system: How is depersonalization disorder treated?
output: The primary symptom of depersonalization disorder is a distorted perception of the body. Most people with depersonalization disorder who seek treatment are concerned about symptoms such as depression or anxiety, rather than the disorder itself. In many cases, the symptoms will go away over time. Treatment usually is needed only when the disorder is lasting or recurrent, or if the symptoms are particularly distressing to the person. The best treatment approach depends on the individual and the severity of his or her symptoms. Psychotherapy, or talk therapy, is usually the treatment of choice for depersonalization disorder.

output: Cells called retinoblasts grow until they form her retina. The cells don't stop growing and a tumor forms on her retina. The tumor may grow until it fills the inside of her eyeball. A little less than half of all cases are inherited. That means the gene that makes the cells grow is passed from parent to child. Inherited forms of retinoblastoma are more likely to come back years after treatment.
system: What is a retinoblastoma?
output: A retinoblastoma is a cancerous tumor on a part of your child's eye called the retina. It sounds scary, but it's highly curable if you catch it early. Most of the time retinoblastomas only affect one eye.

All surgeries carry a chance of complications, including those involved with getting anesthesia. People who smoke, are elderly or overweight, have diabetes, or have several medical problems at once have a higher chance of complications. For spinal stenosis, specific risks include: Possible infection, bleeding, or blood clots A tear in the membrane that covers the spinal cord Nerve damage Some people need to stay in the hospital for a couple of days afterward.
system: What is recovery like after surgery for spinal stenosis?
output: Spinal stenosis surgery helps to reopen your spinal canal, the channel in your backbone that houses your spinal cord and other nerves. Some people may go home the same day or the day after. Once you're home, it can take 3 months or more to fully recover, especially if spinal fusion was part of your procedure. Your doctor probably will tell you to start walking and doing other exercises to strengthen your back. Most people have good results from surgery and are able to return to a normal lifestyle after they heal. People tend to have less leg pain and can walk better afterward.
system: What types of surgery are used to treat spinal stenosis?
output: Spinal stenosis surgery helps to reopen your spinal canal, the channel in your backbone that houses your spinal cord and other nerves. Three common types of spinal stenosis surgery include: Laminectomy. This is the most common one. Your doctor takes out the bone, spurs, and ligaments that are putting pressure on your nerves. She makes either a single, large cut or several small ones. Spinal fusion. Doctors sometimes do this along with a laminectomy.

system: How do you get an ischemic stroke?
output: Most strokes are this type. You get them when a fatty substance called plaque collects in your arteries and narrows them. This is called atherosclerosis, and it slows the flow of blood. As it pools, blood can clump and form clots -- and your artery gets blocked. Besides atherosclerosis, some other things that can raise your chances of getting an ischemic stroke are: Irregular heartbeat Heart attack Problem with your heart's valves Injury to blood vessels in your neck Blood clotting problem There are two main types of ischemic stroke: Thrombotic strokes.
system: Who is more likely to have a hemorrhagic stroke?

