| alcoholic cirrhosis | <gastroenterology> Alcoholic cirrhosis is a condition of irreversible liver disease due to the chronic inflammatory and toxic effects of ethanol on the liver. In cirrhosis, the liver cells are replaced by fibrous scar tissue. Fibrosis leads to the development of portal hypertension. The development of cirrhosis is directly related to the duration and quantity of alcohol consumption. The manifestations of cirrhosis are related to the liver's inability to not adequately remove waste products from the bloodstream and the effects of portal hypertension. (15 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| alcoholic deterioration | Dementia occurring in persons chronically addicted to alcohol. See: chronic alcoholism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alcoholic encephalopathy | <neurology> Encephalopathy associated with thiamin deficiency. Usually associated with chronic alcohol abuse. Other features include loss of memory and confabulation. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (27 Sep 1997) |
| alcoholic extract | A solid extract obtained by extracting the alcohol-soluble principles of a drug, followed by the evaporation of the alcohol. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alcoholic fermentation | The anaerobic formation of ethanol and CO2 from d-glucose. Compare: Gay-Lussac's equation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alcoholic hyalin | Large, poorly defined accumulations of eosinophilic material in the cytoplasm of damaged hepatic cells in certain forms of cirrhosis and marked fatty change especially due to alcoholism. Synonym: alcoholic hyalin, alcoholic hyaline bodies. (05 Mar 2000) |

| alcoholic intoxication | A condition caused by the ingestion of alcohol in which control of one's faculties is impaired and inhibitions are broken. In its later stages one tends toward or reaches insensibility. (webster, 3d ed) (12 Dec 1998) |
| alcoholic ketoacidosis | <biochemistry> A form of ketoacidosis that results from the overuse of alcohol. A metabolic derangement that occurs when their is an over abundance of ketone bodies (acetone) in the bloodstream. Conditions that encourage the body to begin metabolising fats result in a buildup of ketones in the bloodstream with resultant acidosis (acidifying the blood). (27 Sep 1997) |

In cirrhosis, the liver cells are replaced by fibrous scar tissue. Fibrosis leads to the development of portal hypertension.

| alcoholic myocardiopathy | <cardiology, pathology> A weakness of the cardiac muscle which is seen in some chronic alcoholics, may be related to a thiamin deficiency or occur for unknown reasons. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (27 Sep 1997) |
| alcoholic pneumonia | Pneumonia occurring in patient with alcoholism, usually after a period of intoxication with stupor, resulting in aspiration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alcoholic polyneuropathy | <neurology> A disorder that occurs secondary to the damage to nerve cells from habitual alcohol abuse. The effects of alcoholic polyneuropathy may be due in part to the direct toxic effect alcohol has on nervous tissue in combination with specific nutritional deficiencies (for example B1 or thiamin deficiency and B12 deficiency). Common symptoms include sensory changes, numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, muscle cramps, heat intolerance, impotence, difficulty urinating, swallowing difficulty, speech impairment, diarrhoea and constipation. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (27 Sep 1997) |
| alcoholic psychoses | Mental disorders that result from alcoholism and that involve organic brain damage, as in delirium tremens and Korsakoff's syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
