A group of sporadic, familial and/or inherited, degenerative, and infectious disease processes, linked by the common theme of abnormal protein folding and deposition. As the amyloid deposits enlarge they displace normal tissue structures, causing disruption of function. Various signs and symptoms depend on the location and size of the deposits.

A fatal disease of coconut and other palms. It has swept through the coconut-growing regions of Jamaica, Cuba, the Cayman Islands, and Florida, and is presently destroying palms in the Yucatan. The disease is caused by phytoplasmas and is spread by plant-sucking insects called plant-hoppers. The first visible sign is the dropping of all fruit; this is followed by the withering of new flowers, and yellowing leaves. There is no effective cure; trees die within 3-6 months after appearance of the first symptoms.

A double sulphate formed of aluminium and some other element (esp. an alkali metal) or of aluminium. It has twenty-four molecules of water of crystallization. Common alum is the double sulphate of aluminium and potassium. It is white, transparent, very astringent, and crystallizes easily in octahedrons. The term is extended so as to include other double sulphates similar to alum in formula.
