| persistent truncus arteriosus | A congenital cardiovascular deformity resulting from failure of development of the spiral septum and consisting of a common arterial trunk opening out of both ventricles, the pulmonary arteries being given off from the ascending common trunk. (05 Mar 2000) |
| persistent vegetative state | A persistent loss of upper cortical function that may follow acute (e.g., infections, toxins, trauma or vascular) events or chronic (e.g., degenerative) events. The patient is bedridden and nutritional support is completely passive, either parenteral or via nasogastric tube. The patient does not require respiratory support or circulatory assistance for survival and is in a state of chronic wakefulness without awareness which may be accompanied by spontaneous eye opening, grunts or screams, brief smiles, sporadic movement of facial muscles and limbs. While the eyes blink upon stimulation, they do not do so in response to visual threats. Some patients chew or clamp their teeth. Urinary and faecal incontinence is universal. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chronic persistent hepatitis | <pathology> A form of hepatitis usually caused by hepatitis C or B, that consists of mild persistent liver inflammation. Often a mild elevation of the liver enzymes will be seen on liver profile or SMAC 25 assay. Liver biopsy indicates persistent hepatitis. Incidence: 1 in 1,000. (02 Jan 1998) |
| microscopic haematuria | Presence of blood cells in uncatheterised urine, visible only under the microscope. (05 Mar 2000) |
| haematuria | <clinical sign, urology> The finding of blood in the urine. Origin: Gr. Ouron = urine (18 Nov 1997) |
| initial haematuria | The presence of blood only in the first fraction of voided urine, usually indicating a urethral or prostatic source of bleeding. (05 Mar 2000) |
| terminal haematuria | The presence of blood only in the last fraction of voided urine, usually indicating a prostatic source of bleeding. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Egyptian haematuria | Infection with Schistosoma haematobium, the eggs of which invade the urinary tract, causing cystitis and haematuria, and possibly an increased likelihood of bladder cancer. Synonym: bladder schistosomiasis, Egyptian haematuria, endemic haematuria, urinary schistosomiasis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| total haematuria | Uniform mixing of blood in the entire voided urine, commonly indicating an upper or mid-urinary tract source of bleeding. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endemic haematuria | Infection with Schistosoma haematobium, the eggs of which invade the urinary tract, causing cystitis and haematuria, and possibly an increased likelihood of bladder cancer. Synonym: bladder schistosomiasis, Egyptian haematuria, endemic haematuria, urinary schistosomiasis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| enzootic haematuria | A disease of cattle caused by long-term, low-level consumption of the bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum) and characterised by haemorrhages or tumours in the bladder. Synonym: bracken poisoning. (05 Mar 2000) |
| truncus arteriosus, persistent | A congenital anomaly resulting from the failure of the aorticopulmonary system to develop and divide the truncus arteriosus into the aorta and the pulmonary trunk. (12 Dec 1998) |
| false haematuria | A red pigmentation of urine caused by certain foods or drugs, and thus not actually haematuria. Synonym: false haematuria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| urethral haematuria | Haematuria in which the site of bleeding is in the urethra. (05 Mar 2000) |
