|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 압박으로 인해서 국소피부의 혈액순환이 감소되고 그것으로 인해서 피부조직이 파괴되는 것을 이르는 말이다. 즉 장기간 피부가 압박받아서 압박을 받은 부위의 혈관이 눌려서 혈류가 감소하고, 그 부분에 공급되는 혈류가 적어서 그 부분이 섞어서 피부의 조직이 없어지는 것을 욕창이라고 한다. 욕창의 호발 부위는 주로 압박을 받기가 쉬운 피부 부위로서 주로 뼈가 튀어나와 있어서 그 뼈로 인해서 쉽게 압력을 받기 쉬운 부위로 무릎, 발뒤꿈치, 엉덩이의 뒷면(엉덩이 뒷면에 뼈가 나온 곳) 등이 있다. 일단 발생한 욕창은 그 상처의 깊이에 따라 5단계로 분류한다. 제1단계는 피부의 압력에 의해서 피부에 적색 발적이나 피부가 단단해지는 정도의 변화를 말하고, 제2단계는 피부의 상층부위에 국한된 표층성 궤양이며, 제3단계는 피부 깊숙이 존재하는 피하지방조직까지 욕창이 침범하였으나 피하 지방층아래에 있는 근육층은 보존된 상태이며, 제4단계는 근육층까지 조직의 결손이 있는 경우이며, 제5단계는 광범위한 욕창이 관절이나 장기가 들어있는 몸속의 공간, 즉 체강까지 침범한 경우이다. |

| posttraumatic stress syndrome | <syndrome> A disorder appearing after a physically or psychologically traumatic event outside the range of usual human experience, (e.g., a serious threat to one's life or seeing a loved one killed), characterised by symptoms of re-experiencing the event, numbing of responsiveness to the environment, exaggerated startle response, guilt feelings, impairment of memory, and difficulties in concentration and sleep.

| heat stress disorder | A group of conditions due to overexposure to or overexertion in excess environmental temperature. It includes heat cramps, which are non-emergent and treated by salt replacement; heat exhaustion, which is more serious, treated with fluid and salt replacement; and heatstroke, a condition most commonly affecting extremes of age, especially the elderly, accompanied by convulsions, delusions, or coma and treated with cooling the body and replacement of fluids and salts. (12 Dec 1998) |
| shear stress | The force acting in shear flow expressed per unit area; units in the CGS system: dynes/cm2. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stress | 1. Forcibly exerted influence, pressure. In dentistry, the pressure of the upper teeth against the lower in mastication. 2. The sum of the biological reactions to any adverse stimulus, physical, mental or emotional, internal or external, that tends to disturb the organisms homeostasis, should these compensating reactions be inadequate or inappropriate, they may lead to disorders. The term is also used to refer to the stimuli that elicit the reactions. (18 Nov 1997) |
| stress-bearing area | Surfaces of structures that resist forces, strains, or pressures brought upon them during function. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stress breaker | A device that relieves the abutment teeth, to which a fixed or removable partial denture is attached, of all or part of the forces generated by occlusal function. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stress disorders, posttraumatic | Anxiety disorders manifested by the development of characteristic symptoms following a psychologically traumatic event that is outside the normal range of usual human experience. Symptoms include re-experiencing the traumatic event and numbing of responsiveness to or reduced involvement with the external world. (12 Dec 1998) |
| stress echocardiogram | <investigation> An echocardiogram that is performed after a period of physical exertion. Chemical stimulation of the heart (to mimic exertion) is used in some cases where physical activity is not possible. In some cases, exertion may manifest a cardiac abnormality not obvious during echocardiography in the resting heart. (27 Sep 1997) |
| stress echocardiography | Echocardiographic monitoring of a circulatory challenge, usually exercise. Transesophageal echocardiography, recording of the echocardiogram from a transducer swallowed by the patient to predetermined distances in the oesophagus and stomach. Transthoracic echocardiography, the standard echocardiography recorded from echocardiographic "windows" on the precordium. Two-dimensional echocardiography, echocardiography in which an image is reconstructed from the echoes stimulated and detected by a linear array or moving transducers. Synonym: B-mode echocardiography, cross-sectional echocardiography. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stress fibre | <physiology> Long bundles of microfilaments made up of actin subunits. They are involved in the attachment of cultured cells to a substratum, the determination of cell shape and may be involved in cellular mobility. They are found in most cells and have been shown to be contractile, have a periodicity reminiscent of the sarcomere and are anchored at one end to a focal adhesion, although sometimes between two focal adhesions. (17 Jul 2002) |
| stress fracture | <orthopaedics, radiology> A hairline or microscopic break in the bone that is not demonstrable with conventional X-rays. Symptoms include a dull aching pain with tenderness at the site. Symptoms often increase with activity and diminish with rest. Nuclear bone scanning will reliably demonstrate stress fractures where conventional radiographs often fail. Although they may occur in most any location, they are most common in the tibia, fibula and metatarsal bones. (27 Sep 1997) |
| stress immunity | Insusceptibility or resistance to the effects of emotional strain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stress induced protein | <molecular biology> Alternative and preferable name for heat-shock proteins of eukaryotic cells, which emphasises that the same small group of proteins is stimulated both by heat and various other stresses. (18 Nov 1997) |
| stress, mechanical | A purely physical condition which exists within any material because of strain or deformation by external forces or by non-uniform thermal expansion; expressed quantitatively in units of force per unit area. (12 Dec 1998) |
| stress, psychological | Stress wherein emotional factors predominate. (12 Dec 1998) |
