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 kidney The kidneys have two main ways to maintain acid-base
compensation 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 ?
Marfan Syndrome - Autosomal dominant This condition is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern ,
trait which means one copy of the altered gene in each cell is
sufficient to cause the disorder.
At least 25 percent of Marfan syndrome cases result from a
new mutation in the FBN1 gene
Spina Bifida Not having enough folic acid during pregnancy is one of the
most important factors that can increase the chances of
having a child with spina bifida.
Bursitis Inflammation of a bursa sac. Inflammation of the fluid-filled
pads (bursae) that act as cushions at the joints.
Sprains and Strains A sprain occurs when you overextend or tear a ligament
while severely stressing a joint.A strain occurs when tendons
(bands at the end of muscles that connect muscles to
bones) get
stretched or pulled away from the bone.
Endometriosis # Painful periods (dysmenorrhea). Pelvic pain and cramping
may begin before and extend several days into a
menstrual period.
#Lower back and abdominal pain.
#Pain with intercourse. Pain during or after sex is common with
endometriosis.
#Pain with bowel movements or urination. You're most likely to
experience these symptoms during a menstrual period.
#Excessive bleeding. You may experience occasional heavy
menstrual periods or bleeding between periods
(intermenstrual bleeding).
#Infertility. Sometimes, endometriosis is first diagnosed in
those seeking treatment for infertility.
#Fatigue, diarrhea, constipation, bloating or nausea,
especially during menstrual periods.
