| ichthyosis simplex | most common form of ichthyosis characterised by prominent scaling especially on the exterior surfaces of the extremities. It is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ichthyosis spinosa | A genodermatosis characterised by diffuse chronic erythema and scale formation which may be separated into bullous and nonbullous forms. Synonym: ichthyosiform erythroderma, ichthyosis spinosa, keratoma malignum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ichthyosis uteri | Transformation of the columnar epithelium of the endometrium into stratified squamous epithelium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ichthyosis vulgaris | most common form of ichthyosis characterised by prominent scaling especially on the exterior surfaces of the extremities. It is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ichthyosis, x-linked | Chronic form of ichthyosis that is inherited as a sex-linked recessive trait carried on the x-chromosome and transmitted to the male offspring. It is characterised by severe scaling, especially on the extremities, and is associated with steroid sulfatase deficiency. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lamellar ichthyosis | A dry form of congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma, an autosomal recessive trait present at birth; characterised by large, coarse scales over most of the body with thickened palms and soles, and associated with ectropion; histologically, there is hyperkeratosis, a prominent granular layer in the epidermis, slight acanthosis, many mitotic figures, and normal or reduced epidermal cell turnover. See: collodion baby, harlequin foetus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acquired | In medicine, the word acquired means new or added. New in the sense that it is not genetic (inherited) and added in the sense that is was not congenital (present at birth) but came along later. For example, AIDS is an acquired, not a genetic form of immune deficiency. (12 Dec 1998) |
| acquired agammaglobulinaemia | Heterogeneous group of immunodeficiency syndromes characterised by hypogammaglobulinaemia of most isotypes, variable B-cell defects, and the presence of recurrent bacterial infections. (12 Dec 1998) |
| acquired bronchiectasis | <chest medicine> Persistent and progressive dilation of bronchi or bronchioles as a consequence of inflammatory disease (lung infections), obstruction (tumour) or congenital abnormality (for example cystic fibrosis). Symptoms include fetid breath and paroxysmal coughing, with the expectoration of mucopurulent matter. It may affect the bronchioles uniformly (cylindric bronchiectasis) or occur in irregular pockets (sacculated bronchiectasis) or the dilated bronchi may have terminal bulbous enlargements (fusiform bronchiectasis). Although rarely congenital, it is most often an acquired condition in childhood. (13 Nov 1997) |
| acquired centric relation | See: centric jaw relation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acquired character | A character developed in a plant or animal as a result of environmental influences during the individual's life. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acquired cuticle | A thin film (about 1 um), derived mainly from salivary glycoproteins, which forms over the surface of a cleansed tooth crown when it is exposed to the saliva. Synonym: acquired cuticle, acquired enamel cuticle, brown pellicle, posteruption cuticle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acquired drives | Those drives not directly related to biological needs; a secondary drive can be learned as an offshoot of a primary drive, in which case it is often referred to as a motive. Synonym: acquired drives. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acquired eccentric relation | An eccentric relation that is assumed by habit in order to bring the teeth into occlusion. (05 Mar 2000) |
