| gastric filling defects | <radiology> Malignant tumours, carcinoma, lymphoma, leiomyosarcoma, metastases, benign, leiomyoma, lipoma, neurofibroma, polyp, hyperplastic, adenomatous, hamartomatous, others, bezoar, Nissen fundoplication, ectopic pancreas (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| midline closure defects | <radiology> Anencephaly, encephalocele, 70% occipital, 20% parietal or frontal, 10% basal, agenesis of corpus callosum associated with increased alpha-fetoprotein. (12 Dec 1998) |
| colour vision defects | Mild to severe impairment in the ability to discriminate or differentiate hues. This disorder may be acquired as a result of diseases of the cones or x chromosome-linked where there is an abnormality but not a complete absence of one of the cone pigments. (12 Dec 1998) |
| heart defects, congenital | Imperfections or malformations of the heart, existing at birth. (12 Dec 1998) |
| heart septal defects | Defects in the cardiac septa, resulting in abnormal communications between the opposite chambers of the heart. (12 Dec 1998) |
| heart septal defects, atrial | Defects in the septum between the atria of the heart, due to failure of fusion between either the septum secundum or the septum primum and the endocardial cushions. (12 Dec 1998) |
| heart septal defects, ventricular | Congenital defects in the septum between the cardiac ventricles, most often due to failure of the bulbar septum to completely close the interventricular foramen. (12 Dec 1998) |
| endocardial cushion defects | A spectrum of septal defects associated with persistence of the embryonic atrioventricular canal due to incomplete growth and fusion of the endocardial cushion. (12 Dec 1998) |
| furcation defects | Conditions in which a bifurcation or trifurcation of the molar tooth root becomes denuded as a result of periodontal disease. It may be followed by tooth mobility, temperature sensitivity, pain, and alveolar bone resorption. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ascorbate peroxidase | <enzyme> Occurs in the stroma as a soluble form (sap28) and also in the thylakoids as membrane-bound form (sap22) in angiosperm chloroplasts Registry number: EC 1.11.1.11 Synonym: ascorbic acid peroxidase, l-ascorbic acid peroxidase, stromal ascorbate peroxidase, thylakoid-bound ascorbate peroxidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| barley peroxidase | <enzyme> Endosperm specific enzyme; amino acid sequence given in first source Registry number: EC 1.11.1.- Synonym: b peroxidase 1, barley seed-specific peroxidase bp 1, barley seed peroxidase bp 2a (26 Jun 1999) |
| caffeate peroxidase | <enzyme> Catalyses dimerization of ferulic acid or caffeic acid via oxidative coupling and formation of beta,beta-linkage to lignan-type cpds 8,8'-bis(caffeic acid) or 8,8'-bis(ferulic acid) Registry number: EC 1.11.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| manganese peroxidase | <enzyme> Haem enzyme from phanerochaete chrysosporium which oxidises mn(ii) to mn(iii) which then directly oxidises a variety of organic substrates including various polymeric dye; mnp2 encodes isozyme 2 Registry number: EC 1.11.1.- Synonym: mn-peroxidase, manganese-dependent peroxidase, mnp2 gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| glutathione peroxidase | <enzyme> A detoxifying enzyme that eliminates hydrogen peroxide and organic peroxides. Glutathione is an essential cofactor for the enzyme and its reaction involves the oxidation of glutathione (GSH) to glutathione disulphide (GSSG). The GSSG is then reduced to GSH by glutathione reductase. Glutathione peroxidase, (GPX), has a selenocysteine residue in its active site. Three forms of the enzyme exist: cy toplasmic GPX, plasma GPX and phospholipid hydroperoxide GPX. (18 Nov 1997) |
| chloride peroxidase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the chlorination of a range of organic molecules, forming stable carbon-chloride bonds. Chemical name: Chloride:hydrogen-peroxide oxidoreductase Registry number: EC 1.11.1.10 (12 Dec 1998) |
