Scheuermann 2009 Disease A disposition (i) to undergo pathological processes that (ii) exists in an organism because of one or more disorders in that organism. Diseases as dispositions rooted in physical disorders in the organism and realized in pathological processes. (1) to the existence of pre-clinical manifestations of disease (disorders can exist before they are realized in overt pathological processes); (2) to the combinations of disease and predispositions to disease which can exist within a single patient (as when an instance of disease of type A in a given patient is a risk factor for a second disease of type B); and (3) to the fact that the disease course and the clinical picture may vary widely between patients who have the same disease. Disorder A causally relatively isolated combination of physical components that is (a) clinically abnormal and (b) maximal, in the sense that it is not a part of some larger such combination. Such disorders are the physical basis of disease. A disease comes into existence because some physical component becomes malformed. |
