system: How do I know if I have a spine curvature disorder?
output: Your doctor can diagnose a spine curvature disorder by taking a medical and family history, examining the curve of your spine during a physical examination, and using imaging tests, like X-rays, to look more closely at the spine. X-rays can show if there are any abnormalities to the bones of the spine and can also measure how much curve is present. If you or a loved one's back appears to have an abnormal curve to it, beyond just poor posture, see your doctor so that you can be evaluated and treated.
system: What are the symptoms of lordosis?
output: Symptoms of lordosis may include: Appearing swayback, with the buttocks being more pronounced Having a large gap between the lower back and the floor when lying on your back on a hard surface that does not change when you bend forward Back pain and discomfort Problems moving certain ways Symptoms of kyphosis are usually visible in nature and include: Bending forward of the head compared to the rest of the body Hump or curve to the upper back Fatigue in back or legs Postural kyphosis does not typically cause back pain; however, physical activity and long periods of standing and sitting can cause discomfort for people with Scheuermann's kyphosis.
system: How are spine curvature disorders treated?
output: Symptoms of scoliosis may include having: Uneven shoulder blades with one being higher than the other An uneven waist or hip Leaning toward one side In general, treatment is determined based on the severity and type of spinal curvature disorder you have.

However, doctors do know that scoliosis tends to run in families. A disease, injury, infection, or birth defect also may be to blame.
system: How is scoliosis treated?
output: Depending on the degree of the curve, a back brace is sometimes prescribed for kids and adolescents who are still growing. Bracing can help prevent the curve from getting worse. Surgery. If the curve is severe and is getting worse, surgery is sometimes needed. Body casting. A cast is placed from the shoulders to the lower trunk while the child is under anesthesia. It is replaced every few months for up to 3 years. This is usually reserved for young children when a scoliosis curve looks like it will get worse as they grow. Exercise programs, chiropractic treatment, electrical stimulation, and nutritional supplements have not been proven to prevent the worsening of scoliosis. It is still ideal to keep as much as strength and flexibility to maintain normal function. This may require more effort and attention in someone with scoliosis. If you or a loved one's back appears to have an abnormal curve to it, beyond just poor posture, see your doctor so that you can be evaluated and treated.
system: What are the types of spine curvature disorders?
output: Kyphosis. Kyphosis is characterized by an abnormally rounded upper back (more than 50 degrees of curvature). Scoliosis. A person with scoliosis has a sideways curve to their spine. The curve is often S-shaped or C-shaped. Symptoms of lordosis may include: Appearing swayback, with the buttocks being more pronounced Having a large gap between the lower back and the floor when lying on your back on a hard surface that does not change when you bend forward Back pain and discomfort Problems moving certain ways Symptoms of kyphosis are usually visible in nature and include: Bending forward of the head compared to the rest of the body Hump or curve to the upper back Fatigue in back or legs Postural kyphosis does not typically cause back pain; however, physical activity and long periods of standing and sitting can cause discomfort for people with Scheuermann's kyphosis.

system: How is MRSA diagnosed?
output: Your health care provider will examine the area and be able to run lab tests to see if you have MRSA. Depending on your symptoms, your doctor also might test blood, urine, or sputum (mucus coughed up). If you have a severe infection, or MRSA in the bloodstream, you will need intravenous antibiotics.
system: What are the treatments for MRSA?
output: MRSA is treatable. If you have a severe infection, or MRSA in the bloodstream, you will need intravenous antibiotics. Antibiotics, however, aren't always necessary. If you have a small skin boil caused by MRSA, your doctor may just make an incision and drain it. If you are prescribed antibiotics, follow your health care provider's instructions precisely. Never stop taking your medicine, even if you're feeling better. If you don't take all of your medicine, some of the staph bacteria may survive, requiring re-treatment. Inadequate treatment also increases the development of antibiotic resistance in the surviving staph population. If you still have staph you can infect someone else.

They need strict schedules and don't like changes to their routines.
system: How are pervasive developmental disorders (PDDs) or autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) diagnosed?
output: To make the diagnosis, doctors observe the child and ask questions of the parents or guardians about the child's behaviors. There is no lab test for an autism spectrum disorder. The key is to find out as soon possible if a child is on the spectrum. That way, you can line up resources to help your child reach his full potential. The sooner that starts, the better.
system: How are pervasive developmental disorders (PDDs) or autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) treated?
output: Medication works best when paired with therapy that develops socialization and other life skills. Keep in mind that someone who's on the spectrum experiences the world differently. Their victories and challenges might be very different from yours. It helps to appreciate them as they are, with their own unique personalities and interests, while you get them the support and skills that could make a big difference in their future.
system: When did pervasive developmental disorders become part of "autism spectrum disorders"?
output: The name change came in 2013, when the American Psychiatric Association reclassified autistic disorder, Asperger's syndrome, childhood disintegrative disorder, and pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified ( PDD- NOS) as autism spectrum disorders. Why the change? The spectrum concept is a more medically accurate way of diagnosing children with these disorders.

output: If you've had heart surgery, you may be left with scars that increase the chances you may get SVT.
system: Are caffeine and alcohol triggers for supraventricular tachycardia?
output: You would probably have to have a lot of cups o' joe to set your heart racing, although the amount varies from person to person. Caffeine is found in tea, chocolate, and energy drinks, too. Figure out how much you're really taking in. Alcohol can also be a trigger, and possibly in smaller amounts than caffeine.
system: What is supraventricular tachycardia and what causes it?
output: What they do know for certain: It starts in the upper chambers of your heart with electrical signals that tell it when to pump. These impulses go in a loop instead of heading off to the right place. This causes your heartbeat to speed up -- sometimes to three times its normal pace. With a little detective work, you and your doctor might be able to figure out what your triggers are. That could help you control this condition.
system: How can stress trigger supraventricular tachycardia?
output: That could help you control this condition. If you've had heart surgery, you may be left with scars that increase the chances you may get SVT. Up to 25% of people who've had a heart transplant will have this happen.
