| access | 1. A coming to, or near approach; admittance; admission; accessibility; as, to gain access to a prince. "I did repel his letters, and denied His access to me." (Shak) 2. The means, place, or way by which a thing may be approached; passage way; as, the access is by a neck of land. "All access was thronged." 3. Admission to sexual intercourse. "During coverture, access of the husband shall be presumed, unless the contrary be shown." (Blackstone) 4. Increase by something added; addition; as, an access of territory. [In this sense accession is more generally used] "I, from the influence of thy looks, receive Access in every virtue." (Milton) 5. An onset, attack, or fit of disease. "The first access looked like an apoplexy." (Burnet) 6. A paroxysm; a fit of passion; an outburst; as, an access of fury. Origin: F. Acces, L. Accessus, fr. Accedere. See Accede.

| health care quality, access, and evaluation | The concept concerned with all aspects of the quality, accessibility, and appraisal of health care and health care delivery. (12 Dec 1998) |
| expanded access | Refers to any of the FDA procedures (compassionate use, parallel track and treatment IND see) that distributes experimental drugs to patients who are failing on currently available treatments for their condition and also are unable to participate in ongoing clinical trials. (09 Oct 1997) |
| arteriovenous | <anatomy> Both arterial and venous, pertaining to or affecting an artery and a vein. (18 Nov 1997) |
| arteriovenous anastomosis | <anatomy> A vessel that directly interconnects an artery and a vein, and that acts as a shunt to bypass the capillary bed. Not to be confused with surgical anastomosis, nor with arteriovenous fistula. (12 Dec 1998) |
| arteriovenous aneurysm | <anatomy> A dilated arteriovenous shunt where there is communication between an artery and a vein, sometimes congenital. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriovenous carbon dioxide difference | <physiology> The difference in carbon dioxide content (in ml per 100 ml blood) between arterial and venous blood. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriovenous fistula | <surgery> The surgical joining of an artery and a vein under the skin for the purpose of haemodialysis. Larger arteriovenous shunts can place strain on the heart since arterial blood is diverted back to the venous circulation before it has a chance to deliver nutrients and oxygen to the body tissues. (27 Sep 1997) |
| arteriovenous malformation | <anatomy, embryology> A tangled collection of abnormal blood vessels where there is an abnormal communication between the arterial and venous systems. The afferents flow directly into the venous efferents without the usual resistance of an intervening capillary bed. They are mostly congenital. If large enough, they may produce a shunt of sufficient magnitude to raise the cardiac output. Common sites include; skin, liver, brain, brainstem and spinal cord, where they may cause headaches, seizures or bleeding (subarachnoid haemorrhage). See: arteriovenous fistula, cerebral arteriovenous malformations. Synonym: haemangioma (20 Jun 2000) |
| arteriovenous oxygen difference | <physiology> The difference in the oxygen content (in ml per 100 ml blood) between arterial and venous blood. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriovenous shunt | <anatomy, surgery> A direct connection between an artery and vein. Most often due to the surgical joining of an artery and a vein under the skin for the purpose of haemodialysis. Larger arteriovenous shunts can create significant extra workload on the heart since arterial blood is diverted back to the venous circulation before it has a chance to deliver nutrients and oxygen to the body tissues. (20 Jun 2000) |
| arteriovenous strabismus syndrome | <syndrome> Strabismus in which the angle of deviation is more marked on looking upward or downward. See: A-esotropia, V-esotropia, A-exotropia, V-exotropia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebral arteriovenous malformations | Vascular anomalies in which tangles of arteries are connected directly to veins without intervening capillaries. The resulting vessels are thin-walled owing to poorly developed elastic and muscle tissue within the media. They can be located anywhere in the brain and can produce headaches, seizures, focal neurologic deficits, or intracranial haemorrhage. Familial cases are rare, indicating that the problem reflects sporadic abnormalities in embryologic development. (12 Dec 1998) |
| congenital pulmonary arteriovenous fistula | Abnormal congenital communication between pulmonary arteries and veins usually found in the lung parenchyma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriovenous access |
Use of a shunt to connect an artery to a vein. This may be used in renal dialysis.
