artery aneurysm
Coronary artery disease involves buildup of fatty deposits or plaque on the interior of the coronary arteries. As a person ages, these deposits may thicken and cause the arteries to narrow, reducing the amount of blood that can flow through the arteries to the heart. Patients may suffer a heart attack if the artery is completely blocked or if a blood clot forms inside the narrowed coronary artery. Coronary artery disease affects nearly 13 million Americans and is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States.
There are a number of approaches to coronary artery disease treatment. The initial line of treatment is often to modify the behaviors and conditions that increase the risks for coronary artery disease: smoking, poor dietary habits, lack of exercise, elevated blood glucose levels and elevated blood pressure. Depending on age, health and medical history of patient, physicians may recommend a number of other disease treatment options: Medications to prevent the buildup of additional plaque, to thin the blood, to reduce cholesterol levels in the artery, and to lower blood pressure. Catheter-based treatments like coronary angioplasty, where a small balloon is inflated inside the artery to compress the plaque and increase blood flow. A variety of stents may be deployed to ensure the artery remains open. Physicians may also recommend an atherectomy, another catheter-based procedure where the blocked area inside the artery is cut away. Surgery to bypass the blocked artery (coronary artery bypass graft surgery, or CABG surgery), to strip the inner walls of the coronary arteries of the fatty deposits (coronary endarterectomy), and to create new channels or vessels within the heart where blood can flow freely (transmyocardial revascularization).
Cancer Cure
The modern era of cancer treatment is constantly evolving, with new breakthroughs and discoveries changing the course of care at a rapid clip. Deciding which combination of treatments is right for you is critical. It can also be overwhelming. That’s why it is important to turn to doctors who treat every stage of cancer.
Our team of oncologists includes board-certified specialists with advanced training and expertise in many cancers—including breast, lung, prostate, colorectal, melanoma, throat, cervical, ovarian, pancreatic, lymphomas and more—as well as the wide array of treatment options available to fight them. These medical specialists are just some of the experts delivering comprehensive care at R&D Laboratories®.
Each patient’s care team is assembled according to that patient’s needs. Some members of the care team, like the medical or radiation oncologist, are dedicated to treating the cancer. Others, such as the dietitian or the pain management physician, help the patient manage the side effects of cancer, to reduce the risk of treatment delays and improve quality of life.
Get Free consulation from our special surgeon and doctors about Tuberculosis
Transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis [TB]) is a recognized risk to patients and healthcare personnel in healthcare settings. Transmission is most likely to occur from patients who have unrecognized pulmonary or larynx-related TB, are not on effective anti-TB therapy, and have not been placed in TB isolation. Transmission of M. tuberculosis in healthcare settings has been associated with close contact with persons who have infectious TB, particularly during the performance of cough-inducing procedures such as bronchoscopy and sputum induction. TB can spread through the air and can travel long distances. Cases of multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB, which includes extensively drug-resistant TB [XDR-TB]), have been recognized and are more difficult to treat..
The overall goals for treatment of tuberculosis are 1) to cure the individual patient, and 2) to minimize the transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to other persons. Thus, at R&D lab successful treatment of tuberculosis is available and has benefits both for the individual patient and the community in which the patient resides.
