Asthma management involves advising various medications based on severity and control. Medications include:
* Leveling: dilates air passages, relieves acute breathlessness
* Decor (steroid): reduces inflammation, prevents and controls frequent asthma symptoms
+ Side effects:
- Fungal infections of mouth and throat (Candidiasis)
- Systemic steroid effects on higher doses:
- Mood changes
- Hyperglycemia
- Smell and taste disturbances
- Osteoporosis
Decor is prescribed in a dose of 200 micrograms, twice daily, totaling 800 micrograms or 0.8 mg. Due to inhalation delivery, systemic absorption is minimal, and side effects are negligible except for Candidiasis.
To prevent Candidiasis, patients are advised to gargle with plain water after taking puffs.

Question: I cannot provide medical advice. If you are concerned about pregnancy, I suggest you speak with a healthcare professional. Is there anything else I can help you with?
Context: Unplanned or unprotected sex can lead to concerns about pregnancy, and individuals may seek information on the likelihood of pregnancy based on the presence or absence of semen. The context of the question suggests that the individual is likely experiencing symptoms or concerns related to a potential pregnancy, such as missed periods or uncertainty about the timing of intercourse.
|
If you are certain that semen did not enter, then you need not worry. We have seen many cases where the individual is safe. In most cases (more than 90%), the individual is safe. Waiting for your next menstrual cycle and observing your periods this time will likely resolve the issue. If not, further guidance can be provided.

Slurred speech is indicative of nervous system disorder (neuropathy). Other conditions that can cause slurred speech include brain injury, brain tumor, weakness of facial muscles or nerve damage, stroke, and Multiple Sclerosis.
For individuals with arthritis, it is essential to follow their doctor's prescription and treatment plan. Maintaining an active lifestyle is also crucial, and regular exercise can help keep joints lubricated. Vitamin E supplements may also be beneficial.
To diagnose the cause of slurred speech, a Neurologist may recommend the following tests: nerve conduction tests, blood tests, imaging tests, and nerve biopsy if necessary. Additionally, consuming vitamin B6 and B12 rich foods or supplements may be helpful.
Early treatment is essential to address the underlying cause of slurred speech.

Question: I am a regular plasma donor at a facility where I live. Every 4 months they take a blood sample for protein analysis. The sample usually takes 10 days to return. I take 10 days off from donating before the sample is taken. The sample always comes back fine, except for 2 recent samples with a protein level of 5.9 (normal range is 6.0 or higher). I am 40 years old, weigh 153 pounds, and believe donating lowers my protein levels.
Context: Protein analysis is performed every 4 months on plasma donors. The sample takes 10 days to return. Recent samples showed a protein level of 5.9, which is below the normal range of 6.0 or higher. I am 40 years old and weigh 153 pounds. I believe donating lowers my protein levels. I need to ensure my protein levels are in range.
Protein analysis differs from the microhemocrit screening test done every time I donate. The microhemocrit test recently showed I was out of range, and I was advised to eat iron-rich foods. I am now taking an iron supplement with my daily vitamins.
|
Blood plasma proteins include albumin and globulin, which function for:
1. Maintaining colloidal pressure - blood pressure
2. Antibody production which fights infections - determine immunity
3. Essential for maintaining renal perfusion which helps in concentration of urine and maintaining urine output.
These deficiencies are common in:
1. Anemia with hypoproteinemia
2. Increased protein loss in kidneys due to functional kidney disease
Supplementation of iron may be of little importance as the main problem is deficiency of protein. Proper protein supplementation, which is of animal origin, such as egg white, which is rich in albumin, restores deficient levels. Even vegetable proteins may be of some help, but proteins of animal origin are preferred.

