| 영문 | osmotic pressure | 한글 | 삼투압 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 삼투라는 현상은 일정 크기 이하의 물질은 통과시키고 그 이상의 크기를 가진 물질은 통과 시키지 못하게 하는 막(반투막)을 사이에 두고 양쪽에 그 막을 투과하지 못하는 물질의 농도가 차이가 날 때 발생하는 것으로 막을 통과할 수 있는 물질이 막 양쪽의 통과 할 수 없는 물질의 농도를 같게 하는 방향으로 움직이는 것을 말한다. |

| 영문 | systolic pressure | 한글 | 수축기압 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 심활동력, 동맥벽의 탄력성, 혈액량, 혈액의 점성 등에 의하여 결정되는 혈액의 동맥벽에 미치는 압력으로서, 최고혈압은 왼심실로부터 박출이 끝나기 직전에 생기는 압을 말하고 최대 혈압 또는 수축기혈압이라 부른다. 최소혈압은 왼심실의 확장이 끝나는 시기에 생기는 혈압을 말하며 최소혈압 또는 확장기혈압이라고 부른다. 평균혈압은 동맥내압의 평균치를 말하며, 기초혈압은 절대안정 상태에서 측정한 혈압을 말한다. |

| 영문 | fasting blood sugar | 한글 | 공복혈당, 빈속혈당 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 혈액속에 포함되어 있는 포도당. 뇌와 적혈구의 에너지원이 되고, 그 양은 운동, 식사 따위에 의하여 달라진다. 건강인의 아침 공복시 혈중 포도당 농도는 60~100mg/dL이지만 기타의 당질 즉 과당, 갈락토스, 5탄당은 미량이며 일반적으로 혈당일 하면 혈중포도당을 의미한다. 혈당은 생체의 에너지원으로서 가장 중요한 물질이다. 그 농도는 창자관으로부터의 흡수, 간에 있어서의 당신생과 글리코겐의 합성-분해, 말초조직의 당이용, 콩팥으로부터의 배설 등 여러 인자에의해 좌우되며 그 조절에는 자율신경과 각종 호르몬이 밀접하게 관계한다. 특히 혈당저하작용에는 인슐린이, 그리고 혈당상승작용에는 에피네프린, 글루카곤, 성장호르몬, 부신겉질호르몬, 부신겉질자극호르몬, 갑상샘 호르몬이 관계가 있으며 그것들의 대항 및 협조 작용에 의해 혈당치가 조절된다. |

| 영문 | white blood cell(WBC), leukocyte | 한글 | 백혈구 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 혈액내에 골수구계세포와 림프계세포, 단핵구계세포를 모두 통틀어 말한다. 백혈구의 증가가 있으면 대개 감염이 있거나, 혹은 탈수현상이 있음을 의미한다. 또한 지나친 백혈구수의 감소는 인체내 면역기능이 떨어져 있음을 의미하며, 다른 질병에 의해 나타나는 이차적인 현상이 아닌지 꼭 진단을 받아보아야 한다. |

| 영문 | whole blood | 한글 | 전혈, 온혈액 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 혈액의 모든 성분이 하나도 제거되지 않은 온전한 혈액. 전혈은 엄격한 무균조건하에서, 선별한 공혈자로부터 채취한 것이며, 구연산 이온이나 헤파린 같은 항응공제로 응고를 방지하여 혈액보충 목적으로 사용한다. |

| ambulatory automatism | A person's automatic performance of an action or series of actions without being consciously aware of the processes involved in the performance. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| ambulatory care | Medical care (including diagnosis, observation, treatment and rehabilitation) provided on an outpatient basis. Ambulatory care is given to persons who are not confined to a hospital but rather are ambulatory and, literally, are able to ambulate or walk about. (A well-baby visit is considered ambulatory care even though the baby is not walking). (12 Dec 1998) |
| ambulatory care facilities | Those facilities which administer health services to individuals who do not require hospitalization or institutionalization. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ambulatory care information systems | Information systems, usually computer-assisted, designed to store, manipulate, and retrieve information for planning, organizing, directing, and controlling administrative activities associated with the provision and utilization of ambulatory care services and facilities. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ambulatory electrocardiography | <investigation> An investigation, during which prolonged electrocardiographic recordings are made on a portable tape recorder (holter-type system) or solid-state device, while the patient undertakes normal daily activities. It measures the heart rhythm (ECG) over a 24 hour period while the patient records their symptoms and activities in a diary. After the test is complete, a correlation is made between the symptoms or activities recorded and the ECG pattern that was obtained simultaneously. It is useful in the diagnosis and management of intermittent cardiac arrhythmias and transient myocardial ischemia. (21 Jun 2000) |
| ambulatory plague | <infectious disease> A mild form of bubonic plague characterised by symptoms such as mild fever and lymphadenitis. Synonym: larval plague, parapestis, pestis ambulans, pestis minor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ambulatory schizophrenia | <psychiatry> A milder form of schizophrenia in which the patient is capable of maintaining himself or herself in society and need not be hospitalised. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ambulatory surgery | <surgery> Operative procedures performed on patients who are admitted to and discharged from a hospital on the same day. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ambulatory typhoid | walking typhoid |
| care, ambulatory | Medical care (including diagnosis, observation, treatment and rehabilitation) provided on an outpatient basis. Ambulatory care is given to persons who are not confined to a hospital but who are ambulatory and literally able to ambulate, to walk about.

| peritoneal dialysis, continuous ambulatory | Portable peritoneal dialysis using the continuous (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) presence of peritoneal dialysis solution in the peritoneal cavity except for periods of drainage and instillation of fresh solution. (12 Dec 1998) |
| continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis | Method of peritoneal dialysis performed in ambulatory patients with influx and efflux of dialysate during normal activities. (05 Mar 2000) |
| biological monitoring | This is the periodic examination of biological specimens for the purposes of monitoring their exposure to or the effects of potentially toxic chemicals to the environment. This is normally done by analysing the amounts of the toxic substances or their metabolites present in body tissues and fluids. The term is also used to mean assessment of the biological status of populations and communities of organisms at risk, in order to protect them and to gain an early warning of possible hazards to human health. (09 Oct 1997) |
| radiation monitoring | The observation, either continuously or at intervals, of the levels of radiation in a given area, generally for the purpose of assuring that they have not exceeded prescribed amounts or, in case of radiation already present in the area, assuring that the levels have returned to those meeting acceptable safety standards. (12 Dec 1998) |
| monitoring | <investigation> The process of continually checking, observing, recording or testing the operation of some procedure. Monitoring occurs for example during anaesthesia or radiation. (18 Nov 1997) |
