With nystagmus, the eyeball might "jump." It beats from side to side, or middle to side, etc.

Doubt antistigmatic--not a word. Astigmatism is something entirely different. There is no reference in Stedman's ophth for antistigmatic, but do believe they mean nystagmus for "eyes jump." Can you leave a blank? The author apparently doesn't know the correct word to use. Maybe the context of the sentence will help you.

Subject: Since they start out on the left side,

I don't think this is logical. They start at the rectum, then meet the sigmoid (left colon), next transverse, then right (descending) colon, then cecum last.

But I'd be more comfortable with the term rigid sigmoidoscope than colonoscope. No way can a rigid instrument get all the way around, right?

Is anyone aware if radiation has this effect? Thanks.

chemo vs tumor side effects
Subject: chemo vs tumor side effects

Sometimes the suggestion of chemo side effects can also be the symptoms or manifestations of the tumor itself. Temodar (brand name for the generic temozolomide) is primarily used in the treatment of brain tumors, i.e. gliomas, melanomas, astrocytoma, blastomas and the like. Photosensitivity is commonly correlated with gliomas and melanomas primaries as well as brain metastases....especially as these tumor types progress. Also, being a brain tumor, the location of the tumor itself (rather than its type) could be playing a central role in producing that symptom.
