Accepted Answer

A type of dementia: Pick's disease is a type of dementia in which the frontal and temporal lobes shrink.  Disrupts behavior & language. No treatment has been shown to slow disease progression. Behavior modification & antidepressants can help control unacceptable behaviors. If your memory is good and you haven't noticed changes in impulsivity or social insight, you have little to worry about.

Question 2

one of my relatives got strep and presumably is being treated for it now. i was planning on visiting and staying with them for a couple days this memorial weekend. should i cancel my trip or will it be ok to see them? don't want strep?

Accepted Answer

: In general, 24 hours after starting treatment for strep renders the person safe from transmitting it to others in a casual setting. I would not alter trip plans for this reason.

Question 6

Question 7

i was told friday week of memorial day that i was 2 weeks pregant , july 02 ultrasound said i am 9 weeks and 2 days  what day i comcived ? n april?

Accepted Answer

LMP date ?: Without your LMP date it is difficult to determine exactly when you conceived. Keep in mind that MD's base your pregnancy duration on the LMP and the first 2 weeks of that period doesn't have a ovulation and therefore it is an approximation.

Question 8

healthy 37 year old woman came down with covid-19, she has been at arlington memorial. they induced a coma and are now taking her off life support. what can we do to save her life!?

Accepted Answer

: The physicians treating this woman have done their very best to help her recover, but it appears that they have run out of options. The human body can only take so much, and COVID affects everyone differently, even healthy people. Vaccines are available to help prevent these sort of unnecessary deaths.

Question 9

can major depression cause memorie loss?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Major depression can precipitate a cognitive dysfunction that can be quite severe.  In fact, in more severe cases of depression the term pseudodementia has been coined to describe this phenomenon.  You would benefit from evaluation by a physician if you struggle with memory loss to evaluate all possible causes and implement appropriate treatment as indicated.  I wish you the best!

Question 10

i have itching part of labia minoria, what can i do for relief?

Accepted Answer

Yeast Infection?: One of the more common causes of labial itching is a yeast infection.  It makes the area raw, swollen and red.  It can also create cracks in the skin that are painful.  You can treat it with yeast cream or an oral medication called Fluconazole.  If you want to know for sure that is what it is, see your doctor.  There are other possiblilities.  Best wishes!
