◉ disease. Answer: a deviation from normal structure or function in
the body that interrupts or modifies the performance of vital
functions. For example, the amount of glucose in the blood is tightly
regulated to ensure that organs receive an adequate supply of
energy.
◉ Pathology. Answer: Study of disease, epecially the structural and
functional changes assoicated with causes, mechaisms, signs, and
symtpoms, treatments and prevention.
◉ Health. Answer: is the condition in which the human body per-
forms its vital functions normally. In health the body's various organ
systems function optimally and a person can participate fully in his
or her life.
◉ Prognosis. Answer: a disease predicted course and outcome. The
prognosis may state the chances for complete recovery, predict the
permanent loss of function, or give probability of survival.
,◉ Diagnosis. Answer: the process of identifying a disease or
disorder. Several types of information are used for diagnosis,
including signs and symptoms, which can be quite specific and
therefore helpful for diagnosing certain diseases.
◉ Acute Disease. Answer: has a sudden onset and short duration.
Influenza, measles, and the common cold are examples of acute
infections.
◉ Terminal. Answer: Disease that will end in death.
◉ Chronic Disease. Answer: has a slower, less severe onset and a
long dura- tion of months or years. Examples of chronic diseases
include heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, and arthritis.
◉ Exacerbation. Answer: Signs and symptoms may grow more
severe.
◉ Relapse. Answer: The return of a disease weeks or months after
its apparent cure.
◉ Complication. Answer: interfers with recovery from the original
disease.
, ◉ Sequela. Answer: aftermath of a particular disease. Example
sequel of polio is paralysis.
◉ Remission. Answer: signs and symptoms subside or disappear
◉ Mortality. Answer: Number of deaths that occur among people
with a certain disease
◉ Morbidity. Answer: is the number of cases of a disease in a
population
◉ Prevalence. Answer: is a percentage of a population that is
affteced with a particular disease at a given time
◉ Incidence. Answer: The number or rate of new cases of a
particular condition during a specific time.
◉ Idiopathic. Answer: a diseas that is not known is said to be.
◉ Pathogenesis. Answer: Cause of a disease leads to the
anatommical and physiological changes in the body that ulimately
result in disease
◉ Etiology. Answer: important aspect of any disease
