question:my brother had a kidney removed and in the middle of the surgery he threw a clot and went into cardiac arrest. They massaged the heart for 1.5 hours before they put him on bypass. Is it possible to have any brain function other than breathing and blinking after this? My brother is 62 years old
answer:Hello,It depends on how long was his brain without oxygen. If it is longer than 7 minutes then there are little chances that he will be conscious again, but if resuscitation was effective and brain was without oxygen less than 7 minutes, then he has chances to be back. Even in case of long resuscitation there might be chances. But it can tell you only his doctor who has all his data.Take careCome back of you have any further questions

question:Hello Sir , I am 32 years old 5ft11 and weigh 90 kg.I am gyming from quite some time(5 Day s a Week ) and my instructor has suggested me to take Evion,Celin,B complex & Maxepa tablets Daily One Tab. Aslo Suggested to Eat 7 Eggs in a Day. Is it safe to use them on daily basis? and is these any Side Effect of Eating 7/8 Eggs in a Day ? Regards, NS
answer:Hi,Evion, Celin, B complex and Maxepa tablets, daily one can be taken. Being vitamin supplements, they do not cause any adverse effects. Raw eggs all have the same benefits as cooked eggs. However, protein absorption is lower from raw eggs, and the uptake of biotin may be prevented. Most concerning is the small risk of raw eggs contaminated with bacteria leading to Salmonella infection. Buying pasteurized eggs will lower your risk of infection. Raw or cooked eggs can be consumed. In case of more than 3 eggs, boiled egg white can be consumed.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

question:It s getting darker and looks as if it could be getting bigger.There are no bumps. What could this be? Been going on for over a month- new meds taken Lipitor-20mg AND Nucynta er 100mg. I have NEVER had this before, only now- Need to know if theses meds might be the culprit(s)
answer:Hi, I assume you are talking about generalized skin darkening after initiating these medicines. Generally speaking, these medicines are not known to cause the side effects of skin pigmentation but if one is allergic to any of the component of these medicines (Lipitor & Nucynta) then it may be the result of allergy or reaction or a case of rare side effect. However, there may be other causes of skin darkening or pigmentation independent of these medicines which may need to be evaluated by a doctor after physical examination. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Mohammed Eftekhar, General & Family Physician
question:hi, i have been aking androcur for 19 days. but i think it has delayed my periods. i went to see my gynec, n he prescribed primolut, which i have taken for 7 days, twice a day. its been 3 days since i ve stopped primolut, but still no periods, though i m having some cramps. what could be the reason? thank you
answer:Hi, Any hormone containing medicine or medicine that affects hormone secretion/function can affect the menstrual period - it may delay it or cause irregularities. Androcur contains Cyproterone which is an antiandrogen (affecting the secretion of hormones) and therefore may delay the period. On the other hand, Primolut is a synthetic progestin and functions as female hormone progesterone and is used to treat disorders related to menstruation and abnormal vaginal bleeding which may be due to hormonal imbalance in the body. If there is delay in period than expected then one may wait for up to a week and later can go for urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy. Continuing with the doctor's prescription and advice would be important.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

question:i was told i had bulky ovaries on my last ct scan report. my doctor had asked me to take asmita tablets and chrominac a tablets ,, i tuk those for one month and presently stoped since i was feeling some sort of irritation in my vaginal region...wat shud i do?? shud i continue with the tablets...plz help mam...
answer:Hi,Asmita Tablet is an anticoagulant and is used to help reduce the formation of blood clots. As it is a blood thinner, it works by preventing the formation of blood clots in arteries or veins, thus reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, or other serious conditions. Chrominac A is a mineral supplement and it can cause Itching, headache, weakness, gastro-intestinal disorders, nausea, vomiting, constipation, loss of appetite, dry mouth, muscle or bone pain. Vaginal irritation has not been reported with these drugs.Hence watch for any vaginal irritation after stopping the drug.If symptoms are relieved,other drugs can be prescribed instead of Asmita and Chrominac.Hope I have answered your query.
