  Arthritis Overview Arthritis is a condition in which one or more joints enlarge and become tender. Joint pain and stiffness are the most common symptoms of arthritis, which normally worsen with age. Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are the two most frequent kinds of arthritis. Cartilage — the firm, slippery tissue that covers the ends of bones where they form a joint — breaks down as a result of osteoarthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is a condition in which the body's immune system destroys the joints, starting with the joint lining. Gout is caused by uric acid crystals that grow when there is too much uric acid in your blood. Other types of arthritis can be caused by infections or underlying diseases like psoriasis or lupus. Symptoms The joints are the most commonly affected by arthritis signs and symptoms. Depending on the type of arthritis, the following signs and symptoms may occur: Pain Stiffness Swelling Redness Reduced range of motion Causes of Osteoarthritis Osteoart...

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Chronic kidney disease, commonly known as chronic renal disease or CKD, is a disorder in which kidney function gradually deteriorates over time. Complications Chronic kidney disease refers to a group of disorders that harm your kidneys and impair their ability to keep you healthy by filtering waste from your blood. If your kidney condition develops, wastes in your blood might build up to dangerously high levels, making you unwell. Complications may arise, such as: Anemia and high blood pressure (low blood count) brittle bones nutritional deficiency injury to the nerves Kidney disease raises your chances of developing heart and blood vessel problems. These issues may develop gradually over time. Early detection and treatment can typically prevent the progression of chronic renal disease. When kidney disease continues, it can lead to renal failure, which necessitates dialysis or a kidney transplant in order to stay alive. Causes Two-thirds of chronic kidney d...

What is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) PCOS is a condition in which the ovaries produce an abnormal amount of androgens, male sex hormones that are normally present in small amounts in women. The term polycystic ovary syndrome refers to a condition in which the ovaries develop a large number of small cysts (fluid-filled sacs). However, some women with this disorder do not develop cysts, whereas some women without the disorder do. When a mature egg is released from an ovary, this is referred to as ovulation. This occurs in order for it to be fertilized by a male sperm. If the egg does not become fertilized, it is expelled from the body during your period. In some cases, a woman does not produce enough of the hormones required for ovulation. When ovulation does not occur, the ovaries can develop a large number of small cysts. These cysts produce androgens, which are hormones. Women with PCOS frequently have elevated levels of androgens. This can wreak havoc on a woman's menstrual c...

What is cirrhosis? Cirrhosis is a late-stage liver condition in which good liver tissue is replaced by scar tissue, causing permanent damage to the liver. Scar tissue obstructs your liver's ability to function normally. Healthy liver cells are injured by a variety of diseases and situations, resulting in cell death and inflammation. This is followed by cell repair and, as a result of the repair process, tissue scarring. The scar tissue reduces the liver's capacity to metabolize nutrients, hormones, medicines, and natural toxins by blocking blood flow through the liver (poisons). It also lowers the liver's production of proteins and other chemicals. Cirrhosis impairs the liver's ability to function correctly over time. Cirrhosis in its late stages can be fatal. Prevalence Cirrhosis of the liver, according to scientists, affects around one in every 400 persons in the United States. Cirrhosis affects around one in every 200 adults aged 45 to 54, the age group most typicall...

Overview Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral disease that has recently spread to all WHO regions. Female mosquitoes, primarily Aedes aegypti and, to a lesser extent, Aedes albopictus, transmit dengue virus. These mosquitos also transmit the chikungunya, yellow fever, and Zika viruses. Dengue fever is common throughout the tropics, with local variations in risk influenced by climate as well as social and environmental factors. Dengue causes a wide range of diseases. This can range from subclinical disease (where people are unaware they are infected) to severe flu-like symptoms in those who are infected. Although it is less common, some people develop severe dengue, which can result in a variety of complications such as severe bleeding, organ impairment, and/or plasma leakage. Severe dengue has a higher risk of death if not treated properly. Severe dengue was first identified during dengue epidemics in the Philippines and Thailand in the 1950s. Severe dengue fever now affects the majo...

  Malaria  Malaria is a potentially fatal disease caused by a parasite that infects a specific type of mosquito that feeds on humans. Malaria typically causes severe illness, including high fevers, shaking chills, and flu-like symptoms. Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium ovale, and Plasmodium malariae are the four types of malaria parasites that infect humans. Furthermore, P. knowlesi, a type of malaria that naturally infects macaques in Southeast Asia, infects humans as well, resulting in malaria that is transmitted from animal to human ("zoonotic" malaria). P. falciparum malaria is the most likely to cause severe infections and, if not treated promptly, may result in death. Each year, approximately 2,000 cases of malaria are diagnosed in the United States. The vast majority of cases in the United States are in travelers and immigrants returning from malaria-endemic areas of the world, such as Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Globally, the World Health Org...

  Overview Tuberculosis (TB) is a potentially fatal infectious illness affecting mostly the lungs. Tuberculosis bacteria are communicated from person to person via minute droplets discharged into the air by coughs and sneezes. In 1985, tuberculosis infections began to rise in affluent countries, mainly due to the advent of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. HIV affects a person's immune system, making it unable to combat tuberculosis germs. In the United States, tuberculosis began to decline again in 1993 as a result of improved control strategies. However, it is still a source of concern. Many tuberculosis strains are resistant to the most commonly used antituberculosis medications. Active tuberculosis patients must take a variety of drugs for months to clear the infection. Symptoms Although the germs that cause tuberculosis can live in your body, your immune system can usually keep you from getting sick. As a result, doctors distinguish between the following: You have a tuberculosi...

  Covid19 vaccines were a true breakthrough, the result of dazzling scientific progress, significant investment, and plain old good fortune. The vaccines are safer and more effective than many public health professionals hoped for at the beginning of the pandemic. Covid vaccines were ready quickly, but not hurriedly — no safety corners were cut in the development of these vaccines. Massive investment and more than 20 years of research on mRNA technology have brought us to this point Although vaccination can help us gain an advantage over the virus, we still face significant challenges. The first is a lack of access — there simply isn't enough vaccine to meet global demand, and, unfortunately, we're about to hit a dry spell in the coming months, just as the disease is roaring back in many parts of the world. Expanding vaccination access will go a long way toward reaching the unvaccinated, but we must also address the questions and concerns that are preventing some people from g...
