Question 1

nodules were found on my xray, but then it says no acute cardiopulmary disease noted. what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

Means no disease: This is to say that the heart chambers do not appear enlarged.  No obvious calcifications are noted within the heart.  No desease of the aorta or vena cava.  And finally no pneumothorax, cavitary lesions, pneumonic processes or pleural effusions.

Question 2

my husband was diagnosed with bullous pemphagoid earlier this year.  due to the nature of the disease is the flu shot something to be avoided? thank u

Accepted Answer

Depends: If he is on medication that lowers body immunity (disease fighting capacity) like steroid or methotrexate etc   he should avoid the live influenza vaccine that is given as nasal spray. For injectable flu shot there is no problem. In fact he should take it because for him we wanted to avoid any other intercurrent illness.

Question 3

i am 21 years old suddenly i noticed 2 adjacent firm nodules (one is more firm than the other) in the center of the penile tissue. it causes no pain and there's no curvature or any deformity to shape or size, is it peyronnie's disease?

Accepted Answer

: "Peyronnie's disease" may be causative of "firm nodes" in the penis, and does not always cause deformity or erectile dysfunction. See a urologist for confirmation.

Question 4

what is emphysematous bullous lung disease?

Accepted Answer

COPD : Emphysema and obstructive lung disease cause air to be trapped cause air spaces to expand. They look like balloon like structures that may make breathing difficult.

Question 5

a nodule on my thyriod that cause hashimotos disease that i had to get removed due to its size is it the same thing as a hormone sectreting ademoma?

Accepted Answer

Does not add up: Nodules may form in Hashimoto, but a nodule does not cause Hashimoto. Size of a nodule is not related to its functional activity.

Question 6

is it true that bullous lung disease surgery dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: To an extent, all surgery is dangerous. Surgery on the lungs has inherent risks. These risks are related to age, other illnesses (like heart disease), your overall conditioning, lung function, and the exact procedure planned.  These factors are best addressed with a physician familiar with you, your condition, and the possible treatments.

Question 7

i was wondering is a labrador's fur harmful to people having a skin disease like bullous pemphigoid?

Accepted Answer

No: I'm not aware of any reason to be concerned about this.

Question 8

results also mentioned  about more than 1 nodule. also  fatty infiltration & hemangioma. does this mean i have fatty liver (disease? ) do i have to be on a special diet?

Accepted Answer

See note: Not sure about the nodule without seeing the actual report. Fatty infiltration and fatty liver are usually the same; however, in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) we typically see elevated liver enzymes, cholesterol, insulin resistance, and other changes. No need for a special diet but if you're overweight/obese, the best thing to do is to eat healthy, lose weight and exercise regularly.

Question 9

ive been diagnosed with restrictive lung disease had pt scan shows 12mm lung nodule with satellites.had sarcoidosis in the past. should i be worried ?

Accepted Answer

Pulmonologist: A pulmonologist should be involved. I also would have the pulmonologist sit down with the radiologist to get an opinion about suggestions for any further studies or referral to other specialists, such as a thoracic surgeon, which would be helpful for diagnosis and treatment. Sarcoidosis can explain the restrictive lung disease and the nodule may be an old granuloma. ?lung biopsy recommended.

Question 10

if i don't have graves' disease or hot nodules on my thyroid, yet it's producing 2x what is normal, what is the cause?

Accepted Answer

Thyroid: Depending on what lab is actually 2x as normal will help point to the root of the problem, however, i believe in treating the patient and not the labs.  So if your signs and symptoms point to dysfunction in thyroid supplementation with iodine and l-tyrosine will help support and normalize your thyroid numbers.  These 2 are building blocks for the hormone which we normally are deficient in.
