Disease Symptoms and Effects

Cancers derived from epithelial cells. This group includes many of the most common cancers, particularly in the aged, and include nearly all those developing in the breast, prostate, lung, pancreas, and colon.

Refers to a heterogeneous group of high-grade carcinomas that feature cells lacking distinct histological or cytological evidence of any of the more specifically differentiated neoplasms. These tumors are referred to as anaplastic or undifferentiated carcinomas.

Trachoma is a bacterial infection of the eye caused by Chlamydia trachomatis. It is the world's leading infectious cause of blindness and affects the conjunctiva and cornea. It does not affect the throat, lungs, or liver.

Transmission of cholera occurs primarily by drinking water or eating food that has been contaminated by the feces (waste product) of an infected person, including one with no apparent symptoms.

Epidemics are outbreak diseases that attack many people at the same time and spread very quickly.

Pain in the loin is typical of a urinary tract infection and depending on the infection, the pain may be felt anywhere from the loin to the genitalia . The pain is caused by obstruction to urine flow and subsequent distension and sometimes spasm of the ureters and collecting system upstream of the obstruction.

Cauterization is the burning of part of a body to remove or close off a part of it.

Guillain Barre syndrome show evidence of slowing of nerve conduction as the condition is an acute demyelinating inflammatory neuropathy affecting all peripheral nerves as well as some of the cranial nerves.

Meningitis is inflammation of the meninges. The meninges is the collective name for the three membranes that envelope the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system), called the dura mater, the arachnoid mater, and the pia mater. The meninges' main function, alongside the cerebrospinal fluid is to protect the central nervous system.

Japanese encephalitis is a viral brain infection transmitted by mosquitoes, often colloquially called 'brain fever' due to the inflammation and swelling of brain tissue it causes. Diabetes is a metabolic disorder, diarrhoea is a gastrointestinal condition, and malaria is a blood infection affecting different systems entirely.

Hepatitis specifically causes inflammation of the liver, whether from viral infection (Hepatitis A, B, C), alcohol, toxins, or autoimmune conditions. Kala-azar primarily affects the spleen and liver but is a parasitic disease called visceral leishmaniasis, SARS is a respiratory illness, and amoebiasis mainly infects the intestines.

Diarrhoea is fundamentally a gastrointestinal disorder involving frequent loose or watery bowel movements, typically caused by infections, toxins, or malabsorption in the digestive tract. It does not involve the brain, lungs, or kidneys as primary affected organs.

Jaundice occurs when the liver cannot properly process bilirubin (a breakdown product of red blood cells), causing yellowing of skin and eyes. While other organs may be affected in various diseases, jaundice specifically indicates liver dysfunction.

Diarrhea is characterized by frequent loose or watery bowel movements, leading to excessive fluid loss and dehydration. Malaria is caused by a parasite spread by mosquitoes, tuberculosis is a bacterial lung infection, and tetanus is a nervous system infection - none primarily cause dehydration through loose motions.

Tuberculosis is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which primarily infects the lungs. While TB can affect other organs (extrapulmonary TB), the lungs are the most common and primary site of infection when the bacteria enter the body. The gut, heart, and brain are not the typical entry points or primary targets.
