| septic bursitis. Bypass | An operation in which the surgeon creates a new pathway for the movement of substances in the body. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| septic endocarditis | Acute bacterial endocarditis, usually secondary to suppuration elsewhere and running a fulminating course. Synonym: septic endocarditis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| septic fever | Systemic disease associated with the presence and persistence of pathogenic microorganisms or their toxins in the blood. Synonym: blood poisoning. See: bacteraemia. Origin: Gr. Haima = blood (11 Jan 1998) |
| septic infarct | An area of necrosis resulting from vascular obstruction due to emboli comprised of clumps of bacteria or infected material. (05 Mar 2000) |
| septic intoxication | Systemic disease associated with the presence and persistence of pathogenic microorganisms or their toxins in the blood. Synonym: blood poisoning. See: bacteraemia. Origin: Gr. Haima = blood (11 Jan 1998) |
| septic phlebitis | Inflammation of a vein due to bacterial infection. (05 Mar 2000) |
| septic pneumonia | Any pneumonia associated with the formation of pus and destruction of pulmonary tissue; abscess formation may occur. Synonym: septic pneumonia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| septic retinitis | Purulent or septic retinitis resulting from the arrest of septic emboli in the retinal vessels. Synonym: purulent retinitis, septic retinitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| septic shock | <microbiology> Condition of clinical shock caused by endotoxin in the blood. A serious complication of severe burns and abdominal wounds, frequently fatal. Part of the problem seems to be due to increased leucocyte adhesiveness, which leads to massive sequestration of neutrophils in the lung, increased vascular permeability and acute respiratory distress syndrome. (11 Jan 1998) |
| septic wound | A wound that has become infected. (05 Mar 2000) |
| shock, septic | Shock due to circulatory insufficiency caused most commonly by gram-negative bacteraemia. It is less often the result of the persistent presence of other micro-organisms in the blood (fungaemia, viraemia); in rare instances, it is caused by gram-positive organisms, but with different symptomatology. (12 Dec 1998) |
| accelerator factor | <chemical> Heat- and storage-labile plasma glycoprotein which accelerates the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin in blood coagulation. Factor v accomplishes this by forming a complex with factor xa, phospholipid, and calcium (prothrombinase complex). Deficiency of factor v leads to owren's disease. Chemical name: Blood-coagulation factor V (12 Dec 1998) |
| acetate replacement factor | <biochemistry> 1,2 dithiolane 3 valeric acid. Regarded as a coenzyme in the oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex of the citric acid cycle. Involved generally in oxidative decarboxylations of _ keto acids. A growth factor for some organisms. (18 Nov 1997) |
| adrenal weight factor | A postulated substance of adenohypophysial origin responsible for maintenance of the weight of the adrenal cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenocorticotropic releasing factor | Hormone produced by hypothalamus that causes pituitary to secrete adrenocorticotropic hormone. (05 Mar 2000) |
