| disease | 1. Lack of ease; uneasiness; trouble; vexation; disquiet. "So all that night they passed in great disease." (Spenser) "To shield thee from diseases of the world." (Shak) 2. An alteration in the state of the body or of some of its organs, interrupting or disturbing the performance of the vital functions, and causing or threatening pain and weakness; malady; affection; illness; sickness; disorder; applied figuratively to the mind, to the moral character and habits, to institutions, the state, etc. "Diseases desperate grown, By desperate appliances are relieved." (Shak) "The instability, injustice, and confusion introduced into the public counsels have, in truth, been the mortal diseases under which popular governments have every where perished." (Madison) Disease germ. See Germ. Synonym: Distemper, ailing, ailment, malady, disorder, sickness, illness, complaint, indisposition, affection. Disease, Disorder, Distemper, Malady, Affection. Disease is the leading medical term. Disorder mean much the same, with perhaps some slight reference to an irregularity of the system. Distemper is now used by physicians only of the diseases of animals. Malady is not a medical term, and is less used than formerly in literature. Affection has special reference to the part, organ, or function disturbed, as, his disease is an affection of the lungs. A disease is usually deep-seated and permanent, or at least prolonged, a disorder is often slight, partial, and temporary, malady has less of a technical sense than the other terms, and refers more especially to the suffering endured. In a figurative sense we speak of a disease mind, of disordered faculties, and of mental maladies. Origin: OE. Disese, OF. Desaise; des- (L. Dis-) + aise ease. See Ease. 1. To deprive of ease; to disquiet; to trouble; to distress. "His double burden did him sore disease." (Spenser) 2. To derange the vital functions of; to afflict with disease or sickness; to disorder; used almost exclusively in the participle diseased. "He was diseased in body and mind." (Macaulay) Origin: Diseased; Diseasing. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| disease determinants | Any variables that directly or indirectly influence the frequency of occurrence and/or the distribution of any given disease; they include specific disease agents, host characteristics, and environmental factors. (05 Mar 2000) |
| disease management | A broad approach to appropriate coordination of the entire disease treatment process that often involves shifting away from more expensive inpatient and acute care to areas such as preventive medicine, patient counseling and education, and outpatient care. This concept includes implications of appropriate versus inappropriate therapy on the overall cost and clinical outcome of a particular disease. (12 Dec 1998) |
| disease models, animal | Animal disease whose pathologic mechanisms are sufficiently similar to those of a different human disease for the animal disease to serve as a model. The animal disease may be either induced or naturally occurring so long as it is not the same clinical entity as the disease for which it serves as a model. E.g., scrapie is an animal model for multiple sclerosis, which has never been found or induced in an animal. (12 Dec 1998) |
| disease notification | Notification or reporting by a physician or other health care provider of the occurrence of specified contagious diseases such as tuberculosis and HIV infections to designated public health agencies. The united states system of reporting notifiable diseases evolved from the quarantine act of 1878, which authorised the us public health service to collect morbidity data on cholera, smallpox, and yellow fever; each state in the us has its own list of notifiable diseases and depends largely on reporting by the individual health care provider. (12 Dec 1998) |
| disease outbreaks | Sudden increase in the incidence of a disease. The concept includes epidemics. (12 Dec 1998) |
| disease progression | The worsening of a disease over time. This concept is most often used for chronic and incurable diseases where the stage of the disease is an important determinant of therapy and prognosis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| disease reservoirs | Animate or inanimate sources which harbor disease-causing organisms and thus serve as potential sources of disease outbreaks. Reservoirs should be distinguished from vectors and carriers, which are agents of disease transmission rather than continuing sources of potential disease outbreaks. (12 Dec 1998) |
| disease susceptibility | A constitution or condition of the body which makes the tissues react in special ways to certain extrinsic stimuli and thus tends to make the individual more than usually susceptible to certain diseases. (12 Dec 1998) |
| disease transmission | The transmission of infectious disease or pathogens. When transmission is within the same species, the mode can be horizontal (disease transmission, horizontal) or vertical (disease transmission, vertical). (12 Dec 1998) |
| disease transmission, horizontal | The transmission of infectious disease or pathogens from one individual to another in the same generation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| disease transmission, patient-to-professional | The transmission of infectious disease or pathogens from patients to health professionals or health care workers. It includes transmission via direct or indirect exposure to bacterial, fungal, parasitic, or viral agents. (12 Dec 1998) |
| disease transmission, professional-to-patient | The transmission of infectious disease or pathogens from health professional or health care worker to patients. It includes transmission via direct or indirect exposure to bacterial, fungal, parasitic, or viral agents. (12 Dec 1998) |
