Allergies
Altered reactivity to an antigen, which can result in pathologic reactions upon subsequent exposure to that particular
antigen.
Ankylosing Spondylitis
The form of rheumatoid arthritis affecting the spine. It occurs predominantly in young males and produces pain and
stiffness as a result of inflammation of the sacroiliac, intervertebral, and costovertebral joints. Etiology is unknown.
Asthma
A form of bronchial disorder associated with airway obstruction, marked by recurrent attacks of paroxysmal dyspnea, with
wheezing due to spasmodic contraction of the bronchi.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
A behavior disorder originating in childhood in which the essential features are signs of developmentally inappropriate
inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. Although most individuals have symptoms of both inattention and
hyperactivity-impulsivity, one or the other pattern may be predominant. The disorder is more frequent in males than
females. Onset is in childhood. Symptoms often attenuate during late adolescence although a minority experience the full
complement of symptoms into mid-adulthood
Autism
A disorder beginning in childhood. It is marked by the presence of markedly abnormal or impaired development in social
interaction and communication and a markedly restricted repertoire of activity and interest. Manifestations of the disorder
vary greatly depending on the developmental level and chronological age of the individual.
Back Pain
Acute or chronic pain located in the posterior regions of the trunk, including the thoracic, lumbar, sacral, or adjacent
regions.
Bedwetting
Involuntary discharge of urine after the age at which urinary control should have been achieved; often used alone with
specific reference to involuntary discharge of urine occurring during sleep at night (bed-wetting; nocturnal enuresis).
Cerebral Palsy
A heterogeneous group of nonprogressive motor disorders caused by chronic brain injuries that originate in the prenatal
period, perinatal period, or first few years of life. The four major subtypes are spastic, athetoid, ataxic, and mixed cerebral
palsy, with spastic forms being the most common. The motor disorder may range from difficulties with fine motor control to
severe spasticity (see MUSCLE SPASTICITY) in all limbs. Spastic diplegia (Little disease) is the most common subtype, and
is characterized by spasticity that is more prominent in the legs than in the arms. Pathologically, this condition may be
associated with LEUKOMALACIA, PERIVENTRICULAR.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
A syndrome characterized by persistent or recurrent fatigue, diffuse musculoskeletal pain, sleep disturbances, and
subjective cognitive impairment of 6 months duration or longer. Symptoms are not caused by ongoing exertion; are not
relieved by rest; and result in a substantial reduction of previous levels of occupational, educational, social, or personal
activities. Minor alterations of immune, neuroendocrine, and autonomic function may be associated with this syndrome.
There is also considerable overlap between this condition and FIBROMYALGIA.
Constipation
Infrequent or difficult evacuation of feces.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
A disease of chronic diffuse irreversible airflow obstruction. Subcategories of COPD include CHRONIC BRONCHITIS and
PULMONARY EMPHYSEMA.
Crohns Disease
Gastrointestinal disorder characterized by chronic inflammatory infiltrates, fibrosis affecting all layers of the serosa, and
development of noncaseating granulomas. The most common site of involvement is the terminal ileum with the colon as the
second most common.
Cystic Fibrosis
An inherited disease of exocrine glands, affecting most characteristically the pancreas, respiratory system, and sweat
glands, usually beginning in infancy and typified by chronic respiratory infections, pancreatic insufficiency, and
susceptibility to heat prostration. Cirrhosis of liver occurring in childhood is common and may produce portal hypertension,
splenomegaly, and hypersplenism.
Cystitis
Inflammation of the urinary bladder.
Deafness
A general term for the complete or partial loss of the ability to hear from one or both ears. Deafness may result from EAR
DISEASES; VESTIBULOCOCHLEAR NERVE DISEASES; or BRAIN DISEASES.
Depression
Depressive states usually of moderate intensity in contrast with major depression present in neurotic and psychotic
disorders.
Diabetes
A heterogeneous group of disorders that share glucose intolerance in common.
Diarrhea
Passage of excessively liquid or excessively frequent stools.
Downs Syndrome
A chromosome disorder associated either with an extra chromosome 21 or an effective trisomy for chromosome 21. Clinical
manifestations include hypotonia, short stature, brachycephaly, upslanting palpebral fissures, epicanthus, Brushfield spots
on the iris, protruding tongue, small ears, short, broad hands, fifth finger clinodactyly, Simian crease, and moderate to
severe MENTAL RETARDATION. Cardiac and gastrointestinal malformations, a marked increase in the incidence of
LEUKEMIA, and the early onset of ALZHEIMER DISEASE are also associated with this condition. Pathologic features include
the development of NEUROFIBRILLARY TANGLES in neurons and the deposition of AMYLOID BETA-PROTEIN, similar to the
pathology of ALZHEIMER DISEASE.
Dysphasia
A cognitive disorder marked by an impaired ability to comprehend or express language in its written or spoken form. This
condition is caused by diseases which affect the language areas of the dominant hemisphere. Clinical features are used to
classify the various subtypes of this condition. General categories include receptive, expressive, and mixed forms of aphasia.
Eczema
A pruritic papulovesicular dermatitis occurring as a reaction to many endogenous and exogenous agents (Dorland, 27th ed).
Endometriosis
A condition in which tissue more or less perfectly resembling the uterine mucous membrane (the endometrium) and
containing typical endometrial granular and stromal elements occurs aberrantly in various locations in the pelvic cavity.
Epilepsy
A disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of paroxysmal brain dysfunction due to a sudden, disorderly, and excessive
neuronal discharge. Epilepsy classification systems are generally based upon: (1) clinical features of the seizure episodes
(e.g., motor seizure), (2) etiology (e.g., post-traumatic), (3) anatomic site of seizure origin (e.g., frontal lobe seizure), (4)
tendency to spread to other structures in the brain, and (5) temporal patterns (e.g., nocturnal epilepsy). (From Adams et al.,
Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p313)
Gallstones
Presence or formation of gallstones.
Heartburn
Substernal pain or burning sensation, usually associated with regurgitation of gastric juice into the esophagus.
Hypertension
Persistently high arterial blood pressure. Currently accepted threshold levels are 140 mm Hg systolic and 90 mm Hg
diastolic pressure.
Impotence
The inability to perform sexual intercourse.
Indigestion
Impaired digestion, especially after eating.
Infertility
The diminished or absent ability to conceive or produce an offspring while sterility is the complete inability to conceive or
produce an offspring.
Influenza
An acute viral infection involving the respiratory tract. It is marked by inflammation of the nasal mucosa, the pharynx, and
conjunctiva, and by headache and severe, often generalized, myalgia.
Insomnia
Disorders characterized by impairment of the ability to initiate or maintain sleep. This may occur as a primary disorder or in
association with another medical or psychiatric condition.
Menopause
The last menstrual period. Permanent cessation of menses is usually defined by 6 to 12 months of AMENORRHEA in a
woman over 45 years of age. In the United States, menopause generally occurs in women between 48 and 55 years of age.
Migraine
A subtype of vascular headaches characterized by periodic unilateral pulsatile headaches which begin in childhood,
adolescence, or early adult life and recur with diminishing frequency during advancing years. The two major subtypes are
CLASSIC MIGRAINE (i.e., migraine with aura) and COMMON MIGRAINE (i.e., migraine without aura). Migrainous episodes
may be associated with alterations in cerebral blood flow. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p172)
