|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 신경축삭을 둘러싸고 있는 말이집(myelin sheath)의 파괴로 인한 병적상태를 말함. 파괴된 말이집은 흉터를 남기게 되어 신경축삭을 통한 신경전달이 제대로 되지 않아 운동, 감각, 자율신경 모두의 신경전달장애가 나타난다. 이 병터는 어디서나 나타날 수 있어서 그 장애가 나타나는 부위에 따라 서로 다른 증상을 호소한다. |

| 영문 | multiple myeloma | 한글 | 다발골수종 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 다발성 원발성골종양. 머리뼈-갈비뼈-복장뼈-척추뼈-골반 등에 잘 나타나고, 물렁물렁한 종괴를 형성하며, 뼈의 흡수가 일어나고, 40~60세 남자에게 많이 발생한다. 골수종 종양세포는 형질세포에서 유래한 것이어서 형질세포종이라고도 한다. 과거에는 형질세포성골수종 이외에는 다른 골수조혈요소에서 생기는 골수종이라고 생각했지만 현재는 부정되고 있다. 형질세포는 원래 면역글로불린을 생산하는 세포이며, 그것이 종양화한 다발 골수종 환자에서도 대부분 혈청 속에 면역 글로불린이 증가된 것을 볼 수 있다. 증가한 글로불린은 IgG나 IgA인 경우가 많지만 다른 형도 있다. 골수종 환자 약 50%는 오줌에서 벤스죤스단백질이 검출되는데, 이 단백질의 축적에 의해 요세관이 파괴되고, 콩팥경화가 일어난다. 골수종 환자에서는 혈청단백 이상으로 가끔 아밀로이드증이 나타난다. 뼈 X선 소견으로서는 도려낸 병터, 골융해상, 병적골절이 관찰된다. |

|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 해리성 정신장애의 하나로 나타난다. 한 사람이 여러 사람의 성격을 소유하고 있는 것으로 마치 “지킬박사와 하이드 씨”와 같은 경우이다. 아마, 현재 자신의 처지에서 벗어나고 싶은 무의식적인 욕망에서 비롯되는 것으로 여겨진다. |

| 영문 | toxemia of pregnancy | 한글 | 임신중독증 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 임산부에서 나타나는 혈관 과잉반응성으로 인한 일군의 증상. 고혈압, 단백뇨, 체중증가를 동반한 전신적 부종이 3대 주증상이며 심한 경우 간질 발작을 보이기도 한다. 초산부, 쌍태아 임신 등에서 자주 나타나며, 심한 경우 산모와 태아 모두 위험할 수 있다. 그리고, 심한 고혈압과 간질 발작으로 인한 태아의 산소 부족을 방지하기 위해 긴밀한 감시를 요한다. |

| hyaline membrane disease of the newborn | A disease seen especially in premature neonates with respiratory distress; characterised postmortem by atelectasis and alveolar ducts lined by an eosinophilic membrane; also associated with reduced amounts of lung surfactant. Synonym: hyaline membrane syndrome, respiratory distress syndrome of the newborn. (05 Mar 2000) |

| newborn jaundice | <paediatrics> A normal condition of elevated bilirubin in the bloodstream of a newborn. This occurs secondary to immaturity of liver cells (cannot effectively metabolise bilirubin) and the increased destruction of red blood cells (further releasing bilirubin into the bloodstream) that is normally seen in the newborn. The jaundice usually appears between the 2nd and 5th days of life and usually clears by 2 weeks. Other factors which can potentiate jaundice in the newborn include: sepsis, biliary atresia, Rhesus incompatibility, galactosaemia, cephalohaematoma, polycythaemia, G-6-P-D deficiency and congenital rubella, syphilis, toxoplasmosis or cytomegalovirus infection.

| newborn screening | Tests of newborns to detect those at increased risk for disorders such as pku (phenylketonuria) and hypothyroidism. (12 Dec 1998) |
| subcutaneous fat necrosis of newborn | Indurated plaques and nodules appearing usually a few days or a few weeks after birth and usually resolving within a few months, characterised microscopically by birefringent needle-shaped crystals within necrotic fat cells; the condition remains localised, unlike sclerema neonatorum. (05 Mar 2000) |

| infant, newborn | An infant during the first month after birth. (12 Dec 1998) |
| infant, newborn, diseases | Diseases of newborn infants present at birth (congenital) or developing within the first month of birth. It does not include hereditary diseases not manifesting at birth or within the first 30 days of life nor does it include inborn errors of metabolism. Both hereditary diseases and metabolism, inborn errors are available as general concepts. (12 Dec 1998) |
| jaundice of the newborn | Icterus which can be accentuated by many factors including excessive haemolysis, sepsis, neonatal hepatitis or congenital atresia of the biliary system. Synonym: physiologic icterus, jaundice of the newborn, neonatal jaundice, physiologic jaundice. (05 Mar 2000) |
| leukocytosis of the newborn | An apparently "physiologic" leukocytosis usually observed in newborn infants, in whom the white blood cell counts are usually greater than 10,000 per cu mm, and sometimes range to 45,000 per cu mm, resulting chiefly from increased numbers of neutrophils (especially single and bilobed forms). On the third or fourth day of life, the count generally decreases rapidly, and then fluctuates for several days; beginning about the fourth week of life, a relative lymphocytosis is observed, and this normally continues for a few years. (05 Mar 2000) |
| abortion, multiple | Couples who have had 2 or more miscarriages (spontaneous abortions) have about a 5% chance that one member of the couple is carrying a chromsome translocation responsible for the miscarriages. (12 Dec 1998) |

| cancer, multiple myeloma | A bone marrow cancer involving a type of white blood cell called a plasma (or myeloma) cell. The tumour cells can form a single collection (a plasmacytoma) or many tumours (multiple myeloma). Plasma cells are part of the immune system and make antibodies. Because patients have an excess of identical plasma cells, they have too much of one type of antibody. As myeloma cells increase in number, they damage and weaken the bones, causing pain and often fractures. When bones are damaged, calcium is released into the blood leading to hypercalcaemia (excess calcium in the blood) and that causes loss of appetite, nausea, thirst, fatigue, muscle weakness, restlessness, and confusion. Myeloma cells prevent the bone marrow from forming normal plasma cells and other white blood cells important to the immune system so patients may not be able to fight infections. The cancer cells can also prevent the growth of new red blood cells, causing anaemia. Excess antibody proteins and calcium may prevent the kidneys from filtering and cleaning the blood properly Cancer, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma: A lymphoma is a cancer that develops in the lymphatic system. The most common symptom of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas is a painless swelling in the lymph nodes in the neck, underarm, or groin. Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas are diagnosed with a biopsy of an enlarged lymph node. Follow-up examinations are important after lymphoma treatment. Most relapses occur in the first 2 years after therapy.
