system: Can turf toe be prevented?
output: One way to prevent turf toe is to wear shoes with better support to help keep the toe joint from excessive bending and force with pushing off. You may also want to consider using specially designed inserts that your doctor or physical therapist can prescribe for you. A physical therapist or a specialist in sports medicine can also work with you on correcting any problems in your gait that can lead to injury and on developing training techniques to help reduce the chance of injury.
system: How is turf toe diagnosed?
output: To diagnose turf toe, the doctor will ask you to explain as much as you can about how you injured your foot and may ask you about your occupation, your participation in sports, the type of shoes you wear, and your history of foot problems. The doctor will then examine your foot, noting the pattern and location of any swelling and comparing the injured foot to the uninjured one. The doctor will likely ask for an X-ray to rule out any other damage or fracture. In certain circumstances, the doctor may ask for other imaging tests such as a bone scan, CT scan, or MRI. The diagnosis will then be made based on the results of the physical examination and imaging tests.
system: What is turf toe?
output: Turf toe is a sprain to the ligaments around the big toe joint, which works primarily as a hinge to permit up and down motion. Just behind the big toe joint in the ball of your foot are two pea-shaped bones embedded in the tendon that moves your big toe called sesamoids. It is most commonly seen in athletes playing on artificial surfaces, which are harder than grass surfaces and to which cleats are more likely to stick.
system: What are considerations when using a birth control implant?
output: You'll need to: Wear a bandage for 48 hours Keep the area dry for 24 hours You shouldn't use birth control implants if you think you may already be pregnant or you have: Sensitivity to any part of the implant Unexplained vaginal bleeding Breast cancer (now or in the past) Liver disease or liver tumors History of blood clots (deep vein thrombosis) Use it with caution if you have: Diabetes High cholesterol Seizure disorder You've ever had depression. Also, the implants may not work as well if you're very overweight. Some medications can make birth control implants less effective. Ask your doctor about that.
system: Can any woman use birth control implants?
output: You'll need to: Wear a bandage for 48 hours Keep the area dry for 24 hours You shouldn't use birth control implants if you think you may already be pregnant or you have: Sensitivity to any part of the implant Unexplained vaginal bleeding Breast cancer (now or in the past) Liver disease or liver tumors History of blood clots (deep vein thrombosis) Use it with caution if you have: Diabetes High cholesterol Seizure disorder You've ever had depression.
system: What are the risks of using birth control implants?
output: Possible side effects include problems from putting the implant in, like: Pain Bruising or swelling Redness Infection Scarring Other possible side effects include: Irregular menstrual bleeding Depression and other mood changes Weight gain Abdominal pain or nausea Acne Breast pain, back pain, or headaches Vaginitis Dizziness Noncancerous ovarian cysts Your doctor or another health care professional will inject medicine to numb your skin on your upper arm, where you'll get the implant.
system: How long does a birth control implant work?
output: You can use a birth control implant for up to 3 years. While you're in the office they'll: Mark the spot on your arm where the implant is Clean the area to prevent infection Give you a shot with medicine to numb the site Make a small cut at the top of the implant and remove it It could take as long as 20 minutes if there's a lot of scar tissue in the area. If the doctor can't easily find the implant, they might take an X-ray to locate it.
system: What is the sleep disorders quiz?
output: If you answer yes to any of the following questions about sleep disorders, you may be dealing with insomnia, sleep apnea, or another type of sleep problem. Consult your doctor. Do you snore loudly and/or heavily while asleep? Yes or No Are you excessively sleepy or do you lack energy in the daytime? Yes or No Do you have trouble with concentration or memory loss? Yes or No Do you fall asleep while driving, in meetings, while reading a book, or while watching television? Yes or No Do you often have occasional morning headaches? Yes or No Do you sleepwalk, have nightmares, or have night terrors? Yes or No Do you suffer from depression or mood changes? Yes or No Do you have trouble going to sleep or staying asleep? Yes or No Have you experienced recent weight gain or high blood pressure? Yes or No Have you been told you hold your breath when you sleep?
system: What are symptoms of atrial fibrillation?
output: Other symptoms are: Dizziness or feeling lightheaded Fainting Shortness of breath Chest discomfort Weakness or fatigue Atrial fibrillation is a type of arrhythmia. You may have one or more of these symptoms: Palpitations Lack of energy Dizziness Chest discomfort Shortness of breath You may feel things like: Shortness of breath.
