Turner syndrome - Correct answer-A chromosomal disorder in females in which either

an *X chromosome* is missing, making the person XO instead of XX, or part of one X

chromosome is deleted.

Tay-Sachs Disease - Correct answer-A human genetic disease caused by a recessive

allele for a dysfunctional enzyme leads to the accumulation of certain lipids in the brain.

Seizures, blindness, and degeneration of motor and mental performance usually

become manifest a few months after birth, followed by death within a few years.

Down syndrome - Correct answer-A condition of mild to severe intellectual disability and

associated physical disorders caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21

Diabetes Insipidus - Correct answer-Antidiuretic hormone is not secreted adequately, or

the kidney is resistant to its effect. The *serum sodium is often elevated* due to excess

free water losses.

In diabetes insipidus, your blood glucose levels are normal, but your kidneys can't

properly concentrate urine.

Cardiac Valve Disease Process - Correct answer-In heart valve disease, one or more of

the valves in your heart doesn't work properly. Regurgitation (or leakage of the valve).

When the valve(s) do not close completely, it causes blood to flow backward through

the valve. This reduces forward blood flow and can lead to volume overload in the heart.

Stenosis (or narrowing of the valve). When the valve(s) opening becomes narrowed, it

limits the flow of blood out of the ventricles or atria. The heart is forced to pump blood

with increased force to move blood through the narrowed or stiff (stenotic) valve(s).

Cardiac Valve Complications - Correct answer-Heart valve disease can cause many

complications, including:

* Heart failure.

* Stroke.

* Blood clots.

* Heart rhythm abnormalities.

* Death.

Respiratory Illness from bats - Correct answer-*Viral hemorrhagic fevers* are spread by

contact with infected animals or insects. The viruses that cause viral hemorrhagic fevers

live in a variety of animal and insect hosts.
