Medical Topics
Medicine encompasses a wide range of subjects, each dealing with particular organs, systems or kinds of illness. Surveying the main medical topics gives a sense of how the field is organised and how different conditions arise. Many specialties are defined by the body system they treat, while others focus on the cause of disease, such as infection, or on stages of life and types of care.
Cardiovascular medicine concerns the heart and circulation, and includes conditions such as high blood pressure, raised cholesterol and heart failure, which together account for much of the world's chronic illness. Endocrinology covers disorders of the hormone-producing glands, including diabetes and thyroid disease. Respiratory medicine deals with the lungs and breathing, while neurological medicine addresses the brain, spinal cord and nerves. Inflammation, the body's response to injury or infection, is a common thread linking many conditions across these systems.
Infectious topics cover diseases caused by viruses, bacteria and other microbes, and the medicines used against them, such as antibiotics for bacterial infections and vaccines that prevent infection in the first place. Other widely discussed subjects include osteoporosis, the weakening of bone, and conditions affecting everyday wellbeing. Reliable information on these topics supports informed discussion with healthcare professionals, but it complements rather than replaces a proper medical consultation and diagnosis.
Frequently asked questions
