Question: Who can get macular dystrophy?
Answer: There are two types of macular retinal dystrophy. A form called Best disease usually appears in childhood and causes different amounts of vision loss. The second usually affects you in mid-adulthood. It causes vision loss that slowly gets worse. People with Best disease usually have a parent who has it. Parents pass the gene on to their children. It's less clear how adult-onset macular retinal dystrophy is passed from parent to child. You may not have any other family members with the condition.
Question: What you need to know about macular dystrophy?
Answer: Macular retinal dystrophy is a rare genetic eye disorder that causes vision loss. Macular retinal dystrophy affects the back of your eye, or retina. It leads to cell damage in an area called the macula, which controls how you see what's out in front of you. When it happens, you have trouble seeing straight ahead. This makes it tough to read, drive, or do other daily activities that require you to look straight ahead. It's caused by a pigment that builds up in the macula's cells. Over time, this substance can damage cells that play a key role in clear central vision. Your sight gets blurry or warped. But your side, or peripheral, vision isn't harmed.
Question: Who gets macular dystrophy?
Answer: People with Best disease usually have a parent who has it. Parents pass the gene on to their children. It's less clear how adult-onset macular retinal dystrophy is passed from parent to child. You may not have any other family members with the condition.
Question: What causes macular dystrophy?
Answer: It's caused by a pigment that builds up in the macula's cells. Over time, this substance can damage cells that play a key role in clear central vision. Changes in the BEST1 gene cause Best disease and sometimes adult-onset macular retinal dystrophy. Mutations in the PRPH2 gene cause adult-onset macular retinal dystrophy. We don't know how these gene changes cause pigment buildup in the macula. Doctors also don't know why only central vision is harmed.
Question: How many cases of cancer are due to adenoid cystic carcinoma?
Answer: Of the 500,000 people who get cancer each year, about 1,200 of them have adenoid cystic carcinoma. It affects more women than men, and it can happen at any age between your teens and your 80s.
Question: What are the types of radiation treatment for adenoid cystic carcinoma?
Answer: There are three main kinds: External beam radiation focuses high-energy X-rays or protons on cancer cells to destroy them. Your doctor will try to do as little damage as possible to the surrounding parts of your body. Internal radiation therapy is also known as brachytherapy. Your doctor will put small radioactive "seeds" at or near the tumor. This is often used when cancer has spread to the lungs. The radioactivity of the seeds lessens after a few weeks. Neutron therapy can target small tumors by heating up the cells with 100 times more energy than regular radiation treatment. That often kills cancer cells while letting the normal cells around them recover.
Question: What is treatment for adenoid cystic carcinoma?
Answer: The usual treatment for adenoid cystic carcinoma is surgery followed by radiation treatments. When you have surgery, your doctor will remove not only the tumor but also some of the healthy tissue around it. He'll look at that tissue to make sure the cancer hasn't spread beyond the tumor.
Question: What are side effects of radiation therapy for adenoid cystic carcinoma?
Answer: Radiation therapy focused on your head and neck has side effects that can include dry mouth, difficulty swallowing, or soreness around the area that's being treated. It can also damage your teeth. Check with your doctor about these side effects and ask what she can do to help you with them.
Question: What are the symptoms of adenoid cystic carcinoma?
Answer: The first sign may be a lump inside your mouth under your tongue or inside your cheek. These lumps usually grow slowly and don't hurt. You might have some trouble swallowing, or your voice might sound hoarse. This type of cancer can spread along nerves, so you might have some pain or numbness in your face. If you notice any of these symptoms, see your doctor.
Question: What complications may make surgery for adenoid cystic carcinoma difficult?
Answer: Sometimes, part of a nerve may have to be removed to get all the cancer out. That can mean you won't be able to move part of your face or it might droop. Your doctor may try to reconnect the damaged nerve with part of another nerve so you can move the affected area. Other times, part of your windpipe or voice box has to be removed. If your doctor can't take out the entire tumor without hurting important organs, or if he's worried the cancer has spread somewhere he hasn't seen, you may have radiation treatments.
Question: Does adenoid cystic carcinoma spread to other parts of the body?
Answer: It tends to grow slowly, so it sometimes can spread to other parts of your body before you notice any symptoms. It can come back in places where it's been treated before or spread to your lungs, liver, or bones, where it's more serious.
Question: How do I know if a tumor is adenoid cystic carcinoma?
Answer: She'll take a small sample of the tumor, either after making a small cut or with a needle. A pathologist, a doctor who specializes in the study of diseases, will study the sample to look for signs of cancer. These kinds of tumors can take different forms. They can be solid or round and hollow like a tube, or cribriform, which means they have holes in them like Swiss cheese. The solid tumors usually grow faster. The usual treatment for adenoid cystic carcinoma is surgery followed by radiation treatments.
Question: What should be expected after treatment of adenoid cystic carcinoma?
Answer: Sometimes, part of a nerve may have to be removed to get all the cancer out. Tumors may come back years later, either in the same place or, more likely, somewhere else -- usually in your lungs. Most people who have adenoid cystic carcinoma live at least 5 years after their diagnosis. After your treatment, you'll need regular checkups to look for signs of new tumors. This can involve X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs, depending on your diagnosis.
Question: What is adenoid cystic carcinoma?
Answer: These are under your tongue and on each side of your jaw below the jawbone. But it also can occur in other parts of your mouth and throat or other areas of your body, such as your sweat glands or tear glands. He'll look at that tissue to make sure the cancer hasn't spread beyond the tumor.
Question: What tests are done for adenoid cystic carcinoma?
