Question 1

can i have a bad reaction from taking luminal (phenobarbital)?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Luminal is a trade name for phenobarbital, an anepileptic drug with serious potential side effects, including  agitation, anxiety, ataxia, CNS excitation or depression, confusion, dizziness drowsiness, hallucinations, “hangover” effect, headache, hyperkinesia, impaired judgment, insomnia, lethargy, nervousness, nightmares, somnolence, and b/p increase.

Question 2

what is meant by a luminal (phenobarbital) type cancer/tumor?

Accepted Answer

Subtype of cancer: If you are talking about breast cancer-  a luminal (phenobarbital) cancer is a  subtype of breast cancer, the name "luminal (phenobarbital)" derives from similarity in expression between these tumors and the luminal (phenobarbital) epithelium of the breast.  These are the most common subtypes, make up the majority of er-positive breast cancer, and are characterized by expression of er, pr.

Question 3

what is meant by "luminal type" cancer or tumor?

Accepted Answer

Likely ductal.: Luminal (phenobarbital) anything, like luminal (phenobarbital) cells most likely refers to cells lining a duct, or tube in the body, called a lumen.  For example the inside of the gastrointestinal tract is its lumen, lined by epithelial cells.  These cells can become cancerous and so they are a luminal (phenobarbital) cancer.  Ductal carcinoma of the breast is a better example, as these are cancerous liminal cells of the breast lumen or duct.

Question 4

my mri found that i have several areas of mural thickening  and hyperenhancement  involving my distal ileum but its secondary to luminal underdistention, what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

Ileum: The ileum didn't expand. It appears there may be some chronic inflammation of the ileum such as occurs in regional enteritis or Crohn's disease. I recommend an evaluation by a gastroenterologist. I assume the study was ordered because of gi symptoms or abdominal discomfort.

Question 5

what does luminal underdistention of the distal ileum mean?

Accepted Answer

Problrm in ileum?: Underdistension of ileum ( 3rd part of small intestine)in the CT scan indicate possible disease in the ileum or beginning of large intestine which is the next part of gastrointestinal system following ileum. It could be inflammation, infection or malignancy. You will need a ileocolonoscopy and most likely a biopsy of the ileum.

Question 6

small caliber rca is seen originating from left coronary cusp with slight inter-arterial course. luminal stenosis is difficult to comment due to its small caliber? what can this tell about rca?

Accepted Answer

: This result means you are born with a non-dominant RCA so your heart are almost exclusively supplied by the left anterior descending artery and the circumflex artery. With this tiny RCA, any problem with this artery does not cause any significant myocardial ischemia or infarct.

Question 7

lad : eccentric calcified and non-cacified plaques causing 60-70% luminal stenosis is mired in proximal lad. eccentric calcified and non- cacified plaques causing 40-50% luminal stenosis is noted in proximal lcx. should i be worried ?

Accepted Answer

: These angiogram findings are abnormal but not life threatening. I wonder you had percutaneous coronary angiogram or CT angiogram done. If you have had chest pain or you were recently diagnosed of myocardial ischemia or infarction, you may need coronary revascularization. To answer your question, yes, you should concern about these abnormal findings and follow cardiologist's advice.

Question 8

the brachiocephalic artery, common carotid arteries, internal and external carotid arteries are patent. no stenosis is seen at the carotid bulbs. the vertebral arteries are patent without luminal irregularity or stenosis. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

: All these blood vessels of your head and neck are normal. congratulations!

Question 9

soft plaques at the proximal right coronary artery causing 30% luminal (phenobarbital) stenosis. what does thid mean?

Accepted Answer

Plaques: It means you have plaque in your coronary artery not obstructing flow a lot. It means aggressive diet, exercise, not smoking, BP control, lipid control, diabetes control all should be done to minimize progression of the plaque. Aspirin is also a good idea.

Question 10

what does diffuse dilatation of common bile duct & mild dilatation of hepatic ducts mean? maximal luminal (phenobarbital) diam. of common is 14-15mm. mri sched. liver

Accepted Answer

Dilated bile duct: The bile duct is the duct the drains bile out of the river and into the intestines. Dilated bile duct can be a sign of pancreatic, bile duct, liver,or gallbladder disease. It is an important sign, and it definitely needs to be evaluated until a cause is identified and taken care of. Do not hesitate to get the MRI and follow up with your doctor on the results. Good luck.
