Children with ADHD need role models for good behavior.
Question: If I have a latex allergy, does it affect my doctor appointments?
Answer: These include: Latex Product Alternative Balloons Mylar balloons Baby toys Plastic or cloth toys Bottle nipples Silicone nipples Condoms Sheep cecum condoms (for birth control only) Elastic bands Paper clips, string, or twine Household gloves Synthetic or cotton gloves Raincoat Nylon or synthetic waterproof coats Shoes with rubber Leather or synthetic shoes Telephone cords Clear cords Tell them about your latex allergy at least 24 hours before your appointment. The hospital or doctor's office should have a plan in place so that they can treat you without exposing you to latex. If you have to stay in the hospital, you'll usually be given your own room, free of products that might give you a reaction.
Question: How do doctors diagnose latex allergy?
Answer: Doctors diagnose a latex allergy in people who: Have had symptoms of an allergic reaction -- like a skin rash, hives, eye tearing or irritation, wheezing, itching, or trouble breathing -- when exposed to latex or a natural rubber product Are known to be at risk for a latex allergy and blood or skin tests show that they have it, even if they haven't had symptoms. If you need a skin test to check on a latex allergy, an allergy specialist must supervise it, in case you have a severe reaction.
Question: Who is likely to get a latex allergy?
Answer: Other people who are more likely than most people to get it include those who have: A defect in their bone marrow cells A deformed bladder or urinary tract Had more than one operation A urinary catheter, which has a rubber tip Allergy, asthma, or eczema Food allergies to bananas, avocados, kiwis, or chestnuts Rubber industry workers and people who use condoms are also more likely than others to get a latex allergy.
Question: How can a latex allergy become worse?
Answer: Symptoms can start up to 4 days after you've come in contact with latex. Ask your doctor if you need to avoid them. Many items have latex in them. You may need to ask product makers to be sure. If you have to stay in the hospital, you'll usually be given your own room, free of products that might give you a reaction.
Question: What causes latex allergic reactions?
Answer: Doctors don't know what causes it. Coming in contact with latex and rubber products over and over may be part of the reason why it happens. Home goods that are made with latex include: Rubber sink stoppers and sink mats Rubber or rubber-grip utensils Rubber electrical cords or water hoses Bath mats and floor rugs that have rubber backing Toothbrushes with rubber grips or handles Rubber tub toys Sanitary napkins (that contain rubber) Condoms and diaphragms Diapers that contain rubber Adult undergarments that contain rubber Waterproof bed pads containing rubber Undergarments, socks, and other clothing with elastic bands that contain rubber Adhesives such as glue, paste, art supplies, glue pens Older Barbie dolls and other dolls that are made of rubber Rubber bands, mouse and keyboard cords, desktop and chair pads, rubber stamps Mouse and wrist pads containing rubber Keyboards and calculators with rubber keys or switches Pens with comfort grip or any rubber coating Remote controllers for TVs or recording devices with rubber grips or keys Camera, telescope, or binocular eye pieces Bathing caps and elastic in bathing suits Outside the home, latex is also in many items, such as: Grocery store checkout belts Restaurants where workers use latex gloves to prepare food Some balloons Car races that give off tire and rubber particles ATM machine buttons made of rubber Medical products containing latex include: Tourniquets Blood pressure pads EKG pads Some adhesive bandages Dental devices There are many better-bets you can choose instead of latex.
Question: How does coconut oil treat psoriasis symptoms?
Answer: It can: Moisturize Help with inflammation Kill bacteria When you put VCO on your skin, it can help hold in moisture, ease redness and swelling, and keep certain bacteria from growing. Studies show VCO can help with symptoms of eczema (atopic dermatitis), a skin condition that looks a lot like psoriasis. Eczema and psoriasis share many of the same symptoms and even have some of the same triggers. Psoriasis scales tend to be thicker than patches of eczema, but both need moisturizing treatment to help with dryness, scaling, and itching. So even though they're different conditions, VCO can help with both.
Question: Are there different types of coconut oil?
Answer: It has two forms: refined and unrefined or virgin. Refined coconut oil comes from dried coconut. The oil is taken out under high heat and then goes through a bleaching and deodorizing process. It doesn't smell like coconut -- it has a neutral odor. In the kitchen, you can use it for sautÃ©ing, stir-frying, and baking. Unrefined coconut oil comes from fresh coconut fruit. The process doesn't involve high temperatures, which is why you might see it called "cold-pressed." Virgin coconut oil smells like coconuts. You can use it to bake and cook, just like refined coconut oil, but it's best for dishes cooked at lower temperatures.
