Avatar m tn Last week I suffered a cryptogenic stroke of the left temporal cortex that presented with garbled speech and difficulty drinking from a cup. (Both symptoms have since resolved completely.) At hospital admission I was also extremely dehydrated and and my potassium was very low following several days of severe diarrhea. (I have no history of chronic hypokalemia.) Currently the only change from pre-stroke is a decrease in heart rate from a normal range of 60 to 70 to 42 to 55.

To decrease the thrombus or emboli, fibrinolytic drugs are to be taken. Tissue plasminogen activator is a fibrinolytic protein and it will reduce the size of thrombus or the blockage.

Avatar m tn Introduction: Physical therapy, often referred to as physiotherapy, is a healthcare profession focused on optimizing mobility, function, and overall quality of life through various therapeutic techniques and exercises. It plays a crucial role in aiding individuals recovering from injuries, managing chronic conditions, preventing disabilities, and enhancing physical performance. The benefits of physical therapy extend beyond mere rehabilitation, encompassing a wide range of health aspects.
Avatar n tn Treatment involves control of variceal bleeding (usually with endoscopic banding, IV octreotide, or both), prevention of recurrence using β–blockers and sometimes surgical shunts and thrombolysis (blood clots) for acute thrombosis." Usually pulmonary hypertention has an underlying cause of blood clots in the lungs or pulmonary artery. Hope this provides some insight into the medical problem.
Avatar m tn I do not believe the pacemaker guarantees there will be no recurrence of AFib. The question of how much protection is needed depends on risk factors. I'm not sure how a stroke counts in this regard, but the "conjecture" of AFib is one factor...I assume there is no present state of AFib. Again, based on risk factors (usually) doctors may prescribe just the use of aspirin for clot risk reduction.
Avatar n tn Use of condoms cuts the risk by about 50%. And I wouldn't say herpes entirely ruins lives :p You're talking to two people who live with it.
Avatar f tn When it comes to further minimizing the chance of breast cancer recurrence, Dr. Carolyn Kaelin, a Harvard surgeon, breast cancer survivor and author of The Breast Cancer Survivor's Fitness Plan, says, "Brisk walking - about 3.0 mph on a treadmill - for three to five hours per week, or about 30 minutes a day, can net big benefits for breast cancer survivors.

Avatar n tn You need to understand that the advantages of radiation therapy, hormone therapy and chemotherapy are prevention of recurrence, increasing the disease free survival period and to prevent the ocurrence of metastasis. Do let us know what your doctor advises. Hope this helps. Good luck.
Avatar n tn Did not have RAI nor can i remember the last time a thyroglobulin test was done. I do not have records of the surgery. I was under the impression all these years that the whole thyroid was removed. Only to find out this year I still have a right side. Having symptoms of thyroid disease. There is a 4mm lump on the right thyroid. My problem is I can't seem to get anyone to listen and run tests. I keep getting mixed answers.
Avatar f tn “ -“Interestingly, vitamin C, when coated with silicon, allowed the constant release of the active agent, resulting in a long-lasting vaginal low pH and prevention of vaginal irritation (Polatti et al., 2006). Other studies reported an effective and safe use of vaginal vitamin C tablets in BV treatment (Petersen et al., 2011), contributing to improve abnormal vaginal pH and microflora, especially in pregnant women (Zodzika et al., 2013).
Avatar m tn Of course there is a difference in preparation and lowering your risks to help prevent stroke or heart attack. Prevention is always the best approach, as much as possible that is.
Avatar n tn Of course it is possible to not have a second or subsequent stroke. It all depends on what caused your first and what you have done to adress the causative issues & any other stroke risk factors. My GP places this (secondary prevention) the highest on his priority list - above rehab even, which he leaves to my & my therapists. I have seen young people who have had multiple strokes & I do NOT want to bee one of them.
Avatar f tn Since ER,PR negative tumors are rarer than ER,PR positive tumors, not as much research has gone into the prevention of a recurrence. They are the neglected step-children of breast cancer research. However, Ki-67 positive tumors are considered to be more aggressive, but have been found to be particularly sensitive to chemotherapy. I had a 1.1 cm tumor that was triple negative. I chose to have a mastectomy and underwent four cycles of chemotherapy.
Avatar n tn I would like to know if there are any studies available of the recurrence rate of grade 1 tubular carcinomas, since I have to take tamoxifen and i was kind of trying to avoid it. I´m having six weeks of radiation therapy. If the recurrence rate is low, why taka a drug that has such side effects?
Avatar m tn I understand that this is useful for prevention, but not of course 100%, because currently condoms do not cover the base of the penis or the scrotum or the upper pubic area (and all of these are places one can get hsv-2?). Nothing is 100%, but I want to make the odds even better of not contracting hsv-2.

Avatar m tn There are some new computer programs with vision simulators that try to help patients try to rehabilitate the use of lost peripheral vision mainly from stroke and there has be at least some encouraging, though limited, results with that.
