system: How can I avoid indoor allergens to ease eczema symptoms?
output: Sweating dries out your skin, and the salt in sweat can sting and irritate it. Wear layers, and take them off and put them on as needed to stay comfortable.
system: Are summer weather and sweat bad for eczema?
output: Hot, cold, humid, and dry -- any type of weather can cause an eczema flare-up in some people. Others find that the hot weather triggers prickly heat and a frenzy of scratching. To ease symptoms, try these tips: Don't get too sweaty. Sweating dries out your skin, and the salt in sweat can sting and irritate it. So try to stay cool. Take it easy on hot days and stick to indoor activities. Use air conditioning or a fan if you need one.
system: Why should you avoid hot water for showers or baths if you have eczema?
output: If you're outside more in the warmer months and huddled under a blanket in the winter, you'll be exposed to different eczema triggers in different seasons. Hot water can trigger symptoms, especially if you're changing temperatures quickly -- like coming inside from shoveling snow and hopping into a hot bath.
system: What is gastroparesis?
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(); }); } Gastroparesis is a condition in which your stomach cannot empty itself of food in a normal fashion. It can be caused by damage to the vagus nerve, which regulates the digestive system. A damaged vagus nerve prevents the muscles in the stomach and intestine from functioning, preventing food from moving through the digestive system properly. Often, the cause of gastroparesis is unknown.
system: How is gastroparesis diagnosed using ultrasound?
output: Ultrasound : This is an imaging test that uses sound waves to create pictures of body organs. Your doctor may use ultrasound to eliminate other diseases.
system: What medications can you use for gastroparesis?
output: Some patients may benefit from medications, including: Reglan (metoclopramide): You take this drug before eating and it causes the stomach muscles to contract and move food along. Reglan also decreases the incidence of vomiting and nausea. Side effects include diarrhea, drowsiness, anxiety, and, rarely, a serious neurological disorder. Erythromycin: This is an antibiotic that also causes stomach contractions and helps move food out. Side effects include diarrhea and development of resistant bacteria from prolonged exposure to the antibiotic. Antiemetics: These are drugs that help control nausea.
system: What is the treatment for gastroparesis?
output: This means that treatment usually doesn't cure the disease. But there are steps you can take to manage and control the condition.
system: What causes gastroparesis?
output: However, the causes of gastroparesis can include: Uncontrolled diabetes Gastric surgery with injury to the vagus nerve Medications such as narcotics and some antidepressants Parkinson's disease Multiple sclerosis Rare conditions such as: amyloidosis (deposits of protein fibers in tissues and organs) and scleroderma (a connective tissue disorder that affects the skin, blood vessels, skeletal muscles, and internal organs) There are many symptoms of gastroparesis, including: Heartburn or GERD Nausea Vomiting undigested food Feeling full quickly when eating Abdominal bloating Poor appetite and weight loss Poor blood sugar control Some of the complications of gastroparesis include: Food that stays in the stomach too long can ferment, which can lead to the growth of bacteria.
system: What are other treatment options for gastroparesis?
output: Bezoars can cause obstructions in the stomach that keep food from passing into the small intestine. This can relax the valve, keeping it open for a longer period of time to allow the stomach to empty. Another treatment option is intravenous or parenteral nutrition. This is a feeding method in which nutrients go directly into the bloodstream through a catheter placed into a vein in your chest. Parenteral nutrition is intended to be a temporary measure for a severe case of gastroparesis.
system: Are there warning signs of panic attacks?
output: The physical changes may start about an hour before an attack. In one study, people with panic disorder wore devices that tracked their heart activity, sweating, and breathing. The results showed lower-than-normal levels of carbon dioxide, a sign of rapid, deep breathing that can leave you breathless, as early as about 45 minutes before the panic attack.
system: What happens in my brain during a panic attack?
output: These episodes of extreme fear often happen without warning. It's possible that the parts of the brain that are tied to fear become more active during an episode. One recent study found that people with panic disorder had lots of activity in a part of their brains tied to the âfight or flightâ response. Other studies have found possible links between panic disorder and the chemicals in your brain. The condition may also be linked to an imbalance in serotonin levels, which can affect your moods.
system: What should you do if you have a panic attack?
