system: What is the treatment for SjÃ¶grenâs syndrome related to rheumatoid arthritis?
output: Treatment: Artificial tears are the usual treatment for dry eyes. Some people may need special eye lubricants. Severe cases may require medications to tame the inflammation. If you have dry mouth, sip water often. Suck on sugarless candies so your body will make more saliva. If your case is severe, you may need medicine for it.
system: What is the treatment for rheumatoid lung disease?
output: Treatment: The first step is to control inflammation. Your doctor may need to drain fluid around your lungs. If you have interstitial lung disease, which causes scarring, your doctor may prescribe steroids or other medications to reduce its progress. If scar tissue has built up in your lungs, it will stay, but medications may slow down the damage.
system: Is heart disease related to rheumatoid arthritis?
output: People with RA are more likely than others to get heart disease or have a stroke. It is likely related to chronic inflammation.
system: What are the symptoms of heart disease related to rheumatoid arthritis?
output: Symptoms: Heart disease doesn't always show symptoms before a crisis (like a heart attack or stroke) happens. You may have chest pain after you're active. Your doctor can check your cholesterol, blood pressure, and other things that can help predict illness.
system: Is anemia related to rheumatoid arthritis?
output: If you have this condition, you don't have enough red blood cells. Their job is to carry oxygen to all parts of your body. Many people with RA have it, and it can be treated.
system: What is osteoporosis and how is it related to rheumatoid arthritis?
output: In this condition, bones are fragile and thin, making them more likely to break. People with RA are more likely than other people to get osteoporosis. The disease may also cause bone loss, and so can some medications, like steroids. Also, if RA pain makes you less active, you might be more likely to get osteoporosis.
system: What are the symptoms of depression related to rheumatoid arthritis?
output: Symptoms may include: Deep feelings of sadness, anxiety, emptiness, hopelessness, worthlessness, and guilt Loss of interest in things you once enjoyed Insomnia Trouble concentrating or making decisions Treatment: Many people talk with a counselor and take antidepressants, if needed.
system: Is rheumatoid arthritis related to other conditions?
output: When you have RA, you're more likely to have certain other conditions. You and your doctor can work together to treat them. It's related to inflammation.
system: What is vasculitis and how is it related to rheumatoid arthritis?
output: Treatment: The first step is to control inflammation. It's most common in advanced RA. The amount of damage depends on the size of the arteries. Inflammation of small and medium arteries, like those that lead to the fingertips and nails, can harm skin and tissues. When vasculitis hits larger arteries, it can lead to nerve damage, problems using your arms or legs, or damage to your internal organs.
system: How do long-lasting schizophrenia drugs work?
output: Long-lasting drugs, which your doctor may call long-acting injectables, improve symptoms the same way as pills called antipsychotics. They change how some of your brain chemicals act.
system: What are the advantages of taking long-acting injectable drugs to treat schizophrenia?
output: Anyone who has to take a daily pill knows that it can be tough to stay on schedule. But people with schizophrenia and other serious forms of mental illness have extra challenges. They sometimes don't think they are sick, especially in the early stages of their disease. They may hear voices that persuade them not to take medication. If they do take it, they might stop as soon as their symptoms go away. In several studies, only 40% to 60% of people with schizophrenia stay on track with their daily meds.
system: What is the right medicine for someone with schizophrenia?
output: You may also have to continue taking your daily pill for the first few weeks after getting your first long-acting shot, since it will take some time for enough of the drug to get released into your body. Your doctor can help you decide what type of medicine is best. You may have to try several to find the right one for you. Whether you end up using a daily pill or a long-lasting drug, chances are there's one that can help you manage your schizophrenia or bipolar symptoms.
system: How do the side effects of daily pills differ from those associated with long-acting injectable drugs for schizophrenia?
output: Antipsychotic medicines can also make you sleepy or dizzy, and they can cause skin rashes, rapid heartbeat, blurred vision, and muscle shakiness or stiffness. Some can also make you gain weight and put you at risk for diabetes or high cholesterol. These side effects can happen whether you take the daily pill or the shot. The difference is that the long-acting type takes more time to leave your body. Your doctor can stop or change the dosage of daily medicine that's causing a bad reaction, but you'll have to wait weeks for a long-lasting drug to run its course.
