system: How can you tell if your baby is teething?
output: It's probably teething if your baby: Drools a lot Is extra fussy or cranky Cries more than usual Chews on teething rings or other firm objects Your baby is most likely to show these signs when the front teeth come in. Expect the worst of the symptoms to hit between 6 and 16 months.
system: What should you keep in mind if your baby is teething?
output: Call your doctor if your baby: Is under 3 months old and has a temperature over 100.4 F Is over 3 months old and has a fever over 102 F Has a fever that lasts longer than 24 hours Has diarrhea, vomiting, or a rash with the fever Is very sleepy or looks sick Can't be soothed Teething can be a frustrating time for both your baby and you. Remember that this is just another phase. In the meantime, keep your baby as comfortable as possible. And when those first teeth pop up, brush them each day with a soft-bristled children's toothbrush to keep them healthy.
system: How can you tell if your baby is sick instead of teething?
output: Your baby has probably picked up a cold, stomach bug, or other illness if she: Has a runny or stuffed nose Is sneezing or coughing Has diarrhea or is vomiting Has a rash If you're still not sure what's going on, check with your pediatrician. Teething babies can be cranky, and they often are.
system: How can you help someone who has depression to follow their treatment plan?
output: Consider turning to support groups, either for the depressed person, or for you as his or her family member.
system: How does canola oil benefit the heart?
output: Canola oil is also very high in healthier unsaturated fats. It's higher in the omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid ( ALA) than any other oil except flaxseed oil. ALA is particularly important to have in your diet because your body can't make it. Studies show that ALA may help protect the heart through its effects on blood pressure, cholesterol, and inflammation.
system: What are healthy cooking methods that I can do with canola oil?
output: Because of its light flavor, high smoke point, and smooth texture, canola oil is one of the most versatile cooking oils. You can use it in a number of dishes and cooking methods, like: As a cooking oil for sauteing, stir-frying, grilling, and baking In salad dressings, sauces, and marinades To coat your pans for nonstick baking Instead of solid fats (such as margarine and butter) in recipes Some Internet sites claim that canola oil has high levels of erucic acid, a substance that can be toxic to humans and can lead to ailments ranging from respiratory distress to blindness.
system: How much erucic acid does canola oil contain?
output: You can use it in a number of dishes and cooking methods, like: As a cooking oil for sauteing, stir-frying, grilling, and baking In salad dressings, sauces, and marinades To coat your pans for nonstick baking Instead of solid fats (such as margarine and butter) in recipes Some Internet sites claim that canola oil has high levels of erucic acid, a substance that can be toxic to humans and can lead to ailments ranging from respiratory distress to blindness. But canola oil has levels of erucic acid well below the FDA's standards.
system: How does staying active affect rheumatoid arthritis?
output: It strengthens the muscles that support your joints.
system: What are some ways to guard joints against damage from rheumatoid arthritis?
output: Keep them in good shape with some tweaks to your lifestyle. Diet, exercise, and using the right tools can make a huge difference.
system: How do omega-3 fatty acids affect rheumatoid arthritis?
output: Studies show they can help lower the inflammation that comes with RA. Some good sources are fatty fish like salmon, herring, tuna, and sardines. You can also try fish oil supplements, but ask your doctor fist.
system: How do certain tools affect someone with rheumatoid arthritis?
output: For example, use a cane on the opposite side of the knee or hip joint with RA. It can take 20% to 30% of the weight off and make you more stable. You can also try pens, pencils, and toothbrushes with thick handles that make them easier to hold. To cut stress on your shoulders, use tools to help you reach for items on high shelves.
system: What are some tips to avoid strain on smaller joints?
output: Use your large, strong joints to spare smaller, fragile ones. Try these tips: Carry a shoulder bag instead of a clutch or handbag. Hold grocery bags in your arms, close to your body. Don't grip them with your hands. Hold small items in your palms instead of your fingers. Use both hands or your shoulder to open heavy doors. Hold items with two hands instead of one.
system: How does practicing good posture affect rheumatoid arthritis?
