Abercrombie disease (aka Abercrombie syndrome) | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyloid_degeneration | Treatments for ATTR-related neuropathy include TTR-specific oligonucleotides in the form of small interfering RNA (patisiran) or antisense inotersen,[52] the former having recently received FDA approval.[53] Research into treatments for ATTR amyloidosis have compared liver transplantation, oral drugs that stabilize the misfolding protein (including tafamidis and diflunisal), and newer therapeutic agents still being investigated (including patisiran).[54] Based on available research, liver transplant remains the most effective treatment option for advanced ATTR amyloidosis, protein stabilizing drugs may slow disease progression but were insufficient to justify delay of liver transplant, and newer agents such as patisiran require additional studies.[54]

Achard–Thiers syndrome | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achard%E2%80%93Thiers_syndrome | Diabetes can be controlled with food, insulin, and other medications as needed. To make hair removal easier, cosmetic procedures like electrolysis and waxing can be employed. Oral contraceptive therapy is the most common treatment for younger women with PCOS, while hormone replacement therapy is typically advised for postmenopausal women with Achard-Thiers syndrome. There has also been use of antiandrogens.[2]

Addison disease | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addison%27s_disease | In dogs, hypoadrenocorticism has been diagnosed in many breeds.[48] Vague symptoms, which wax and wane, can cause delay in recognition of the presence of the disease.[55] Female dogs appear more affected than male dogs, though this may not be the case in all breeds.[55][56] The disease is most often diagnosed in dogs that are young to middle-aged, but it can occur at any age from 4 months to 14 years.[55] Treatment of hypoadrenocorticism must replace the hormones (cortisol and aldosterone) which the dog cannot produce itself.[57] This is achieved either by daily treatment with fludrocortisone, or monthly injections with desoxycorticosterone pivalate (DOCP) and daily treatment with a glucocorticoid, such as prednisone.[57] Several follow-up blood tests are required so the dose can be adjusted until the dog is receiving the correct amount of treatment, because the medications used in the therapy of hypoadrenocorticism can cause excessive thirst and urination if not prescribed at the lowest effective dose.[57] In anticipation of stressful situations, such as staying in a boarding kennel, dogs require an increased dose of prednisone.[57] Lifelong treatment is required, but the prognosis for dogs with hypoadrenocorticism is very good.[55]

Alström syndrome | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alstr%C3%B6m_syndrome | Research was conducted in 2014 on Alström syndrome patients regarding degeneration and plasticity of the optic pathway. The functional and structural changes have been investigated on the optic pathway in Alström syndrome by using magnetic resonance imaging to provide better insight on the underlying pathogenic mechanisms. Eleven patients with the syndrome (mean age of 23 years, 5 females, 6 males) underwent a brain MRI. The protocol also included conventional sequences, resting-state functional MRI and diffusion tensor imaging. Results found that patients with Alström syndrome had occipital regions with decreased white matter volume as well as decreased gray matter volume sparing the occipital poles. The diffused fractional anisotropy decreased and the radial diffusivity increased while mean and axial diffusivities were normal. Lastly, the reduced connectivity in the medial visual network was strikingly sparing the occipital poles. The conclusion of the research was that the protean occipital brain changes in patients with Alström syndrome. They are likely to reflect coexistence of diffuse primary myelin derangement, anterograde trans-synaptic degeneration and complex cortical reorganization that affect the posterior and anterior visual cortex.[18]

Babesiosis | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babesiosis | Veterinary treatment of babesiosis does not normally use antibiotics. In livestock and animals, diminazen (Berenil), imidocarb, or trypan blue would be the drugs of choice for treatment of B. canis rossi (dogs in Africa), B. bovis, and B. bigemina (cattle in Southern Africa). In acute cases in cattle, blood transfusion may be carried out. A vaccine is effective against B. canis canis (dogs in the Mediterranean region), but is ineffective against B. c. rossi. B. imitans causes a mild form of the disease that frequently resolves without treatment (dogs in Southeast Asia).[citation needed]

Bang disease | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brucellosis | Hunters may be at additional risk for exposure to brucellosis due to increased contact with susceptible wildlife, including predators that may have fed on infected prey. Hunting dogs can also be at risk of infection.[62] Exposure can occur through contact with open wounds or by directly inhaling the bacteria while cleaning game.[63] In some cases, consumption of undercooked game can result in exposure to the disease.[63] Hunters can limit exposure while cleaning game through the use of precautionary barriers, including gloves and masks, and by washing tools rigorously after use.[60][64] By ensuring that game is cooked thoroughly, hunters can protect themselves and others from ingesting the disease.[63] Hunters should refer to local game officials and health departments to determine the risk of brucellosis exposure in their immediate area and to learn more about actions to reduce or avoid exposure.[citation needed]

Batten disease | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batten_disease | In complex diseases such as Batten, therapies that address multiple aspects of the disease at the same time have the potential for higher impact than those focusing on one aspect. "The use of several treatment strategies might offer additional benefits to patients with neurodegenerative disease, but the benefits of this approach must be weighed carefully against the additional adverse effects that combined treatments might bring," the researchers wrote. The medical team also noted that "over the past two decades, scientists and clinicians within the Batten disease community have worked to ensure that tools are in place to enable progress towards effective treatments at an unprecedented pace. "Recent progress in Batten disease research offers hope that efficient and targeted therapies will be available soon," the researchers said, noting that "the Batten disease research community is becoming a model of how effective, efficient rare disease research can be accomplished by working together."

