diseases No Comments »

Dr. Hamid B discusses long-hauler syndrome and MIS-C following COVID-19 infection in children. Talking about his experience studying COVID-19 disease in young children, he says, “This is one of the other primary reasons to consider vaccination in children … not just because they got a disease for three, four, five days, but it can affect them for months, and potentially even years down the line due to … the post-acute effects of this viral syndrome.” For information about COVID-19, visit http://COVIDVaccineAnswers.org.

Vitamin D and Renal Disease – Mayo Clinic

diseases No Comments »

A commentary by Mayo Clinic Nephrologist Rajiv Kumar, M.D., in the current issue of the journal Kidney International suggests that Vitamin D may improve the treatment of renal disease. Dr. Kumar says that while larger clinical trials are needed, he believes doctors should start treating patients with diabetes who have low serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin (the active form of vitamin D) with vitamin D3 to help slow down the progression of kidney damage. Dr. Kumar cautions that more research is needed and that patients should always consult their doctors before consuming vitamin D supplements on their own.

What is DISEASE? What does DISEASE mean? DISEASE meaning, definition, explanation & pronunciation.

A disease is a particular abnormal condition, a disorder of a structure or function, that affects part or all of an organism.

The causal study of disease is called pathology. Disease is often construed as a medical condition associated with specific symptoms and signs. It may be caused by external factors such as pathogens, or it may be caused by internal dysfunctions, such as autoimmune diseases. Diseases usually affect people not only physically, but also emotionally, as contracting and living with a disease can alter one’s perspective on life as well as one’s personality.

Death due to disease is called death by natural causes. There are four main types of disease: infectious disease, deficiency disease, genetic disease, and physiological disease. Diseases can also be classified as communicable and non-communicable.

The deadliest diseases in humans are coronary artery disease (blood flow obstruction), followed by cerebrovascular disease and lower respiratory infections.
