Diseases of the circulatory system= atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis is clotting in artery and blood vestals that leads to stock and heart attack. Is curable with medicine and can be stopped with good diet.

Male reproductive system Priapism

Priapism refers to a painful and prolonged erection, says the Mayo Clinic. It states that priapism is common in boys between five and 10 years old and in men between 20 and 50 years old.

Priapism may be due to such diseases as sickle cell anemia and leukemia. It may also be due to such prescription medications as sildenafil, fluoxetine, diazepam and warfarin. Blood clots, spinal cord injury and cocaine are some other causes of priapism.

Treating priapism involves draining the penis with a needle (aspiration) and taking medications such as phenylephrine. Surgery may be necessary to place a shunt into the penis.

female reproductive system

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) – although males have a closed abdominal cavity, the female abdominal cavity has a direct anatomical path from the outside world via the female reproductive tract. Bacteria can make their way up the vagina, through the uterus, and traverse the uterine tubes which open into the abdominal cavity. Inflammation of the lining of the abdominal cavity, the peritoneum, causes abdominal pain. Although there are many potential causes of PID, gonorrheal infection is one of them. Chronic Inflammation of the uterine tubes can occlude them resulting in infertility.

The treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) addresses the relief of acute symptoms, eradication of current infection, and minimization of the risk of long-term sequelae. These sequelae, including chronic pelvic pain, ectopic pregnancy, tubal factor infertility (TFI), and implantation failure with in vitro fertilization attempts, may occur in up to 25% of patients.

disorders of the skeletal/muscular system= Bursitis

Bursitis Bursitis is a disorder that causes pain in the body's joints. It

most commonly affects the shoulder and hip joints. It is caused by an inflammation of the bursa, small fluid-filled bags that act as lubricating surfaces for muscles to move over bones. This inflammation usually results from overactivity of an arm or leg.

The first step of shoulder bursitis treatment is to decrease the inflammation. This is best done by avoiding the problems that cause inflammation. The best rule of thumb to follow: 'If it causes pain, don't do it!' This includes simple activities such as reaching high objects or reaching behind yourself you may require surgery.

Nervous system disorder Wallenberg’s syndrome

Wallenberg’s syndrome is a neurological condition caused by a stroke in the vertebral or posterior inferior cerebella artery of the brain stem. 

Wallenberg's syndrome was first described in 1808 by the Geneva physician Gasped Viesseux (1746-1814)

Wallenberg's syndrome can be treated . Treatment will depend on the severity of symptoms. Treatments are aimed at controlling the symptoms.

Disorder of waste systems= kidney stones

A kidney stone is a hard mass developed from crystals that separate from the urine and build up on the inner surfaces of the kidney. Usually, the chemicals in urine prevents the kidney stones from forming. However, sometimes the chemicals are faulty and kidney stones are produces.

The exact cause of kidney stones is unknown. However, a person with a family history of kidney stones may be more likely to develop stones. kidney disorders such as cystic kidney diseases, and metabolic disorders such as hyperparathyroidism may also cause kidney stones.

Kidney stones are typically found in people between the ages of 20 and 40. Once a person gets one stone, others are likely to develop.

An estimated 10 percent of people in the United States will have a kidney stone at some point in their lives. Men are affected more often than women.

Autoimmune diseases Autoimmune diseases cause your

immune system to attack your own body's cells and tissues by mistake. These diseases tend to run in families. In many people, the first symptoms are being tired, muscle aches and low fever. The diseases may also have flare-ups, when they get worse.

The diseases do not usually go away, but symptoms can be treated.

Fertilization diseases Aneuploidy

It is when there is an extra chromosome or missing a chromosome.

It occurs genetically in 1 out of 160 live births If you are missing a chromosome then you most likely will not

live on as a baby, although if you have an extra chromosome then you can still live on as an ordinary person.

The body cannot fix itself because of the lack of a chromosome, but you can still live with an extra chromosome

No medicines are needed but with a chromosome test for the embryo, doctors can help prevent a miscarriages, most of the time

Doctors are able to prevent miscarriages most of the time, but not 100% of the time.

Diseases of respiratory system COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is

a progressive disease generally caused by long term irritation to the lungs that makes it hard to breathe. It is characterized by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible. The airflow limitation is usually both progressive and associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of the lungs to noxious particles or gases. Cigarette smoking is the most common cause. Symptoms can include wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, coughing, and the accumulation of large amounts of mucus in the lungs

Diseases of urinary track system Infertility

Infertility is defined by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) as a disease of the reproductive system that impairs the body's ability to perform the basic function of reproduction. Although conceiving a child may seem to be simple and natural, the physiological process is quite complicated and depends on the proper function of many factors, including the following, as listed by the ASRM:

production of healthy sperm by the man production of healthy eggs by the woman unblocked fallopian tubes that allow the sperm to reach the egg the sperm's ability to fertilize the egg the ability of the fertilized egg to become implanted in the uterus adequate embryo quality Problems with the production and maturation of sperm are the most

common causes of male infertility. Sperm may be immature, abnormally shaped, or unable to move properly. Or, normal sperm may be produced in abnormally low numbers or seemingly not at all.

Their are treatments but a doctor must be seen to properly diagnose you.

Diseases of the endocrine system Addison's Disease

One way the body keeps itself in balance is by using chemical messengers called hormones to regulate various functions. Just above each of your kidneys is a small adrenal gland. These glands make some of the hormones your body needs. When they don't make enough of these hormones, Addison's disease is the result .Casing a chemical imbalance in the body.

Crown's disease Crown's disease effects the bowels of

the body. It is an inflammation of the bowels disease. An inflammation of the bowels disease that can effect any part of the digestive track from moth to anus

Crohn's disease is caused by interactions between environmental, immunize and bacterial factors in genetically susceptible people. This results in a chronic inflammatory disorder, in which the body's immune system immune attacks the digestive tract possibly directed at microbial antigens. Which cusses chronic inflammation of the bowels.

This is an example of untreated crowns disease
