- Of these terms, chronic and acute have to do with the duration of a disease, malignant and benign with its potentiality for causing death. (britannica.com)
- Here, we discuss the symptoms of acute vs chronic Lyme disease and how to get the help you need. (mindbodygreen.com)
- Acute Lyme: symptoms + what to do if you think you have it. (mindbodygreen.com)
- Acute Lyme simply refers to Lyme disease in its early stages, shortly after you've been bitten and infected by a tick. (mindbodygreen.com)
- The good news: Many people who promptly get diagnosed and treated with acute Lyme disease have a great chance at getting better. (mindbodygreen.com)
- When the deficiency reaches a certain level, the plant develops acute (sudden) or chronic (over a period of time) symptoms. (msucares.com)
- P. sidoides might offer symptom relief in acute bronchitis, rhinosinusitis and the common cold. (greenmedinfo.com)
Persist2
- But sometimes, symptoms persist. (mindbodygreen.com)
- You should see your doctor if any of these symptoms persist. (healthline.com)
Early6
- Early symptoms of Lyme disease. (mindbodygreen.com)
- If you're noticing these early symptoms of Lyme disease, you want to call your doctor ASAP. (mindbodygreen.com)
- The most effective way to control Corn Stunt is early planting. (wikipedia.org)
- Researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine have cautioned that current diagnostic tests for ovarian cancer are woefully ineffective for early detection of the disease. (medindia.net)
- Ovarian cancer is particularly feared by women and their physicians because the disease is so difficult to detect in its early stages. (medindia.net)
- This disease is most prevalent in low, wet areas especially during late summer and early autumn. (vic.gov.au)
Prevention2
- Echinacea is effective in the prevention of symptoms of the rhinovirus-induced common cold. (greenmedinfo.com)
- The following table describes some of the common diseases of garden vegetables and suggests prevention methods and chemicals available for controlling them. (missouri.edu)
Susceptibility2
- Susceptibility and incidence to grey mold and myrothecium incidence increase as nitrogen increases in some greenhouse plants. (msucares.com)
- Nitrogen levels should be balanced with potassium, since disease susceptibility generally increases with higher nitrogen-to-potassium ratios. (msucares.com)
Foliar1
- One disease (foliar, wilts, or root rots) may be made worse by ammonium nitrogen, but another may be made worse by nitrate nitrogen. (msucares.com)
Xanthomonas1
- The causal agent, Xanthomonas albilineans, is a systemic, xylem-invading bacterium that may be present at low population sizes in symptom-less plants ( 12 ). (pnas.org)
Houseplants1
- It is very common for houseplants to develop diseases when they are growing poorly or not given proper care. (gardenguides.com)
Systemic3
- Inflammation of the kidneys caused by an autoimmune disease called systemic lupus erythematosus. (livehopelupus.org)
- Albicidin phytotoxins appear to be important in systemic disease development, because tox − mutants of X. albilineans fail to induce any disease symptoms in inoculated sugarcane ( 17 ). (pnas.org)
- However, rapid attenuation of the pathogen in culture has prevented critical experiments comparing the capacity of tox − mutants and tox + revertants to induce systemic disease in the field. (pnas.org)
