INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis, a complex and challenging medical condition, occurs when tissue resembling the endometrial lining grows outside the uterus. Although distinct from typical endometrial tissue, these abnormal growths share certain characteristics, leading to a range of health implications. While these growths can appear anywhere in the body, they often target the pelvic region, including the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and uterine support tissues. Surprisingly, they can also infiltrate unexpected areas like the digestive tract, lungs, and even around the heart. Typically, during menstrual periods, the body naturally eliminates this kind of tissue. In endometriosis, however, this tissue stays inside the body,…

Introduction The Ebola virus, a powerful pathogen from the family Filoviridae, is well-known for being the pathogenic agent that causes Ebola Virus Disease (EVD). The Ebola River, which is close to the outbreak’s beginning, inspired the name of the disease, which was first discovered in 1976 amid outbreaks in Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The fast and sometimes deadly course of EVD, which is characterized by symptoms including fever, muscular discomfort, vomiting, and bleeding, is what makes it distinctive. It is thought that this zoonotic virus spreads to people when they come into contact with infected animals,…

These symptoms may be uncomfortable, and they may also result in skin color changes and blisters. Eczema is caused by allergies in certain people. Eczema fluctuates throughout time. It causes very sensitive and dry skin, and it can be exacerbated by being exposed to allergens like dust mites or pet dander. Cosmetics, soaps, detergents, and lotions with strong smells are additional popular triggers. Eczema can also get inflamed when exposed to cleaning…

Introduction The hereditary disorder Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), which predominantly affects the muscles and causes muscle weakness and eventually loss of muscle function, is severe and progressive. It is one of the most prevalent and disabling types of muscular dystrophy, generally detected in young boys. DMD is named for the 19th-century French neurologist Guillaume Duchenne, who initially identified the disorder. Mutations in the DMD gene, which is found on the X chromosome and encodes the protein dystrophin, which is crucial for the integrity of muscle cells, are the root cause of this genetic condition. Muscle fibers are more easily injured…

Introduction: A chromosome (trisomy 21) that is present in its entirety or in part results in the genetic condition known as Down syndrome (trisomy 21). The majority of patients have mild to severe intellectual disability, growth retardation, and distinctive facial traits when they first present. Down syndrome can influence a person’s mental capacity and physical development, lead to a variety of developmental differences, and increase their chance of developing certain health issues. Most people with Down syndrome have an extra copy of chromosome 21. A number of screenings can be used by medical experts to identify Down syndrome. The three…

INTRODUCTION: The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located at the front of the neck and controlled by the pituitary gland. Thyroid hormones play a vital role in the human body; hence, if the range of thyroid hormones fluctuates, it will cause many diseases like hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. In hypothyroidism, the level of thyroid decreases in the blood, which is a clinical syndrome characterized by a low metabolic state due to the low serum thyroid in the blood. Hypothyroidism is the most frequent clinical illness caused by thyroid hormone insufficiency and, if ignored, can result in major adverse health effects…

INtroduction Diphtheria is a bacterial illness that has traditionally been a major public health concern, producing severe respiratory and systemic consequences. This extremely infectious disease, caused by Corynebacterium diphtheria, predominantly affects the respiratory tract and can result in the production of a thick grayish-white membrane in the throat, restricting breathing and swallowing. Diphtheria has been the target of extensive medical research and public health initiatives, which have resulted in the development of effective vaccinations that have significantly decreased its prevalence and impact in many areas of the world. Diphtheria’s history is linked with the evolution of vaccination methods. Diphtheria was…

Introduction: Diarrhea is defined as the passage of three or more loose or liquid stools per day. Diarrhea is having more than 4 stools per day that are watery. This case is due to bacteria, viruses, or parasites. This digestive disorder can also cause chronic diarrhea, which is life-threatening. Chronic diarrhea makes people dehydrated due to its high range of motion and frequency. If a person frequently passes stools but they are of normal consistency, this is not diarrhea. Similarly, breastfed babies often pass loose, sticky stools. This is normal. If a person has had loose stools for more than…

Introduction: Diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by the pancreas’s insufficient insulin production. Insulin, a hormone, regulates blood sugar levels. Uncontrolled diabetes frequently results in hyperglycemia, also known as high blood glucose or elevated blood sugar, which can affect a variety of body systems, including neurons and blood vessels, over time. A glucose metabolic disorder characterized by the body’s impaired ability to produce or respond to insulin. As a result, keep healthy levels of sugar (glucose) in your blood. People with this disease typically have a high level of glucose in their blood, which can lead to a variety of…
