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 compensation
The kidneys have two main ways to maintain acid-base 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.
Does cell shrink or swell ?
Vasoconstriction
Marfan Syndrome - Autosomal dominant trait
This condition is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern ,
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
