“Diseases”  

Disease

  In our body, a Diseases refer to specific pathological process and conditions with well-defined clinical characteristics, signs, symptoms. These conditions can affect the entire body or specific parts of it.
  Diseases may have various causes, including infections, genetic abnormalities, environmental factors, lifestyle choices, and more, the pathology and prognosis of the diseases may be known or unknown.

Clinical Features

Diseases exhibit distinct clinical features, usually diagnosable based on standardized criteria, which may include specific symptoms, physical examination findings, laboratory tests, imaging studies, and other diagnostic methods.

Static & Dynamic Systems Disease Paths

Static & Dynamic Systems Disease Paths: Diseases can be categorized based on their effects on different systems in the body. Inflammation and tumorigenesis are examples of pathological changes related to cells, which are the smallest dynamic systems in the body. Inflammation involves the body's immune response to infection or injury, while tumorigenesis is the process of tumor formation.

Degeneration

Degeneration is a pathologic change related to small vesicles, which are the smallest static systems in the body, involving the deterioration of cells or tissues over time.

Etiology and Pathology

Understanding the etiology (cause) and pathology (nature) of diseases is essential for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. The causes of diseases can vary widely, and in some cases, they may be well understood, while in others, they remain unknown or complex.

Prognosis

Prognosis refers to the expected course and outcome of a disease. It can range from mild and self-limiting conditions to severe and potentially life-threatening illnesses. Prognosis often depends on the specific disease, its stage at diagnosis, and the effectiveness of available treatments.

Diagnosis and Treatments

Diagnosis of diseases involves identifying the specific condition affecting an individual through a comprehensive evaluation of symptoms, physical examination, laboratory tests, and other diagnostic tools.

Once diagnosed, appropriate treatments, including medications, lifestyle modifications, and therapies, can be prescribed to manage or cure the disease.

  Examples of subsets, conditions, concepts, subjects and other related entities of diseases include:

infections infectious associated diseases (IAD) bacterial infections and mycoses infectious dis-ease parasitic infestation and infestation neoplasms musculoskeletal dis-eases digestive system dis-eases stomatognathic dis-eases respiratory tract dis-ease otorhinolaryngologic dis-eases nervous system dis-eases eye dis-eases cardiovascular dis-eases hemic and lymphatic dis-eases

urogenital diseases & dis-orders male urogenital dis-ease female urogenital diseases & pregnancy complications pregnancy complication female genitourinary diseases (female urogenital diseases) upper and common urogenital diseases congenital, hereditary, & neonatal diseases & abnormalities tissue diseases and health challenges skin and connective tissue dis-eases connective tissue dis-ease nutritional and metabolic dis-eases & dis-orders endocrine system dis-eases (endocrinopathies) immune system dis-eases dis-orders of environmental origin pathological conditions, signs and symptoms chemically-induced dis-orders wounds and injuries

“Named Diseases”  

  Some dis-eases have been named after the person who first described the condition. Rarely an eponymous disease may be named after a patient (examples include Lou Gehrig's disease and Mortimer's disease).

Related disease namings include place names (Bornholm disease, Lyme disease, Ebola hemorrhagic fever) and even societies (Legionnaires' disease). **

“Nutritional Deficiency Diseases”  

Deficiency Disease

  In our body, the nutritional dis-order, Nutritional Deficiency Disease is a condition produced by dietary, enzymatic, or metabolic deficiency, including any dis-eases caused by an insufficient supply of an essential nutrient or an inadequacy of dietary calories. **

“Inflammation”  

Joints & Inflammation

  In our body, we all want to keep our joints (articulations) flexible and healthy, but over time the joint tissues become damaged and begin losing their ability to cushion and protect. With this loss, bones and cartilage begin to break down, causing pain and reduced joint function. **

“Tumorigenesis”  

  In our body, Tumorigenesis is a multistep process of a transformation in a normal cell into a into highly malignant derivative cell (cancer cell), which occurs when a tissue causes strong enough tissue distortion that it causes a tumor to form at the peak of the tissue distortion.
  Angiogenesis is an essential physiological multistep procedure involved in tumorigenesis. **
