| diabetic myelopathy | <pathology> Degenerative changes in spinal cord tissue occurring as a complication of diabetes mellitus Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (27 Sep 1997) |
|---|---|
| diabetic nephropathies | Includes renal arteriosclerosis, renal arteriolosclerosis, kimmelstiel-wilson syndrome (intercapillary glomerulosclerosis), acute and chronic pyelonephritis, and kidney papillary necrosis in individuals with diabetes mellitus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| diabetic nephropathy | <nephrology, pathology> Kidney disease and resultant kidney function impairment due to the long standing effects of diabetes on the microvasculature (glomerulus) of the kidney. Features include increased urine protein and declining kidney function. Severe diabetic nephropathy can lead to kidney failure and end-stage renal disease. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (27 Sep 1997) |
| diabetic neuropathy | <neurology, pathology> Long standing or poorly controlled diabetes can cause permanent peripheral and autonomic nerve dysfunction known as diabetic neuropathy. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (27 Sep 1997) |
| diabetic patient | Diabetes mellitus is a disorder that is caused by the insufficient production of the pancreatic hormone insulin. Without insulin cells are unable to absorb glucose, necessary for cellular metabolism and energy production. Patients may have type I diabetes (juvenile onset) or type II diabetes (adult onset). Individuals with either condition are considered to be diabetic. (27 Sep 1997) |
| diabetic polyneuropathy | A distal, symmetrical, generally sensorimotor polyneuropathy that is a frequent complication of diabetes mellitus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diabetic puncture | A puncture at a point in the floor of the fourth ventricle of the brain which causes glycosuria. Synonym: Bernard's puncture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diabetic retinitis | See: diabetic retinopathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diabetic retinopathy | <ophthalmology, pathology> A major cause of blindness in diabetics. Retinal disease results from adverse effects on the blood vessels which supply the retina. Swollen retinal vessels which leak fluid into the retina are commonly seen on physical examination of the eyes. Poorly controlled insulin dependent diabetes and/or hypertension are the major risk factors. Symptoms include decreased vision and colour perception. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (27 Sep 1997) |
| arteriosclerotic gangrene | Dry gangrene resulting from sclerotic changes in the arteries, with subsequent occlusion, as in the aged. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bivalent gas gangrene antitoxin | Antitoxin specific for the toxins of Clostridium perfringens and C. Septicum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gangrene | <pathology> Death of tissue, usually in considerable mass and generally associated with loss of vascular (nutritive) supply and followed by bacterial invasion and putrefaction. Compare: necrosis. Origin: L. Gangraena, Gr. Gangraina = an eating sore (18 Nov 1997) |
| gas gangrene | <microbiology> A severe form of gangrene (tissue necrosis) caused by Clostridium infection. Also referred to as necrotising subcutaneous infection. Results in death of the subcutaneous tissues and muscle layers. See: necrotising fascitis. (27 Sep 1997) |
| gas gangrene antitoxin | Antitoxin specific for the toxin of one or more species of Clostridium that cause gaseous gangrene and associated toxaemia, especially C. Perfringens C. Novyi, C. Histolyticum, and commercially available preparations are usually polyvalent, i.e., contain antitoxin for two or more species. Synonym: pentavalent gas gangrene antitoxin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| venous gangrene | Moist gangrene due to obstruction in the return circulation. Synonym: venous gangrene. (05 Mar 2000) |
