t smoke, do exercise, am thin). My doctor put me on a diuretic, Tekturna and Bystolic, and within a week I had completely lost my sense of taste! Anyone else experienced this? I'm wondering if it's a side effect that will wear off if I just stick it out. The combination seems to be working well to lower my bp and hr but I'm losing weight (a bad thing) and really, really miss food!
Lisinpril can cause a chronic cough and you should stop this medication to see how the cough changes. It may be replaced with valsartan or candesartan which do not usually cause this side effect. The verapamil usually does not cause this side effect. This may not be related to your medications, and chronic cough or ' bronchial asthma' may actually be cardiac in nature ( e.g. CHF). Make sure your physician takes this other consideration into account.
I appreciate your effort to share information. The article indicates that potassium level is a PREDICTOR of poor outcomes in HBV-related decompensated cirrhosis patients. It did not say that a high potassium level causes poor outcomes. It seems to me that a cirrhotic patient with a high potassium level indicates that cirrhosis is worst. Does eating bananas good or bad for you?
Is there any way to check the outcomes of laser vision correction procedures performed by surgeons? For example, when it comes to cardiac procedures, NY State requires certain mortality and difficulty information to be reported to the state and this information is available by hospital and by doctor.
No one treatment improved all examined outcomes and few assessed complete response or sustained outcomes (i.e., at >6 months off treatment).
HBV DNA clearance was assessed using assays with different sensitivities to detect HBV DNA. Adefovir and lamivudine increased HBV DNA clearance at end of treatment versus placebo. Entecavir increased clearance versus lamivudine with inconsistent effect size.
however, the impact of viral load on long-term outcomes after spontaneous HBeAg seroconversion remains unclear.
Methods. A total of 390 spontaneous HBeAg seroconverters with a long-term follow-up were enrolled. Serum HBV-DNA levels at 1 year after HBeAg seroconversion were determined, and their correlation with long-term adverse outcomes was explored.
Results. In a mean follow-up of 6.8 years, the average annual incidence rates were 4.4% and 1.
Stage IV: Using this system, outcomes are best for patients with early stages of disease, with small tumours, no spread to lymph nodes, and no distant spread (metastasis) to other organs. Outcomes are also better for younger patients. Overall, despite treatment, 5-year survival for all types of lung cancer is not good: 11% for males and 14% for females.
Hi I had my 12 week scan and they found 9mm fluid around my baby’s Head and neck please can people tell me there stories and outcomes I still awaiting test to be done however not till a week or so would like to hear people experiences /outcomes ?
Hey,
I am sorry to hear about your father.
As you have experienced with your father, stroke is a common and a serious condition. The way that our brain reacts following a stroke is pretty much amazing. In case of your father, regaining his abilities to walk and talk is good expected. The fact that the hand is still "paralyzed" (although I won't call it paralysis) is because the upper limb's functional use in normal individuals is very complicated.
Contact the University of Maryland Medical Center. In general, outcomes for tinnitus are not great, I have to warn you. But UMMC has the best outcomes, and they are constantly doing research in this area.
Best of luck!