output: These episodes of extreme fear often happen without warning. To get through a panic attack, try to take control of your breathing first. Find a place where you can sit or be comfortable. Concentrate on making your breath slow and even. Try to inhale through your nose for 4 seconds, hold it for 2 seconds, then exhale through your mouth for 6 seconds. Tell yourself that you're not in danger and that the attack will pass. If you're not sure if you're having a panic attack, it's a good idea to go to the hospital to rule out any other health problems. Panic disorder is one of the most treatable types of anxiety disorders. Medication and a type of talk therapy called cognitive behavioral therapy can help. See your doctor if you have panic attacks often.
system: What happens inside my body during a panic attack?
output: These episodes of extreme fear often happen without warning. Your body's âfight or flightâ response is behind these intense physical symptoms. Normally when you encounter a threat -- whether it's a grizzly bear or a swerving car -- your nervous system springs into action. The hormone adrenaline floods into your bloodstream, putting your body on high alert. Your heartbeat quickens, which sends more blood to your muscles. Your breathing becomes fast and shallow, so you can take in more oxygen. Your blood sugar spikes. Your senses get sharper. All of these changes -- which happen in an instant -- give you the energy you need to confront a dangerous situation or get out of harm's way quickly. With random panic attacks, your body goes on alert for no reason.
system: What does a panic attack feel like?
output: You can't catch your breath. You feel consumed by fear and may even think you're dying -- even though you're really in no danger. This is what it feels like to have a panic attack. These episodes of extreme fear often happen without warning. You may have one or more panic attacks during your life, or you may never have one. Your body's âfight or flightâ response is behind these intense physical symptoms.
system: How is rosacea linked to dry eye?
output: Rosacea is a common skin disease that causes rosy patches on your skin and dry or oily spots, usually on the face. There's a related condition called ocular rosacea that can cause dry eye. Rosacea and ocular rosacea seem to be linked to autoimmune disorders, which happen when the immune system -- your body's defense against germs -- kicks into overdrive and attacks different parts of your body. Ocular rosacea may also be related to mites that live on your eyelashes or bacteria from the skin that end up on your eyelid.
system: How can ocular rosacea affect your eyes?
output: There's a related condition called ocular rosacea that can cause dry eye. They're located on the rim of your upper and lower eyelids -- the spot where they meet when your eyes close. These glands make the oily surface layer on the eyes, which keeps them moist and prevents tears from drying up. Ocular rosacea may also damage the lacrimal gland, which makes tears. As with ocular rosacea and blepharitis, pruritus may involve problems with the glands on the eyelids.
system: How can blepharitis affect your eyes?
output: There's a related condition called ocular rosacea that can cause dry eye. When you have blepharitis, your eyelids become inflamed or swollen. Blepharitis that's on the inside of your eyelid (the part that touches the eyeball) is called posterior blepharitis. Blepharitis that affects the place where your lashes attach to the eyelid, called anterior blepharitis, can be caused by scalp or eyebrow dandruff. As with ocular rosacea and blepharitis, pruritus may involve problems with the glands on the eyelids.
system: How can pruritus cause dry eye?
output: Rosacea, blepharitis, and pruritus on the eyelids or near the eye are some of the skin conditions that are linked to dry eye. Pruritus is the medical term for itching. Various skin problems can cause it. Besides feeling itchy, you may get swelling of the area around your eyelid or scales on your eyelids. As with ocular rosacea and blepharitis, pruritus may involve problems with the glands on the eyelids. The itchiness may stop at night, possibly because closed eyelids keep the oily film made by the glands in place, which prevents your tears from drying up.
system: When do I need a tooth extraction for periodontal (gum) disease?
output: If periodontal disease -- an infection of the tissues and bones that surround and support the teeth -- have caused loosening of the teeth, it may be necessary to the pull the tooth or teeth.
system: What happens before a tooth extraction?
output: Dentists and oral surgeons (dentists with special training to perform surgery) perform tooth extractions. Before pulling the tooth, your dentist will give you an injection of a local anesthetic to numb the area where the tooth will be removed. In some instances, your dentist may use a strong general anesthetic. This will prevent pain throughout your body and make you sleep through the procedure.
system: What does recovery after a tooth extraction entail?
output: You should also call your dentist if you experience any of the following: Signs of infection, including fever and chills Nausea or vomiting Redness, swelling, or excessive discharge from the affected area Cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, or severe nausea or vomiting The initial healing period usually takes about one to two weeks. New bone and gum tissue will grow into the gap. Over time, however, having a tooth (or teeth) missing can cause the remaining teeth to shift, affecting your bite and making it difficult to chew. For that reason, your dentist may advise replacing the missing tooth or teeth with an implant, fixed bridge, or denture.
system: When should you call the dentist about a tooth extraction?
