Mayo Clinic Q & amp;A podcast: Understanding heart testing and evaluation
When it comes to the heart, it can be scary to seek care when you think you might be having a problem.

Understanding terms like EKG, echocardiogram, coronary angiogram or stress test may help alleviate the fear. "Whenever we order these tests, we don't want you to have anxiety," says Dr. Christopher DeSimone, a Mayo Clinic cardiologist. "These tests are all done… (Source: News from Mayo Clinic)

Credit: Marty Logan/IPSBy Marty LoganKATHMANDU, Feb 4 2022 (IPS) As the omicron wave of Covid-19 rose ominously in Nepal recently, to entice more people to get tested the government reduced the cost of PCR tests from 1,000 rupees ($8.37) to 800 rupees ($6.70) in government facilities and about double that in private ones.
“People with limited incomes can’t afford to get the test, and imagine if four members of a family have symptoms, the PCR tests alone will make a hole in their income,” Dr Baburam Marasini,...

Seven aneurysms later, Lori is still on the move
Most people think of inheriting things in a good way, but for Lori Herring, that wasn ’t entirely the case. She inherited a tendency to suffer from brain aneurysms (blood clots that can be fatal). Her grandfather died from one, her father had one burst, and her niece had three. When her general practitioner learned of her family history, she recommended Lori have an MRA (magnetic r esonance angiogram), a scan that looks at blood vessels in the body. It revealed that Lori had seven cranial aneurysms.
