| 설명 | 인간을 질병으로부터 구하고 건강법을 모색하는 학문. 의학은 인류의 역사와 더불어 경험의료로서 존재해 왔으며, 일반과학이 진보함에 따라서 독자성을 지닌 과학으로 발전하여 인체에 관한 연구와 질병의 예방 및 치료를 연구하는 학문이라고 정의된다. 의학은 질병에 관해서 연구하고, 그 예방이나 진단-치료 및 건강의 유지와 증진을 목적으로 하는 학문이다. 역사적으로 병을 고치는 것, 즉 기술적 또는 응용적 측면이라고 할 수 있는 의료가 먼저 발달하고 중요시되어 왔으며, 그런 점에서 임상의학이 먼저 발달하였고, 기초의학과 예방의학이 발전하게 되었다. 의학은 단순히 응용적 과학이 아니고, 가장 고등한 생물로서의 인간을 대상으로 한 생물과학이며 생명과학의 발전에 크게 기여하였고, 또 하고 있다. |

|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 방사성을 띠는 핵물질을 이용하여 의학에 응용하는 학문. 대개 인체에 큰 해가 없는 방사선물질을 사용하며, 반감기가 짧아 사용후에도 큰 해가 없다. 이런 핵의학적 물질을 이용한 핵의학적 진단의 가장 큰 장점은 생체내에서 일어나는 그 기관의 실제적인 기능을 알아볼 수 있다는 데 있다. 흔히 접하는 X-선을 이용한 진단방법은 단지 그 순간만의 영상을 접하여 실제로 보이는 부위가 얼마나 기능을 수행하는지 알 수 없는 단점이 있으나, 핵의학에서는 실제적인 기능의 정도에 따라 영상이 나오게 되므로 기능판별에 아주 유리하다. 하지만, 정확한 판별력이 있는 영상을 얻기에는 부족하다. 또한 핵의학은 진단외의 치료에도 사용되는데, 예를 들어 갑상샘종양의 경우 여러 곳에 이미 전이가 되어 있을 경우 방사선핵종을 이용하여 다른 곳에 큰 부작용없이 치료가 가능하다. |

| 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) |
| stress reaction | An acute emotional reaction related to extreme environmental stress. Synonym: acute situational reaction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stress riser | A mechanical defect, such as a hole, in bone or other materials that concentrates stress in the area. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stress shielding | Osteopenia occurring in bone as the result of removal of normal stress from the bone by an implant. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stress-strain curve | A curve showing the ratio of deformation to load during the testing of a material in tension. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stress test | Any cardiac challenge, physical, pharmacologic, or mental delivered under monitored conditions. Most commonly this is exercise, the most common monitor being electrocardiography although any other graphic technique, including cardiac catheterization, may be applied. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stress ulcers | An ulcer of the duodenum in a patient with extensive superficial burns, intracranial lesions, or severe bodily injury. Synonym: stress ulcers. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stress urinary incontinence | Leakage of urine as a result of coughing, straining, or some sudden voluntary movement, due to weakness of the fascia muscles and at the neck of the bladder. Synonym: urinary exertional incontinence. (05 Mar 2000) |
