What is a mediastinal shift?

---

concerning a pneumonectomy
The mediastinum is at the center of your chest, it is the area where your heart, esophagus, trachea, and several blood vessels and nerves lie.

A pneumonectomy is a surgical procedure to remove a lung which should cause a 'mediastinal shift' - just meaning that your mediastium (or all of the central stuff) shifts towards one side, the side that is now empty because there is no lung in it.  (+ info)

I had an MRI done and the Dr. wrote down I have a "Neoplasm of occioital bone". What does that mean?

---

I searched the web and believe "occioital bone" may be a misspelling or abbreviation. Is this something to be worried about?
Thanks! The Doctor wasnt really that nice and seemed to be in a rush. Maybe I'll ask my primary care.
Most like it was occipital bone, which is at the back of your head. I did research on "neoplasm". It means a growth or a tumor, NOT synonomous with cancer. If it was anything to be concerned about, your doctor would have told you immediately. If you're still uneasy, ask him.  (+ info)

need info about anterior mediastinal mass?

---

The mediastinum is a space in the chest located between the right and left lungs, between the inner breast bone (in front) and the spine (in back). Additionally, the mediastinum can be divided into 4 areas: superior (top), anterior (front), middle, and posterior (rear). The anterior mediastinum normally contains lymphatic tissue and some blood vessels. Masses in this area are generally abnormal. Possibilities include an enlarged thyroid gland, thymus gland (usually disappears by early adulthood), cysts, and malignancies. Anterior mediastinal masses are often first detected with a chest X-ray. Once found, a diagnostic workup is done. Surgery may be required for definite diagnosis and/or treatment, depending on the location and cause of the mass.  (+ info)

Difference between pancreatic neoplasm and cystic neoplasm?

---

Anyone who knows, I would greatly appreciate it.
I would like for those who are in the medical profession to answer this question, or someone with real knowledge. I'm not looking for insensitive answers, simply the facts.
I must add that this is specific to a low density mass in the pancreas, very small in size. No diagnostic tests have been done other than a CT that detected it.
pancreatic neoplasm occurs in the pancreas
cystic neoplasm can occur anywhere in the body.  (+ info)

Hereditary is proved to have links with your chances of getting heart disease. Fortunately there are measures which can be taken to stave the development of it. Good diet, exercise, weight maintainance, keeping cholesterol levels down (diet and drugs if need be).
Infection can cause damage to the structures of the heart eg Rheumatic fever can damage the valves, or inflammation of the muscle or layers of the heart.
