1 injury: Another word for "wound" is "injury". Both terms refer to damage to the body (physical and sometimes even mental). For example: I suffered an injury when the dentist drilled a hole in my cheek. In the text about Anosmia, we read that the condition can be caused by severe head "injuries".
2 condition: A "condition" is defined as a "state of health." The word "condition" has many different meanings, but in this context, a condition is a "health problem", "sickness" or even a disease (though these terms aren't totally synonymous). Example: She has a skin condition, and she gets a rash every time it snows.
