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(); }); } If you think your skin rubbed up against one of the poisonous plants, wash the area thoroughly with soap and cool water right away. The sooner you clean your skin, the more likely you'll be able to remove the oils that cause an allergic reaction. It's also a good idea to wash all clothes and shoes that may have touched one of the plants, too. A rash due to poison ivy, oak, or sumac may show up right away. But sometimes it can take a few days after you had contact with the plant for a rash to appear.
system: When should I get emergency care for poison ivy, oak, and sumac?
output: If you have a severe reaction to poison ivy, oak, or sumac, you should go to the emergency room right away. Some signs that you need medical help quickly are: Trouble breathing Difficulty swallowing An eyelid swells shut Rash on your face or genitals Your skin itches everywhere, and nothing makes it feel better
system: What are home remedies for poison ivy, oak, or sumac?
output: To help with oozing problems, try over-the-counter creams or lotions that you put on the rash, such as: Calamine lotion Zinc carbonate Zinc oxide For itchiness, apply baking soda or colloidal oatmeal to your skin. And for an oozing rash, give aluminum acetate a try. Your skin will feel better if you soak in a bathtub with cool water and an oatmeal-based bath product.

system: What causes hyperventilation?
output: Many conditions and situations can bring on hyperventilation, including: Anxiety disorder Panic attack Asthma Stress Worry or anxiety Hard exercise Emphysema or another lung disease Side effects from certain drugs High altitude Having a head injury Shock You may not always be aware that you're overbreathing.
system: What are the symptoms of hyperventilation?
output: But signs may include: Shortness of breath, or feeling that you can't get enough air A faster than normal heartbeat Feeling faint, dizzy, or lightheaded Pain or tightness in your chest Frequent yawn or sighs A numb, tingly feeling in your hands or feet You may be able to stop yourself from hyperventilating if you focus on taking controlled breaths.
system: When should you see a doctor about hyperventilation?
output: If you hyperventilate often, your doctor may tell you that you have hyperventilation syndrome. Do the same for anyone else who's hyperventilating. If this isn't your first time hyperventilating and the problem gets in the way of your normal activities, you may have hyperventilation syndrome or an anxiety problem. Your doctor or therapist can find a diagnosis and help you manage the problem. Medication may help some people.
system: Who is at risk for hyperventilation?
output: When this happens, it's called hyperventilation, or overbreathing. It can come about when you feel nervous, anxious, or stressed. If you hyperventilate often, your doctor may tell you that you have hyperventilation syndrome. Women hyperventilate more often than men do. It may happen more often when a woman is pregnant, but the problem usually goes away on its own after the baby is born.
system: What is hypersomnia?
output: You may be suffering from a sleep disorder called hypersomnia, which causes excessive daytime sleepiness. To determine the cause of your sleepiness, your doctor will ask about your sleeping habits, how much sleep you get at night, if you wake up at night, and whether you fall asleep during the day.
system: How does scraping the tumor treat basal cell carcinoma?
output: Scraping the tumor away and using electricity to kill cancer cells. You may hear your doctor call this "curettage and desiccation." First your doctor numbs your skin. Then he uses a curette, a tool that has spoon-like shape to scrape off the tumor. Your doctor controls your bleeding and kills any other cancer cells with an electric needle.
system: How do you recognize tumors related to skin cancer?
output: The tumors start off as small shiny bumps, usually on your nose or other parts of your face. But you can get them on any part of your body, including your trunk, legs, and arms. If you've got fair skin, you're more likely to get this skin cancer.
system: How does cutting out the tumor treat basal cell carcinoma?
output: Your doctor may call this an "excision." First he'll numb the tumor and the skin around it. Then he'll scrape the tumor with a spoon-shaped device. Next he'll cut out the tumor and a small surrounding area of normal-appearing skin and send it to a lab. If the lab results show there are cancer cells in the area around your tumor, your doctor may need to remove more of your skin.
system: How does Mohs surgery treat basal cell carcinoma?
output: This is a technique that's named after the doctor who invented it. Your surgeon removes your tumor layer by layer. He takes out some tissue, then looks at it under a microscope to see if it has cancer cells, before moving on to the next layer.
system: When is Mohs surgery recommended to treat basal cell carcinoma?
output: Your doctor may recommend this surgery if your tumor is: Large In a sensitive area of your body Has been there for a long time Came back after you had other treatments Creams and pills.
system: What will your doctor do to diagnose basal cell carcinoma?
output: Your doctor will take a sample, or biopsy, of the growth. He will numb the area and remove some of the skin. Then he sends it to a lab, where it will be tested for cancer cells.
system: How does radiation therapy treat basal cell carcinoma?
output: This treatment uses X-rays to destroy your cancer cells. It's done over several weeks.
system: How does basal cell carcinoma grow?
