Home & Back To Work
I wanted to share with you that I had a lovely visit with a friend whom I have known for 40+ years. We ate too much, we slept too little, we got rained on while trying to yard sale and we reminisced a lot.
I am officially back to work. I have added some things that were discussed this week to the ABCs of Health since returning the community
Good vs Bad Cholesterol
What the DSM- V is
What are Triglycerides and is your level being low dangerous.
AND since no one was brave enough to hazard a guess I am going to give you the definition of a NODULE!
A nodule is a small, solid, usually lump or swelling of tissue that can form just beneath the skin, in internal organs, or in glands. While the term itself is not a diagnosis. A nodule can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Depending on where a nodule is found, it will be examined differently.
Skin: Dermatologists define a nodule as a firm lump larger than 1 centimeter.
Lungs: Detected on imaging, they are small, rounded growths usually under 3 cm in diameter.
Thyroid: A common lump that forms on the butterfly-shaped gland in the neck.
Common causes include cell accumulation, inflammation, or infection, but because they can be cancerous, the presence of a nodule warrants further investigation usually via imaging! Building this kind of health literacy, one medical terminology word at a time, is exactly what the ABCs of Health is here for.
