system: What causes sensory processing disorder?
output: But a 2006 study of twins found that hypersensitivity to light and sound may have a strong genetic component. Other experiments have shown that children with sensory processing problems have abnormal brain activity when they are simultaneously exposed to light and sound. Still other experiments have shown that children with sensory processing problems will continue to respond strongly to a stroke on the hand or a loud sound, while other children quickly get used to the sensations.
system: What is it like to have sensory processing disorder?
output: Common sounds may be painful or overwhelming. The light touch of a shirt may chafe the skin. Others with sensory processing disorder may: Be uncoordinated Bump into things Be unable to tell where their limbs are in space Be hard to engage in conversation or play Sensory processing problems are usually identified in children.
system: What therapy is available for sensory processing disorder?
output: The therapy was developed by Stanley Greenspan, MD, and Serena Wieder, Ph D. A major part of this therapy is the "floor-time" method. The method involves multiple sessions of play with the child and parent. The play sessions last about 20 minutes. During the sessions, parents are first asked to follow the child's lead, even if the playtime behavior isn't typical. For example, if a child is rubbing the same spot on the floor over and over, the parent does the same. These actions allow the parent to "enter" into the child's world. This is followed by a second phase, where parents use the play sessions to create challenges for the child. The challenges help pull the child into what Greenspan calls a "shared" world with the parent. And the challenges create opportunities for the child to master important skills in areas such as: Relating Communicating Thinking The sessions are tailored to the child's needs. For instance, if the child tends to under-react to touch and sound, the parent needs to be very energetic during the second phase of the play sessions.
system: How is sensory processing disorder treated?
output: But in general, it involves helping children do better at activities they're normally not good at and helping them get used to things they can't tolerate. Treatment for sensory processing problems is called sensory integration. The goal of sensory integration is to challenge a child in a fun, playful way so he or she can learn to respond appropriately and function more normally.

system: What are the phases of mycosis fungoides?
output: But not everyone goes through all of them: First phase: a scaly red rash, usually in areas that don't get sunlight such as your rear end. There are no other symptoms in this phase, and it may last months or even years. Second phase:a thin red rash that looks like patches. Third phase:small raised bumps or hard plaques that may be red. Fourth phase: tumors or bumps that may look like mushrooms. They can break open and get infected. You can have patches, plaques, and tumors at the same time. But most people who've had mycosis fungoides for many years only have the first two.
system: Is there a cure for mycosis fungoides?
output: Mycosis fungoides is rarely cured, but some people stay in remission for a long time. In early stages, it's often treated with medicines or therapies that target just your skin. Your doctor may use more than one approach: Creams, gels, or lotions: These include corticosteroids, vitamin A medicines called retinoids, and chemotherapy drugs that are spread on the skin.
system: How is radiation for mycosis fungoides given?
output: It's given in two ways: Total skin radiation: Your whole body may need it if you have mycosis fungoides spots in lots of places. Spot treatment: If you only have a few trouble spots, radiation can target just those areas. This is often used when other therapies haven't worked.
system: How does targeted and biologic therapy help with mycosis fungoides?
output: Targeted and biologic therapy: Some drugs identify and attack specific parts of cancer cells. Others boost your immune system to fight them.
system: How does chemotherapy help with mycosis fungoides?
output: If your cancer is more advanced, your doctor may suggest whole body therapies. These include: Chemotherapy: Strong drugs target cancer and other cells that divide quickly.
system: Where does mycosis fungoides spread?
output: It usually doesn't go beyond the skin. Many people live a normal life while treating the rash. However, in 10% of people, the cancer spreads to lymph nodes or other organs, which can be serious. Some people also develop SÃ©zary syndrome. The cancerous cells are found in your blood, and almost all your skin is affected. It may look like you have sunburn, and your skin may itch like crazy. SÃ©zary syndrome grows and spreads fast and is more difficult to treat than mycosis fungoides.
system: What are some tips for dealing with mycosis fungoides?
output: This cancer can make your skin very dry and itchy. Here are a few things you can do: Take short, lukewarm baths or showers. Long, hot ones can make dryness and itchiness worse. Pat your skin dry -- don't rub it. Use an unscented skin moisturizer after bathing so moisture gets locked in. Put a cold compress on areas that are really itchy.
system: How do retinoid pills help with mycosis fungoides?
output: Retinoid pills: These change the way cancer cells grow and mature.
system: How does phototherapy treat mycosis fungoides?
output: Phototherapy: This uses ultraviolet light rays to heal the skin. Sometimes, you take a drug beforehand that makes T-cells more sensitive to the light.
