d) Peripheral Arterial Disease

e) Type II Diabetes

Answer 1

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is sudden damage to the brain caused by a blow or jolt to the head. Common causes include car or motorcycle crashes, falls, sports injuries, and assaults. Injuries can range from mild concussions to severe permanent brain damage. While treatment for mild TBI may include rest and medication, severe TBI may require intensive care and life-saving surgery. Those who survive a brain injury can face lasting effects in their physical and mental abilities as well as emotions and personality. Most people who suffer moderate to severe TBI will need rehabilitation to recover and relearn skills.

General intellectual disability refers to a condition in which a person has certain limitations in intellectual functions like communicating, taking care of him- or herself, and has impaired social skills. These limitations cause a child to intellectually develop more slowly than other children. These children may take longer to walk, talk, and take care of themselves than the typical, unimpaired, child. It can be caused by infection, chromosomal abnormalities or malnutrition.

Down syndrome is genetic chromosome 21 disorder that is associated with intellectual disability, a characteristic facial appearance, and weak muscle tone (hypotonia) in infancy. All affected individuals experience cognitive delays, but the intellectual disability is usually mild to moderate.

Peripheral arterial disease is a common circulatory problem in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to your limbs. It can be caused by atherosclerosis or artery spasm. It may cause pain in buttocks and legs which makes body movement difficult.

Type 2 diabetes is a progressive condition in which the body becomes resistant to the normal effects of insulin and/or gradually loses the capacity to produce enough insulin in the pancreas. Symptoms of this condition include increased thirst, frequent urination, hunger, fatigue and blurred vision. In some cases, there may be no symptoms.
