Label	Id	Description
Astrocytoma	D001254	[Neoplasms of the brain and spinal cord derived from glial cells which vary from histologically benign forms to highly anaplastic and malignant tumors. Fibrillary astrocytomas are the most common type and may be classified in order of increasing malignancy (grades I through IV). In the first two decades of life, astrocytomas tend to originate in the cerebellar hemispheres; in adults, they most frequently arise in the cerebrum and frequently undergo malignant transformation. (From Devita et al., Cancer: Principles and Practice of Oncology, 5th ed, pp2013-7; Holland et al., Cancer Medicine, 3d ed, p1082)]
Sleepiness	D000077260	[Compelling urge to sleep.]
Lupus Nephritis	D008181	[Glomerulonephritis associated with autoimmune disease SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS. Lupus nephritis is histologically classified into 6 classes: class I - normal glomeruli, class II - pure mesangial alterations, class III - focal segmental glomerulonephritis, class IV - diffuse glomerulonephritis, class V - diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis, and class VI - advanced sclerosing glomerulonephritis (The World Health Organization classification 1982).]
Vein of Galen Malformations	D054080	[Congenital arteriovenous malformation involving the VEIN OF GALEN, a large deep vein at the base of the brain. The rush of arterial blood directly into the vein of Galen, without passing through the CAPILLARIES, can overwhelm the heart and lead to CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE.]
Intracranial Arteriovenous Malformations	D002538	[Congenital vascular anomalies in the brain characterized by direct communication between an artery and a vein without passing through the CAPILLARIES. The locations and size of the shunts determine the symptoms including HEADACHES; SEIZURES; STROKE; INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES; mass effect; and vascular steal effect.]
Malformations of Cortical Development, Group II	D054081	[Cortical malformations secondary to abnormal neuronal CELL MIGRATION in NEUROGENESIS. This group includes COBBLESTONE LISSENCEPHALY and PERIVENTRICULAR NODULAR HETEROTOPIA.]
Lutembacher Syndrome	D008185	[A condition characterized by a combination of OSTIUM SECUNDUM ATRIAL SEPTAL DEFECT and an acquired MITRAL VALVE STENOSIS.]
Heart Septal Defects, Atrial	D006344	[Developmental abnormalities in any portion of the ATRIAL SEPTUM resulting in abnormal communications between the two upper chambers of the heart. Classification of atrial septal defects is based on location of the communication and types of incomplete fusion of atrial septa with the ENDOCARDIAL CUSHIONS in the fetal heart. They include ostium primum, ostium secundum, sinus venosus, and coronary sinus defects.]
Bone Malalignment	D017760	[Displacement of bones out of line in relation to joints. It may be congenital or traumatic in origin.]
Rhabdomyosarcoma	D012208	[A malignant solid tumor arising from mesenchymal tissues which normally differentiate to form striated muscle. It can occur in a wide variety of sites. It is divided into four distinct types: pleomorphic, predominantly in male adults; alveolar (RHABDOMYOSARCOMA, ALVEOLAR), mainly in adolescents and young adults; embryonal (RHABDOMYOSARCOMA, EMBRYONAL), predominantly in infants and children; and botryoidal, also in young children. It is one of the most frequently occurring soft tissue sarcomas and the most common in children under 15. (From Dorland, 27th ed; Holland et al., Cancer Medicine, 3d ed, p2186; DeVita Jr et al., Cancer: Principles & Practice of Oncology, 3d ed, pp1647-9)]
Myosarcoma	D009217	[A general term for a malignant neoplasm derived from muscular tissue. (Stedman, 25th ed)]
Water Intoxication	D014869	[A condition resulting from the excessive retention of water with sodium depletion.]
Rhabdomyolysis	D012206	[Necrosis or disintegration of skeletal muscle often followed by myoglobinuria.]
Rhabdomyoma	D012207	[A benign tumor derived from striated muscle. It is extremely rare, generally occurring in the tongue, neck muscles, larynx, uvula, nasal cavity, axilla, vulva, and heart. These tumors are treated by simple excision. (Dorland, 27th ed; DeVita Jr et al., Cancer: Principles & Practice of Oncology, 3d ed, p1354)]
Myoma	D009214	[A benign neoplasm of muscular tissue. (Stedman, 25th ed)]
Eye Pain	D058447	[A dull or sharp painful sensation associated with the outer or inner structures of the eyeball, having different causes.]
Reye Syndrome	D012202	[A form of encephalopathy with fatty infiltration of the LIVER, characterized by brain EDEMA and VOMITING that may rapidly progress to SEIZURES; COMA; and DEATH. It is caused by a generalized loss of mitochondrial function leading to disturbances in fatty acid and CARNITINE metabolism.]
Contusions	D003288	[Injuries resulting in hemorrhage, usually manifested in the skin.]
Heart Injuries	D006335	[General or unspecified injuries to the heart.]
Brain Contusion	D000070624	[A bruise of the brain from an impact of the skull.]
