| X-strabismus | Strabismus in which exotropia is more marked when looking upward or downward than when looking straight ahead. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| strabismus | <clinical sign> A deviation of the eye which the patient cannot overcome. The visual axes assume a position relative to each other different from that required by the physiological conditions. The various forms of strabismus are spoken of as tropias, their direction being indicated by the appropriate prefix, as cyclo tropia, esotropia, exotropia, hypertropia and hypotropia. Also called cast, heterotropia, manifest deviation and squint. Origin: Gr. Strabismos = a squinting (18 Nov 1997) |
| strabismus deorsum vergens | An obsolete term for vertical strabismus in which the visual axis of one eye deviates downward. (05 Mar 2000) |
| strabismus sursum vergens | An obsolete term for a vertical strabismus in which the visual axis of one eye deviates upward. (05 Mar 2000) |
| divergent strabismus | <clinical sign> The outward or temporal deviation of an eye. (27 Sep 1997) |
| incomitant strabismus | Strabismus due to weakness of an ocular muscle or muscles. Synonym: incomitant strabismus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| internal strabismus | An obsolete term for esotropia (05 Mar 2000) |
| external strabismus | An obsolete term for exotropia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| kinetic strabismus | Strabismus due to spasm of an extraocular muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate | An activator of phosphorylase kinase and an effector of other enzymes, formed in muscle from ATP by adenylate cyclase and broken down to 5'-AMP by a phosphodiesterase; sometimes referred to as the "second messenger." A related compound (2',3') is also known. Synonym: cyclic adenylic acid, cyclic AMP, cyclic phosphate. Acronym: cAMP (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenosine 3',5'-cyclic phosphate phosphodiesterase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic phosphate forming 5'-AMP. A crucial step in the regulation of cellular adenosine 3',5'-cyclic phosphate levels. Inhibited by caffeine. Synonym: cAMP phosphodiesterase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenosine cyclic phosphate | An activator of phosphorylase kinase and an effector of other enzymes, formed in muscle from ATP by adenylate cyclase and broken down to 5'-AMP by a phosphodiesterase; sometimes referred to as the "second messenger." A related compound (2',3') is also known. Synonym: cyclic adenylic acid, cyclic AMP, cyclic phosphate. Acronym: cAMP (05 Mar 2000) |
| amino acids, cyclic | A class of amino acids characterised by a closed ring structure. (12 Dec 1998) |
| canine infectious cyclic thrombocytopenia | An infection of dogs with the rickettsia Ehrlichia platys characterised by recurrent cyclic thrombocytopenia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| receptors, cyclic AMP | Cell surface proteins that bind cyclic AMP with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes which influence the behaviour of cells. The best characterised cyclic AMP receptors are those of the slime mold dictyostelium discoideum. The transcription regulator cyclic AMP receptor protein of prokaryotes is not included nor are the eukaryotic cytoplasmic cyclic AMP receptor proteins which are the regulatory subunits of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases.
