All Clinical Conditions & Monographs
300 Active MonographsAspergilloma
A ball of fungus that grows inside an old lung cavity (usually from old TB), typically presenting with coughing up blood.
Hairy Cell Leukemia
A rare, slow-growing blood cancer where B-cells develop 'hairy' projections, causing an enlarged spleen and low blood counts, highly curable with specific chemotherapy.
Hypercalcemia of Malignancy
A life-threatening metabolic complication of advanced cancer causing very high calcium levels due to tumor-secreted hormones (PTHrP) or bone metastases.
Basal Cell Carcinoma
A slow-growing, locally destructive skin cancer caused by sun exposure, typically appearing as a pearly bump on the face.
Primary Hyperparathyroidism
A condition where a benign tumor on a parathyroid gland produces too much parathyroid hormone, pulling calcium out of bones and into the blood.
Meckel Diverticulum
The most common congenital GI defect, caused by a remnant tissue pouch in the lower small intestine that can contain stomach tissue, leading to painless bloody stools or bowel obstruction, especially in children.
Fibromyalgia
A chronic disorder causing widespread body pain, severe fatigue, and brain fog, stemming from how the brain processes pain.
Asthma
A chronic lung disease causing episodes of airway narrowing and mucus production, leading to wheezing and shortness of breath. Controlled with daily inhaled steroids.
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
The most common type of lung cancer, encompassing adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, frequently linked to smoking but heavily treated with new targeted and immunotherapies.
Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction
A type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but is too stiff to relax and fill properly with blood, causing fluid backup into the lungs and body.
Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis
A progressive kidney disease characterized by focal and segmental scarring of glomeruli, commonly presenting as nephrotic syndrome and leading to renal failure if untreated.
Burkitt Lymphoma
An extremely fast-growing blood cancer of B-cells, often presenting as a large jaw or abdominal mass, requiring immediate intensive chemotherapy.
