabetes?
Answer: Exercise is one of the best ways to manage type 2 diabetes. It makes your cells use insulin better and can help keep your blood sugar in a healthy range. It also helps your cells take in that sugar. But if you take insulin or certain diabetes medications, a workout can send your levels too low, a condition called hypoglycemia.
Question: What level should my blood sugar be at before exercising if I have diabetes?
Answer: Test your sugar prior to a workout. It's generally OK if it's between 100 mg/dl and 250 mg/dl. If it's below 100, you'll need a snack. If you're planning a long workout of 2 hours or more, don't start until your reading is above 100. If it's higher than 250, check your urine for ketones. They're produced when your body burns fat instead of sugar for fuel. Don't exercise if you have them. Your blood sugar could go even higher and cause ketoacidosis, which might lead to a coma or death.
Question: What symptoms during exercising may indicate low blood sugar if I have diabetes?
Answer: If you notice anything unusual while you're at it, check your sugar, especially if the symptoms don't normally go with exercise, like: Confusion or feeling delirious Blurry or impaired vision Tingling or numbness in your lips or tongue Lack of coordination A low might feel different for you during exercise than it does at night or if you don't eat enough for the insulin you take at meals.

Answer: Dry mouth: Feeling parched? Saliva's job is to serve as a continuous rinse cycle for your mouth. If you don't have enough, your mouth loses its freshness fast. In fact, morning breath is worse for people who sleep with their mouths open.
Question: How does food trapped in your mouth cause bad breath?
Answer: Food "trapped" in your mouth: We're not talking about just a little spinach on your teeth. After a meal, any food particles that remain between your teeth, in your gums, or on your tongue can release their odor into your breath -- which gets worse as that food decays.

It has been effective in treating fibro pain. Savella (milnacipran): Savella is also an SNRI. While researchers aren't exactly sure how it works, studies have shown that it helps relieve pain and reduce fatigue in people with fibromyalgia.
Question: How can exercise help fibromyalgia symptoms?

Question: What should I do in an eye emergency?
Answer: Do not stop flushing your child's eye until medical help arrives unless instructed otherwise. If possible, show the chemical to health care providers.