system: What are symptoms of arrhythmia?
output: You may feel palpitations or pounding in your chest. Other symptoms are: Dizziness or feeling lightheaded Fainting Shortness of breath Chest discomfort Weakness or fatigue Atrial fibrillation is a type of arrhythmia.
system: What are symptoms of coronary artery disease?
output: The most common symptom is chest pain called angina. You may feel discomfort, heaviness, pressure, aching, burning, fullness, squeezing, or a painful feeling in your chest. Sometimes you can mistake those sensations for indigestion or heartburn. Although you usually feel angina in your chest, you may also notice it in your shoulders, arms, neck, throat, jaw, or back.
system: What is the starfish sleeping position?
output: You're on your back for this one, too, but your legs are spread apart and your arms are bent up on either side of your head. Like "soldier," this position can help with acid reflux, but it also makes you more likely to snore and can aggravate sleep apnea.
system: What is the fetal sleeping position?
output: The most popular way to sleep is favored by more than 4 out of 10 people, especially among women, who are twice as likely as men to sleep curled up on their side. For the most part, it's a healthy way to doze, because it allows your spine to rest in its natural alignment. The fetal position might also help ward off conditions like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's: Recent research on animals suggests that your brain does a better job of clearing waste that can lead to these neurological diseases when you're sleeping on your side rather than on your back or stomach. This position's also good for pregnant women. You should stick to lying on your left side while expecting. It improves circulation to your growing baby and prevents your uterus from pressing against your liver.
system: What is the log sleeping position?
output: Do you sleep on your side but with both arms down, close to your body? You're in fairly good company, too: 15% of people prefer to catch their ZZZs in the log position. And that's great, because it's good for your health. Resting on your side, with your back mostly straight, can help cut down on sleep apnea. It can also nix neck and back pain since your spine stays aligned.
system: What should you know about sleeping positions?
output: Even if your bedtime changes nightly, or you wake up at wildly different times each morning, there's probably one position that's your favorite for slumber. Unfortunately, the position that you find most comfortable might end up causing health problems, ranging from aches to sleep apnea. Learn about the pros and cons of common ways to sleep, and discover easy tips on making each position a little bit better for you. You're on your back for this one, too, but your legs are spread apart and your arms are bent up on either side of your head.
system: When should you make a change in your sleeping position?
output: If you're snoring or have sleep apnea, it's best to sleep on your side. Invest in a new supportive mattress, if you're wanting to sleep on your back, or a contour pillow for between your knees, if you're switching to your side.
system: What are some additional symptoms of subdural hematoma?
output: Symptoms of subdural hematoma can include: Headache Confusion Change in behavior Dizziness Nausea and vomiting Lethargy or excessive drowsiness Weakness Apathy Seizures People may vary widely in their symptoms of subdural hematoma.
system: How is subdural hematoma diagnosed?
output: People who come to medical attention after a head injury often undergo head imaging, usually with computed tomography ( CT scan) or magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI scan). These tests create images of the interior of the skull, usually detecting any subdural hematoma present. MRI is slightly superior to CT in detecting subdural hematoma, but CT is faster and more readily available. Rarely, angiography may be used to diagnose subdural hematoma. During angiography (angiogram), a catheter is inserted through an artery in the groin and threaded into the arteries of he neck and brain. Special dye is then injected, and an X-ray screen shows blood flow through the arteries and veins.
system: What techniques are used to treat subdural hematomas?
output: More severe or dangerous subdural hematomas require surgery to reduce the pressure on the brain. Surgeons can use various techniques to treat subdural hematomas: Burr hole trephination. A hole is drilled in the skull over the area of the subdural hematoma, and the blood is suctioned out through the hole. Craniotomy. A larger section of the skull is removed, to allow better access to the subdural hematoma and reduce pressure. The removed skull is replaced shortly after the procedure. Craniectomy. A section of the skull is removed for an extended period of time, to allow the injured brain to expand and swell without permanent damage. Craniectomy is not often used to treat subdural hematoma. People with severe subdural hematomas are often seriously ill, requiring machine-supported breathing and other forms of life support.
system: What causes a subdural hematoma?
