What is the chance of osteoarthritis in hands being erosive?

Hello doctor,

I have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in both hands. One doctor suggested erosions in the left hand while another read that the right hand did not see evidence of that. I was wondering what your opinion is, do you agree with osteoarthritis diagnosis and if so is there evidence of erosions? All blood were negative for any autoimmune causes, anti nuclear antibody (ANA), rheumatoid factor (RF), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C reactive protein (CRP), etc.

My partner has swollen lymph nodes with high CPR and eosinophils. Please interpret her USG.

Hello doctor,

I am writing to you about my partner. She has had swollen lymph nodes for the past two years. Only other symptoms are high CPR and very slightly higher eosinophils.

She had an ultrasound of her right side of the neck today, and I would like to know if you can see anything unusual. Also, I would like to know what the other two pictures say, that are 2 cm lymph node or the marked submandibular gland which was operated on.

On two pictures, I see three small circles around a big circle, and on one of the pictures, some of the small circles have something inside of them.

Obviously doctors are investigating possible lymphoma, so I would really appreciate your help and if you could take a good look at everything and tell us an opinion about the features of the examined organs.

MRI of head and neck shows enlarged adenoids. I the enlargement benign or malignant?

Hello doctor,

I am a 32-year-old male. I went to the doctor last week and they told me I have an enlarged adenoid. They took a biopsy from it to rule out malignancy. A few weeks earlier, I have had an MRI of the head and neck. Can you look at the footage and let me know if there are signs of an enlarged adenoid on the images. Also, could you tell me what the enlargement could be? Benign or malignant?

How do symptoms like abdominal pain, fullness, nausea, and weight loss related to ovarian cancer?

Hello doctor,

I have abdominal pain, fullness, nausea, weight loss, leg edema. I would like a second opinion and another interpretation of my scans, please.

In February, I started having bad abdominal fullness, nausea, vomiting, anemia, and weight loss for a few weeks. Then I felt a little better but then I get the same again. I am worried about possible ovarian cancer as three of my aunts had it, my mom and five aunts had breast cancer and my grandma died of peritoneal cancer of ovarian origin. When I looked at the CT scans it seemed of pretty poor quality compared to the images I see online. Please help.
