| cerebrovascular accident | <neurology> This general term encompasses such problems as stroke and cerebral haemorrhage. Acronym: CVA (12 Jan 1998) |

| cerebrovascular accident prevention | In many cases, a person may have a transient ischemic attack (TIA). A neurological event with the symptoms of a stroke, but the symptoms go away within a short period of time. This is often caused by the narrowing or ulceration of the carotid arteries (the major arteries in the neck that supply blood to the brain). If not treated, there is a high risk of having a major stroke in the future. If you suspect a TIA, you should seek medical attention right away. An operation to clean out the carotid artery and restore normal blood flow through the artery (a carotid endarterectomy) markedly reduces the incidence of a subsequent stroke. In other cases, when a person has a narrowed carotid artery, but no symptoms, the risk of having a stroke can be reduced with medications such as aspirin and ticlopidine (TICLID). These medications act by partially blocking the function of blood elements, called platelets, which assist blood clotting. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cerebrovascular circulation | The circulation of blood through the vessels of the brain. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cerebrovascular disease | <cardiology, pathology> A general term which encompasses a variety of diseases which affect (via the occlusive effects of atherosclerosis) the arteries which supply the brain. See: stroke. (12 Jan 1998) |
| cerebrum | <anatomy> The portion of the brain (frontal lobes) where thought and higher function reside. (12 Jan 1998) |

| Cerenkov radiation | Light given off by a transparent medium when a high energy particle speeds through it at a velocity greater than that of light in that medium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cereolysin | <protein> Cytolytic (haemolytic) toxin released by Bacillus cereus. Inactivated by oxygen, reactivated by thiol reduction (hence thiol activated cytolysin). Binds to cholesterol in the plasma membrane and rearrangement of the toxin cholesterol complexes in the membrane leads to altered permeability. (18 Nov 1997) |

Cerithidea cingulata serves as host for Heterophyes heterophyes in Japan and Southeast Asia; Cerithidea scalariformis for cercariae that induce swimmer's itch in the southeastern U.S. From Florida to Texas.

| cerium | <chemical> An element of the rare earth family of metals. It has the atomic symbol ce, atomic number 58, and atomic weight 140.12. Cerium is a malleable metal used in industrial applications. Chemical name: Cerium (12 Dec 1998) |
| cerium isotopes | Stable cerium atoms that have the same atomic number as the element cerium, but differ in atomic weight. Ce-136, 138, and 142 are stable cerium isotopes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cerebral aneurysm |
A cerebral or brain aneurysm is a cerebrovascular disorder in which weakness in the wall of a cerebral artery or vein causes a localized dilation or ballooning of the blood vessel. A common location of cerebral aneurysms is on the arteries at the base of the brain, known as the Circle of Willis. Aneurysms may result from congenital defects, preexisting conditions such as high blood pressure and atherosclerosis (the buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries), or head trauma. ...

| cerebral hypoxia |
Cerebral hypoxia refers to a condition in which there is a decrease of oxygen supply to the brain even though there is adequate blood flow. Drowning, strangling, choking, suffocation, cardiac arrest, head trauma, carbon monoxide poisoning, and complications of general anesthesia can create conditions that can lead to cerebral hypoxia. Symptoms of mild cerebral hypoxia include inattentiveness, poor judgment, memory loss, and a decrease in motor coordination. ...

| cerebral palsy |
Cerebral palsy or CP is a group of permanent disorders associated with developmental brain injuries that occur during fetal development, birth, or shortly after birth. It is characterized by a disruption of motor skills, with symptoms such as spasticity, paralysis, or seizures. Cerebral palsy is a form of static encephalopathy. One form of it, spastic diplegia, is sometimes known as Little's disease in the United Kingdom. ...

| cerebrovascular accident |
A stroke or cerebrovascular accident (CVA) occurs when the blood supply to a part of the brain is suddenly interrupted by occlusion (an ischemic stroke- approximately 90% of strokes), by hemorrhage (a hemorrhagic stroke - less than 10% of strokes) or other causes. Ischemia is a reduction of blood flow most commonly due to occlusion (an obstruction). ...

| certification |
A certification, or qualification, is a designation earned by a person, product or process. Certification may be a synonym for licensure but more often licensure applies only to persons and is required by law (whereas certification is generally voluntary). Certification of persons indicates that the individual has a specific knowledge, skills, or abilities in the view of the certifying body. ...
