1. Turner syndrome A chromosomal disorder in females in which either an *X
chromosome* is missing, making
... [Show More] the person XO instead
of XX, or part of one X chromosome is deleted.
2. Tay-Sachs Disease
A human genetic disease caused by a recessive allele
for a dysfunctional enzyme leads to the accumulation of
certain lipids in the brain.
Seizures, blindness, and degeneration of motor and mental performance usually become manifest a few months
after birth, followed by death within a few years.
3. Down syndrome A condition of mild to severe intellectual disability and
associated physical disorders caused by an extra copy of
chromosome 21
4. Diabetes Insipidus
5. Cardiac Valve
Disease Process
6. Cardiac Valve
Complications
Antidiuretic hormone is not secreted adequately, or the
kidney is resistant to its effect.The *serum sodium is often
elevated* due to excess free water losses.
In diabetes insipidus, your blood glucose levels are normal, but your kidneys can't properly concentrate urine.
In heart valve disease, one or more of the valves in your
heart doesn't work properly. Regurgitation (or leakage of
the valve). When the valve(s) do not close completely, it
causes blood to flow backward through the valve. This reduces forward blood flow and can lead to volume overload
in the heart.
Stenosis (or narrowing of the valve). When the valve(s)
opening becomes narrowed, it limits the flow of blood out
of the ventricles or atria.The heart is forced to pump blood
with increased force to move blood through the narrowed
or stiff (stenotic) valve(s).
Heart valve disease can cause many complications, including:
* Heart failure.

*Viral hemorrhagic fevers* are spread by contact with
infected animals or insects. The viruses that cause viral
hemorrhagic fevers live in a variety of animal and insect
hosts.
Most commonly, the hosts include mosquitoes, ticks, rodents, or bats. Some viral hemorrhagic fevers can also be
spread from person to person.
8. Anemia Different types of anemia include:
Anemia due to vitamin B12 deficiency
Anemia due to folate (folic acid) deficiency
Anemia due to iron deficiency
Anemia of chronic disease
Hemolytic anemia
Idiopathic aplastic anemia
Megaloblastic anemia
Pernicious anemia
Sickle cell anemia
Thalassemia
9. Acid Base Balance - lung and
kidney compensation
The kidneys have two main ways to maintain acid-base
balance - their cells reabsorb bicarbonate HCO3 from the
urine back to the blood and they secrete hydrogen H+ ions
into the urine.
By adjusting the amounts reabsorbed and secreted, they
balance the bloodstream's pH.
