| cerebrosclerosis | Encephalosclerosis, hardening of the cerebral hemispheres. Origin: cerebro-+ G. Sklerosis, hardening (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| cerebrose | <biochemistry> Hexose identical to glucose except that orientation of H and OH on carbon 4 are exchanged. A component of cerebrosides and gangliosides, glycoproteins. Lactose, the disaccharide of milk, consists of galactose joined to glucose by a _(1-4) glycosidic link. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cerebroside | <biochemistry> Glycolipid found in brain (11% of dry matter). Sphingosine core with fatty amide or hydroxy fatty amide and a single monosaccharide on the alcohol group (either glucose or galactose). (18 Nov 1997) |
| cerebroside lipidosis | <disease> A chronic congenital disease of lipid metabolism caused by a deficiency of the beta-glucocerebrosidase enzyme. The defect is most common in Ashkenazi Jews. Clinical features are hepatosplenomegaly (enlargement of liver and spleen) and in severe early onset forms of the disease, with neurological dysfunction. Inheritance: autosomal recessive. (27 Sep 1997) |
| cerebroside-sulfatase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of cerebroside 3-sulfate (sulfatide) to yield a cerebroside and inorganic sulfate. A marked deficiency of arylsulfatase a, which is considered the heat-labile component of cerebroside sulfatase, has been demonstrated in all forms of metachromatic leukodystrophy (leukodystrophy, metachromatic). Chemical name: Cerebroside-3-sulfate 3-sulfohydrolase Registry number: EC 3.1.6.8 (12 Dec 1998) |
| cerebrosidosis | A lipidosis as in Gaucher's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebrospinal | <anatomy> Pertaining to the brain and spinal cord. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cerebrospinal axis | The central nervous system; the brain and spinal cord. Synonym: encephalomyelonic axis, neural axis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebrospinal fever | An acute infectious disease affecting children and young adults, caused by Neisseria meningitidis; characterised by nasopharyngeal catarrh, headache, vomiting, convulsions, stiffness in the neck (nuchal rigidity), photophobia, constipation, cutaneous hyperesthesia, a purpuric or herpetic eruption, and the presence of Kernig's sign. Fulminant form may cause Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome. Synonym: cerebrospinal fever, epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebrospinal fluid | <neurology> A clear, colourless fluid that contains small quantities of glucose and protein. Cerebrospinal fluid fills the ventricles of the brain and the central canal of the spinal cord. Analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid can be accomplished using lumbar puncture. The presence of white blood cells or bacteria within the cerebrospinal fluid can indicate a bacterial infection (meningitis). Acronym: CSF (12 Jan 1998) |
| cerebrospinal fluid pressure | Manometric pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid as measured by lumbar, cerebroventricular, or cisternal puncture. Within the cranial cavity it is called intracranial pressure. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cerebrospinal fluid proteins | Proteins in the cerebrospinal fluid, normally albumin and globulin present in the ratio of 8 to 1. Increases in protein levels are of diagnostic value in neurological diseases. (brain and bannister's clinical neurology, 7th ed, p221) (12 Dec 1998) |
| cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhoea | A discharge of cerebrospinal fluid from the nose. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebrospinal fluid shunts | Tubes inserted to create communication between a cerebral ventricle and the internal jugular vein. Their emplacement permits draining of cerebrospinal fluid for relief of hydrocephalus or other condition leading to fluid accumulation in the ventricles. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cerebrospinal index | The figure obtained by multiplying the pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid, after fluid has been withdrawn by spinal puncture, by the quantity of fluid withdrawn and then dividing by the original pressure. Synonym: cephalorrhachidian index. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebral arteriosclerosis |
arteriosclerosis of the arteries of the brain.