Answer: A pathologist, a doctor who specializes in the study of diseases, will study the sample to look for signs of cancer. You might have one of these tests: MRI (magnetic resonance imaging): Powerful magnets and radio waves are used to make detailed images. CT scan (computerized tomography): Several X-rays taken from different angles are put together to show more information. PET scan (positron emission tomography): Radiation is used to make 3-dimensional color images.
Question: What causes adenoid cystic carcinoma?
Answer: It may be linked to some carcinogens, like pollution or asbestos. The usual treatment for adenoid cystic carcinoma is surgery followed by radiation treatments.

Question: What are some tips to lower the amount of salt in your diet if you have diabetes?
Answer: For favorite recipes, you may need to use other ingredients and delete or decrease the salt you would normally add. You can take salt out of most recipes, but don't try it if the recipe calls for yeast. Try orange or pineapple juice as a base for meat marinades. Avoid canned soups, entrees, and vegetables; pasta and rice mixes; frozen dinners; instant cereal; and pudding, gravy, and sauce mixes. Select frozen entrees that have fewer than 600 milligrams of sodium per serving (140 mg of sodium per serving is considered low sodium). Check the nutrition facts label on the package for sodium content. Limit yourself to one frozen entree per day. Use fresh, frozen, or no-added-salt canned vegetables. You can use low-sodium canned soups. Avoid mixed seasonings and spice blends that include salt, such as garlic salt. After about 2 weeks, your body will adjust and you will not miss the added salt in your diet.

Question: What is surgical menopause?
Answer: Surgical menopause occurs when a premenopausal woman has her ovaries surgically removed in a procedure called a bilateral oophorectomy. This causes an abrupt menopause, with women often experiencing more severe menopausal symptoms than they would if they were to experience menopause naturally. In most cases, bilateral oophorectomy is performed because of cancer, including cervical, endometrial (cancer of the uterus), and ovarian cancer. However, it may occasionally be done to treat noncancerous conditions such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, or infections.
Question: What medical treatments can cause menopause?
Answer: Medical treatments such as chemotherapy and pelvic radiation therapy can cause menopause by damaging the ovaries. However, not all premenopausal women undergoing these procedures will experience induced menopause. Additionally, even if the ovaries are damaged, the damage is not always permanent.
Question: How does menopause vary?
Answer: Some women experience induced menopause as a result of surgery or medical treatments, such as chemotherapy and pelvic radiation therapy.
Question: What is natural menopause?
Answer: For women undergoing natural menopause, the process is described in three stages: perimenopause (premenopause), menopause, and postmenopause. Additionally, even if the ovaries are damaged, the damage is not always permanent.
Question: Aside from medication, are there other treatments for intractable hiccups?
Answer: Hypnosis Acupuncture If none of these treatments is effective, your doctor may suggest surgery. The procedure could temporarily or permanently block the phrenic nerve in the neck. The phrenic nerve runs from the spinal cord to the diaphragm, causing it to contract and relax. This step is usually only taken when all other therapies have failed.
Question: Are there things that can trigger intracable hiccups?
Answer: Treatments to stop intractable hiccups can involve medications, non-medical therapies, or surgery.
Question: What medications are used to treat intractable hiccups?
Answer: All medications used for hiccups can cause side effects, so talk to your doctor about which one may be the best one for you. Medications used to treat intractable hiccups include: Baclofen ( Gablofen, Lioresal) a muscle relaxant Chlorpromazine a medicine used to treat psychiatric illnesses Haloperidol, a type of tranquilizer Metoclopramide ( Reglan), used to treat problems in the esophagus and GERD Anticonvulsant drugs such as phenytoin, valproic acid ( Depakene, Depakote, Depakote ® ER, Depakote ® Sprinkle), gabapentin ( Horizant, Neurontin), and carbamazepine ( Carbatrol, Epitol, Equetro, Tegretol) Sedatives Pain medication Stimulants Your doctor may prescribe one of these medications for several weeks, raising the dose until your hiccups decrease.
Question: What are the health problems related to having hiccups for a long time?
Answer: It has also been known to cause irregular heartbeat and gastroesophageal reflux disease (also known as GERD), which occurs when the contents of your stomach come back up into your esophagus or mouth. Finding a cause for your intractable hiccups may be a long process.
Question: What are persistent of protracted hiccups?
Answer: In extraordinarily rare cases, hiccups can last for more than a month.
Question: How can you treat intractable hiccups?
Answer: They can also be associated with hundreds of conditions including the following: Diseases affecting the diaphragm (the muscle separating the chest and abdominal cavities), pneumonia, and pleurisy (a condition affecting the pleura, the inside membrane of the chest cavity and tissue around the lungs) Brain infections, injuries, tumors, or strokes Metabolic disorders (when your body can't break down certain nutrients into energy, causing a buildup) Gastrointestinal diseases affecting the esophagus, stomach, or small or large intestines Psychological problems such as hysteria, shock, fear, and certain mental conditions Liver problems Kidney disorders Medications including chemotherapy, benzodiazepines (type of depressants), corticosteroids (used to treat inflammation), barbiturates (type of depressants), morphine (pain medication), and anesthetics (make you unconscious or relieve pain) Surgery The most effective way to stop intractable hiccups is to find the root medical cause and address that issue. Treatments to stop intractable hiccups can involve medications, non-medical therapies, or surgery. Self-help techniques, such as sipping ice water, holding your breath, biting a lemon, swallowing sugar, breathing into a paper bag, or pulling your knees to your chest are usually tried first if no correctable cause can be found. Your treatment will depend on your case and your medical needs.
