Pubmed Vascular Diseases The vascular system is the body's network of blood vessels. It includes the arteries, veins and capillaries that carry blood to and from the heart. Problems of the vascular system are common and can be serious. Arteries can become thick and stiff, a problem called arteriosclerosis. Blood clots can clog vessels and block blood flow to the heart or brain. Weakened blood vessels can burst, causing bleeding inside the body. MedlinePlus health topic
Pubmed Neoplasms by Histologic Type A collective term for the various histological types of neoplasms. MeSH Definition
Pubmed Central Nervous System Diseases Diseases of the Central Nervous System (CNS). The CNS contains the majority of the nervous system, and consists of the brain (in vertebrates which have brains), and the spinal cord. Together with the peripheral nervous system, it has a fundamental role in the control of behavior. The CNS is contained within the dorsal cavity, with the brain within the cranial cavity, and the spinal cord in the spinal cavity. The brain is also protected by the skull, and the spinal cord is, in vertebrates, also protected by the vertebrae. Wikipedia

Pubmed Heart Diseases Heart disease is the number one killer in the U.S. It is also a major cause of disability. The most common cause of heart disease is narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries, the blood vessels that supply blood to the heart itself. This is called coronary artery disease and happens slowly over time. It's the major reason people have heart attacks. MedlinePlus health topic

Pubmed Bacterial Infections Bacteria are living things that have only one cell. Under a microscope, they look like balls, rods or spirals. Most bacteria won't hurt you - less than 1 percent makes people sick. Many are helpful. But infectious bacteria can make you ill. They reproduce quickly in your body. Many give off chemicals called toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick. Examples of bacteria that cause infections include Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and E. coli.

Pubmed Wounds and Injuries Injury is damage or harm caused to the structure or function of the body caused by an outside agent or force, which may be physical or chemical. Injury may also refer to injured feelings or reputation rather than injuries to the body. A severe and perhaps life-threatening injury is called a physical trauma. Wikipedia
Pubmed Lung Diseases When you breathe, your lungs take in oxygen from the air and deliver it to the bloodstream. The cells in your body need oxygen to work and grow. During a normal day, you breathe nearly 25,000 times. People with lung disease have difficulty breathing. Millions of people in the U.S. have lung disease. If all types of lung disease are lumped together, it is the number three killer in the United States. MedlinePlus health topic
Pubmed Gastrointestinal Diseases All diseases that pertain to the gastrointestinal tract are labelled as digestive diseases. This includes diseases of the esophagus, stomach, first, second and third part of the duodenum, jejunum, ileum, the ileo-cecal complex, large intestine (ascending, transverse and descending colon) sigmoid colon and rectum.

Pubmed Urologic Diseases Pathological processes of the urinary tract in both males and females. MeSH Definition
Pubmed Neoplasms, Glandular and Epithelial Neoplasms composed of glandular tissue, an aggregation of epithelial cells that elaborate secretions, and of any type of epithelium itself. The concept does not refer to neoplasms located in the various glands or in epithelial tissue. MeSH Definition
Pubmed Infection Infection is the general term for invasion and growth of microorganisms in bodily tissues. GHR - Glossary
Pubmed Metabolic Diseases Generic term for diseases caused by an abnormal metabolic process. It can be congenital due to inherited enzyme abnormality or acquired due to disease of an endocrine organ or failure of a metabolically important organ such as the liver. MeSH Definition
Pubmed Hematologic Diseases Diseases of the blood and related organs. Hematology is the branch of medicine that is concerned with the study of blood, the blood-forming organs, and blood diseases. Hematology includes the study of etiology, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and prevention of blood diseases. Wikipedia
Pubmed Carcinoma A malignant neoplasm made up of epithelial cells tending to infiltrate the surrounding tissues and give rise to metastases. It is a histological type of neoplasm but is often wrongly used as a synonym for cancer. GHR - Glossary
Pubmed RNA Virus Infections An RNA virus is a virus that has RNA (ribonucleic acid) as its genetic material. This nucleic acid is usually single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) but may be double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). The ICTV classifies RNA viruses as those that belong to Group III, Group IV or Group V of the Baltimore classification system of classifying viruses, and does not consider viruses with DNA intermediates as RNA viruses. Notable human diseases caused by RNA viruses include SARS, influenza and hepatitis C. Wikipedia
Pubmed Postoperative Complications Pathologic processes that affect patients after a surgical procedure. They may or may not be related to the disease for which the surgery was done, and they may or may not be direct results of the surgery. MeSH Definition
Pubmed Kidney Diseases Your kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, each about the size of your fists. They are located near the middle of your back, just below the rib cage. Inside each kidney about a million tiny structures called nephrons filter blood. They remove waste products and extra water, which become urine. The urine flows through tubes called ureters to your bladder, which stores the urine until you go to the bathroom. Damage to the nephrons results in kidney disease. This damage may leave kidneys unable to remove wastes. Usually the damage occurs slowly over years. MedlinePlus health topic
Pubmed Congenital Abnormalities Malformations of organs or body parts during development in utero. MeSH Definition
Pubmed Pathological Conditions, Anatomical An abnormal structural condition of the human body, usually macroscopic, that is common to a variety of different diseases. MeSH Definition
Pubmed Bone Diseases Your bones help you move, give you shape and support your body. They are living tissues that rebuild constantly throughout your life. There are many kinds of bone problems: Osteoporosis makes your bones weak and more likely to break. Osteogenesis imperfecta makes your bones brittle. Bones can also develop cancer. Other bone diseases are caused by poor nutrition, genetic factors or problems with the rate of bone growth or rebuilding. MedlinePlus health topic
Pubmed Intestinal Diseases Diseases of the intestine. In anatomy, the intestine is the segment of the alimentary canal extending from the stomach to the anus and, in humans and other mammals, consists of two segments, the small intestine and the large intestine. In humans, the small intestine is further subdivided into the duodenum, jejunum and ileum while the large intestine is subdivided into the cecum and colon. Wikipedia
Pubmed Digestive System Neoplasms Digestive system neoplasms are tumors which affect the digestive system. Wikipedia
Pubmed Liver Diseases Your liver is the largest organ inside your body. It is also one of the most important. The liver has many jobs, including changing food into energy and cleaning alcohol and poisons from the blood. Your liver also makes bile, a yellowish-green liquid that helps with digestion. There are many kinds of liver diseases. Viruses cause some of them, like hepatitis A, hepatitis B and hepatitis C. Others can be the result of drugs, poisons or drinking too much alcohol. If the liver forms scar tissue because of an illness, it's called cirrhosis. Jaundice, or yellowing of the skin, can be one sign of liver disease. MedlinePlus health topic
Pubmed Myocardial Ischemia Ischaemic or ischemic heart disease (IHD), or myocardial ischemia, is a disease characterized by reduced blood supply to the heart muscle, usually due to coronary artery disease (atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries). Its risk increases with age, smoking, hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol levels), diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure) and is more common in men and those who have close relatives with ischaemic heart disease.