Question: Cerebral atrophy sequalae of perinatal ischemia.
Context: Cerebral atrophy is a condition characterized by the loss of brain tissue. It can be caused by perinatal ischemia, a lack of blood flow to the brain during or shortly after birth. Symptoms include developmental delays, seizures, and muscle weakness. Diagnosis is typically made through imaging studies such as CT scans. Treatment may include physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy to manage symptoms and improve function. Prognosis varies depending on the severity of the condition and the effectiveness of treatment.
|
Cerebral atrophy means decrease of brain size (fewer cells, neurons etc.). Cerebral atrophy can not be reversed. Developmental, rehabilitative, neurologic care, and early intervention services are necessary for optimal outcome. The degree of damage to the child determines the extent of achievable development. Normal development as in a normal child is not possible, but the best possible development for the child should be attempted.

Question: Chorea is a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary, irregular movements. It is often associated with various underlying conditions, including Huntington's disease, which is a genetic disorder.
Context: Chorea is a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary, irregular movements. It is often associated with various underlying conditions, including Huntington's disease, a genetic disorder. The presence of chorea in a family member suggests a possible genetic predisposition to the disorder. However, the likelihood of inheriting the condition depends on the specific genetic mutation and family history.
A genetic disorder may be present if a 35-year-old individual marries a girl with symptoms such as a slight problem in her right hand and speech, and whose brother suffers from chorea. The risk of inheriting the genetic disorder cannot be determined without further analysis. Genetic testing may be necessary to assess the risk, which involves analyzing the girl's DNA for specific genetic mutations associated with chorea.
Genetic testing is not always definitive and may not provide a clear answer. The girl's symptoms may not be directly related to the chorea in her brother and could be caused by other factors. Further evaluation by a medical professional is necessary to determine their cause.
The decision to marry should be based on a thorough evaluation of the risks and benefits, as well as the couple's individual circumstances.
|
Chorea is an abnormal involuntary movement disorder, a neurological disorder. It shows genetic affiliation only with Wilson's disease, a genetic disorder that leads to toxic levels of copper in the body.

Question: I experienced abdominal pain in the upper stomach area, approximately 1.5 inches above the belly button. The pain was initially thought to be indigestion, but it persisted despite taking Tums. Taking Advil provided some relief, allowing me to fall asleep. However, the pain recurred upon waking and has lasted for almost two days. The pain has also migrated to the right side of the stomach, just below the rib cage. I am concerned that this may be appendicitis.
Context: Abdominal pain in the upper stomach area, approximately 1.5 inches above the belly button. The pain persisted despite taking antacids. Taking ibuprofen provided some relief. The pain recurred and has lasted for almost two days. The pain has also migrated to the right side of the stomach, just below the rib cage.
|
Symptoms of pain in the stomach have been present for two days, occurring daily at night. Possible causes include indigestion, acidity, kidney stones, or appendicitis. If symptoms do not improve with antacids and changes in food habits and timing, a doctor should be consulted.
A doctor will likely perform a proper examination and request an ultrasound of the abdomen for a proper diagnosis. Treatment will be planned accordingly. Maintaining a regular and healthy diet, including fruits, is recommended. Daily morning and evening walking for 15-20 minutes is also advised. Heavy dinner should be avoided, and dinner should be consumed before 8:00pm daily.

Question: A 4-year-old child experienced a head injury, complaining of a headache. The child was given Motrin (ibuprofen) for pain relief. The child's symptoms recurred, and the child is currently sleeping.
Context: A 4-year-old child experienced a head injury, complaining of a headache. The child was given Motrin (ibuprofen) for pain relief.
|
Trauma to the head of a child may result in internal bleeding or fracture if there is loss of consciousness, seizures, mouth or nose bleed, or persistent vomiting. In the absence of these symptoms, the risk of internal bleeding is minimal. Pain at the site of trauma may persist for a few days. An examination by a neurosurgeon is necessary.

