PBFD
What is PBFD ?
Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease
Beak and psitacin disease (PBFD) is a viral disease that affects all parrots of the old world and the new world. The causative virus-beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) - belongs to the taxonomic genus Circovirus, the family Circoviridae. It attacks the feather follicles and matrix of the bird's beak and claw, causing deformity and progressive necrosis of the feather, claw and beak. In the later stages of the disease, the contraction of the feather stem occurs, disrupting feather growth until eventually all feather growth stops. Occurs in an acute fatal and chronic form.
< br>cracking and peeling of the outer layers of the claw and beak makes tissues vulnerable to secondary infection. Since the virus also affects thymus and Boris Fabricius, it slows down the production of lymphocytes, suppression of the immune system occurs, and the bird becomes more vulnerable to secondary infections. A ruptured beak and hard palate necrosis can prevent the bird from eating....
NF
What is NF ?
Necrotizing Fasciitis
Necrosis of the sheath (NF), commonly called carnivorous disease is a type of infection that leads to the death of soft tissue in the body. This deadly disease spreads rapidly. Symptoms include: red or purple skin in the affected area, severe pain, fever and vomiting. Most areas are at risk of organ and perineal infection.

typically the infection enters the body through a break in the skin such as an incision or burn. Risk factors include weak immune system function such as diabetes, cancer, obesity, alcohol addiction, drug use required intravenous injections, and peripheral vascular disease. The disease is not normally spread among people. The disease is divided into four classifications, depending on the infectious organism. Between 55% and 80% of cases involve more than one type of bacteria. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is involved in a third of cases. Medical imaging is useful for confirming the diagnosis....
HMPV
What is HMPV ?
Human MetaPneumoVirus
Human metapnomovirus (HMPV or hMPV) is a single-stranded, negative-side Arran virus of the family pneumoviridae, close to the subgroup of avian metapnomovirus (AMPV).

was first isolated in the Netherlands in 2001 using the random reproduction method of polymorphism (arbitrary arbitrary PCR), a technique for identifying unknown viruses growing in the culture medium. As of 2016, the virus was the second most common cause (after respiratory sensational virus (RSV)) of acute respiratory tract disease in healthy children under 5 years of age in an outpatient ward in the United States....
BSL
What is BSL ?
British Sigh Language
English sign language or British Sign Language, abbreviated BSL, is a sign language used in the United Kingdom and is the first language or preferred language of some deaf people in the United Kingdom. The language uses space and involves the movement of the Hand, Body, Head and face.
many of the thousands who are deaf, as well as deaf relatives, sign language interpreters or others in contact with the UK deaf community use BSL. In 2011, 15,000 people living in England and Wales reported BSL as their primary language....
IHD
What is IHD ?
Ischemic Heart Disease
In medicine, IHD refers to ischemic heart disease, called disorders related to blood flow to the heart muscle. The disease is usually caused by the accumulation of fatty plaques in blood vessels....

CXR
What is CXR ?
Chest X Ray
A chest radiograph, called a chest X-ray (CXR), or chest film, is a projection radiograph of the chest used to diagnose conditions affecting the chest, its contents, and nearby structures. Chest radiographs are the most common film taken in medicine.

Like all methods of radiography, chest radiography employs ionizing radiation in the form of X-rays to generate images of the chest. The mean radiation dose to an adult from a chest radiograph is around 0.02 mSv (2 mrem) for a front view (PA, or posteroanterior) and 0.08 mSv (8 mrem) for a side view (LL, or latero-lateral). Together, this corresponds to a background radiation equivalent time of about 10 days....
PCCT
What is PCCT ?
Photon-Counting Computed Tomography
Photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) is a form of X-ray computed tomography (CT) in which X-rays are detected using a photon-counting detector (PCD) which registers the interactions of individual photons. By keeping track of the deposited energy in each interaction, the detector pixels of a PCD each record an approximate energy spectrum, making it a spectral or energy-resolved CT technique. In contrast, more conventional CT scanners use energy-integrating detectors (EIDs), where the total energy (generally from a large number of photons as well as electronic noise) deposited in a pixel during a fixed period of time is registered. These EIDs thus register only photon intensity, comparable to black-and-white photography, whereas PCDs register also spectral information, similar to color photography.

The first clinically-approved PCCT system was cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in September 2021....
