Question 1

I have shallow anterior chamber and suspected to have sjgren's syndrome but no dry eyes. can these be related.

Accepted Answer

Dry eyes is a separate disease to be treated usually with topical drops and even restasis. However if you have a shallow anterior chamber a prophylactic laser iridotomy must be done to prevent angle closure.

Question 2

What is the fluid in the anterior eye chamber?

Accepted Answer

The anterior chamber fluid, or aqueous humor, is produced by the ciliary processes behind the iris and is very similar to fluid in the kidney tubules and extra-cellular spaces, except for a very high concentration of Ascorbic Acid for buffering.

Question 3

I constantly need to take a deep breath to get air in. i had a single chamber leadless pacemaker placed 3 weeks ago, other than that i'm healthy?

Accepted Answer

If you feel short of breath, call your doctor right away or go to the ER if it is persistent and constant. Respiratory and blood abnormalities can cause this feeling, as can meds. If you have trouble breathing, don't drive yourself but get seen if you don't hear from the doc quickly.

Question 4

What is the probability of haveing another baby with hypoplasia right chamber again?

Accepted Answer

The risk of any future birth with any form of heart defect is quoted as 4%, or 8% if one parent and 1 child have any heart defect. Transmission of identical defects is unlikely unless they are part of an inherited dominant syndrome (rare).A visit with a geneticist might clarify the inputs to risk from either side of the family & prior births.

Question 5

Who cannot use a hyperbaric chamber?

Accepted Answer

First you should have a diagnosis that is approved to be treated with hbo, then if you have or had certain illnesses you may be excluded- collapsed lung, detached retina, seizure disorder and even these are not hard exclusions.

Question 6

What are the effects of the hyperbaric oxygen chamber?

Accepted Answer

Best would be to look online-- in short, the pressure forces more oxygen into solution( in blood), and this non-cellular part of the blood, plasma, can nourish parts of the skin etc that are fed by small vessels, where the cells, which usually carry most of the oxygen, are too big to reach.  This, along with the formation of new blood vessels helps healing specific wounds.  +++++.

Question 7

Why is caverject (alprostadil) 40mcg not presented as a dual chamber injection?
why is it necessary for the 20mcg caverject (alprostadil) to be kept in the fridge and not the 40

Accepted Answer

They may have the same storage recommendations, according to various websites. Ask the pharmacist to double check. A website for the 40mcg dose says: 24 months storage under refrigerated conditions (2-8°c). After dispensing, 3 months at room temperature (do not store above 25°c), included in 24 months shelf life. After reconstitution, the product may be stored for 6 hours below 25°c.

Question 8

Who cannot use a hyperbaric oxygen chamber?

Accepted Answer

Must not - people with a collapsed lung or are using medications that impair wound healing (cisplatin, sulfamylon), affect the lungs (bleomycin) or other (doxorubicin, disulfiram). Might not - those with asthma, claustrophobia, copd, pregnancy, an epidural pain pump, a pacemaker, seizure disorder, upper respiratory infection, high fever, eustachian tube dysfunction, or congenital spherocytosis.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Or hepatitis, plus bacterial infection. Although low probability, you should be tested. Good luck.

Question 10

Basilar migr. i pass out frm them. am now using low pressure hyperbaric chamber. keeps the vle ones under co ntro. anyore research on this?

Accepted Answer

Sorry, i disagree with your diagnosis, as this is a disorder of adolescent females, not 68 Y.O. Women.  You may have migraines, but the altered consciousness episodes could more likely represent cardiac events, seizure activity, or transient ischemic attacks in the vertebrobasilar circulation.  If you have cervical spondylosis, the vertebrals may be compromised in neck.  See medical school team.
