Can you help me understand my post-radioiodine whole body scan results after surgery for papillary carcinoma I'm a bit worried about what the findings might mean
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A post-radioiodine (RAI) whole body scan is used after surgery for papillary thyroid cancer to assess for any remaining thyroid tissue or cancer cells that may not be completely removed during surgery. The scan uses a small dose of radioactive iodine to detect these cells, and the results help determine the need for further RAI treatment

I've been really concerned about my mom's health. She's been dealing with diabetes for the past 10 years, and I'm trying to figure out if it's safe for her to take the Kudos IME 9 capsule. Can you let me know if it's okay for her or if there are certain things we should be careful about?
Kudos IME 9 capsule is a supplement that can be beneficial for individuals with diabetes. It contains a combination of natural ingredients like Karela, Jamun, and Methi which can help in managing blood sugar levels.

The usual dosage is 1 capsule twice a day before meals. It is always advisable to consult with her doctor before starting any new supplement to ensure it is safe and appropriate for her condition.

My dad is 64 years old and weighs 100kg. Can he lose weight naturally without surgery and get down to 70-80kg? Is that even possible at his age?
The golden rules of weight loss still apply: Burn more calories than you eat or drink. Eat more veggies, fruits, whole grains, fish, beans, and low-fat or fat-free dairy; and keep meat and poultry lean. Limit empty calories, like sugars and foods with little or no nutritional value.
