My friend asked me if she uses nail polish, if she could infect her other toe/finger nails. Also she wanted to know if she would infect her mom if she borrowed her nail polishes.

I have no clue.

A very good friend of mine , after tests, was told that she may have heart problems. She is to see a heart specialist next week. Her Doctor informed her that her heart was beating slower than normal and that it occassionly missed beats. How serious is this? What are the treatments? My thoughts and prayers are with her.

I have had swelling in my lower legs, ankles, feet and toes along with my hands and fingers since March of this year. I have gone to my family doctor and he never really said what kind of edema I have. He put me on Lasix 10 mg's to take once every other day. I've been doing that for months and increasing my water intake too. So far those areas I mentioned above are still swelled. Not only am I swelled and uncomfortable, but the skin is a light red and shining. I elevate my legs often thru the day, but nothing else helps. I will be going back to my doctor at the end of this month. At first it appeared to be pitting edema, but now it isn't. Any help from anywhere would be appreciative. Thank you.

Colonoscopy cuts out growths of a certain size within your colon. Supposedly, those larger ones are most susceptible of becoming cancerous. Makes good sense. However, would cutting such growths cause an in situ cancer (benign) to spread. I read that when you do biopsy of breast or prostate tissue, one can actually cause a benign cancer to spread and become dangerous. Why would it not work the same for the colon?

In your answer please mention your field of expertise and reference supporting your opinion. These will be considered when selecting the best answer.
