Illness related absence times and planned working times are calculated in days.

It does not spread per se, as sociogenic illness is not transmissible as would occur with an infectious disease like flu, smallpox or bubonic plague. Sociogenic illnesses may be psychosomatic in nature resembling a mass hysteria a term which is falling out of favor for its pejorative connotations , or may be defined by individuals with disparate illnesses that are wrongly linked to a common cause. Three examples of sociogenic illness widely publicised by the media are as follows An incident involving a cancer patient, Gloria Ramirez , in California on Feb 19th, 1994.

Please see WP PAREN for more information. Illness as Metaphor is a nonfiction work written by Susan Sontag and published in 1978. She challenged the blame the victim mentality behind the language society often uses to describe disease s and those who suffer from them. Drawing out the similarities between public perspectives on cancer the paradigmatic disease of the 20th century before the appearance of AIDS , and tuberculosis the symbolic illness of the 19th century , Sontag shows that both diseases were associated with personal psychological traits. In particular, she says that the metaphor s and terms used to describe both syndromes lead to an association between repressed passion and the physical disease itself. She notes the peculiar reversal that With the modern diseases once TB, now cancer , the romantic idea that the disease expresses the character is invariably extended to assert that the character causes the disease because it has not expressed itself. Passion moves inward, striking and blighting the deepest cellular recesses. Sontag says that the clearest and most truthful way of thinking about diseases is without recourse to metaphor. The tone of her treatise was angry and combative, and she makes sweeping claims that, while perhaps true to a first approximation, may go too far Donoghue, 1978 .

A sex specific illness is an illness or disease that occurs only in people of one sex . In a more general sense, sex related illnesses are illnesses that are more common to one sex, or which manifest differently in each sex. For example, certain autoimmune disease s may occur predominantly in one sex, for unknown reasons. 90 of primary biliary cirrhosis cases are women, whereas primary sclerosing cholangitis is more common in men. Neither concept should be confused with sexually transmitted disease s, which are diseases that have a significant probability of transmission through sexual contact. Sex related illnesses have various causes Sex linked genetic illnesses Parts of the reproductive system that are specific to one sex Social causes that relate to the gender role expected of that sex in a particular society.

The famous Greek physician Galen in the 2nd century AD had already named nightmares Ephialtes . The idea of an incubus as a causative factor in nightmares stemmed from the belief that some spirit or ghost ghostly person crept in during the night and lay upon the sleeper, so as to constrict the chest and breathing leading to a sense of suffocation , side by side with a terrifying dream of being either crushed or in the case of a woman sexual violence sexually violated by the male incubus or ephialtes.

Severity of illness SOI is defined as the extent of organ system derangement or physiologic decompensation for a patient. It gives a medical classification into minor, moderate, major, and extreme. The SOI class is meant to provide a basis for evaluating hospital resource use or to establish patient care guidelines. Patients are assigned their SOI based on their specific diagnoses and procedures performed during their medical encounter, which is generally an inpatient hospital stay. Patients with higher SOI e.g. major or extreme are more likely to consume greater healthcare resources and stay longer in hospitals than patients with lower SOI in the same DRG. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services , also known as CMS, considered the 3M APR DRG and SOI system as a potential evolution to the DRG system in 2006, but received such negative feedback from the industry that in March 2007 decided to adopt another internally developed system evolved from the Diagnosis related group DRG http www.rand.org pubs working papers 2007 RAND WR434.1.pdf . SOI is still commonly used throughout the United States to adjust for patient complexity, so that physicians and other groups can compare resource utilization, complication rates, and length of stay.

Decompression Illness DCI describes a collection of symptoms arising from decompression of the body. DCI is caused by two different mechanisms, which result in overlapping sets of symptoms. The two mechanisms are Decompression sickness DCS , which results from gas dissolved in body tissue under pressure precipitating out of solution and forming bubbles on decompression. It typically afflicts scuba divers on poorly managed ascent from depth or aviators flying in inadequately pressurised aircraft. Air embolism Arterial gas embolism AGE , which is gas bubbles in the bloodstream. In the context of DCI these may form either as a result of precipitation of dissolved gas into the blood on depressurisation, as for DCS above, or by gas entering the blood mechanically as a result of pulmonary barotrauma . Pulmonary barotrauma is a rupturing of the lungs by internal over pressurisation caused by the expansion of air held in the lungs on depressurisation such as a scuba diver ascending while holding the breath or the explosive decompression of an aircraft cabin or other working environment. Mechanisms of injury Refer to the main article decompression sickness for the mechanism of injury behind DCS. Refer to the main article Gas embolism Gas embolism in diving arterial gas embolism for the mechanism of injury behind AGE. Signs and symptoms Below is a summary comparison of the signs and symptoms of DCI arising from its two components Decompression Sickness and Arterial Gas Embolism .

Terminal Illness Insurance known as Accelerated Death benefit in North America pays out a capital sum if the policyholder is diagnosed with a terminal illness from which the policyholder is expected to die within 12 months of diagnosis , by a physician who specialises in that illness or condition. Terminal Illness Insurance is a form of insurance that is often added to a life insurance policy or a Mortgage Life Insurance policy by the insurance company issuing the policy. Terminal Illness Insurance is not available as a separate insurance policy. If a life insurance policyholder also has terminal illness insurance, then he she has the benefit of knowing that if he she is diagnosed with a serious illness and is expected to die within 12 months of diagnosis, then the combined policy will pay out straight away rather than waiting for the policyholder to die as would happen if the policyholder did not have terminal illness insurance . Do not confuse terminal illness insurance with critical illness insurance . The two forms of insurance are very different.
