You should also let the doctor know if anything in your life has changed recently. Ask your doctor if there are any pre-appointment restrictions you should follow, such as fasting. If you doctor suspects carcinoid syndrome, they'll refer you to a specialist, such as an oncologist, endocrinologist, or surgeon. This is a noninvasive in-office procedure to rule out other causes. Your doctor may look for signs of other conditions, such as undiagnosed asthma. They'll then decide if more tests are needed to identify the underlying cause. The doctor will look for high levels of certain hormones or their remaining broken-down components. This will likely include a 24-hr urine collection. While this test is not at all painful, you may be inconvenienced if the doctor decides to collect your urine over 24 hrs. You will need to urinate in either a special cup or a pan in order to collect your urine. You will then save the urine by placing it in your refrigerator until it's time to return it to the doctor. It's best to do this on a day you'll be home. Since the tumor is secreting chemicals into your bloodstream, a simple blood test can tell the doctor a lot about your symptoms. The doctor will look for substances like chromogranin A. The blood test will not hurt, but you may feel uncomfortable for a few minutes. Imaging tests can let the doctor see the tumor and determine if it's growing. You can get a CT scan or MRI, depending on what your doctor recommends. The doctor may give you a radionuclide before conducting the test so they can look for a tumor. Radionuclide is a small amount of radioactive substance, so it will show up on the CT or MRI. This allows the doctor to check for abnormal areas or masses, which could indicate a tumor. The doctor will start with your abdomen, which is where these tumors are most often located. Your doctor may also order an ultrasound to evaluate the tumor. The doctor will insert the camera down your throat or through your rectum, depending on where they're looking for the tumor. The endoscopic camera allows the doctor to see and evaluate any tumors that you may have. This test will likely make you uncomfortable, but it will not hurt as you will be under sedation. The doctor will likely take the biopsy using a long needle that is inserted into the tumor. They will guide the needle using a CT scan or ultrasound. Your doctor may perform your biopsy either in the hospital or in an outpatient procedure. You will likely feel a lot of discomfort, but the doctor will give you medication to reduce pain. For a lung biopsy, the doctor may decide to send an endoscopic camera down your throat to retrieve the biopsy. A biopsy may also be performed through the outside of the rib cage while you are under general anesthesia. If you are already having surgery near the area, the doctor may take the biopsy then.
A: Make an appointment with your doctor. Allow your doctor to perform a physical exam. Do a urine test to look for byproducts of excreted chemicals. Undergo a blood test to look for chemicals in your bloodstream. Get an imaging test such as a CT, or MRI if the doctor suspects a tumor. Allow the doctor to use an endoscopic camera to look for the tumor. Agree to a biopsy if your doctor thinks it's necessary.

Q: Getting your hair nice and moist is the first step to achieving the wet look. Shampoo clears out the debris, while conditioner smooths the surface. You can use whatever shampoo and conditioner you already have in your shower. Touch a towel to your head to start removing moisture. To use mousse and gel properly, your hair has to remain pliable.

Hair gel can also be used here. Your fingers are your best tool for working in the mousse. Use your fingertips to move the mousse all the way down to your roots. If you're having a hard time, try using a comb to spread the product. When finished, the mousse should completely coat your hair. Run a comb or your fingers through your hair to style it into the general shape that you want. Style with a comb if you want a cleaner, more sculpted look. Use your fingers if you want a softer, less stiff finish. Mousse products give you a wide variety of stylistic options, so pick the one that looks best on you. It'll make your hair look voluminous and wet no matter how you style it. For example, you can use your fingers to tousle your hair for a messy, bedhead look.
A: Shampoo and condition your hair. Pat your hair mostly dry. Squeeze a dollop of mousse onto your fingers. Massage the mousse into your hair. Style your hair with a comb or your fingers.

Q: Ad hominem attacks happen by placing doubt on someone's character or attributes to discredit their arguments. When someone does this, they are undermining someone's case without providing logical evidence as to why. It is important to listen to information and disconnect it from feelings you may have for that person. This will allow you to pull out the facts and stay logical. Emotional appeals are often used in order to get a reader or listener to respond out of sympathy and it can lead someone to act against their better judgment. Be sure to watch out for these types of manipulations and to keep a clear head. " It is very common for someone to agree with an idea or opinion merely because it is a popular one. When deciding your own thoughts, views, or opinions on a particular issue, be sure you know why you feel a certain way. Do not just agree to something because everyone else is going along. Always back your opinions up with your own personal logic and research. This is a pragmatic defect in an argument in which the end result ends up being the starting point. Basically, the proposition for something is supported by the premises, and the premises are supported by the proposition. The argument fails to have valid evidence because the foundation for proof does not have real evidence.Here is a common example: Person A, "Go to bed." Person B, "Why?" Person A, "Because I said to go to bed."
A:
Don't practice ad hominem. Avoid appealing to emotion. Don't always hop on the "bandwagon. Beware of circular reasoning.
