| bone resorption | Bone loss due to osteoclastic activity. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| gingival resorption | The exposure of root surface by an apical shift in the position of the gingiva. (12 Dec 1998) |
| resorption | <physiology> The loss of substance through physiologic or pathologic means, such as loss of dentin and cementum of a tooth or of the alveolar process of the mandible or maxilla. Origin: L. Resorbere = to swallow again (10 Mar 1998) |
| resorption atelectasis | The slow partial collapse of a lobe that occurs when communication between alveoli and trachea is obstructed. (05 Mar 2000) |
| resorption lacunae | Tiny depressions, pits, or irregular grooves in bone that is being resorbed by osteoclasts. Synonym: resorption lacunae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ridge resorption | A loss in the volume and size of the alveolar portion of the mandible or maxilla. (05 Mar 2000) |
| root resorption | Resorption in which cementum or dentin is lost from the root of a tooth owing to cementoclastic or osteoclastic activity in conditions such as trauma of occlusion or neoplasms. (12 Dec 1998) |
| horizontal resorption | A progressive loss of alveolar and supporting bone surrounding the teeth, beginning at the most coronal level of the bone. Synonym: horizontal resorption. (05 Mar 2000) |
| internal resorption | A loss of tooth structure originating within the pulp cavity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tooth resorption | Resorption of calcified dental tissue, involving demineralization due to reversal of the cation exchange and lacunar resorption by osteoclasts. There are two types: external (as a result of tooth pathology) and internal (apparently initiated by a peculiar inflammatory hyperplasia of the pulp). (12 Dec 1998) |
| embryo resorption | Death and resorption of the embryo that takes place at any developmental stage after ovum implantation and before the completion of organogenesis. does not include foetal resorption. (12 Dec 1998) |
| foetal resorption | <obstetrics> Death and resorption of the foetus at any stage after the completion of organogenesis. It does not include embryo resorption. (12 Dec 1998) |
| absorption fever | An elevation of temperature often occurring, without other untoward symptoms, shortly after childbirth, assumed to be due to absorption of uterine discharges through abrasions of the vaginal wall. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acclimating fever | Elevated temperature with malaise that occurs upon working in a very hot environment. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aden fever | <virology> A tropical disease caused by dengue virus (Arbovirus), that is transmitted by the bite of an infected mosquito of the genus Aedes). Four severity grades of the illness are seen: Grade I: fever and constitutional symptoms. Grade II: grade I plus spontaneous bleeding of skin, gums or gastrointestinal tract. Grade III: grade II plus agitation and circulatory failure. Grade IV: profound shock. Grade I infection is seen most frequently in world travelers, where it is usually self-limited and rarely fatal. The other grades are referred to as dengue haemorrhagic fever and are often fatal. Dengue haemorrhagic fever appears to be an infection by one of the other dengue viruses. Prior immunity to a different dengue virus type appears to be important in the development of the more serious haemorrhagic form. Vaccines are available. Protection from mosquitoes is an important preventive measure. (15 Jan 1998) |
