A chronic respiratory condition characterized by airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness.
A non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that commonly affects older men, causing lower urinary tract symptoms due to urethral compression.
An inflammation of the bronchial tubes, typically caused by viral infections, leading to cough with mucus production, chest discomfort, and sometimes fever.
Tissue damage caused by heat, chemicals, electricity, or radiation, classified by depth and extent of involvement, ranging from superficial to full-thickness injuries.
A progressive opacification of the crystalline lens of the eye, leading to gradual vision loss and potentially blindness if untreated.
An autoimmune enteropathy triggered by gluten ingestion in genetically predisposed individuals, causing inflammation and damage to the small intestinal mucosa.
A progressive loss of kidney function over months to years, leading to accumulation of waste products in the blood.
A late stage of liver fibrosis resulting from chronic liver injury, characterized by replacement of liver parenchyma with fibrous tissue and nodular regeneration.
A progressive lung disease characterized by chronic respiratory symptoms due to airway and alveolar abnormalities.
A condition where the coronary arteries become narrowed or blocked by atherosclerotic plaque, reducing blood flow to the heart muscle.
A chronic idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease that can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract, characterized by transmural inflammation with skip lesions.
A common and serious mood disorder that causes persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest in daily activities.
An inflammatory skin condition characterized by redness, itching, and various skin lesions, caused by irritants, allergens, or endogenous factors.
Inflammation and infection of diverticula (small pouches) in the colonic wall, most commonly in the sigmoid colon, causing acute abdominal pain and systemic symptoms.
A chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by dry, itchy, and inflamed skin, often starting in childhood.
A chronic digestive disorder where stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus, causing irritation and inflammation.
A group of optic neuropathies characterized by progressive degeneration of the optic nerve, often associated with elevated intraocular pressure, leading to irreversible vision loss.
A form of inflammatory arthritis caused by deposition of monosodium urate crystals in joints and tissues, resulting from persistent hyperuricemia.
A potentially life-threatening liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV), which can cause acute or chronic disease and increases the risk of cirrhosis and liver cancer.
A viral infection of the liver caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV), often leading to chronic hepatitis and potentially progressing to cirrhosis or liver cancer.
A common viral infection caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) or type 2 (HSV-2), characterized by recurrent vesicular lesions on the oral or genital mucosa.
A chronic viral infection caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that attacks CD4+ T cells, progressively destroying the immune system and potentially leading to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
Hypertension is a medical condition affecting the Cardiovascular system characterized by specific physiological changes. Key aspects include blood pressure, heart. Early diagnosis and appropriate management are essential for optimal health outcomes.
A condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones, slowing down the body's metabolism.
A highly contagious acute respiratory illness caused by influenza A or B viruses, characterized by sudden onset of fever, myalgia, headache, and respiratory symptoms.
A sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or obtaining restorative sleep despite adequate opportunity, causing daytime functional impairment.
A chronic functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel habits, without detectable structural abnormalities.
A degenerative joint disease of the knee characterized by progressive loss of articular cartilage, subchondral bone changes, and joint inflammation, causing pain and functional impairment.
A progressive degenerative disease of the macula, the central portion of the retina, causing gradual loss of central vision while peripheral vision remains intact.
A common and serious mood disorder that causes persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest in daily activities, significantly impairing quality of life.
A life-threatening mosquito-borne infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasites, characterized by fever, chills, and flu-like symptoms, transmitted through the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes.

A degenerative joint disease causing cartilage breakdown and pain.
A systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to increased bone fragility and fracture risk.
A progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, leading to characteristic motor symptoms including tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability.
A condition characterized by open sores (ulcers) in the lining of the stomach or duodenum, caused by mucosal damage from gastric acid and pepsin.
An acute infection of the lung parenchyma causing inflammation and consolidation, commonly caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi, presenting with fever, cough, and respiratory compromise.
A chronic immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease characterized by well-demarcated erythematous plaques with silvery scales, resulting from accelerated epidermal turnover.
