Diseases can often change the size of various body parts. Perhaps saying "cardiomegaly" is more precise or efficient than saying "the heart is big," but it's also much harder for the non-medical person to understand. Knowing a few suffixes, prefixes and specific terms can go a long way toward helping you understand what your doctor is saying.

How Diseases Come and Go

You might not think of a disease as something that comes and goes. But it does happen, especially when a condition is poorly understood and has many vague symptoms. Read on to find out how diseases can get "demoted."

This Week In Children's Health News

Many are foregoing antibiotics because of worries about drug resistance and evidence that most ear infections will heal on their own.

Signs of Child Ear Infection

(The Associated Press) -- Most ear infections of children over 2 will clear up on their own, experts say.

Feds to Update Labels of Antidepressants

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Mental health experts are worried that additional warnings about the risk of suicides linked to antidepressants could curtail their use and ultimately do more harm than good.

This Week In Children's Health News

Measles Deaths Drop by 60 Percent

LONDON (AP) -- Global measles deaths have dropped by 60 percent, health authorities announced in a report Friday, and one senior official called it a "historic victory" for public health.
