| hemoglobinometer | <physiology> Same as Haemochromometer. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
|---|---|
| hemoglobinopathy | <disease, haematology> Disorder due to abnormalities in the haemoglobin molecule, the best known being sickle cell anaemia in which there is a single amino acid substitution (valine for glutamate) in position 6 of the beta chain. In other cases one of the globin chains is synthesised at a slower rate, despite being normal in structure. See: thalassaemia. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (18 Nov 1997) |
| hemolysin | <protein> Bacterial exotoxins that can lyse erythrocytes. (18 Nov 1997) |
| hemolysis | <haematology> Disruption of the integrity of the red cell membrane causing release of haemoglobin. Haemolysis may be caused by bacterial haemolysins, by antibodies that cause complement dependent lysis, by placing red cells in a hypotonic solution or by defects in the red cell membrane. Origin: Gr. Lysis = dissolution (18 Nov 1997) |
| hemolytic anaemia | <disease, haematology> Anaemia resulting from reduced red cell survival time and haemolysis, either due to an intrinsic defect in the erythrocyte (hereditary spherocytosis or ellipsocytosis, enzyme defects, haemoglobinopathy) or an extrinsic damaging agent. For example autoantibody (autoimmune haemolytic anaemia), iso antibody, parasitic invasion of the cells (malaria), bacterial or chemical haemolysins, mechanical damage to erythrocytes. Origin: Gr. Haima = blood (18 Nov 1997) |
| hemonectin | <protein> A 60 kD protein found in the bone marrow matrix of mice specifically aiding adhesion of granulocyte lineage cells. (18 Nov 1997) |
| hemopathy | <haematology> Any disease of the blood. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (18 Nov 1997) |
| hemoperfusion | <physiology> The act of pouring over or through, especially the passage of blood through the vessels of a specific organ. (18 Nov 1997) |
| hemopexin | <protein> Single chain haem binding plasma _1 glycoprotein (57 kD) unlike haptoglobin does not bind haemoglobin. Present at around 1mg/ml in plasma. Responsible for transporting haem groups to the liver for breakdown. Structurally related to vitronectin and some collagenases. (18 Nov 1997) |
| hemophilia | <disease, haematology> A haemorrhagic diathesis occurring in two main forms: 1. Haemophilia A (classic haemophilia, factor VIII deficiency), an X linked disorder due to deficiency of coagulation factor VIII. 2. Haemophilia B (factor IX deficiency, Christmas disease), also X linked, due to deficiency of coagulation factor IX. Both forms are determined by a mutant gene near the telomere of the long arm of the X chromosome (Xq), but a different loci and are characterised by subcutaneous and intramuscular haemorrhages, bleeding from the mouth, gums, lips and tongue, haematuria and haemarthroses. (18 Nov 1997) |
| hemopoietic | <pharmacology> Refers to an agent or process that affects or promotes the formation of blood cells. (09 Oct 1997) |
| hemoptysis | <symptom> The expectoration of blood or of blood stained sputum. Origin: Gr. Ptyein = to spit (18 Nov 1997) |
| hemorrhage | <physiology> The escape of blood from the vessels, bleeding. Small haemorrhages are classified according to size as petechiae (very small), purpura (up to 1 cm) and ecchymoses (larger). The massive accumulation of blood within a tissue is called a haematoma. Origin: Gr. Rhegnynai = to burst forth (18 Nov 1997) |
| hemorrhagic | <haematology> Relating to bleeding and haemorrhage. (09 Oct 1997) |
| hemorrhoid | <anatomy, surgery> A varicose dilatation of a vein of the superior or inferior haemorrhoidal plexus, resulting from a persistent increase in venous pressure. Presents as a livid and painful swelling formed by the dilation of the blood vessels around the margin of, or within, the anus, from which blood or mucus is occasionally discharged. The singular haemorrhoid is rarely used. Synonym: piles. Origin: Gr. Haimorrhois, L. Haemorrhoidae. (01 Dec 1998) |
