Turner syndrome A chromosomal disorder in females in which
either an X chromosome is missing, making the
person XO instead of XX, or part of one X
chromosome is deleted.
Tay-Sachs Disease A human genetic disease caused by a recessive
allele for a dysfunctional enzyme leads to the
accumulation of certain lipids in the brain.
Seizures, blindness, and degeneration of motor
and mental performance usually become
manifest a few months after birth, followed by
death within a few years.
Down syndrome A condition of mild to severe intellectual
disability and associated physical disorders
caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21
,Diabetes Insipidus Antidiuretic hormone is not secreted adequately,
or the kidney is resistant to its effect. The serum
sodium is often elevated due to excess free
water losses.
In diabetes insipidus, your blood glucose levels
are normal, but your kidneys can't properly
concentrate urine.
Cardiac Valve Disease Process In heart valve disease, one or more of the valves
in your heart doesn't work properly.
Regurgitation (or leakage of the valve). When the
valve(s) do not close completely, it causes blood
to flow backward through the valve. This reduces
forward blood flow and can lead to volume
overload in the heart.
Stenosis (or narrowing of the valve). When the
valve(s) opening becomes narrowed, it limits the
flow of blood out of the ventricles or atria. The
heart is forced to pump blood with increased
force to move blood through the narrowed or
stiff (stenotic) valve(s).
Cardiac Valve Complications Heart valve disease can cause many
complications, including:
* Heart failure.
* Stroke.
* Blood clots.
* Heart rhythm abnormalities.
* Death.
, Respiratory Illness from bats Viral hemorrhagic fevers are spread by contact
with infected animals or insects. The viruses that
cause viral hemorrhagic fevers live in a variety of
animal and insect hosts.
Most commonly, the hosts include mosquitoes,
ticks, rodents, or bats. Some viral hemorrhagic
fevers can also be spread from person to person.
Anemia Different types of anemia include:
Anemia due to vitamin B12 deficiency
Anemia due to folate (folic acid) deficiency
Anemia due to iron deficiency
Anemia of chronic disease
Hemolytic anemia
Idiopathic aplastic anemia
Megaloblastic anemia
Pernicious anemia
Sickle cell anemia
Thalassemia
Acid Base Balance - lung and The kidneys have two main ways to maintain acid-
kidney compensation base balance - their cells reabsorb bicarbonate
HCO3− from the urine back to the blood and
they secrete hydrogen H+ ions into the urine.
By adjusting the amounts reabsorbed and
secreted, they balance the bloodstream's pH.
Pyelonephritis Inflammation of the renal pelvis and the kidney
Prostate cancer Cancer of the prostate gland usually occurs in
men middle-aged and older.
Artery response during blood loss. Vasoconstriction
Does cell shrink or swell ?
