| 설명 | 귀가 들리는 정도를 측정하는 검사. 청각검사라고도 한다. 소리나 목소리가 잘 들리는지의 여부 등 청각의 예민한 정도를 측정하는 일이다. 검사에는 청력계나 소리굽쇠 등의 기구에 의해서 얻는 음원, 즉 순음을 사용하며, 사람의 목소리나 시계소리 등도 음원으로 사용된다. 또 음파가 전파되는 매질에 따라 기도 청력검사와 골도 청력검사로 구별되기도 한다. 검사의 내용으로는 청각의 상하음계나 최소 가청문턱값의 검사를 비롯하여, 충분히 들리는 소리를 사용하여 그것이 들리는 상태를 조사하는 문턱값검사(소리의 크기와 상태의 검사, 세기의 판별역검사 등) 외에 음향자극의 반응으로부터 타각적으로 조사하는 방법도 있으며, 이것은 주로 갓난아기나 정신병환자에 대하여 사용된다. 주로 청력계가 사용되고, 청력은 데시벨(dB)로 표시된다. 정상인은 0dB이고, 난청자일수록 그 수가 커지며, 60dB이상은 상당히 난청이고, 80dB 이상이면 귀머거리이다. |

| drug screening | Preclinical testing of drugs in experimental animals or in vitro for their biological and toxic effects and potential clinical applications. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| drug screening assays, antitumour | Methods of investigating the effectiveness of anticancer cytotoxic drugs and biologic inhibitors. These include in vitro cell-kill models and cytostatic dye exclusion tests as well as in vivo measurement of tumour growth parameters in laboratory animals. (12 Dec 1998) |
| familial screening | Screening directed at close relatives of probands with diseases that may lie latent, as in age-dependent dominant traits, or that may involve risk to progeny, as X-linked traits. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ABO haemolytic disease of the newborn | Erythroblastosis foetalis due to maternal-foetal incompatibility with respect to an antigen of the ABO blood group; the foetus possesses A or B antigen which is lacking in the mother, and the mother produces immune antibody which causes haemolysis of foetal erythrocytes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bullous impetigo of newborn | Usually, widely disseminated bullous lesions appearing soon after birth, caused by infection with Staphylococcus aureus. Synonym: impetigo neonatorum, pemphigus gangrenosus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| respiratory distress syndrome 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) |
| pleural effusion in newborn | <radiology> Chylothorax most common cause of large effusion, erythroblastosis foetalis, Turner syndrome, congestive heart failure, infantile polycystic kidneys, wet-lung disease, hypervolaemia (idiopathic or iatrogenic), oesophageal tear, enteric cyst, obstructed pulmonary veins (12 Dec 1998) |
| congenital epulis of newborn | A congenital benign nodular tumour of the alveolar ridge, of unknown histogenesis; histologically, it is composed of large cells with a granular cytoplasm similar to that of a granular cell tumour (myoblastoma). (05 Mar 2000) |
| postnatal pit of the newborn | It marks the site where the embryonic spinal cord attaches to the skin. Synonym: postnatal pit of the newborn. (05 Mar 2000) |
| haemolytic anaemia of newborn | <haematology> A condition which develops in the foetus due to an incompatibility between the mother's blood type (RH factor) and the baby's. Maternal antibodies, which enter the foetal circulation during delivery attack the baby's red blood cells leading to haemolysis (rupture of the cells). Symptoms include an infant with an enlarged liver and spleen, swelling, jaundice and anaemia. (27 Sep 1997) |

| haemolytic disease of the newborn | Abnormal breakup of red blood cells in the foetus or newborn. This is usually due to antibodies made by the mother directed against the baby's red cells. It is typically caused by rh incompatibility, that is differences between the mother and baby uinvolving the rh blood group. (12 Dec 1998) |
| haemorrhagic disease of newborn | A self-limited haemorrhagic disorder of the first days of life, caused by a deficiency of the vitamin k-dependent blood coagulation factors II, vii, ix, and x. (12 Dec 1998) |
| haemorrhagic disease of the newborn | A syndrome characterised by spontaneous internal or external bleeding accompanied by hypoprothrombinaemia, slightly decreased platelets, and markedly elevated bleeding and clotting times, usually occurring between the third and sixth days of life and effectively treated with vitamin K. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
