Label	Id	Description
Myocardial Ischemia	D017202	[A disorder of cardiac function caused by insufficient blood flow to the muscle tissue of the heart. The decreased blood flow may be due to narrowing of the coronary arteries (CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE), to obstruction by a thrombus (CORONARY THROMBOSIS), or less commonly, to diffuse narrowing of arterioles and other small vessels within the heart. Severe interruption of the blood supply to the myocardial tissue may result in necrosis of cardiac muscle (MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION).]
Cryptorchidism	D003456	[A developmental defect in which a TESTIS or both TESTES failed to descend from high in the ABDOMEN to the bottom of the SCROTUM. Testicular descent is essential to normal SPERMATOGENESIS which requires temperature lower than the BODY TEMPERATURE. Cryptorchidism can be subclassified by the location of the maldescended testis.]
Larva Migrans, Visceral	D007816	[A condition produced in man by the prolonged migration of animal nematode larvae in extraintestinal tissues other than skin; characterized by persistent hypereosinophilia, hepatomegaly, and frequently pneumonitis, commonly caused by Toxocara canis and Toxocara cati.]
Larva Migrans	D007815	[Infections caused by nematode larvae which never develop into the adult stage and migrate through various body tissues. They commonly infect the skin, eyes, and viscera in man. Ancylostoma brasiliensis causes cutaneous larva migrans. Toxocara causes visceral larva migrans.]
Toxocariasis	D014120	[Infection by round worms of the genus TOXOCARA, usually found in wild and domesticated cats and dogs and foxes, except for the larvae, which may produce visceral and ocular larva migrans in man.]
Nematode Infections	D009349	[Infections by nematodes, general or unspecified.]
Skin Diseases, Parasitic	D012876	[Skin diseases caused by ARTHROPODS; HELMINTHS; or other parasites.]
Cryptosporidiosis	D003457	[Intestinal infection with organisms of the genus CRYPTOSPORIDIUM. It occurs in both animals and humans. Symptoms include severe DIARRHEA.]
Torticollis	D014103	[A symptom, not a disease, of a twisted neck. In most instances, the head is tipped toward one side and the chin rotated toward the other. The involuntary muscle contractions in the neck region of patients with torticollis can be due to congenital defects, trauma, inflammation, tumors, and neurological or other factors., A common form of DYSTONIA due to involuntary sustained or spasmodic, repetitive muscle contractions in the neck region. According to the position of the twisted neck and head, cervical dystonia can be categorized as torticollis, laterocollis, retrocollis, and a combination of these abnormal postures., A twisted neck symptom that is caused by the spasmodic involuntary muscle contractions in the neck region.]
Dystonic Disorders	D020821	[Acquired and inherited conditions that feature DYSTONIA as a primary manifestation of disease. These disorders are generally divided into generalized dystonias (e.g., dystonia musculorum deformans) and focal dystonias (e.g., writer's cramp). They are also classified by patterns of inheritance and by age of onset.]
Dystonia	D004421	[An attitude or posture due to the co-contraction of agonists and antagonist muscles in one region of the body. It most often affects the large axial muscles of the trunk and limb girdles. Conditions which feature persistent or recurrent episodes of dystonia as a primary manifestation of disease are referred to as DYSTONIC DISORDERS. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p77)]
Torsion Abnormality	D014102	[An abnormal twisting or rotation of a bodily part or member on its axis.]
Laryngeal Edema	D007819	[Abnormal accumulation of fluid in tissues of any part of the LARYNX, commonly associated with laryngeal injuries and allergic reactions.]
Laryngeal Diseases	D007818	[Pathological processes involving any part of the LARYNX which coordinates many functions such as voice production, breathing, swallowing, and coughing., Inflammation of LARYNGEAL CARTILAGES, usually due to infections.]
Polychondritis, Relapsing	D011081	[An acquired disease of unknown etiology, chronic course, and tendency to recur. It is characterized by inflammation and degeneration of cartilage and can result in deformities such as floppy ear and saddle nose. Loss of cartilage in the respiratory tract can lead to respiratory obstruction.]
Weight Gain	D015430	[Increase in BODY WEIGHT over existing weight.]
Scleromyxedema	D053718	[A connective tissue disorder characterized by widespread thickening of SKIN with a cobblestone-like appearance. It is caused by proliferation of FIBROBLASTS and deposition of MUCIN in the DERMIS in the absence of thyroid disease. Most scleromyxedema cases are associated with a MONOCLONAL GAMMOPATHY, immunoglobulin IgG-lambda.]
Weight Loss	D015431	[Decrease in existing BODY WEIGHT.]
Pneumonia, Ventilator-Associated	D053717	[Serious INFLAMMATION of the LUNG in patients who required the use of PULMONARY VENTILATOR. It is usually caused by bacterial cross-infections in hospitals (NOSOCOMIAL INFECTIONS).]
Pneumonia	D011014	[Infection of the lung often accompanied by inflammation., Inflammation of any part, segment or lobe, of the lung parenchyma.]
