▪ Nausea: The term used to describe the feeling a patient has in their stomach that they want to vomit. It is rare in patients who have not recently eaten. It is a common symptom of many conditions and as such is not very useful in a differential diagnosis. However, if nausea persists after vomitting, it usually indicates a serious condition.
▪ Necrotizing Fasciitis: A rare but aggressive opportunistic bacterial disease in the Streptococcus family. Like other opportunistic diseases, such as Staphylococcus, it usually enters through a break in the skin. However, unlike staph, fasciitis agressively attacks and kills tissue, causing complications such as gangrene in the affected area. It spreads more slowly through the bloodstream, but spreads quickly through affected tissue, often causing death within days of initial symptoms, usually from the side effects of the dying tissue poisoning the body.
▪ Neurocysticercosis: The most common parasitic infection of the central nervous system worldwide. It is caused by larvae of the tapeworm, the Taenia solium, and the worms form cysts in within the body. This tapeworm is usually found in pork but can be killed by cooking your food to the right temperature , or by freezing it for a prolonged period of time.
▪ Night terrors: A parasomnia disorder characterized by extreme terror and a temporary inability to regain full consciousness. The subject wakes abruptly from slow-wave sleep, with waking usually accompanied by gasping, moaning, or screaming. It is often impossible to fully awaken the person, and after the episode the subject normally settles back to sleep without waking. A night terror can rarely be recalled by the subject. They typically occur during non-rapid eye movement sleep.
▪ Numbness: An abnormal sensation, usually unpleasant, that results from injury to nerves. It is usually described as a numb, prickly, stinging or burning feeling. It is typified by the sensation one feels when impacting the exposed nerve in the elbow, or "hitting the funny bone".
