Yes, it is uncommon but is possible. For example, several dogs were infected by their owners with H1N1/09 (swine flu) during the pandemic.

Will you get the stomach flu if your spouse has it?

Yes and no. If you already got a flu shot before someone in your household got the stomach flu then you have a VERY low, to no chance at all to getting a stomach flu. If you did not get a flu shot yet or are against flu shots or other medical treatments then to reduce this risk, I would recommend washing your hands after you get home from work or school, before and after you eat, and during any free time that you may have. Also try to stay away from the person with the illness, until it is completely gone.(you can be around them to help them if they need help, but make sure you don't touch your face e.i. face, mouth, eyes, etc. and wash your hands afterwards)

"Laughter is the best medicine". It doesn't CURE depression but it does help, and makes the situations much better, if only for a little while. If you need a "cure" for depression, I would suggest that you go and see your doctor because medication may be needed, and only your doctor can know which ones and how much you need to take. But laughing does help, and works your abbs!! :)

Where is a baby kept in the stomach?

In people, the part of the body called the abdomen is the section on our fronts that starts just below our chests and goes to just above where our legs start. We have many different organs and parts inside our abdomens such as the stomach, the liver, the bowel, and the uterus in females.

It can be confusing when people talk about a mother having a baby in her "tummy" because we sometimes use the words tummy and stomach when we really mean "abdomen". Our stomach is where we digest our food, it is where our food goes when we eat it. It is a space to hold the food inside our abdomen until it is digested. The stomach is not involved in making babies.

Another space inside our abdomen is the uterusthat we also call a womb. It is inside the uterus that the baby forms. The uterus is just below the navel (bellybutton) in the abdomen.

After the man's penis puts sperm inside the woman's uterus through her vagina, the sperm connects with an egg and that is when the baby starts to form in the uterus. It takes about nine months and then the baby is ready to come out. It comes back out from the uterus through the vagina to be born.

What is gastric mucosal abnormality in the antrum caused by erythema?

I'll start by breaking down the medical terms. "Gastric" refers to the stomach. "Mucosal" refers to the inside lining, where the acid-secreting glands are. "Erythema" means redness, usually caused by too much blood in an area.

Putting this back together, the report indicates an excess of blood in the lining of the stomach. The use of "abnormality" means the cause of the blood hasn't been determined, which may be good or bad. Typically cancer and infection are pretty easy to identify, unless it is an unusual type or particularly aggressive.

Unless your doctor is worried about this, I wouldn't be too concerned. You may have simply had some stress that caused the stomach lining to be extra red.
