| compartment syndromes | Conditions in which increased pressure within a limited space compromises the circulation and function of tissue within that space. Compartmentation involves mainly the leg but also involved are the forearm, arm, thigh, shoulder, and buttock. Some of the causes of increased pressure are trauma, tight dressings, haemorrhage, and exercise. Sequelae include nerve compression, paralysis, and contracture. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|
| anterior compartment syndrome | <syndrome> Rapid swelling, increased tension, pain, and ischemic necrosis of the muscles of the anterior tibial compartment of the leg, often following excessive exertion. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| anterior tibial compartment syndrome | <syndrome> Ischemic necrosis of the muscles of the anterior tibial compartment of the leg, presumed due to compression of arteries by swollen muscles following unaccustomed exertion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compartment | <biology> In the insect wing, for example: there are two compartments, anterior and posterior, each containing several clones, but clones do not cross the boundary. It seems from studies with homoeotic mutants that cells in different compartments are expressing different sets of genes. The evidence for such developmental compartments in vertebrates is sparse at present. (18 Nov 1997) |
| compartment syndrome | <syndrome> A group of symptoms which indicate a nerve, blood vessel or tendon is being constricted due to swelling within a closed anatomic space. A compartment syndrome may occur in an extremity after trauma (fracture) or inflammation (carpal tunnel syndrome). Some medications can also precipitate this condition. Symptoms include numbness, tingling, pain or loss of movement in an extremity. Surgery may be indicated if symptoms are severe or prolonged. (05 Jan 1998) |
| plasmatic compartment | Compartment surrounded by a double biomembrane and containing polynucleotides (e.g., mitochondria). (05 Mar 2000) |
| polyclonal compartment | When the progeny of several cells occupy an area or volume with a defined boundary, it is referred to as a polyclonal compartment, for example clones lying close to the mid line of the wing of Drosophila. (18 Nov 1997) |
| nonplasmatic compartment | Compartment surrounded by a single biomembrane (e.g., vacuoles, lysosomes). (05 Mar 2000) |
| double compartment hydrocephalus | Independent supra-and infra-tentorial hydrocephalus usually due to a veil occlusion of the aqueduct of Sylvius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| androgen resistance syndromes | A class of disorders associated with 5a-steroid reductase deficiency, testicular feminization, and related disorders. Compare: steroid 5a-reductase, Reifenstein's syndrome, infertile male syndrome, testicular feminization syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aortic arch syndromes | Any of a group of disorders leading to occlusion of the arteries arising from the aortic arch. Such occlusion may be caused by atherosclerosis, arterial embolism, syphilitic or tuberculous arteritis, etc. (12 Dec 1998) |
| malabsorption syndromes | General term for syndromes of malnutrition due to failure of normal intestinal absorption of nutrients. (12 Dec 1998) |
| paraneoplastic syndromes | In patients with neoplastic diseases a wide variety of clinical pictures which are indirect and usually remote effects produced by tumour cell metabolites or other products. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pathologic startle syndromes | A group of disorders characterised by markedly exaggerated startle reflex and other exaggerated stimulus-induced responses. Includes hyperexplexia and probably latah and the jumping Frenchman of Maine syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chromosomal instability syndromes | A group of mendelian conditions associated with chromosomal instability and breakage in vitro, they often manifest an increased tendency to certain types of malignancies. See: Bloom's syndrome, fragile X syndrome, xeroderma pigmentosum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| myelodysplastic syndromes | Conditions in which the bone marrow shows qualitative and quantitative changes suggestive of a preleukaemic process, but having a chronic course that does not necessarily terminate as acute leukaemia. (12 Dec 1998) |