system: How often does someone with schizophrenia take paliperidone?
output: These antipsychotic drugs come in a long-lasting form: Aripiprazole ( Abilify Maintena) Aripiprazole lauroxil ( Aristada) Fluphenazine ( Prolixin) Haloperidol ( Haldol) Olanzapine pamoate ( Zyprexa Relprevv) Paliperidone ( Invega Sustenna, Invega Trinza) Risperidone ( Risperdal Consta) Paliperidone also comes in a newer formula, marketed as Invega Trinza, that you take just four times a year. To get a prescription for this medicine, you first need to use Invega Sustenna, which you take monthly, for at least 4 months.
system: Which schizophrenia drugs come in a long-lasting form?
output: These antipsychotic drugs come in a long-lasting form: Aripiprazole ( Abilify Maintena) Aripiprazole lauroxil ( Aristada) Fluphenazine ( Prolixin) Haloperidol ( Haldol) Olanzapine pamoate ( Zyprexa Relprevv) Paliperidone ( Invega Sustenna, Invega Trinza) Risperidone ( Risperdal Consta) Paliperidone also comes in a newer formula, marketed as Invega Trinza, that you take just four times a year.
system: How does someone inject long-acting drugs into themselves?
output: You don't inject long-acting drugs yourself. You need to go to a doctor or a nurse, who uses a needle to put the medicine into your upper arm or buttocks. Once the medicine gets into your muscle, it's slowly released into your body over days, weeks, or months.
system: Who are long-lasting drugs for schizophrenia recommended for?
output: And because a health care professional has to give you the shot, it's easier for your doctor to know whether you're keeping up with your treatment. Generally, long-lasting drugs are recommended for people whose symptoms get better with pills or liquid meds, but who have trouble taking them every day. So they're often not prescribed until someone has had schizophrenia for several years.
system: What are some serious side effects of long-acting injectable drugs for schizophrenia?
output: You need to go to a doctor or a nurse, who uses a needle to put the medicine into your upper arm or buttocks. You'll need to make time for these appointments, and make sure you can get there and back safely. A serious side effect called post-injection delirium sedation syndrome affects less than 1% of people after taking olanzapine pamoate ( Zyprexa Relprevv), a long-acting medicine. It can cause dizziness, confusion, and movements you can't control, and it usually happens within an hour of getting a shot. Because of this small risk, you'll need to stay at your doctor's office for at least 3 hours after your shot so you can be watched for side effects.
system: How do the side effects of long-acting injectable drugs for schizophrenia end?
output: If they do take it, they might stop as soon as their symptoms go away. Before you start taking a long-lasting drug, your doctor will probably prescribe the daily pill form first, so you can be sure it works well for you.
system: What do studies suggest about long-acting schizophrenia drugs?
output: Or they may think they're well enough that they don't need them anymore. But a study from UCLA suggests that people who recently found out they have schizophrenia can benefit from long-acting drugs, too. In that study, those who got shots every two weeks were more likely to stick with their treatment plan than people who were prescribed daily pills. Very few of the people who got the shots -- just 5% -- had their symptoms come back, compared with 33% in the pill group.
system: What are the problems with taking schizophrenia drugs every day?
output: But there's a catch: A lot of folks quit their meds. Sometimes they just forget to take them. That's where long-lasting drugs can help. You need to take them as a shot only once or twice a month. But since you take them every 2 to 4 weeks (or sometimes even as long as every 3 months) instead of every day, the medicine stays in your body longer. And because a health care professional has to give you the shot, it's easier for your doctor to know whether you're keeping up with your treatment.
system: What are drying guide for a dry hair?
output: Squeeze wetness out of your hair. Rubbing a towel back and forth causes friction, which breaks your hair. Spray on a detangling, moisturizing product before using the blow dryer, flat iron, or curling iron. This protects against the heat and keeps your hair from drying out. For maximum protection, spray it on from the ends to the roots and then brush through, rather than combing, to cover hair completely. Use natural boar bristle brushes while blow drying. Hold the blow dryer 4 to 6 inches away from the brush as you style.
