He said one day that he is toxically overextended until Christmas. Toxically! I like words but that is a strong word. So until Christmas I am being more obnoxious than usual in my fielding attempts.Lyon wrote:I didn't ask anything about "Inflammatory" and what I did write seemed to be addressed to Dr Sclafani.
I was toxically overextended last nigh too, celebrating the birth of my niece ;)Cece wrote:He said one day that he is toxically overextended until Christmas. Toxically!
Dr. Sclafani, I have been wondering about something I read in a patient's blog of her procedure done by you. She said she was asked to raise her hands over her head (or maybe straight up?) when the azygous was being imaged. Did this help you see better? Does it increase blood flow to the azygous? I thought it was an interesting detail.Lyon wrote:I didn't ask anything about "Inflammatory" ....

Salute!
Well, we have to distinguish a variety of circumstancesLyon wrote:Dr Sclafani,
It comes to mind that I don't and couldn't know the entire list of reasons behind the IUP's conviction that the problems are congenital and not accumulative damage, possibly even created by another aspect of the immune system attacking "self".
Obviously veins being crowded out by bony protrusions, muscles etc.. are just fate and human imperfections but, despite your not being part of the IUP decision, I'm wondering if you are aware of reasons which would absolutely preclude the possibility that a considerable number of venous obstructions couldn't have been the result of lesions formed by a progressive situation, such as an autoimmune attack?
no, malden is the one who is loadedMarkW wrote:What a loaded question..............MarkW
i would ask all to try to be less inflammatory.

and perhaps this one too, it includes the phrase "so you win lyon":

lyon, it really doesnt act inflammatory. Most of the narrowings are focal right at the annulus of the valve. , certainly upside down valves are NOT inflammatory, they are developmental.Lyon wrote:"without the inflammatory component"? It's already been ascertained that there isn't?Cece wrote: Without the inflammatory component, I don't see that you have any argument for how a CNS autoimmune attack could progressively cause malformations of the valves?
I can wait for his response.....or he might decide not to respond at all.Cece wrote:He said one day that he is toxically overextended until Christmas.
"lesion" is a commonly used term in medicine. It is a catch all phrase used not only when the cause of the abnormality is unknown, but also in many other circumstancesLyon wrote:drsclafani wrote:but what do i know, i am toxically overloaded working two jobs on weekends to treat ccsviThanks for the response. Their use of the term "lesions" made me wonder, that's all.