output: It protects your shoulder, hip, and knee joints. When you lift, keep your back straight and your feet wide apart. When you're in a chair, rest your feet flat on the floor. Sit upright and lift your chest.
system: How does losing weight affect rheumatoid arthritis?
output: If you carry extra pounds, be kind to your joints and shed a few. Added body weight puts more stress on your hips, knees, and feet. Research shows smoking can make it harder to treat the disease.
system: How does stopping smoking affect rheumatoid arthritis?
output: Those extra pounds can make it harder to keep your RA joint pain and symptoms under control. Recent studies found that smokers with rheumatoid arthritis were less likely to benefit from two common treatments -- methotrexate and certain biologic drugs.
system: What is an posterior wall prolapse?
output: â Posteriorâ means back. These prolapses happen when the tissue between your vagina and rectum (the end of your large bowel) stretches or separates from the bones in your pelvis. There are two kinds of posterior wall prolapse: Rectocele. Doctors also call this a ârectal wall prolapse.â It happens when your rectum drops down and forward and then bulges into the back wall of your vagina. Rectal prolapse. This is different than a rectocele or rectal wall prolapse. With a rectal prolapse, part of your rectum turns inside out and pokes out through your anus. At first, you might think it's a big hemorrhoid.
system: What is an apical prolapse?
output: â Apicalâ means near the apex, or top. There are three kinds of apical prolapse: Enterocele. If you have this, it means your small intestine has dropped down and is bulging into the upper part of the back wall of your vagina. This can also happen at the top of your vagina, where the intestine sits on top and sinks down into it. Uterine. This is when your uterus (womb) drops into your vagina. Uterine prolapses are the second most common kind of prolapse. Your risk goes up as you get older. Vaginal vault. If you've had your uterus taken out (hysterectomy), your vagina may drop down toward its opening between your legs. That's because the uterus provides support for the top of the vagina. If it's removed during surgery, there's nothing for the vagina to hold on to. In severe cases, your vagina could turn inside out and fall through the vaginal opening.
system: What is an anterior vaginal wall prolapse?
output: â Anteriorâ means front. An anterior prolapse can happen if you've had your uterus taken out (hysterectomy). There are two types of prolapses that can occur in the front side of your vagina, and they're the most common kinds of pelvic organ prolapse. They are: Bladder. This is also called a âcystocele.â It happens when your bladder drops down into your vagina. A cystocele can be mild, moderate, or severe, depending on how far your bladder drops. Urethra. When your bladder prolapses, the tube that carries pee out of your body (the urethra) can prolapse, too. Your doctor might call this a âurethrocele.â If both your bladder and urethra prolapse, it's called a âcystourethrocele.â As these prolapses get worse, you might feel -- and see -- them bulging out of your vagina.
system: Why should you tell your doctor about supplements you're taking along with phosphatidylserine?
output: Talk to your doctor before taking this supplement if you also take: Any type of blood thinner or have any blood-clotting problems Anti-inflammatory medicines used for arthritis, headaches, or pain Performance-enhancing drugs or supplements used to increase athletic performance or stamina Always tell your doctor about any supplements you are taking, including natural ones and those bought without a prescription. That way, your doctor can check on any potential side effects or interactions with any medications.
system: Does phosphatidylserine interact with other drugs?
output: Talk to your doctor before taking this supplement if you also take: Any type of blood thinner or have any blood-clotting problems Anti-inflammatory medicines used for arthritis, headaches, or pain Performance-enhancing drugs or supplements used to increase athletic performance or stamina Always tell your doctor about any supplements you are taking, including natural ones and those bought without a prescription.
system: Where can you get phosphatidylserine?
output: It covers and protects the cells in your brain and carries messages between them. Again, there is not enough evidence that phosphatidylserine is of any help in treating this condition. The supplement used in early studies was made from brain cells taken from cattle.
system: How does phosphatidylserine interact with other drugs?
