SECTION 1
DISEASE
A disease is a particular abnormal condition, a disorder of a structure
or function, that affects part or all of an organism. The causal study
of disease is called pathology. Disease is often construed as a medical
condition associated with specific symptoms and signs. It may be caused
by factors originally from an external source, such as infectious disease,
or it may be caused by internal dysfunctions, such as autoimmune diseases.
In humans, "disease" is often used more broadly to refer to any condition
that causes pain, dysfunction, distress, social problems, or death to the
person afflicted, or similar problems for those in contact with the person.
In this broader sense, it sometimes includes injuries, disabilities,
disorders, syndromes, infections, isolated symptoms, deviant behaviors, and
atypical variations of structure and function, while in other contexts and
for other purposes these may be considered distinguishable categories.
Diseases usually affect people not only physically, but also emotionally,
as contracting and living with a disease can alter one's perspective on life,
and one's personality.

SECTION 2
DISEASE
TRANSMISSION
(MEDICINE)
In medicine, public health, and biology, transmission is the passing of
a pathogen causing communicable disease from an infected host individual
or group to a particular individual or group, regardless of whether the
other individual was previously infected.
The term strictly refers to the transmission of microorganisms directly
from one individual to another by one or more of the following means:
Human fluid contact
Coughing or sneezing on another individual
Direct physical contact
Touching an infected individual, including sexual contact
Indirect physical contact
Usually by touching a contaminated surface, including soil (fomite)
Airborne transmission
If the microorganism can remain in the air for long periods
Fecal-oral transmission
Usually from unwashed hands, contaminated food or water sources due
to lack of sanitation and hygiene, an important transmission route
in pediatrics, veterinary medicine and developing countries.

SECTION 3
CLASSIFICATION
OF
DISEASES
Classifications of diseases become extremely important in the
compilation of statistics on causes of illness (morbidity) and
causes of death (mortality). It is obviously important to know
what kinds of illness and disease are prevalent in an area and
how these prevalence rates vary with time.
The most widely used classifications of disease are
(1) topographic, by bodily region or system
(2) anatomic, by organ or tissue
(3) physiological, by function or effect
(4) pathological, by the nature of the disease process
(5) etiologic (causal)
(6) juristic, by speed of advent of death
(7) epidemiological
(8) statistical
Any single disease may fall within several of these classifications.
