system: What are the symptoms of ketoacidosis?
output: If you have these symptoms, call your doctor: Thirstiness or a dry mouth Peeing a lot Feeling tired Dry or flushed skin Feeling sick to your stomach Throwing up Trouble breathing Confusion Fruity-smelling breath Pain in your belly When you have diabetes, throwing up can be especially dangerous.
system: In what cases do doctors suggest a ketogenic diet?
output: Doctors may put children who have epilepsy on a ketogenic diet, a special high-fat, very low-carb and protein plan because it might help prevent seizures. Adults with epilepsy sometimes eat modified Atkins diets.
system: How do you test your ketones?
output: You can buy test strips to check your pee at home. Some blood sugar meters can measure ketones in your blood. If you don't know how and when to test your ketones, talk to your doctor or diabetes instructor. High levels of ketones are dangerous.
system: How does the body use ketosis?
output: If you're healthy and eating a balanced diet, your body controls how much fat it burns so you don't normally make or use ketones. But when you cut way back on your calories or carbs, your body will switch to ketosis for energy. It can also happen after you exercise for a long time and during pregnancy. People with diabetes can get ketoacidosis, or diabetic ketoacidosis ( DKA), when they don't take enough insulin.
system: What is keratosis pilaris, and what does it look like?
output: !s_sensitive, chron ID: $('article embeded_module[type=video][align=top]:eq(0)').attr('chronic_id'), continuous Play: true, cp Options: { flyout: true }, display Ads: true, mode: 'in-article', sticky: true }) }); }); } else { $(function(){ $('.responsive-video-container').remove(); }); } Keratosis pilaris is a common, harmless skin condition. It causes small, hard bumps that may make your skin feel like sandpaper. The bumps are often light-colored. They usually appear on your upper arms, thighs, and buttocks, sometimes with redness or swelling. They can also show up on your face, but that's less common. Except for some itching, keratosis pilaris doesn't hurt and doesn't get worse. Many children and teens get it, and it usually disappears as they get older.
system: How can my doctor diagnose keratosis pilaris?
output: It causes small, hard bumps that may make your skin feel like sandpaper. Your doctor can diagnose keratosis pilaris by looking at your skin. You don't need to be tested for it.
system: What are the causes of keratosis pilaris?
output: It causes small, hard bumps that may make your skin feel like sandpaper. Keratosis pilaris is caused by a buildup of keratin, the protein that protects skin from infections and other harmful things. The buildup forms a plug that blocks the opening of a hair follicle, but doctors don't know what triggers the buildup. If you have dry skin, you're more likely to have keratosis pilaris. It's usually worse in the winter months, when there's less moisture in the air, and then may clear up in the summer. It often affects people with certain skin conditions, including eczema (also called atopic dermatitis).
system: What can I do to prevent keratosis pilaris?
output: It causes small, hard bumps that may make your skin feel like sandpaper. You can't prevent keratosis pilaris, but you can keep your skin moist to lessen its effects. Don't scratch at the bumps or rub your skin roughly. Use warm water rather than hot for bathing and showering. Limit your time in the water. Try soap that has added oil or fat. Use thick moisturizers generously on the skin. Add moisture to the air in your home with a humidifier.
system: How can I split up homework so my child with ADHD doesn't get bored or inattentive?
output: Does your child start strong, then sputter out? Split up assignments so she doesn't have to do it all at once. Instead of a solid hour, have her tackle three 20-minute sessions with playtime or a snack in between. Or switch subjects: math for 20 minutes, then English for another 20, then back to math. She'll struggle less, and her work may improve.
system: Is it ok to reward a child with ADHD for doing simple tasks like finishing their homework?
output: They're not bribes. It's OK to reward your child when she does a good job. A little encouragement can go a long way.
system: Where is the best place for a child with ADHD to do homework?
output: Choose one spot where your child can do his homework every day. Make sure it's away from distractions like noisy siblings and the TV. The seat should face a wall, not a window. White noise, from an MP3 player or a fan, can help drown out sounds to keep his mind on the work. Set up a schedule with a due date for each step.
