Question: What is a carcinoembryonic antigen test?
Answer: One way they can do that is with a carcinoembryonic antigen test. It measures a protein called CEA in the blood. People with some types of cancers have higher than normal levels of this substance. This test helps your doctor find out if yours has grown and whether your treatment has worked. You might get the test: After your diagnosis to help your doctor find the right treatment During treatment to see how well chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, or other therapies have worked After treatment to help find out whether the cancer has come back You don't need to do anything ahead of time. Sometimes doctors will test CEA levels in another bodily fluid, such as: Cerebrospinal (from the spine) Peritoneal (from the abdomen) Pleural (from the area next to the lungs) You may need to go to a hospital for these tests.

Question: How often does atrial fibrillation (AFib) occur?
Answer: Some people have no symptoms. If you have them, you might feel: Fast, irregular heartbeat Fluttering, thumping, or flip-flopping in your chest Shortness of breath Dizziness Lack of energy when you exercise Weakness Fatigue Lightheadedness Confusion Chest pain Some people have AFib every once in a while. Symptoms might last for a few minutes or a few hours. Then things return to normal. Other people have AFib often and need treatment to get their heartbeat to return to a normal sinus rhythm. Go to the ER if you have symptoms. AFib won't cause a heart attack in a healthy heart, but it does raise your odds of having a stroke. And timely treatment, usually with a medication called a blood thinner (your doctor may call it an anticoagulant), can prevent strokes.
Question: Can turf toe be prevented?
Answer: One way to prevent turf toe is to wear shoes with better support to help keep the toe joint from excessive bending and force with pushing off. You may also want to consider using specially designed inserts that your doctor or physical therapist can prescribe for you. A physical therapist or a specialist in sports medicine can also work with you on correcting any problems in your gait that can lead to injury and on developing training techniques to help reduce the chance of injury.
Question: How is turf toe diagnosed?
Answer: To diagnose turf toe, the doctor will ask you to explain as much as you can about how you injured your foot and may ask you about your occupation, your participation in sports, the type of shoes you wear, and your history of foot problems. The doctor will then examine your foot, noting the pattern and location of any swelling and comparing the injured foot to the uninjured one. The doctor will likely ask for an X-ray to rule out any other damage or fracture. In certain circumstances, the doctor may ask for other imaging tests such as a bone scan, CT scan, or MRI. The diagnosis will then be made based on the results of the physical examination and imaging tests.
Question: What is turf toe?
Answer: Turf toe is a sprain to the ligaments around the big toe joint, which works primarily as a hinge to permit up and down motion. Just behind the big toe joint in the ball of your foot are two pea-shaped bones embedded in the tendon that moves your big toe called sesamoids. It is most commonly seen in athletes playing on artificial surfaces, which are harder than grass surfaces and to which cleats are more likely to stick.

Question: What is the starfish sleeping position?
Answer: You're on your back for this one, too, but your legs are spread apart and your arms are bent up on either side of your head. Like "soldier," this position can help with acid reflux, but it also makes you more likely to snore and can aggravate sleep apnea.
Question: What is the fetal sleeping position?
Answer: The most popular way to sleep is favored by more than 4 out of 10 people, especially among women, who are twice as likely as men to sleep curled up on their side. For the most part, it's a healthy way to doze, because it allows your spine to rest in its natural alignment. The fetal position might also help ward off conditions like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's: Recent research on animals suggests that your brain does a better job of clearing waste that can lead to these neurological diseases when you're sleeping on your side rather than on your back or stomach. This position's also good for pregnant women. You should stick to lying on your left side while expecting. It improves circulation to your growing baby and prevents your uterus from pressing against your liver.

Question: What are some additional symptoms of subdural hematoma?
Answer: Symptoms of subdural hematoma can include: Headache Confusion Change in behavior Dizziness Nausea and vomiting Lethargy or excessive drowsiness Weakness Apathy Seizures People may vary widely in their symptoms of subdural hematoma.
Question: How is subdural hematoma diagnosed?
Answer: People who come to medical attention after a head injury often undergo head imaging, usually with computed tomography ( CT scan) or magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI scan). These tests create images of the interior of the skull, usually detecting any subdural hematoma present. MRI is slightly superior to CT in detecting subdural hematoma, but CT is faster and more readily available. Rarely, angiography may be used to diagnose subdural hematoma. During angiography (angiogram), a catheter is inserted through an artery in the groin and threaded into the arteries of he neck and brain. Special dye is then injected, and an X-ray screen shows blood flow through the arteries and veins.
Question: What techniques are used to treat subdural hematomas?
Answer: More severe or dangerous subdural hematomas require surgery to reduce the pressure on the brain. Surgeons can use various techniques to treat subdural hematomas: Burr hole trephination. A hole is drilled in the skull over the area of the subdural hematoma, and the blood is suctioned out through the hole. Craniotomy. A larger section of the skull is removed, to allow better access to the subdural hematoma and reduce pressure. The removed skull is replaced shortly after the procedure. Craniectomy. A section of the skull is removed for an extended period of time, to allow the injured brain to expand and swell without permanent damage. Craniectomy is not often used to treat subdural hematoma. People with severe subdural hematomas are often seriously ill, requiring machine-supported breathing and other forms of life support.
Question: What causes a subdural hematoma?
Answer: Subdural hematoma is usually caused by a head injury, such as from a fall, motor vehicle collision, or an assault. The sudden blow to the head tears blood vessels that run along the surface of the brain. This is referred to as an acute subdural hematoma. People with a bleeding disorder and people who take blood thinners are more likely to develop a subdural hematoma. A relatively minor head injury can cause subdural hematoma in people with a bleeding tendency. In a chronic subdural hematoma, small veins on the outer surface of the brain may tear, causing bleeding in the subdural space. Symptoms may not be apparent for several days or weeks. Elderly people are at higher risk for chronic subdural hematoma because brain shrinkage causes these tiny veins to be more stretched and more vulnerable to tearing.
Question: What are the symptoms of subdural hematoma?
Answer: Symptoms of subdural hematoma depend mostly on the rate of bleeding: In head injuries with sudden, severe bleeding causing a subdural hematoma, a person may lose consciousness and become comatose immediately. A person may appear normal for days after a head injury, but slowly become confused and then unconscious several days later. This results from a slower rate of bleeding, causing a slowly enlarging subdural hematoma. In very slow-growing subdural hematomas, there may be no noticeable symptoms for more than two weeks after the bleeding starts. Symptoms of subdural hematoma can include: Headache Confusion Change in behavior Dizziness Nausea and vomiting Lethargy or excessive drowsiness Weakness Apathy Seizures People may vary widely in their symptoms of subdural hematoma.
Question: How are subdural hematomas treated?
Answer: Treatment of subdural hematomas depends on their severity. Treatment can range from watchful waiting to brain surgery. In small subdural hematomas with mild symptoms, doctors may recommend no specific treatment other than observation. Repeated head imaging tests are often performed to monitor whether the subdural hematoma is improving.
Question: What is used to improve blood clotting caused by subdural hematomas?
Answer: If a person has a bleeding problem or is taking blood thinners, measures should be taken to improve blood clotting. This may include giving medicines or blood products, and reversal of any blood thinners, when possible. Other medications to help reduce swelling or pressure in the brain or control seizures may also be used.
Question: When should I get medical help if a person faints?
Answer: Has blue lips or face An irregular or slow heartbeat Chest pain Difficulty breathing Is difficult to awaken Acts confused Lay the person flat on his or her back.
