Motion sickness
Motion sickness, also known as travel sickness, is a common condition characterized by nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and other symptoms that occur when traveling in a moving vehicle or experiencing motion. It is believed to result from conflicting sensory signals sent to the brain, particularly those related to balance and spatial orientation. Motion sickness can occur during various forms of transportation, including cars, boats, airplanes, trains, and amusement park rides.
Monkeypox
Monkeypox is a rare viral infectious disease in humans caused by the Monkeypox virus (MPXV). Although, the virus is not highly transmissible from person-to-person, but it has increased in global public health significance and can cause a painful rash, enlarged lymph nodes and fever.
Molluscum contagiosum
Moles, also known as nevi (singular: nevus), are common skin growths that develop when pigment cells (melanocytes) grow in clusters rather than being spread evenly throughout the skin. They can appear anywhere on the body and vary in size, shape, and color. Most moles are harmless, but some may develop into skin cancer, particularly if they undergo changes in size, shape, or color.

Molar pregnancy
Molar pregnancy is a tumour that develops in the uterus as a result of a non-viable pregnancy.
There may or may not be an embryo or placental tissue in some cases of molar pregnancy. If there is an embryo, it's not properly formed and can't survive.
A molar pregnancy may seem typical at first, but most cause symptoms, including dark brown to bright red vaginal bleeding during the first trimester. Severe nausea and vomiting also can happen.
The tumour must be removed to avoid serious complications. Often, molar pregnancies are removed by dilation and curettage (D&C). Rarely, a hysterectomy may be needed.
Mitral valve problems
Mitral valve problems refer to a range of conditions affecting the mitral valve, one of the four valves in the heart. The mitral valve controls blood flow between the left atrium and the left ventricle, ensuring that blood flows in the correct direction through the heart. Various issues can affect the structure or function of the mitral valve, leading to symptoms and potential complications
Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS)
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) is a viral respiratory illness caused by the MERS coronavirus (MERS-CoV). It was first identified in humans in 2012 in Saudi Arabia and has since been reported in other countries in the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and the United States. MERS-CoV is a zoonotic virus, meaning it is transmitted from animals to humans. Dromedary camels are considered the primary reservoir of MERS-CoV, and human-to-human transmission can occur, particularly in healthcare settings.
Metallic taste
Why does my mouth taste like metal? A metallic taste can indicate a serious illness, such as kidney or liver problems, undiagnosed diabetes or certain cancers. But these reasons are uncommon and typically accompanied by other symptoms. If you're otherwise healthy, the cause for that metallic tang typically is benign.
