Thyroid Nodules Therapy

26 Feb

A thyroid nodule is a lump which commonly arises within an otherwise normal thyroid gland. Only a small percentage of lumps in the neck are malignant, and most thyroid nodules are benign. If a thyroid nodule isn’t cancerous, there are several treatment options, including: watchful waiting, thyroid hormone suppression therapy, and surgery. If a thyroid nodule is producing extra thyroid hormones the treatment will include: radioactive iodine, anti-thyroid medication and surgery.
Many noncancerous thyroid nodules stay the same size or shrink without treatment. They should be only checked every 6 to 12 months for changes in size. Anti-thyroid medication will treat benign nodules that are causing the thyroid gland to make too many hormones (hyperthyroidism). Radioactive iodine may be used to destroy thyroid tissue if the nodule is noncancerous but is making too much thyroid hormone, or if there are several nodules (multinodular goiter) and surgery is not a good idea because of other health problems. If the nodule has become cancerous or appears to be cancerous, the doctor will probably recommend surgery (thyroidectomy) to remove some or all of the thyroid gland.

More about Scarlet fever rash

19 Feb

Scarlet fever (sometimes referred to as scarlatina) is an infectious disease characterized by fever, sore throat (pharyngitis), and a characteristic rash. If a child has this scarlet fever rash and other symptoms of strep throat, it can be treated with antibiotics. Call the doctor whenever your child suddenly develops a rash, especially if it is accompanied by a fever, sore throat, or swollen glands. This is especially important if your child has any of the symptoms of strep throat, or if someone in your family or in your child’s school has recently had a strep infection. With proper antibiotic treatment, the symptoms of scarlet fever should get better quickly. However, the rash can last for up to 2 – 3 weeks before it fully goes away.

More about celiac disease symptoms

19 Feb

The symptoms of lactose malabsorption (diarrhea, excessive flatulence [passing gas], abdominal pain and abdominal bloating or distension) occur because unabsorbed lactose passes through the small intestine and into the colon. In the colon, the normal colony of bacteria contain lactase and are able to split the lactose, and utilize the resulting glucose and galactose for their own purposes. If you feel like having celiac disease symptoms you should consult your doctor. Unfortunately, when they split the lactose into glucose and galactose, the bacteria also release gas (hydrogen and /or methane). A proportion of the gas is expelled and is responsible for the increased flatus (passing gas) that may occur in celiac disease. Increased gas mixed in the stool is responsible for the stools to float in the toilet bowl.

More about Huntington disease

19 Feb

Kelvin J. A. Davies, professor of gerontology in the USC Davis School of Gerontology, said “Our findings allow for the possibility that controlled over-expression of RCAN1-1L might in the future be a viable avenue for therapeutic intervention in Huntington disease patients.” Researchers from the University of Southern California have taken an important first step toward protecting against Huntington disease using gene therapy. It is important to realize that the disease affects everyone differently. The number of CAG repeats may determine the severity of symptoms. Persons with few repeats may have mild abnormal movements later in life and slow disease progression, while those with a large number of repeats may be severely affected at a young age.

If esophagus’ sphincter muscle doesn’t close well, food, liquid, and stomach acid can leak back into the esophagus. Chronic heartburn and acid regurgitation are the most common symptoms of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD). A person who experiences acid reflux on an everyday basis is more likely to have an anatomical or medical condition. The disease can usually be diagnosed based on the presentation of symptoms alone, but the diagnosis should be made by a physician. GERD is a recurrent and chronic disease for which long-term medical therapy is usually effective. Treatment of GERD include: lifestyle modifications, medications, surgery, or a combination of methods, depending on seriousness of illness. Lifestyle changes involves avoidance of factors that may bring on symptoms or make them worse (diet, daily routine, etc.). Medication refers to over-the-county preparations to relive symptoms, and antacid medicines to prevent recurrence of symptoms or allow an injured esophagus to heal. In very serious cases, surgery is preferred to prevent complications.
