Equipment Alpha Wave Inducer: A device used to enhance sleep in humanoids. But only meant for occasional use. BioBed: Inbuilt sensor systems allow the biobed to constantly monitor factors such as heart rate, respiration, temperature, etc. These are displayed on a permanent basis, usually on a panel located at the head of the biobed, so as to present the information in the most clearly and easily accessible manner possible. As a backup to the visual presentation, biobeds can be set to give audio information, including normal functions such as heartbeat or automatic alarms should any body function fall outside a pre-set range. Corticol Stimulator: The Cortical Stimulator is a small device which is used to elevate the activity in the cortex of a patient. The stimulator is typically a small device which is attached to the cranium; it is used on patients who have reduced or damaged brain wave patterns. Dermal Regenerator: The dermal regenerator is used to repair damage to the skin of the patient, including bruising and lacerations. The device is handheld; the doctor holds it over the damaged area and moves it slowly back and forth. The treatment typically lasts only a matter of a few seconds. Defibrillator: The defibrillator is a device used to restore sinus rhythm in a patients heart after it has gone into cardiac arrhythmia. Modern defibrillators are portable handheld devices which are placed into contact with the skin directly over the heart; when triggered a computer controlled shock is delivered to the heart. Drechtal Beams: Surgical device used to sever neural connections Exoscalpal: Surgical Device used by Starfleet to incise the skin and expose the underlying tissue HypoSpray: The Hypospray is a simple and effective method of delivering substances intravenously to a patient. The device consists of a spray head which can deliver drugs painlessly through the skin, and even through clothing. Attached to this is a swappable vial which contains the drugs to be delivered. The Hypospray has several major advantages over the syringe; since the skin is not broken by the spray, there is no contamination of the hyposprays tip during an injection. The device can therefore be used repeatedly without any need for sterilization of the tip. The hypospray is also completely painless, which has helped to make the widespread fear of injections a thing of the past. Medical Tricorders: The standard medical tricorder consists of two components: the medical tricorder and medical tricorder peripheral. The tricorder serves much like a normal tricorder with an expanded medical database containing information on nearly all humanoid life forms and several hundred DNA-based non-humanioids. The MT can diagnose diseases through an artifically intelligent subprocessor and can suggest courses of treatment. The default POOL setting is either SHIPBOARD, or the nearest medical database for tricorder downloading. The medical Peripheral serves as a complicated sensing device that provides limited real-time viewing of anatomy as the biobed. Further spectrographic information is also provided by the MP in its function as a portable sensor. The MP detaches from the MT housing and is handheld and moved over parts of the patient anatomy. The MP will pulse with the standard heartbeat and vital sign readings are displayed on the upper surface of the MP housing. Motor Assist Bands: Four-centimeter wide strap like devices used with neurologically damaged patients. The bands provide electrical stimulation to the patients limbs. Neural Calipers: medical Instrument used in surgical procedures. Neural Imaging Scanner: A device used to test the activity of a patients visual cortex. Neural stimulator: Device used to repolarize neural activity in the brain rapidly. The neural stimulator can repolarize brain neurons which have been depolarized for up to one hour. The devices has several settings, and is used to resuscitate brain function after critical trauma Neural Transducers: Implanted bioelectric devices that receive nerve impulses from and brain and transmit them to any affected voluntary muscle group. Neurolink: Emergency medical technique used for the stabilization of patients with brainstem injuries. Matching neural pads are placed on a healthy individual and a matching unit on the patient. These devices enabled a link to be established from the healthy persons autonomic nervous system to that of the injured patient. Physiostimulator: medical Device used to elevate metabolic functions in an impaired individual. Plasma Infusion Unit: medical Device used to dispense fluids and electrolytes. Stasis Units: Containing device that supports life by slowing down all biological activity within the perimeter of the unit. The device is designed to work with stasis medication, but can work without it. Stasis units contain a generator that will support life at very decreased rates and are used for transport of critically injured patients for treatment at a medical facility. Portable stasis units can also be used in the field, coming both in collar form (Class B) and 5cm x 5 cm form (Class C). Somnetic Inducers: A small neural pad used to aid the induction of sleep in humanoids. Can be used regularly. Subdurmal Scalpel: The subdermal scalpel is used for making incisions beneath the skin without breaking the skin itself. It therefore allows purely internal surgery to be performed, reducing the risk of infection and the need for instruments such as dermal regenerators |

