| retrocochlear diseases | Diseases of the acoustic nerve. Retrocochlear refers to the eighth cranial nerve and cerebellopontine angle as opposed to the cochlea. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| periapical diseases | Diseases of the periapical tissue. (12 Dec 1998) |
| rheumatic diseases | Disorders of connective tissue, especially the joints and related structures, characterised by inflammation, degeneration, or metabolic derangement. (12 Dec 1998) |
| peripheral nervous system diseases | Diseases of the peripheral nervous system, including disorders of the peripheral autonomic system, the cranial nerves, and the spinal nerves and roots, but not including neuromuscular and spinal cord diseases. (12 Dec 1998) |
| peripheral vascular diseases | General or unspecified diseases of the blood vessels outside the heart. It is for diseases of the peripheral as opposed to the cardiac circulation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| peritoneal diseases | Conditions or disorders affecting the peritoneum. (12 Dec 1998) |
| rickettsial diseases | The infectious diseases caused by the rickettsiae fall into 4 groups:(1) typhus: epidemic typhus, brill-zinsser disease, murine (endemic) typhus, and scrub typhus; (2) spotted fever rocky mountain spotted fever, eastern tick-borne rickettsioses, and rickettsialpox; (3) q fever; and (4) trench fever. (12 Dec 1998) |
| rodent diseases | Diseases of rodents of the order rodentia. This term includes diseases of sciuridae (squirrels), geomyidae (gophers), heteromyidae (pouched mice), castoridae (beavers), cricetidae (rats and mice), muridae (old world rats and mice), erethizontidae (porcupines), and caviidae (guinea pigs).

| collagen diseases | Historically, a heterogeneous group of acute and chronic diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, progressive systemic sclerosis, dermatomyositis, etc. This classification was based on the notion that "collagen" was equivalent to "connective tissue", but with the present recognition of the different types of collagen and the aggregates derived from them as distinct entities, the term "collagen diseases" now pertains exclusively to those inherited conditions in which the primary defect is at the gene level and affects collagen biosynthesis, post-translational modification, or extracellular processing directly. (12 Dec 1998) |
| collagen-vascular diseases | A group of generalised disease's affecting connective tissue and frequently characterised by fibrinoid necrosis or vasculitis; in some collagen disease's, auto-immunization, particularly antinuclear antibodies, has been shown and circulating immune complexes are found. The term is not entirely acceptable because there is no evidence that collagen is primarily involved; "collagen" was once synonymous with "connective tissue" rather than describing a specific fibrinous protein in that tissue. See: connective-tissue diseases. (05 Mar 2000) |
| common bile duct diseases | Diseases of the common bile duct, vater's ampulla, or oddi's sphincter. (12 Dec 1998) |