output: It covers and protects the cells in your brain and carries messages between them. Many people can take the soy-derived supplement without any side effects. Talk to your doctor before taking this supplement if you also take: Any type of blood thinner or have any blood-clotting problems Anti-inflammatory medicines used for arthritis, headaches, or pain Performance-enhancing drugs or supplements used to increase athletic performance or stamina Always tell your doctor about any supplements you are taking, including natural ones and those bought without a prescription.
system: What is phosphatidylserine?
output: It covers and protects the cells in your brain and carries messages between them. Phosphatidylserine plays an important role in keeping your mind and memory sharp. Animal studies suggest that the level of this substance in the brain decreases with age. Much more research is needed to confirm these results.
system: What are the risks of taking phosphatidylserine?
output: It covers and protects the cells in your brain and carries messages between them. Many people can take the soy-derived supplement without any side effects. Research is still preliminary but it is likely safe up to 600 milligrams a day for no more than 10 days. They may include: Gas Stomach upset Trouble sleeping However, optimal doses of phosphatidylserine have not been established for any condition.
system: Why do people take phosphatidylserine?
output: Phosphatidylserine is taken to try to prevent memory loss and mental decline that may occur as you get older. Research is still preliminary but it is likely safe up to 600 milligrams a day for no more than 10 days. Talk to your doctor before taking this supplement if you also take: Any type of blood thinner or have any blood-clotting problems Anti-inflammatory medicines used for arthritis, headaches, or pain Performance-enhancing drugs or supplements used to increase athletic performance or stamina Always tell your doctor about any supplements you are taking, including natural ones and those bought without a prescription.
system: Is research still being done on the effectiveness of immunotherapy for treating cancer?
output: Several immunotherapy drugs have been approved to fight cancer, and hundreds more are being tested in clinical trials (research studies that use volunteers to test new medicines). If immunotherapy seems like the best way to fight your cancer, your doctor may know of a clinical trial you can join.
system: Should I ask my doctor if immunotherapy is right to treat my cancer?
output: Immunotherapy drugs help your immune system work harder or make it easier for it to find and get rid of cancer cells. Several immunotherapy drugs have been approved to fight cancer, and hundreds more are being tested in clinical trials (research studies that use volunteers to test new medicines). If immunotherapy seems like the best way to fight your cancer, your doctor may know of a clinical trial you can join.
system: Can immunotherapy work when other cancer treatments don't?
output: There are many reasons your doctor might think immunotherapy is a good choice for you: Immunotherapy may work when other treatments don't. Some cancers (like skin cancer) don't respond well to radiation or chemotherapy but start to go away after immunotherapy.
system: Will my body get used to the immunotherapy used to treat my cancer?
output: Over time, immunotherapy may stop having an effect on your cancer cells. This means that even if it works at first, your tumor could start to grow again.
system: Is immunotherapy a quick fix to treat my cancer?
output: In some cases, immunotherapy takes longer to work than other treatments. Your cancer may not go away quickly.
system: How will I know if immunotherapy is right for treating my cancer?
output: If your doctor suggests immunotherapy to fight your cancer, there's a lot to talk to them about before you decide if it's right for you.
system: How does immunotherapy treat cancer?
output: Your immune system is made up of your white blood cells plus the organs and tissues of your lymph system, like your bone marrow. Its main job is to help your body fight off disease and stay healthy. Immunotherapy drugs help your immune system work harder or make it easier for it to find and get rid of cancer cells. It can help other cancer treatments work better. When you have immunotherapy, your immune system learns to go after cancer cells if they ever come back.
system: What are the risks of immunotherapy when treating cancer?
output: The area where the medication goes into your body could hurt, itch, swell, turn red, or get sore. Most of the time, these ease up after your first treatment. It isn't a quick fix.
system: Can immunotherapy cause fewer side effects than other cancer treatments?
output: It causes fewer side effects than other treatments. This is because it targets just your immune system and not all the cells in your body. There are side effects. Most of the time, these ease up after your first treatment.
system: Who is more likely to get breast cancer?
output: Women over 50 are more likely to get breast cancer than younger women.