Procedures Accelerated Critical Neural Pathway Formation: Medical procedure that uses genetic recoding to alter the brain of a humanoid patient. This procedure is banned in the Federation and has been illegal under laws dating back to the end of the Eugenics Wars. Amniotic Scan: Sensor readings of the fluid contained within the amniotic sac of a mammalian pregnancy. Such a scan can provide a wealth of information about the fetus, including its sex. ARA Scan (Autonomic Response Analysis): medical scan that can be used to determine the truthfulness of a humanoid subject. Basilar Arterial Scan: medical diagnostic test that evaluates the arteries in the brainstern. Berylite scan: medical procedure used aboard Federation starships Bicaridine treatment: Regenerative therapy for fracture patients. It is used as a substitute in patients that are allergic to metorapan Biomimetic Fluctuation: medical reading in Founders that are indicative of dangerous instability of the morphogenic matrix. Blood Screening: medical test used by Federation personnel to identify shape-shifters. This was considered necessary because of the possibility that shape-shifting Founders had taken humanoid form and infiltrated the Federation and other Alpha Quadrant powers. The test involves removing a small sample of blood from an individual's body. If the individual is a changeling, the blood would revert to a gelatinous orange fluid. Brain circuitry pattern: medical diagnostic image mapping neural activity in a humanoid brain. The BCP of each individual is unique, and this serves as a postive means of identification. Cardiac replacement: Surgical procedure in which a patient's diseased or injured heart is replaced by an artificial device. The technique was developed by Dr. Van Doren. Cardiac Induction: Emergency medical resuscitative measure. CPK levels: A medical test performed on board Federation starships. CPK, or creatinine phosphokinase, is a marker of muscular damage. It is mostly used to diagnose cardiac damage. Cryogenic Open Heart Procedure: Surgical procedure Cryonics: Old practice of cryogenically freezing a human just after death in the hopes that future medical advances would render their sickness curable. Cryostasis: medical procedure used to slow down biological functions in a critically injured patient, allowing the physician more time to correct the malady. Direct reticular stimulation: medical procedure in which electrical energy is applied directly to the nervous system of a humanoid patient in an attempt to revive neural activity. A device called a neural stimulator is used in this procedure DNA reference scan: medical test to confirm an individual's identity by matching DNA patterns. Dolbargy Sleeping Trance: Voluntarily induced deep coma. Electrophoretic Energy Analysis: Electrophoresis is a process by which proteins are identified by putting them on a gel and running an electric current through the gel, then staining the gel and measuring how far the proteins moved in comparison to a group of standard proteins that were also put on the gel (bigger proteins move slower, in general.) Encephalographic polygraph scan: A brainwave scan used to determine truthfulness during questioning Hyperencephalogram: medical test that records and measures brain wave activity. Inner Nuncial Series: A battery of neurological tests. Metorapan treatments: Regenerative treatment for fracture patients. Myocardial Enzyme Balance: medical test used in surgical, particularly cardiac procedures. Neural Imaging Scan: medical diagnostic scan used to test the acuity of the patient's visual cortex. Neurolink: Emergency medical technique used for the stabilization of patients with brainstem injuries. Matching neural pads were used. One would be placed on a healthy individual and a matching unit on the patient. These devices enabled a link to be established from the healthy person`s autonomic nervous system to that of the injured patient. Neurosomatic Technique: Procedure used on the planet Tilonus IV in an attempt to extract strategic information. Reflection Therapy: Psychiatric technique used on the planet Tilonus IV in which the patient's brain is scanned and images from brain areas that control emotions and memory are projected holographically. The patient then interacts with holographic images which represent various facets of his personality. Resonance Tissue Scan: medical diagnostic test used by Starfleet physicians to screen for infection. Retinal Imaging Scan: medical test used to verify the presence or absence of activity in the visual cortex. Ribosome Infusion: medical procedure to help the exposure of certain radiation. Robbiani Dermal Optic Test: medical diagnostic test that registers a subject's emotional structure through skin and pupil response to visual stimulation at specific color wavelengths. Steinman Analysis: medical test noting individual specific data such as voice analysis and brain patterns. Synaptic Induction: Technique in neurotheraphy used for patients suffering from traumatic memory loss. Synaptic Reconstruction: Surgery which neutralizes the synaptic pathways responsible for deviant behavior |

llness and Diseases Altarian encephalitis A retrovirus that incorporates its DNA directly into the cells of its host. The virus can lie dormant for years, but activate without warning. Victims are pyrexic and comatose and suffer from widespread synaptic degradation. Long term memory, usually from the moment of infection, is destroyed. Achilles fever Deadly disease capable of spreading rapidly in a planetary population and causing widespread and painful deaths in the millions. Arethian Flever Viral disease. Andronesian encephalitis A disease transmitted by air borne particles Aphasia Dysfunction of certain brain centers affecting the ability to communicate in a coherent manner. Different forms of aphasia exist Atherosclerosis A pathological condition in some humanoid species characterized by the hardening of the arteries and accompanied by the deposit of fat in the inner arterial walls. Progressive Atherosclerosis could necessitate replacing the aorta. Barclay's Protomorphosis Syndrome An intron virus that causes humanoids and other animals to develop structural and behavioral characteristics of earlier evolutionary forms. Ba'ltmasor Syndrome A disease that plagued Klingon exobiologist J'Ddan. He required regular treatments, given by injection, for the problem Bendii Syndrome A rare illness that sometimes affects Vulcans over the age of 200. The disease