system: What are the advantages of ultrasound?
output: Ultrasounds offer many advantages: They are generally painless and do not require needles, injections, or incisions. Patients aren't exposed to ionizing radiation, making the procedure safer than diagnostic techniques such as X-rays and CT scans. In fact, there are no known harmful effects when used as directed by your health care provider. Ultrasound captures images of soft tissues that don't show up well on X-rays. Ultrasounds are widely accessible and less expensive than other methods.
system: How does ultrasound imaging work?
output: Ultrasound, also called sonography, uses sound waves to develop ultrasound images of what's going on inside the body. An instrument called a transducer emits high-frequency sound, inaudible to human ears, and then records the echoes as the sound waves bounce back to determine the size, shape, and consistency of soft tissues and organs. This technology can help diagnose and treat certain conditions. Depending on the type of ultrasound test you are having, your doctor may offer special instructions, such as not eating or drinking anything for a number of hours before the test. Often a technician will discuss what he or she is seeing during the test, but in some instances, you may need to wait to discuss the findings with your doctor.

For very mild cases of scleritis, an over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug ( NSAID) like ibuprofen may be enough to ease your eye inflammation and pain. Most of the time, though, a prescription medication called a corticosteroid is needed to treat the inflammation. It also can help with eye pain and may help protect your vision. It's rare, but if the sclera is torn or in danger of tearing, surgery may be needed to reinforce it.

system: How are vaginal creams used to treat vaginal yeast infection?
output: You can treat most vaginal yeast infections with an over-the-counter vaginal cream or suppository. Some of these products may come with a cream that you put on the opening of the vagina and surrounding tissue (called the "vulva") and not into the vagina. This type of cream may ease itching and treat the skin tissues while the vaginal antifungal cream treats the yeast infection. When you use a vaginal cream that's oil-based, you may need to use birth control that's not a condom or diaphragm, or skip sex. The oil in the cream could damage the latex in a condom or diaphragm. These products often come packaged with a plastic "inserter" that helps you get the medication to the right place. One benefit of a suppository is that it's less messy than a vaginal cream and less likely to ooze out during the day.

output: Read all package directions carefully first. When you use a vaginal cream that's oil-based, you may need to use birth control that's not a condom or diaphragm, or skip sex. These products often come packaged with a plastic "inserter" that helps you get the medication to the right place. Antifungal medications can change the way some drugs work. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking an antifungal if you are taking other medications. No matter which yeast infection treatment you try, see your doctor if your symptoms don't clear up after you finish it.

Sodium is a mineral found in many foods, especially salt. Eating too much salt causes the body to keep or retain too much water, worsening the fluid buildup that happens with heart failure. Following a low-salt diet helps keep high blood pressure and swelling (also called edema) under control. It can also make breathing easier if you have heart failure.
