peterparker Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 (edited) tnx. what are the external physical signs of brain hemorrhage if person has less than 10,000 platelets? does petrechia occurs first before brain hemorrhage? less than 10,000 platelet count is extremely dangerous for a patient, and it presdisposes one to a variety of conditions detrimental to one`s health... one of these nga is brain hemorrhage or cerebrovascular accident... Petechiae may be a sign of thrombocytopenia (low platelet count), in circumstances when platelet function is inhibited (e.g., as a side effect of medications or during certain infections), or in clotting factor deficiencies. They may also occur when excessive pressure is applied to tissue.. Sudden-onset face weakness, arm drift, and abnormal speech are the findings most likely to lead to the correct identification of a case of stroke. Similarly, when all three of these are absent, the likelihood of stroke is significantly decreased. While these findings are not perfect for diagnosing stroke, the fact that they can be evaluated relatively rapidly and easily make them very useful in the acute setting. Proposed systems include FAST (face, arm and speech, time), the Los Angeles Prehospital Stroke Screen (LAPSS) and the Cincinnati Prehospital Stroke Scale (CPSS). Use of these scales is recommended by professional guidelines. For people referred to the emergency room, early recognition of stroke is deemed important as this can expedite diagnostic tests and treatments. A scoring system called ROSIER (recognition of stroke in the emergency room) is recommended for this purpose; it is based on features from the medical history and physical examination. :mtc: Edited April 14, 2009 by peterparker Quote Link to comment

peterparker Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 i am taking of my mom who has tb. what measures could i do to avoid being infected? TB is spread through the air from one person to another. The bacteria are put into the air when a person with active TB disease of the lungs or throat coughs, sneezes, speaks, or sings. People nearby may breathe in these bacteria and become infected. So you must be extra careful when you are around TB patients, you can wear a surgical or face mask for added protection... :mtc: Quote Link to comment

biromn Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Sirs I am hoping to get back to active sport so I can get back into shape. But a persistent "pilay" keeps hindering me. It strikes when I put too much pressure on it. Standard walking is a little painful but i got used to it. but basically when I exert it feels like my knees are buckling. and it aches all the way up to my right buttock. Hilot works albeit temporarily. i tried a chiropractor but same thing. My friend says I need to go to the chiropractor more times till it gets fixed. Oh yeah as history I had upper leg break before got it supported by a titanium something they removed it after a couple of years. but did not bother me aside from taking away some range of motion from my hips. problem was year 2002 I was moving heavy cartons and was wearing cheap nike knock offs. what i did not know was the sole was worn out. I slipped with the load on. AND OUCH. I was not put out of commision but from there it kept getting worse till the way it is now. Quote Link to comment

I was not put out of commision but from there it kept getting worse till the way it is now. how old are you na bro..? from what you have described in your medical history plus the symptoms you are experiencing, i`m inclined to say that you are probably suffering from secondary osteoarthritis, particularly in the knee area... i believe that the trauma you suffered when you slipped while carrying heavy cartons might have caused damage to your knees, and the process of degenerative arthritis started and persists to this day... i suggest that you should consult an orthopedic surgeon for a thorough examination of your knees and hips, including other possible affected areas... ancillary procedures will include x-rays, other tests consists of MRI, arthroscopy and arthrocentesis... with or without additional tests, diagnosis can be made by a careful study of the duration, location, the character of the joint symptoms, and the appearance of the joints themselves... :mtc: Quote Link to comment

zenislev Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Hello Doctors, I had my checkup with my clinic yesterday and I included urine test since Im having a clear discharge and white discharge (yesterday morning), the result showed pus cell 6-8 and RBC 0-3. the doctor said it could be UTI so they prescribed a medicine however, right now Im feeling some pain in my lower back though not intense and it does not always hurt and my bladder hurts when I apply pressure on them. also I have a slight fever 37.3c and slight chills.. I also feel weak. Am I having kidney infection na? the medicine they gave me was ciprofloxacin 500mg, twice a day to take every morning and evening. Quote Link to comment

johnnies Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Depends on your locality. What particular concern do you have? genital warts, not really sure if it is one though, it doesn't really look like a cauliflower.It's just a very small flesh colored single hard lump of skin(as small as the end of a tooth pick) Quote Link to comment