system: What increases your likelihood of getting breast cancer?
output: If a first-degree relative (mother, sister, daughter) had breast cancer, you're two times more likely to get the disease. This is especially true if she got cancer before menopause or if it affected both breasts. Mutations, or changes, to two genes -- BRCA1 and BRCA2 -- are responsible for some cases of breast cancer in families. About 1woman in 200 has one of these genes. While they make you more likely to get cancer, they don't ensure that you will. These genes also raise your odds of ovarian cancer and are linked to pancreatic cancer and male breast cancer.
system: Is breast cancer treatable?
output: Fortunately, breast cancer is very treatable if detected early. Localized cancer (meaning it hasn't spread outside your breast) can usually be treated successfully before the cancer spreads. Once the cancer begins to spread, treatment becomes more extensive. Improved screening tests and treatment options mean about 8 out of 10 women with breast cancer will survive at least 10 years after initial diagnosis. Intracavitary brachytherapy: This is the most common type of brachytherapy for women with breast cancer.
system: Where does breast cancer develop?
output: Breast cancer usually begins in a small, confined area in the or glands, which produce milk (lobular carcinoma) or the ducts (ductal carcinoma), which carry it to the nipple. Stage IV (metastatic) breast cancer. If the tests find breast cancer, you and your doctor will develop a treatment plan to get rid of the cancer, to lower the odds that it will come back, as well as to reduce the chance of it moving to outside of your breast.
system: How does breast cancer develop?
output: Breast cancer usually begins in a small, confined area in the or glands, which produce milk (lobular carcinoma) or the ducts (ductal carcinoma), which carry it to the nipple. It can grow larger in the breast and spread through channels to nearby lymph nodes or through your bloodstream to other organs. The cancer may grow and invade tissue around the breast, such as the skin or chest wall. Different types of breast cancer grow and spread at different rates -- some take years to spread beyond the breast, while others grow and spread quickly. Some you can control; others you can't. Biopsy. Stage IV (metastatic) breast cancer. If the tests find breast cancer, you and your doctor will develop a treatment plan to get rid of the cancer, to lower the odds that it will come back, as well as to reduce the chance of it moving to outside of your breast.
system: Does DNA fingerprinting have medical uses?
output: Identify diseases that are passed down through your family. Help find cures for those diseases, called hereditary conditions.
system: What is DNA fingerprinting?
output: It can: Physically connect a piece of evidence to a person or rule out someone as a suspect. DNA fingerprinting is extremely accurate.
system: What is DNA?
output: It's used as evidence in courts, to identify bodies, track down blood relatives, and to look for cures for disease. They pair up with another to form what are called base pairs. Your DNA has about 3 billion of these couples. The way they're strung together tells your cells how to make copies of each other. The complete set of your compounds is known as a genome. More than 99.9 % of everyone's genome is exactly alike (100% if you are identical twins). But the tiny bit that's not is what makes you physically and mentally different from someone else. Lab workers treat the sample with chemicals to separate the DNA, which is then dissolved in water.
system: Should I carry my shopping bags carefully if I have rheumatoid arthritis?
output: Carry carefully. Carry shopping bags over your forearm. You'll spare the weaker joints in your fingers and wrist. Whenever possible, put your purchases in a backpack or bag with a shoulder or cross-body strap.
system: What should I tell my friends if I have rheumatoid arthritis?
output: Be clear with your friends. Before you head out, be up-front about how your RA affects you. Ask your friends to be flexible. You may need to pare down the schedule a little and take time for breaks. Don't keep mum and then overdo it, or you could risk a flare.
system: How can I make shopping easier if I have rheumatoid arthritis?
output: Carry carefully. You'll spare the weaker joints in your fingers and wrist. Whenever possible, put your purchases in a backpack or bag with a shoulder or cross-body strap. If shoulder pain makes it hard to reach high shelves, bring along a reacher -- a rod with a clamp at the end. Lots of stores have motorized scooters. Some have people on staff who can help you.