is characterized by gradual loss of emotional control; victims exhibit sudden bursts of emotion and irrational anger. Diagnosis is made by culturing tissue from the patient's metathalamus. A dangerous side effect of Bendii Syndrome is that the loss of emotional control can be telepathically projected to others. Cartalian Fever A deadly viral plague. Cholera Acute infectious enteritis, common on Earth in the 19th and 20th centuries, caused by the organism Vibrio cholerae. Cold, Common An infection of the upper respiratory tract caused by any of over 200 viruses in many humanoid species. By the 24th century the common cold was a curable ailment. Correllium fever A disease that broke out on the planet Nahmi IV in 2366. Darnay's disease A deadly ailment that attacks the brain and nervous system of its victims. Dorek Syndrome A very rare and incurable disease that afflicts one out of every five million Ferengi. Enantiodromia Psychological term that literally means conversion into the opposite. Eosinophilia An abnormally high count of serum eosinophilis, a type of white blood cell in humanoids. Forrester-Trent Syndrome Degenerative neurological disorder. It is very rare, but if left untreated, can result in paralysis and even death. The syndrome is usually hereditary but can be activated by a random mutation. A neurostabilization regimen can stabilize or reverse the disease. Fostossa Virus Disease organism. Fostossa virus was epidemic on Bajor during the Cardassian occupation, killing thousands of Bajorans. A cure for the disease was developed by Dr. Crell Moset, but only after extensive experimentation on Bajoran prisoners, resulting in the painful death of many of those unwilling subjects. Hemocythemia medical condition in which intercellular pressures are unstable. This condition was also called Hemocythemic Imbalance and could be treated with osmotic pressure therapy. Hesperan Thumping Cough A flu like affliction. Holodiction Contraction for holodeck addiction. A psychological condition where an individual becomes so caught up in holographic simulations that the real world becomes unimportant. Holotransference Dementia Syndrome (HTDS) medical condition in which a person becomes so disoriented within a holographic simulation that they lose their sense of identity and start to think that they are part of the program. Hyperacceleration Biochemical condition that plagued the people of the planet Scalos due to radiation permeating their water supply. Hyperacceleration of biological processes caused an individual so affected to experience one second as if it were an entire hour. Outsiders who were accelerated quickly burned out, dying in a very short period of time due to cell damage. To a normal, nonaccelerated person, a Scalosian sounded very much like an insect. Iresine Syndrome A very rare neurological disorder in humanoids characterized by a peculiar electropathic signature in the thalamus, and a severely decreased histamine count. Victims of the disorder, first identified in the 23rd century, would fall suddenly into a coma for approximately 72 hours. Diagnosis could be confused by the presense of any of 22 different substances that left electropathic residue resembling that of this disorder. Iverson's disease A chronic disease that causes fatal degeneration of muscular functions in humans. Iverson's disease does not, however, impair mental functions. There is no known cure for the condition. Kalla-Nohra Syndrome Chronic pulmonary disease found only in individuals exposed to a mining accident at Gallitep, a Bajoran labor camp run by the Cardassians.There are no known instances of anyone not involved with that mining accident contracting the disease, so a positive diagnosis makes it virtually certain that an individual has been at that infamous death camp. Lacunar amnesia Type of amnesia that occurs when a patient witnesses an act of violence so terrible that the patient rejects the reality of the situation. Larosian virus Mild disorder Morphogenic virus A virus engineered by Section 31 with the intent of killing the Founders who link with Odo. In 2372, The main symptom is a decreasing ability to shapeshift, accompanied by pain and peeling skin; the progress is accelerated by frequent shapeshifting and in the final stage of the disease, the Changeling cannot revert back to liquid state at all and die in a solid form. The cure for the disease contains a nucleotide marking sequence consisting of adanine, asporadine, lytastolanine, and radanine. Neural depletion Complete loss of electrochemical energy of a humanoid brain, resulting in the death of the victim. Neural metaphasic shock A potentially fatal failure of the neurological system in humanoids. Nitrogen Narcosis Also known as ""Rapture of the Deep,"" nitrogen narcosis was a hazard of 20th century Earth deep-sea diving. It was caused by the replacement of oxygen in oxyhemoglobin with nitrogen. The resultant anoxia produced disorientation, hallucinations, and lack of judgment in the victims. The phenomenon is similar to temporal narcosis. Orket's disease A childhood virus that swept through Bajoran work camps during the Occupation. It killed thousands of Bajoran children. Phyrox Plague A disease that broke out on the planet Cor Caroli V. The crew of the Enterprise-D was successful in eradicating the plague in 2366. Starfleet Command classified the incident as Secret. Plasma plague A group of deadly virus types. An unclassified but extremely virulent strain of plasma plague threatened the densely populated Rachelis system in 2365. Significant research into plasma plague was conducted by Dr. Susan Nuress in 2295 in response to a similar outbreak on the planet Obi VI. One mutated strain developed during Nuress's research was found to grow more rapidly when exposed to eichner radiation. Pottrik Syndrome Disease that Aamin Marritza claimed to have, which was similar to Kalla-Nohra Syndrome, and was even treated by the same medication. A lower pulmonary bioprobe for Pottrick