| Aquaspirillum | A genus of motile, nonsporeforming, aerobic bacteria (family Spirillaceae) containing Gram-negative, rigid, helical or helically curved cells which are 0.2 to 1.5 um in diameter. Motile cells contain fascicles of flagella at one or both poles. Some species can grow anaerobically with nitrate instead of oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor. These organisms are chemoorganotrophic, possessing a strictly respiratory metabolism. They do not ferment carbohydrates; a few species can oxidise a limited variety of carbohydrates. The habitat of these organisms is fresh water. The type species is Aquaspirillum serpens. Origin: L. Aqua, water, + spirillum, coil (05 Mar 2000) |

| aqueduct of sylvius | A canal between two of the cavities (called the third and fourth ventricles) in the brain through which cerebrospinal fluid passes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| aqueduct veil | A membrane obstructing the sylvian aqueduct, causing a noncommunicating hydrocephalus. (05 Mar 2000) |

| aqueductal stenosis | <radiology> most common cause of congenital hydrocephalus (43%), aqueduct develops about the 6th week of gestation, M:F = 2:1, other congenital anomalies (16%): thumb deformities, prognosis: 11-30% mortality aetiology: infectious (50%): toxoplasmosis, CMV, syphillis, mumps, influenza, developmental: forking, narrowing, transverse septum (X-linked recessive), neoplastic (extremely rare): glioma, pinealoma, meningioma (12 Dec 1998) |

| aquagenic pruritus |
pruritus and other skin sensations, such as burning, lasting for 30 minutes to two hours, after contact with water, without the overt skin changes seen in aquagenic urticaria. The etiology is usually unknown, although it is sometimes seen accompanying polycythemia vera and in other cases it may be familial. A similar condition is seen in elderly women but lasts only 10 to 20 minutes and is relieved by emollients.
