| heart attack | This refers to that damage that occurs to the heart when one of the coronary arteries becomes occluded. Common symptoms include crushing, substernal chest pain that may radiate to the jaw or the left arm, accompanied by nausea, sweating and shortness of breath. Fainting is a more uncommon presentation.

| salaam attack | In infants, a drop of the head on the chest due to loss of tone in the neck muscles as in epilepsia nutans, or to tonic spasm of anterior neck muscles as in West's syndrome, in adults, a nodding of the head from clonic spasm's of the sternomastoid muscles. Synonym: salaam attack, salaam spasm, spasmus nutans. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transient ischaemic attack | A transient ischaemic attack is a temporary paralysis, numbness, speech difficulty or other neurologic symptoms that start suddenly and recovers within 24 hours (typically resolve over several hours). See: neurologic symptoms, stroke. Acronym: TIA (26 Mar 1998) |
| transient ischemic attack | A sudden focal loss of neurological function with complete recovery usually within 24 hours; caused by a brief period of inadequate perfusion in a portion of the territory of the carotid or vertebral basilar arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| uncinate attack | A form of psychomotor epilepsy or complex partial seizure initiated by a dreamy state and hallucinations of smell and taste, usually the result of a medial temporal lesion. Synonym: uncinate attack. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Cheyne-Stokes psychosis | A mental state characterised by anxiety and restlessness, accompanying Cheyne-Stokes respiration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cheyne-stokes respiration | A pattern of breathing with a gradual increase in the depth of respiration to a maximum, followed by a progressive decrease in the depth of respiration resulting in apnoea, characteristically seen in coma associated with severe neurological insult. (27 Sep 1997) |
| Gritti-Stokes amputation | Supracondylar amputation of the femur, the patella being preserved and applied to the end of the bone, its articular cartilage being removed so as to obtain union. Synonym: Gritti's operation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Stokes amputation | A modification of the Gritti-Stokes amputation in that the line of section of the femur is slightly higher. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Stokes' law | A muscle lying above an inflamed mucous or serous membrane is frequently the seat of paralysis, a relationship of the rate of fall of a small sphere in a viscous fluid; applicable to centrifugation of macromolecules, the wavelength of light emitted by a fluorescent material is longer than that of the radiation used to excite the fluorescence.
