system: When are you more likely to get Stevens-Johnson syndrome?
output: Some of the most common are: Medicines for gout, a painful form of arthritis -- especially allopurinol ( Aloprim, Zyloprim) Pain relievers such as acetaminophen ( Tylenol), ibuprofen ( Advil, Motrin), and naproxen sodium ( Aleve) Sulfa antibiotics, a kind of drug that fights infections (including Bactrim and Septra) Medicines that treat seizures or mental illness The medicines most likely to cause problems in kids are sulfa antibiotics, Tylenol, and drugs that treat seizures, especially carbamazepine ( Carbatrol, Tegretol). If you're going to get SJS, it will most likely happen in the first 2 months you're taking a drug. An infection, like pneumonia or the herpes virus that causes cold sores, can also trigger SJS. This happens more often with kids than adults. You're more likely to get SJS if you have: HIV or other problems with your immune system Had SJS before Certain genes you inherit from your parents Radiation treatments You'll be treated for SJS in the hospital by a special team of doctors and nurses.
system: What is recovery like after treatment for Stevens-Johnson syndrome?
output: You could be in the hospital from 2 to 4 weeks. It takes time to recover from SJS, and most people do. Severe cases can be fatal, though, especially during the 3 months after it started. The most common complications tend to be sepsis (an inflammatory reaction in your whole body), trouble breathing because fluid builds up in your lungs, or many organs that stop working. Your chances are better if you're young and otherwise healthy, but you're still at greater risk for up to a year. Sometimes SJS has effects that will show up years after you heal, including: Scars where your skin peeled Dry eyes that hurt in bright light Trouble seeing Infections in your gums or mouth Lung problems such as bronchitis, which causes a bad cough and trouble breathing There's often no way to know how you'll react to certain medicines -- even ones your doctor prescribes.
system: How is Stevens-Johnson syndrome treated?
output: You're more likely to get SJS if you have: HIV or other problems with your immune system Had SJS before Certain genes you inherit from your parents Radiation treatments You'll be treated for SJS in the hospital by a special team of doctors and nurses. Some people are treated in a burn center or intensive care unit. The first thing doctors will do is to stop the medication or treat the infection that made you sick. They'll also try to relieve your symptoms, prevent infections, and support your healing. Your body needs to stay hydrated, and your skin needs protein to rebuild. You'll probably get fluids from an IV at first, then be fed through a tube that goes into your stomach through your nose. Your care team will clean your eyes and use special drops and creams to keep them from drying out.
system: Does thyroid cancer require surgery?
output: Surgery is the most widely used method to get rid of thyroid cancer. If the entire thyroid gland is removed, It's called a thyroidectomy. If part of your thyroid gland is removed, the procedure is called a lobectomy. Your surgery may also include removing lymph nodes in the neck area, and tissue around the thyroid gland. It will depend on the size and location of the tumor.
system: How do I know how my thyroid cancer will be treated?
output: The treatment you get will depend on the type and stage of the cancer.
system: What does radioactive iodine ablation for thyroid cancer consist of?
output: Radioactive iodine ( RAI) ablation is used to destroy any thyroid tissue that's left after a thyroidectomy. The iodine goes to the thyroid tissue and the radiation destroys it. It may also be used for cancer that spreads to nearby lymph nodes, spreads to other parts of the body, or returns. The level of radiation in this treatment is far higher than what is used in a radioiodine scan. You may have a special diet that is low in iodine for 1 or 2 weeks before you get the treatment. If you take thyroid hormone pills, you may have to stop taking them for a while.
system: What is external beam radiation for thyroid cancer?
output: These treatments are mostly used for thyroid cancers that are less common or more advanced: External beam radiation, or X-ray therapy, uses radiation to destroy cancer cells. It is very carefully delivered to protect the rest of your body as much as possible. You'll get radiation therapy over several weeks.
system: What is chemotherapy for thyroid cancer?
output: Chemotherapy, or chemo, means using chemicals for treatment. For cancer, the medicines attack and kill fast-growing cells, like cancer cells. You may get pills, shots, or intravenous ( IV) chemo. It has side effects, but your doctor will help you to manage them.
system: What is the treatment for thyroid cancer?
output: It will depend on the size and location of the tumor. It may also be used for cancer that spreads to nearby lymph nodes, spreads to other parts of the body, or returns. Usually, there are fewer side effects than with chemotherapy.
system: What is targeted therapy for thyroid cancer?
