Gout Treatment: Adenuric tablets are used for the long term treatment and prevention of gout, but not for immediate treatment of gout flare-ups. Other medicines are used for the rapid relief of gout symptoms (colchicine). Be sure to follow a low-purine diet as well as taking this medication to keep the gout away!

Question 5

results for oct : od rpe irreg.,., small ped's ; os  rpe irreg., small ped's what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

OCT Interpretation: Reading a report is sometimes like interpreting a foreign language for a patient.  OCT = Ocular Coherence Tomography; RPE = Retinal Pigment Epithelium; OD = Right; OS = Left; PED = Pigment Epithelial Detachment.  This patient could have mild age-related macular degeneration changes or something else.  This DOES NOT mean that you will go blind.  Discuss with your eye doctor.

Question 6

what os causing my tmj to hurt after chewing food?

Accepted Answer

Exam Necessary: You really need to see your dentist for a full exam; the TMJ is a complex joint and there are many factors that can cause this.  One common factor is called "nocturnal bruxism".  This is a phenomenon where a patient grinds their teeth at night, they may not even know they do.  It places pathological stresses on the TMJ and that discomfort can be exacerbated by heavy chewing.  Stop chewing gum too!

Question 7

is os tightening required after a premature delivery, y is so?

Accepted Answer

Incompetent cervix: There are women who lose pregnancies when a  weak cervix allows the fetus & support structures to "fall out"mid pregnancy. If this occurs multiple times, one treatment that can strengthen the cervical os is a "circlage" , basically a temporary band like structure that is placed by the OB  during pregnancy to be removed when delivery time approaches. Close OB followup is important.

Question 8

how bad is my astigmatism? o.d. -.5/+1.25/+175.   o.s. -.5/+1.75/+172

Accepted Answer

Good/Bad in the eye: of the beholder. Astigmatism simply means the focusing of the eye is not equal all angles around the central line of sight; more curvature one way than 90 degrees around. The +1.25 &amp; +1.75 values in the ophthalmologist's Rx for correction is the astigmatism correction in diopters (1 = the curvature needed to focus parallel light rays to a point 1 meter away). Values &gt;3-4 diopters=fairly high.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Placenta: It
Means that the placenta ends 2cm from the cervical opening.most likely it will migrate upward as the pregnancy continues.

Question 10

can high level of bilirubin like 8 damage organ if it os present for a long time. time like 2 months ?

Accepted Answer

No: Usually the underlying cause of high bilirubin is the main concern. I don't know of any complication from the bilirubin itself, but there is usually other problems from the condition which is causing the high level. Good luck to the person who has this.