system: Will homework ever get easier for my child with ADHD?
output: But for a child with ADHD, homework time can be extra hard. Assignments that might take other kids an hour can take yours 2 or 3 -- or more. A structured routine can help your son or daughter stay focused and on track.
system: How can I help my child with ADHD manage her time and get homework done?
output: But for a child with ADHD, homework time can be extra hard. A structured routine can help your son or daughter stay focused and on track. Ask your child to break down his homework into mini-assignments that take only a few minutes each. Then use an egg timer or alarm app to keep him on task for each section. Not only will it help him, but you won't have to nag as much. Like the daily assignments, break down big, long-term projects (like a diorama or a book report) into simple steps. Set up a schedule with a due date for each step. These small deadlines will help him get the project done on time. She may have a hard time later in the evening, after they wear off.
system: How is plantar fasciitis diagnosed?
output: Most cases of chickenpox are mild and go away on their own. But see your doctor right away if you develop any of the following symptoms: The rash spreads to one or both eyes The rash gets very red, warm, or tender. You could have a bacterial skin infection. Dizziness Shortness of breath Vomiting Stiff neck You can't control your muscles Fever over 102 F
system: What medical problems should you tell your doctor about before using alprostadil?
output: If you are allergic to any other substances such as drugs, foods, preservatives, or dyes If you take any prescription or over-the-counter drugs including herbal and dietary supplements If you have a penile implant If you have a history of priapism (a painful and prolonged erection not linked to sexual stimulation) Also, tell your doctor if you have any medical problems, especially: Problems with your penis, such as curvature or birth defects Bleeding problems Penile infection Red or itchy penis Conditions that cause thickened or slower blood flow such as leukemia (cancer of the blood), sickle cell disease or trait, or thrombocythemia (high number of platelets) If you take a blood thinner or you bruise or bleed easily Peyronie's disease If you can't take this medicine, your doctor can recommend other treatments.
system: How does alprostadil treat erectile dysfunction (ED)?
output: It's only available by prescription. var s_context; s_context= s_context || {}; s_context['wb.modimp'] = 'vidfloat'; if(webmd.useragent && webmd.useragent.ua.type === 'desktop'){ webmd.ads2.disable Initial Load(); webmd.ads2.disable Ads Init = true; $(function() { webmd.p.pim.increment(); $('.responsive-video-container').insert After('.module-social-share-container'); require(['video2/1/responsive-player/video-loader'], function(video Loader) { video Loader.init({ autoplay: webmd.useragent.ua.type === 'desktop' && ! !s_sensitive, chron ID: $('article embeded_module[type=video][align=top]:eq(0)').attr('chronic_id'), continuous Play: true, cp Options: { flyout: true }, display Ads: true, mode: 'in-article', sticky: true }) }); }); } else { $(function(){ $('.responsive-video-container').remove(); }); } This drug makes the blood vessels expand. That boosts blood flow throughout the body, including the penis, so it helps men with ED have an erection. You can get alprostadil injected directly into the penis. Or you can use it as suppository, placing it into the opening at the tip of the penis.
system: Who shouldn't take alprostadil for erectile dysfunction (ED)?
output: This drug is not right for everyone. Before you take it, tell your doctor: If you have ever had an allergic reaction to alprostadil.
system: How do I use the alprostadil suppository?
output: The small amount of urine left in the urethra will help dissolve the suppository. The suppository is about half the size of a grain of rice. You'll insert it into the urethra (the opening at the end of the penis) using a plastic applicator. You can use a small amount of lubricant like KY Jelly or Astroglide to help you insert the applicator. Push the button on the applicator to deliver the suppository into the urethra. To help dissolve the suppository once inside, roll your penis between your hands for 10 seconds. If you feel any stinging, continue this motion to help that feeling stop. Sit, stand, or walk for 10 minutes to boost blood flow to your penis to help with an erection. If you have questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
system: How do I know which form of alprostadil is right for me?
output: Choosing between the injection and suppository is a personal choice. Talk to your doctor about the pros and cons. For example, the injection may be more painful, but it's more effective than the suppository.