output: It may also be used for cancer that spreads to nearby lymph nodes, spreads to other parts of the body, or returns. The level of radiation in this treatment is far higher than what is used in a radioiodine scan. Usually, there are fewer side effects than with chemotherapy.
system: What is arrhythmia?
output: An irregular or abnormal heartbeat is called an arrhythmia. An arrhythmia (also called a dysrhythmia) can involve a change in the rhythm, producing an uneven heartbeat, or a change in the rate, causing a very slow or very fast heartbeat.
system: What are the different types of heart disease?
output: They can include: Coronary artery disease (including heart attack) Abnormal heart rhythms or arrhythmias Heart failure Heart valve disease Congenital heart disease Heart muscle disease (cardiomyopathy) Pericardial disease Aorta disease and Marfan syndrome Vascular disease (blood vessel disease) Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the U. S. It is important to learn about your heart to help prevent heart disease. Congenital heart disease is a type of defect in one or more structures of the heart or blood vessels that occur before birth.
system: How is tonsillitis caused by bacteria treated?
output: In these cases, antibiotics may be prescribed without performing a rapid strep test If tests reveal bacteria, treatment will consist of antibiotics to cure the infection. Antibiotics may be given as a single shot or taken 10 days by mouth. Although symptoms will likely improve within two or three days after starting the antibiotic, it's important to take all of the medication your doctor prescribes to make sure the bacteria are gone. Some people need to take a second course of antibiotics to cure the infection.
system: When would I need a tonsillectomy to treat tonsillitis?
output: Tonsils are an important part of the immune system throughout life, so it is best to avoid removing them. However, if tonsillitis is recurrent or persistent, or if enlarged tonsils cause upper airway obstruction or difficulty eating, surgical removal of the tonsils, called tonsillectomy, may be necessary. Most tonsillectomies involve using a conventional scalpel to remove the tonsils; however there are many alternatives to this traditional method. Increasingly doctors are using techniques such as lasers, radio waves, ultrasonic energy, or electrocautery to cut, burn, or evaporate away enlarged tonsils.
system: What are the symptoms of tonsillitis?
output: Other common causes include: Adenoviruses Influenza virus Epstein- Barr virus Parainfluenza viruses Enteroviruses Herpes simplex virus The main symptoms of tonsillitis are inflammation and swelling of the tonsils, sometimes severe enough to block the airways. Other symptoms include: Throat pain or tenderness Redness of the tonsils A white or yellow coating on the tonsils Painful blisters or ulcers on the throat Headache Loss of appetite Ear pain Difficulty swallowing or breathing through the mouth Swollen glands in the neck or jaw area Fever, chills Bad breath In children, symptoms may also include: Nausea Vomiting Abdominal pain Treatment for tonsillitis will depend in part on the cause.
system: What are the symptoms of tonsillitis in children?
output: Other symptoms include: Throat pain or tenderness Redness of the tonsils A white or yellow coating on the tonsils Painful blisters or ulcers on the throat Headache Loss of appetite Ear pain Difficulty swallowing or breathing through the mouth Swollen glands in the neck or jaw area Fever, chills Bad breath In children, symptoms may also include: Nausea Vomiting Abdominal pain Treatment for tonsillitis will depend in part on the cause.
system: What does post-surgery recovery for tonsillitis entail?
output: During the recovery period, it's important for your child to get enough rest. It's also important to make sure your child gets plenty of fluids; however, you should avoid giving your child milk products for the first 24 hours after surgery. Although throat pain may make your child reluctant to eat, the sooner your child eats, the sooner he or she will recover. For several days after surgery, your child may experience a low-grade fever and small specks of blood from the nose or saliva. If the fever is greater than 102 degrees Fahrenheit or if you see bright red blood, call your child's doctor right away. Prompt medical attention may be necessary.
system: How is tonsillitis caused by a virus treated?
output: If the tonsillitis is caused by a virus, antibiotics won't work and your body will fight off the infection on its own. In the meantime, there are things you can do to feel better, regardless of the cause. They include: Get enough rest Drink warm or very cold fluids to ease throat pain Eat smooth foods, such as flavored gelatins, ice cream, or applesauce Use a cool-mist vaporizer or humidifier in your room Gargle with warm salt water Suck on lozenges containing benzocaine or other anesthetics Take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
system: What should you expect after surgery for tonsillitis?
