Avatar m tn Imaging the chest and abdomen can be done as well to rule out an abscess or lymphoma. Both would be uncommon, but possible, causes of the increased sweating. These options can be discussed with your personal physician. Followup with your personal physician is essential.

Avatar n tn Was it just the quad screening or was it the detailed blood test that also tells the gender? Because the quad screening has a habit of having false positives. I got a positive on the quad screening with my first baby for Trisomy 18. An amniocentesis did confirm that she actually did have it after she passed away when I was 8 months pregnant with her.
Avatar f tn In 2 weeks there gonna do my quad screen test, you think.they'll tell me my.baby gender.? I havent had a us since my 8weeks check up. I'll be 16 weeks.
Avatar f tn I took a quad screening at 13 weeks. It's a blood test that checks for down syndrome and trisomy. There are also ultrasound tests and things they look for when checking for downs. You can request a quad screening if they don't offer one.
Avatar n tn t want to stress it i felt something in my quad move upward into my quad more, now today it is really sore in that spot and prior to this My quad never really hurt but it was what I hit. The area around my knee cap also hurts. I am just wondering how long it could take for a quad muscle to heal from a direct blow but with no bruising and if the weakness in the VMO muscle could cause my knee to pop and IT band to snap at times and cause pain in my pes anserine bursa.
Avatar n tn I had quad by-pass surgery 6 months ago and still have stabbing pain and pinching in my chest.
Avatar f tn 150 for downs (age 30, 1sttest pregnancy). So now I just had the MaterniT21 (?) Test. I also have to get a level 2 ultrasound at 20 wks (was a level 1 previously). Anyone else get abnormal quad test? My husband and I are very stressed now and this didn't even occur to us. We have no family history and I didn't think 30 was a HUGE worry...
378557 tn?1233249392 My doctor ordered a Quad Test for me in a few weeks; I will be 11 weeks by that appointment. I have been reading online that Quad tests are not done until weeks 15-20.... is this true?? Is there even going to be a point for me to get tested at 11 weeks; will it be accurate? I have read all about the test and know what is involved. I'm just wondering if anyone else had a Quad test so early on?? Thank you!
Avatar f tn if positive result, then amnio recommended (15-22 wks) If your first visit with your health care provider is AFTER 14 weeks, then you would have Triple or Quad prenatal screening, though Triple has been replaced by Quad in most areas because it is a little more accurate. Both Triple & Quad screens are blood samples taken at 15-20 wks with amnio recommended at 15-22 wks if results are positive.

514585 tn?1328740013 but they asked me if i wanted the triple or quad testing, the cvs, or the amnio...and i told them no. I was 34 when i GOT pregnant, and turned 35 2 weeks AFTER i got pregnant.....did i make the right choice??? not sure if the test were to come back abnormal if i would have done anything or not. i have had 3 very normal children with no real problems....is there really a high chance of having one WITH problems???
Avatar n tn My husband was quad riding about two weeks ago when he flipped over with the quad and it was going to land on his chest but before it did he lifted his hands to move the quad , he's been telling me that it hurts in the inside of his left back and chest and he only sleeps on his right side . Can u please tell me what he might of hurted himself inside of his body.
Avatar f tn I had my quad screening a couple of weeks ago and everything came back normal. I have had two ultrasounds, and both times the baby measured at two weeks later than they though. So this Friday ( the last ultrasound) they finally changed my due date. They recalculated my quad screen and now it is abnormal. With a 1:22 chance of baby having downs. Could this at all be wrong due to them changing my due date? None of this was explained too well by the nurse who called me.
Avatar f tn I'm going to pass on the quad screen... If it were 100%, I or much closer than 75% accurate I may do it...
Avatar n tn It has been 4 months since I hit my VMO quad hard at my desk. There is a constant dull pain and at times sharp sensations and tingling and my leg will contract trying to do something. About 3 weeks ago I was standing and felt something release and felt blood flow down the back of my leg. I thought this may have been the end of it. The next morning I woke up and there was a bruise right in the spot where I hit it. This is the first time there was ever a bruise.
Avatar n tn If he tries to run or jump, he will get sharp pain. His quad is still really week, which the Dr says is why it hurts. The fragment was in the outer top right of his right knee. But his pain is coming from lower inside of his patella. Would love to hear anyone who has had this surgery and how they are doing now.
Avatar n tn when I do straight leg raises and contract my knee I sometimes encounter that sharp knife pain in knee. Also my knee locks up after doing quad sets and leg raises, Ive been told cause of the weak quadricep that is why? Anyone else out there with this?
359142 tn?1321120923 The Quad test is a blood test. It tests AFP, hCG, Estriol, (uE3), Inhibin (DIA, dimeric Inhibin-A). See if you can take a look at this link that shows how normal levels at 14-20 weeks are compared to those who are carrying Down's Syndrome or Trisomy 18 babies. http://www.cclbooks.com/images/Online_Sample_Page_43.
1740049 tn?1396011136 Last week at 17w1d, I had quad screening. I recently received a letter for an appointment to Maternal Serum Screening Counseling. What is this gor?Although there are no chromosomal abnormalities in either blood line, that I am aware of, there is nothing that I can do to prevent them in my children.. I just want to prepare my mind for whatever comes my way.. Thanks in advance.
Avatar n tn Although the antibiotics may kill the bacteria that is causing the abscess, if the core of the abscess does not come to the surface or is not removed by the doctor or the nurse, the abscess will continue to fester. Apply a hot compress to draw the abscess to the surface. If there is no broken skin on the abscess, you can purchase magnesium sulphate from the pharmacy and apply this to the abscess. This is a drawing ointment and can only be used on unbroken skin.
Avatar f tn At my appointment on Friday my doctor told me I want to get the quad screen done. So what I'm wondering how many of you got the quad screen done and how many would recommend it?
Avatar n tn I chose not to do the quad screen or amniocentesis. With the quad screen, it doesn't give you a definite answer, just the chances your child may have of having something. The risk of miscarriage with an amnio deterred me from that!I figure the results weren't going to change how I feel about my baby and I didn't want to stress the rest of my pregnancy over it .
Avatar f tn Like a DNA test to find out the baby's father or do you mean a quad screening to see if your baby is high risk for anything?
Avatar n tn My Dr office called me after the ultrasound because a cyst was found on my baby girls brain. They had me come in and do a quad screening, which makes me nervous because that test has a lot of false positives, I have read up on these cysts and it is suppose to be very rare for a babyto get trisomy 18... the oonly abnormalities in the ultrasound was the cyst. I am freaking out and have a week to wait on results...
Avatar m tn While I was on interferon therapy and my resistance was low, I developed an abscess on my buttock that was drained and healed. For several months now I have had pain that feels deeper in the tissue, possibly in the ischeum. It has never come to a point and there is no drainage that I can detect. I cannot see any external signs of swelling or redness. Have not been feverish recently. Could this be an ischiorectal abscess or possibly pudental nerve pain?
Avatar f tn My 9 month old cat recently had an abscess that burst on his side. I took him to the vet two days ago and he was put on amoxicillin. Today, right next to the burst abscess there is another abscess formed. There are not visible wounds so there is nowhere to drain from. He does not feel warm to touch on his nose or his ears. The vet is closed for two days and there are no emergency clinics near me. Please offer advice on how to help my Oliver.
