A dysplstic mole sometimes show severe atypia.There is lot of confusion about nomenclature,but this is not a melanoma.However your consultant may like to remove it with a border.My knowledge about melanomas are restricted,but this is the baseline and the broader picture.Do get the expert column reply.
I don't think it will make your back pain worse,possibly better.
For back patients who undergo surgery, 15 to 20 per cent will fall into the category of 'the failed back' - the official nomenclature for people with chronic, considerable back pain that doctors can't fix.
Good luck! hopefully everything will be fine!
Some but not all things in radiology have standardized nomenclature. Out of all the subspecialties, women's imaging is the most structured with the BI-RADS lexicon. In your case, mild, moderate, and severe sound more like subjective terms. You should obtain a copy of your radiology images on a disc in DICOM format, bring it to your main facility, then have a radiologist and/or neurosurgeon compare the images to see if there is any interval change.
ITP by nomenclature means "cause unknown." The condition of low platelets can be identified, but sometimes, what is causing the condition cannot be determined, hence "idiopathic."
Good questions, but your diagnosis suggests that no one, not even your doctors and specialists have yet to figure out the root cause of your thrombocytopenia. Wishing you best of luck.
ADD is no longer a diagnosis in the most current version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. ADHD is the current nomenclature and has 3 subtypes, hyperactive-impulsive type, predominately inattentive type, and combined type.
t know the technical nomenclature how to define the power of specs. i know this only roughly. my problem is that whenever i watch tv, work on computer or study for long i feel my vision has blurred even while usig specs. i have consulted 4 different eye specialists. but they found no problem with my eyes. my specs power is unchanged for many years. but my vision without specs has reduced significantly.
I'm having my pit tumor resection on Dec 19th. The tumor is 4mm x 9mm and sits on a bed of cysts or perhaps prior damage/bleeding. Surgeon says he'll know more once he sees it. He also says cysts can be normal nomenclature in this area. I didn't ask him during the consult what he plans to do with the cysts.
Question: did any of you experience cysts around your pit tumor? If so- did they remove, drain or leave them alone?

The pacemaker itself should not be a deterent from having an ablation. I've had a pacemaker for 6 years (because of an ablation actually), and then had another ablation about a year ago. Unfortunately, the ablations don't work for me, but I have IST, not SVT so hopefully they're more effective for that.
My pacemaker battery had been dead for over a year and a half, and I just now was told that the pacemaker will have to be removed because it can damage the heart if it doesn't have a battery. Is this true? Incidentally, my pacemaker had not been activated for several years, as it was set for the minimum and didn't ever have to kick in.
I have had numerous surgeries including the Fontan in 1987 with a revision of the Fontan in 2006, where at that time I also had a Medtronic Enrhythym Pacemaker install. 3 weeks ago I had a Pacemaker replacement due to the fact my battery on my Pacemaker was running low. The new Pacemaker installed is a Medtronic Adapta. Since the new pacemaker my Heart beat has been all over the place. My 1st Enrhythym was paced at 80 bpm, and it pretty much stayed like that for 5.
i had 3 open heart surgery and on my 2nd. pacemaker.. my first pacemaker last me for 18yrs. and just got my 2nd. pacemaker Dec.2006.. my pacemaker was implanted in my upper chest on the right side.. only thing i hate the surgery doctor told me he would use the same cut as the other pacemaker but when i woke up he cut me in another spot.. well i can say.. ask your doctor his he using the same cut as the first pacemaker was in..
Do you have a pacemaker? The best is to check with your doctor or pacemaker technician. I don't know what can it cause the heart functioning abnormality if you have the inverted T waves? Anyone knows?
It also depends if you're a pacemaker dependent or not. I'm not a pacemaker depend. I go well with the equipment which marks "Pacemaker user caution". If I found my heart beats abnormally, then I stop using it and try again after the heart settle.
Hi
So they call it "Nongonococcal urethritis (NGU)" after we know its not gonorrhea (that's the "non gono" part). Most of the time yes, chlamydia will cause NGU. Once someone has tested negative for both gono and chlamydia, while testing positive for NGU (as shaken said; the presence of WBC's on a swab or urine,) then that's when they can call it non-chlamydia NGU. Its all just naming nomenclature non-sense.
Hi,
I'm sorry about your mom. Its my understanding that they don't "stop" the pacemaker, Nature takes it course regardless of the pacemaker. I went through this with my mom.
My normal pulse rate with out pacemaker is 54 ppm. My dual lead pacemaker is set at 70 ppm, some people with pacemakers have the pacemaker rate set below their normal heart Resting rate Ex. normal rate 50 ppm
Pacemaker set at 45 ppm. What determines the optimun pulse rate for the pacemaker?
My Doctor is willing to set it at any rrrrrrrrrrate I choose.
I am 86 years old in good physical shape,play tennis do nautilis and swim several times a week.
I don't believe a pacemaker is used to control AFib. Perhaps your father has other heart problems. The most common use for a pacemaker is to keep the heart from beating too slow, or stopping. Some times a PM is used when the heart electrical system has to be totally shut down, in which case there would be no AFib or other arrhythmia, but this is not done to my knowledge, to control AFib.
Pacemaker batteries will not run out unexpectedly. When a battery is running low, the elective replacement indicator (ERI) is activated. Physicians can detect this activation during a routine office visit. In addition, the battery status and the general functioning of the pacemaker can be tested over the telephone. This is generally done every one to two months.
my mother had a pacemaker implant ans was told that if she is ok in the next three weeks it will be removed. is this possible? To remove the pacemaker?? so why was it necessary to do this in the first place?
I just had a dual lead pacemaker put in 3 days ago to control accelerated junctional rhythm. The same night of surgery I had ajr of 135 it had overridden my pacemaker. I continue to have junctional rhythms and very rarely is my heart rate,at 85 which is what pacemaker is set at. I can't walk from one room to another without heart racing and out of breath. I feel horrible.. Will this get better as maybe my heart is irritated? I feel worse than. Before pacemaker.
my wires/leads stick out under my skin a little more then rest of my pacemaker, but i dont know if this is common since my pacemaker is placed on my right side of chest. shoulder pain and burning sensation with pacemaker kind of work as a team, is there anything that i'm doing wrong? i'm not tugging or pulling on anything just sitting around.
