Cards (71)

  • Genetic Mutation
    A change in DNA that can lead to genetic disorders and increase the risk of disease
  • Environmental Factor
    Pollutants, radiation, or certain chemicals in the environment can contribute to the development of disease
  • Lifestyle Choice
    Poor diet, inadequate exercise, and unhealthy habits can increase the risk of disease and its progression
  • Trauma
    Physical injury or emotional stress can trigger disease or make existing conditions worse
  • Pneumonia
    Bacterial or viral infection of the lungs
  • Tuberculosis
    Bacterial infection of the lungs or other parts of the body
  • Malaria
    Parasitic infection transmitted by mosquitoes
  • Sickle Cell Anemia
    Genetic disorder of the hemoglobin gene
  • Cystic Fibrosis
    Genetic disorder affecting the lungs and digestive system
  • Muscular Dystrophy
    Genetic disorder affecting the muscles
  • Cancer
    Tumor caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors
  • Asthma
    Chronic inflammatory disease affecting the airways
  • Diabetes
    Metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar levels
  • Obesity
    Clinical condition marked by excess body fat
  • PTSD
    Mental health disorder triggered by traumatic events
  • Infection
    Condition caused by the presence of germs in the body
  • Chronic Pain
    Persistent pain that lasts beyond the normal healing process
  • Bacterial Infection
    Bacterial microorganisms that are single-celled, transmitted through contaminated food, water, or contact with an infected person, cause sudden onset of symptoms like fever, chills, and pain, and are often treated with antibiotics
  • Viral Infection
    Small particles made of genetic material, transmitted through contact with infected people, contaminated surfaces, or bodily fluids, often cause milder symptoms like headache, fatigue, and coughing, and are often treated with antiviral medications or supportive care
  • Host Cell Reprogramming
    Process where viruses hijack the host cell's machinery to replicate, using the cell's DNA and protein-building machinery to produce new viral particles
  • Translation and Transcription
    Viral process where genetic material is translated into proteins and transcribed into RNA using the host cell's machinery
  • Assembly and Release
    Viral process where newly synthesized viral proteins and genetic material are assembled into new viral particles, which are then released from the host cell through lysis, budding, or release from a cellular structure