system: What creams, gels, or lotions can treat mycosis fungoides?
output: Your doctor may use more than one approach: Creams, gels, or lotions: These include corticosteroids, vitamin A medicines called retinoids, and chemotherapy drugs that are spread on the skin. They can clear the rash, control the cancer, and get rid of the itch.
system: Is SÃ©zary syndrome the same as mycosis fungoides?
output: When cancerous T-cells are found in your blood as well as in your skin, it's called SÃ©zary syndrome. It's not clear if SÃ©zary syndrome is an advanced form of mycosis fungoides or something different.
system: What helps dry and itchy skin from mycosis fungoides?
output: This cancer can make your skin very dry and itchy. Here are a few things you can do: Take short, lukewarm baths or showers. Long, hot ones can make dryness and itchiness worse. Pat your skin dry -- don't rub it. Use an unscented skin moisturizer after bathing so moisture gets locked in. Put a cold compress on areas that are really itchy. The Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation has an online community that can offer more tips and support.
system: How is mycosis fungoides diagnosed?
output: It can be hard for your doctor to know for sure that you have mycosis fungoides. The patches or plaques can look like eczema, psoriasis, or another common skin problem. It's possible to have it for years before you get the right diagnosis. Your doctor will take a small sample of your skin -- a biopsy -- and put it under a microscope to look for signs of the cancer. You might need several biopsies to confirm it.
system: How does radiation treat mycosis  fungoides?
output: Radiation: Electron beam radiation works well against mycosis fungoides. It uses very tiny electrically charged particles (electrons) to target and kill cancer cells. This type of radiation only enters the upper layers of your skin, so deeper tissues and organs are safe.
system: How does photopheresis treat mycosis fungoides?
output: Photopheresis: This therapy uses ultraviolent light to treat cancerous cells in your blood. It's like giving blood, but instead of it going into a collection bag, blood goes into a special machine that takes out T-cells. They're treated with a drug and then exposed to the UV rays. The cells are mixed back in with the rest of your blood and returned to your body. This usually is used to treat advanced cases of mycosis fungoides and SÃ©zary syndrome. Doctors think it works by killing some cancer cells and by boosting your body's immune attack against other ones.

system: How can you eat healthy to control your diabetes?
output: This is crucial when you have diabetes, because what you eat affects your blood sugar. No foods are strictly off-limits. Focus on eating only as much as your body needs. Get plenty of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. Choose nonfat dairy and lean meats. Limit foods that are high in sugar and fat. Remember that carbohydrates turn into sugar, so watch your carb intake. Try to keep it about the same from meal to meal. This is even more important if you take insulin or drugs to control your blood sugars.
system: How can stress affect how you control your diabetes?
output: When you're stressed, your blood sugar levels go up. And when you're anxious, you may not manage your diabetes well. You may forget to exercise, eat right, or take your medicines. Find ways to relieve stress -- through deep breathing, yoga, or hobbies that relax you.
system: How can alcohol affect how you control your diabetes?
output: Watch your alcohol. It may be easier to control your blood sugar if you don't get too much beer, wine, and liquor. So if you choose to drink, don't overdo it. The American Diabetes Association says that women who drink alcohol should have no more than one drink a day and men should have no more than two. Alcohol can make your blood sugar go too high or too low. Check your blood sugar before you drink, and take steps to avoid low blood sugars. If you use insulin or take drugs for your diabetes, eat when you're drinking. Some drinks -- like wine coolers -- may be higher in carbs, so take this into account when you count carbs.
system: How much should you exercise to help control your diabetes?
output: You don't have to join a gym and do cross-training. Just walk, ride a bike, or play active video games. Your goal should be 30 minutes of activity that makes you sweat and breathe a little harder most days of the week. An active lifestyle helps you control your diabetes by bringing down your blood sugar. It also lowers your chances of getting heart disease. And when you're anxious, you may not manage your diabetes well.
system: How can smoking affect how you control your diabetes?
output: This is even more important if you take insulin or drugs to control your blood sugars. Exercise. Diabetes raises your odds of heart disease. Smoking also can make it harder to exercise. Talk with your doctor about ways to quit.
system: What is hydrotherapy?
output: These symptoms mean the temperature was too extreme and may have caused skin damage: Skin that's purplish-red, dark red, or a spotty red and white color Hives Swelling Blisters Showers and baths aren't just for mornings. When you're hurting, stand under or settle into warm water for a few minutes to help soothe and relax you. ( If you're over 70 or have heart problems, check with your doctor before getting into a hot tub.) Try a warm shower or bath before you exercise to help loosen joints and muscles. Use cool water after exercise to help calm deep, burning pain and reduce inflammation.