system: What is Fluzone?
output: Fluzone is a high-dose version for those ages 65 and older. It's better at protecting an older person's immune system. There is a âneedle-lessâ option for people ages 18 to 64: the jet injector vaccine with Afluria, which uses a tool and high pressure to deliver the vaccine.
system: How can you get the flu?
output: But you can't catch the flu from the vaccine. You can also pick it up from touching a surface -- like the restaurant table where a sick person dined before you. Flu germs can linger on places like tables, counters, desks, doorknobs, and faucets for up to 8 hours. When you touch a germy surface and put your hands on your eyes, nose, or mouth, your fingers bring the virus right into your body.
system: How are placebos used?
output: !s_sensitive, chron ID: $('article embeded_module[type=video][align=top]:eq(0)').attr('chronic_id'), continuous Play: true, cp Options: { flyout: true }, display Ads: true, mode: 'in-article', sticky: true }) }); }); } else { $(function(){ $('.responsive-video-container').remove(); }); } Researchers use placebos during studies to help them understand what effect a new drug or some other treatment might have on a particular condition. For instance, some people in a study might be given a new drug to lower cholesterol. Others would get a placebo. None of the people in the study will know if they got the real treatment or the placebo. Researchers then compare the effects of the drug and the placebo on the people in the study.
system: Is the placebo effect real?
output: The fact that the placebo effect is tied to expectations doesn't make it imaginary or fake. Some studies show that there are actual physical changes that occur with the placebo effect.
system: What is a placebo?
output: It could be a pill, a shot, or some other type of "fake" treatment. One problem with the placebo effect is that it can be difficult to distinguish from the actual effects of a real drug during a study.
system: Could strep throat and other winter illnesses affect my psoriasis?
output: If you suffer from psoriasis, an infection by bacteria and viruses can cause symptoms to flare. A strep infection, specifically, is a known trigger for guttate psoriasis, a form of the disease that causes red, droplet-shaped lesions to develop on the abdomen, back, arms, and legs. Although researchers don't know the exact cause of psoriasis, the immune system seems to play a key role in its development. Germs, illness, viruses or bacteria -- anything that temporarily revs up your immune system -- may cause your symptoms to worsen. Even something as simple as a common cold or respiratory virus may trigger a psoriasis flare. Strive to keep yourself healthy by eating a balanced diet, getting regular physical activity, getting enough rest and keeping stress levels under control.
system: Can I get a flu shot if I have psoriasis?
output: Since getting the flu may temporarily alter your immune system and could worsen your psoriasis, you're wise to think about getting immunized against the flu. There should be no problem getting a flu shot during an active psoriasis flare -- just make sure the flu vaccine you receive does not contain any live virus. Due to a risk of complication from some vaccinations for people with psoriasis, always check with a health care provider before getting your flu vaccine.
system: How can I safely get the ultraviolet light my skin needs?
output: Also, the lack of humidity in the air outside and the dry heat in most buildings during the colder months can rob your skin of the moisture it needs. Definitely don't go running off to the tanning booth -- there are safer ways to get your psoriasis-easing ultraviolet rays. The medical use of light rays to treat psoriasis is known as phototherapy. A variety of options exist, which can be done in a doctor's office, psoriasis clinic, or even the comfort of your home. The form of light known as ultraviolet light B ( UVB) seems to be the most beneficial for treating psoriasis. Your doctor may prescribe a certain amount of UVB exposure depending on your symptoms. If your doctor does choose this form of light therapy for your psoriasis, ask whether you should consider purchasing a home UVB unit. Other phototherapy options for psoriasis treatment include the use of ultraviolet light A ( UVA) in conjunction with special medications that respond to these light rays. This is rarely used, however, because it can cause skin cancer. Looking for a reason to take a getaway to some tropical locale?
system: Why do my psoriasis signs and symptoms get worse in the fall and winter?
output: Dry air and low levels of exposure to sunlight's ultraviolet rays likely cause worsening psoriasis symptoms during fall and winter. Also, the lack of humidity in the air outside and the dry heat in most buildings during the colder months can rob your skin of the moisture it needs. You may be able to alleviate dryness-related psoriasis symptoms by regularly moisturizing your skin and using a humidifier at home.
