LUNGS DISEASE

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Progressive lung disease


causing airflow obstruction, often due to long-term exposure to irritants like smoke.
Asthma: Chronic inflammation of airways leading to recurrent episodes of wheezing,
breathlessness, and coughing, triggered by various factors.
Pneumonia: Lung infection resulting in inflammation of lung tissue, causing
symptoms like fever, cough, and difficulty breathing.
Lung Cancer: Uncontrolled cell growth in lungs, often linked to smoking, leading to
symptoms such as cough, chest pain, and weight loss.
Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD): Group of disorders causing inflammation and
scarring of lung tissue, leading to dyspnea and reduced lung function.

BRAIN DISEASE

Stroke: Reduced blood flow to the brain, leading to brain damage and impairments
in functions like movement and speech.
Alzheimer's Disease: Progressive loss of memory, cognitive abilities, and behavior
changes due to brain cell death and tissue shrinkage.
Parkinson's Disease: Movement disorder caused by the loss of dopamine-
producing neurons in the brain, resulting in tremors, rigidity, and slow movement.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS): Autoimmune disorder damaging the protective myelin
sheath around nerve fibers, leading to various neurological symptoms.
Epilepsy: Neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures due to
abnormal brain activity.
HEART DISEASE

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Narrowing or blockage of blood vessels


supplying the heart, often leading to chest pain or heart attack.
Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction): Occurs when blood flow to part of the heart
is blocked, resulting in heart muscle damage.
Heart Failure: Heart's inability to pump blood effectively, causing symptoms like
shortness of breath and swelling.
Arrhythmia: Abnormal heart rhythms that can cause palpitations, dizziness, or
fainting.
Valvular Heart Disease: Conditions affecting heart valves, potentially leading to
inefficient blood flow.
Cardiomyopathy: Disease of the heart muscle itself, causing symptoms such as
fatigue and shortness of breath.
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): Narrowing of arteries in the limbs, often causing
leg pain and ireasing the risk of heart attack and stroke.

BONE DISEASE

Osteoporosis: Weakened bones prone to fractures due to an imbalance between


bone creation and removal.
Osteoarthritis: Degenerative joint disease causing cartilage deterioration, leading to
pain and stiffness.
Rheumatoid arthritis: Autoimmune disorder causing joint inflammation and damage.
Paget's disease of bone: Chronic disorder resulting in enlarged and misshapen
bones due to disrupted bone renewal.
Osteogenesis imperfecta: Genetic disorder causing fragile bones due to collagen
production defects.
Bone cancer: Various types originating in bones, causing pain and fractures as they
grow and spread.
Osteomyelitis: Bone infection, typically bacterial, often resulting from injury or
surgery.

STOMACH DISEASE

Gastritis: Inflammation of the stomach lining, often caused by infection, alcohol, or


NSAIDs.
Peptic ulcer disease: Sores on the stomach lining due to factors like H. pylori
infection or NSAID use.
GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease): Chronic acid reflux leading to
symptoms like heartburn and chest pain.
Gastroenteritis: Inflammation of the stomach and intestines usually caused by
infections.
Stomach cancer: alignant tumors in the stomach lining, with risk factors including H.
pylori infection and smoking.
Gastroparesis: Delayed stomach emptying, often due to nerve damage, particularly
in diabetic patients.
Functional dyspepsia: Chronic indigestion without an organic cause, characterized by
symptoms like early satiety and epigastric pain.