output: It is normal to feel some pain after the anesthesia wears off. For 24 hours after having a tooth pulled, you should also expect some swelling and residual bleeding. However, if either bleeding or pain is still severe more than four hours after your tooth is pulled, you should call your dentist. You should also call your dentist if you experience any of the following: Signs of infection, including fever and chills Nausea or vomiting Redness, swelling, or excessive discharge from the affected area Cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, or severe nausea or vomiting The initial healing period usually takes about one to two weeks.
system: When do I need a tooth extraction to avoid infection?
output: If your immune system is compromised (for example, if you are receiving chemotherapy or are having an organ transplant), even the risk of infection in a particular tooth may be reason enough to pull the tooth.
system: When do I need a tooth extraction for an infection?
output: Infection. If periodontal disease -- an infection of the tissues and bones that surround and support the teeth -- have caused loosening of the teeth, it may be necessary to the pull the tooth or teeth.
system: What should I tell your dentist before I have a tooth pulled?
output: Having a tooth pulled in adulthood is sometimes necessary. Risk of infection. If you have a condition that puts you at high risk for developing a severe infection, you may need to take antibiotics before and after the extraction. Before having a tooth pulled, let your dentist know your complete medical history, the medications and supplements you take, and if you have one of the following: Damaged or man-made heart valves Congenital heart defect Impaired immune system Liver disease (cirrhosis) Artificial joint, such as a hip replacement History of bacterial endocarditis Following an extraction, your dentist will send you home to recover.
system: What are examples of questions your doctor might ask you when screening for depression?
output: When you take this test, you will be asked to answer two questions: During the past month, have you been bothered by feeling down, depressed, or hopeless? During the past month, have you been bothered by little interest or pleasure in doing things?
system: What central nervous system illnesses can lead to depression?
output: Many central nervous system illnesses and injuries can also lead to depression. For example, depression might be associated with any of the following conditions: Central nervous system tumors Head trauma Multiple sclerosis Stroke Syphilis Various cancers (pancreas, prostate, breast) Corticosteroid medications such as prednisone, which people take for diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or asthma, are also associated with depression.
system: What is the goal of a physical exam  when diagnosing depression?
output: Again, the goal with a physical exam is usually to rule out another medical cause for depression. Other endocrine disorders associated with depression include hyperthyroidism -- caused by an overactive thyroid -- and Cushing's disease -- a disorder of the adrenal gland.
system: What depression screening instruments  measure the severity of depression?
output: Your doctor can usually tell if you have depression by asking you specific questions and doing a physical exam. Examples include: The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 ( PHQ-9) -- a 9-item self-administered diagnostic screening and severity tool based on current diagnostic criteria for major depression Beck Depression Inventory ( BDI), -- a 21-question multiple-choice self-report that measures the severity of depression symptoms and feelings Zung Self- Rating Depression Scale -- a short survey that measures the level of depression, ranging from normal to severely depressed Center for Epidemiologic Studies- Depression Scale ( CES- D) -- an instrument that allows patients to evaluate their feelings, behavior, and outlook from the previous week Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression ( HRSD), also known as the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale ( HDRS) or abbreviated to HAM- D -- a multiple choice questionnaire that doctors may use to rate the severity of a patient's depression When you take a test or inventory, you may feel uncomfortable responding honestly to questions or statements that are made.
system: What tests are used to diagnose depression?
output: In most cases, the doctor will do a physical exam and ask for specific lab tests to make sure your depression symptoms aren't related to a condition such as thyroid disease, vitamin D deficiency, or another medical problem. If your symptoms are related to another serious illness, treating that illness may also help ease the depression. Your doctor can usually tell if you have depression by asking you specific questions and doing a physical exam.
system: How can lumbar puncture (spinal tap) help in the diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML)?
output: AML affects immature blood cells called stem cells that grow into white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. Lumbar Puncture ( Spinal Tap) This test uses a needle to remove a small sample of cerebrospinal fluid ( CSF), the fluid that surrounds your brain and spinal cord. The CSF is examined under a microscope to see if it contains leukemia cells.
system: What gene tests can help diagnose acute myeloid leukemia (AML)?
output: AML affects immature blood cells called stem cells that grow into white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. These tests look for immature or abnormal cells in your blood and bone marrow: Blood tests Bone marrow tests Lumbar puncture Imaging tests Gene tests Blood Tests During a blood test, your doctor uses a needle to take a sample of blood from a vein in your arm. Gene Tests There are several forms of AML. Your doctor can find out which one you have by looking for gene changes in a sample of your blood or bone marrow. These tests include: Cytogenetic analysis looks for chromosome changes in your cells. Fluorescent in situ hybridization ( FISH) looks for abnormal chromosomes in your cells using special dyes that attach to certain parts of the chromosome. Polymerase chain reaction ( PCR) uses chemicals to find changes in genes.
