speech pathology exam

Dear tuppps: Likely the examination will include a breast examination (both sides) as well as examination of the lymph nodes as well as review of all the medical information, pathology reports and films, if applicable. In many cases, the oncologist will do a limited physical.

It seems like that for any emergency visit pertaing to the abdominal to chest region, they do a rectal exam. they say they have to check and make sure that this is not one of the factors of the problem. Especially you men or boys. If they made going to the doctors less mortifying, more men wouldn't be reluctant to go get a physical. What's the reason for it? Are there other procedures instead? If the person had sever anal fissures, then what would they do?

s thyroiditis have tongue issues that has/had an impact on your speech? I have the scalloped appearance to my tongue, a swollen feeling near the back and underneath the tongue which affects my speech. Did the thyroid meds fix the problem and if so, how long did it take?

First abnormal mammogram 2 weeks ago: "worrisome cluster of pleomorphic malignant-appearing microcalcifications." I am scheduled for stereotactic biopsy next week. However, my doctor said that benign pathology on this biopsy would be an "unexpected result". He said if the pathology on this shows benign, he wants to do a more invasive biopsy (needle guided, i suppose?) Question: is this typical procedure?

The Gleason score is a number or numbers given based on findings in a pathology exam of a prostate biopsy. The Gleason score is used to stage prostate cancer, and provide a rough prognosis. Higher numbers mean more cancerous cells doing more things, but there are important details worth knowing. See the entry on Wikipedia, on Prostate-Cancer.org, or similar sites for lots of details.

I am having some issues with my tongue not coordinating correctly with my soft palate when swallowing. I have had a swallow test, neuro exam, ENT exam, speech therapist exam all with normal results. I do have a history of bad GERD and the ENT said I have some throat irritation from it. Has anyone had their GERD affect their tongue? I am scared to death of ALS right now, and am looking for some simple answers. Thanks.

Just a few quick questions before another exam on Monday.... can a small ovarian cyst (golf ball size) be cancerous or does it have to be larger? and can I have ovarian cancer and still have a normal ca-125 level? Thank you.

He gave me a tablet for vitamin d deficiency and a tablet to control the movement in my arms and legs. I am also going for an eye exam tomorrow.

It seemed to loosen up my speech a little. then on the way home there were times when my speech seemed a little crazy. I just found out from my boyfriend that he thinks I have sleep apnea also, but apparently this has happened on and off for two years and I have always snored so I assume that this would not be another sign of MND. It is just so scary.

So, around this time last year I experienced tingling in my left hand that lasted for a few days, coupled with extreme fatigue. Days later, I developed nystagmus only upon waking that lasted for about 10 minutes or so. That eventually went away after about a month. About six months later I had a severe headache that migrated to my right eye and lasted for over a week. Went to an optometrist, no optic neuritis.

Sent to gastro who wanted to do endoscopy, but my stomach actually was feeling better, altho pain upon palpation and intermittent abdominal and back pain still present. Went for annual gyno exam last week and w/complaints of heavy menses, abdominal distention and painful interal exam an US was ordered and completed this week. I am now quite distraught and believe that this cyst most likely has been there since at least last spring and I am very worried about ovarian cancer.

Its been 2 days since the extraction and I noticed that I have an impairment in my speech; a lisp.Is this normal ? Is my mouth getting accustom to the new area? Will it go away? Any advice/help is appreciated. I am worried this will become the way I speak. Thank you in advance!

Hello - recently I went to my GP for an exam for surgical clearance for an issue totally unrelated to the MS that I have. I was given, basically, a complete physical. The doctor who I saw (one covering for my GP) told me that my speech was odd to her. It seemed, to her, that I had a 'mouth full of candy' making my speech seem odd. She suggested that I follow up with my neurologist.

No pneumothorax or pleural effusion. No acute skeletal pathology. Normal cardiac silhouette size without vascular congestion. findings are negative for the radiographic stigmata of active tuberculosis. impression: Nonspecific right cardiophrenic region mass. Considerations include pericardial cysts, fat pad lipoma, aneurysm, Morgagni hernia, or pulmonary neoplasm. CT recommended to further characterize. ALERT: Abnormal finding requiring followup.

I cannot help explain your symptoms with information about the physical exam findings, xray reports, pathology reports, lab tests. .

Pathology report shows infiltrating mammary carcinoma, no special type, low combined histologic grade, Low proliferative rate with apocrine cytology, measuring at least 6MM in greatest extent (best measrued on P63 IHC Slide) Calponin and P63 show absence of myoepithelial cells int he neoplastic tubules, consistent with an invasive interpretation. Immunohistochemical studies for estrogen receptor and progesteron receptor are negative. My questions: No special type? What does that mean?

You can still request that your slides be read by another Pathology Lab. If you aren't seeing a Breast Specialist I suggest that you do so and this might help clear things up for you. I'm sure you are more than aggravated at how things have gone in the past. I'm not sure why the ADH wouldn't show up on Excisional Biopsy unless the area was so small that it was removed by the previous needle procedure/ OR/ the Excisional Biopsy did not include the area of ADH.

t seen that as a test for dysphagia in any MS forum. It seems more relevant to get a barium swallow or speech pathology assessment. I've had so many tests lately, and spent so much time at the clinic, that I'd like to avoid this if it's not necessary. Any thoughts?

If such an exam where possible I'm sure many people would say yes (I am not one of them). However, no such exam exists. The auto-refractor at the dr's office is probably the closest "quick & easy" measurement device out there (to what you're asking) and it's not perfect.

If clinical visual exam yields no significant finding and no orodental complaints, and past x-rays did not reveal hard tissue pathology, current x-ray may not be indicated. Seeing a dentist who can meet your demand is advised.
