Pustular psoriasisPustular psoriasis is classified into two major forms: localized and
generalized pustular psoriasis.[1] Within these two categories there
are several variants:Classification of Localized and Generalized Pustular PsoriasisLocalized pustular psoriasisPalmoplantar pustulosis (acute and chronic)

International Statistical Classification Of Diseases And Related Health Problems
The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is the
international "standard diagnostic tool for epidemiology, health
management and clinical purposes". Its full official name is
International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related
Health Problems.[1]
The ICD is maintained by the
World Health OrganizationWorld Health Organization (WHO), the
directing and coordinating authority for health within the United
Nations System.[2] The ICD is designed as a health care classification
system, providing a system of diagnostic codes for classifying
diseases, including nuanced classifications of a wide variety of
signs, symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances,
and external causes of injury or disease. This system is designed to
map health conditions to corresponding generic categories together
with specific variations, assigning for these a designated code, up to
six characters long

Myalgia
Myalgia, or muscle pain, is a symptom of many diseases and disorders.
The most common causes are the overuse or over-stretching of a muscle
or group of muscles.
Myalgia without a traumatic history is often due
to viral infections. Longer-term myalgias may be indicative of a
metabolic myopathy, some nutritional deficiencies or chronic fatigue
syndrome.Contents1 Causes1.1 Overuse

The most common causes of myalgia are overuse, injury or strain.
However, myalgia can also be caused by diseases, disorders,
medications, or as a response to a vaccination

International Standard Serial Number
An
International Standard Serial NumberInternational Standard Serial Number (ISSN) is an eight-digit
serial number used to uniquely identify a serial publication.[1] The
ISSN is especially helpful in distinguishing between serials with the
same title. ISSN are used in ordering, cataloging, interlibrary loans,
and other practices in connection with serial literature.[2]
The ISSN system was first drafted as an International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) international standard in 1971 and published as
ISO 3297 in 1975.[3] ISO subcommittee
TC 46/SC 9 is responsible for
maintaining the standard.
When a serial with the same content is published in more than one
media type, a different ISSN is assigned to each media type. For
example, many serials are published both in print and electronic
media

Digital Object Identifier
In computing, a Digital Object Identifier or DOI is a persistent
identifier or handle used to uniquely identify objects, standardized
by the
International Organization for StandardizationInternational Organization for Standardization (ISO).[1] An
implementation of the Handle System,[2][3] DOIs are in wide use mainly
to identify academic, professional, and government information, such
as journal articles, research reports and data sets, and official
publications though they also have been used to identify other types
of information resources, such as commercial videos.
A DOI aims to be "resolvable", usually to some form of access to the
information object to which the DOI refers. This is achieved by
binding the DOI to metadata about the object, such as a URL,
indicating where the object can be found. Thus, by being actionable
and interoperable, a DOI differs from identifiers such as ISBNs and
ISRCs which aim only to uniquely identify their referents

LeukocytosisLeukocytosisLeukocytosis is white cells (the leukocyte count) above the normal
range in the blood.[1][2] It is frequently a sign of an inflammatory
response,[3] most commonly the result of infection, but may also occur
following certain parasitic infections or bone tumors as well as
leukemia. It may also occur after strenuous exercise, convulsions such
as epilepsy, emotional stress, pregnancy and labor, anesthesia, and
epinephrine administration.[1]
There are five principle types of leukocytosis:[4]
NeutrophiliaNeutrophilia (the most common form)[5]
Lymphocytosis
Monocytosis
Eosinophilia
BasophiliaThis increase in leukocyte (primarily neutrophils) is usually
accompanied by a "left upper shift" in the ratio of immature to mature
neutrophils and macrophages

NauseaNausea is a sensation of unease and discomfort in the upper stomach
with an involuntary urge to vomit.[1] It may precede vomiting, but a
person can have nausea without vomiting. When prolonged, it is a
debilitating symptom.[2]
Nausea is a non-specific symptom, which means that it has many
possible causes. Some common causes of nausea are motion sickness,
dizziness, migraine, fainting, low blood sugar, gastroenteritis
(stomach infection) or food poisoning.
Nausea is a side effect of many
medications including chemotherapy, or morning sickness in early
pregnancy.
Nausea may also be caused by anxiety, disgust and
depression.[3][4][5]
Medications taken to prevent and treat nausea are called antiemetics.
The most commonly prescribed antiemetics in the US are promethazine,
metoclopramide and ondansetron

Fever
Fever, also known as pyrexia and febrile response,[6] is defined as
having a temperature above the normal range due to an increase in the
body's temperature set-point.[4][5] There is not a single agreed-upon
upper limit for normal temperature with sources using values between
37.5 and 38.3 °C (99.5 and 100.9 °F).[6][7] The increase
in set-point triggers increased muscle contractions and causes a
feeling of cold.[1] This results in greater heat production and
efforts to conserve heat.[2] When the set-point temperature returns to
normal, a person feels hot, becomes flushed, and may begin to
sweat.[2] Rarely a fever may trigger a febrile seizure.[3] This is
more common in young children.[3] Fevers do not typically go higher
than 41 to 42 °C (105.8 to 107.6 °F).[5]
A fever can be caused by many medical conditions ranging from non
serious to life threatening.[11] This includes viral, bacterial and
parasitic infections such as the common cold, urinary tract
infections

ICD-10ICD-10 is the 10th revision of the International Statistical
Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD), a
medical classification list by the
World Health OrganizationWorld Health Organization (WHO). It
contains codes for diseases, signs and symptoms, abnormal findings,
complaints, social circumstances, and external causes of injury or
diseases.[1] Work on
ICD-10 began in 1983 and was completed in
1992.[1]
The code set in the base classification allows for more than 14,400
different codes,[citation needed] and permits the tracking of many new
diagnoses compared to ICD-9)

Pustules
A cutaneous condition is any medical condition that affects the
integumentary system—the organ system that encloses the body and
includes skin, hair, nails, and related muscle and glands.[1] The
major function of this system is as a barrier against the external
environment.[2]
Conditions of the human integumentary system constitute a broad
spectrum of diseases, also known as dermatoses, as well as many
nonpathologic states (like, in certain circumstances, melanonychia and
racquet nails).[3][4] While only a small number of skin diseases
account for most visits to the physician, thousands of skin conditions
have been described.[5] Classification of these conditions often
presents many nosological challenges, since underlying causes and
pathogenetics are often not known.[6][7] Therefore, most current
textbooks present a classification based on location (for example,
conditions of the mucous membrane), morphology (chronic blistering
conditions), cause (skin conditions resulting from phys
