| Syndrome of Inappropriate ADH | <endocrinology, syndrome> Inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion produces a disorder of fluid and electrolyte balance which results in the inability to excrete dilute urine. Inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion is seen in association with certain cancers (for example oat cell lung cancer, pancreatic, prostate, Hodgkin's disease), central nervous system disorders, head injury, myxoedema, psychosis and certain drugs. Symptoms include weight gain, nausea, vomiting, muscle cramps, confusion and convulsions. Incidence: approximately 1 in 100,000. Acronym: SIADH (18 Nov 1997) |
| syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone | Continued secretion of antidiuretic hormone despite low serum osmolality and expanded extracellular volume. (05 Mar 2000) |
| syndrome premenstrual | A combination of emotional, physical, psychological, and mood disturbances that occur after ovulation and normally end with the onset of the menstrual flow. (12 Dec 1998) |
| syndrome x | Angina pectoris or angina-like chest pain with a normal coronary arteriogram and positive exercise test. The cause of the syndrome is unknown. While its recognition is of clinical importance, its prognosis is excellent. (12 Dec 1998) |
| syndrome, antiphospholipid antibody | An immune disorder characterised by the presence of abnormal antibodies in the blood associated with certain medical conditions including abnormal blood clotting, migraine headaches, premature miscarriage, and low blood platelet counts (thrombocytopenia). (12 Dec 1998) |
| syndrome, barlow's | Barlow's syndrome is mitral valve prolapse (also known as click murmur syndrome ), the most common heart valve abnormality, affecting 5-10% of the world population. Most patients have no symptoms and require no treatment. However, the condition can be associated with fatigue and/or palpitations. The mitral valve prolapse can often be detected by a doctor during examination of the heart and can be confirmed with an echocardiogram. Patients are usually given antibiotics prior to any procedure which might introduce bacteria into the bloodstream, including dental work and minor surgery. (12 Dec 1998) |
| syndrome, behcet's | Behcet's syndrome is classically characterised as a triad of symptoms that include recurring crops of mouth ulcers (called apthous ulcers), genital ulcers, and inflammation of a specialised area around the pupil of the eye, the uvea. (the inflammation is called uveitis.) the cause of behcet's syndrome is not known. The disease is more frequent and severe in patients from the eastern mediterranean and asia than those of european descent. (12 Dec 1998) |
| syndrome, bernard | A complex of abnormal findings, namely sinking in of one eyeball, ipsilateral ptosis (drooping of the upper eyelid on the same side) and miosis (constriction of the pupil of that eye) together with anhidosis (lack of sweating) and flushing of the affected side of the face. Due to paralysis of certain nerves (specifically, the cervical sympathetic nerves). Also called horner-bernard syndrome, bernard-horner syndrome and horner's ptosis but best known today as horner syndrome. (12 Dec 1998) |
| syndrome, bloch-sulzberger | Also known as incontinentia pigmenti (ip). A genetic disease with blisters that develop soon after birth on the trunk and limbs, then heal, but leave dark (hyperpigmented) streaks and marble-like whorls on the skin. (the name came from the erroneous idea that the skin cells were incontinent of pigment and could not contain it normally.) other key features of ip include dental and nail abnormalities, bald patches, and (in about 1/3rd of cases) mental retardation. Ip is an x-linked dominant with male lethality. The ip gene is in band q28 on the x chromosome. Mothers with ip have an equal chance of having a normal or ip daughter or a normal son. The ip sons die before birth. Ip is also known as bloch-sulzberger syndrome. (12 Dec 1998) |
| synovial membrane |
The synovium or synovial membrane is a thin, weak layer of tissue which lines the non-cartilaginous surfaces within the joint space, sealing it from the surrounding tissue. The membrane contains a fibrous outer layer, as well as an inner layer that is responsible for the production of specific components of synovial fluid, which nourishes and lubricates the joint. The membrane is also responsible for the removal of undesirable substances from the synovial fluid. ...

| synchrotron |
A synchrotron is a particular type of cyclic particle accelerator in which the magnetic field (to turn the particles so they circulate) and the electric field (to accelerate the particles) are carefully synchronized with the travelling particle beam. While a cyclotron uses a constant magnetic field and a constant-frequency applied electric field, and one of these is varied in the synchrocyclotron, both of these are varied in the synchrotron. ...

| synchrotron radiation |
Synchrotron radiation is electromagnetic radiation, similar to cyclotron radiation, but generated by the acceleration of relativistic electrons (i.e., moving near the speed of light). The radiation typically includes radio, optical, x-rays, and gamma rays. ...

| synthesis |
Synthesis (from the Greek words syn = plus and thesis = position) is commonly understood to be an integration of two or more pre-existing elements which results in a new creation. The term is broad in meaning and can apply to physical, ideological, and/or phenomenological entities. In dialectics, synthesis is the final result of attempts to reconcile the inherent contradiction between thesis and antithesis. ...
