| experimental psychology | A subdiscipline within the science of psychology that is concerned with the study of conditioning, learning, perception, motivation, emotion, language, and thinking, also used in relation to subject-matter areas in which experimental, in contrast to correlational or socio-experiential, methods are emphasized.

| alcoholic cirrhosis | <gastroenterology> Alcoholic cirrhosis is a condition of irreversible liver disease due to the chronic inflammatory and toxic effects of ethanol on the liver. In cirrhosis, the liver cells are replaced by fibrous scar tissue. Fibrosis leads to the development of portal hypertension. The development of cirrhosis is directly related to the duration and quantity of alcohol consumption. The manifestations of cirrhosis are related to the liver's inability to not adequately remove waste products from the bloodstream and the effects of portal hypertension. (15 Nov 1997) |
| biliary cirrhosis | <gastroenterology> A rare form of liver disease which results in the irreversible destruction of the liver and bile ducts. The cause is unknown, but is thought to be an autoimmune mechanism. (27 Sep 1997) |
| Budd's cirrhosis | Chronic enlargement of the liver without jaundice, formerly thought to be of intestinal origin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiac cirrhosis | An extensive fibrotic reaction within the liver as a result of chronic constrictive pericarditis or prolonged congestive heart failure; true cirrhosis with fibrous bridging of lobules is unusual. Synonym: cardiac liver, congestive cirrhosis, pseudocirrhosis, stasis cirrhosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Glisson's cirrhosis | Chronic perihepatitis with thickening and subsequent contraction, resulting in atrophy and deformity of the liver. Synonym: capsular cirrhosis of liver. (05 Mar 2000) |
| periportal cirrhosis | Cirrhosis of the liver with wide bands of fibrosis surrounding large segments of liver, with regenerative nodules. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cholangiolitic cirrhosis | A form of cirrhosis in which there is diffuse inflammation of the cholangioles, with inflammation, fibrosis, and regeneration; characterised by chronicity, relapses, and febrile episodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cirrhosis | <gastroenterology> Liver disease characterised pathologically by loss of the normal microscopic lobular architecture, with fibrosis and nodular regeneration. The term is sometimes used to refer to chronic interstitial inflammation of any organ. Origin: Gr. Kirrhos = orange yellow (18 Nov 1997) |