Question: What is the recommended daily allowance for vitamin E?
Answer: Recommended daily allowance: 22.5 international units/day.
Question: What is the safe upper limit for vitamin E?
Answer: Safe upper limit: 1,500 IU Potential risks: Vitamin E can thin your blood, and may increase the risk of hemorrhagic stroke.
Question: How long does an exercise stress test last?
Answer: Foods with vitamin E: Cereal with wheat germ 27 IU Almonds (1 oz) 11 IU Sunflower seeds (1 oz) 11 IU Hazelnuts (1 oz) 6.4 IU Peanut butter (1 tablespoon) 4 IU Peanuts (1 oz) 3.6 IU
Question: What are potential risks of taking vitamin E?
Answer: Safe upper limit: 1,500 IU Potential risks: Vitamin E can thin your blood, and may increase the risk of hemorrhagic stroke. If you're taking a blood-thinning medication, talk to your doctor before taking a vitamin E supplement. One recent study showed increased mortality in people taking more than 2,000 international units of vitamin E. Other possible side effects cited in studies include fatigue, muscle weakness, and decreased thyroid gland function.
Question: Does vitamin E help your eyes?
Answer: Eye-related benefits: The Age- Related Eye Disease Study ( AREDS) found that vitamin E, along with other nutrients, helped some people who had moderate age-related macular degeneration. However, other studies have not found that vitamin E is important for vision, so more research is needed. It's important to talk to your doctor before taking vitamin E supplements in order to discuss the right dose, possible side effects, as well as other treatments.
Question: What is ALK Rearrangement in non-small-cell lung cancer?
Answer: ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase) is a gene that tells your body how to make proteins that help cells talk to each other. If you have lung cancer with an ALK rearrangement, part of this gene is broken and attached to another gene. Doctors call changes in genes like this mutations. This one boosts your odds of several types of cancers, including lung cancer. You may hear your doctor call it ALK-positive.
Question: How often will I see my doctor if I have non-small-cell lung cancer?
Answer: This also depends on the stage of your cancer. Your health care team will let you know how often you should come in for checkups. Keep all your appointments so your doctors can keep up with how you feel and how well your treatment is working. He may order regular follow-up tests, like: Blood work Lung tests Imaging tests to take pictures of the inside of your body, like CT scans or chest X-rays Scientists are looking for new ways to fight lung cancer.
Question: Can a clinical trial help treat non-small-cell lung cancer?
Answer: He may order regular follow-up tests, like: Blood work Lung tests Imaging tests to take pictures of the inside of your body, like CT scans or chest X-rays Scientists are looking for new ways to fight lung cancer. A clinical trial may be a good option if what you're doing isn't working, especially if you have stage IV cancer. Ask your doctor about any clinical trials for ALK-positive lung cancer. Clinicaltrials.gov is another good place to try. Try typing " ALK-positive lung cancer" in the search box. Remember, you're at the heart of your health care team. Taking a proactive approach to care and treatment can help you feel more in control. Deciding on the right treatment for cancer is a personal choice. It's OK to ask questions if you're not sure how a medicine or therapy might affect you, and to tell your doctor how you're really doing -- physically and emotionally. It's normal to have strong feelings when you're dealing with cancer. Your doctor can put you in touch with a counselor and support group so you can talk to people who understand what you're going through.
Question: What are side effects of ALK inhibitors used to treat lung cancer?
Answer: Like all medicines, these drugs can cause other problems. The most common include: Diarrhea Fatigue Nausea Vomiting Blurry vision These side effects are usually mild, but not always. Stomach problems tend to be more severe with ceritinib. In rare cases, some people have to stop taking the drug.
Question: Should my doctor run an EKG test before taking drugs for non-small-cell lung cancer?
Answer: Before you take these drugs, your doctor should do an EKG to test your heart. ALK inhibitors have been linked to changes in the heartbeat or heart rate that aren't explained by other health problems or medications.
Question: Will I need other specific treatments to treat non-small-cell lung cancer?
Answer: This depends on how far your cancer has spread. If it has reached your brain, your doctor might suggest surgery or radiation. But newer ALK inhibitors are helping to reduce this need. Your doctor will prescribe other treatments to keep you as comfortable as possible. These often include: Medicines to ease your pain, shortness of breath, and other symptoms Procedures to remove fluid buildup from around your lungs to help you breathe better Be sure to tell your doctor about all your symptoms so you get the right treatments.
