  Hirschsprung’s disease, congenital intestinal aganglionosis, digestive aganglionnosis; digestive aganglionoses PO1 PO2
  Definition: Aganglionic megacolon is associated with congenital absence of intrinsic ganglion cells in the myenteric (Auerbach) and submucosal (Meissner) plexuses of the gastrointestinal tract. The disorder is genetically heterogeneous.

• obesity
  19 April 2004

  Obesity is associated with many adverse health effects, including an increased risk of diabetes and heart disease.
  The combined condition of obesity, diabetes and heart disease is sometimes referred to as the metabolic syndrome.
  One of the factors that best correlates obesity with the rest of the metabolic syndrome is not overall body mass, but the distribution of adipose tissue in the abdominal region, visceral obesity.
  Obesity is a global epidemic resulting from sedentary lifestyles, (...)

• celiac disease
  6 April 2004

  coeliac disease; celiac sprue; gluten-sensitive enteropathy
  Definition: Celiac disease is a common autoimmune condition triggered by ingesting one of several related proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye: the gliadins, hordeins, and secalins.
  In susceptible persons, ingestion of these proteins leads to infiltration of the intestinal mucosa by both intraepithelial CD8+ lymphocytes and CD4+ lamina propria lymphocytes and, ultimately, to crypt hyperplasia and villous atrophy.
  Symptoms (...)

• metachromatic leukodystrophy

  arysulfatase A deficiency, ARSA deficiency, cerebroside sulfatase deficiency, sulfatide lipidosis, MLD, metachromatic leukodystrophy, sulfatase deficiency; metachromatic leukodystrophies
  Metachromatic Leukodystrophy is transmitted in an autosomal-recessive pattern.
  It results mostly from a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme arylsulfatase A (arylsulfatase A deficiency). This enzyme, present in a variety of tissues, cleaves the sulfate from sulfate-containing lipids (sulfatides), the first (...)

  WKP
  Definition: Lichen planus is a papulosquamous disease. In its classical presentation, it is characterized by pruritic violaceous papules most commonly on the extremities of middle-aged adults. It may or may not be accompanied by oral and genital mucous membrane involvement. Its course is generally self-limited for a period of several months to years, but it may last indefinitely.
  There are many clinical variants described, ranging from lichenoid drug eruptions to association with (...)

• erythema multiforme
  21 February 2005

  multiforme erythema WKP PO
  Definition : Erythema multiforme (EM) is a skin condition of unknown cause; it is a type of erythema possibly mediated by deposition of immune complexes (mostly IgM-bound complexes) in the superficial microvasculature of the skin and oral mucous membrane that usually follows an infection or drug exposure.
  It is an uncommon disorder, with peak incidence in the second and third decades of life.
  The disorder has various forms or presentations, which its name (...)