system: When should you call a doctor about heat or ice treatment?
output: Call your doctor if you notice any of the following signs after removing the compress. These symptoms mean the temperature was too extreme and may have caused skin damage: Skin that's purplish-red, dark red, or a spotty red and white color Hives Swelling Blisters Showers and baths aren't just for mornings.
system: What is heated wax therapy?
output: Another way to apply heat -- especially to hands, elbows, and feet -- is warm, melted paraffin. You can buy paraffin wax kits at your local drugstore or beauty supply. A heated container safely melts the wax and mineral oil to make a paraffin bath. Dip your achy body part into the bath several times to build up a warm layer. Take it out of the bath, and cover it with plastic and wrap in a towel for 10-15 minutes until the wax cools. Unwrap and peel the wax away. To avoid irritation and pain, make sure the skin that you treat has no cuts or sores.
system: What items can be used in heat or ice treatment?
output: Each can give you relief from these symptoms: Muscle aches, spasms, and pains Lower and upper back pain Stiff, swollen, or tender joints Neck stiffness Finger, hand, or wrist pain Knee pain For short-term pain relief of any of these conditions, apply a hot or cold compress using any of these items: An electric heating pad A gel pack that can be microwaved or frozen A bag of ice or frozen vegetables A washcloth or small towel soaked in hot or cold water (wring it out, fold it, and apply to the sore area) Whether you use heat or cold, be sure to wrap the pack in a thin towel to help protect your skin.
system: When should you use heat and when should you use ice for pain?
output: Heat boosts the flow of blood and nutrients to an area of the body. It often works best for morning stiffness or to warm up muscles before activity. Cold slows blood flow, reducing swelling and pain. It's often best for short-term pain, like that from a sprain or a strain.
system: How do you do heat or ice therapy for aches and pains?
output: Heat boosts the flow of blood and nutrients to an area of the body. Cold slows blood flow, reducing swelling and pain. It's often best for short-term pain, like that from a sprain or a strain. Each can give you relief from these symptoms: Muscle aches, spasms, and pains Lower and upper back pain Stiff, swollen, or tender joints Neck stiffness Finger, hand, or wrist pain Knee pain For short-term pain relief of any of these conditions, apply a hot or cold compress using any of these items: An electric heating pad A gel pack that can be microwaved or frozen A bag of ice or frozen vegetables A washcloth or small towel soaked in hot or cold water (wring it out, fold it, and apply to the sore area) Whether you use heat or cold, be sure to wrap the pack in a thin towel to help protect your skin. Apply to the painful area for 15-20 minutes several times each day.
system: Is pain management important in treating lung cancer?
output: Pain management is also key. At any point in your treatment, tell your doctor if you're in pain. If your doctor mentions âpalliative care,â that includes helping you feel comfortable, managing pain, and improving your life as much as possible. It's not the same as hospice care, which focuses on preparing for the end of life.
system: Is it important to pay attention to my emotions if I am diagnosed with lung cancer?
output: Pay attention to your emotions, too. Dealing with cancer is hard. It's normal to feel a lot of strong emotions, including fear, anger, and sadness. It can help to talk with a counselor or join a support group to help you work through those feelings and face the many challenges that come with a cancer diagnosis.
system: Is non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) common?
output: Non-small-cell lung cancer ( NSCLC) is the more common one. It accounts for about 85% of lung cancers. They include a group of cancers that generally grow and spread less rapidly than small-cell lung cancer.
system: Who gets lung cancer?
output: It's much more common among people who smoke. Quitting makes that less likely, and never lighting up is even better. But people who have never smoked can get it too. Lung cancer is rare for people under 45 years old. On average, people are diagnosed at 70.
system: Does diet affect lung cancer risk?
output: Some studies suggest that eating healthy can lower your risk, along with giving you many other benefits for the rest of your body. Many studies have tried to reduce the risk of lung cancer in current or former smokers by giving them high doses of vitamins or vitamin-like drugs, but none of these trials have worked out. In one study, a nutrient related to vitamin A called beta-carotene actually increased the rate of lung cancer for people who smoke. So, ask your doctor before you start any supplements.
system: What is involved in the process of staging for lung cancer?
output: It depends on what type of lung cancer you have and how advanced it is. This usually involves getting a CT scan of the chest and abdomen, and possibly a PET scan. You may also get a bone scan, a CT or MRI scan of the brain, and other tests.
system: What are the treatments for advanced lung cancer?
