1. Paget's disease: interferes with your body's normal recycling process, in which
new bone tissue gradually replaces old bone tissue. Over time, the disease can
cause affected bones to become fragile and misshapen
commonly occurs in the pelvis, skull, spine and legs.
Symptoms: Hearing loss; Bone fracture, with accentuated trabeculations and thick-
ened cortex.
2. Impetigo: bacterial skin infection usually on the nasolabial areas of the face
characterized by honey colored isolated pustules that become crusted and rupture
3. ectopic pregnancy: implantation of the fertilized egg in any site other than the
normal uterine location. M/C in the uterine tubes.
symptoms: pelvic pain, Amenorrhea, and vaginal bleeding.
4. Mumps: AKA: parotitis
viral infection that effects the salivary and parotid glands.
Symptoms include swollen, painful salivary glands, fever, headache, fatigue, and
appetite loss. commonly causes ORCHITIS
5. Primary syphilis: Painless sores appear at the site of infection (mouth, anus,
rectum, vagina, or penis).
sores heal on their own after 3 to 6 weeks
6. Secondary syphilis: rash on palms/soles, condyloma lata, generalized lym-
phadenopathy, low grade fever, moth eaten alopecia. common cause of flat top
genital warts.
7. myofascial pain syndrome: disorder in which pressure is put on sensitive points
in the muscles causes pain in seemingly unrelated body parts. The syndrome often
happens after repeated injury or muscle overuse.
Symptoms include persistent pain or a tender muscle knot. Can also be caused by
exposure to cold temps.
8. Tertiary Siphilis: begins when symptoms from the secondary stage disappear.
Infection isn't contagious at this point, but the infection has started to affect organs.
Symptoms: problems with muscle control, numbness, vision problems, and demen-
tia.

--A GUMMA is caused by the bacteria that cause syphilis.mass of dead and swollen
fiber-like tissue. It is most often seen in the liver
9. Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA): complication where the body produces excess
blood acids (ketones), condition occurs when there isn't enough insulin in the body.
It can be triggered by infection or other illness.
Symptom: thirst, frequent urination, nausea, abdominal pain, weakness, fruity-scent-
ed breath, and confusion.
10. hemolysis: the rupture or destruction of red blood cells.
associated symptoms: blue tinge to sclera, SOB, Weakness, dizzy, pale skin tone.
11. Erythropoietin: A hormone produced and released by the kidney that stimulates
the production of red blood cells by the bone marrow.
12. Renin: hormone secreted by the kidney; it raises blood pressure by influencing
vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels)
13. Trichmonas vaginalis: STI that causes a foul-smelling green vaginal discharge,
genital itching, and painful urination in women. Men typically have no symptoms.
Complications include a risk of premature delivery for pregnant women.
14. Turner Syndrome: AKA: Gonadal dysgenesis
A chromosomal disorder in which a female is born with only one X chromosome
Symptoms include short stature, webbed neck, delayed puberty, Amenorrhea, infer-
tility, heart defects, and certain learning disabilities.
15. premenstral syndrome: A group of symptoms that occur in women, typically
between ovulation and a period.
Symptoms include mood swings, tender breasts, food cravings, fatigue, irritability,
and depression.
16. contrast venography: x-ray examination that uses an injection of contrast
material to show how blood flows through veins. Doctors may use it to find blood
clots, identify a vein for use in a bypass procedure or dialysis access, or to assess
varicose veins before surgery.
17. Chancroid: Haemophilus ducreyi, painful soft ulcers
18. condyloma acuminatum: lesion that appears as a result of HUMAN PAPILO-
MA VIRUS; on the skin, lesions appear as cauliflower-like warts, and on mucous
membranes, they have a flat appearance; also known as venereal or genital warts

19. papilledema: a condition in which increased pressure in or around the brain
causes the part of the optic nerve inside the eye to swell. Symptoms = transient
vision loss, headache, or vomiting.
Causes= 1-hypertension, 2- intracranial pressure, 3- SOL in the brain, 4- Vit A
toxicity.
grading scale=frisen scale.
Immediate referral for CT or MRI. if normal=lumbar puncture.
20. chronic gastritis: Appears as a patchy, diffuse inflammation of the mucous
lining of the stomach. Appears to be associated with an increased risk for gastric
cancer and a B12 deficiency.
21. Hodgkin's lymphoma: cancer that originates from a specific type of white blood
cells called lymphocytes. Symptoms may include supraclavicular nodule, fever, night
sweats, and weight loss. Often there will be non-painful enlarged lymph nodes in the
neck, under the arm, or in the groin.
Dx with biopsy looking for REED STERNBERG CELLS. Unilateral hilar lym-
phadenopathy. **males too tired for sex**
22. Lanois deformity: fibular deviation of the MTP digits
finding of RA
23. Whiplash symptoms: Neck pain and stiffness.
Headache.
Pain in the shoulder or between the shoulder blades.
Low back pain.
Pain or numbness in the arm and/or hand.
Dizziness.
difficulty concentrating or remembering.
irritability.
sleep disturbances.
fatigue.
24. Pastia's lines: linear petichiae on antecubital fossa; a/w SCARLET FEVER
25. septic arthritis: AKA: infectious arthritis
Usually caused by bacteria. It can also be caused by a virus or fungus. Inflammation
