- Macrovascular disease
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
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 . Disseminated disease often contrasts localized disease . Disease stub Category Diseases and disorders Category Medical terms ... more details

- Localized disease
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.
