|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 대뇌의 표면부위를 대뇌겉질이라고도 한다. 대개 얕은회색질(superficial gray matter)와 동의어로 쓰인다. 회색질이란 대뇌의 표면에 신경세포가 모여있는 곳으로 회색을 띠는 부분을 말한다. 이와는 대조적으로 백색질이란 신경세포가 내는 신경섬유가 분포하는 곳이며 대뇌에서 회색질의 안쪽에 존재한다. 참고로 말하면 척수에서는 대뇌와 반대로 회색질 안쪽에 존재하고 백색질이 밖에 존재한다. 즉 척수에서는 신경세포가 척수의 안쪽에 존재하고 바깥쪽에 그 신경세포가 내는 신경섬유가 존재한다. |

| marantic oedema | Oedema occurring in diseases characterised by wasting and hypoproteinaemia; due to low plasma oncotic pressure. Synonym: marantic oedema. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| gestational oedema | Occurrence of a generalised and excessive accumulation of fluid in the tissues of greater than 1+ pitting after 12 hours' bed rest, or of a weight gain of 5 pounds or more in 1 week due to the influence of pregnancy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reverse pulmonary oedema pattern | <radiology> Loeffler pneumonia, chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (12 Dec 1998) |
| menstrual oedema | Retention of water and increase in weight, which occurs during or preceding menstruation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| periodic oedema | A vascular reaction involving the deep dermis or subcutaneous or submucal tissues, representing localised oedema caused by dilatation and increased permeability of the capillaries and characterised by development of giant wheals. (18 Nov 1997) |
| pitting oedema | Oedema that retains for a time the indentation produced by pressure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| corneal oedema | An excessive amount of fluid in the cornea due to damage of the epithelium or endothelium causing decreased visual acuity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| premenstrual oedema | Retention of water and increase in weight, which occurs during or preceding menstruation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cystoid macular oedema | Oedema of the posterior pole of the eye secondary to abnormal permeability of capillaries of the central sensory retina. (05 Mar 2000) |
| heat oedema | Oedema caused by excessively high external temperature. (05 Mar 2000) |
| salt oedema | Oedema from excessive intake or retention of sodium chloride. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hereditary angioneurotic oedema | A genetic form of angioedema. (angioedema is also referred to as quinke's disease.) persons with it are born lacking an inhibitor protein (called c1 esterase inhibitor) that normally prevents activation of a cascade of proteins leading to the swelling of angioedema. Patients can develop recurrent attacks of swollen tissues, pain in the abdomen, and swelling of the voice box (larynx) which can compromise breathing. The diagnosis is suspected with a history of recurrent angioedema. It is confirmed by finding abnormally low levels of c1 esterase inhibitor in the blood. Treatment options include antihistamines and male steroids (androgens) that can also prevent the recurrent attacks. Also called hereditary angioedema. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hereditary angio oedema | <biochemistry> Condition in which there seems to be uncontrolled production of C2 kinin because of a deficiency in C1 inhibitor levels. (18 Nov 1997) |
| high altitude pulmonary oedema | <physiology> The abnormal deposition of fluid into the lungs that occurs with exposure to lower barometric pressure and low oxygen. (12 Jan 1998) |
| pulmonary oedema | <cardiology> A severe state of increased interstitial fluid within the lung that leads to flooding of the alveoli with fluid. This results in a severe disturbance of gas exchange across the alveolar surface. Often results from the ineffective pump function of the heart (noncardiac causes also exist). (27 Sep 1997) |
