Who has advertised free lasik eye surgery this week on NJ 101.5?
Q. If you go to the website and tell why you deserve it, until 10/29.
A. I'm sure if you call the station they can tell you who it is.
Is there a disease caused by MRIs?
Q. My mom said she saw a commericla froma lawyer saying call here if this has happened-type commercial. It mentioned people getting really bad sores that develop into psoris and such from having MRIs and back surgeries. Has anyone heard anything about this? My father had to have MRIs done for a back surgery and ended up having the surgery. He developed sores along the scar line and also developed psosisis shortly after, starting at his scar mark. Can not blame poor cleaning of the wound because my sister is a nurse and she cleaned it herself....
So...my question..has anyone heard anything like this happeneding or seen this commercial?

A. As of December, the FDA had received reports of 90 patients with moderate to end-stage kidney disease who developed NSF/NFD after having an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) or MRA (Magnetic Resonance Angiography) scan with a gadolinium-based contrast agent.
An MRI scan is performed to take a clear detailed picture of a patient's internal organs and tissue and an MRA is used to take a detailed picture of a patient's blood vessels. During some MRI scans and all MRA scans, a gadolinium-based contrast agent is injected into the patient's vein so blood vessels can be distinguished from other nearby tissues. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a second Public Health Advisory in December 2006 about a new skin disorder known as Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis or Nephrogenic Fibrosing Dermotherapy (NSF/NFD). The disease is debilitating and may cause death.
In a pivotal study in 2006 conducted by Dr. T. Grobner it was noted that 5 of their 9 patients diagnosed with NSF had received a MRI involving use of Contrast Dye
At the current time, NSF/NFD is believed to develop over a period of days to several weeks.
� Red or dark patches
� Skin may feel �woody� and surface may resemble the texture of the peel of an orange
� Contracting and or locking joints
� Skin lesions
� Yellow papules or plaques on or near the eyes.
Patients with NSF/NFD describe swelling and tightening of the skin, usually limited to the extremities, but sometimes involving the trunk. In many cases, the skin thickening inhibits the flexion and extension of joints, resulting in contractures. Severely affected patients may be unable to walk, or fully extend the joints of their arms, hands, legs, and feet. Complaints of muscle weakness are common.
Other organs might be affected, including the lungs, liver, muscles, and heart. About 5% of patients have very rapid and progressive disease development, and some patients may die.
Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) / Nephrogenic Fibrosing Dermopathy (NFD), described in 2000, is an emerging systemic disorder characterized by widespread tissue fibrosis.
NFS/NFD was not known to the medical community before March 1997 and some medical authors suggest that the sudden occurrence of the disease in the last 8 years makes it likely that a new agent or technique of examination causes it. Currently, there is no effective treatment available for NSF/NFD.
Based on recent research, NSF/NFD occurs only in patients with advanced or in end stage kidney disease and is strongly related to the use of gadolinium dyes for MRI scans. At this time, there are no known cases of NSF/NFD in patients with normal kidney function.
Currently, little is known about NSF/NFD. However, due to recent studies, the association is so strong, that both the FDA and the company that makes gadodiamide have sent out warnings about the use of gadolinium-containing contrast in patients with advanced kidney disease.
If you, a family member, or friend has suffered NSF/NFD, there is a chance you qualify for monetary compensation from the manufacturer. Don't hesitate to seek justice for the damages you or your loved ones have suffered!
If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with NSF/NFD, and has received an MRI, you may be eligible for compensation. It is your right to seek compensation from those responsible for your situation.

i have a visa question if any one can help me?
Q. my uncle has a visa from egypt to visit us here in NJ. he is extremely sick and we asked an egyptian doctor what to do and he said my uncle needs a liver transplant. Is it a right for him to have the surgery in america or no. if yes please explain to me? THANKS IN ADVANCE!
A. The U.S. does do some liver transplant on citizens from other countries. If I can remember my research on this awhile ago, I believe they allow about 5% of the transplants to go to citizens elsewhere. Ninety five percent of transplants goes to U.S. citizens. It would be a long shot for your uncle, but it could be possible depending on a long list of things to happen before it would ever occur.
He would have to get a doctor to refer him to be evaluated at a transplant center to find out first if he actually needs a transplant and then whether or not he can pass the evaluation in order to receive one. People are not automatically put on a waiting list just simply because they need one or ask for one. Everyone has to pass an evaluation that includes a lot of medical testing, psychiatric evaluation, and make sure that the transplant will be paid for either through health insurance or some other means. I had to get my insurance company to approve me for even getting evaluated since that cost thousands and even tens of thousands depending on what tests they order for you to get done. And this is just to find out if you qualify for a transplant. Some people are turned down for various reason. Maybe they are too sick. Maybe they have too many other health problems. Maybe they don't have insurance and can't pay for it.
After all the medical testing and such, a board of doctors go over the case and look at everything. They will then decide whether or not this person can be listed to receive a transplant or get a living donor transplant. Both require that the person pass the evaluation. A typical transplant today costs $250,000 and up. Complications can greatly increase the cost.
Your uncle will also need a lot of aftercare and trips to the hospital after his transplant to keep checking on him. He is going to need help for awhile since they will need to keep a close eye on him for awhile. My suggestion to him would to try and get his transplant in his own country. This is espcially true if he is just here to visit and then go home. A liver transplant is the most serious of all transplant surgeries, even more so than a heart transplant. It is more complicated and takes more time. A person doesn't just bounce back from this surgery in a week or two. I was in the hospital for 63 days with mine. He might be more comfortable getting it done where he resides in his own place and town/city. If he has no one else here except you, a lot of the responsibility will fall on you for his aftercare since he will need many trips to the doctor and labwork done all the time at first. Not only that, if he plans on getting put on the waiting list, it could take many months and even years before he might get called. Is he planning on staying with you that long? The sickest people get the transplants first, so you would also have to deal with him getting sicker and sicker until they call him. A person has to be within 4 hours of reaching the hospital when called for transplant, so your uncle would have to stay here in the U.S. until called.
Now if he wants to go with a living donor that will give him a portion of their liver, that's another ball game and another set of problems. First he needs to find a donor that is healthy enough and willing to go through this very serious surgery for him. This person must also be a match for his liver. That person must also go through the evaluation process in order to become a donor. Most of the time, it's a family member. Stranger donors are extremely rare for liver transplants.
Like I said, there are a lot of hurdles to clear but it can be done. I suggest you talk it over with your family and decide what would work best considreing all that is involved.

good place to get lasik in nj/ny area? plz help!?
Q. i want to get lasik eye surgery in the new jersey area. i will go to new york too but i live in nj. please. . reputable places and only answer if you have had it done or know someone that had it done! thanks =)
A. Lasik eye surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and Lasik surgery in India by a company called Indian Health Guru Consultants. The Price for dental and Lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.
Indian Health Guru Consultants is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, Lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.
They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye 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 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.
