Your doctor likely will put your sprain at one of three "grades" based on the amount of damage: Grade 1: Your ankle will probably feel sore and may be slightly swollen. In this case, the ligament has been overstretched but not torn. Grade 2: You have a partial tear in the ligament. This causes prolonged pain and swelling. It might prevent you from putting your full weight on the ankle. You may also notice bruising. This is because the tear has caused bleeding under your skin. Grade 3: This is a full tear of the ankle ligament. You may have heard a popping sound when it happened. This level of sprain causes severe pain, swelling and bruising. Because the ligament is no longer able to do its job, your ankle will feel unstable and will be unable to support any of your weight.

output: The third group of antidepressants, the monoamine oxidase inhibitors ( MAOIs), like phenelzine ( Nardil), tranylcypromine ( Parnate) and the skin patch EMSAM, have also proved effective. MAOIs may sometimes work more quickly than the TCAs, but they require avoiding certain foods (such as aged meats and cheeses) and certain other medicines that can also affect serotonin or raise blood pressure. MAOIs are usually prescribed only if the SSRIs and the TCAs or other depression medicines that can be simpler to take fail to bring improvement.

Psychotherapy is an important part of treatment for depression.

system: How does a urea breath test check for H. pylori?
output: H. pylori produces an enzyme called urease, which breaks urea down into ammonia and carbon dioxide. During the test, a tablet containing urea is swallowed and the amount of exhaled carbon dioxide is measured. This indicates the presence of H. pylori in the stomach.
system: What is idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)?
output: Your lungs each contain about 300 million tiny air sacs that fill up with oxygen every time you breathe. In healthy lungs, the walls of these air sacs are very thin, so that oxygen and carbon dioxide can easily pass through them. When you have IPF, scar tissue forms on the air sac walls and in the spaces around them, making them thick and hard. Doctors believe that the scarring is caused by something in the body that attacks the lungs over and over, but they don't know what or why.
system: What does idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) feel like?
output: This scarring makes it harder for air to pass in and out of the sacs. That's why you feel out of breath. If you have IPF, you may have rapid, shallow breathing or a dry, hacking cough that doesn't go away. When a doctor listens to your breathing through a stethoscope, he may hear a crackling noise in your lungs. You may also get "clubbing" -- a widening and rounding of your fingertips and toes. You may feel unusually tired or achy, or gradually lose weight without trying.
system: Who can get idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)?
output: Doctors use it when they can't pinpoint the cause of a condition. IPF can run in families. Some people with the disease have one or more relatives who have it. In these cases, it's known as familial IPF. Nowadays doctors are able to diagnose IPF more quickly than before.
system: What conditions are linked to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)?
output: Researchers believe some things you may have breathed in could be linked to IPF. So are some infections, such as the flu, Epstein- Barr virus (which causes mononucleosis), hepatitis, and herpes. These things may increase your risk of the disease, although they are not direct causes. People with IPF may also have gastroesophageal reflux disease ( GERD), also known as acid reflux. Scientists don't know if one disease causes the other, but they suspect that people with GERD may breathe tiny drops of stomach acid into their lungs, which can cause damage over time.