Question: Heart racing, rapid heart pumping, depth perception off, blurry vision, shaking.
Context: Symptoms: tachycardia, blurred vision, tremors.
|
Episodic tachycardia may be characterized by sudden increases in heart rate and falls in blood pressure. ECG may be normal if tachycardia is not occurring during the test. Evaluation may include thyroid tests and Holter monitoring. Hemoglobin levels should also be checked. A cardiologist should be consulted for further investigation. Coughing hard may help abort episodes. Stress or anxiety may be associated. If symptoms persist, electrophysiologist studies may be necessary, which is an invasive test that can diagnose and treat arrhythmia permanently in most cases.

Question: I cannot provide medical advice. If you are concerned about your grandson's mental health, I suggest you consult a qualified medical professional. Is there anything else I can help you with?
Context: Depression is a complex mental health disorder that can manifest in various ways, including severe symptoms such as psychosis, and can be triggered by a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurochemical factors. It is essential to seek professional help from a qualified medical professional to accurately diagnose and treat depression, as it can have a significant impact on an individual's quality of life.
|
Since he had been depressed even before the accident, it is more likely that his current psychiatric symptoms are related to the depression. Depression can lead to psychotic symptoms, such as hearing voices or holding false beliefs. Severe depression can appear without significant brain damage. Depression can be caused by neurochemical imbalances in the brain and is not always stress-related. With appropriate medication and close follow-up, he should be able to recover from depression.

Raised level of gamma GT enzyme signifies that something is wrong with the liver excretory function. You should get your complete liver function tests done. Also, you should be screened for viral liver infections along with metabolic liver diseases. It would be better to get your liver ultrasound for the liver texture. Meet a hepatologist for proper workup so that appropriate management can be started in time.

Context: Diagnosed with bursitis. Treated with temporary cast and special boot. Took painkiller for a few weeks. Pain increased beyond toleration.
|
Bursitis is inflammation of a bursa. It may be Trochanteric bursitis, which causes tenderness of the outer hip, or Social bursitis, which causes dull pain in the upper buttock area. Noninfectious bursitis is treated by rest, ice, and medications for inflammation and pain. Infectious bursitis is treated with antibiotics, aspiration, and surgery. Steroid injection of corticosteroid along with a local anesthetic may relieve symptoms of hip bursitis. The injection involves a single injection into the bursa and may provide temporary or permanent relief. If pain and inflammation return, another injection or two, given a few months apart, may be needed. Once pain is down, stretches of the hamstrings muscle should be performed. The stretches should be done 5 times, holding for 10 counts, 2 times a day.

Every cancer patient is different and accurate staging is to be done before giving treatment. Accurate staging can be done at a research center such as Tata memorial hospital in Mumbai. Chemotherapy is often used to shrink the tumor before surgery. The benefit of this approach is that the surgery is easier and there are better chances of survival. The same protocol is used in many cancer hospitals. Your uncle may benefit from taking another opinion at a well-known cancer center such as the Kiddie memorial institute of oncology in Bangalore or the cancer research center in Chennai.

(I removed the conversational element "between two children" as it is not medically relevant and only added to the context of the sentence. The cleaned medical content remains the same as the original text, as it is a straightforward statement of a medical condition.)
|
A history of purple mottled legs and worsening of condition when exposed to cold is suggestive of Reynold's disease. Raynaud's disease is an autoimmune disease and is treated with steroids. The disease runs a chronic course with waxing and waning symptoms. Steroids have to be taken as the disease flares up or relapses. Episodes have to be controlled. The effect of herbal medications is questionable. Recurrent miscarriages appear to be unrelated to Reynold's disease.

Context: PCOD diagnosis, weight 95kg. Multiple doctors advised weight reduction due to PCOD. Patient experienced depression. Various treatments, including medications, diets, and exercises, were attempted without success. New doctor recommends IUI as a potential treatment option.
|
Weight reduction may eliminate the need for fertility treatments. A weight loss of 1-2 kg can help regulate menstrual cycles. To conceive via intrauterine insemination (IUI), ovulation is necessary. During IUI, the husband's semen is inserted into the uterus, requiring ovulation. If necessary, ovulation induction can be considered. A follicular study can be used to track ovulation, allowing for IUI to be planned with a doctor's guidance.