Question: Are there treatments for non-small-cell lung cancer?
Answer: Medicines called ALK inhibitors are the main kind. These drugs block the abnormal ALK protein and shrink lung tumors linked to it. Your doctor might call this âtargeted therapyâ because it zooms in on the cancer cells and disrupts their growth. You should only take these drugs if a FISH test shows you have the mutation.
Question: What are the symptoms of lung cancer?
Answer: Lung cancer may not cause problems until you've had it long enough for it to spread to other parts of your body. But talk to your doctor if you have: A cough that doesn't go away Chest pain that gets worse with deep breathing, coughing, or laughing Hoarseness Weight loss without trying and loss of appetite Coughing up blood Shortness of breath A weak or tired feeling Wheezing When cancer spreads, as it has by the time it gets to stage IV, it can cause: Bone pain Problems related to your brain and nerves, like headaches, weakness or numbness in your arms or legs, dizziness, balance problems, or seizures Yellowed eyes or skin Lumps near the surface of your skin If you have non-small-cell lung cancer, your doctor should test you for the ALK genetic mutation.
Question: What other treatments might you need for stage IV lung cancer with ALK rearrangement?
Answer: This depends on how far your cancer has spread. If it has reached your brain, your doctor might suggest surgery or radiation. But newer ALK inhibitors are helping to reduce this need. Your doctor will prescribe other treatments to keep you as comfortable as possible. These often include: Medicines to ease your pain, shortness of breath, and other symptoms Procedures to remove fluid buildup from around your lungs to help you breathe better Be sure to tell your doctor about all your symptoms so you get the right treatments.
Question: What is non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC)?
Answer: More than half of the people who have lung cancer don't find out until the disease is in later stages.
Question: What are the side effects of treatment for stage IV lung cancer with ALK rearrangement?
Answer: Like all medicines, these drugs can cause other problems. The most common include: Diarrhea Fatigue Nausea Vomiting Blurry vision These side effects are usually mild, but not always. Stomach problems tend to be more severe with ceritinib. In rare cases, some people have to stop taking the drug. A small number of people get pneumonitis, an inflammation of the tissue in the walls of the lungs. It can be life-threatening. If you get it, your doctor will likely tell you to stop taking the drug.
Question: What is the most common type of lung cancer?
Answer: Non-small-cell lung cancer ( NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer.

Question: What are ALK inhibitors are used to treat lung cancer?
Answer: Doctors call changes in genes like this mutations. This test doesn't check your DNA makeup. These drugs won't cure you, but they should improve quality of life. ALK inhibitors include alectinib ( Alecensa), brigatinib ( Alunbrig), ceritinib ( Zykadia), crizotinib ( Xalkori), and lorlatinib ( Lorbrena). These are pills that you take once or twice a day. After a few years, the medicine may stop working. This is called resistance. If this happens, or if the cancer spreads, you may need to switch to another ALK inhibitor.
Question: How is non-small-cell lung cancer diagnosed?
Answer: Non-small-cell lung cancer ( NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer. This will help find the best treatment for you. Most doctors use a test called FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization). Your doctor will take a sample of the tumor during a process called a biopsy and send it to a lab. Scientists will check the tumor's DNA for signs of the gene mix-up. Your doctor will also run tests to see how far the cancer has spread. You'll get imaging tests to take pictures of other organs and body structures. Your doctor might start you on chemotherapy before you get tested for the ALK rearrangement.
Question: What does it mean if I have Stage IV lung cancer?
Answer: Staging means how far the cancer has spread to other body parts. Stage IV is the most advanced form. It means the disease has spread to distant parts of your body, such as your liver or brain. This type is very hard to cure. More than half of the people who have lung cancer don't find out until the disease is in later stages. This also depends on the stage of your cancer.
Question: What should you know about chemotherapy for stage IV lung cancer with ALK rearrangement?
Answer: If you get it, your doctor will likely tell you to stop taking the drug. If the cancer does spread, your doctor may switch you to an ALK inhibitor. Your doctor will prescribe other treatments to keep you as comfortable as possible.

Question: What does stage IV lung cancer mean?
Answer: Knowing this helps your doctor plan your treatment options. The higher the stage number, the more the widespread your cancer is. Stage IV is the most advanced form. It means the disease has spread to distant parts of your body, such as your liver or brain. This type is very hard to cure. More than half of the people who have lung cancer don't find out until the disease is in later stages. So if you have symptoms, see a doctor. This depends on how far your cancer has spread.
