|---|
| acute nephrosis | Acute oliguric renal failure, especially that caused by certain poisons. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| apical branch of inferior lobar branch of right pulmonary artery | <anatomy, artery> Branch (of the inferior lobar branch) of the right pulmonary artery serving the apical segment of the inferior lobe of the right lung. Synonym: ramus apicalis lobi inferioris arteriae pulmonalis dextrae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| congenital lobar emphysema | <radiology> Caused by bronchial cartilage abnormality, SOLID mass at birth: dilated alveoli filled with foetal lung fluid, usually in UPPER lobes (including RML), Treatment: surgical lobectomy Cf: cystic adenomatoid malformation (12 Dec 1998) |
| superior lingular branch of lingular branch of superior lobar left pulmonary artery | <anatomy, artery> Branch (of the lingular branch) of the left pulmonary artery serving the superior lingular segment of the superior lobe of the left lung. Synonym: ramus lingularis superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| unilateral lobar emphysema | A state in which the roentgenographic density of one lung (or one lobe) is markedly less than the density of the other(s) because of the presence of air trapped during expiration. Synonym: Macleod's syndrome, Swyer-James syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lobar | Having to do with a lobe. For example, lobar pneumonia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lobar bronchi | The divisions of the main bronchi that supply the lobes of the lungs; superior lobar bronchi, bronchus lobaris superior; middle lobar bronchi, bronchus lobaris medius; and inferior lobar bronchi, bronchus lobaris inferior are the three lobar bronchi on the right; superior lobar bronchi, bronchus lobaris superior, and inferior lobar bronchi, bronchus lobaris inferior are the two on the left. The lobar bronchi divide into segmental bronchi. Synonym: bronchi lobares. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lobar nephronia | A focal renal mass related to acute infection. Acute focal bacterial nephritis. Renal phlegmon (not an abscess; no free pus). (05 Mar 2000) |
| lobar pneumonia | Pneumonia affecting one or more lobes, or part of a lobe, of the lung in which the consolidation is virtually homogeneous; commonly due to infection by Streptococcus pneumoniae; sputum is scanty and usually of a rusty tint from altered blood. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lobar sclerosis | Circumscribed atrophy of the cerebral cortex. Synonym: lobar sclerosis, progressive circumscribed cerebral atrophy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amyloid nephrosis | The nephrotic syndrome due to deposition of amyloid in the kidney. See: renal amyloidosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bile nephrosis | <gastroenterology, nephrology> Acute renal failure occurring in a patient with liver failure. The exact causal relationship in unclear, but those with alcoholic cirrhosis and alcoholic hepatitis are at greatest risk. Symptoms include decreased or absent urine production, jaundice, abdominal swelling, delirium, confusion, nausea and vomiting. Prognosis is very poor. (27 Sep 1997) |
| vacuolar nephrosis | Vacuolation of the epithelial cytoplasm of renal convoluted tubules in patients seriously depleted of potassium; vacuoles do not contain fat or glycogen, concentrating ability is impaired, polyuria and polydipsia are common, and pyelonephritis may develop. Synonym: vacuolar nephrosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cholaemic nephrosis | An obsolete term for the occurrence of acute renal failure in jaundiced patients; the kidneys contain tubular casts of bile and may show tubular necrosis, but there is little evidence that jaundice or bile casts directly damage the kidneys. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cholemic nephrosis | <nephrology> Acute renal failure occurring in a patient with liver failure. The exact causal relationship in unclear, but those with alcoholic cirrhosis and alcoholic hepatitis are at greatest risk. Symptoms include decreased or absent urine production, jaundice, abdominal swelling, delirium, confusion, nausea and vomiting. Prognosis is very poor. (15 Jan 1998) |