Bernheim syndrome | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernheim_syndrome | In the medical community, however, it is believed that Bernheim syndrome does not actually exist and is only an observed side effect of another condition such as left ventricular hypertrophy. This is due to the lack of finding regarding sole right ventricle compression, without accompaniment of left ventricular hypertrophy, which is expected to encroach into the right ventricular space. It is claimed that there is no observation of a rightward shift of the ventricular septum as is described by Bernheim. Furthermore, using evidence from right and left peak systolic pressures, they determined there was no evidence of right ventricular stenosis to begin with.[1] When right ventricular heart failure is found without left ventricular heart failure, it was accompanied by pulmonary embolism and/or mitral valve stenosis.[4] It is because of these findings that there has been a movement to remove Bernheim syndrome from medical terminology.[citation needed]

Biermer anaemia | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biermer_anaemia | Treatment using oral drugs is an easier option in management but the bioavailabity of B12 is low. This is due to low absorption in the intestine, and breakdown by enzyme activity. Research continues to focus on the use of permeation enhancers or permeation absorbers in combination with the treatment. One of the better performing enhancers studied is salcoprozate sodium (SNAC).[79][80] SNAC is able to form a noncovalent complex with cobalamin while preserving its chemical integrity and protect B12 from gastric acidity.[81] This complex is much more lipophilic than the water-soluble vitamin B12, so is able to pass through cellular membranes with greater ease. Molecular dynamics are used in experiments to gain an understanding of the molecular interactions involved in the different molecules used and the degree of ease achieved in absorption across the gastric epithelium.[79]

It was only 80 years later that there was a meeting with a group of people at the 8th International Workshop on WM to come up with broad diagnostic criteria for BNS. This group of people included radiologists, immunologists, hematologists, and neurologists from all over the world using PubMed as their source for the guideline. The first draft was reviewed by a multidisciplinary team of experts in WM.[4][7]

Blount syndrome | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blount_disease | Blount disease is named after Walter Putnam Blount (1900–1992), an American pediatric orthopedic surgeon, who described it in 1937.[13][14] It has also been known as Mau-Nilsonne syndrome, after C. Mau and H. Nilsonne, who published early case reports of the condition.[15][16] it is today considered an acquired disease of the proximal tibial metaphysis rather than an epiphyseal dysplasia or osteochondrosis.[11]

Boerhaave syndrome | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boerhaave_syndrome | With the exception of a few case reports describing survival without surgery,[2] the mortality of untreated Boerhaave syndrome is 100%.[12] With surgical intervention, the mortality rate decreases to 30%.[12] Its treatment includes immediate antibiotic therapy to prevent mediastinitis and sepsis, surgical repair of the perforation,[13] and if there is significant fluid loss it should be replaced with IV fluid therapy since oral rehydration is not possible. Even with early surgical intervention (within 24 hours) the risk of death is 25%.[14]

Bowen disease | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowen_disease | Squamous-cell carcinoma of the skin can be found on all areas of the body but is most common on frequently sun-exposed areas, such as the face, legs and arms.[66] Solid organ transplant recipients (heart, lung, liver, pancreas, among others) are also at a heightened risk of developing aggressive, high-risk cSCC. There are also a few rare congenital diseases predisposed to cutaneous malignancy. In certain geographic locations, exposure to arsenic in well water[67] or from industrial sources may significantly increase the risk of cSCC.[26]

Brailsford–Morquio syndrome | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morquio_syndrome | The condition was first described, simultaneously and independently, in 1929, by Luis Morquio (1867–1935),[10] a prominent Uruguayan physician who discovered it in Montevideo, and James Frederick Brailsford (1888–1961), an English radiologist in Birmingham, England.[11][12] They both recognized the occurrence of corneal clouding, aortic valve disease, and urinary excretion of keratan sulfate. Morquio observed the disorder in four siblings in a family of Swedish descent and reported his observations in French.{{<[13]}}

Bright disease | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bright_disease | Bright's disease was historically treated with warm baths, blood-letting, squill, digitalis, mercuric compounds, opium, diuretics, laxatives[2][8] and dietary therapy, including abstinence from alcoholic drinks, cheese and red meat. Arnold Ehret was diagnosed with Bright's disease and pronounced incurable by 24 of Europe's most respected doctors; he designed The Mucusless Diet Healing System, which apparently cured his illness. William Howard Hay, had the illness and, it is claimed, cured himself using the Hay diet.[9]

Brock syndrome | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atelectasis | The primary treatment for acute massive atelectasis is correction of the underlying cause. A blockage that cannot be removed by coughing or by suctioning the airways often can be removed by bronchoscopy. Antibiotics are given for an infection. Chronic atelectasis is often treated with antibiotics because infection is almost inevitable. In certain cases, the affected part of the lung may be surgically removed when recurring or chronic infections become disabling or bleeding is significant. If a tumor is blocking the airway, relieving the obstruction by surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or laser therapy may prevent atelectasis from progressing and recurrent obstructive pneumonia from developing.
