born with fetal alcohol syndrome, which often consists of growth
retardation, unusual facial features, and mental retardation.Substance abuse during pregnancy21728 421728 5The fetus grows and develops due to the nourishment from the mother
via the placenta. Along with nutrients, any toxins in the mother's
system may be delivered to the fetus. These toxins often cause
damage to the fragile, developing fetal organs. Depending on the
organs affected, long-term effects may be severe, including mental
problems such as retardation and seizures.Drug abuse and dependenceBabies and diarrheaFetal alcohol syndromeSeizuresSoySoy2006-11-04 00:53:55.0SoySoySoySoyCoronary heart diseaseOsteoporosisBreast cancerEndometrial cancerProstate cancerHeart disease and womenHeart disease and women2006-11-04 00:53:32.0Heart disease and womenHeart disease and womenAcute MI17004 4Acute MIA heart attack or acute myocardial infarction (MI) occurs when one
of the arteries that supplies the heart muscle becomes blocked.
Blockage may be caused by spasm of the artery or by atherosclerosis
with acute clot formation. The blockage results in damaged tissue
and a permanent loss of contraction of this portion of the heart
muscle.Heart, front view1097 4Heart, front viewThe external structures of the heart include the ventricles, atria,
arteries and veins. Arteries carry blood away from the heart while
veins carry blood into the heart. The vessels colored blue indicate
the transport of blood with relatively low content of oxygen and
high content of carbon dioxide. The vessels colored red indicate
the transport of blood with relatively high content of oxygen and
low content of carbon dioxide.Heart, section through the middle1056 4Heart, section through the middleThe interior of the heart is composed of valves, chambers, and

between the bladder and rectum. The ovaries produce the eggs that
travel through the fallopian tubes. Once the egg has left the ovary
it can be fertilized and implant itself in the lining of the
uterus. The main function of the uterus is to nourish the
developing fetus prior to birth.HysterectomyChickenpox - vaccineChickenpox - vaccine2006-11-04 00:53:05.0Chickenpox - vaccineChickenpox - vaccineChickenpox - lesions on the chest1301 41301 5This picture shows chickenpox lesions on the chest. A vaccine for
chickenpox has been approved for use in the United States.
Chickenpox remains a common infectious disease, and most people are
familiar with its appearance. (Image courtesy of the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention.)Chickenpox - lesion on the leg1302 41302 5This is a typical chickenpox lesion seen here on the leg. (Image

acute pneumonia following chickenpox. Pneumonia, as a complication
of chickenpox, rarely occurs in children, but occurs in about
one-fifth of adults.Chickenpox19655 419655 5Chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, a member of the
herpesvirus family. The same virus also causes herpes zoster,
shingles, in adults. Chickenpox is extremely contagious, and can be
spread by direct contact, droplet transmission, and airborne
transmission. Symptoms range from fever, headache, stomach ache, or
loss of appetite before breaking out in the classic pox rash. The
rash can consist of several hundred small, itchy, fluid-filled
blisters over red spots on the skin. The blisters often appear
first on the face, trunk, or scalp and then spread to other parts
of the body.Chickenpox - close-up2318 4Chickenpox - close-upThis is a close-up picture of chickenpox. Early chickenpox lesions
consist of small red papules which quickly fill with a yellowish or
straw colored fluid to form small blisters (vesicles), as seen in
this photograph. Later, these vesicles will rupture forming shallow
erosions that crust over and then ultimately heal.ChickenpoxHerpes zosterFeverSeizuresPneumoniaAnaphylaxisHepatitis A - vaccineHepatitis A - vaccine2006-11-04 00:52:44.0Hepatitis A - vaccineHepatitis A - vaccineHepatitis AAntibodyImmunizations - general overviewFeverAging changes in the lungsAging changes in the lungs2006-11-04 00:52:36.0Aging changes in the lungsAging changes in the lungsRespiratory cilia19533 419533 5The bronchus in the lungs are lined with hair-like projections

bloodstream to be transported to various organs and tissues
throughout the body. For instance, the pancreas secretes insulin,
which allows the body to regulate levels of sugar in the blood. The
thyroid gets instructions from the pituitary to secrete hormones
which determine the pace of chemical activity in the body (the more
hormone in the bloodstream, the faster the chemical activity; the
less hormone, the slower the activity).Monitor blood glucose - seriesMonitor blood glucose - series2007-03-27 13:09:58.0Diabetic blood circulation in foot19290 419290 5People with diabetes are at risk for blood vessel injury, which may