output: Tonsillectomy is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia and typically lasting between 30 minutes and 45 minutes. It is most commonly performed in children. Most children go home about four hours after surgery and require a week to 10 days to recover from it. Almost all children will have throat pain, ranging from mild to severe, after surgery. Some may experience pain in the ears, jaw, and neck. Your child's doctor will prescribe or recommend medication to ease the pain.
system: How is tonsillitis treated?
output: Other symptoms include: Throat pain or tenderness Redness of the tonsils A white or yellow coating on the tonsils Painful blisters or ulcers on the throat Headache Loss of appetite Ear pain Difficulty swallowing or breathing through the mouth Swollen glands in the neck or jaw area Fever, chills Bad breath In children, symptoms may also include: Nausea Vomiting Abdominal pain Treatment for tonsillitis will depend in part on the cause. To determine the cause, your doctor may perform a rapid strep test or throat swab culture. Both tests involve gently swabbing the back of the throat close to the tonsils with a cotton swab. A lab test can detect a bacterial infection. A viral infection will not show on the test, but may be assumed if the test for bacteria is negative. In some cases, the physical findings are convincing enough to diagnose a probable bacterial infection. In these cases, antibiotics may be prescribed without performing a rapid strep test If tests reveal bacteria, treatment will consist of antibiotics to cure the infection.
system: What causes tonsillitis?
output: A common cause is Streptococcus (strep) bacteria. Other common causes include: Adenoviruses Influenza virus Epstein- Barr virus Parainfluenza viruses Enteroviruses Herpes simplex virus The main symptoms of tonsillitis are inflammation and swelling of the tonsils, sometimes severe enough to block the airways. A lab test can detect a bacterial infection.
system: What is tonsillitis?
output: But sometimes the tonsils themselves become infected. Overwhelmed by bacteria or viruses, they swell and become inflamed, a condition known as tonsillitis. Tonsillitis is common, especially in children. The condition can occur occasionally or recur frequently. Both tests involve gently swabbing the back of the throat close to the tonsils with a cotton swab.
system: What are the do's and don'ts of shoe wear for people with diabetes?

system: Can managing blood sugar help with diabetes-related foot complications?
output: Diabetes & Your Feet: Dos and Don'ts of Foot Care One of the best things you can do for your feet is to keep your blood sugar levels under control. That can help prevent nerve damage, or peripheral neuropathy. It can cause you to lose feeling in your feet and not know when you get sores or other injuries on them. If you already have nerve damage, good blood-sugar control and careful foot care can prevent further damage. In some cases, it can even reverse nerve damage.
system: What can people with diabetes do to make their shoes most comfortable?
output: Shoe Tips Have at least two pairs of shoes so you can switch pairs. Break in new shoes slowly. Wear them for about an hour a day the first few days. Ask your doctor if you need special shoes that are fitted to your feet.

system: How does tailored medicine begin?
output: The field is still in its early stages, but doctors already use it for: Certain forms of cancer, including lung, breast, and colon cancer Rare childhood illnesses HIV and AIDS Cystic fibrosis Pharmacogenomics, or prescribing medication based on your genes Most of the time, tailored medicine begins with a genetic test. This may involve a blood or saliva sample, or in the case of cancer, a biopsy of your tumor. Your doctor will also talk to you about your health history, your condition, and your possible treatments.
system: Is tailored medicine right for you?
output: Tailored medicine is mostly used for people with advanced-stage cancers or conditions where there are few or no treatments, like rare childhood illnesses. If you think tailored medicine might work for you, talk to your doctor about it. You can ask, â Would getting a genetic test help guide my choice of treatment?â It's also a good idea to discuss genetic testing if you have things that raise your chances of certain health conditions, like a family history of it. If your genes show your odds are higher than average, your doctor may suggest ways to make it less likely that you'll get that disease. If your doctor says tailored medicine or targeted treatment isn't for you, standard medicines and treatments, like traditional chemotherapy for cancer, still work. And if one treatment doesn't help, your medical team will keep working with you to find others. Keep in mind that tailored medicine is still in its early stages. Medical centers and universities around the country are working to come up with new information that will help doctors pair the right patients with the right medications.
system: How does tailored medicine work?
output: They also might: Check your genes to decide if a medication will work for you Test cells in your tumor to find out what kind of treatment to use to treat it Do a genetic test to see if you have changes that make it more likely that you'll get certain diseases Tailored medicine isn't just about genetics, though. Doctors can also use your individual and family health history, things in your lifestyle like diet and exercise habits, and your environment (for example, pollution levels near you) to decide on the right treatment for you. If your genes show your odds are higher than average, your doctor may suggest ways to make it less likely that you'll get that disease.
