BONE & JOINT DISORDERS

Providing form, stability, and movement to the human body, the musculoskeletal system consists of the body's bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, cartilage, and other connective tissue. Connective tissue supports and binds tissues and organs together. Its chief components are collagen and elastic fibres, which are made up of different proteins. The musculoskeletal system undergoes many changes as people age.

NERVOUS SYSTEM DISORDERS

Nervous system has two distinct parts: Central Nervous System and Peripheral Nervous System. Functioning as a complex communication system, it sends and receives large amounts of information simultaneously. The Central Nervous System (CNS) consists the Brain and the Spinal Cord and basic unit is Neuron. Nerve cells routinely increase or decrease the number of connections they have with other nerve cells. Connectivity loss can may affect person’s learning skills, adaptation skills and memory.

ENDOCRINOLOGY

The endocrine system coordinates functioning between different organs through hormones. Hormones, in circulation, affect function of the target tissue, which may be other endocrine gland or end organ. Endocrine disorders can result from dysfunction originating in the peripheral endocrine gland itself (primary disorders) or understimulation by the pituitary (secondary disorders) or overstimulation by the pituitary (secondary disorders). The disorders may result in hormone overproduction (hyperfunction) or underproduction (hypofunction).

HAEMATOLOGICAL DISORDERS

Blood is incredibly important in combating disease and the healing process after an injury. Blood performs various essential functions as it circulates through the body. It delivers oxygen and essential nutrients (such as fats, sugars, minerals, and vitamins) to the body's tissues. It carries carbon dioxide to the lungs and other waste products to the kidneys for elimination from the body. It transports hormones (chemical messengers) to allow various parts of the body to communicate with each other. Also, it carries components that fight infection and stop bleeding.

INFECTIOUS DISEASES

Infectious diseases are disorders caused by organisms — such as bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. Many organisms live in and on our bodies. Microorganisms are tiny living creatures, such as bacteria and viruses. Microorganisms are present everywhere. Despite their overwhelming abundance, relatively few of the thousands of species of microorganisms invade, multiply, and cause disease in people

Many microorganisms live on the skin and in the mouth, upper airways, intestine, and genitals (particularly the vagina) without causing disease. Whether a microorganism lives as a harmless companion to a person or invades and causes disease depends on the nature of the microorganism and on the state of the person’s natural defences.

MEN’S HEALTH

Out of the 15 leading causes of death, men lead women in all of them except Alzheimer's disease, which many men don't live long enough to develop. Although the gender gap is closing, men still die five years earlier than their wives, on average.

While the reasons are partly biological, men’s approach to their health plays a role too. Heightening the awareness of preventable health problems and encouraging early detection and treatment of disease among men and boys can definitely play positive role against these problems.

VIROLOGY

Categorizing viral infections by the organ system most commonly affected (eg, lungs, GI tract, skin, liver, CNS, mucous membranes) can be clinically useful, although certain viral disorders (eg, mumps) are hard to categorize. Viruses have traditionally been viewed in a rather negative context as agents responsible for disease that must be controlled or eliminated. However, viruses also have certain beneficial properties that can be exploited for useful purposes (for example in gene therapy or vaccinology).

SEXUAL HEALTH

Sexual health is a state of physical, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality. It requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and violence.

Absence of or a decrease in sexual interest, desire, sexual thoughts, and fantasies and absence of responsive desire can be defined as Sexual Desire / Interest Disorder.

PAIN MANAGEMENT

Pain management can be simple or complex, depending on the cause of the pain. Pain is complex, so there are many treatment options -- medications, therapies, and mind-body techniques. The treatment of pain is guided by the history of the pain, its intensity, duration, aggravating and relieving conditions, and structures involved in causing the pain.

UROLOGICAL & HEPATIC DISORDERS

Most liver disorders cause some degree of damage to the liver, resulting in various abnormal laboratory test results and, sometimes, symptoms. Symptoms may be due to liver disease itself or to complications of liver disease.

A renal disorder refers to any disease of the kidneys. Urological disorders are diseases of the kidneys and urinary tract. This includes the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra. As well as the male reproductive organs including the testes, epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate, and penis.