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(); }); } Basal cell carcinoma usually grows very slowly and often doesn't show up for many years after intense or long-term exposure to the sun. You can get it at a younger age if you're exposed to a lot of sun or use tanning beds.
system: How does basal cell carcinoma spread?
output: Several treatments can keep that from happening and get rid of the cancer. You're most likely to get one of these drugs if your basal cell carcinoma has spread to other parts of your body.
system: What are the goals of treatment for basal cell carcinoma?
output: To choose the best treatment, your doctor will consider the size and place of the cancer, and how long you've had it. He'll also take into account the chance of scarring, as well as your overall health. Wear a broad-brimmed hat and cover up as much as possible, such as long-sleeved shirts and long pants.
system: What is basal cell carcinoma?
output: It's natural to feel worried when your doctor tells you that you have it, but keep in mind that it's the least risky type of skin cancer. As long as you catch it early, you can be cured. You're most likely to get one of these drugs if your basal cell carcinoma has spread to other parts of your body.
system: What are symptoms of basal cell carcinoma?
output: It's natural to feel worried when your doctor tells you that you have it, but keep in mind that it's the least risky type of skin cancer. At first, a basal cell carcinoma comes up like a small "pearly" bump that looks like a flesh-colored mole or a pimple that doesn't go away. Sometimes these growths can look dark. Or you may also see shiny pink or red patches that are slightly scaly. Another symptom to watch out for is a waxy, hard skin growth. Basal cell carcinomas are also fragile and can bleed easily. Your doctor may suggest some medicine that can treat your basal cell carcinoma.
system: Should I watch what I eat and drink if I have multiple sclerosis?
output: Watch What You Eat and Drink For an energy boost, instead of three big meals a day eat several smaller ones packed with nutrients. Eat low-fat, high-fiber foods to help prevent heart disease and diabetes, which make MS worse. To keep your bladder under better control, cut back on coffee. It increases your urge to go. Travel safely: Stay hydrated on vacation, but be cautious about local water and raw foods.
system: How can I get better rest with multiple sclerosis?
output: Get Better Rest Take a nap to fight fatigue, but no more than 2 hours. Longer than that might keep you up at night. To fall asleep easier, listen to relaxing music before you get into bed. To sleep better at night, try meditation, deep breathing, or yoga during the day. Do you wake up at night with a need to go? Skip that glass of water before bed.
system: What gadgets can I use to make my life easier with multiple sclerosis?
output: Put Gadgets to Work for You Put a fan at your desk to keep cool while you work. Get a motorized scooter to make shopping easier. Put hand controls in your car so you can speed up and apply the brakes without using your feet. Wear a cooling vest when you go outside in the summer. Wear lightweight shoes with good tread to avoid falling while you're out for a walk.
system: What are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors relative to antidepressants?
output: There are three types: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors ( SSRIs) are some of the most commonly prescribed antidepressants available. They include citalopram ( Celexa), escitalopram ( Lexapro), fluvoxamine ( Luvox), paroxetine ( Paxil), Prozac, and sertraline ( Zoloft). Another drug, olanzapine ( Symbyax), is approved by the FDA specifically for treatment-resistant depression. It's a combination of the SSRI antidepressant fluoxetine ( Prozac) and another drug approved for bipolar disorder and schizophrenia called olanzapine ( Zyprexa). Aripiprazole ( Abilify), quetiapine ( Seroquel), and brexpiprazole ( Rexulti) have been FDA approved as add-on therapy to antidepressants for depression. Plus, doctors often use other drugs in combination for treatment-resistant depression. Also, the drugs vilazodone ( Viibryd) and vortioxetine ( Trintellix - formelrly called Brintellix) are among the newest antidepressants that affect serotonin. Both drugs affect the serotonin transporter (like an SSRI) but also affect other serotonin receptors to relieve major depression.
system: What are serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors relative to antidepressants?
output: Serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors ( SNRIs) are among the newer types of antidepressant. As the name implies, they block the reuptake of both serotonin and norepinephrine. They include duloxetine ( Cymbalta), venlafaxine ( Effexor), desvenlafaxine ER ( Khedezla), levomilnacipran ( Fetzima), and desvenlafaxine ( Pristiq).
system: How are monoamine oxidase inhibitors used as antidepressants?
output: Monoamine oxidase inhibitors ( MAOIs) include selegiline ( Emsam), isocarboxazid ( Marplan), phenelzine ( Nardil), and tranylcypromine ( Parnate). These drugs seem to work a little differently. Monoamine oxidase is a natural enzyme that breaks down serotonin, epinephrine, and dopamine. MAOIs block the effects of this enzyme. As a result, the levels of those neurotransmitters might get a boost. The downside is that MAOIs also prevent the body's ability to break down other medicines metabolized by this enzyme (such as Sudafed, or stimulants) -- raising the risk for high blood pressure -- as well as an amino acid called tyrosine, which is found in certain foods like aged meats and cheeses. MAOIs also shouldn't be combined with other medicines that can raise serotonin (such as certain migraine medicines, or other antidepressants), because that can cause a buildup of excessive serotonin (called "serotonin syndrome"), which could be life threatening.
