Hi, I am 55 years old and have lost a couple of teeth because of cavities. Although, I do not have much problem in eating my meals but since I googled and did some research, I want to know if it is possible to get permanent fixed teeth back in the empty spaces. Also what would be the options & cost factors for them.

Hi , As per your query, it is very much possible to replace missing teeth permanently in any age these days. All that you need to have is the awareness for that and the require resources as well. To replace any missing tooth, the best option these days is a dental â€œImplantâ€. Implants have been into the existence for the last couple of decades but with the latest researches & developments specifically for them, their success rates have increased tremendously.

Anterior tibial vein could not be identified on colour Doppler. 3- Doppler imaging shows mid respiratory plasticity in CFV. There is very poor Response to distal augmentation in the CFV. 4- Great Saphenous vein is Patent. IMPRESSION- Deep vein thrombosis in lower limb involving External lliac vein, CFV,SFV & Popliteal vein, and possibly Anterior Tibial Veins. There is partial recanalisation of CFV & SFV. Posterior Tibial and Peroneal veins are patent. Suggested clinical correlation. Scan copy added to the medical record in the profole. that the above is the report of the radiologist now what medicine you prescribe ,how to take and when to review the report? .whether the same will be cure or the patient should be in medicine for life long,what are the immediate risk?

Hi, The Doppler examination shows a thrombus in the deep veins with partial recanalization. This suggests that the thrombus is of a chronic nature. The Doppler can be repeated after one month of treatment to see residual thrombus. We do not provide any prescription. For this you have to visit an internal medicine specialist. Feel free to ask more questions. ...

Dear doctors, I am a research scholar and working on signal transduction studies and regularly use several irritants and ion channel blockers.

After that I went to Japan as part of my research programme and one nurse given me creams with anti-fungal compounds and urea but the problem was enhanced and started the deep fisures on my soles. I came back to India and used homeopathy medicine for one weak and after that i visited a doctor. He suggested me to apply lemon juice trice daily and use vitamin C along with high doses of antifungal tablets and creams.

It is my contention that rheumatoid arthritis is either caused by a potassium deficiency or is greatly enabled by one (Potassium in the etiology of rheumatoid arthritis and heart infarction. 1974 Journal of Applied Nutrition. 26; p40. ) (Potassium deficiency as a cause of rheumatoid arthritis. 2000 Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients. 208; 74-76. ) ( http://charles_w.tripod.com/arthritis.html ). Dr. Reza Rastmanesh has performed a clinical trial that establishes this (Rastmanesh R. 2008 A pilot study of potassium supplementation in treatment of hypokalemic patients with rheumatoid arthritis: A randomized, double-blinded placebo controlled trial. The Journal of Pain. 9, issue 8; 722-731. ). Potassium should be automatically prescribed for rheumatoid arthritis because getting potassium up to normal from the low values in all RA patients (LaCelle PL et al 1964 An investigation of total body potassium in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Proceedings Ann. Meeting of the Rheumatism Association, Arthritis & Rheumatism 7; 321 ) (Sambrook PN, Ansell BM, Foster S, Gumpel JM, Hesp R, Reeve J, Zanelli JM 1985 Bone turnover in early rheumatoid arthritis. 1. Biochemical and kinetic indexes. Ann Rheum Dis. Sep;44(9):575-9. ) is slow, even with a high unprocessed vegetable diet. There are tasty foods that are especially rich in potassium ( http://www.rheumatoidarthritisprogram.com/potassium-and-ra/ ). However it is important that thiamin (vitamin B-1) be adequate when supplementing with potassium because heart disease can not materialize when both are deficient, but will show up if only one of those is deficient (http://charles_w.tripod.com/kandthiamin.html ). This is probably the primary reason why heart disease is a main cause of death in rheumatoid arthritis patients. In view of the fact that this is not considered by current rheumatologists, it would be very valuable for you to bring it into your future research. It is not only that potassium is not considered by physicians in regard to RA, most of them do not even believe that a potassium deficiency is likely. This even though many of them prescribe what are actually supplements, but prescribed under euphemistic terms such as salt substitutes, sodium free baking powder, ORT salts (oral rehydration therapy for diarrhea), polarizing solutions, GIK (glucose, insulin, potassium) salts, vegetables, or glucosamine. A deficiency is further defined out of existence by defining the blood serum content normal as 4.2 when the actual figure is 4.8.

My daughter is 13, she has complained of her legs hurting for several years, she has pin pointed it to calf pain, which he has now developed palpable lumps in both legs (calves). She has pain on a daily basis, no previous history of fractures, I was told muscle strains by our dr in the past, however chronic pain and now lumps. I'm thinking it is more than that. She takes pain relievers about 3-4 days a week now, pain wakes her up at night, pain is present without any physical activity. No redness, swelling, or trouble walking. She is an athlete. She has stated before her teammates have to stretch her and rub her legs so she can run. Can you please, please give me a direction where to research. She is going to the dr in 2 days. But what I'm reading is of course making me more concerned!

This can be related to stress pain in adolescent aged girls after physical activity. She should be consulted with nearby physician, and certain investigations like Serum CPK levels can be done. This can be transient myositis also, which is a self limiting condition. Tab. Igugesic can be given in case of pain. ...

Hi, I am 27 years old. I have been suffering from Knee pain in right leg since 2 months. When I bend me knee for 5-10 mins then it pains while straighten it. Specially it hurts when i go to toilet (indian style). After doing research on google I am thinking it is becoz of high uric acid, some one told me you have arthritis, some one told me it is due to low calcium. So please suggest me what is this. I am totally confused. What should I do now

Dear, I have gone through your problem. I think, unfortunately, you are being taken for a ride. Though high uric acid and low calcium can contribute to knee pain, they don't appear to be the cause for your problem. Your problem appears to be due to something called 'chondromalacia patella'. This is a condition where the cartilage of your knee cap becomes soft and weak. Happens with excessive climbing stairs and squatting in the Indian toilet. Try avoiding stairs and using the western commode. Al ...
