Label	Id	Description
Positive-Pressure Respiration, Intrinsic	D018467	[Non-therapeutic positive end-expiratory pressure occurring frequently in patients with severe airway obstruction. It can appear with or without the administration of external positive end-expiratory pressure (POSITIVE-PRESSURE RESPIRATION). It presents an important load on the inspiratory muscles which are operating at a mechanical disadvantage due to hyperinflation. Auto-PEEP may cause profound hypotension that should be treated by intravascular volume expansion, increasing the time for expiration, and/or changing from assist mode to intermittent mandatory ventilation mode. (From Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, 12th ed, p1127)]
Post-Concussion Syndrome	D038223	[The organic and psychogenic disturbances observed after closed head injuries (HEAD INJURIES, CLOSED). Post-concussion syndrome includes subjective physical complaints (i.e. headache, dizziness), cognitive, emotional, and behavioral changes. These disturbances can be chronic, permanent, or late emerging.]
Post-Dural Puncture Headache	D051299	[A secondary headache disorder attributed to low CEREBROSPINAL FLUID pressure caused by SPINAL PUNCTURE, usually after dural or lumbar puncture.]
Post-Exercise Hypotension	D057774	[Transient reduction in blood pressure levels immediately after exercises that lasts 2-12 hours. The reduction varies but is typically 5-20 mm Hg when compared to pre-exercise levels. It exists both in normotensive and hypertensive individuals and may play a role in excercise related PHYSIOLOGIC ADAPTATION.]
Post-Lyme Disease Syndrome	D000077342	[A subjective syndrome that occurs following standard antibiotic treatment of Lyme disease. It includes FATIGUE; MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN; and neurocognitive dysfunction., A condition caused by long-lasting and ongoing infection with the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi resulting in progressive inflammatory neurologic, neuromuscular, and dermatologic manifestations including ENCEPHALITIS; MYELITIS; acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans; and ARTHRITIS.]
Post-Traumatic Headache	D051298	[Secondary headache attributed to TRAUMA of the HEAD and/or the NECK.]
Postcholecystectomy Syndrome	D017562	[A complication after CHOLEDOCHODUODENOSTOMY when food, stones, or other debris accumulate in the common bile duct., Abdominal symptoms after removal of the GALLBLADDER. The common postoperative symptoms are often the same as those present before the operation, such as COLIC, bloating, NAUSEA, and VOMITING. There is pain on palpation of the right upper quadrant and sometimes JAUNDICE. The term is often used, inaccurately, to describe such postoperative symptoms not due to gallbladder removal.]
Posterior Capsular Rupture, Ocular	D057851	[A breach in the continuity of the posterior chamber of the eyeball.]
Posterior Cervical Sympathetic Syndrome	D055010	[A pathological condition that is characterized by a host of cranial symptoms, such as headaches, abnormal functions of the eyes and the ears, and psychological and mental disorders. This syndrome usually appears after neck injuries, inflammation, or neoplasm.]
Posterior Leukoencephalopathy Syndrome	D054038	[A condition that is characterized by HEADACHE; SEIZURES; and visual loss with edema in the posterior aspects of the CEREBRAL HEMISPHERES, such as the BRAIN STEM. Generally, lesions involve the white matter (nerve fibers) but occasionally the grey matter (nerve cell bodies).]
Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction	D037081	[A condition characterized by a broad range of progressive disorders ranging from TENOSYNOVITIS to tendon rupture with or without hindfoot collapse to a fixed, rigid, FLATFOOT deformity. Pathologic changes can involve associated tendons, ligaments, joint structures of the ANKLE, hindfoot, and midfoot. Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction is the most common cause of acquired flatfoot deformity in adults.]
Postgastrectomy Syndromes	D011178	[Sequelae of gastrectomy from the second week after operation on. Include recurrent or anastomotic ulcer, postprandial syndromes (DUMPING SYNDROME and late postprandial hypoglycemia), disordered bowel action, and nutritional deficiencies.]
Postmortem Changes	D011180	[Physiological changes that occur in bodies after death.]
Postoperative Complications	D011183	[Pathologic processes that affect patients after a surgical procedure. They may or may not be related to the disease for which the surgery was done, and they may or may not be direct results of the surgery.]
Postoperative Hemorrhage	D019106	[Hemorrhage following any surgical procedure. It may be immediate or delayed and is not restricted to the surgical wound.]
Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting	D020250	[Emesis and queasiness occurring after anesthesia.]
Postpartum Hemorrhage	D006473	[Excess blood loss from uterine bleeding associated with OBSTETRIC LABOR or CHILDBIRTH. It is defined as blood loss greater than 500 ml or of the amount that adversely affects the maternal physiology, such as BLOOD PRESSURE and HEMATOCRIT. Postpartum hemorrhage is divided into two categories, immediate (within first 24 hours after birth) or delayed (after 24 hours postpartum).]
Postpartum Thyroiditis	D050032	[Transient autoimmune thyroiditis occurring in the POSTPARTUM PERIOD. It is characterized by the presence of high titers of AUTOANTIBODIES against THYROID PEROXIDASE and THYROGLOBULIN. Clinical signs include the triphasic thyroid hormone pattern: beginning with THYROTOXICOSIS, followed with HYPOTHYROIDISM, then return to euthyroid state by 1 year postpartum.]
Postpericardiotomy Syndrome	D011185	[A nonspecific hypersensitivity reaction caused by TRAUMA to the PERICARDIUM, often following PERICARDIOTOMY. It is characterized by PERICARDIAL EFFUSION; high titers of anti-heart antibodies; low-grade FEVER; LETHARGY; loss of APPETITE; or ABDOMINAL PAIN.]
Postphlebitic Syndrome	D011186	[A condition characterized by a chronically swollen limb, often a leg with stasis dermatitis and ulcerations. This syndrome can appear soon after phlebitis or years later. Postphlebitic syndrome is the result of damaged or incompetent venous valves in the limbs. Distended, tortuous VARICOSE VEINS are usually present. Leg pain may occur after long period of standing.]
