- Pneumonia
- Condition caused by an infection of the lobules of the lung
- Hyperventilation
- a condition characterized by abnormally prolonged and rapid breathing, resulting in decreased carbon dioxide levels and increased oxygen levels that produce faintness, tingling of the fingers and toes and if continued alkalosis and loss of consciousness
- apoxia
- hypoxia especially of such severity as to result in permanent damage
- hypoxia
- deficient oxygenation of the blood
- Apnea
- a temporary suspension of breathing occuring in some newborns and i some adults during sleep (sleep Apneia)
- Diabetes Mellitus
- Glucose concentrations high enough to overwhelm the kidney's reabsorpion capabilities
- Type I Diabetes (Early Onset)
- Inadequate insulin production by the beta cells of the pancreatic islets
- type II Diabetes (late onset)
- insulin levels are normal or elevated, but peripheral tissue no longer responds normally
- aneurysm
- bulge in the weakened wall of a blood vessel, usually an artery
- cyanosis
- blueness or lividness of the skin, as from imperfectly oxygenated blood
- Varicose veins
- sagging swollen veins distorted by gravity and the failure of the venous valves
- embolism
- the occlusion of a blood vessel by an embolus
- edema
- an excessive accumulation of serous fluid in tissue spaces of a body cavity
- artherosclerosis
- Thickening and toughening of arterial walls
- occlusion
- closure or blockage of a blood vessel
- ischemia
- local deficiency of blood supply produced by vasoconstriction or local obstacles to the arterial flow
- Hypertension
- high blood pressure
- tachycardia
- faster than normal heart rate
-
AIDS
- discorder that develops after HIV infection, reduced T-Cells and depressed cellular immunity
- Autoimmune disorder
- immune response mistakenly targets normal body cells and tissue
- Allergies
- inappropriate or excessive immune response to antigens
- Lymphoma
- Malignant cancers consisting of abnormal lymphocytes or lymphocytic stem cells
- bradycardia
- slower than normal heart rate
- cardiac arrhythmia
- abnormal patterns of cardiac contractions
- heart murmur
- rushing, gurgling sounds caused by blood regurgitation back through faulty heart valves
- myocardial infraction
- a condition in which the coronary circulation becomes blocked and the cardia muscle cells die from oxygen starvation (heart attack)
