Arthritis is inflammation of one or more joints, which results in pain, swelling, and limited movement. See also joint pain .
|
|
A term referring to a variety of conditions characterized by inflammation of one or more joints. Arthritis is commonly regarded as a disease of the elderly, but there are several varieties that primarily affect children, including juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, infectious arthritis, and juvenile ankylosing spondylitis.

Bleeding disorders are a group of conditions of the blood clotting (coagulation) system, in which bleeding following an injury is prolonged and excessive.
|
|
Coagulation disorders (coagulopathies) are disruptions in the body ' s ability to control blood clotting, an essential function of the body designed to prevent blood loss. The most commonly known coagulation disorder is hemophilia , a condition in which a critical component of blood coagulation is missing, causing individuals to bleed for long periods of time before clotting occurs.
|
|
Bleeding disorders are disruptions in the body's ability to control blood clotting. Patients with these conditions bleed easily for longer periods of time than normal.
|
 |
Acute renal failure is sudden loss of the ability of the kidneys to excrete wastes, concentrate urine, and conserve electrolytes . ("Acute" means sudden, "renal" refers to the kidneys.)
|
|
Chronic kidney failure occurs when disease or disorder damages the kidneys so that they are no longer capable of adequately removing fluids and wastes from the body or of maintaining the proper level of certain kidney-regulated chemicals in the bloodstream. Chronic kidney failure, also known as chronic renal failure, affects over 250,000 Americans annually.

A pinched nerve is caused by some anatomical structure putting pressure on a nerve and impairing its function. This problem may occur in many different areas of the body.
|
|
A pinched nerve is a general term that describes an injury to a nerve or group of nerves. The damage may include compression, constriction or stretching.
|
|
Nerve compression is the restriction in the space around a nerve that can occur due to several reasons. Functioning of the nerve is compromised.
|
 |
Pericarditis is a disorder caused by inflammation of the pericardium, which is the sac-like covering of the heart.
|
 |
Pericarditis is an inflammation of the two layers of the thin, sac-like membrane that surrounds the heart. This membrane is called the pericardium, so the term pericarditis means inflammation of the pericardium.

Respiratory failure is nearly any condition that affects breathing function or the lungs themselves and can result in failure of the lungs to function properly. The main tasks of the lungs and chest are to get oxygen from the air that is inhaled into the bloodstream, and, at the same to time, to eliminate carbon dioxide (C0 2 ) from the blood through air that is breathed out.
|
|
Respiratory failure occurs when the lungs ' ability to either add oxygen to the bloodstream or remove carbon dioxide from it is impaired. Respiratory failure can have any one of several causes, such as lung disease or infection , electrolyte imbalance, interruption of the nerve signals that regulate breathing or nervous system damage, structural (rib cage) collapse, or airway obstruction.
