| 설명 | 국한성인 불쾌 또는 고통스러운 감각. 생체에 침해적인 자극이 가해졌을 때 생기는 통각은 상황, 과거의 경험, 심리적인 요인에 의해 변화한다. 특징으로서 순응이 어려울 정도로 다양한 생체반응을 일으킨다. 통각은 몸통증과 내장통증으로 분류되며, 몸통증은 다시 얕은 통증과 깊은 통증으로 나뉜다. 얕은 통증은 피부나 점막의 통각으로 통점으로서 존재하며, 깊은 통증은 근육, 뼈막, 관절통이다. 통증수용기는 자유신경 종말이다. 통증 정보를 전달하는 신경섬유는 Aδ와 C인데 Aδ섬유는 빠른 통증(일차통증)을 전달하고, C섬유는 느린 통증(이차통증)을 전달한다. 통각에는 상위중추에서 하행섬유에 가하는 하행억제가 존재하여, 통각이 상위중추로 전달되는 것을 조절하고 있다. |

| adult pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy | Muscular dystrophy of late onset, often in the second or third decade, with relatively mild course; X-linked recessive inheritance; perhaps allelic with Duchenne's dystrophy, but milder and not a genetic lethal. Compare: Duchenne dystrophy. Synonym: Becker type tardive muscular dystrophy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adult respiratory distress syndrome | <chest medicine, syndrome> A clinical syndrome that includes pulmonary insufficiency. It is a descriptive term that is applied to a variety of diffuse infiltrative processes in the lung. Manifestations include severe shortness of breath, rapid breathing and arterial hypoxaemia (low oxygen). Chest X-ray shows bilateral diffuse infiltrates. Treatment most often includes mechanical respiratory support. Causes include toxic gas (chlorine, NO2, smoke) exposure, severe metabolic derangement, gastric acid aspiration, pancreatitis, sepsis and trauma. Acronym: ARDS (12 Jul 2000) |
| adult rickets | <pathology> A condition marked by softening of the bones (due to impaired mineralisation, with excess accumulation of osteoid), with pain, tenderness, muscular weakness, anorexia and loss of weight, resulting from deficiency of vitamin D and calcium. Origin: Gr. Malakia = softness (18 Nov 1997) |
| adult T-cell leukaemia | Lymph nodes show a mixture of small and large atypical cells which are polymorphic and express nuclear pleiomorphism. Adult T-cell leukaemia is caused by HTLV-1 and is rare in the US and Europe but common in Japan. Tumour cells express CD2, CD3, CD5 and lack CD7. The most common chromosome change reported in adult T-cell leukaemia is presence of the 14q + marker (05 Mar 2000) |
| adult T-cell lymphoma | <tumour> An acute or subacute disease associated with a human T-cell virus, with lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, skin lesions, peripheral blood involvement, and hypercalcaemia. Synonym: adult T-cell leukaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adult tuberculosis | Tuberculosis found in adults and characterised by lesions near the apex of an upper lobe, which may cavitate or heal with scarring without spreading to lymph nodes; theoretically, secondary tuberculosis may be due to exogenous reinfection or to reactivation of a dormant endogenous infection. Synonym: adult tuberculosis, postprimary tuberculosis, reinfection tuberculosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| respiratory distress syndrome, adult | A syndrome of life-threatening progressive pulmonary insufficiency in the absence of known pulmonary disease, usually following a systemic insult such as surgery or major trauma. (12 Dec 1998) |
| coeliac disease, adult | See Coeliac sprue. (12 Dec 1998) |
| still's disease, adult-onset | Systemic-onset rheumatoid arthritis in adults. It differs from classical rheumatoid arthritis in that it is more often marked by acute febrile onset, and generalised lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly are more prominent. (12 Dec 1998) |
| disease, adult coeliac | This condition results from an immune (allergic) reaction to gluten, a protein found in wheat and related grains and present in many foods that we eat. Sprue causes impaired absorption and digestion of nutrients through the small intestine. Symptoms include requent diarrhoea and weight loss. A skin condition called dermatitis herpetiformis can be associated with coeliac sprue. The most accurate diagnostic test for sprue is a biopsy of the involved small bowel. Treatment is to avoid gluten in the diet. Medications are used for refractory (stubborn) sprue. Known under a number of other names, including coeliac sprue. (12 Dec 1998) |
| abdominal pain | Sensation of discomfort, distress, or agony in the abdominal region. (12 Dec 1998) |
| acute testicular pain | <radiology> Diagnostic considerations: Testicular torsion, Torsion of testicular appendix, Epididymo-orchitis, Scrotal abscess (12 Dec 1998) |
| ankle pain | The ankle is a hinged joint. The severity of ankle sprains ranges from mild (which can resolve within 24 hours) to severe (which can require surgical repair). Tendinitis of the ankle can be caused by trauma or inflammatory forms of arthritis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| back pain | A continuous pain located in the back, usually below the cervical level. For lower back pain or pain in the lumbar region, low back pain is available. (12 Dec 1998) |
