A member asked:

What is superior mediastinal fullness means?is it bad?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: If this is something reported on a chest x ray, it needs to be followed by a ct scan of the chest. Most often it is just a projection artifact (ie nothing significant), but it can be due to an aortic aneurysm, an enlarged thyroid, or a tumor.

A member asked:

I had a full blood panel done and wondering if someone can explain. This is for creatinine. In 2014 it was 0.94, in 2017 it was 0.77. In 2020 it was 1.01, and now its 1.10 (in standard range) what could this mean? Is this cause for concern?