Syndrome shows up as negative whereas for Kalla-Norha, it shows up as positive. Psi 2000 Virus A water based disease organism originally found on the planet Psi 2000 in 2266. This virus infected members of the Federation science team stationed on that planet, causing suppression of their inhibitions, and ultimately their deaths. Transmitted through human perspiration, the virus later infected members of the Enterprise crew, resulting in the near destruction of the starship when infected crew member Kevin Riley disabled the ship's engines while it was in orbit around the disintegrating planet. Radiohumeral Bursitis The inflammation of the muscles attached to the epicondyle of the humorous of the human forearm. The inflammation was caused by the stress of striking the ball with a racquet in the ancient sport of tennis. Rigelian fever Deadly disease resembling bubonic plague. Known antidote is ryetalyn Rigelian Kassaba Fever As a ruse to regain control of the Enterprise in 2268 when commandeered by the Kelvans, Dr. McCoy claimed that Spock suffered from Rigelian Kassaba fever and required treatment with Stokaline injections. Rop'ngor A disease that sometimes affects Klingon children, somewhat akin to terrestrial measles. Rushton Infection Disease Sakuro's disease An extremely rare disease contracted by Commissioner Nancy Hedford which can cause intense fever, weakness, and death if not treated. Ssomatophysical failure In humanoid physiology, the collapse of all bodily systems. Stockholm Syndrome In psychology, the tendency for hostages to sympathize with their captors after extended captivity. Streptacochlial-bola-spongiform-diadinate Sneezing, Shortness of breath, Red-Blue-Green spots, Blurring vision, Hallucinations, Increased aggression, illogical activity, Loss of motor control, Paranoia and Delusions of Grandeur. The Virus eats away at the body, traveling along the nervous system and blood vessels. The body is unable to fight off the infection and normal antidotes are in-effective. Placing the patient in stasis has little or no discernable effects. It attacks only bodies with certain "T"cells common to all species. Incubation period is between 2 -8 days then the first symptoms appear. In later stages the patient has weeping sores that expand, this can take anything from a few days to three weeks to occur. In the final stage the victim displays remarkable logic and clear thoughts almost tripling their intelligence. This stage lasts no more than forty minutes before the patient convulses and dies. The body then disintegrates to a mushy pulp and after twenty minutes leaves no traces. Symbalene blood burn Virulent disease that can rapidly kill a large number of people in a very short period of time. Synthococcus novae Bacillus strain organism, a by-product of modern technology. Although treatable, the deadly bacillus was regarded as a significant health hazard. Tahiti Syndrome Twentieth century term or a human longing for a peaceful, idyllic natural setting when suffering from the stresses of modern life. Telurian plague A terrible disease that was still incurable in the 2360s. Temporal narcosis Delirium produced by exposure to a temporal disturbance. Tennis elbow Twentieth century Earth slang for radiohumeral bursitis. The inflammation of the muscles attached to the epicondyle of the humerus of the human forearm. The inflammation was caused by the stress of striking the ball with a racquet in the ancient sport of tennis. Thelusian flu An exotic but harmless rhinovirus. Transporter psychosis Rare medical disorder caused by a breakdown of neurochemical molecules during transport. Transporter psychosis was first diagnosed in 2209 by researchers on the planet Delinia II. The condition affected the body's motor functions, as well as autonomic systems and higher brain functions. Victims were found to suffer from paranoid delusions, multi-infarct dementia, tactile and visual hallucinations, and psychogenic hysteria. Peripheral symptoms included sleeplessness, accelerated heart rate, myopia, muscular spasms, and dehydration. The problem was eliminated around 2319 with the development of the multiplex pattern buffer. Tuvan syndrome A degenerative, incurable neurological disease which affects mainly Vulcans, Romulans, and Rigellians. In the very early stages, the patient's eyelids are slightly displaced, facial muscles are weakened, and respiration is irregular. Loss of motor skills occurs in 10-15 years; life expectancy is 20-25 years. In less than 5% of cases, the disease can accelerate without warning. Vegan choriomeningitis Rare and deadly disease. Symptoms include high fever, pain in the extremities, delirium, and death if not treated within 24 hours. Xenopolycythemia Disease characterized by an abnormal proliferation of red blood cells causing varied symptoms including weakness, fatigue, enlarged spleen, and pain in the extremities. Yarim-Fel syndrome A terminal illness affecting Cardassians; it attacks the digestive tract, circulatory and respiratory systems, and cartilaginous tissues. It can be treated with hexagen therapy or neuro-regeneration procedures, but there is apparently no cure. Zanthi fever A virus affecting the empathic abilities of "mature" Betazoids. It causes brief, intense headaches, during which the sufferer unconsciously projects his or her emotions onto others nearby, provided those emotions already exist in those others subconsciously. Fortunately, the sufferer is easily cured with a simple wide-spectrum antibiotic, and the effects on other people wear off in a day or two. Zintels Disease See Streptacochlial-bola-spongiform-diadinate |