system: How effective is alprostadil?
output: The suppository form is called â MUSEâ (which stands for Medicated Urethral System for Erection). It produces an erection in about 30%-40% of men with ED.
system: How quickly will alprostadil work?
output: Wait 10-30 minutes before you have sex. Your erection should last for about an hour and may continue after you ejaculate. Don't use it more than three times a week. Wait at least 24 hours between each use. Sit, stand, or walk for 10 minutes to boost blood flow to your penis to help with an erection.
system: What are the side effects of using alprostadil?
output: If you are allergic to any other substances such as drugs, foods, preservatives, or dyes If you take any prescription or over-the-counter drugs including herbal and dietary supplements If you have a penile implant If you have a history of priapism (a painful and prolonged erection not linked to sexual stimulation) Also, tell your doctor if you have any medical problems, especially: Problems with your penis, such as curvature or birth defects Bleeding problems Penile infection Red or itchy penis Conditions that cause thickened or slower blood flow such as leukemia (cancer of the blood), sickle cell disease or trait, or thrombocythemia (high number of platelets) If you take a blood thinner or you bruise or bleed easily Peyronie's disease If you can't take this medicine, your doctor can recommend other treatments. Call your doctor immediately if you have any of these rarer problems: Curving of the penis with pain during an erection Erection lasts for 4 to 6 hours with severe and continuing pain in the penis Swelling or pain in the testes Bleeding or spotting from the urethra Stinging in the urethra
system: What precautions should you take when using alprostadil?
output: Or you can use it as suppository, placing it into the opening at the tip of the penis. Don't store it -- you cannot use it later on. If you have any questions about how to use this medication, ask your doctor or pharmacist. The small amount of urine left in the urethra will help dissolve the suppository. The suppository is about half the size of a grain of rice. If you keep it in your fridge, don't let it freeze.

system: What questions might the doctor ask to diagnose muscle sclerosis-related spasticity?
output: Physical therapy, medications, surgery, or a mix of these treatments can ease spasticity when you have MS. To decide the best way to help you, your doctors will think about your overall health, how severe your symptoms are, and: Does the condition keep you from doing everyday tasks? Are you in pain? Which treatments have you tried, and how well did they work? How much will it cost? What are the side effects? Will the benefits outweigh the risks?
system: When are medications needed for multiple sclerosis spasticity?
output: If physical and occupational therapy don't help, your doctor may want you to try medications.
system: When does surgery help for multiple sclerosis spasticity?
output: When other treatments don't work, there are two types of surgery that can treat spasticity. In one type, a surgeon cuts away part of the spinal nerve. The operation is called rhizotomy. The goal is to relieve pain or ease muscle tension. Tendon release, also called a tenotomy, is the second type. A surgeon cuts severely tight tendons away from the muscles. It may make spasticity happen less often and make it less severe, depending on how old you are. Over time, you may need to have the surgery again. These surgeries can help, but they're usually only for extreme cases of spasticity and are rarely performed in patients with MS..
system: How can a physical therapist help to treat multiple sclerosis spasticity?
output: Most of the time, a physical therapist will start treating MS spasticity with a basic physical therapy stretching program. The goal is to lengthen your muscles to ease the condition.
system: What is spasticity in multiple sclerosis?
output: It happens mostly in the muscles of the legs and arms, and it may keep you from moving your limbs freely. You might feel spasticity either as stiffness that doesn't go away or as movements you can't control that come and go, especially at night. It can feel like a muscle tightening, or it can be very painful. Spasticity also can make you ache or feel tight in and around your joints and low back. How you feel can vary depending on your position, posture, and how relaxed you are.
system: What causes spasticity in multiple sclerosis?
output: Spasticity happens because of an imbalance in the electrical signals coming from the brain and spinal cord, often when multiple sclerosis has damaged the nerves there. This unevenness makes your muscles contract on their own and makes them tense. The condition can get worse when it's too hot or cold, when you have an infection, or if you're wearing tight clothing.
