Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Macrovascular disease is a disease of any large macro blood vessel s in the body. It is a disease of the large blood vessels, including the coronary arteries, the aorta, and the sizable arteries in the brain and in the limbs. This sometimes occurs when a person has had diabetes for a long time. Fat and blood clot s build up in the large blood vessels and stick to the vessel walls. Three common macrovascular diseases are coronary disease in the heart , cerebrovascular disease in the brain , and peripheral vascular disease in the limbs Macrovascular disease macroangiopathy refers to atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a form of arteriosclerosis thickening and hardening of arterial walls , characterized by plaque deposits of lipids, fibrous connective tissue, calcium, and other blood substances. Atherosclerosis, by definition, affects only medium and large arteries excluding arterioles . Macrovascular disease is associated with the development of coronary artery disease, peripheral vascular disease, brain attack stroke , and increased risk of infection. Type 2 diabetes is more closely associated with macrovascular diseases than type 1 diabetes. Peripheral vascular disease and increased risk of infection have important implications in the care of the acutely ill patient.

Disseminated disease refers to a diffuse disease process, generally either infectious disease infectious or neoplastic . The term may sometimes also characterize connective tissue disease . A disseminated infection, for example, has extended beyond its origin or Locus of infection nidus and involved the bloodstream to seed other areas of the body. Similarly, one can view metastatic cancer as a disseminated infection in that it has extended into the bloodstream or into the lymphatic system and thus seeded distant sites a process known as metastasis .

A localized disease is an infection infectious or neoplastic process that originates in and is confined to one organ system or general area in the body, ref Dorland s Illustrated Medical Dictionary,28th edition. W.B.Saunders, Harcourt Brace & Company ref such as a sprain ed ankle, a boil on the hand, an abscess of finger. A localized cancer that has not extended beyond the margins of the organ involved can also be described as localized disease, while cancers that extend into other tissues are described as invasive. Tumors that are non hematologic in origin but extend into the bloodstream or lymphatic system are known as metastatic. Localized diseases are contrasted with disseminated disease s and systemic disease s. Some diseases are capable of changing from local to disseminated diseases. Pneumonia , for example, is generally confined to one or both lungs but can become disseminated through sepsis , in which the microbe responsible for the pneumonia seeds the bloodstream or lymphatic system and is transported to distant sites in the body. When that occurs, the process is no longer described as a localized disease, but rather as a disseminated disease.

A contagious disease is a subset category of infectious disease s or communicable diseases , which are easily transmitted by physical contact hence the name origin with the person suffering the disease, or by their secretions or objects touched by them. ref http www.thefreedictionary.com Contagious disease Merriam Webster dictionary definition of contagious disease. Accessed Nov. 27, 2009 ref The non contagious category of infectious communicable diseases usually require a special mode of transmission between hosts. These include need for intermediate vector species such as a mosquito for yellow fever , direct blood contact such as transfusion or needle sharing , or sexual contact examples are AIDS and hepatitis B . The boundary between contagious and non contagious infectious diseases is not perfectly drawn, as illustrated classically by tuberculosis , which is clearly transmissible from person to person, but was not classically considered a contagious disease. In the present day, most sexually transmitted diseases are considered contagious, but only some of them are subject to medical isolation. Historical meaning Originally, the term referred to a contagion derivative of contact or disease transmissible only by direct physical contact. In the modern day, the term has sometimes been broadened to encompass any communicable or infectious disease.

It is named after Welsh people Welsh twins Catherine and Kirstie Fields. Fields disease is a neuromuscular disease , exhibiting muscular degeneration. ref http news.bbc.co.uk 1 hi wales south west 4335454.stm ref Overview The disease was first noticed when the twins were around the age of four. Doctors have been unable to identify it, and have not been able to match it to any known diseases. As a result, the Fields sisters have undergone numerous tests, but nothing as of yet has been found that can mitigate the condition. There are currently no answers as to why the twins have developed this disease they have, however, come to the conclusion that the twins were born with this previously unnamed disease simply because no one else in the world has it, which means that they could not have caught it from another source in other words, this disease does not appear to be contagious . Prognosis The disease appears to be a progressive one. They started having problems when they were four years old.

Their muscles have been slowly deteriorating with each year they grow older. Having this disease ... .