system: What are serotonin antagonist and reuptake inhibitors relative to antidepressants?
output: Serotonin antagonist and reuptake inhibitor ( SARIs) appear to act in two ways. They prevent the reuptake of serotonin. But they also prevent serotonin particles that are released in a synapse from binding at certain undesired receptors and redirect them instead to other receptors that can help nerve cells within mood circuits function better. Examples include nefazodone ( Serzone) and trazodone.
system: What should you keep in mind when taking antidepressants?
output: When taking an antidepressant for treatment-resistant depression, you have to be patient. Some people start an antidepressant and expect that it will work right away. After all, when you drink a few cups of coffee, or a few glasses of wine, you feel it pretty fast. People naturally expect the same kind of instant results with antidepressants. But that's just not how antidepressants work. No one knows exactly why, but they can take weeks or months before they gain their full effect. When you're taking an antidepressant, it's important to adjust your expectations and to try to be patient.
system: How common is prostate cancer in men?
output: Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men (besides skin cancer). About one man in six will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in his lifetime. Let's keep these numbers in perspective, though. Because prostate cancer is usually slow growing, only about one in 35 men will die of prostate cancer.
system: At what age do men usually get benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)?
output: BPH, also known as an enlarged prostate, is growth of the prostate gland to an unhealthy size. A man's chances of having BPH go up with age: Age 31-40: one in 12 Age 51-60: about one in two Over age 80: more than eight in 10 However, only about half of men ever have BPH symptoms that need treatment. BPH does not lead to prostate cancer, although both are common in older men.
system: How should I be screened for prostate cancer?
output: Prostate Cancer. Some doctors and organizations recommend regular screening while others don't. Routine screening in men between ages 40 and 54 at average risk is not recommended. To reduce the harms of screening, a routine screening interval of two years or more may be preferred over annual screening in those men who have decided on screening after a discussion with their doctor. They say the tests may find cancers that are so slow-growing that medical treatments -- which can have serious side effects -- would offer no benefit. If prostate cancer screening is done, it involves a blood test and possibly a prostate exam by your doctor.
system: What are the risk factors associated with prostate cancer?
output: About two out of every three men with prostate cancer are over age 65. Having a father or brother with prostate cancer more than doubles your risk. African- American men are more likely to get prostate cancer than Caucasians, and the cancer is usually more advanced when discovered.
system: What does your prostate do?
output: Because prostate cancer is usually slow growing, only about one in 35 men will die of prostate cancer. It sits just below the bladder and surrounds the urethra, the tube that carries urine through the penis. The prostate's job is to make fluid for semen.
system: What are the symptoms of prostate cancer?
output: The prostate's job is to make fluid for semen. Possible symptoms include: Pain urinating or ejaculating Fever and chills Pelvic pain Needing to urinate more often Cloudy urine Prostate cancer often has no symptoms. It is often discovered after screening with a lab test called prostate specific antigen ( PSA). This symptom usually suggests more advanced prostate cancer.
system: What are the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)?
output: Benign prostatic hyperplasia ( BPH). The prostate's job is to make fluid for semen. The prostate grows naturally with age, usually without problems. In some men, the enlarged prostate compresses the urethra, making urination difficult and causing benign prostatic hyperplasia ( BPH). BPH symptoms include: Urinating frequently, especially at night Difficulty getting a urine stream going Feeling as if you are unable to get all the urine out Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate, often caused by bacteria.
system: What is a groin pull?
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(); }); } A groin pull -- or groin strain -- results from putting too much stress on muscles in your groin and thigh. If these muscles are tensed too forcefully or too suddenly, they can get over-stretched or torn.
system: How is a groin pull diagnosed?
output: Here are some symptoms of a groin pull: Pain and tenderness in the groin and the inside of the thigh Pain when you bring your legs together Pain when you raise your knee A popping or snapping feeling during the injury, followed by severe pain Groin pulls are often divided into three degrees of severity: 1st degree: Mild pain, but little loss of strength or movement 2nd degree: Moderate pain, mild to moderate strength loss and some tissue damage 3rd degree: Severe pain, severe loss of strength and function due to a complete tear of the muscle To diagnose a groin pull, your doctor will give you a thorough physical exam. Tests like X-rays and MRIs (magnetic resonance imaging) may be needed to rule out other problems.

system: How soon can you get back in the game after a groin pull?
output: But not always. Everyone wants to know how quickly they can get back in the game after a groin pull -- and how soon the pain will go away. Recovery time depends on how serious your groin pull is. It may take 4 to 6 weeks, but that's just a rough estimate. People heal at different rates. In the meantime, switch to a new activity that won't put too much stress on your groin muscles. For instance, runners could try swimming.
