Diseases/Injuries/Illnesses
ALTARIAN ENCEPHALITIS: retrovirus that integrates itself
into the hosts DNA,
lying dormant for years and can activate at any time without
warning. Symptoms
include a pyrexic and comatose state, long term memory loss and
a gradual
synaptic degradation
APHASIA: is a dysfunction of certain brain centers affecting
the ability to communicate in a coherent manner. Different forms
of aphasia exist.
APHASIA VIRUS: was created by Bajoran a scientist, intended
to be used as a terrorist weapon against the Cardassians. The microbe
would have been delivered through an aphasia device planted in a
food replicator by the Bajoran underground. Once contracted, the
virus would find its way to temporal lobes and disrupt normal communication
processes, causing unusual disabilities that eventually will cause
death.
ANDRONIAN ENCEPHALITIS: influenza like disease transmitted
by airborne
particles. Can be deadly if left uncontrolled.
BARCLAY'S PROTOMORPHIC SYNDROME: Resultant from the activation
of dormant T- Cells upon the redundant DNA codes of every humanoid. As
a result patients de- evolve, via a spread of the altered DNA through the
immune system.
BENDII SYNDROME: Rare illness that affects Vulcans over
200 yrs of age.
Symptoms include gradual loss of emotional control, bursts of
emotion and anger (which may be telepathically transferred to others).
Diagnosis is achieved by taking a tissue sample of the hypothalamus.
CARTALIAN FEVER: Deadly virus disease.
CORRELLIUM FEVER: is a disease that broke out on planet
Nahmi IV (2366).
DOREK SYNDROME: A rare, incurable, fatal disease which
strikes, one out of
every five million Ferengi.
EOSINOPHILIA: is an abnormally high count of cerium eosinophils,
a type of white blood cell in humanoids.
HOLODICTION: Psychological condition, recognized by the
patient’s addiction to
holodeck simulation.
HYPERACCELERATION: is a biochemical condition that plagues
people due to radiation permeating water supplies. Hyper-acceleration of
biological processes caused an individual to experience one second as if
it were an entire hour. Outsiders who were accelerated quickly burned
out, dying in a very short period of time due to cell damage. To
a normal, none accelerated person sounds very much like an insect.
IRESINE SYNDROME: is a very rare neurological disorder
in humanoids characterized by a peculiar electropathic signature in the
thalamus, and a severely decreased histamine count. Victims first
disorder would fall suddenly into a coma for approx 72 hours. Diagnosis
could be confused by the presence of any of 22 different substances
that left electropathic residue resembling that of this disorder.
IVERSON'S DISEASE: Chronic disease, causing fatal degradation
of muscular
functions in humans. No cure exists.
NEURAL DEPLETION: is complete loss of electrochemical
energy of a human brain, resulting in the death of a victim. Some species
actually derive this energy to digest.
NEURAL METAPHASIC SHOCK: in potentially fatal failure
of the neurological
system in humanoids.
NITROGEN NARCOSIS: is a hazard of deep-sea diving. It
is a cause of the replacement of oxygen in oxyhaemoglobin with nitrogen.
The resultant anoxia produced disorientation, hallucination and lack
of judgment in the victims. This phenomenon is similar to temporal
narcosis.
ORB SHADOW: Psychedelic reaction to a neuro peptide excess
that may follow
months to years after an Orb encounter. Associated with Bajoran
theology of
the Orbs.
ORKETT’S SYNDROME: Childhood hematopathogenic common throughout
Bajoran refugee. Among the symptoms was an alteration of erythrocytic
marker factors. Thousands of Bajoran children died. The preferred treatment
often involved
bone marrow transplantation procedures. The disease was common
enough to be
well-documented.
PSI 2000 VIRUS: a water-based disease organism originally
found on planet PSI 2000 in 2266. This virus affects people by causing
suppression of their inhibitions, and ultimately their deaths.
RUGELAN FEVER: A disease which causes a deep coma in Trills.
SOMATOPHYSICAL FAILURE: in humanoid physiology, is the
collapse of
all bodily systems. I'm afraid, to my knowledge, there is little
one can do besides Cordrazine and hope. In nearly all cases, the
subject dies.
TAHITI SYNDROME: is a term for human longing for a peaceful,
idyllic natural setting when suffering from the stresses of modern Starship
life. This is common's experienced by Starship Captain, send them
into a holodeck every now and then =).
TRANSPORTER PSYCHOSIS: is a rare medical disorder caused
by a
breakdown of neurochemical molecules during transport. Transporter
psychosis
was first diagnosed in 2209 by researchers. The condition affected
the higher brain functions, as well as autonomic systems and body
motor functions. Victims were found to suffer from paranoid delusions,
multi-infarct dementia. tactile and visual hallucinations, and psychogenic
hysteria. Peripheral symptoms included sleepless, accelerated heart
rate, myopia, muscular spasms, and dehydration. This problem was
eliminated with the development of the multiplex pattern buffer,
found in UCIP transporters to Larosian Virus - Mild disorder, commonly
recognized by a subjects amorous behavior and other out of the normal
behavior.
TUVAN SYNDROME: A degenerative, incurable neurological
disease which affects
mainly Vulcans, Romulans, and Riggelians. In the very early stages,
the patient’s eyelids are slightly displaced, facial muscles are
weakened, and respiration is irregular. Loss of motor skills occurs
in 10-15 years; life expectancy is 20-25 years. In less then 5 percent
of the cases, the disease can accelerate without warning.
YARIM-FEL SYNDROME: A terminal illness affecting Cardassians;
it attacks the
digestive tract, circulatory and respiratory systems, and cartilaginous
tissues. It can be treated with hexagen therapy or neuro-regeneration
procedures. There is no cure. |
