| 설명 | 인간을 질병으로부터 구하고 건강법을 모색하는 학문. 의학은 인류의 역사와 더불어 경험의료로서 존재해 왔으며, 일반과학이 진보함에 따라서 독자성을 지닌 과학으로 발전하여 인체에 관한 연구와 질병의 예방 및 치료를 연구하는 학문이라고 정의된다. 의학은 질병에 관해서 연구하고, 그 예방이나 진단-치료 및 건강의 유지와 증진을 목적으로 하는 학문이다. 역사적으로 병을 고치는 것, 즉 기술적 또는 응용적 측면이라고 할 수 있는 의료가 먼저 발달하고 중요시되어 왔으며, 그런 점에서 임상의학이 먼저 발달하였고, 기초의학과 예방의학이 발전하게 되었다. 의학은 단순히 응용적 과학이 아니고, 가장 고등한 생물로서의 인간을 대상으로 한 생물과학이며 생명과학의 발전에 크게 기여하였고, 또 하고 있다. |

|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 방사성을 띠는 핵물질을 이용하여 의학에 응용하는 학문. 대개 인체에 큰 해가 없는 방사선물질을 사용하며, 반감기가 짧아 사용후에도 큰 해가 없다. 이런 핵의학적 물질을 이용한 핵의학적 진단의 가장 큰 장점은 생체내에서 일어나는 그 기관의 실제적인 기능을 알아볼 수 있다는 데 있다. 흔히 접하는 X-선을 이용한 진단방법은 단지 그 순간만의 영상을 접하여 실제로 보이는 부위가 얼마나 기능을 수행하는지 알 수 없는 단점이 있으나, 핵의학에서는 실제적인 기능의 정도에 따라 영상이 나오게 되므로 기능판별에 아주 유리하다. 하지만, 정확한 판별력이 있는 영상을 얻기에는 부족하다. 또한 핵의학은 진단외의 치료에도 사용되는데, 예를 들어 갑상샘종양의 경우 여러 곳에 이미 전이가 되어 있을 경우 방사선핵종을 이용하여 다른 곳에 큰 부작용없이 치료가 가능하다. |

| COLD | Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease |
| cold-blooded animal | <biology, zoology> An organism, such as a fish or reptile, that is cold-blooded, i.e., one whose internal body temperature varies with that of the environment. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| cold bone lesions | <radiology> Overlying atenuation caused by pacemaker, barium, metal cross, wristwatch, radiation therapy, local vascular compromise, early osteomyelitis, tumour: neuroblastoma, renal cell carcinoma, thyroid carcinoma, anaplastic tumours (e.g. Reticulum cell sarcoma) (12 Dec 1998) |
| cold cautery | The surgical destruction of tissue via the application of extreme cold, aswith liquid nitrogen. (09 Oct 1997) |
| cold chain | A system of protection against high environmental temperatures for heat-labile vaccines, sera and other biological preparations. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cold, common | A viral upper respiratory tract infection. A contagious illness caused by a number of different types of viruses. Because of the great number of viruses that can cause a cold, the body never builds up resistance (immune) against all of them. For this reason, colds are a frequent and recurring problem. In fact, preschool children average 9 colds a year; those in kindergarten, 12 colds a year; and adolescents and adults, 7 colds per year. Going out into the cold weather has no effect on the spread of a cold. Antibiotics do not help the common cold. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cold compress | <orthopaedics> This may be ice packs wrapped in cloth to deliver a cold compress to an acutely injured muscle, joint or bone. Cold compresses are commonly indicated for most injuries in the first 24-48 hours. They should be applied only intermittently, with periods of time without the compress applied. (27 Sep 1997) |

| cold cone biopsy | <gynaecology, procedure> A procedure which excises a cone of tissue (mucous membrane) off the cervix for purpose of diagnostics and therapeutics (removes precancerous cells). See: cervical dysplasia. (27 Sep 1997) |
| cold cream | A water-in-oil emulsion of various oils, waxes, and water; the standard formula, rose water ointment, contains expressed almond oil, rose water, spermaceti, white paraffin wax, and sodium borate; used as a cleansing or lubricating cream. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cold cure resin | Autopolymerizing resin, any resin that can be polymerised by chemical catalysis rather than by the application of heat; used in dentistry for dental restoration, denture repair, and impression trays. Synonym: activated resin, cold cure resin, cold-curing resin, quick cure resin, self-curing resin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cold erythema | Rash characterised by redness and itching, brought on by exposure to cold. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cold gangrene | A form of gangrene in which the involved part is dry and shriveled. Synonym: cold gangrene, mummification necrosis, mummification. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cold haemagglutinin disease | A condition associated with the presence of haemagglutinating autoantibody active in vivo but in vitro particularly or solely active in the cold; when the concentration of IgM antibody is high there may be increased serum viscosity, but clinical manifestations (due to haemagglutination) usually appear following exposure to cold; haemolysis usually is mild but may be severe, resulting in autoimmune haemolytic anaemia, cold antibody type. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cold haemolysin | An autoantibody of the IgG class responsible for paroxysmal cold haemoglobinuria; it is adsorbed to red cells only at temperatures of 20캜 or lower, causing the red cells to lyse in the presence of complement at higher temperatures; it has only slight agglutinating properties in spite of its marked lytic activity, and has a specificity within the blood group P; it is also occasionally present for short periods of time following measles and other infections, and formerly was frequently associated with syphilis. Synonym: cold haemolysin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cold injury | Cold injuries include chilblains, trench foot, and frostbite. Cold injuries occur with and without freezing of body tissues. The young and the elderly are especially prone to cold injury. Alcohol increases the risk of cold injury which can lead to loss of body parts and even to death. It is important not to thaw an extremity if there is a risk of it re-freezing. (12 Dec 1998) |
