    • Colorectal cancer

      Also known as bowel cancer, colon cancer, or rectal cancer, is a type of cancer that develops in the colon or rectum, which are parts of the large intestine. It usually starts as a growth called a polyp, which may be benign (non-cancerous) at first but can develop into cancer over time.
    • Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy
      Also known as "broken heart syndrome," this condition is characterized by a sudden and temporary weakening of the heart muscles, often triggered by severe emotional or physical stress. It can mimic a heart attack but typically resolves on its own.
    • Whooping Cough (Pertussis)
      A highly contagious respiratory disease caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis. It is characterized by severe coughing fits, often ending in a "whooping" sound when the person inhales.
    • Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva
      A rare genetic disorder in which muscle and connective tissue gradually turn into bone, forming bone outside the skeleton that restricts movement.
    • Encephalitis
      Inflammation of the brain, usually caused by a viral infection. It can result in flu-like symptoms, confusion, seizures, or even coma.
    • Kaposi's Sarcoma
      A type of cancer that develops from the cells that line lymph or blood vessels. It is often seen in people with weakened immune systems, such as those with HIV/AIDS.
    • Hepatocellular Carcinoma
      The most common type of primary liver cancer, usually developing in people with chronic liver diseases or cirrhosis.
    • Necrotizing Fasciitis
      A serious bacterial infection that destroys skin, fat, and the tissue covering the muscles. It spreads quickly and can be life-threatening.
    • Breast Cancer
      Cancer that forms in the cells of the breast. It is one of the most common cancers among women worldwide.
    • Ovarian Cancer
      Cancer that forms in the ovaries, often detected at a late stage, leading to a poor prognosis.
    • Peptic Ulcer
      An open sore that develops on the inner lining of the stomach, upper small intestine, or esophagus, usually caused by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori or the long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
    • Congenital Insensitivity to Pain with Anhidrosis (CIPA)
      A rare genetic disorder characterized by the inability to feel pain and inability to sweat due to abnormal nerve development.
    • Dengue
      A mosquito-borne viral infection causing flu-like symptoms that can develop into severe dengue, a potentially deadly complication.
    • Kleine-Levin Syndrome
      A rare sleep disorder characterized by recurring episodes of excessive sleepiness and cognitive disturbances.
    • Eye Cancer
      Cancer that forms in the tissues of the eye, including the retina, iris, and other parts of the eye.
    • Leukemia
      Cancer of the blood or bone marrow, characterized by an abnormal increase in white blood cells.
    • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

      A hormonal disorder common among women of reproductive age, causing enlarged ovaries with small cysts on the outer edges.
    • Prostate Cancer
      Cancer that occurs in the prostate, a small walnut-shaped gland in men that produces seminal fluid.
    • Parkinson's Disease
      A progressive nervous system disorder that affects movement, often starting with tremors and stiffness.
    • Cysticercosis
      An infection caused by the larval stage of the pork tapeworm, leading to cysts in the muscles, brain, or other tissues.
    • Typhoid Fever
      A bacterial infection caused by Salmonella typhi, characterized by fever, headache, and gastrointestinal symptoms.
    • Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack)

      A sudden blockage of blood flow to the heart muscle, leading to tissue damage and potential complications.
    • Malaria
      A mosquito-borne infectious disease caused by parasites of the Plasmodium type. It is characterized by fever, fatigue, vomiting, and headaches.
    • Filariasis
      A parasitic disease caused by thread-like filarial nematodes, transmitted by mosquitoes, leading to severe damage to the lymphatic system.
    • Pulmonary Embolism

      A blockage in one of the pulmonary arteries in the lungs, usually caused by blood clots that travel to the lungs from the legs or other parts of the body.
    • Hydrocephalus
      A condition characterized by the buildup of fluid in the brain, leading to increased pressure inside the skull.
    • Ventral Septal Defect
      A congenital heart defect characterized by a hole in the wall (septum) between the heart's lower chambers (ventricles).
    • Gangrene
      is a serious condition that occurs when body tissue dies due to a lack of blood supply, infection, or a combination of both. It can result in the affected area becoming black and decomposed, often requiring surgical removal.
    • Kuru
      is a rare and fatal neurodegenerative disorder that was prevalent among the Fore people of Papua New Guinea. It is caused by prions, which are misfolded proteins that lead to brain damage.