Phyrox Plague A disease that broke out on the planet Cor Caroli V. The crew of the Enterprise-D was successful in eradicating the plague in 2366. Starfleet Command classified the incident as Secret. Plasma plague A group of deadly virus types. An unclassified but extremely virulent strain of plasma plague threatened the densely populated Rachelis system in 2365. Significant research into plasma plague was conducted by Dr. Susan Nuress in 2295 in response to a similar outbreak on the planet Obi VI. One mutated strain developed during Nuress's research was found to grow more rapidly when exposed to eichner radiation. Pottrik Syndrome Disease that Aamin Marritza claimed to have, which was similar to Kalla-Nohra Syndrome, and was even treated by the same medication. A lower pulmonary bioprobe for Pottrick Syndrome shows up as negative whereas for Kalla-Norha, it shows up as positive. Psi 2000 Virus A water based disease organism originally found on the planet Psi 2000 in 2266. This virus infected members of the Federation science team stationed on that planet, causing suppression of their inhibitions, and ultimately their deaths. Transmitted through human perspiration, the virus later infected members of the Enterprise crew, resulting in the near destruction of the starship when infected crew member Kevin Riley disabled the ship's engines while it was in orbit around the disintegrating planet. Radiohumeral Bursitis The inflammation of the muscles attached to the epicondyle of the humorous of the human forearm. The inflammation was caused by the stress of striking the ball with a racquet in the ancient sport of tennis. Rigelian fever Deadly disease resembling bubonic plague. Known antidote is ryetalyn Rigelian Kassaba Fever As a ruse to regain control of the Enterprise in 2268 when commandeered by the Kelvans, Dr. McCoy claimed that Spock suffered from Rigelian Kassaba fever and required treatment with Stokaline injections. Rop'ngor A disease that sometimes affects Klingon children, somewhat akin to terrestrial measles. Rushton Infection Disease Sakuro's disease An extremely rare disease contracted by Commissioner Nancy Hedford which can cause intense fever, weakness, and death if not treated. Ssomatophysical failure In humanoid physiology, the collapse of all bodily systems. Stockholm Syndrome In psychology, the tendency for hostages to sympathize with their captors after extended captivity. Streptacochlial-bola-spongiform-diadinate Sneezing, Shortness of breath, Red-Blue-Green spots, Blurring vision, Hallucinations, Increased aggression, illogical activity, Loss of motor control, Paranoia and Delusions of Grandeur. The Virus eats away at the body, traveling along the nervous system and blood vessels. The body is unable to fight off the infection and normal antidotes are in-effective. Placing the patient in stasis has little or no discernable effects. It attacks only bodies with certain "T"cells common to all species. Incubation period is between 2 -8 days then the first symptoms appear. In later stages the patient has weeping sores that expand, this can take anything from a few days to three weeks to occur. In the final stage the victim displays remarkable logic and clear thoughts almost tripling their intelligence. This stage lasts no more than forty minutes before the patient convulses and dies. The body then disintegrates to a mushy pulp and after twenty minutes leaves no traces. Symbalene blood burn Virulent disease that can rapidly kill a large number of people in a very short period of time. Synthococcus novae Bacillus strain organism, a by-product of modern technology. Although treatable, the deadly bacillus was regarded as a significant health hazard. Tahiti Syndrome Twentieth century term or a human longing for a peaceful, idyllic natural setting when suffering from the stresses of modern life. Telurian plague A terrible disease that was still incurable in the 2360s. Temporal narcosis Delirium produced by exposure to a temporal disturbance. Tennis elbow Twentieth century Earth slang for radiohumeral bursitis. The inflammation of the muscles attached to the epicondyle of the humerus of the human forearm. The inflammation was caused by the stress of striking the ball with a racquet in the ancient sport of tennis. Thelusian flu An exotic but harmless rhinovirus. Transporter psychosis Rare medical disorder caused by a breakdown of neurochemical molecules during transport. Transporter psychosis was first diagnosed in 2209 by researchers on the planet Delinia II. The condition affected the body's motor functions, as well as autonomic systems and higher brain functions. Victims were found to suffer from paranoid delusions, multi-infarct dementia, tactile and visual hallucinations, and psychogenic hysteria. Peripheral symptoms included sleeplessness, accelerated heart rate, myopia, muscular spasms, and dehydration. The problem was eliminated around 2319 with the development of the multiplex pattern buffer. Tuvan syndrome A degenerative, incurable neurological disease which affects mainly Vulcans, Romulans, and Rigellians. In the very early stages, the patient's eyelids are slightly displaced, facial muscles are weakened, and respiration is irregular. Loss of motor skills occurs in 10-15 years; life expectancy is 20-25 years. In less than 5% of cases, the disease can accelerate without warning. Vegan choriomeningitis Rare and deadly disease. Symptoms include high fever, pain in the extremities, delirium, and death if not treated within 24 hours. Xenopolycythemia Disease characterized by an abnormal proliferation of red blood cells causing varied symptoms including weakness, fatigue, enlarged spleen, and pain in the extremities. Yarim-Fel syndrome A terminal illness affecting Cardassians; it attacks the digestive tract, circulatory and respiratory systems, and cartilaginous tissues. It can be treated with hexagen therapy or neuro-regeneration procedures, but there is apparently no cure. Zanthi fever A virus affecting the empathic abilities of "mature" Betazoids. It causes brief, intense headaches, during which the sufferer unconsciously projects his or her emotions onto others nearby, provided those emotions already exist in those others subconsciously. Fortunately, the sufferer is easily cured with a simple wide-spectrum antibiotic, and the effects on other people wear off in a day or two.

