Question 1

what is : ac anti nuclear test? and it gave me this result : fluorescence positive a 1/320 (finement granulaire)  what does that mean ?

Accepted Answer

Autoantibody: This is an autoantibody and you need to say why it was ordered? By itself it may not mean much but in the context of clinical symptoms it can indicate autoimmune disease such as lupus. The pattern (finement) differs between autoimmune diseases.

Question 2

why would someone get  a neisseria gonorrhoeae dna hybridization?

Accepted Answer

DNA hybridization…: Test is used to screen a pt for the std gonorrhea or to confirm current infection. It is done on fluid from the cervix (female) or the urethra (male).

Question 3

sev. dev. delay -array comparative genetic hybridization (acgh) results indicate no abnormalities- would full genetic sequencing be advised (knome)?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: Newer genetic tests provide incite into a variety of issues like autism & other developmental variations.Yet causation remains elusive in many cases.Sadly, an injury to the developing brain centers from an unrecognized event in an otherwise normal  pregnancy is a likely cause for many.This occurs in at least half of cerebral palsy cases & dev.Delay could be produced in others, yet hard to prove.

Question 4

gyn did ana testing (routine visit) that came back with the pattern "cytoplasmic fluorescence". she referred me to a specialist - why? i'm worried!

Accepted Answer

Not significant: That pattern has no clinical significance. Why was an ANA ordered in the first place?

Question 5

for pathologist, 
paraneoplastic evaluation
tissue observation:

staining of hep2 cells suggests nuclear non-neuronal specific antibodies are present.

no fluorescence observed on neuronal tissue.

anything to this finding? is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Any symptoms?: Why were these tests done? All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, if you do not have any symptoms, you may wish to watch and wait.

Question 6

gyn did ana testing (first visit, routine checkup) that came back with pattern "cytoplasmic fluorescence". what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Not significant: That pattern has no clinical significance. Why was the test ordered in the first place?

Question 7

cytoplasmic fluorescence on ana test in pattern of liver disease, further bloods negative, do  i need liver biopsy? or repeat tests later on?

Accepted Answer

Doubt it: Cytoplasmic fluorescence usually means nothing.  If your physician is not worried, i would not be either.  Your physician may order a tube test for anti-ro/ssa, etc., if these relate to the present concern. The workup of elevated liver enzymes / transaminases is too difficult to explain in 400 words -- glad you're taking a proactive approach in any case.

Question 8

the results of my pmp22 dna sequencing came back negative, but there was nuclear fluorescence noted on anti-hu antibody screen. hu western blot results were negative. what do these results mean?

Accepted Answer

: It means you should never use abbreviations in medical communications. I have no idea what PMP22DNA sequencing means. Need to know why this was ordered in order to be able to help. Best to discuss with ordering Dr.

Question 9

what is fish?

Accepted Answer

Chromsome testing: Fish stands for fluorescent in situ hybridization.  It utilizes fluorescent dna probes to label specific parts of the chromosomes of cells to look for presence, absence or movement of dna sequences.  It is often used to evaluate cancer cells in combination with standard chromosome (cytogenetic) analyses.

Question 10

is it good to eat fish?

Accepted Answer

Frequency &amp; type?: Fish with very high potential mercury levels include: Shark, Swordfish, Marlin, King Mackerel, Big Eye &amp; AHI Tuna, Orange Roughy &amp; Tilefish. 
Limit intake of Yellow fin and White Albacore Tuna, Spanish &amp; Gulf Maceral, Group,  Bluefish &amp; Chilean Sea Bass.
For healthier mercury levels try: Crabs, Crawdaddies, Haddock, Flounder, Salmon, Shrimp, Oysters, Anchovies, Herring, Mullet, Sole, Freshwater &gt;
