Non-malignant disease of an organ

AND the terms below with terms for the organ of interest:

(disease* OR condition* OR disorder* OR pathol* OR syndrom* OR abnormal* OR disturb* OR dysfunction* OR hypofunction* OR function* OR insufficien* OR injur* OR damag* OR failur* OR ischem* OR ischaem* OR necro* OR inflam* OR infect*  OR abscess* OR sclero* OR fibro* OR agenesis OR dysgenesis OR anomal* OR atroph* OR hypotroph* OR aplas* OR dysplas* OR metaplas*  OR malform* OR deform* OR degenerat* OR cyst* OR edema* OR oedema* OR swelling OR effusion* OR torsion* OR stenos* OR stenotic OR obstruct* OR occlusi* OR ulcer* OR toxicity)

Consider ORing in names for the organ-specific conditions.  i.e.

(((organ_term_1 OR organ_term_2 ... OR organ_term_x) AND (disease* OR condition* OR disorder* OR pathol* OR syndrom* OR abnormal* OR disturb* OR dysfunction* OR hypofunction* OR function* OR insufficien* OR injur* OR damag* OR failur* OR ischem* OR ischaem* OR necro* OR inflam* OR infect*  OR abscess* OR sclero* OR fibro* OR agenesis OR dysgenesis OR anomal* OR atroph* OR hypotroph* OR aplas* OR dysplas* OR metaplas*  OR malform* OR deform* OR degenerat* OR cyst* OR edema* OR oedema* OR swelling OR effusion* OR torsion* OR stenos* OR stenotic OR obstruct* OR occlusi* OR ulcer* OR toxicity)) OR organ_specific_disease_name_1 OR organ_specific_disease_name_2 OR ... organ_specific_disease_name_x)

Use of a proximity operator is preferable to using AND when proxomity searching is available:

(((organ_term_1 OR organ_term_2 ... OR organ_term_x) NEAR/3 (disease* OR condition* OR disorder* OR pathol* OR syndrom* OR abnormal* OR disturb* OR dysfunction* OR hypofunction* OR function* OR insufficien* OR injur* OR damag* OR failur* OR ischem* OR ischaem* OR necro* OR inflam* OR infect*  OR abscess* OR sclero* OR fibro* OR agenesis OR dysgenesis OR anomal* OR atroph* OR hypotroph* OR aplas* OR dysplas* OR metaplas*  OR malform* OR deform* OR degenerat* OR cyst* OR edema* OR oedema* OR swelling OR effusion* OR torsion* OR stenos* OR stenotic OR obstruct* OR occlusi* OR ulcer* OR toxicity)) OR organ_specific_disease_name_1 OR organ_specific_disease_name_2 OR ... organ_specific_disease_name_x)
