General Practitioners

Arthritis
Bone and joint infections. These develop when the infection from a bedsore burrows deep into your joints and bones. Joint infections (septic or infectious arthritis) can damage cartilage and tissue, whereas bone infections (osteomyelitis) may reduce the function of your joints and limbs.
Medical Weight Loss
Our weight management program leverages the power of semaglutide, an FDA-approved prescription medication for treating obesity in adults. Since its approval, semaglutide has facilitated remarkable weight loss results for thousands of individuals. Acting as an appetite suppressant, semaglutide promotes feelings of satiety, aiding in weight reduction. This program is designed to assist individuals who are overweight or obese and have encountered challenges in losing weight.

Infectious Diseases
Physicians are particularly reminded that consultation with a specialist in Infectious Diseases may be warranted in complex or life-threatening situations. The results of therapy can be both positive and negative in different people depending upon particular facts and circumstances regarding the person’s age, health, medical history, other drug use and physical condition. The therapies suggested here will not ensure successful treatment in every situation. In addition, these therapies are not inclusive of all proper methods of care, nor does their use preclude use of other methods of care. Neither nobadbugs.com, Regional infectious diseases infusion center inc, nor its editorial staff can be held responsible for errors or for any consequences arising from the use of the information in this website. Decisions regarding the propriety of any specific procedure or treatment must be made by the patient’s physician after consideration of all of the relevant facts regarding the individual patient.
Diarrhea
Pneumonia

Ophthalmologists

Cataracts
The most common side effect is barotraumas to the ears and sinuses caused by pressure changes. To minimize this risk, patients learn techniques to promote adequate clearing of the ears during compression. Other side effects are rarer, but may include oxygen toxicity, claustrophobia, and accelerated maturation of cataracts, Progressive myopia. Occasionally, some patients experience visual changes after several treatments that cause them to have changes in their visual acuity. This is usually only temporary and should disappear three or four months after the treatments stop. Other side effects are extremely rare

Colon Cancer
Secondary lymphedema, or acquired lymphedema, can develop as a result of surgery, radiation, infection or trauma. Specific surgeries, such as surgery for melanoma or breast, gynecological, head and neck, prostate or testicular, bladder or colon cancer, all of which currently require removal of lymph nodes, put patients at risk of developing secondary lymphedema. If lymph nodes are removed, there is always a risk of developing lymphedema.
Endoscopy
Physicians with patients in clinical trials follow a carefully designed treatment plan called a protocol. The protocol dictates exactly how your treatment will be administered. This protocol has been reviewed and approved by the FDA and an Institutional Review Board (IRB). The IRB reviews all clinical trials to be certain they are safe before the trial is offered as a treatment option to patients. The Joint IRB of St.Rita’s Medical Center, Institute of Orthopedic Surgery, West Ohio Surgery and Endoscopy Center and Triumph Hospital – Lima is the board which reviews clinical trials performed by our site.
Urinary Tract Infection
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is when germs get inside your urinary tract. Your urinary tract includes your kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Urine is made in your kidneys, and flows from the ureters to the bladder. Urine exits your body from your bladder through your urethra. A UTI is more common in your lower urinary tract, which includes your bladder and urethra. A UTI that travels up into your kidneys is called pyelonephritis. Ask your caregiver for more information about pyelonephritis.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Thyroid
Thyroid Cancer
Absence of Certain Medical Conditions: Individuals who are considering semaglutide should not have a history of pancreatitis, an inflammatory condition of the pancreas that can cause nausea and vomiting. Additionally, those with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer should avoid semaglutide.

Ultrasound
Your doctor will diagnose venous skin ulcers by asking questions about your health and looking at your legs. Your doctor may also use duplex Doppler ultrasound. This test shows how well blood is moving through the lower leg.
MRI
INSURANCE/PRIOR AUTHORIZATION – You are responsible for checking with your insurance company for scheduled procedures (MRI, CT scan, referrals, etc.) Make sure if prior authorization is need, it is obtained BEFORE the procedure is performed.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
Chemotherapy
Secondary lymphedema can develop immediately post-operatively, or weeks, months, even years later. It can also develop when chemotherapy is unwisely administered to the already affected area (the side on which the surgery was performed) or after repeated aspirations of a seroma (a pocket of fluid which occurs commonly post-operatively) in the axilla, around the breast incision, or groin area. This often causes infection and, subsequently, lymphedema.
Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy, used in the treatment of various cancers and some AIDS-related diseases (such as Kaposi-Sarcoma), can damage otherwise healthy lymph nodes and vessels, causing scar tissue to form which interrupts the normal flow of the lymphatic fluid. Radiation can also cause skin dermatitis or a burn similar to sunburn. It is important to closely monitor the radiated area for any skin changes, such as increased temperature, discoloration (erythema) or blistering which can lead into the development of lymphedema. Be sure to keep the area soft with lotion recommended by your radiation oncologist.

Wound Care
Our team is comprised of caring professionals working together to provide outcome driven comprehensive wound management. Our physicians, wound care nurses and technicians are extensively trained in advance wound care techniques. We use the most advanced wound care modalities and customize each treatment plan to the patient’s individual needs. Our experienced staff is ready to help you manage those hard to heal chronic wounds.
Orthopedic Surgery
Gangrene
When you have diabetes, you may have poor blood flow to your feet. This makes it harder for your feet to fight infections and heal from injuries. As a result, infections and sores on your feet are more likely to become serious. Without treatment, severe infections can cause the flesh of your foot to die (gangrene). People who have diabetes are 20 times more likely to have gangrene in the foot than people who do not have diabetes.
Ingrown Toenails
Reconstructive Surgery
Stage 3 (lymphostatic elephantiasis): At this stage the swelling is irreversible and usually the limb(s) is/are very large. The tissue is hard (fibrotic) and unresponsive; some patients consider undergoing reconstructive surgery called “debulking” at this stage.

Skin Cancer
Corns
Ulcer
A skin ulcer is a type of wound that develops on the skin. A venous skin ulcer is a shallow wound that develops when the leg veins don’t return blood back toward the heart as they normally would (venous insufficiency).
Calluses
Lesions
Inspect your feet daily for blisters, bleeding or lesions between toes. Use a mirror to see the bottom of the foot and the heel.
Skin Care
If the lymphedema is not caused by infection: Depending on the severity of the lymphedema, the recommended treatment plan should be determined using an approach based on the Complex Decongestive Therapy (CDT) methods which consist of: a) manual lymphatic drainage; b) bandaging; c) proper skin care & diet; d) compression garments (sleeves, stockings, devices such as Reid Sleeve, CircAid, Tribute, as well as other alternative approaches); e) remedial exercises; f) self-manual lymphatic drainage & bandaging, if instruction is available; g) continue to follow prophylactic methods at all times.

Physical Therapists

Physical Therapy
You may have to stay off your feet for a while to prevent further irritation of sores or infection. You may also need to keep your foot raised on a stool or pillow to help the blood flow better. Your provider may recommend physical therapy treatments, such as whirlpool baths, to help your foot heal. The therapist may also check how you are walking and how well your shoes fit. Sometimes a foot specialist (podiatrist) may help with your foot care.

Calluses
Diabetic Foot Care
Foot Infections
As long as you have diabetes, you will be at risk for foot infections. It is important for you to take good care of your feet to lessen the risk of infection and complications and loss of your foot or leg.
