ldquo;Insulin resistance” is a deceptively simple sounding term. At the most basic level, the term describes a condition in which a person does not respond to insulin as well as a healthy person is expected to do.

Blacklist is a misleading term, which came about when credit bureaux only kept negative information. In the 1980’s, following international trends, credit grantors are now encouraged to also share positive information about their customers, as this facilitates access to credit. The perception that Credit Bureaux only keep negative data is there for not true. For example, about 85% of the information held on Credit Bureaux is positive information and only 15% is negative.

Pituitary adenomas are benign tumors which arise from the pituitary gland itself. They are almost never malignant. Pituitary tumors can be either secretory or non-secretory, referring to whether they overproduce pituitary hormones. Secretory tumors cause disease because of the excess quantities of hormones which they secrete (release) into the bloodstream. The most common type of secretory pituitary tumor is termed a prolactinoma.

That is always an anxiety-provoking message. Frequently it just means that there is an area that may be abnormal, or may not, and they simply want to repeat the study with a slightly different method (that magnifies the area, for example). Sometimes there may have been a technical problem with the study. Sometimes we see "superimposition of shadows" which just means that it relates to how the breast was compressed in the mammogram unit.

There is no such thing as borderline diabetes. You either have it or you don't. Diabetes is diagnosed with a blood test: A fasting blood glucose or sugar test measures the sugar in your blood when you have not had anything to eat or drink in the last 8 hours. If it has been several years since you last had your blood sugar checked, you should visit your doctor and have it checked again. It is recommended that everybody have their blood sugar checked by age 45 and every three years after that.

A smear showing slight changes does NOT mean you have cancer. It simply means that your smear picked up some cells from your cervix that looked slightly abnormal. A smear that shows slight changes is sometimes referred to as an “abnormal smear” or “pre-cancerous changes”. Slight changes are sometimes also referred to as Borderline, or Mild.

Now, the more pressing issue. Are you familiar with the RTFM program? It is a great tool for learning how to use Linux. Here is all you have to do: Josh is being a bit droll, though his method, of linking rtfm to man is one of the cleverer ideas I've heard. RTFM stands for Read The Fine Manual. (Other people believe that rather than the word, "Fine" it refers to another common, albeit vulgar, English adjective beginning with F. The reader can choose for themselves.

ABI stands for ankle brachial index and compares the blood pressure measured at the ankle to the pressure measured at the brachial artery, which is located in the arm. Diabetes can cause the artery wall to become calcified or hard and the blood pressure cuff cannot compress the artery to get an accurate pressure. As an illustration, think of water flowing through a garden hose and a pipe in your home - you can bend the hose but not the pipe.

Homocysteine is an amino acid. It is normally found in the body and is used to make protein. It is thought that too much homocysteine contributes to plaque build up and blood clot formation. High levels of homocysteine have been linked to increased risk for PAD and for damage to blood vessels in the heart and brain. Taking folic acid may reduce homocysteine levels, but it is not known whether folic acid prevents vascular diseases. Clinical trials are currently underway.

That means we have not detected any cancer in the lump. Although FNA is a useful diagnostic procedure, like other medical tests, it is not perfect. Because such a small sample is taken from a lump (which is the reason FNAs are relatively painless), it is possible that the cells we collect do not represent the entire lump. Studies have shown that the chances of failing to find a cancer when one is present are between one-in-a-hundred and one-in-twenty.

After interview, we make offers to those people who score highly and review the number of offers at regular intervals throughout the cycle. Those candidates with low interview scores are rejected.

Placenta praevia is the term for when the placenta covers the cervix partially or entirely. It's usually diagnosed in your second trimester during an ultrasound, or as a result of spotting or bleeding. Many cases of placenta praevia correct themselves; as the uterus grows, it naturally pulls the placenta away from the cervix.
