Definition of Liver Disease
Liver disease or hepatic disease describes any disease that affects the liver. Most liver diseases will be accompanied by jaundice which is as a result of elevated levels of bilirubin in the circulatory system. The bilirubin is customarily removed from the blood by the liver and excreted in the bile, however manifestations of liver dysfunction will hinder this process. The particular liver disease will be classified in relation to its cause and effect on the organ.
Gum disease is also known as periodontal disease or Periodontitis. Periodontal disease is an infection of the tissues and bone that support the teeth. Untreated gum disease can become very serious, causing teeth to become loose or fall out. Chronic Periodontitis, the most common form of the disease, progresses relatively slowly and typically becomes clinically evident in adulthood. Aggressive Periodontitis is a rarer form, but as its name implies, progresses more rapidly and becomes clinically evident in adolescence. Although the different forms of periodontitis are all caused by bacterial infections
This is a group of brain dysfunctions relating to the disease of vascular tubes (blood vessels) supplying the brain. This disease is known primarily to affect elderly persons; however due the nature of the disease it can affect anyone if care is not taken to be healthy. Changes in the design of the blood vessels may make them narrow, stiff, deformed amongst other deformations, these changes in the blood vessels result in increased blood pressure in the brain since they vessels get narrower, which result in stroke and intracranial hemorrhage.

Most often only one knee is affected. OSD usually strikes active adolescents around the beginning of their growth spurts, the approximately 2-year period during which they grow most rapidly. Growth spurts can begin any time between the ages of 8 and 13 for girls, or 10 and 15 for boys. OSD has been more common in boys, but as more girls participate in sports, this pattern is changing
Symptoms of Osgood Schaltter Disease
Knee pain is usually the presenting symptom that occurs during activities such as running, jumping, squatting, and especially ascending or descending stairs and during kneeling.