llness and Diseases Altarian encephalitis A retrovirus that incorporates its DNA directly into the cells of its host. The virus can lie dormant for years, but activate without warning. Victims are pyrexic and comatose and suffer from widespread synaptic degradation. Long term memory, usually from the moment of infection, is destroyed. Achilles fever Deadly disease capable of spreading rapidly in a planetary population and causing widespread and painful deaths in the millions. Arethian Flever Viral disease. Andronesian encephalitis A disease transmitted by air borne particles Aphasia Dysfunction of certain brain centers affecting the ability to communicate in a coherent manner. Different forms of aphasia exist Atherosclerosis A pathological condition in some humanoid species characterized by the hardening of the arteries and accompanied by the deposit of fat in the inner arterial walls. Progressive Atherosclerosis could necessitate replacing the aorta. Barclay's Protomorphosis Syndrome An intron virus that causes humanoids and other animals to develop structural and behavioral characteristics of earlier evolutionary forms. Ba'ltmasor Syndrome A disease that plagued Klingon exobiologist J'Ddan. He required regular treatments, given by injection, for the problem Bendii Syndrome A rare illness that sometimes affects Vulcans over the age of 200. The disease is characterized by gradual loss of emotional control; victims exhibit sudden bursts of emotion and irrational anger. Diagnosis is made by culturing tissue from the patient's metathalamus. A dangerous side effect of Bendii Syndrome is that the loss of emotional control can be telepathically projected to others. Cartalian Fever A deadly viral plague. Cholera Acute infectious enteritis, common on Earth in the 19th and 20th centuries, caused by the organism Vibrio cholerae. Cold, Common An infection of the upper respiratory tract caused by any of over 200 viruses in many humanoid species. By the 24th century the common cold was a curable ailment.

Dorek Syndrome A very rare and incurable disease that afflicts one out of every five million Ferengi. Enantiodromia Psychological term that literally means conversion into the opposite. Eosinophilia An abnormally high count of serum eosinophilis, a type of white blood cell in humanoids. Forrester-Trent Syndrome Degenerative neurological disorder. It is very rare, but if left untreated, can result in paralysis and even death. The syndrome is usually hereditary but can be activated by a random mutation. A neurostabilization regimen can stabilize or reverse the disease. Fostossa Virus Disease organism. Fostossa virus was epidemic on Bajor during the Cardassian occupation, killing thousands of Bajorans. A cure for the disease was developed by Dr. Crell Moset, but only after extensive experimentation on Bajoran prisoners, resulting in the painful death of many of those unwilling subjects. Hemocythemia medical condition in which intercellular pressures are unstable. This condition was also called Hemocythemic Imbalance and could be treated with osmotic pressure therapy. Hesperan Thumping Cough A flu like affliction. Holodiction Contraction for holodeck addiction. A psychological condition where an individual becomes so caught up in holographic simulations that the real world becomes unimportant. Holotransference Dementia Syndrome (HTDS) medical condition in which a person becomes so disoriented within a holographic simulation that they lose their sense of identity and start to think that they are part of the program. Hyperacceleration Biochemical condition that plagued the people of the planet Scalos due to radiation permeating their water supply. Hyperacceleration of biological processes caused an individual so affected to experience one second as if it were an entire hour. Outsiders who were accelerated quickly burned out, dying in a very short period of time due to cell damage. To a normal, nonaccelerated person, a Scalosian sounded very much like an insect. Iresine Syndrome A very rare neurological disorder in humanoids characterized by a peculiar electropathic signature in the thalamus, and a severely decreased histamine count. Victims of the disorder, first identified in the 23rd century, would fall suddenly into a coma for approximately 72 hours. Diagnosis could be confused by the presense of any of 22 different substances that left electropathic residue resembling that of this disorder. Iverson's disease A chronic disease that causes fatal degeneration of muscular functions in humans. Iverson's disease does not, however, impair mental functions. There is no known cure for the condition. Kalla-Nohra Syndrome Chronic pulmonary disease found only in individuals exposed to a mining accident at Gallitep, a Bajoran labor camp run by the Cardassians.There are no known instances of anyone not involved with that mining accident contracting the disease, so a positive diagnosis makes it virtually certain that an individual has been at that infamous death camp. Lacunar amnesia Type of amnesia that occurs when a patient witnesses an act of violence so terrible that the patient rejects the reality of the situation. Larosian virus Mild disorder Morphogenic virus A virus engineered by Section 31 with the intent of killing the Founders who link with Odo. In 2372, The main symptom is a decreasing ability to shapeshift, accompanied