system: What is the health complication PANDAS and how is it linked to strep throat?
output: This term describes children with things such as obsessive compulsive disorder and tic disorder whose symptoms get worse after strep throat or scarlet fever.
system: What is strep throat?
output: It can make your throat red, swollen, and sore. You can usually clear it up with antibiotics, but in rare instances, it can lead to more serious complications. These can be related either to the infection itself or to the way your immune system responds.
system: Can strep throat lead to scarlet fever?
output: Scarlet fever: You get a noticeable rash with this. Like rheumatic fever, it's most common in children. The rash usually first appears on the neck, underarm, and groin area. From there, it spreads. Your child can take antibiotics for it. It can lead to long-term health problems if left untreated.
system: Who has a higher chance of getting complications from strep throat?
output: Some of the people with a higher chance of getting a strep complication include: Children with chickenpox Those with weakened immune systems Older folks with diabetes or cancer Someone who has been burned Most of the time, you can avoid complications if you get treated and follow your doctor's instructions on how often and how long to take antibiotics.
system: Can strep throat lead to deeper infections?
output: You may hear these called âinvasive strep infections.â They include: Infection of tissue underneath the skin: Fat and muscle can become infected with the strep bacteria. The formal name for this is necrotizing fasciitis, and you may hear it called the âflesh-eating disease.â It's life threatening, but strep throat very rarely leads to this condition -- less than 1 child in a million each year.
system: Can strep throat lead to blood infections?
output: Blood infections: The strep bacteria can also get into your bloodstream, where they don't normally live. This is called âbacteremia.â If the strep bacteria release toxins in multiple organs, it can create another rare, life-threatening condition called âstreptococcal toxic shock syndromeâ that can cause organ failure.
system: What are symptoms of blood infections from strep throat?
output: But call your doctor right away if you have these symptoms.
system: Can strep throat cause skin infections?
output: It can make your throat red, swollen, and sore. You can usually clear it up with antibiotics, but in rare instances, it can lead to more serious complications. The bacteria that create strep throat can spread to other parts of your body if antibiotics don't kill them. This can cause infections in places near your throat, including your: Middle ear Sinuses Tonsils There are other problems the bacteria can cause, too. But call your doctor right away if you have these symptoms.
system: How safe is a liver biopsy?
output: In most instances, there are no complications in obtaining a liver biopsy. However, rarely, internal bleeding may occur, as well as a leak of bile from the liver or gallbladder. There is a slight risk of a pneumothorax, also called a collapsed lung, if the biopsy needle makes a hole in the chest wall causing air to enter.
system: What symptoms should I look out for within 72 hours of my liver biopsy?
output: If these symptoms occur within 72 hours of the biopsy, call your doctor or go to the nearest emergency room: Fever Dizziness Chills Difficulty breathing Chest pain Abdominal swelling or bloating Increasing abdominal pain Tenderness or severe pain or redness at the site of the biopsy or in the shoulder, chest, or abdomen
system: What is the key ingredient in Hydroxycut?
output: Hydroxycut isn't just one product. It's a family of dietary supplements sold without a prescription as weight loss aids. The key ingredient in most Hydroxycut products is Robusta coffee extract ( C. canephora robusta).
system: What are some biologic agents that treat rheumatoid arthritis?
output: DMARDs include: hydroxychloroquine ( Plaquenil) leflunomide ( Arava) methotrexate ( Folex, Rheumatrex) sulfasalazine ( Azulfidine) tofacitinib ( Xeljanz) DMARDs also include drugs known as biologic modifiers; these are usually used with methotrexate. Biologic agents include: abatacept ( Orencia) adalimumab ( Humira) adalimumab-atto ( Amjevita), a biosimilar to Humira anakinra ( Kineret) certolizumab ( Cimzia) etanercept ( Enbrel) etanercept-szzs ( Erelzi), a biosimilar to Enbrel golimumab ( Simponi, Simponi Aria) infliximab ( Remicade) infliximab-abda ( Renflexis), a biosimilar to Remicade infliximab-dyyb ( Inflectra), a biosimilar to Remicade rituximab ( Rituxan) sarilumab ( Kevzara) tocilizumab ( Actemra) NSAIDs may also be used to treat hip RA. NSAIDs may be over-the-counter or prescription strength.
