Miller Fisher Syndrome is a descending paralysis. It is the reverse variant of Guillain-Barr? syndrome. GBS exhibits an ascending paralysis from the legs spreading to the upper limbs and face with complete loss of deep tendon reflexes. [read more] - Miller-Dieker Syndrome
Miller-Dieker syndrome is a disease, which is characterised by the brain's developmental defect. [read more] - Milliaria
Milliaria most commonly known as heat rush or prickly heat, is a condition usually affecting children and even adults leaving in tropical climates where the weather is hot or humid. It occurs when the sweat ducts are blocked and the perspiration is stucked in the skin causing rashes and redness of the affected skin, it may also be in a form of small blisters that is often very itchy. [read more] - Mineral Deficiency
Mineral deficiency is characterized by the insufficiency of essential minerals that are vital in the functioning of the body's organ systems. Common types of mineral deficiency are inadequate levels of iodine, iron, and calcium. [read more] - Minimal Change Disease
Minimal change disease is a kidney disease that is common among children. It is also known as lipoid nephrosis and nil disease. [read more] - Minkowski-Chauffard Disease
Minkowski-Chauffard syndrome is a type of hemolytic anemia that is by hemolysis, a process during which the red blood cells undergo an abnormal breakdown. [read more] - Mitochondrial Disease
Mitochondrial diseases are a group of disorders relating to the mitochondria, the organelles that are the "powerhouses" of the eukaryotic cells that comprise higher-order lifeforms (including humans). The mitochondrion changes the energy of food molecules into the ATP that powers most cell functions. [read more] - Mitochondrial Diseases
Mitochondrial disorders are disorders that affect the skeletal muscles as well as the heart muscles causing problems in the body's organs such as the nervous system, visual system, renal system and, digestive and circulatory systems. [read more] - Mitochondrial Trifunctional Protein Deficiency
Mitochondrial trifunctional protein deficiency is a disorder that prevents certain fats in the body to convert to energy, specifically during periods of no food. [read more] - Mitral Atresia
Mitral atresia is a congenital defect wherein the mitral valve is closed prohibiting the flow of blood between the two heart chambers. [read more] - Mitral valve prolapse
A valvular heart disease, Mitral valve prolapse is characterized by the displacement of an abnormally thickened mitral valve leaflet into the left atrium during systole. MVP, in its nonclassis form, carries a low risk of complications. Severe cases of MVP though may include complications such as infective endocarditis, regurgitation and in rare circumstances, cardiac arrest that usually results to sudden death. The term for the disease was coined by J. Michael Criley in 1966. It gained acceptance over JB Barlow's ?billowing? of the mitral valve description. MVP has different subtypes namely classic, nonclassic, symmetric, asymmetric, flail or non-flail. The subtypes are based on the leaflet thickness, convacity and type of connection to the mitral annulus. [read more] - Mitral Valve Prolapse, Familial, Autosomal Dominant
Mitral valve prolapse is a heart disease in which during systole, the mitral valve leaflet is displaced into the left atrium. An individual with this disease has an abnormally thick mitral valve leaflet. [read more] - Mitral valve prolapse, familial, x-linked
This heart disease is congenital where an abnormal heart valve (mitral valve) fails to close properly and allows some blood to leak through. [read more] - Mitral Valve Regurgitation
Mitral valve regurgitation otherwise known as the mitral regurgitation or the mitral insufficiency, or the mitral incompetence, is a medical condition where the heart's mitral valve does not close tightly causing the blood to flow back in the heart causing fatigue and shortness of breathing. [read more] - Mitral Valve Stenosis
Mitral valve stenosis otherwise known as the mitral stenosis is a condition whereby the heart mitral valve is narrowed which thereby prevents the valve from opening fully and causes obstruction of blood flow between the left chamber of the heart. [read more] - Mittelschmerz
Mittelschmerz, a German word to refer middle pain, is condition where there is pain on one side of the lower abdomen that usually occurs in women midway or 14 days before their menstrual period. [read more] - Mixed connective tissue disease
A disease also known as Sharp syndrome, mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) is a term used by some experts to describe a collection of symptoms similar to those of systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, polymyositis, and dermatomyositis. MCTD is a serious autoimmune disease in which the body's defense system attacks itself. [read more] - Mobius syndrome
Named after German neurologist Paul Julius Mobius, Mobius/Moebius syndrome is an extremely neurological disorder. [read more] - Mody Diabetes
MODY diabetes is short for Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young, and pertains to a rare type of diabetes mellitus types that is genetically inherited. [read more] - MODY syndrome
Referring to any several rare hereditary forms of diabetes mellitus due to dominantly inherited defects of insulin secretion, maturity onset diabetes of the young or MODY acts like a mild version of type 1 diabetes. the continued partial insulin production and normal insulin sensitivity however mean it is not type 2 diabetes in a young person. The most common forms of the disease are MODY 2 and MODY 3 but as of 2004, six more types have been named and more are likely to be added. [read more]
