Motor neuron disease

Motor neuron diseases or motor neurone diseases (MNDs) are a group of rare neurodegenerative disorders that selectively affect motor neurons, the cells which control voluntary muscles of the body. They include amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), progressive bulbar palsy (PBP), pseudobulbar palsy, progressive muscular atrophy (PMA), primary lateral sclerosis (PLS), spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and monomelic amyotrophy (MMA), as well as some rarer variants resembling ALS.

Pulmonary insufficiency

Pulmonary insufficiency is a condition in which the pulmonary valve is incompetent and allows backflow from the pulmonary artery to the right ventricle of the heart during diastole. While a small amount of backflow may occur ordinarily, it is usually only

Bamforth–Lazarus syndrome

Bamforth–Lazarus syndrome is a genetic condition that results in thyroid dysgenesis. It is due to recessive mutations in forkhead/winged-helix domain transcription factor. It is associated with FOXE1

Nutritional anemia

Nutritional anemia refers to types of anemia that can be directly attributed to nutritional disorders. Examples include Iron deficiency anemia and pernicious anemia. It is often discussed in a pediatric context

Accessory nerve disorder

Vascular malformation

A vascular malformation is a blood vessel or lymph vessel abnormality. Vascular malformations are one of the classifications of vascular anomalies, the other grouping is vascular tumors. They may cause aesthetic problems as they have a growth cycle, and

Mesenchyme

Mesenchyme is a type of loosely organised animal embryonic connective tissue of undifferentiated cells that gives rise to blood and lymph vessels, bone, and muscle

Isotonic hyponatremia

Isotonic hyponatremia is a form of hyponatremia with mOsm measured between 280 and 295. It can be associated with pseudohyponatremia, or with isotonic infusion of glucose or mannitol

Myoma

A myoma is a type of tumor that involves muscle cells. There are two main types of myoma:Leiomyomas which occur in smooth muscle. They most commonly occur as uterine fibroids, but may also form in other locations. Rhabdomyomas which occur in striated
