Medicine - October 2007

“angiographically significant” coronary stenosis is considered to be present when the diameter is reduced by more than 50%, corresponding to a reduction in cross-sectional area greater than 75%.
I really don't understand this statement...and by he way how do you test for ventricular ejection fraction?

I have to get an MRI scan tomorrow, can anyone tell me what they're like? Does it hurt? How long does it take? Will I have to stay in the hospital overnight? Are there any side effects? Anything else would also be appreciated.

Im currently under viral treatment consisting of ribavivarin and interferon,this has stripped some of the red blood cells out of my system,red blood cell production has gone up( to compensate i assume),but recent a check of iron levels shows elevated ferritin(almost doubled)while iron levels stay normal ...is this a result of the body cycling up for increased red blood cell production?

tell me how it's going for you. I only came across the TV ad about SPIRIVA couple of days ago, and main thing I noticed was the absence of "side effects" announced. It amazed me since most medications nowadays take a whole commercial's time to tell users about the many side effects.

Someone in my family has been using CONBIVENT, FLOVENT, and regular AEROSOL PUMP for few years now for emphysema. She also suffers from CHF and high blood pressure.

I have not talked to her doctor yet about whether Spiriva would be good for her, so I need as much information as I can before asking him. Thank you.

So, I'm a high school senior and it's crunch time now with all the college major decisions. I've always wanted to be a doctor...speacialist actually (anesthesiologist) However, I never really had an A in CHemistry and although, I'm ok at science...Science isn't my passion...I do want to be an anesthesiologist though. I also hear only 10% of premed students make it into Med School anyway which tends to discourage me. I'm not so excited with the idea of having to choose a different major ,but I guess I might have to think about that. Any advice.

My friend took 10 of them, and I think she should go to the ER to make sure she's ok. But she says she's fine, so I was wondering how much of it is lethal or how much of it does someone have to take to be harmed? I'm just worried about her

I was in hospital once and given 'Cyclizine' for nausea. It made me what I can only describe as "hyper-aroused". For example, when somebody came around the corner to see me, it was like having an electric current put through my body! A real startled feeling. I also have it with Prochloperazine (Stemetil™), and the anti-depressant Mirtazapine (Remeron™) which I have recently been prescribed. I'd like to know what is causing this? I only get it with medications that have anti-histamine properties though. It's getting to the point now that somebody has only got to call my name from behind me, and I jump out of the chair as an involuntary reaction.
