arava

Avatar n tn i take the leflunomide (arava) but also take pills for the reflux, which does help. I take renitidine i believe it is called. I found it worked pretty good for the swelling myself. I am also on the Embrel, but still do not have R.A under control. I just wanted to say that the arava was the best drug i have taken up until i was put on the embrel. I live in B.
Avatar m tn My MRI states A 9mm arterially enhancing focus in segment 4 which demonstrates washout and is consistent for HCC. With a tumor this small is this 100% for sure I have HCC?
Avatar f tn but the loss of the central fatty hilum is sometimes a concerning feature seen on US, and FNA can help determine if this may be a suspicious node (make sure the FNA is sent for cytology AND Tg-washout). In the absence of increasing serum TG, there is not likely a need for routine CXR.

Avatar f tn He has been on a combination of Arava 20 mg ( Hydroxychloroquine) and Plaquenil (Leflunomide) . He has been going severly downhill since January and has lost 40 pounds, has constant mucous drainage that he chokes on especially after meals, and has severe shortness of breath. Can these symptoms be a result of the medications he is taking? Is it safe for him to take two synthetic DMARDS at the same time?
Avatar f tn Friday I called my neuro to find out if they want me to do a washout period on Tysabri, as they are considering me for the new drug out in March. I've ben on Tysabri almost a year and JC+ from the start The nurse told me my test showed 1.03. which means nothing to me. Anyone know anything about this test?
294425 tn?1288528395 The article also says that the patient was started on Gilenya after only being off Tysabri for 6 weeks, when the recommended washout period is actually 12 weeks. There are still alot more questions than answers about this situation - hopefully more specific information will continue to become available, so it can all be put into better perspective. And hopefully this will prove to be an isolated case ... time will tell.
Avatar f tn in the two oclock axis middl depth there is a linear asymmetric area of nodular enhancement displaying a 5% washout curve which extends over a length 2.6cm, there is moderate ductal enhancement" the right breast reports ' anterior 10 oclock axis there is a 1 x 0.3 x 0.6 cm masslike area of enhancement displaying a 13% washout curve' both need biopsys and am scheduled on the 9th of dec, time is going so slowley.
Avatar f tn To use washout die in your hair ? While pregnant I'm 15 weeks and 5 days. And was just wondering ..
1475492 tn?1332884167 You would not be on two DMDs at the same time, especially not with Tysabri. Previous DMD use has to be stopped and there is a washout period of at least 30 days before you can begin Tysabri. If the neurologist doesn't require a washout period, get out of there and go to someone who knows what they are doing. If you choose to go off of Tysabri, there is going to be another washout period. The recommended length for Tysabri to gilenya, is about 4 months.
Avatar m tn Hi, "Washout kinetics" is one of the means that radiologists use to distinguish between a benign lesion and a lesion which may be cancer. During the MRI process, you receive an injection of dye. A lesion that has quick enhancement after the injection and then has a high degree of washout (i.e.
Avatar f tn Recently, I have checked in https://www.easycalculation.com/medical/adrenal-washout-calculator.php website about the calculation of Adrenal Adenoma Percentage. It is a kind of Tumour occurs in Adrenal glands. It has been clearly explained about how to calculate the percentage of Adrenal glands using formula and with an example. I have read in magazine that it affects adults of any age. As my age is 23, I am so scared about this tumour.
Avatar f tn There are several geographic, peripheral hypervascular foci, predominantly in the left hepatic lobe, which do not demonstrate washout on the portal venous or delayed phases and are likely vascular shunts. No suspicious liver lesion. 1. Is there anything to be concerned about? 2. What does "geographic, peripheral hypervascular foci" mean??? 3. What are "vascular shunts"? Thanks in advance.
Avatar n tn 4. Right hepatic lobe posterior segment mass with early arterial enhancement and rapid washout. These features are compatible with a neoplastic mass and/or atypical hemangioma. The possibility of metastatic or primary hepatic neoplastic lesion is within the differential diagnosis of this right hepatic lobe lesion.

Avatar f tn Parnate is the best but I am on Prozac (fluoxetine, really) and I would never be able to withstand the 5 to 6-week Prozac-to-MAOI washout. I have taken Vivactil (protriptyline) in the past and it had some beneficial effects. I liked the quick energy boost; you take it when you wake up, for instance, and it helps separate "sleep-time" from "wakefulness-time" in a non habit-forming way. It also worked pretty quickly. I was in the 40-60 mg/day range.
Avatar f tn s thyroglobulin-needle washout? I know the analysis on the sample drawn by the FNA is performed by a cytologyst in the country I live, isn't that enough? Thanks in advance!
Avatar m tn This is likely a recurrence. Should have FNA biopsy of this -- both for cytology (slides) and needle washout for thyroglobulin. If positive for PTC then the next step is usually neck surgery possibly followed by more I-131. Key here is to work with a doctor/team accustomed to planning treatments for recurrent cancer.
Avatar f tn 3cm) and has an absolute washout of 81% and relative washout of 72%. All good. What I did not look at the report was in relation to liver nodules. In 2019 a single 6mm nodule was reported as a possible cyst. On this occasion (this month) nodules were mentioned in the plural with the size of 7mm. In this recent CT an additional 20mm "hyper-vascular" and "indeterminate" liver nodule with "no washout" was included in the report.
Avatar n tn My MRI said a segmental non masslike enhancement in the outer lower right breast with washout kinetics. What does that mean? Today the radiologist doing my biopsy said it might just be vague dense tissue with asymmetric edges , there were also cysts present any idea? I'm 42 and my left breast is riddled with papillomatosis.
382218 tn?1341181487 If it helps to know, when I made the switch to Tysabri from Copaxone, there was a two month washout period I had to wait for all of the copaxone to leave my system. You should be fine without it - you might have a bit more stinging when you resume your routine. Good luck with getting home.
Avatar f tn Just this week it was confirmed with MRI (plus all the other tests, including 3 (yes 3) biopsies) that I have not only DCIS (non-comedo) on left side, plus 3 other areas that are either "worrisome" or "highly suspicious." Surgeon says mastectomy is the "only way to be sure whether it is invasive or not." He also plans to take a couple of lymph nodes, just to be sure. MRI report says: "On the left, an irregular 1.6 x 0.
4948854 tn?1361415033 My latest mri showed 3 new flash filling tumors with rapid washout in left and middle lobe. Mri states ddx fnh, hcc. Adenoma not typical. My gastro says wait six months to see if they grow. Do fnh multiply during clinical follow up. Can I have fnh and hcc? Is it safe to wait six months for imaging? No hep c or contraceptive use. Past alcohol abuse. Please any info would be great!
Avatar n tn Yes i went to see my dentist twice and had xrayed twice and was told nothing is wrong with the tooth. I was told that if keeps bothering for 2 or more weeks then he might remove the crown and check the tooth. The tooh is sensitive with cold and hot and pressure pain when eating hard food. The pain goes all the way to the gums but its a pressure pain. It feel like someone is pressing the tooth forcefully. I also have a bad headache after eating. my jaws hurts. I have a bad tmj.
