Question 1

what is the definition or description of: ovulation prediction?

Accepted Answer

Predict fertile days: An ovulation predictor kit (opk) test detects lh hormone in your urine which is a signal you're going to ovulate (release an egg) in the next 24 - 36 hours. If you have regular periods, test between 10 am and noon, starting on day 10 of your cycle. The day of a positive test and the next 2 days are your most fertile days. With irregular periods you're not ovulating regularly: see a rei md for help.

Question 2

what is the definition of shock?

Accepted Answer

Supply & demand: Shock occurs when blood flow isn't enough to meet the body's energy needs. Usually, the blood pressure and/or output of the heart is low-the tissues of the body don't get enough oxygen due to inadequate blood flow/perfusion. Sometimes, if the energy requirements of the body are high (hypermetabolic), then seemingly normal supply just isn't enough to meet the demand.

Accepted Answer

What disease?: Sorry but the doctors here are not psychics and thus none of us know what disease you are talking about.

Most diseases have a variable prognosis based on multiple factors.

Question 8

how should i interpret "prognosis information"?

Accepted Answer

Source is important: Information from search engines is "unfiltered" and can be devastating if misinterpreted. Only people quite familiar with all aspects of your disease can accurately give you initial prognostic information. However, once you know the details (exact disease type, stage, special studies like markers or chromosome analysis) you can use this to help evaluate information on the web from reliable sites.

Question 9

i suffer from polymoysitis what is my prognosis?

Accepted Answer

Polymyositis: Well, there should be more explanation to it. There is dermatomyositis, which frequently is associated with malignancy and this needs to be ruled out. There is polymyalgia rheumatica, which is an inflammatory condition that is treated with steroids. Polymyositis is more of a general term but there should be a cause involved and found and prognosis will be based on it.
