In this post, you’ll learn just how simple it can be to influence your patient’s diaphragm and pelvic floor. Asking someone to take three sets of ten deep breaths… ….without knowing what you’re really doing and why you’re actually doing it is something I’ve been guilty of in the past when first integrating breathwork into ...

Clinically duct pailloma causes nipple discharge , which is usually blood stained in nature . On ultrasound often a duct is seen dilated with a soft tissue density intraductal mass [ echogenic mass or filling defect ] noted within it . Some times associated intraductal fluid with internal echos also present . Duct papilloma may be of varying size , but usually small , solitary or multiple , and nonmobile mural adherent lesion with internal vascularity of Doppler [ suggests soft tissue nature ] . This should be differentiated from intraductal infected slough debris or other nonviable matter . Duct papillomas are common in subareolar & juxtaareolar areas , with some times dilated duct is seen extending into nipple . Biopsy is advised to detect any desmoplastic / neoplastic change. Case – A 55 yrs old female presented with H/O blood stained nipple discharge . Ultrasound scan showed a dilated duct extending from nipple to subareolar and adjacent area ,with a small soft tissue density / echogenic intraductal , mural adherent , nonmobile mass seen as a filling defect [ Fig 1, 2 ] . The intraductal mass showed internal vascularity on color and spectral Doppler , suggesting viable soft tissue nature of the lesion [ Fig 3 and 4 ]. Fig 1 - Nipple US scan shows elongated curved tubular ductal area [arrows] Fig 2 - Subareolar US scan shows conti..dilated duct with a small echogenic intraductal mass[M], seen as filling defect Fig 3- The intraductal mass shows internal vascularity on power doppler Fig 4 - Arterial waveform signals depicted within vessel of intrductal mass[papilloma]

This past week at Johns Hopkins was a challenge and a learning experience. As many of you know, once you enter the medical labyrinth, it all becomes completely.... Whether it's medical info and decisions or figuring out what is covered by insurances while feeling so lousy, you're completely undone. I can honestly say that I'm not quite sure what the heart follow-up is going to be after Wednesday's procedure was aborted. I think I heard two different things. I received word today, however, that Dr. Mathai will be calling me to brief me again. Although I have high quality medical insurance, it would not cover the supplemental feeding. The nutritionists went to work to figure out an alternative in order to lower costs. Then, I received a call today telling me insurance will pay for equipment supplies, which leaves me only paying out-of-pocket for the food itself, not everything. That saves a few hundred. I learned you can't do anything about this insane maze that can take advantage of those of us who are compromised for some reason or another. Be patient and keep inquiring until you find someone who takes the step to find the answer. Secondly, have someone to back you up because you can't keep it all together yourself. That's why we have each other. I know I keep saying this but the support has kept me going. Prayers, cards, notes, trader joe's chocolate, inspiring quotes, blog followers, and all. If I could get points for all of this, I could fly around the world twice. How lucky am I?
