Dr. Jenny Y. Yoo, with Centegra Health System, explains the need for expert eyes on a Thyroid issue to determine whether or not surgery is necessary.
If you have thyroid cancer, you may be facing surgery. It’s the most common treatment, and it’s usually very successful.
Your surgery will depend on the kind of thyroid cancer you have. A thyroidectomy is when all or part of the thyroid gland is removed. A lobectomy is when one of the two lobes of your thyroid is removed. If the cancer has spread, lymph nodes in the neck area may be taken out, as well.

An ACL tear is a knee injury that can occur at any time, but often it happens during sports or an activity where a person is twisting, pivoting or jumping and the knee hyperextends or twists unnaturally. Sometimes, a patient may not need surgery. However, if the ligament is completely torn or the damage is severe, surgery likely will be the best option. Dr. William D. Cox Jr., an orthopedic surgeon with Centegra Physician Care-McHenry County Orthopedics, explains what to watch for in an ACL injury.

Don’t let bug bites ruin your fun this summer. Some insects can spread dangerous diseases. Reduce your chance of getting bitten this summer by taking these precautions.
Use repellent that contains at least twenty percent DEET for protection against mosquitos, ticks and other bugs. This is especially important if you’re out between dusk and dawn when mosquitos are most active.
Consider treating clothing and gear with permethrin (purr-meth-ren), a chemical that repels biting insects.
Cover exposed skin whenever possible. For extra protection, tuck your shirt into your pants and your pants into your socks.
Do a tick check after spending time in high grass or the woods and remove any ticks you find right away.
When you do get a bug bite, see a doctor if you have signs of an allergic reaction or infection. Schedule an appointment by calling 815-338-6600.
