| IRMA | 1) Intra-Retinal Microvascular Abnormalities 2) Immuno-Radio-Metric Assay... |
|---|---|
| AGR | aniridia, genitourinary abnormalities, and mental retardation; anticipatory goal response |
| AUA | American Urological Association; asymptomatic urinary abnormalities |
| IRMA | immunoradiometric assay; intraretinal microvascular abnormalities |
| KBG | syndrome of multiple abnormalities designated with the original patient's initials |
| stomatognathic system abnormalities | Congenital structural abnormalities of the mouth and jaws, including the dentition. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| digestive system abnormalities | Congenital structural abnormalities of the digestive system. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tooth abnormalities | Congenital absence of or defects in structures of the teeth. (12 Dec 1998) |
| jaw abnormalities | Congenital absence of or defects in structures of the jaw. (12 Dec 1998) |
| eye abnormalities | Congenital absence of or defects in structures of the eye; may also be hereditary. (12 Dec 1998) |
| urogenital abnormalities | Congenital structural abnormalities of the urogenital system. (12 Dec 1998) |
| aberrant ventricular conduction | Abnormal intraventricular conduction of a supraventricular beat, especially where surrounding beats are normally conducted. Synonym: ventricular aberration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accelerated conduction | Any pathologically increased speed of conduction; usually occurs between the atrium and ventricles as in the Wolff-Parkinson-White and Lown-Ganong-Levine syndromes; such accelerated pathways provide the bases for particular forms of reentry tachycardia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| A-H conduction time | Forward conduction of the cardiac impulse from atria to ventricles via the A-V node or any bypass tract, represented in the electrocardiogram by the P-R interval. P-H conduction time is from the onset of the P wave to the first high frequency component of the His bundle electrogram (normally 119 ± 38 msec); A-H conduction time is from the onset of the first high frequency component of the atrial electrogram to the first high frequency component of the His bundle electrogram (normally 92 ± 38 msec); P-A conduction time is from the onset of the P wave to the onset of the atrial electrogram (normally 27 ± 18 msec). (05 Mar 2000) |
| air conduction | In relation to hearing, the transmission of sound to the inner ear through the external auditory canal and the structures of the middle ear. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anomalous conduction | Conduction of cardiac electrical impulses through any abnormal pathway. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antegrade conduction | Conduction in the expected normal direction between any cardiac structures. Synonym: antegrade conduction, forward conduction, orthograde conduction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterograde conduction | Conduction in the expected normal direction between any cardiac structures. Synonym: antegrade conduction, forward conduction, orthograde conduction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aphasia, conduction | A type of fluent aphasia in which there is normal comprehension of spoken language but words are repeated incorrectly. It results from a lesion of the arcuate fasciculus connecting broca's and wernicke's areas. Like patients with wernicke's aphasia (aphasia, wernicke), patients with conduction aphasia are fluent but have many paraphasic errors (incorrect words or sounds substituted for correct ones). The degree of fluency is less than that in wernicke's aphasia, but comprehension is good. (12 Dec 1998) |
| atrioventricular conduction | Forward conduction of the cardiac impulse from atria to ventricles via the A-V node or any bypass tract, represented in the electrocardiogram by the P-R interval. P-H conduction time is from the onset of the P wave to the first high frequency component of the His bundle electrogram (normally 119 ± 38 msec); A-H conduction time is from the onset of the first high frequency component of the atrial electrogram to the first high frequency component of the His bundle electrogram (normally 92 ± 38 msec); P-A conduction time is from the onset of the P wave to the onset of the atrial electrogram (normally 27 ± 18 msec).
