SINUSITIS - Sinusitis means your sinuses are infected or inflamed. Your sinuses

are hollow air spaces within the bones surrounding the nose. They produce mucus,

which drains into the nose. If your nose is swollen, this can block the sinuses and cause

pain and infection.

Sinusitis can be acute, lasting for less than four weeks, or chronic, lasting much longer. Acute sinusitis often starts as a cold, which then turns into a bacterial infection.

 Allergies, pollutants, nasal problems and certain diseases can also cause sinusitis.

HEARTBURN - also known as pyrosis, cardialgia, or acid indigestion] is a burning

sensation in the chest, just behind thebreastbone or in the epigastrium, the upper 

central abdomen. The pain often rises in the chest and may radiate to the neck, throat,

or angle of the jaw.

Heartburn is usually associated with regurgitation of  gastric acid (gastric reflux) which is

the major symptom of  gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It may also be asymptom of  ischemic heart disease, though this is true for only 0.6% of those

experiencing heartburn.

VITILIGO - is a condition that causes depigmentation of sections of skin. It occurs

when melanocytes, the cells responsible for  skin pigmentation, die or are unable to

function. The cause of vitiligo is unknown, but research suggests that it may arise

from autoimmune, genetic, oxidative stress, neural, or viral causes.[1]

 The incidence

worldwide is less than 1%.[2]

 The most common form is non-segmental vitiligo, whichtends to appear in symmetric patches, sometimes over large areas of the body.

KIDNEY FAILURE - Healthy kidneys clean your blood by removing excess fluid,

minerals and wastes. They also make hormones that keep your bones strong and your blood healthy. But if the kidneys are damaged, they don't work properly. Harmful wastes

can build up in your body. Your blood pressure may rise. Your body may retain excess

fluid and not make enough red blood cells. This is called kidney failure.

ABDOMINAL - in vertebrates such as mammals, constitutes the part of the body

between the thorax(chest) and pelvis. The region enclosed by the abdomen is termed

the abdominal cavity. In arthropods it is the posterior tagma of the body; it follows the

thorax or cephalothorax.[1][2]  Anatomically, the abdomen stretches from the thorax at

the thoracic diaphragm to the pelvis at the pelvic brim. The pelvic brim stretches from

the lumbosacral angle (the intervertebral disk between L5 and S1) to thepubic

symphysis and is the edge of the pelvic inlet. The space above this inlet and under the

thoracic diaphragm is termed theabdominal cavity. The boundary of the abdominal

cavity is the abdominal wall in the front and the peritoneal surface at the rear.

CERVICAL CANCER -  is a malignant neoplasm arising from cells originating in

the cervix uteri. One of the most common symptoms of cervical cancer  isabnormal vaginal bleeding, but in some cases there may be no obvious symptoms until

the cancer has progressed to an advanced stage. Treatment usually consists

of  surgery (including local excision ) in early stages,

and chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy in more advanced stages of the disease.

DIABETES - is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has

high blood sugar , either because the body does not produce

enough insulin, or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is

produced.[2] This high blood sugar produces the classical symptoms

of  polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (increased thirst)

and polyphagia (increased hunger).