system: How can peripheral blood smear help in the diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML)?
output: AML affects immature blood cells called stem cells that grow into white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. Peripheral blood smear.
system: How can bone marrow test help in the diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML)?
output: AML affects immature blood cells called stem cells that grow into white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. Bone Marrow Test To confirm that you have AML, you'll also need a bone marrow test. The doctor will place a needle into a bone -- usually near your hip -- and remove a little bit of fluid or a small piece of bone. The sample will go to a lab for testing. A doctor called a pathologist will look at your cells under a microscope. If 20% or more of the blood cells in your bone marrow are immature, you may be diagnosed with AML.
system: How can complete blood count (CBC) help in the diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML)?
output: AML affects immature blood cells called stem cells that grow into white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. This test checks how many white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets you have. With AML, you may have more white blood cells and fewer red blood cells and platelets than normal.
system: What is palliative care for nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease?
output: At any point in your life with lung disease, ask your doctor about palliative care to help you feel more comfortable. Palliative care is any treatment that helps to ease symptoms or just make you feel better. You may need oxygen therapy to help you breathe more easily, take meds for your upset stomach, or see a counselor to deal with stress.
system: Which antibiotics are used to treat mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) disease?
output: Doctors treat mycobacterium avium complex ( MAC) disease, the most common NTM lung infection, with a combination of three antibiotics: Either azithromycin and clarithromycin Ethambutol Rifampin If you have more severe MAC disease that results from cavities in your lungs, your doctor may try rifabutin instead of rifampin.
system: Do people get surgery for nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease?
output: Antibiotics alone may not clear up your infection or ease your symptoms. Some people also need surgery to take out damaged lung tissue.
system: How will your doctor decide which antibiotic to use for mild nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease?
output: Your doctor will decide which antibiotic to try first based on: The exact type of bacteria that caused your infection and how it reacts to different drugs Your age Your symptoms Your overall health Other medications you take How severe your disease seems to be Most people with an NTM lung infection start with a combination of antibiotics that they take three times a week. You may have to change medications if the bacteria become resistant to your doctor's first choice, but she has several options to choose from.
system: How can surgery help treat nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung disease?
output: Clinical trials are underway for a new type of drug to treat MAC-related NTM lung disease. Antibiotics alone may not clear up your infection or ease your symptoms. Some people also need surgery to take out damaged lung tissue. Surgery along with antibiotics can clear up an NTM lung infection in many people.
system: How can you prevent nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung disease?
output: Clinical trials are underway for a new type of drug to treat MAC-related NTM lung disease. These bacteria are often found in water or moist places, so take these easy steps: Avoid hot tubs or spas. If you have a hot tub, make sure it's outside your house.
system: What are some complementary treatments for nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung disease?
output: Others require ongoing treatments to keep their disease under control. You'll need to take antibiotics. Clinical trials are underway for a new type of drug to treat MAC-related NTM lung disease. There are other things you can try to ease your symptoms and help clear up your infection. Talk to your doctor first if you'd like to try any of these therapies: Nebulized hypertonic saline: A machine called a nebulizer sprays sterile, salty water into your airways to help clear mucus from your lungs. High-frequency chest wall oscillation: This device loosens mucus in your lungs. Physical therapy Huff cough, a technique to clear out the gunk You can also: Get some aerobic exercise.
system: What can you expect with treatment for mild nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease?
output: You'll cough up some mucus and she'll send it to a lab for tests. You can stop taking the meds when the results have come back negative for a year. To treat it, you'll probably take azithromycin or clarithromycin to start. If they don't help, the doctor will switch you to ethambutol with or without rifabutin.
system: How can palliative care help with  nontuberculous mycobacterial  (NTM) lung disease?
output: Clinical trials are underway for a new type of drug to treat MAC-related NTM lung disease. Lung disease symptoms and the treatments for them may make you feel awful at times. At any point in your life with lung disease, ask your doctor about palliative care to help you feel more comfortable. Palliative care is any treatment that helps to ease symptoms or just make you feel better. You may need oxygen therapy to help you breathe more easily, take meds for your upset stomach, or see a counselor to deal with stress.
