Question: What do I need to know about bladder stones?
Answer: Sometimes, they don't cause any symptoms and pass out of your body on their own. You may never even know you had one. But more often, they cause pain or other problems when you pee. When that happens, you have to get them removed. The two most common are: Larger-than-usual prostate. Aside from that, make sure to drink plenty of water to help keep the minerals in your urine from turning into crystals and forming bladder stones.
Question: How are bladder stones treated?
Answer: It may sound a little odd, but you really can get stones in your bladder. Sometimes, they don't cause any symptoms and pass out of your body on their own. As men age, the prostate usually gets bigger and can squeeze the urethra, the tube that carries pee out of the body. Some people get this to help with a problem called incontinence, where you can't control when you pee. This surgery can make you more likely to get bladder stones. You may then have: Cystoscopy. If you have small bladder stones, you might be able to drink a lot of water to get them to pass through on their own. If the stones are too large to break up, you may need to have surgery to open your bladder and remove them.
Question: What are common issues that can stop your bladder from emptying?
Answer: The two most common are: Larger-than-usual prostate. Nerve damage. Also called neurogenic bladder, it means your bladder's nerves don't work like they normally would. This can lead to urine left in there. Part of the bladder wall gets weak and drops into the vagina, which can block the flow of urine. When that happens, you might: Have blood in your urine Feel burning or pain when you pee Find it hard to pee, or that you're going in stops and starts Have pain in your lower belly -- and for men, in your penis and testicles Go more than usual, especially at night See urine that's cloudy or darker than normal Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and start with a physical exam, feeling your lower belly to check your bladder.
Question: What causes bladder stones?
Answer: Once you do, your bladder should be empty. But some health issues can prevent that from happening, and you end up with urine left in your bladder. Then, some of the substances in the urine start to stick together and form crystals until they form a bladder stone. If the stones are too large to break up, you may need to have surgery to open your bladder and remove them.
Question: How should I treat symptoms of insect bites and stings in children?
Answer: Remove any tight jewelry from the area of the bite or sting. It could be hard to get off once the area swells. Ice the area for 10 minutes and then remove the ice for 10 minutes. Then repeat. If the sting was on an arm or leg, elevate the area. Pain relievers that are formulated for babies or children, such as acetaminophen ( Tylenol) or ibuprofen ( Advil, Motrin) can help. Be sure to follow the dosing instructions on the bottle. If your child is under the recommended age, call a pediatrician.

Answer: Honeybees and yellow jackets are the only insects that leave a stinger in the skin. Scrape the area with a fingernail or credit card to remove it. Don't pinch the stinger with your fingers or tweezers -- that can inject more venom.
Question: What is dermatitis herpetiformis (DH)?
Answer: DH, also known Duhring's disease, causes blisters that look like herpes, but the condition doesn't come from the herpes virus. It's linked to gluten sensitivity. If you have celiac disease and eat gluten, your intestines make an antibody called Ig A in response. This chemical flows into your bloodstream and builds up in blood vessels under your skin. It triggers the DH rash.

It's most common in people of European descent and rare among African- Americans and Asian- Americans. If tests show that you have celiac disease, your doctor will tell you to completely cut gluten out of your diet.
Question: How is dermatitis herpetiformis diagnosed?
Answer: After that, clusters of small, red bumps pop up. You may need a stitch or two to close up the site. It should heal quickly, with very little scarring. A lab will use dye to see if you have Ig A in a certain type of pattern. This tells your doctor whether you have DH. He can then also take some of your blood to test it for celiac disease. If tests show that you have celiac disease, your doctor will tell you to completely cut gluten out of your diet.

Question: What does positron emission tomography, or PET scan, for Ewing's sarcoma consist of?
Answer: Positron emission tomography scan ( PET scan): You lie inside the PET scanner while a technician injects a small amount of radioactive sugar into a vein. The cancer cells show up brighter in the scan because they use more sugar than healthy cells.
Question: How is a computed tomography scan (CAT/CT scan) used to diagnose Ewing's sarcoma?
Answer: Computed tomography scan ( CAT/ CT scan): Like you would do for an MRI, you lie flat inside a CT scanner, which takes X-ray pictures while linked to a computer. The MRI is generally preferred over the CT scan.

Question: How is a bone scan used to diagnose Ewing's sarcoma?
Answer: Bone scan: This is used to find out whether cancer cells are in your bones. A small amount of radioactive dye is injected into one of your veins. The dye will collect in the bones that have tumors. When you lie beneath a bone scanner, the doctor will be able to detect where the radioactive dye has gathered.
Question: How is radiation used to treat Ewing's sarcoma?
Answer: Radiation: In this therapy, a technician will use X-rays and other types of radiation to kill the cancer cells. This can be done using machines outside the body to deliver the dose, or through needles and tubes sent right to the tumor.
Question: How is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) used to diagnose Ewing's sarcoma?
Answer: The dye will collect in the bones that have tumors. When you lie beneath a bone scanner, the doctor will be able to detect where the radioactive dye has gathered. Magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI): For this test, you lie flat and still on a surface that slides you inside the tube-shaped MRI machine. It uses magnetic field and radio waves to create a detailed, 3- D image inside your body.
Question: How is a positron emission tomography scan (PET scan) used to diagnose Ewing's sarcoma?
Answer: Positron emission tomography scan ( PET scan): You lie inside the PET scanner while a technician injects a small amount of radioactive sugar into a vein. The cancer cells show up brighter in the scan because they use more sugar than healthy cells.

Answer: It's unclear what causes Ewing's sarcoma, as it doesn't appear to run in families. So far, research suggests that it's not related to exposure to radiation, chemicals, or other outside things in the environment. It appears that the cell DNA changes after birth, leading to Ewing's sarcoma. Why that happens remains unknown. One possibility is that it could be a second cancer in people who've been treated with radiation for another type of cancer.

Answer: Causes include: Fatigue Stress Bright light, wind, or air pollution It starts with nonstop blinking or eye irritation.
Question: What is a hemifacial spasm?
Answer: It involves both the muscles around your mouth and your eyelid. Unlike the other two types, it usually affects only one side of the face. Most often, the cause is an artery pressing on a facial nerve.