Question: What are treatments for ingrown nails?
Answer: Unless the ingrowing piece of nail is removed, the problem will often persist. Permanent removal of the nail root at the ingrown side may be advised if ingrown nails recur. These procedures are done in the doctor's office or surgery center under a local anesthetic. Sometimes an ingrown nail is caused by a fungus. A doctor can determine if you have a fungus and then offer treatment options.
Question: How can ingrown nails be avoided?
Answer: Most ingrown nail problems can be prevented with proper grooming of the toes and by wearing better-fitting shoes. Try to reduce pressure on the toe by wearing sandals or by not wearing a shoe for several days. Avoid trimming the corner of the toenail unless you can easily see and clip the corner of the nail. Otherwise, this can lead to a worsening of the ingrown toenail.
Question: How should you treat and prevent symptoms of a rash on a child?
Answer: Trim your child's fingernails to help prevent scratching. Put soft gloves on your child at night to avoid scratching.
Question: When should you call a doctor about a rash on a child?
Answer: Your child: Is younger than 6 months Has a fever along with a rash Has a rash that oozes or appears red, swollen, or wet, which could be an infection Has a rash that goes past the diaper area Has a rash that is more serious in skin creases Has a rash that doesn't get better after 2 days Has a rash that peels, especially one on the palms or soles Has flat, small red spots on the skin that don't fade if you press them Looks unwell or is not feeding well Has hives Has bruises not due to an injury Try to figure out whether the rash is due to coming into contact with a common irritant such as poison ivy, chemicals, soaps, nickel jewelry, or a pet.
Question: How should you clean the skin around a child's rash?
Answer: Wash the rash with mild soap but don't scrub. Rinse with warm water. Pat the skin dry, rather than rubbing it. Don't cover the rash.
Question: What other proof must I provide for disability for fibromyalgia?
Answer: Describing your fibromyalgia symptoms alone will not qualify you for Social Security disability. You have to be specific about signs and physical findings related to fibromyalgia and pain and how that impacts your ability to work. The Social Security staff will consider all your symptoms, including pain. All of this information considered together must lead to a conclusion that you are disabled before you will be granted disability with benefits. If more detailed information is needed, you may have to be examined by a doctor approved by the Social Security Administration.
Question: What should I do if I'm not approved for disability for fibromyalgia?
Answer: If you are not approved, you'll have the right to appeal before a judge who specializes in these cases. Some patients with fibromyalgia find it necessary to have the help of an attorney during the appeal process. Although it may increase your costs, the chance your case will be approved is usually better if you have legal counsel.
Question: How should employers address migraine headaches due to fibromyalgia?
Answer: To address concentration issues, employers should consider: Providing written job instructions when possible Prioritizing job assignments and providing more structure Allowing flexible work hours and allowing a self-paced workload Allowing periodic rest periods to reorient Providing memory aids, such as schedulers or organizers Minimizing distractions Reducing job stress To address depression and anxiety, employers should consider: Reducing distractions in the work environment Providing to-do lists and written instructions Reminding the employee of important deadlines and meetings Allowing time off for counseling Providing clear expectations of responsibilities and consequences Providing sensitivity training to coworkers Allowing breaks to use stress management techniques Developing strategies to deal with work problems before they arise Allowing telephone calls during work hours to doctors and others for support Providing information on counseling and employee assistance programs To address fatigue and weakness, employers should consider: Reducing or eliminating physical exertion and workplace stress Scheduling periodic rest breaks away from the workstation Allowing a flexible work schedule and flexible use of leave time Allowing the employee to work from home Implementing ergonomic workstation design To address migraine headaches, employers should consider: Providing task lighting Eliminating fluorescent lighting Providing air purification devices Allowing flexible work hours and work from home Allowing periodic rest breaks To address issues associated with sleep problems, employers should consider: Allowing flexible work hours and frequent breaks Allowing the employee to work from home The Americans with Disabilities Act ( ADA) does not contain a list of medical conditions that constitute disabilities.
Question: Are there workplace modification guidelines for people with fibromyalgia?
Answer: People with fibromyalgia can use the following lists when talking with their employer about making modifications. The lists come from the U. S. Department of Labor's Job Accommodation Network. They contain recommendations for accommodations employers should be willing to consider for employees with fibromyalgia.
