PREVIOUS AND NEXT TERMS--------------------------------------
Disease, Wilson
An inherited disorder in which too much copper accumulates in the body. Although the accumulation of copper begins at birth, symptoms of the disorder appear later in life, between the ages of 6 and 40. A diagnostic feature of Wilson disease is what is called a Kayser-Fleischer ring, a deep copper-colored ring around the edge of the cornea. It represents copper deposits in the eye.The main clinical consequence for about 40 percent of patients with Wilson disease is liver disease. In other patients the first symptoms are neurological or psychiatric or both, and include tremor, rigidity, drooling, difficulty with speech, abrupt personality change, grossly inappropriate behavior and inexplicable deterioration of school work, neurosis or psychosis.
Disease-free survival
The length of time after treatment during which no disease is found. Can be reported for an individual patient or for a study population.
Diseases related to obesity
Obesity increases the risk of developing a large number of diseases including: Type 2 (adult-onset) diabetes; High blood pressure (hypertension); Stroke (cerebrovascular accident or CVA); Heart attack (myocardial infarction or MI); Heart failure (congestive heart failure); Cancer (certain forms such as cancer of the prostate and cancer of the colon and rectum); Gallstones and gall bladder disease (cholecystitis); Gout and gouty arthritis; Osteoarthritis (degenerative arthritis) of the knees, hips, and the lower back; Sleep apnea (failure to breath normally during sleep, lowering blood oxygen); Pickwickian syndrome (obesity, red face, underventilation, and drowsiness).
Diseases, inherited metabolic
Also called inborn errors of metabolism, these are heritable (genetic) disorders of biochemistry. Examples include albinism, cystinuria (a cause of kidney stones), phenylketonuria (PKU), and some forms of gout, sun sensitivity, and thyroid disease. These are only a very few of the hundreds of known inborn errors of metabolism. Advances in the diagnosis and treatment of inborn errors of metabolism have improved the outlook for many of these conditions so that early diagnosis, if possible in infancy, can be helpful. Many of the inborn errors of metabolism in young infants cause symptoms such as sluggishness (lethargy), poor feeding, apnea (stopping breathing) or tachypnea (fast breathing), and recurrent vomiting. Any infants, particularly full-term infants, with these findings should be seen and checked immediately by a doctor.
Diseases, rickettsial
The infectious diseases caused by the rickettsiae fall into 4 groups:(1) typhus: epidemic typhus, Brill-Zinsser disease, murine (endemic) typhus, and scrub typhus; (2) spotted fever-Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Eastern tick-borne rickettsioses, and rickettsialpox; (3) Q fever; and (4) trench fever
Disinsection
Dislocation, congenital hip
The abnormal formation of the hip joint in which the ball at the top of the thighbone (the femoral head) is not stable within the socket (the acetabulum). The ligaments of the hip joint may also be loose and stretched. The degree of instability or looseness varies. A baby born with this condition may have the ball of the hip loosely in the socket (subluxed) or the ball of the hip may be completely dislocated at birth.
Disorder, anxiety
A chronic condition characterized by an excessive and persistent sense of apprehension with physical symptoms such as sweating, palpitations, and feelings of stress. Anxiety disorders have biological and environmental causes.
Disorder, attention deficit (ADD)
An inability to control behavior due to difficulty in processing neural stimuli.
Disorder, central auditory processing
A condition in which there is an inability to differentiate, recognize or understand sounds while both the hearing and intelligence are normal.
Disorder, cephalic
A congenital condition that stems from damage to, or abnormal development of, the budding nervous system. Cephalic is a term that means "head" or "head end of the body." Congenital means the disorder is present at, and usually before, birth.