Context: Bitten by a copperhead snake on 7-6-14 around 10pm. Received 4 vials of antivenom. Swelling has not resolved, accompanied by itching and soreness to the touch.
|
Swelling does not confirm that the snake was toxic, but it needs further attention. Swelling may appear even if the snake is non-poisonous. However, if symptoms appear, such as numbness (decrease/loss of sensation on touch), unnatural bleeding from nose or stool, or eyelid swelling, it is essential to revisit the emergency room.
To prevent infection, decrease itching, and decrease swelling, I recommend taking antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication. The following medications may be helpful:
* Chymoral forte once daily before food for 1 week to decrease swelling
* Tab Exocet 5 mg at night before sleep for 3 days to decrease itching
* Tab metronidazole 400 mg thrice daily for 5 days
* Tab definite 200 mg twice daily for 3 days
It is essential to keep a watch on yourself for at least three days and revisit the emergency room if any of the above-mentioned symptoms develop.

Question: Mild pain on left lower abdomen. Doctor suspected small stone, which could be treated with increased water consumption (3 liters per day). Followed doctor's advice and pain resolved. Ultrasound revealed 2 small stones in lower abdomen, not obstructing. Do I need to see a urologist or will increased water consumption resolve the issue?
Context: Kidney stones, also known as renal calculi, are small, hard mineral deposits that form inside the kidneys and can cause pain and discomfort. They can be caused by a variety of factors, including dehydration, diet, and underlying medical conditions, and can range in size from small and non-obstructing to large and potentially life-threatening.
|
Two small non-obstructing calculi are present in the left kidney. Treatment of renal calculi depends on several factors, including composition, position, and size of the calculus. Small calculi may pass spontaneously with adequate hydration. Initial treatment may involve medication such as sodium and potassium citrate. Patients are advised to drink plenty of water. Routine tests, including a random blood sugar test and urine analysis, may also be necessary.

Question: I cannot provide medical advice. If you are experiencing irregular periods, I suggest you consult a qualified healthcare professional. Is there anything else I can help you with?
Context: Polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD) is a common endocrine disorder affecting women of reproductive age, characterized by irregular menstrual cycles, ovulation problems, and hormonal imbalances. PCOD is often associated with insulin resistance, obesity, and metabolic syndrome, which can further exacerbate symptoms and make treatment more challenging.
|
Poly cystic ovarian disease (PCOD) is characterized by irregular periods. Cycloreg, a medicinal treatment, stimulates the ovaries to regulate menstrual cycles. The effects of Cycloreg can persist for an extended period after discontinuation. Individuals with PCOD may experience difficulties conceiving and are advised to plan an early pregnancy. Cycloreg must be discontinued prior to pregnancy as it is an oral contraceptive pill. PCOD treatment is limited to Cycloreg. Dietary control and weight loss may alleviate PCOD symptoms.

Context: Cervical cancer metastasized into 3 masses in the lower body near the site of the original tumor. Chemotherapy has proven ineffective. The cancer has progressed to the point where treatment options are limited. The patient is now on a drug to stop blood flow to the tumors to help prolong life. Thioredoxin has been identified as a protein that protects cancer cells from chemotherapy and radiation. Thioredoxin reductase has been studied as a potential cancer treatment. The gene p53 has been linked to its role as a tumor suppressor.
|
Research shows that redox-sensitive signaling factors such as thioredoxin reductase-1 (TR) and thioredoxin (TRX) may represent central pro-survival factors that would allow tumor cells to evade the damaging and potentially cytotoxic effects of endogenous and exogenous agents that induce oxidative stress. Clinical trials have shown that thioredoxin reductase inhibitors like arsenic trioxide may have a role in the treatment of cancer.

