Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a pathologic condition involving compression of the median nerve as it passes through the wrist.
This case definition was developed in June of 2001 by a working group from the Army Medical Surveillance Activity (AMSA), now the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center, in collaboration with representatives from the Injury Prevention Program at the Army Institute of Public Health (AIPH), formerly the US Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine (CHPPM), and with input from the Department of Defense Military Injury Metrics Working Group. The group developed this definition for a monthly installation-specific injury surveillance report designed to give installation commanders and their staffs insight into the natures and relative impacts of injuries at their installations
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is clinically characterized by acute, progressive, and generally ascending muscle weakness, loss of deep tendon reflexes, and paralysis.
Heterotopic Ossification (HO) has emerged as a frequent and concerning clinical and rehabilitation problem among service members with severe traumatic injuries sustained in Iraq and Afghanistan. AFHSC designated HO as a deployment-related condition of special surveillance interest because of its incidence among service members wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan and also because of its potential to be an obstacle to an amputation victim’s recovery.
This case definition was developed in 2010 by the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center (AFHSC) in collaboration with a working group of subject matter experts from the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs (ASDHA), the United States Army Public Health Command (USAPHC) and the United States Military Cancer Institute. The definition and classifications used in the case definition are based on the World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of tumors of Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues, 4th edition, 2008.1 The definition was developed for the purpose of epidemiological surveillance of invasive cancers and was used in a June 2012 Medical Surveillance Monthly Report (MSMR) article on incident diagnoses of cancers.

This case definition was developed by the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center (AFHSC) for the purpose of epidemiological surveillance of appendicitis and appendectomies among the active and reserve components of the U.S. Armed Forces.1 The burden of appendicitis on the Military Health System is significant. Between 2002 and 2011 there were 31,610 cases of appendicitis and 30,183 appendectomies. Onset of the condition is unpredictable and often sudden, so its occurrence in members of the U.S. Armed Forces can be disruptive, particularly in the deployed setting.
Amputations are designated by AFHSC as a condition of “special surveillance interest” due to their association with combat operations, primarily in Afghanistan and Iraq. Improvements in force protection equipment, medical evacuation procedures, and life saving medical care, have resulted in many severely injured service members, who may have died in earlier wars, surviving their severe injuries with significant disabilities, including amputations.
Urinary stones can decrease operational effectiveness (e.g., lost duty days, medical evacuation) and may be precipitated by environmental stressors common to military training and operational settings.
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) complicates up to 5% of all pregnancies in the United States. GDM is defined as carbohydrate intolerance first recognized during pregnancy.
Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common form of arthritis, is a non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease characterized by destruction of cartilage and remodeling of bone at the joints. OA
