Surgical treatment of tricuspid valve atresia?

---

I read about the sequence of surgeries: first the Blalock-Taussig shunt, then the Glenn operation, and then finally the Fontan procedure. Why is this sequence used? Why isn't the Glenn operation and the Fontan procedure done at the same time, and the Blalock-Taussig shunt skipped entirely? Thanks.
I have Tricuspid Atresia, but my surgical treatment was different. I had the Glenn procedure at six months; the Modified Blalock-Taussig at 10 years; and the Fontan at 21. But I was born in 1966, and they were using a different form of the Glenn back then. Today it is known as a "Bidirectional Glenn Shunt", and sends blood to both lungs. My Glenn only goes to the right lung -- according to my Cardiologist, they changed the way the operation was performed in the mid 1980's.

A "by-the-book" Modified Blalock-Taussig dictates the use of a Gortex tube to create the shunt, but surgeons like to keep things as simple as possible. The less time the patient is out; and the fewer times that he/she needs to be operated on, the better. So if it is possible to use existing blood vessels to create the shunt, the surgeon will do it.

The sequence of operations is dictated by what various medical tests show the doctors is the best route to take. And after the first operation, of course, the patient has a completely different anatomy. That also dictates what will happen next.  (+ info)

how much does it cost to go for gastro-intestinal treatment in India?

---

I am from Bangladesh.I have some seroius gastro-intestinal problems.I want to go to India for better treatment.How much it will cost including transport fee,cabin rent,doctor's fee,medical tests and surgery[if needed]?
Please help me.
Have you considered medical treatment and surgical help for this in India? My cousin got her surgery from a company called Forerunners Healthcare in India.
She just paid 25% of the amount she was quoted in USA.

Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines. I have read a lot of their patient stories also. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as all types of medical treatment and surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that your medical treatment and surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

Do adults need medication prevention on intestinal parasites?

---

i remember when i was a kid, my mom will feed me the Zentel (treatment for intestinal parasites). i stop taking it after 12, i guess. how do i know if i need it now? or do adults already immune to this kind of infection?
Depending on where you live and your drinking water and food sorces ther e is little to worry about getting internal parasites that are harmful, unless your living in an undeveloped nation, drinking from rivers/lakes dircetly or eating poor quality food. At least in the US with the exception of those drinking untreated water when camping the risk is pretty low. Also while certainly not immune an adult if it were to contract a GI tract parasite is likely to be better able to handle the parasite untill medical help can be found or the parisite is discovered. My guess is with kid being dirty your mother was probably trying to be proactive in keeping her kids healthy, you know kids especially young ones put everything from the dogs chew toy to dirt in their mouths a good way to get a GI tract parasite.  (+ info)

Has anyone out there started getting stomach aches or had intestinal problems while taking clomid?

---

I took my first round last month and have just finished my second round. I'm not sure if the intestinal symptoms that started last month are linked with the clomid or not. Any similar experiences?
I haven't taken it or experienced these problems but I have looked into taking Clomid and saw that a possible side effect is swelling in your intestines. Have you noticed swelling or is your abdomen sore to the touch? If so, call the doctor immediately as this can be a very serious side effect.
Good Luck!  (+ info)

What types of intestinal diseases are associated with nodular mucosa in the ileum?

---

I just got my results back from a colonoscopy and that is what the gastroenterologist found. I've been suffering from unexplained chronic diarrhea (sorry if it's too much info) and edema for 4 years. Advice from anybody from the medical profession would be much appreciated.
Nodular mucosa of the ileum could indicate Crohn's disease. Classically this disease presents with a 'cobblestone' appearance of the mucosa, especially in the ileum. Do a quick search on Wiki and it will tell you all you may ever want to know about Crohn's disease. Good luck!  (+ info)

What causes an imbalance of intestinal bacteria?

---

A recent news story is about a study showing weight gain, high blood pressure, etc. may be related to an intestinal bacteria problem.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/time/20100305/hl_time/08599196980700

Could food additives and preservatives be related to this problem?
If you are a healthy person that has never been vaccinated, taken any antibiotics, drank chlorinated water, taken birth control pills, eaten processed foods, were breast fed for the suggested 2 years from birth, avoided all fluoridated products and fluoride in general, you most likely have about 3 pounds of intestinal flora that is 3/4 of your immune system and one of the big reasons you are so healthy.

By "imbalance of intestinal bacteria," I am assuming you mean the ratio of bad bacteria to good bacteria. Plant eating animals do NOT make hydrochloric acid and rely heavily on probiotic bacteria in their gut to digest the plant foods. If they are fed GRAINS, they get sick and produce bad meats and bad milks, die early deaths and this is the status quo in America today with livestock herded into those feed lots where lots of human pathogens are generated. Cows are fermentation vats and to feed them grain is stupid. Grass fed animals live 4 times longer for good reason.

Humans have probiotic bacteria in their intestines to help digest plant foods. Humans also have lots of hydrochloric acid to digest meat, sanitize the food in the stomach, and lower the pH of the food in the stomach to allow proper digestion of minerals and vitamins. Most food additives are genetically modified and have caused huge problems for people.

About twenty five farmers recently met in Iowa, who have identified that feeding certain genetically modified corn varieties to their animals has caused their animals to have reproductive problems, primarily with pigs unable to get pregnant. Either they were giving birth to bags of water or had false pregnancies. They look like they're pregnant, but then all of a sudden they weren't pregnant. Cows gave birth to twenty times the amount of twins. At least one farm and others had trouble reproducing. So we're in a situation where we are rolling the dice on the DNA. The DNA makes changes in the physiology of the plants that we eat, that are not being studied. The genes transfer to gut bacteria and likely to internal organs, which could make changes in the DNA there, which are not being studied because our illustrious FDA has declared these Franken-foods as SAFE, so NO testing is required or is being done.

The way genetically modified foods are made requires antibiotic RESISTANT genes be used to create the garbage. Why do you think antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria are getting such a foothold? When the gut bacteria is altered by the DNA exchange that is happening from genetically modified foods, who really knows what the results will be. NO TESTING IS BEING DONE ON THIS in America. Aspartame is a genetically modified artificial sweetener, has 92 side effects, and the FDA is promoting it as SAFE. Isn't it interesting that the head of the FDA is an ex-monsanto executive and over 50% of the FDA employees are ex-monsanto employees? Monsanto is the largest maker of GMO products in the world. Watch the film called: "The Future of Food" video and read Jefferey Smith's book called "Seeds of Deception" for more information on all this.

good luck to you  (+ info)

How long does an intestinal bacterial infection last?

I started throwing up Thursday night until Friday afternoon. I got some nausea meds to keep it down and since then I've been getting better. But exaclty how long does the infection last?
Usually a few days. Depends on which bacteria is making you sick.  (+ info)

What food are good to eliminate intestinal worms and parasites?

---

It would be a good thing to know. I also want to know what NOT to eat so they don't invade the intestines and other organs.
Eliminate... no. There is no sure way to eliminate them naturally. However, diets high in Pepper (Hot varieties only) make living in intestines uncomfortable. Next, try a high fiber diet. In essence, make the food nasty tasting to them and use the fiber to scrape them out.

Elimination is best by medication. Go to a doctor.  (+ info)
