Demonstration that the effects of thyrotoxicosis or goiter are due to an excess or deficiency in (thyroxine + T3) secretion does not explain how the diseases originate nor why development and metabolic rate are affected. It is thought that some cases of thyrotoxicosis (Graves disease) may be caused by abnormal immune responses mimicking the effects of thyroid-stimulating hormone on the thyroid gland. 

This fungal disease originates from the soil or other clematis plants. It is thought infection occurs in conditions of high humidity. Infection enters through small wounds caused, for example, by birds, insects, or bruising by plant ties. 

By now, we have put together a lot of the cancer story. We know that cancer is a disease originating in a single cell that has overcome the normal limits to its growth and proliferation and that mutations in proto-oncogenes and/or tumor suppressor genes are required for this to happen. Beyond that, we know that multiple such mutations are usually required. 

Headache is one of the most frequent complaints which mankind suffers from. Most commonly the headache starts from one of the pain sensitive structures of the skull, but diseases originating outside the skull are also important causes of headache. Diseases of the eye, sinuses, jaw, teeth and neck often cause headache, but also visceral tissue may give rise to headache. The headache may be secondary to many diseases, e.g. anaemia and hypertension. Drug induced headache is not uncommon, either as an adverse reaction, e.g. to calcium antagonists and SSRIs, or as part of more complex problems in chronic headache.

The term kwashiorkor refers to a disease originally seen in African children suffering from a protein deficiency. It is characterized by marked hypoalbuminemia, anemia, edema, pot belly, loss of hair, and other signs of tissue injury. The term marasmus is used for prolonged protein-calorie malnutrition, particularly in young children. 

Disease can be defined according to the sites and types of specific biochemical processes. The disease originally called Graves Disease and now called hyperthyroidism is manifest by increased expression of the sodium/iodide transporter, which results in increased accumulation of iodide, increased synthesis of thyroxin and other thyroid hormones, and increased cellular metabolism. Detection of one or more of these abnormal processes can be holons in the diagnosis of a patient s disease.