system: How does marijuana work to treat migraines?
output: Marijuana is another name for cannabis, a bushy plant that's used to make paper, rope, and other products. Inside your brain and other parts of your body, you have a network of cannabinoid receptors. These are tiny loops of protein that affect how you feel pain. Marijuana has natural compounds called cannabinoids. When you use it, these cannabinoids go into your body and look for the receptors. They change how the receptors work, and they can calm down pain signals. Cannabinoids may also help with nausea, anxiety, muscle spasms, or other health problems. THC is the cannabinoid in marijuana that gets most of the attention. It's what makes you feel high or relaxed. But another product made from cannabis called cannabidiol ( CBD) doesn't make you feel intoxicated and may help ease pain. Several states have made it legal for CBD to be used for medical reasons.
system: Do I need surgery for lichen sclerosus?
output: Surgery to remove patches on the genital area of women doesn't happen much, since the patches return. If a woman has severe vaginal scarring that causes problems with sex, surgery can help. But it's only an option once the condition is under control. Surgery to treat lichen sclerosus in men can be a good option. Doctors often do a circumcision, which is removing the foreskin of the penis. After that, the condition probably won't come back.
system: What are ways to feel better when you have lichen sclerosus?
output: Add a few inches of warm water to your bathtub and relax. A bath can help with discomfort caused by itching and scratching. Talk to your doctor about over-the-counter antihistamine skin creams to help with any discomfort. Avoid tight clothing, perfumed genital sprays, harsh skin cleansers, and scented dryer or fabric sheets. It may also help to wear cotton underwear during the day and no underwear when sleeping at night.
system: What should I do for lichen sclerosus on the genitals?
output: Although there's no cure for lichen sclerosus, there are treatments that can help. If you have it on your genitals, you should get it treated, even if you don't have symptoms. When left untreated, it can lead to problems with sex or urination. Patches on other parts of the body usually go away with time.
system: What are treatments for lichen sclerosus?
output: Your doctor will probably first give you a steroid cream to put on the problem area. This can stop the itching. But it may take longer -- a few weeks or months --for the skin to return to a more normal appearance. You may need to use these creams or ointments for a long period of time to keep the condition from coming back. You'll need to keep up with your doctor appointments, since long-term use of steroid creams or ointments can make the skin become red or thin and cause stretch marks. The treatment can also cause genital yeast infections.
system: What causes lichen sclerosus?
output: Doctors don't know why some people get lichen sclerosus. They think it may be due to genes, hormones, an infection, or some combination of these things. Another theory is that your immune system attacks your skin. It may even be caused by an old skin injury.
system: How is lichen sclerosus diagnosed?
output: Your doctor may do a physical exam and check on how your skin looks. He may order a biopsy, too. That means he will remove a small piece of your skin and send it to a lab to be viewed under a microscope. This will confirm or rule out the diagnosis.
system: What is lichen sclerosus?
output: The condition mostly affects adult women after menopause. But other people can get it, too. Although there's no cure, there are treatments to manage your symptoms. Another theory is that your immune system attacks your skin.
system: How can I avoid extreme jaw movements to treat temporomandibular disorders (TMD)?
output: Keep yawning and chewing (especially gum or ice) to a minimum and don't yell, sing, or do anything that forces you to open wide.
system: What causes temporomandibular disorders (TMD)?
output: We don't know what causes TMD. Dentists believe symptoms arise from problems with the muscles of your jaw or with the parts of the joint itself. Injury to your jaw, the joint, or the muscles of your head and neck -- like from a heavy blow or whiplash -- can lead to TMD. Other causes include: Grinding or clenching your teeth, which puts a lot of pressure on the joint Movement of the soft cushion or disc between the ball and socket of the joint Arthritis in the joint Stress, which can cause you to tighten facial and jaw muscles or clench the teeth TMD often causes severe pain and discomfort.
system: How can trigger-point injections treat temporomandibular disorders (TMD)?
output: Pain medication or anesthesia is injected into tender facial muscles called "trigger points" to give relief.
