Can cyber knife be used to eradicate staphylococcus aureus?

Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
No, cyber knife can not be used to eradicate the infection. This method is used for precise tumors destruction, does not work against bacteria.
The main problem with infected areas is that antibiotics sometimes have a problem to reach them. Especially if there is a pus in the infected area. Pus contains dead white blood cells and bacteria. There is no blood vessels inside so no antibiotic can reach them.
The best way is to surgically open infected part, clean it and drain. After such procedure, antibiotics can be used.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.

Detailed Answer:
Maybe the opening isnt wide enough. It is very important for such infected wound healing to have it open wide so the fluids and pus can freely come out. Instead of packing a gauze, you should try Octeniline solution or special bandages with silver like TenderWet. Generally you should be guided by a surgeon how to do that as it is not easy.
Rare growth means that there is not much bacteria in the collected material.

Detailed Answer:
Yes, healed and clear wound should stop draining. Light brow fluid contains tissues fluid mixed with dead white blood cells, bacteria and other blood parts. Blood itself can be also present. This is how the wound clears up.
Regards.

MD I have been dealing with arthritis since I was 25. I am now 65. I have had one hip replacement. I have it in my hands,feet,hips,lower back and now my shoulders. I am in a great deal of pain. My doctor only prescribes extended relief Tylenol. I keep telling him I need something stronger because Tylenol doesn t even touch the pain I am in. I use to walk a lot now my feet hurt so bad I have given it up. Plus I rode my bike too but now find it hurts my back too. Any suggestions on pain medications?
MD Hi I have been running like crazy taking care of my husband who just got a hip replacement on May 27. I ve had bouts of constipation. I take magnesium 400 mg. grape seed 200 mg. fish oil (frozen to avoid repeating) & I take Kiefer several times a week that I make. We also only drink raw milk. When I take the fish oil at time I do get loose stools but not that bad. I m on Percocet for knee pain but only a few a week. Over the last week I ve noticed a little mucously/blood in my stool. It ranges from red to a little darker. I know Keifer can cause a cleansing effect & even get rid of parasites but again I only take it a few times a week. I ve been tired but then I ve been doing too much taking care of my husband. I ve done stool cultures that I sent in which were ok but never had a colonoscopy. I did have a Sigmoidoscopy about 20 years ago.

MD My mother had hip replacement surgery on Friday and now her epigloptis does not work correctly with each swallow. Sometimes she coughs, usually after drinking water, and the barium swallow shows the pigloptis moves sometimes and sometimes it doesn t.She has a small throat and has had it stretched once so she can swallow pills. A childs instrument had to be used to streatch her throat.Since this started after surgery could the tube that was put down her throat had caused this? Will this go away on its own or will it require medication or surgery?Thank you
