Avatar m tn My question today is your thoughts on a new testing algorithm. I know 4th generation testing has been around for a while and that your stance has been that these tests are conclusive at 28 days. Just recently I went to get tested in Massachusetts a month after my last sexual experience. As I know the duo test they perform would be conclusive at that point.
972306 tn?1247846608 Treatment In all patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy risk stratification is essential to attempt to ascertain which patients are at risk for sudden cardiac death.[2][5] In those patients deemed to be at high risk the benefits and infrequent complications of defibrillator therapy are discussed; devices have been implanted in as many as 15% of patients at HCM centers.

Avatar m tn HIV Screen 4th Generation wRfx - Reactive (Client Requested Flag See additional algorithm elsewhere in this report) HIV 1 Ab - Negative HIV 2 Ab - Negative HIV 1 RNA Qualitative - Negative Interpretation: Negative Final Interpretation: HIV antibodies were not confirmed and HIV 1 RNA was not detected. No laboratory evidence of HIV 1 infection. Follow-up testing for HIV 2 should be performed if clinically indicated. I'm confused because there is no additional algorithm in the report.
5106112 tn?1363683091 While early prophylaxis in surgical patients with low-molecular-weight-heparin has been associated with significant reductions in postoperative venous thrombosis, it is important that ACCP Recommendations are also checked with regards to the risk stratification levels. For patients following total knee replacement, administering pharmacological and mechanical methods are often indicated based on the recommendations.
Avatar n tn The rsik of stroke is higher when in Afib than when not. However, for true statistics, i recommend you look on the american heart association website under their entry for a-fib. Being on blood thinner is the right course of action. Talk to a professional about the true risk differential. Best wishes.
Avatar m tn Since you had an HIV risk. You will need to test after your 3 month wndow. From now on always use condoms. HIV is not a nubers game.
Avatar n tn Quix has a great reflexes post, but essentially, there is a stratification of reflexes into categories that run from no reflex (that's pathological) to hyperrflexia (which at the other end of the spectrum is pathological). Really experienced neuros allegedly get these partly subjective assessments correct. A +2 or +3 is considered normal, but a +4 or +5 (if they use a 5-point scale) is pathological (brisk, hyper).
Avatar n tn I had oral sex with a man over about a month ago. He wore a condom. It was the first time that I had a homosexual experience. While he was very gentle his penis did reach way back in my throat. Afterwards, he put his penis in my butt. About 3-5 days after this encounter I experienced severe pain in the lower to middle region of my throat. Then everytime I exercise the pain gets worse. I've been to the doctor and don't have strep throat. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with me.
Avatar n tn This is because the success with opening it when it has been occluded for some time is very low and the risk of causing a stroke is high The risk of havinga stroke after the blood vessel is blocked is very low.
Avatar m tn 3D lung reconstruction uses Improved Ray Casting Algorithm which provides information for diagnosing respiratory problems.Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) system is also sometime used but these have the same concept of integrating algorithms produced on the CT scans.Im not so sure about the companies which design these software systems.Such highly designed mulitmedia systems come up with preinstalled softwares which are provided by the manufactures of the machinery it self.
Avatar f tn I have never heard of that before. I don't honestly see how it could cause a stroke. I know that stroke is the biggest risk of afib.
Avatar m tn for people younger than 65 years with no risk factors the untreated annual risk of stroke is about 1%, whereas with one or more risk factors it is about 5%; for people aged 65-75 years with no risk factors the annual risk of stroke is about 4%, and with one or more risk factors it is about 6% per year; and for people older than 75 years with no risk factors the risk of stroke is about 3%-4%, whereas with one or more risk factors it is about 8% (see Box 2) (E1).7,26 from http://www.mja.com.
Avatar f tn Risk factors for stroke include advanced age, hypertension (high blood pressure), previous stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), diabetes, high cholesterol, cigarette smoking, atrial fibrillation, the contraceptive pill, migraine with aura, and thrombophilia (a tendency to thrombosis), patent foramen ovale and several rarer disorders. High blood pressure is the most important modifiable risk factor of stroke.
1831849 tn?1383228392 Just read it - I had to look up viremia though, lol But, for those who read it, they speak about JC viremia positive ...viremia is is condition where virus enter the bloodstream. Kyle - After reading this, I felt it doesn't seem it's anything new/different than what is practiced and recommended now...do you? Meaning they do repeat testing (but are they suggesting from below more broad viremia? Perhaps I'm not understanding the meaning of it)...
Avatar f tn I had stroke at the age of 26. Do you know anyone that's happen to? My neurologist a Said they couldn't find any reason this should have happen to me.
