ANGOLA â Youth in grades 7-12 are invited to participate in 18 days of fun and learning about a variety of topics as part of the Indiana 4-H Road Show.
The road show includes parts of the 4-H Academy at Purdue, the state 4-H Junior Leader Conference and 4-H Round-Up in a series of one-day sessions being held in several locations across the area instead of bringing hundreds of people together in one location for the events.
Each session will be held in multiple counties around the state and participants can gather in person with other students interested in the same topics.
Think you have an iodine allergy? You may want to reconsider. [PODCAST]
“Iodine-based contrast agents are widely used for CT and other X-ray studies. They light up blood vessels and enhance perfusing tissue. These agents are essential for diagnosing everything from clots, to tumor, to bleeding. Unfortunately, many patients do not get contrast studies they may benefit from, due to unnecessary confusion about allergies.
The most important step to avoiding confusion is to start calling contrast agents by their names, as you would do for any other drug, and to remove ‘iodine’ from your allergy vocabulary. Like antibiotics, there is more than one kind of contrast agent. Radiologists routinely dictate the name of the agent used in their study reports, so if a reaction occurs, the information is readily available. The problem comes when we do not distinguish one agent from another. Most patients with a prior reaction were never told the name of the drug they received, and they incorrectly assume that an allergy to one means allergy to all. Not so, just like with other classes of medications.”
