▪ Gonorrhea: A sexually transmitted disease caused by the transmission of a bacteria. The disease can cause sterility if untreated. Unlike the syphilis bacteria, gonorrhea is unable to penetrate the skin, so must attack weaker tissues, generally the urethra in males and the cervix in females. Once the infection sets in, it causes the membranes around the urethra to hemorrhage, causing a burning sensation when urinating. In addition, if untreated, pus will start to accumulate and leak from the penis.
▪ Gout: A crystal deposition disease hallmarked by elevated levels of uric acid (hyperuricemia) in the bloodstream. In this condition, crystals of monosodium urate(MSU) or uric acid are deposited on the articular cartilage of joints, tendons and surrounding tissues. It is marked by transient painful attacks of acute arthritis initiated by crystallization of urates within and about the joints and eventually leads to chronic gouty arthritis and the deposition of masses of urates in joints and other sites, creating tophi. Gout results from a combination of prolonged elevation of uric acid and overall acidity in the bloodstream. In isolation, neither elevated uric acid nor acidity is sufficient to cause gout.
▪ Guillain-Barre Syndrome: A rare neurological disorder caused by the immune system attacking healthy nerve cells. As a result, the patient starts feeling numbness or tingling in the extremities, which often rapidly proceeds to gradual paralysis. From the onset of symptoms, the disease reaches its worst condition in about two weeks, settles to a plateau for 2-4 weeks, then usually spontaneously resolves itself even without treatment.