system: What are the symptoms of hip rheumatoid arthritis?
output: Hip RA can cause symptoms such as severe pain, stiffness, and swelling. With RA hip pain, you may have discomfort and stiffness in the thigh and groin. Other symptoms of RA include fatigue, loss of appetite, pain, swelling, and stiffness in other joints. RA symptoms can come on gradually or suddenly.
system: When should I worry about my baby's vision?
output: So you're not imaging it when you see your baby fixate on your face and eyes, especially during a feeding, when your face is about a foot away. If your baby never seems to fixate on objects about a foot away -- especially your face -- in the first weeks or months, tell your pediatrician. At three to four months, if your baby still looks "cross-eyed" (the left and right eyes seem to be looking in different directions), this could be a sign of a visual or eye muscle problem and should be evaluated at your next check-up. Be sure to tell your pediatrician if you're concerned.
system: How well can newborn babies see?
output: However, newborns cannot see very far -- only objects that are 8-15 inches away. Newborns prefer to look at faces over other shapes and objects and at round shapes with light and dark borders (such as your adoring eyes). Just after birth, a baby sees only in black and white, with shades of gray. As the months go by, he/she will slowly start to develop his color vision at around 4 months. So you're not imaging it when you see your baby fixate on your face and eyes, especially during a feeding, when your face is about a foot away.
system: What are 5 steps to lower my cholesterol?
output: Ask for expert advice. Give your diet a makeover. Go for foods, like oatmeal, walnuts, tuna, salmon, sardines, and tofu. Stay away from items that are high in trans and saturated fats and simple sugars. No smoking. It lowers your âgoodâ ( HDL) cholesterol. There are lots of other benefits too, for your whole body. Get moving! Even modest amounts of exercise, like half an hour a day of brisk walking, helps you control weight. It's also good for other things that put you at risk for heart disease, like diabetes and high blood pressure. Exercise can lower your triglyceride levels and raise your âgoodâ ( HDL) cholesterol. Both are good for your heart. Take your medications.
system: What are the different types of cholesterol?
output: You want to lower the âbadâ kind, LDL, and triglycerides, which your body stores in fat cells. On the other hand, you want to raise your âgoodâ ( HDL) cholesterol. It helps get rid of the bad kinds. There are lots of other benefits too, for your whole body.
system: What questions can I ask my doctor about my new prescription?
output: What is the prescription? Does it matter what time of day I take this drug? What side effects should I watch for? What should I do if I have a bad reaction? How will this drug interact with other prescription or over-the-counter drugs I am taking? How will this drug interact with vitamins, herbal supplements, or foods? Are there other prescription, over-the-counter, or generic drugs I could take instead?
system: What are good food sources of calcium?
output: Good sources of calcium include: Milk Cheese Yogurt Broccoli, kale, and Chinese cabbage Fortified cereals, juices, soy products, and other foods Tofu Experts say that most adults in the U. S. don't get enough calcium.
system: What are the risks of calcium supplements?
output: At normal doses, calcium supplements may cause bloating, gas, and constipation. Very high doses of calcium can cause kidney stones. Research has found an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes in some people taking calcium supplements in addition to a diet high in calcium, though the true accuracy of these findings is being actively debated by experts.
system: Can calcium supplements help prevent osteporosis?
output: Because of its health benefits, calcium is one of the best-selling supplements in the U. S. Calcium is crucial in growing new bone and maintaining bone strength. Calcium supplements are standard for treating and preventing osteoporosis -- weak and easily broken bones -- and its precursor, osteopenia.
system: What chemotherapy drugs are used to treat early breast cancer?
output: Chemotherapy drugs used to treat early breast cancer include: Anthracyclines: This class of drugs includes doxorubicin ( Adriamycin) and epirubicin ( Ellence). Taxanes: This class of drugs includes docetaxel ( Taxotere) and paclitaxel ( Taxol). These drugs are often used with others like carboplatin, cyclophosphamide ( Cytoxan), and fluorouracil (5- FU).
