Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that the body needs for good health, but in the right amounts. Lipoproteins are small, round particles made of lipids (fats) and proteins. These particles carry cholesterol in the blood and throughout the body. Two types of lipoproteins include: Low-density lipoprotein (LDL), sometimes called “bad” cholesterol High-density lipoprotein (HDL), sometimes called “good” cholesterol High levels of “bad” LDL cholesterol may create a buildup of plaque (fatty deposits) in the arteries. This buildup can lead to a heart attack, stroke, or other health problems. High levels of “good” HDL cholesterol may lower risk for health problems. HDL cholesterol carries cholesterol and plaque to the liver to be flushed out of the body.

Hepatitis B is a viral infection that affects liver. It causes inflammation in the liver tissues, which is what “hepatitis” means. It begins as an acute infection that’s usually short-lived. But in some people, it turns into a chronic infection that never goes away. Long-term inflammation does serious damage the liver over time. It can lead to cirrhosis and liver failure. Like other chronic liver diseases, hepatitis B infection can do this damage without causing symptoms. Many people don’t realize they’re infected.

Clinical cardiac electrophysiology, is a branch of the medical specialty of cardiology concerned with the study and treatment of rhythm disorders of the heart. Cardiologists with expertise in this area are usually referred to as electrophysiologists. Electrophysiologists are trained in the mechanism, function, and performance of the electrical activities of the heart. Electrophysiologists work closely with other cardiologists and cardiac surgeons to assist or guide therapy for heart rhythm disturbances (arrhythmias). It trained to perform interventional and surgical procedures to treat cardiac arrhythmia.

Anaphylaxis, also called allergic or anaphylactic shock, is a sudden, severe and life-threatening allergic reaction that involves the whole body. The reaction is marked by constriction of the airways, leading to difficulty breathing. Swelling of the throat may block the airway in severe cases. Gastrointestinal symptoms, such as severe abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea, may also occur. Histamines, the substances released by the body during an allergic reaction, cause the blood vessels to expand, which in turn causes a dangerous drop in blood pressure.

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that’s triggered when eat gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and other grains. The condition is also known as celiac sprue, nontropical sprue, or gluten-sensitive enteropathy. When someone with celiac disease eats or drinks something that contains gluten, their body overreacts to the protein. This damages their villi, small finger-like projections found along the wall of the small intestine.

Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver that is caused by a variety of infectious viruses and noninfectious agents leading to a range of health problems, some of which can be fatal. There are five main strains of the hepatitis virus, referred to as types A, B, C, D and E.

Shigella infection (shigellosis) is an intestinal infection caused by a family of bacteria known as shigella. The main sign of shigella infection is diarrhea, which often is bloody. Shigella is very contagious. People get infected with shigella when they come in contact with and swallow small amounts of bacteria from the stool of a person who is infected with shigella. For example, this can happen in a child care setting when staff members don't wash their hands well enough after changing diapers or helping toddlers with toilet training. Shigella bacteria can also be passed in infected food or by drinking or swimming in unsafe water.

Vasculitis is an inflammation of the blood vessels. It happens when the body's immune system attacks the blood vessel by mistake. It can happen because of an infection, a medicine, or another disease. The cause is often unknown. Vasculitis can affect arteries, veins and capillaries. Arteries are vessels that carry blood from the heart to the body's organs. Veins are the vessels that carry blood back to the heart. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels that connect the small arteries and veins. Journal of Internal Medicine and Emergency Research (ISSN-2582-7367) is accepting submissions for the upcoming issue.

Cholecystitis is inflammation in gallbladder, the small, pear-shaped organ that lives under liver and stores the bile liver makes. Gallbladder sends bile to small intestine after eat to help digest fats. It sends and receives bile through tiny pipelines called bile ducts. An infection or obstruction in gallbladder or the bile ducts connected to it can cause inflammation, pain and swelling inside it.

Organ transplantation is a medical procedure in which an organ is removed from one body and placed in the body of a recipient, to replace a damaged or missing organ. The donor and recipient may be at the same location, or organs may be transported from a donor site to another location. Organs and/or tissues that are transplanted within the same person's body are called autografts. Transplants that are recently performed between two subjects of the same species are called allografts. Allografts can either be from a living or cadaveric source.
