| Disease | is a state of functional disequilibrium |
| Physiology | normal function of a body |
| Pathology | is the study of disease in general |
| Signs | are objective evidence of disease observed on physical examination |
| Symptoms | are subjective indications of disease reported by the patient, such as pain, dizziness, and itching |
| Syndrome | are signs and symptoms occur concurrently |
| Examples of a syndrome | immunodeficiency syndrome, malabsorption syndrome, Down's syndrome, and etc. |
| Diagnosis | is the use of scientific or clinical methods to determine the nature of a disease |
| Prognosis | the predicted course and outcome of the disease |
| Examples of prognosis | The prognosis may state the chances for complete recovery, predict the permanent loss of function, or give probability of survival |
| Acute | a sudden onset and short duration |
| Examples of acute diseases | are influenza, measles, and the common cold, and etc. |
| Chronic | Less severe onset and a long duration of months and years |
| Examples of chronic diseases | such diseases include diabetes, cancers, osteoarthritis, and etc. |
| Terminal | diseases that will end in death |
| Remission | the signs and symptoms of disease at times subsided |
| Exacerbation | diseases that recur in their severity (严重性) |
| Relapse | occurs when a disease returns weeks or months after its apparent (明显) cessation (停止). |
| Sequela | the aftermath of a particular disease |
| Example of sequela | the permanent damage to the heart after rheumatic fever, the paralysis of polio, Sterility of pelvic inflammatory disease and sexually transmitted infections, and etc. |
| Mortality | is a measure of the number of deaths attributed a disease in a given population over a given period of time |
| Morbidity | is a measure of the disability and extend of illness caused by a diseased. 发病率 |
| Prevalence | The number of cases of a disease occurring at a given time in a specified population 患病率 |
| Incidence | The number of new cases of a disease at a given time in a specified population. 发病 |
| incidence data | allow tracking of changes in the occurrence of disease |
| What different between incidence and influenza? | A disease may increase in incidence seasonally, as influenza does during winter |
| Epidemiology | is the study of the occurrence, transmission, distribution, and control of disease |
| Epidemiologist | use prevalence and incidence data and information about the geographic distribution of disease to develop methods to prevent and control diseases |
| idiopathic | the cause of a unknown disease |
| Lesion | An abnormal tissue structure or function. May be result of a wound, injury, or pathologic condition |
| Risk factors | predispose 预先安排 an individual to the development of a disease. 危险因素 . |
| What is the different between risk factor and cause? | An individual with a risk factor for a certain disease has an increased chance of developing that disease, it may not necessarily cause the disease |
| Examples of Rick factor | Risk factors may be environmental, chemical, physiological, psychological, or genetic. A will-known risk factor for lung cancer is cigarette smoking. |
| Palliative | Relieving, soothing or managing the symptoms of a disease or disorder without effecting a cure. |
