"It can't be Huntington." Compared with Feng Ming's gaffe and nervousness, Qin's mother, who was standing behind him, acted much calmer. "I've heard of this disease, but no relative in our family has had it."
The diagnosis of Huntington's disease is actually very simple. The only core question is whether there is a family history. Considering that the symptoms of Huntington's disease are too obvious and the onset lasts for more than 10 years. If any relative shows the characteristics of Huntington's disease, then other
The probability that relatives know nothing about this is basically zero.
If a relative suddenly starts shaking his hands, stamping his feet, and turning his head like a convulsion, and then starves to death after being shaken for more than ten years, you will definitely notice it.
Xu Yourong was silent, and she suddenly said to Sun Li'en, "Systemic lupus erythematosus may also cause neostriatum damage..."
"The fourth rare symptom that may be caused by lupus?" Sun Lien shook his head slightly, "This can't be lupus."
Huntington's disease will not cause transient ischemic attacks, which is Sun Lien's biggest source of confidence. "If the middle cerebral artery is blocked, it may cause neostriatal ischemia." Sun Lien comforted Feng Ming, and also
He was comforting himself. "Anyway, let's do an MRI first to confirm the condition of the brain." He turned to Xu Yourong and said, "Dean Liu is in the hospital today, right?"
"Teacher Liu has a meeting in the morning. He should arrive around ten o'clock." Xu Yourong thought for a while and replied in a low voice, "Do you need me to contact Teacher Liu now?"
"Let's wait until the results come out." Sun Lien led a few people out of the conference room. In order to facilitate communication, Feng Ming and Qin's father and mother went to the small conference room together. "Second brother, you carry Xiaoya onto the flat bed.
"
Feng Ming carefully picked up his girlfriend from the rescue bed, his movements gentle and careful. It was as if he was holding a delicate and fragile work of art.
Father Qin and Mother Qin stood nearby, watching Feng Ming's actions, and they wiped away tears together.
The daughter's life, which was supposed to be a happy one, suddenly suffered a turmoil. The parents naturally felt pain in their eyes and felt pain in their hearts. They just wished they could use themselves to suffer for their daughter.
Qin Ya, who was under the influence of sedation, was placed on the mobile flat bed. Sun Lien and Xu Yourong followed the bed and watched Feng Ming push the flat bed into the waiting room of the imaging department.
"Are you still on duty?" Brother Luo from the Imaging Department saw Sun Lien and came over with a smile. "How is Xiaolin Xun?"
"Confirmed, hyperthyroidism." Sun Lien nodded towards Brother Luo, "Already taking medication, the condition is stable."
Brother Luo looked at Qin Ya on the flat bed and Feng Ming pushing the bed. He looked around at the people waiting for treatment and asked in a low voice, "Is this...an acquaintance of yours?"
It’s no wonder that Brother Luo suddenly asked such a question. Generally speaking, as long as it is not a severe patient with unstable vital signs, the treating doctor will not come to the imaging department with the patient. Although Qin Ya was lying on the flat bed,
But there was no cardiopulmonary monitor next to the bed, and there was no oxygen bag on the bed. At a glance, it was clear that her condition was different from that of Lin Lan, who came for the scan yesterday, and this was the problem.
"She is my brother's fiancée." Sun Lien replied, "Come for a full skull MRI scan."
"What's the problem?" Brother Luo looked at the patient's condition up and down, then looked at Feng Ming and Qin's father and Qin's mother who were pushing the bed and waiting for their number to be called, "Are you anxious?"
"The most urgent problem is that we don't know what's wrong with her." Sun Lien sighed, "It could be lupus erythematosus, or it could be neostriatal lesions..."
Brother Luo raised his eyebrows and looked at the long queue of people waiting to line up in the outpatient clinic. He looked around him again and whispered, "Follow me."
The Imaging Department of the Fourth Central Hospital has a total of three MRIs. The two latest MRI machines are placed in the outpatient clinic. The third one was originally affiliated to the Affiliated Hospital of Ningyuan Medical College, but was later eliminated after the equipment of the affiliated hospital was updated.
The antique items that came down have basically been withdrawn from active service and turned into backup machines and teaching practice equipment.
Different from today's new NMR machines, the average trouble-free operation time of the old NMR machines is only one-third of that of the new machines. And the compressor, one of the core components of the machine's operation, has an appallingly short life. Generally
The outpatient clinic will not let this old antique machine use its remaining heat, mainly because they are afraid that in the middle of the examination, the old machine will suddenly stop working and scare the patients.
This "hand-training" machine just got a new compressor yesterday and has just completed recalibration and debugging. It is in the best condition. Luo Ge plans to sell Sun Lien as a favor to use the old machine without queuing, and the current condition is just right.
Suitable for Qin Ya's situation.
Following Brother Luo to the imaging room, Sun Lien looked at the tired machine and immediately understood what Brother Luo meant.
"This is really troublesome for you." Qin Ya is the only patient that Sun Lien currently has on hand that needs diagnosis, and she is also the girlfriend of a good friend in college. Due to emotions and reasons, Sun Lien has to wait by his side. But.
Waiting in the waiting area is really a waste of time. If you really want to do this, you might as well go back to the emergency room to see if there are any other patients.
Entering the MRI room with Feng Ming, Sun Lien looked at the antique machine placed in the room, and was startled by the nameplate on it.
Anke asp-015, manufactured in February 1990.
This MRI is actually three years older than Sun Lien!
"Could this be..." Xu Yourong's reaction was even greater than that of Sun Lien, "is it the first domestically produced nuclear magnetic resonance equipment?"
"That's right. It's this old antique." Luo Ge smiled a little apologetically, "Although he is an old guy, he just finished maintenance yesterday. Now he is in excellent condition, and there is absolutely no problem in making a diagnosis.
..." He paused and continued, "How about just doing a full-body scan? Anyway, there are no interns scheduled for internship today. The machine is left alone."
Whole-body MRI is a very time-consuming examination. The patient needs to lie in the machine for five or six hours to complete the whole-body scan. Although a full-body scan is easier to detect some problems such as early cancer, this examination
This method is an unwarranted waste of medical resources. One patient occupies the machine for five or six hours, which means that many other patients who urgently need to use MRI will be forced to wait, and the treatment opportunity may even be delayed.
But with an antique MRI machine used for hand training, there were no such worries. Sun Lien agreed to Luo Ge's suggestion without any hesitation, "Start from the head and scan as many as you can."
