system: How do skin tests help diagnose idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)?
output: Tuberculosis causes symptoms that are like IPF, so you may need a test to rule out this disease. Your doctor uses a tiny needle to inject a substance under the top layer of skin on your arm. This will form a small bubble, like a blister. You'll need to see your doctor or lab technician 48 to 72 hours later to see if there's a reaction, which will look like a red, swollen bump.
system: How does a breathing test help diagnose idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)?
output: You take a deep breath in and then blow as hard as you can into a tube connected to the device. You'll wear a clip on your nose so you can only breathe in and out of your mouth. It measures how well your lungs push oxygen through your bloodstream while you're moving around.
system: How do lung biopsies help diagnose idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)?
output: Your doctor clips a small sensor to the tip of your finger or ear. There are different ways to do it. Your doctor may put a needle through your chest, or he may put a long, thin tube through your mouth and down your throat. For some biopsies, you'll only need "local anesthesia," which is medicine that numbs an area on your body. For others you'll need drugs that make you sleep while the procedure is done. You may be asked to stop eating for 8 hours before the biopsy. Make sure to find out if there are any other ways you need to prepare.
system: How do exercise tests help diagnose idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)?
output: Your doctor may use a device called a spirometer to measure how well your lungs are working. You may have to walk on a treadmill or pedal a stationary bike while hooked up to devices that measure your heart rate, blood pressure, and how much oxygen is in your blood.
system: What other health problems can sleep apnea cause?
output: High blood pressure.
system: Which non drowsy antihistamines can you take for chronic hives?
output: The meds come in different forms: Non-drowsy: Your doctor will probably want you to try over-the-counter options like cetirizine ( Zyrtec), fexofenadine ( Allegra), and loratadine ( Claritin) first. They won't make you sleepy. They usually only cause mild side effects, like dry mouth and eyes. It's important to take these every day, not just when you have a breakout.
system: How is omalizumab (Xolair) used to treat chronic hives?
output: Omalizumab ( Xolair) is approved for those who don't get relief from antihistamines. Your doctor injects it under your skin. Experts think it blocks a different chemical in your immune system that contributes to hives.
system: What are the side effects of omalizumab (Xolair) for chronic hives?
output: Side effects of this medication include: Headache Upset stomach A slightly higher chance of heart disease or a stroke Rarely, a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis If those drugs don't work, your doctor may try anti-inflammatory medications or something called an immunosuppressant, which curbs your immune system.
system: How are antihistamines used for chronic hives?
output: Talk to your doctor about these options: These medications block something called histamine. That's a chemical in the skin that can cause allergy symptoms like hives.
system: How do steroids work to treat chronic hives?
output: If antihistamines don't help, your doctor might prescribe a corticosteroid. These drugs calm the immune system. That can make your hives less severe. You can get them in a shot or a pill.
system: What should you know about treating chronic hives?
output: When antihistamines and steroids don't work, there are a few more treatments that your doctor might suggest. Together, you and your doctor can decide the best treatment plan for your chronic hives.
system: What are some symptoms of brief psychotic disorder?
output: The most obvious ones include: Hallucinations: Someone might hear voices, see things that aren't there, or feel sensations on their skin even though nothing is touching their body. Delusions: These are false beliefs that someone refuses to give up, even in the face of facts.

output: Other symptoms are: Disorganized thinking Speech or language that doesn't make sense Unusual behavior and dress Problems with memory Disorientation or confusion Changes in eating or sleeping habits, energy level, or weight Not being able to make decisions Experts don't know what causes brief psychotic disorder. It is possible there is a genetic link since the condition is more common in people who have a family history of psychotic or mood disorders, such as depression or bipolar disorder. Another theory suggests that poor coping skills could trigger the disorder as a defense against or escape from a very frightening or stressful situation. In most cases, the disorder is triggered by a major stress or traumatic event. For some women, childbirth can be a trigger.
system: What can help get someone's life back on track who has brief psychotic order?

output: This is what doctors call psychotic symptoms that come on suddenly but last only for a short time -- less than 1 month. After that, people usually recover completely. There are three basic forms of brief psychotic disorders: Brief psychotic disorder with obvious stressor (also called brief reactive psychosis): This type happens shortly after a trauma or major stress, such as the death of a loved one, an accident, assault, or a natural disaster. It's usually a reaction to a very disturbing event. Brief psychotic disorder without obvious stressor: With this type, there is no apparent trauma or stress that triggers it. Brief psychotic disorder with postpartum onset: This type only happens in women, usually within 4 weeks of having a baby.
system: What are some newer medications that can help treat brief psychotic disorder?
output: These include: Chlorpromazine ( Thorazine) Fluphenazine ( Prolixin) Haloperidol ( Haldol) Loxapine ( Loxitane) Perphenazine ( Trilafon) Trifluoperazine ( Stelazine) Thioridazine ( Mellaril) Thiothixene ( Navane) Newer medications, which doctors call âatypical antipsychoticâ drugs, include: Aripiprazole ( Abilify) lozapine ( Clozaril) Lurasidone ( Latuda) Olanzapine ( Zyprexa) Paliperidone ( Invega) Quetiapine ( Seroquel) Risperidone ( Risperdal) Ziprasidone ( Geodon) If someone with this condition is very anxious or has problems with sleep, their doctor may prescribe tranquilizers such as diazepam ( Valium) and lorazepam ( Ativan).

Someone with brief psychotic disorder will probably get medication to treat psychotic symptoms and possibly also psychotherapy (a type of counseling). They may need to be hospitalized for a time if their symptoms are severe or if they might harm themselves or someone else. The earlier the treatment, the better the outcome. Medication : The doctor might prescribe antipsychotic drugs to ease or eliminate the symptoms and end the brief psychotic disorder. These include: Chlorpromazine ( Thorazine) Fluphenazine ( Prolixin) Haloperidol ( Haldol) Loxapine ( Loxitane) Perphenazine ( Trilafon) Trifluoperazine ( Stelazine) Thioridazine ( Mellaril) Thiothixene ( Navane) Newer medications, which doctors call âatypical antipsychoticâ drugs, include: Aripiprazole ( Abilify) lozapine ( Clozaril) Lurasidone ( Latuda) Olanzapine ( Zyprexa) Paliperidone ( Invega) Quetiapine ( Seroquel) Risperidone ( Risperdal) Ziprasidone ( Geodon) If someone with this condition is very anxious or has problems with sleep, their doctor may prescribe tranquilizers such as diazepam ( Valium) and lorazepam ( Ativan).

output: These include: muscular dystrophy amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ( Lou Gehrig's disease) polio Treatment for foot drop will depend on the cause.
system: How do you treat foot drop?
output: Early treatment may improve chances of recovery. Physical therapy is used to strengthen foot and leg muscles. It may improve a person's ability to walk. Surgery may be recommended to try to repair or decompress a damaged nerve. In cases where foot drop is permanent, surgery to fuse the foot and ankle joint or to transfer tendons from stronger muscles may help improve gait and stability.

Scientists use them to test new ways to treat cancer to see if they're safe and if they work. A clinical trial gives you a chance to try a new cancer treatment that isn't available to everyone. Many new types of immunotherapy are in clinical trials. Your doctor can let you know if one of these trials might be a good fit. You can also find clinical trials for your cancer on clinicaltrials.gov.
system: What other cancer treatments can I try if immunotherapy is not working?
output: This uses high-energy X-rays or another kind of radiation to kill cancer cells or stop their growth. This uses a powerful combination of drugs to kill or stop the growth of cancer cells.