by pain and peeling skin; the progress is accelerated by frequent shapeshifting and in the final stage of the disease, the Changeling cannot revert back to liquid state at all and die in a solid form. The cure for the disease contains a nucleotide marking sequence consisting of adanine, asporadine, lytastolanine, and radanine. Neural depletion Complete loss of electrochemical energy of a humanoid brain, resulting in the death of the victim. Neural metaphasic shock A potentially fatal failure of the neurological system in humanoids. Nitrogen Narcosis Also known as ""Rapture of the Deep,"" nitrogen narcosis was a hazard of 20th century Earth deep-sea diving. It was caused by the replacement of oxygen in oxyhemoglobin with nitrogen. The resultant anoxia produced disorientation, hallucinations, and lack of judgment in the victims.

Alpha Wave Inducer: A device used to enhance sleep in humanoids. But only meant for occasional use. BioBed: Inbuilt sensor systems allow the biobed to constantly monitor factors such as heart rate, respiration, temperature, etc. These are displayed on a permanent basis, usually on a panel located at the head of the biobed, so as to present the information in the most clearly and easily accessible manner possible. As a backup to the visual presentation, biobeds can be set to give audio information, including normal functions such as heartbeat or automatic alarms should any body function fall outside a pre-set range. Corticol Stimulator: The Cortical Stimulator is a small device which is used to elevate the activity in the cortex of a patient. The stimulator is typically a small device which is attached to the cranium; it is used on patients who have reduced or damaged brain wave patterns. Dermal Regenerator: The dermal regenerator is used to repair damage to the skin of the patient, including bruising and lacerations. The device is handheld; the doctor holds it over the damaged area and moves it slowly back and forth. The treatment typically lasts only a matter of a few seconds. Defibrillator: The defibrillator is a device used to restore sinus rhythm in a patients heart after it has gone into cardiac arrhythmia. Modern defibrillators are portable handheld devices which are placed into contact with the skin directly over the heart; when triggered a computer controlled shock is delivered to the heart. Drechtal Beams: Surgical device used to sever neural connections Exoscalpal: Surgical Device used by Starfleet to incise the skin and expose the underlying tissue HypoSpray: The Hypospray is a simple and effective method of delivering substances intravenously to a patient. The device consists of a spray head which can deliver drugs painlessly through the skin, and even through clothing. Attached to this is a swappable vial which contains the drugs to be delivered. The Hypospray has several major advantages over the syringe; since the skin is not broken by the spray, there is no contamination of the hyposprays tip during an injection. The device can therefore be used repeatedly without any need for sterilization of the tip. The hypospray is also completely painless, which has helped to make the widespread fear of injections a thing of the past. Medical Tricorders: The standard medical tricorder consists of two components: the medical tricorder and medical tricorder peripheral. The tricorder serves much like a normal tricorder with an expanded medical database containing information on nearly all humanoid life forms and several hundred DNA-based non-humanioids. The MT can diagnose diseases through an artifically intelligent subprocessor and can suggest courses of treatment. The default POOL setting is either SHIPBOARD, or the nearest medical database for tricorder downloading. The medical Peripheral serves as a complicated sensing device that provides limited real-time viewing of anatomy as the biobed. Further spectrographic information is also provided by the MP in its function as a portable sensor. The MP detaches from the MT housing and is handheld and moved over parts of the patient anatomy. The MP will pulse with the standard heartbeat and vital sign readings are displayed on the upper surface of the MP housing. Motor Assist Bands: Four-centimeter wide strap like devices used with neurologically damaged patients. The bands provide electrical stimulation to the patients limbs. Neural Calipers: medical Instrument used in surgical procedures. Neural Imaging Scanner: A device used to test the activity of a patients visual cortex. Neural stimulator: Device used to repolarize neural activity in the brain rapidly. The neural stimulator can repolarize brain neurons which have been depolarized for up to one hour. The devices has several settings, and is used to resuscitate brain function after critical trauma Neural Transducers: Implanted bioelectric devices that receive nerve impulses from and brain and transmit them to any affected voluntary muscle group. Neurolink: Emergency medical technique used for the stabilization of patients with brainstem injuries. Matching neural pads are placed on a healthy individual and a matching unit on the patient. These devices enabled a link to be established from the healthy persons autonomic nervous system to that of the injured patient. Physiostimulator: medical Device used to elevate metabolic functions in an impaired individual. Plasma