Mercer Disease is a highly infectious disease caused by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. It is also known as MRSA which is an acronym for Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus.
What makes mercer disease so dangerous is the fact that as its name suggests it is resistant to many antibiotics which are normally used to treat Staph Infections.
Definition
This is a disease that affects the male’s genital organ: the penis, as it often causes deformity of the penis and erections are often very painful.
This disease is the development of abnormal scar tissue and /or plaques on the tissues on the penis. The discomfort that is associated with this disease may prevent a man from engaging in sexual intercourse, which can result in stress and anxiety.
Atherosclerosis is a disease in which plaque builds up on the insides of your arteries. Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood to your heart and other parts of your body. The Plaque is made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances found in the blood. Over time, plaque hardens and narrows your arteries. The flow of oxygen-rich blood to your organs and other parts of your body is reduced. This can lead to serious problems, including heart attack, stroke, or even death.
Definition of Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary artery disease (CAD) occurs when the arteries and blood vessels that supply the heart with blood and oxygen begin to narrow affecting the functioning of the heart . This develops as a result of an accumulation of plaque in the arteries and blood vessels. If the blood flow is totally obstructed by plaque it can lead to a myocardial infarction or heart attack or in more tragic circumstances cardiac arrest. It is the leading cause of death in the United States of America and several other western countries.
Definition
Peripheral Artery Disease is the type of disease is a form or type of Peripheral Vascular Disease, where there is either a partial or total blockage of a particular artery, which in most cases is usually an artery leading to either a leg or arm.
The blocking of the arteries in the leg is Intermittent Claudication, where not enough blood flow is taking place and is unable to keep up. This is evident in the pain experienced when walking
Atherosclerosis is another type of artery disease (blockage), only this type of blockage occurs as a result of fatty deposits in the arteries. This not only affects the legs but can also affect blood flow to your heart and brain.
This disease is a “common circulatory problem in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to your limbs”.