output: Subdural hematoma is usually caused by a head injury, such as from a fall, motor vehicle collision, or an assault. The sudden blow to the head tears blood vessels that run along the surface of the brain. This is referred to as an acute subdural hematoma. People with a bleeding disorder and people who take blood thinners are more likely to develop a subdural hematoma. A relatively minor head injury can cause subdural hematoma in people with a bleeding tendency. In a chronic subdural hematoma, small veins on the outer surface of the brain may tear, causing bleeding in the subdural space. Symptoms may not be apparent for several days or weeks. Elderly people are at higher risk for chronic subdural hematoma because brain shrinkage causes these tiny veins to be more stretched and more vulnerable to tearing.
system: What are the symptoms of subdural hematoma?
output: Symptoms of subdural hematoma depend mostly on the rate of bleeding: In head injuries with sudden, severe bleeding causing a subdural hematoma, a person may lose consciousness and become comatose immediately. A person may appear normal for days after a head injury, but slowly become confused and then unconscious several days later. This results from a slower rate of bleeding, causing a slowly enlarging subdural hematoma. In very slow-growing subdural hematomas, there may be no noticeable symptoms for more than two weeks after the bleeding starts. Symptoms of subdural hematoma can include: Headache Confusion Change in behavior Dizziness Nausea and vomiting Lethargy or excessive drowsiness Weakness Apathy Seizures People may vary widely in their symptoms of subdural hematoma.
system: How are subdural hematomas treated?
output: Treatment of subdural hematomas depends on their severity. Treatment can range from watchful waiting to brain surgery. In small subdural hematomas with mild symptoms, doctors may recommend no specific treatment other than observation. Repeated head imaging tests are often performed to monitor whether the subdural hematoma is improving.
system: What is used to improve blood clotting caused by subdural hematomas?
output: If a person has a bleeding problem or is taking blood thinners, measures should be taken to improve blood clotting. This may include giving medicines or blood products, and reversal of any blood thinners, when possible. Other medications to help reduce swelling or pressure in the brain or control seizures may also be used.
system: When should I get medical help if a person faints?
output: Has blue lips or face An irregular or slow heartbeat Chest pain Difficulty breathing Is difficult to awaken Acts confused Lay the person flat on his or her back.
system: When should you see a doctor about fainting?
output: See a health care provider right away if the person: Hit his or her head when fainting Faints more than once in a month Is pregnant or has a heart condition or other serious illness Experiences unusual symptoms, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, confusion, blurred vision, or difficulty talking
system: What should I do if someone faints?
output: Has blue lips or face An irregular or slow heartbeat Chest pain Difficulty breathing Is difficult to awaken Acts confused Lay the person flat on his or her back. Elevate the person's legs to restore blood flow to the brain. Loosen tight clothing. Shake the person vigorously, tap briskly, or yell. If the person doesn't respond, call 911 immediately and start CPR if necessary. If an AED is available, bring it by the person and use it if you have been trained on its use.
system: Who can get macular dystrophy?
output: There are two types of macular retinal dystrophy. A form called Best disease usually appears in childhood and causes different amounts of vision loss. The second usually affects you in mid-adulthood. It causes vision loss that slowly gets worse. People with Best disease usually have a parent who has it. Parents pass the gene on to their children. It's less clear how adult-onset macular retinal dystrophy is passed from parent to child. You may not have any other family members with the condition.
system: What you need to know about macular dystrophy?
output: Macular retinal dystrophy is a rare genetic eye disorder that causes vision loss. Macular retinal dystrophy affects the back of your eye, or retina. It leads to cell damage in an area called the macula, which controls how you see what's out in front of you. When it happens, you have trouble seeing straight ahead. This makes it tough to read, drive, or do other daily activities that require you to look straight ahead. It's caused by a pigment that builds up in the macula's cells. Over time, this substance can damage cells that play a key role in clear central vision. Your sight gets blurry or warped. But your side, or peripheral, vision isn't harmed.
system: Who gets macular dystrophy?
output: People with Best disease usually have a parent who has it. Parents pass the gene on to their children. It's less clear how adult-onset macular retinal dystrophy is passed from parent to child. You may not have any other family members with the condition.
system: What causes macular dystrophy?
output: It's caused by a pigment that builds up in the macula's cells. Over time, this substance can damage cells that play a key role in clear central vision. Changes in the BEST1 gene cause Best disease and sometimes adult-onset macular retinal dystrophy. Mutations in the PRPH2 gene cause adult-onset macular retinal dystrophy. We don't know how these gene changes cause pigment buildup in the macula. Doctors also don't know why only central vision is harmed.
