Although percutaneous ethanol injection is the most commonly used therapeutic method for treating cystic thyroid nodules in the world, some authors insist on complete evacuation of infused ethanol for prevention of ethanol leakage or other potential complication (6–8), whereas others prefer nonaspiration of infused ethanol for simplicity (1–5).
I found an original post dated 11/24/08 about Ethanol/Alcohol Ablation but at that time according to the reply it still wasn't available in the US. I've been told by my doctor that I'm hyperthyroid and have mild T3 toxicosis likely from a toxic MNG or Hot nodule. Anyway I would like to find a doctor today that is doing Ethanol/Alcohol Ablation. It's been a few years since the original post and I'm hoping that it's now being done in the US.
Lab tests for ethanol are measured in mg/DL (miligrams per decilitre.) To convert your results to blood alcohol level, move the decimal three places to the left. In your case, your BAC would be 0.18, which is above the legal drinking limit in the USA and Canada.
Sometimes ethanol injection can be done after documenting benign cytology by FNA and re-accumulation after 2-3 drainage attempts."
Is it best to have my cyst aspirated more than once? It is a large 3.5 cm cyst on my right thyroid lobe. During my FNA biopsy 3 months ago, 30 mL of fluid aspirated. However, it filled back up within 10 days and has steadily increased in size since.
This was my only attempt to have it aspirated.
Sonographically guided percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) has been recently used with excellent results in the treatment of toxic and pretoxic thyroid adenoma. The aim of the present study was to assess the efficacy of PEI also in the treatment of "cold" thyroid nodules. Twenty patients, each with a single thyroid nodule, underwent PEI. In all cases the nodules were found to be cold by thyroid scintiscan. A total of 16.1 mL +/- 3.1 mL of ethanol was injected once a week.
I took metronidazole gel at about 20 weeks for bv and baby is fine now at about 28 weeks
at first i didnt bother it but after my medication in soar throat and allergy(urcatitaria), my vagina started to became itchy and again, everyday i started having green discharged for `1 week. i went to a gynecologist and she prescribed me a metronidazole miconazole vaginal suppository and ive used that for `1 week.. now what my problem is, my white discharge had stop.. i am also currently taking up medice for my UTI and had experiexed sex but that was like long time ago...
For the past ten days I have been taking Metronidazole (Two 250mg oral tablets, twice daily).
I took my last pills lastnight around 10:30 pm.
My question is, would it be okay for me to consume alcohol on Saturday night?
I know my pharmacist told me to absolutely stay away from alcohol while I was taking the pills because I would vomit alot, and he said most people wait a couple of days after they've finished before they drink. Im just wondering if two days is enough time?
Metronidazole can cause diarrhea as a side effect. But it may be also working on the infective cause of your dog's illness in the first place, so don't stop it without speaking to your vet.
Meanwhile keep your dog hydrated. If you can find an unflavoured electrolyte drink like Pedialyte that would be great. Plain water would do for a short time but Pedialyte would be better.
My heart beat is erratic most of the time anyway but when I tried taking flagyl for campylobacter, it didn't affect my heart at all. I just got extremely sick and intestinal issues worsened. They had to switch me.
