Question

write about any five disease and ailments

Answer 1

1. LIVER DISEASE

There are many diseases and disorders that can cause the liver to stop functioning properly. Some of the different causes of liver disease include viral infection, alcohol or other environmental toxins, autoimmune disease and genetics. These contributing factors can lead to a variety of types of liver disorders, such as hepatitis, fatty liver disease, alcoholic hepatitis, cancer or cirrhosis.

The symptoms of liver disease can greatly decrease the quality of life for those afflicted and can even lead to death. Common symptoms can include abdominal pain, jaundice, digestive and metabolism problems, abnormal absorption of fats as well as nervous system disorders.

In the United States, there are more than 38,000 deaths each year attributed to chronic liver disease or cirrhosis. Liver disease is generally managed by slowing down disease progression, for some types with lifestyle changes such as eliminating alcohol, improving diet and exercising regularly and in other cases with anti-viral or immunosuppressive medications.

2.CANCER

Cancer represents more than 200 different types of malignancies—diseases caused by the uncontrolled and destructive growth of cells. When cancer cells grow unregulated, they can develop into tumors, invade nearby parts of the body and spread throughout the body. Treatment generally involves some combination of chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery.

Nearly 1.7 million Americans will discover that they have cancer this year. This devastating disease is the second leading cause of death in the United States. But breakthroughs in medical science are gaining ground in the battle with cancer.

3. HEART DISEASE

Heart disease encompasses many diseases of the heart and blood vessels, such as high blood pressure, heart attacks, angina pectoris (chest pain or discomfort caused by a reduced blood supply to the heart muscle), stroke and heart failure. Coronary artery disease (heart attack and angina pectoris) is usually caused by atherosclerosis, the narrowing of the coronary arteries due to fatty build ups of plaque.

Heart disease (cardiovascular disease) is the single leading cause of death in America today. It affects approximately 81 million people in the United States. In addition, more than 6 million Americans are now living with heart failure, a number that is expected to double within the next decade. Current interventions to prevent and treat heart disease focus on improving the blood supply to the heart muscle, but there is no available treatment, short of a heart transplant, to replace the heart muscle cells that have been lost during a heart attack.

4. CELIAC DISEASE

Celiac disease occurs when the immune system attacks the small intestine after exposure to gluten (a protein found in wheat, rye and barley). This causes inflammation and damage to the small intestine, which can prevent the absorption of water and nutrients into the body. Celiac disease is also known as coeliac disease, celiac sprue, non-tropical sprue, and gluten sensitive enteropathy. Celiac disease is hereditary, meaning that it runs in families. About 1 in 10 people with a first-degree relative with celiac disease (parent, child and/or sibling) will develop celiac disease.

Celiac disease is estimated to affect 1 in 100 people in the United States and its incidence appears to be rising. In addition, 2.5 million Americans are undiagnosed and may be at risk for long-term health complications. Celiac disease can develop at any age, affecting both children and adults. Left untreated, celiac disease can lead to additional serious health problems. These include nutritional deficiencies, anemia, increased risk of infections, osteoporosis, dermatitis herpetiformis (an itchy skin rash), infertility or miscarriage, neurological conditions including seizures and migraines, and intestinal cancers.

5.SCLERODERMA

Scleroderma is a rheumatic autoimmune disease of the connective tissue which causes skin thickening, spontaneous scarring, blood vessel disease and varying degrees of inflammation. As there is currently no cure for scleroderma, treatments generally focus on minimizing particular symptoms.

In the United States, approximately, 300,000 people (1 in 1000) are affected by scleroderma. Although it is a rare disease, it can be devastating, and finding new treatments is vital. Women are four times more likely to be diagnosed with the disease. While it appears to run in families, as of yet, no gene associated with the disease has been identified.
