Question 1

why is wilson's disease found?

Accepted Answer

Treatable killer: This may be the most treacherous of all diagnoses. 1 in ~60000 people have this defect in copper metabolism that may have no symptoms or look like something else until it ruins the liver and brain. It's picked up on lab testing and even these are fraught with pitfalls. Diagnosed, it's very easy to treat. I wish you luck and hope your workup is done well.

Question 2

i sometimes found it difficult to see at night.

Accepted Answer

Cataracts: Dear hummus10716, 

poor night vision can be a symptom of cataracts in older individuals, deficiency of vitamin a or zinc, or a condition called retinitis pigmentosa that occurs in people before the age of 30.

It is a good idea to see your eye specialist as soon as possible, as many causes of night vision loss are treatable.

Question 3

Children: diarrhea and ear infections along with colds

Question 4

Accepted Answer

BP: 107/78 is a good blood pressure.

Question 5

is oncoloogy a career that can be found in any city?

Accepted Answer

If you were in: a  small city without a hospital - it is possible that there might not be an oncologist in the vicinity. But, for the most part the answer is yes.

Question 6

why are artificial colors found in drinks bad for you?

Accepted Answer

Safe in small amount: Most are safe when consumed occasionally. However, as a general rule, consuming artificial products are more harmful than helpful and there are still issues which we haven't been able to identify with some of the chemicals we have deemed safe for consumption. Therefore it should be avoided when possible but safe in small quantities.

Question 7

i just found some deep holes on my bottom, why is this?

Accepted Answer

Words Ambiguous: Please go to the doctor for examination. The word 'holes' and the word 'bottom' can mean dozens of different things and are not in any way specific enough for any medical comment.

Question 8

what do you do if you found out your child cuts himself?

Accepted Answer

Professional help: "cutting" is an unhealthy coping mechanism for stress.  Psychologist or counselor can help your child develop healthy coping mechanism.

Question 9

what can be done if the antibacterial is found ineffective?

Accepted Answer

Change: Antibiotics are chosen empirically at the outset of therapy for a condition.  If they are not effective, cultures can guide the doctor to a more specific and effective choice.  Or, if ineffective empirically, the drug can be changed.

Question 10

please explain reasons why wilson's disease found in females?

Accepted Answer

Unrelated to sex: I'm going to assume you are talking about genuine wilson's hepatolenticular degeneration, not the fad "diagnose-it-yourself" wilson's syndrome. The atp7b gene is on chromosome 13, not a sex chromosome, and it's unrelated to being male or female.