system: What types of insulin can I give to my child before meals if they have type 1 diabetes?
output: Before Meals Rapid-acting starts working about 15 minutes after you take it, peaks in about an hour, and lasts for 2 to 4 hours. Short-acting (sometimes called regular) starts working in 30 minutes, peaks 2 to 3 hours later, and lasts between 3 to 6 hours. You figure out the dose based on your child's current blood sugar levels and how many carbohydrates she is going to eat.
system: How do insulin pumps treat type 1 diabetes?
output: Insulin pumps are the methods of choice for many people with type 1. An insulin pump is a wearable device that stays attached to your body via a catheter. It gives you a steady dose throughout the day and can also give you an extra surge (called a bolus) before meals. You'll still have to check blood sugar (just as you would when using a syringe or a pen) before meals so that you can tell the device how much insulin you need at that time. Some new pumps also have monitors to alert you of highs and lows, but you set the dosage. Others can display information from a continuous glucose monitor, which tracks the levels every few minutes, 24 hours a day.
system: What types of insulin has a fixed dose to treat type 1 diabetes?
output: Fixed Dose Intermediate-acting starts working in 2 to 4 hours, peaks 4 to 12 hours later, and lasts for 12 to 18 hours. Long-acting starts working several hours after an injection and lowers glucose evenly over a 24-hour period. Your child may take this once a day, such as before bedtime.
system: What happens if my child's blood sugar drops due to type 1 diabetes?
output: Your child may need her blood sugar checked as many as 10 times a day, including before meals, before bedtime, before exercise, and any time symptoms indicate that blood sugar could be shifting too high or too low. If her blood sugar falls too low, she'll need to eat a carb-rich food (like juice or candy) or use a product such as a glucose tablet or gel.
system: How should I give insulin to my child with type 1 diabetes?
output: That means you or your child will need to check her levels often to figure out how much insulin is needed. There are different kinds and different ways of giving it to your child. Insulin pens look similar to writing instruments. You dial up the correct dose and attach a needle that you use to inject insulin into the body.
system: What is estrogen vaginal cream for urinary tract infections?
output: If you get a lot of UTIs, your doctor may consider: A daily low dose of antibiotics, taken for 6 months or longer Having you test yourself for a UTI at home when you have symptoms Taking a single dose of antibiotics after having sex If you've gone through menopause, you could ask about estrogen vaginal cream. After menopause, women have less estrogen in their bodies, which can cause vaginal dryness and make the urinary tract more vulnerable to infection. The treatment can help balance the area's p H factor and allow âgoodâ bacteria to flourish again.
system: Can cranberry juice help prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs)?
output: Over the years, a lot of studies have focused on a substance found in cranberries that's thought to prevent bacteria from sticking to the lining of the urinary tract. But none of these studies have shown how much of this substance it would take to help prevent UTIs. If you still want to give it a try, drinking cranberry juice or taking cranberry pills is probably fine to do. But there are some exceptions, like if you take a blood-thinning medication, a medication that affects the liver, or aspirin.
system: What will your doctor consider if you get a lot of urinary tract infections (UTIs)?
output: If you get a lot of UTIs, your doctor may consider: A daily low dose of antibiotics, taken for 6 months or longer Having you test yourself for a UTI at home when you have symptoms Taking a single dose of antibiotics after having sex If you've gone through menopause, you could ask about estrogen vaginal cream.
system: What can help prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs)?
output: If you've ever had a urinary tract infection, you know how painful and frustrating they can be, especially if they keep coming back. The simplest way to prevent a UTI is to flush bacteria out of the bladder and urinary tract before it can set in. Skip douches, deodorant sprays, scented powders, and other potentially irritating feminine products. Some doctors also advise women who get a lot of UTIs to wear cotton underwear, take showers instead of baths, and avoid tight clothes that can trap bacteria near the urethra.
system: What healthy habits can prevent the flu?
output: Get plenty of sleep. Eat a well-balanced diet. Take time to relax each day to manage your stress. And exercise at least half an hour 5 days a week.

system: How long should I stay away from school or work if I have the flu?
output: If you feel sick, don't go to work. Keep ailing kids home from school, too. An adult can infect other people one day before symptoms show up and up to 5 days after they start. You could spread flu to others before you know you're sick. If you go back to work or school within 5 days after your symptoms started, chances you're still contagious.
system: How do viruses spread from person to person?
output: Mainly from person to person in droplets that fly out when you cough or sneeze. These tiny drops from a sick person move through the air and land on the mouths or noses of others nearby. Germs are also passed along when you touch mucus droplets from someone else on a surface like a desk and then touch your own eyes, mouth, or nose before you get a chance to wash your hands. Viruses like the flu can live up to 24 hours or longer on plastic and metal surfaces like cafeteria tables, doorknobs, and cups.
system: How is fibromyalgia diagnosed from tender points?
output: These spots are much more sensitive than other nearby areas. Your doctor can test the painful tender points during a physical exam. But you also need to tell her about the exact pain you feel in those areas. Tell her about your other symptoms of fibromyalgia, too, such as deep muscle pain, fatigue, and sleep problems. To get an official diagnosis of fibromyalgia, you must feel widespread pain for at least 3 months.
system: How should I prepare for oral surgery?
output: Find out the risks and benefits of what you're having done. If you're getting sedation, including nitrous oxide, you'll need someone to drive you home. If you're going to be sedated,don't eat or drink anything, including water, after midnight of the evening before your surgery. It'll help nurses take your vital signs, give you your IV, or put blood pressure cuffs on you so they can monitor you during the surgery. Have a container with you to store dentures, partial plates, or removable bridgework while the procedure is being performed. On the big day, arrive at least 20 minutes early.
system: How are DHEA supplements used for anti-aging?
output: Those claims range from benefits such as: Building up the adrenal gland Strengthening the immune system Slowing natural changes in the body that come with age Providing more energy Improving mood and memory Building up bone and muscle strength Since DHEA levels decline with age, some researchers speculate that supplementing your body's falling levels of the hormone might help fight aging. And some small studies have reported positive anti-aging effects from the use of DHEA supplements. But a similar number of studies have reported no effect. According to the Natural Medicines Comprehensive Data Base, DHEA supplements do not seem to affect the aging process.
system: What are DHEA supplements used for?
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(); }); } DHEA supplements are used by some people who believe they can improve sex drive, build muscle, fight the effects of aging, and improve some health conditions. But there isn't much evidence for many of these claims. And the supplements have some risks.
system: How can DHEA supplements help with weight loss?
output: The idea is that leaner body tissue and higher metabolism will burn calories more efficiently, making it easier to not only lose weight but also keep it off. Unfortunately, most of the studies that have been done have shown little effect from DHEA in losing weight or increasing metabolism. It's a good idea to talk with your doctor or a nutritionist before investing in a DHEA supplement for weight loss.