output: You might get radiation and chemotherapy to shrink tumors and help control symptoms. Before recommending which treatment or combination of treatments is right for you, your doctor will determine how advanced your lung cancer is, a process called staging.
system: What raises my risk of lung cancer?
output: Although the disease is the No. It's much more common among people who smoke. Other risk factors are exposure to asbestos, radon gas, air pollution, and having had radiation therapy before. Smoking is almost always the cause.
system: Can non-smokers get lung cancer?
output: But people who have never smoked can get it too. For some of these people, breathing in secondhand smoke may be a culprit, or there may be genetic or environmental causes, such as if you work with asbestos or are exposed to high levels of radon over a long time.
system: Does insurance cover eyelid surgery?
output: Health insurance companies typically don't cover cosmetic procedures. If you're getting eyelid surgery for a medical reason (for instance, because your eyelids are drooping so much that it affects your vision), and if a vision test confirms that, your insurance company may cover it. Check on that before you get the surgery so you know exactly what you will pay.
system: What should you prepare at home before eyelid surgery?
output: At home, you should have the following items ready: Ice cubes Ice pack (or you can use freezer bags filled with ice, frozen corn, or peas) Small gauze pads Eye drops or artificial tears (ask your doctor to recommend the proper type to meet your particular needs) Clean washcloths and towels Over-the-counter painkillers (which your doctor can recommend) Advil, Motrin, Naproxen, Aleve, and aspirin should not be used due to the increased risk of bleeding.
system: Who is a good candidate for eyelid surgery?
output: The best candidates for an eye lift are people who are in good health and who have realistic expectations. Most are 35 years or older, but if baggy eyelids or droopy eyelids run in your family, you may decide to have the surgery done sooner. Eyelid surgery can enhance your appearance and help build your confidence. However, it may not result in your ideal look or alter your facial structure. Before you decide to have surgery, think about your goals and discuss them with your surgeon.
system: How will I know if my insurance company covers varicose veins?
output: An estimated 30% to 60% of adults have varicose veins, but they are generally not a problem..
system: What are spider veins?
output: Spider veins are smaller, red, purple, and blue vessels that are also twisted and turning. Spider veins are easily visible through the skin as well. They are most often seen on the legs, chest, or face.
system: When is treatment for varicose veins not necessary?
output: Many people have no pain or other symptoms. For these individuals, no treatment is necessary, unless they want the veins removed for cosmetic reasons.
system: How can changing your lifestyle help with treating varicose vein?
output: Surgery is generally used to treat large varicose veins.
system: How do lasers and intense pulsed light help treat varicose veins?
output: These devices use heat energy to selectively damage or destroy abnormal veins. An advantage of these treatments is that no needles or sclerosing solutions are required; however, there may be some minor discomfort. Side effects do occur, including discoloration or staining and blister formation. Examples include Vasculight and Photo Derm.
system: How does surgery help treat varicose veins?
output: Surgical techniques to treat varicose veins include ligation (tying off of a vein) and stripping (removal of a long segment of vein), ambulatory phlebectomy, which allows for the removal of large surface veins through very small incisions that do not need stitches, and endoscopic vein surgery. Surgery is generally used to treat large varicose veins.
system: What is radiofrequency occlusion for varicose veins?
output: During this procedure, a small catheter is inserted into the vein to deliver radiofrequency energy to the vein wall, causing it to heat, collapse, and seal shut. The procedure is generally done in an outpatient or in-office setting and may be done under local anesthesia. Surgery may be performed using local, spinal, or general anesthesia.
system: When should you go to the emergency room for frostbite?
output: Some warning signs may include: Your skin color changes color or becomes hard. Your skin stays numb (you can't feel anything). You have severe pain as your skin thaws. Skin blisters start.
system: What is the advanced stage of frostbite?
output: Intermediate stage Skin becomes hard It looks shiny or waxy When the skin thaws, blisters filled with fluid or blood form Advanced stage Skin is very hard and cold to the touch Skin darkens quickly. It may look blue and later turn black Some people don't know they have frostbite because as it gets worse, you can't feel the area anymore.
system: What are some layering tips to avoid frostbite?
output: These cold-weather clothing tips can help: Layer your clothing, loosely. Tight clothing raises your risk of frostbite. Instead, choose loose layers that allow body heat to get around. You want three layers: The first should be of a material that helps keep you dry. The second goes over the first and should be made of an insulator like wool or fleece. The third should be worn on top and should be wind- and waterproof.
system: What should you watch for in frostbite?
output: It may look blue and later turn black Some people don't know they have frostbite because as it gets worse, you can't feel the area anymore. That's why it's important to watch for changes in skin color.
