Pubmed Blood Protein Disorders Blood protein disorders are conditions in which there is a deviation from or interruption of the normal structure or function of the blood proteins. Wikipedia
Pubmed Flaviviridae Infections Infections with viruses of the family flaviviridae which are a family of single-stranded RNA-containing viruses that cause haemorrhagic fever in a wide range of mammals and are transmitted by mosquitos and ticks. Wikipedia
Pubmed Peripheral Nervous System Diseases Diseases of the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS). The PNS resides or extends outside the central nervous system (CNS), which consists of the brain and spinal cord, to serve the limbs and organs. Unlike the central nervous system, however, the PNS is not protected by bone, leaving it exposed to toxins and mechanical injuries. The peripheral nervous system is divided into the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. Wikipedia
Pubmed Neoplasms by Site A collective term for precoordinated organ/neoplasm headings locating neoplasms by organ, as brain neoplasms, duodenal neoplasms, etc. MeSH Definition
Pubmed Central Nervous System Infections The central nervous system (CNS) of the vertebrate nervous system which is enclosed in meninges. It 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. [1] Wikipedia
Pubmed Neoplasms by Histologic Type A collective term for the various histological types of neoplasms. MeSH Definition
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 Neuromuscular Diseases Neuromuscular disease is a very broad term that encompasses many diseases and ailments that either directly, via intrinsic muscle pathology, or indirectly, via nerve pathology, impair the functioning of the muscles. 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 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 Female Urogenital Diseases Pathological processes of the female urinary tract and the reproductive system. MeSH Definition
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 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 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 Digestive System Neoplasms Digestive system neoplasms are tumors which affect the digestive system. Wikipedia
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 Neurologic Manifestations Clinical signs and symptoms caused by nervous system injury or dysfunction. MeSH Definition
Pubmed Urologic Diseases Pathological processes of the urinary tract in both males and females. MeSH Definition
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 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 Sexually Transmitted Diseases Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections that you can get from having sex with someone who has the infection. The causes of STDs are bacteria, parasites and viruses. There are more than 20 types of STDs. MedlinePlus health topic
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 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 Immunoproliferative Disorders Immunoproliferative disorders (also known as “immunoproliferative diseases” or “immunoproliferative neoplasms”) are disorders of the immune system that are characterized by the abnormal proliferation of the primary cells of the immune system, which includes B cells, T cells and Natural killer (NK) cells, or by the excessive production of immunoglobulins (also known as antibodies).

Pubmed Neoplasms, Nerve Tissue Neoplasms composed of nerve tissue. This concept does not refer to neoplasms located in the nervous system or its component nerves. MeSH Definition
Pubmed Gram-Positive Bacterial Infections Gram-positive bacteria are those that are stained dark blue or violet by Gram staining. This is in contrast to Gram-negative bacteria, which cannot retain the crystal violet stain, instead taking up the counterstain (safranin) and appearing red or pink. Gram-positive organisms are able to retain the crystal violet stain because of the high amount of peptidoglycan in the cell wall. Gram-positive cell walls typically lack the outer membrane found in Gram-negative bacteria. Wikipedia
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
