Hepatitis C is a viral disease affecting the largest organ in the body, the liver. It is the most common blood-borne disease in the country. It is also a major reason for a kidney transplant in the western world. Hepatitis transmits through Injectable Drug Use (IDU) and sharing of needles.

An uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in one or both lungs is considered as lung cancer. Neither do these abnormal cells carry out the normal functions of lung cells nor do they develop into a healthy lung tissue. These abnormal cancer cells tend to form tumors and interfere with the basic functioning of the lungs, which is to provide oxygen to the body through the bloodstream.

The diverticular disease was sporadic before the 20th century but now it is quite common especially in the western countries. Diverticulitis is the most severe kind of diverticular diseases. The diverticula or pouches are formed in the intestinal wall, they are bacterially infected and inflamed and they form diverticulitis. The diverticulitis often comes with many complications.

A maximum number of people, approximately 70 to 80 percent, who are suffering from acute hepatitis C infection do not observe symptoms of hepatitis C. Due to this reason, it is very tough to know about the illness at an early stage. Usually, the warning signs of this disease occur within 14 days to 180 days after being infected by the hepatitis C virus (HCV).

Amyloidosis is a rare disease that develops when amyloid, a protein produced in the bone marrow, builds up. Although it can accumulate in any part of the body, the heart, kidneys, liver, spleen, and digestive tract are commonly affected. Statistics suggest that each year, over 4,000 people in the country develop the condition, which typically affects those between 50 and 65.

A protein receptor in our body, also called the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, controls the cells’ ability to grow, divide, or repair itself. However, when there is something wrong with the gene that is responsible for the HER2 protein, the body starts creating too many receptors. This causes excess production of the breast cells, creating a tumor.
