Question 1

how much time is the terminal ileum?

Accepted Answer

Vannot tell: Your question is not clear. The last part of the small intestine is called the terminal ileum.

Question 2

explain bechett disease is it terminal?

Accepted Answer

Rarely: Behçet’s disease is likely a vasculitis problem that results in ulcers, typically in or around mucous membranes (like the mouth).  Prognosis has greatly improved in the last decade or two with more severe disease in those with eye symptoms and most severe in those with central nervous system symptoms.

Question 3

what diseases are considered as terminal?

Accepted Answer

Different: Cancers that are deemed advanced and no longer treatable, advanced heart failure, respiratory failure, liver failure, advanced dementia and any combination of them to name few of the most common.

Question 4

what does this mean: terminal ileum normal?

Accepted Answer

Normal intestine: The ileum is the last part of the small intestine (after duodenum and jejunum). Terminal means last part.  So, the ending of the ileum (and the ending of the small intestine) is the terminal ileum.  Thus, the phrase you refer to means the end of the small intestine was normal.

Question 5

do terminal illnesses always result in death?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately: I think the question is if a terminal illness always constitutes the immediate cause for death, or some other condition or a complication may actually cause the death. The answer would be yes, meaning that for example in a patient with terminal lung cancer the immediate cause of death may be anywhere from a heart attack to lung clots or infections. Otherwise life always results in death.

Question 6

what are some common diseases that are terminal?

Accepted Answer

Most can be: Common diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension (high blood pressure) all can be terminal without proper care, management, and close follow-up. In some cases other more classically terminal diseases can be considered 'chronic' with lifelong active treatments.

Question 7

might a person still function normally with terminal mightcer?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Terminal cancer might be diagnosed early and depending on type of cancer, functional status, palliative interventions (to maximize quality of life) some people might be able to function 'normally' longer than others.  Both the cancer and the treatments however will impact ability to function as time goes on. Ask for palliative care help early.

Question 8

what can i do about a long terminal diagnosis? how can i cope?

Accepted Answer

Coping: I am sorry to hear you are suffering and have a long term diagnosis.. You should seek out a counselor you feel comfortable with, and ask at hospitals and clinics if there are support groups with members going through same illness. Having good friends to lean on also helps and not isolating yourself - staying busy to the extent you can in social settings. Good luck.

Question 9

what are the most common terminal diseases that affect children?

Accepted Answer

Congenital & cancer: Terminal conditions in children are typically based on age range and best considered as 'causes of death'
infants (less than 1 year old): congenital disorders, sids, premature birth

children (1-14 years old): unintentional injuries, then cancers, cardiac abnormalities, and finally congenital disorders.

Question 10

what can you do about a long "terminal" diagnosis? how can you cope?

Accepted Answer

Delicate: There is no perfect way of dealing with imminent death. Stick with your loved ones, do all the things that you wanted to do, if possible. Make sure that your symptoms are promptly addressed. Do not give up to fear.
