c Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Any disorder that persistently obstructs bronchial airflow. COPD mainly involves two
related diseases -- chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Both cause chronic obstruction of air flowing through the airways and in and
out of the lungs. The obstruction is generally permanent and progresses (becomes worse) over time.

Gastroenteritis

à


Gastroenteritis is a catchall term for infection or irritation of the digestive tract, particularly the stomach and
intestine. It is frequently referred to as the stomach or intestinal flu, although the influenza virus is not associated
with this illness. Major symptoms include nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. These symptoms
are sometimes also accompanied by fever and overall weakness. Gastroenteritis typically lasts about three days.
Adults usually recover without problem, but children, the elderly, and anyone with an underlying disease are more
vulnerable to complications such as dehydration.