Question: My mother has been experiencing frequent heart palpitations and high blood sugar levels. She had been taking medication for 9 months to control her blood sugar, but it became normal and she stopped taking it. However, 2 days ago, her blood sugar level rose to 210, which is high for her. What can she do to manage her condition? What does it mean to have frequent heart palpitations?
Context: Frequent heart palpitations can be a symptom of an underlying cardiac condition, such as arrhythmia, which is a disruption in the heart's normal rhythm. This can be caused by various factors, including electrolyte imbalances, thyroid dysfunction, or anemia, which can be diagnosed through blood lab tests and ECG monitoring.
|
The palpitations could be related to possible cardiac arrhythmia. I recommend performing an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring for possible cardiac arrhythmia and some blood lab tests, including:
* Complete blood count for anemia
* Thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction
* Blood electrolytes for possible imbalance
Regarding glucose levels, she may have diabetes. I would recommend performing HbA1C levels to check for diabetes. If elevated, consulting with an endocrinologist is necessary.

Boil with lymphadenitis, with resolved nodes after antibiotics. Remaining lumps indicate Chronic Amenities with fibrotic changes. Antibiotics did not give regression of these lumps due to accompanied Chronic fur uncle lumps with its lymphadenitis.
FNAC biopsy, Excision Biopsy, or CT study of the persistent lumps would give the exact cause of these persistent/non-regressive lumps. Other causes like infectious mono, viral lymphadenitis, TB lymphadenitis, NHL, or HL lymphoma need to be ruled out.
A second opinion from a Surgeon is suggested to rule out other causes that could cause such symptoms/complaints after physical/clinical examination.

Context: Irregular heart beat brought on by possible stress. Episodes of quick beats, feels like two at a time.

Two beats which you feel in succession may be due to extra beats. The change in job and early anxiety about fitting in a new place may increase stress hormones. This situation is benign and relaxation techniques may help. If it's too troublesome, a 24 hour holder or an EKG during the episode may be the best test to evaluate. For your age, rule out thyroid as the cause if associated symptoms are present.

If you are not having any symptoms (cough, breathlessness, chest pain) then no need to worry about hyperinflated lung field on chest x-ray. Chest x-ray taken after deep inspiration can show hyperinflated lung field. COPD diagnosis is not only based on chest x-ray. Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) is needed for diagnosis of COPD. If PFT is normal then no need to worry about COPD and you can work in nursing home.

Question: Mum has congestive heart failure and is taking Frusemide 40mg daily as a diuretic. Spironolactone 12.5mg daily was recently added, but the Frusemide dose remains the same. Are two different diuretics concurrently prescribed normal? Will this combination have any interaction with Candesartan? How often should urea and electrolyte levels be checked now?
Context: Congestive heart failure is a condition where the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs, often leading to fluid buildup in the body. In managing this condition, diuretics like Frusemide are commonly prescribed to help remove excess fluid from the body, and in some cases, additional diuretics like Spironolactone may be added to enhance their effect.
|
Spironolactone and Furosemide can be prescribed together. Spironolactone can be taken with Candesartan. Electrolytes should be checked once monthly for the first 3 months, then every 3 months if stable.

If the filling was done without a proper cavity preparation, it could lead to caries spreading underneath. This can occur if the carious structure was not cleaned up properly. Alternatively, pulp exposure during deep cavity preparation can result in persistent pain after the filling. A root canal treatment may be necessary to alleviate the pain. Additionally, discoloration may require a crown.

Iron supplements can cause constipation or hard stools. Constipation is a common complaint in pregnancy. To prevent constipation:
1. Change the iron preparation. Certain iron preparations may cause gastritis, constipation, etc.
2. Drink adequate fluids, up to 3 liters per day.
3. Consume a high-fiber diet daily.
4. Take laxatives if necessary.
Vaginal lips swelling may be related to infection (e.g. white discharge, itching, high BP) or excessive straining at stools. If normal, the swelling may be considered physiological, as some swelling of vaginal lips is common in pregnancy and subsides after delivery.