system: How many cases of cancer are due to adenoid cystic carcinoma?
output: Of the 500,000 people who get cancer each year, about 1,200 of them have adenoid cystic carcinoma. It affects more women than men, and it can happen at any age between your teens and your 80s.
system: What are the types of radiation treatment for adenoid cystic carcinoma?
output: There are three main kinds: External beam radiation focuses high-energy X-rays or protons on cancer cells to destroy them. Your doctor will try to do as little damage as possible to the surrounding parts of your body. Internal radiation therapy is also known as brachytherapy. Your doctor will put small radioactive "seeds" at or near the tumor. This is often used when cancer has spread to the lungs. The radioactivity of the seeds lessens after a few weeks. Neutron therapy can target small tumors by heating up the cells with 100 times more energy than regular radiation treatment. That often kills cancer cells while letting the normal cells around them recover.
system: What is treatment for adenoid cystic carcinoma?
output: The usual treatment for adenoid cystic carcinoma is surgery followed by radiation treatments. When you have surgery, your doctor will remove not only the tumor but also some of the healthy tissue around it. He'll look at that tissue to make sure the cancer hasn't spread beyond the tumor.
system: What are side effects of radiation therapy for adenoid cystic carcinoma?
output: Radiation therapy focused on your head and neck has side effects that can include dry mouth, difficulty swallowing, or soreness around the area that's being treated. It can also damage your teeth. Check with your doctor about these side effects and ask what she can do to help you with them.
system: What are the symptoms of adenoid cystic carcinoma?
output: The first sign may be a lump inside your mouth under your tongue or inside your cheek. These lumps usually grow slowly and don't hurt. You might have some trouble swallowing, or your voice might sound hoarse. This type of cancer can spread along nerves, so you might have some pain or numbness in your face. If you notice any of these symptoms, see your doctor.
system: What complications may make surgery for adenoid cystic carcinoma difficult?
output: Sometimes, part of a nerve may have to be removed to get all the cancer out. That can mean you won't be able to move part of your face or it might droop. Your doctor may try to reconnect the damaged nerve with part of another nerve so you can move the affected area. Other times, part of your windpipe or voice box has to be removed. If your doctor can't take out the entire tumor without hurting important organs, or if he's worried the cancer has spread somewhere he hasn't seen, you may have radiation treatments.
system: Does adenoid cystic carcinoma spread to other parts of the body?
output: It tends to grow slowly, so it sometimes can spread to other parts of your body before you notice any symptoms. It can come back in places where it's been treated before or spread to your lungs, liver, or bones, where it's more serious.
system: How do I know if a tumor is adenoid cystic carcinoma?
output: She'll take a small sample of the tumor, either after making a small cut or with a needle. A pathologist, a doctor who specializes in the study of diseases, will study the sample to look for signs of cancer. These kinds of tumors can take different forms. They can be solid or round and hollow like a tube, or cribriform, which means they have holes in them like Swiss cheese. The solid tumors usually grow faster. The usual treatment for adenoid cystic carcinoma is surgery followed by radiation treatments.
system: What should be expected after treatment of adenoid cystic carcinoma?
output: Sometimes, part of a nerve may have to be removed to get all the cancer out. Tumors may come back years later, either in the same place or, more likely, somewhere else -- usually in your lungs. Most people who have adenoid cystic carcinoma live at least 5 years after their diagnosis. After your treatment, you'll need regular checkups to look for signs of new tumors. This can involve X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs, depending on your diagnosis.
system: What is adenoid cystic carcinoma?
output: These are under your tongue and on each side of your jaw below the jawbone. But it also can occur in other parts of your mouth and throat or other areas of your body, such as your sweat glands or tear glands. He'll look at that tissue to make sure the cancer hasn't spread beyond the tumor.
system: What tests are done for adenoid cystic carcinoma?
output: A pathologist, a doctor who specializes in the study of diseases, will study the sample to look for signs of cancer. You might have one of these tests: MRI (magnetic resonance imaging): Powerful magnets and radio waves are used to make detailed images. CT scan (computerized tomography): Several X-rays taken from different angles are put together to show more information. PET scan (positron emission tomography): Radiation is used to make 3-dimensional color images.
system: What causes adenoid cystic carcinoma?
output: It may be linked to some carcinogens, like pollution or asbestos. The usual treatment for adenoid cystic carcinoma is surgery followed by radiation treatments.