system: What are the symptoms of tachycardia?
output: No matter which type of tachycardia you have, you may feel: Dizziness Lightheadedness Shortness of breath Chest pain Heart palpitations In extreme cases, you could become unconscious or go into cardiac arrest. But sometimes, a super-fast heart rate causes no symptoms at all.
system: What are the causes of sinus tachycardia?
output: Strenuous exercise, a fever, fear, stress, anxiety, certain medications, and street drugs can lead to sinus tachycardia. It can also be triggered by anemia, an overactive thyroid, or damage from a heart attack or heart failure.
system: What tests are used to diagnose tachycardia?
output: This records the electrical activity in your heart and helps your doctor search for things that don't look normal. You may have to wear a holter monitor, a portable machine that records your ECG signals over 24 hours. Exercise stress test. Your doctor will have you walk on a treadmill while he monitors your heart activity. Magnetic source imaging: This measures the heart muscle's magnetic fields and looks for weaknesses. These might include lifestyle changes like easing stress or taking medicine to lower a fever.
system: When should someone call their doctor after laser eye surgery?
output: If you have any questions, or if there's pain, a sudden decrease in vision, redness, or discharge from your eye, contact your doctor right away.
system: What are some precautions to take after laser eye surgery?
output: into your eyes during the first few days after surgery. Be careful when you're in the shower or bath. Be sure to keep soap out of your eye when you wash your hair, and watch out for hair spray and shaving lotion. Don't rub your eyes for at least a month. Don't drive until you feel comfortable. Get your doctor's OK first. Wear the eye shield/goggles the doctor gave you while you sleep for the first week. Keep tap water out of your eyes for at least a week. Avoid pools, whirlpools, saunas, and lakes for at least 3 weeks. No eye makeup for at least a week. Toss out partly used products to avoid an infection. Don't get your hair colored or permed for at least 10 days. No exercise for two days. Wear eye protection for at least a month once you start exercise and sports activities again. Bright sunshine may cause scarring, so wear sunglasses on bright days for at least a year.
system: What is an esophageal stricture?
output: Esophageal stricture: Over time, the damage caused by stomach acid can scar the lining of the esophagus.m When this scar tissue builds up, it makes the esophagus narrow. Called strictures, these narrow spots make it hard to swallow food and drinks, which can lead to weight loss and dehydration. Strictures are treated with a procedure that gently stretches your esophagus.
system: How can heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) lead to esophageal ulcers?
output: Esophageal ulcers: GERD is the top cause of ulcers, or sores in the lining of the esophagus. Symptoms include painful swallowing, nausea, and chest pain. Your doctor will prescribe medicine to control your GERD and treat the ulcer.
system: Where is your heart?
output: The heart is located under the rib cage, to the left of your breastbone (sternum) and between your lungs.
system: When do collateral vessels become active in the heart?
output: When the coronary arteries narrow to the point that blood flow to the heart muscle is limited (coronary artery disease), a network of tiny blood vessels in the heart that aren't usually open called collateral vessels may enlarge and become active. This allows blood to flow around the blocked artery to the heart muscle, protecting the heart tissue from injury.
system: How does the left side of the heart work?
output: Left side The pulmonary vein empties oxygen-rich blood from the lungs into the left atrium. As the atrium contracts, blood flows from your left atrium into your left ventricle through the open mitral valve. When the ventricle is full, the mitral valve shuts. This prevents blood from flowing backward into the atrium while the ventricle contracts. As the ventricle contracts, blood leaves the heart through the aortic valve, into the aorta and to the body.
system: What does the heart do?
output: Blood flows continuously through your body's blood vessels. On the inside, the heart is a four-chambered, hollow organ. Exercise, emotions, fever, and some medications can cause your heart to beat faster, sometimes to well over 100 beats per minute.
system: What is cardiac catheterization for heart disease?
output: Cardiac catheterization (also called cardiac cath or coronary angiogram) is an invasive imaging procedure that tests for heart disease by allowing your doctor to "see" the inside of the arteries and how well your heart is functioning. During the test, a long, narrow tube, called a catheter, is inserted into a blood vessel in your arm or leg and guided to your heart with the aid of a special X-ray machine. Contrast dye is injected through the catheter so that X-ray movies of your valves, coronary arteries, and heart chambers can be created.