Infusion Unit: medical Device used to dispense fluids and electrolytes. Stasis Units: Containing device that supports life by slowing down all biological activity within the perimeter of the unit. The device is designed to work with stasis medication, but can work without it. Stasis units contain a generator that will support life at very decreased rates and are used for transport of critically injured patients for treatment at a medical facility. Portable stasis units can also be used in the field, coming both in collar form (Class B) and 5cm x 5 cm form (Class C). Somnetic Inducers: A small neural pad used to aid the induction of sleep in humanoids. Can be used regularly. Subdurmal Scalpel: The subdermal scalpel is used for making incisions beneath the skin without breaking the skin itself. It therefore allows purely internal surgery to be performed, reducing the risk of infection and the need for instruments such as dermal regenerators |

Acetycholine: a biochemical substance, a neurotransmitter that promotes the propagation of electrical impulses from one nerve cell to another in carbon-based life. Benjusidrine: a drug prescribed for Vulcans with heart conditions. Cordrazine: a powerful and addictive stimulant used to treat serious electrical burns, and also known to revive a stunned or unconscious patient. Overdose Treatment: Kayolene can be administered to sedate the patient, until the overdose diffuses out of the bodies system naturally(6 hrs). Overdose can be diagnosed from episodes of delusional paranoia. Endorphins: Naturally occurring neurochemicals found in many humanoids and other vertebrate species. Endorphins are opiate peptides similar to the drug morphine, and can act upon the nervous system to affect sensations of pain and pleasure. Hyronalyn: medication that was the treatment of choice for radiation sickness. by introducing hyronalin vapor into the ship's ventilation system. Hyronalin was the treatment of choice by 2267, and was still in use by Starfleet in the 24th century. Hytritium: Naturally occurring. Only known cure for tricyanate contamination of water supplies. Highly volatile. Inaprovaline: Cardio-stimulatory pharmaceutical usually administered intravenously by hypospray.

Blood Screening: medical test used by Federation personnel to identify shape-shifters. This was considered necessary because of the possibility that shape-shifting Founders had taken humanoid form and infiltrated the Federation and other Alpha Quadrant powers. The test involves removing a small sample of blood from an individual's body. If the individual is a changeling, the blood would revert to a gelatinous orange fluid. Brain circuitry pattern: medical diagnostic image mapping neural activity in a humanoid brain. The BCP of each individual is unique, and this serves as a postive means of identification. Cardiac replacement: Surgical procedure in which a patient's diseased or injured heart is replaced by an artificial device. The technique was developed by Dr. Van Doren. Cardiac Induction: Emergency medical resuscitative measure. CPK levels: A medical test performed on board Federation starships. CPK, or creatinine phosphokinase, is a marker of muscular damage. It is mostly used to diagnose cardiac damage. Cryogenic Open Heart Procedure: Surgical procedure Cryonics: Old practice of cryogenically freezing a human just after death in the hopes that future medical advances would render their sickness curable. Cryostasis: medical procedure used to slow down biological functions in a critically injured patient, allowing the physician more time to correct the malady. Direct reticular stimulation: medical procedure in which electrical energy is applied directly to the nervous system of a humanoid patient in an attempt to revive neural activity. A device called a neural stimulator is used in this procedure DNA reference scan: medical test to confirm an individual's identity by matching DNA patterns. Dolbargy Sleeping Trance: Voluntarily induced deep coma. Electrophoretic Energy Analysis: Electrophoresis is a process by which proteins are identified by putting them on a gel and running an electric current through the gel, then staining the gel and measuring how far the proteins moved in comparison to a group of standard proteins that were also put on the gel (bigger proteins move slower, in general.) Encephalographic polygraph scan: A brainwave scan used to determine truthfulness during questioning Hyperencephalogram: medical test that records and measures brain wave activity.

These devices enabled a link to be established from the healthy person`s autonomic nervous system to that of the injured patient. Neurosomatic Technique: Procedure used on the planet Tilonus IV in an attempt to extract strategic information. Reflection Therapy: Psychiatric technique used on the planet Tilonus IV in which the patient's brain is scanned and images from brain areas that control emotions and memory are projected holographically. The patient then interacts with holographic images which represent various facets of his personality. Resonance Tissue Scan: medical diagnostic test used by Starfleet physicians to screen for infection. Retinal Imaging Scan: medical test used to verify the presence or absence of activity in the visual cortex. Ribosome Infusion: medical procedure to help the exposure of certain radiation.
