Ketone:

A break-down product of fat that accumulates in the blood as a result of inadequate insulin or inadequate calorie intake.

Ketosis:

A condition of having ketone bodies build up in body tissues and fluids. The signs of ketosis are nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain. Ketosis can lead to ketoacidosis.

Knee, Internal Derangement:

The knee is particularly susceptible to injury, largely because of its internal structures. These include the meniscus (articular cartilage), ligaments, tendons, fat pad under the patella (kneecap), and the uppermost part of the tibia (the major bone in the lower leg).

Kyphosis:

Excessive curvature of the upper spine, resulting in humpback, hunchback or rounding of the shoulders.
