| fundus of urinary bladder | The fundus is formed by the posterior wall which is somewhat convex. Synonym: fundus vesicae urinariae, bas-fond, base of bladder. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| arthropathy, neurogenic | Chronic progressive degeneration of the stress-bearing portion of a joint, with bizarre hypertrophic changes at the periphery. It is probably a complication of a variety of neurologic disorders, particularly tabes dorsalis, involving loss of sensation, which leads to relaxation of supporting structures and chronic instability of the joint. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neurogenic | <embryology> Arising from or caused by the nervous system. Origin: Gr. Gennan = to produce (27 Sep 1997) |
| neurogenic atrophy | Abnormalities of the skin, hair, nails, subcutaneous tissues and bone, caused by peripheral nerve lesions. Synonym: neuritic atrophy, neurogenic atrophy, neurotrophic atrophy, trophic changes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neurogenic fracture | A fracture in bone weakened by disease of the nerve supply. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neurogenic gene | Best described in Drosophila, genes that are required to determine a neuronal fate. Examples: Notch, Delta. (18 Nov 1997) |
| neurogenic shock | <neurology> This form of distributive shock results from a change in systemic vascular resistance, mediated by a neurologic injury (for example, head injury, spinal cord injury). Synonym: spinal shock. (27 Sep 1997) |
| neurogenic tonus | Contraction of a muscle caused by the influence of its extrinsic nerve supply (05 Mar 2000) |
| disputed neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome | <syndrome> A highly controversial disorder in which the brachial plexus is reputedly repressed at one or more sites along its course, particularly within the interscalene triangle, and between the normal first thoracic rib and some other structures; frequently attributed to trauma (particularly automobile accidents, and most often diagnosed in young to middle-aged women; no characteristic clinical presentation, although forequarter pain is characteristic; no definite objective findings are present, and no undisputed ancillary diagnostic studies are available. (05 Mar 2000) |
| true neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome | <syndrome> Very chronic axon loss brachial plexopathy, caused by compromise of the lower trunk fibres by a congenital band extending from a rudimentary cervical rib to the first thoracic rib; rare disorder, found mostly in young to middle-aged women, that presents with unilateral hand wasting and weakness, particularly involving the lateral thenar eminence; sometimes accompanied by intermittent discomfort along the medial forearm and hand. Synonym: cervical rib and band syndrome, classic cervical rib syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antibody-coated bacteria test, urinary | Fluorescent antibody technique for visualizing antibody-bacteria complexes in urine. The presence or absence of antibody-coated bacteria in urine correlates with localization of urinary tract infection in the kidney or bladder, respectively. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anti-infective agents, urinary | Substances capable of killing agents causing urinary tract infections or of preventing them from spreading. (12 Dec 1998) |
| blood, urinary | Medically called haematuria, blood in the urine can be microscopic or gross. Evaluating haematuria requires consideration of the entire urinary tract. Tests used for the diagnosis of haematuria include the intravenous pyelogram (IVP), cystoscopy, and urine cytology. Management of haematuria depends upon the underlying cause. (12 Dec 1998) |
| reproductive and urinary physiology | Physiology of the human and animal body, male or female, in the reproductive process and the physiology of the urinary tract. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pregnancy danger from urinary tract infection | A pregnant woman who develops a uti should be treated promptly to avoid premature delivery of her baby and other risks such as high blood pressure. Some antibiotics are not safe to take during pregnancy. In selecting the best treatment, doctors consider various factors such as the drug's effectiveness, the stage of pregnancy, the mother's health, and potential effects on the foetus. (12 Dec 1998) |
