| 영문 | Mantoux test | 한글 | 망토우검사 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 소아에 주로 실시하는 검사 방법으로, BCG접종후에나 혹은 결핵균에 한번이라도 노출된 경우에 양성반응으로 나온다. 우리나라에서는 생후 1개월에 BCG예방접종을 시행하므로 대부분 양성으로 나오게 되나, 이 예방접종을 받지 않은 상태에서 양성으로 나오면, 결핵균의 침투를 의심할 수 있다. |

|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 협심증이 일어나기 쉬운 환자에게서 그 정도를 판단하기위해 시행한다. 방법은 같은 곳에서 환자를 달리도록 한 다음, 얼마의 속도에서 혈압이 떨어지고 협심증 증상이 나타나는가를 검사한다. 대개 심할수록 낮은 속도에서도 증상이 빨리 나타난다. |

| 영문 | visual field test | 한글 | 시야검사 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 눈을 한곳에 고정시킨 채, 관찰할 수 있는 주변공간을 시야라 한다. 시야를 검사하는 가장 간단한 방법은 대면검사(confronting test)이다. 이것은 피검사자의 눈을 검사자의 눈에 맞추어 보도록 하여 눈을 고정시킨채, 검사자가 손가락끝을 위쪽, 아래쪽, 왼쪽, 오른쪽, 그리고 비스듬히 경사진 곳 등으로 옮겨보아 피검사자가 관찰할 수 있는지 여부를 정하는 검사법이다. 이보다 정확한 검사법은 자동식 컴퓨터시야검사법이 있다. 대개, 눈자체의 이상이 있어도 시야검사에서 이상이 나오지만, 이외 뇌의 이상으로 시각의 형성경로에 이상이 있어도 역시 이상소견을 보인다. |

|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 인물화 성격검사는 처음에는 지능검사로 개발되었고, 그 후에는 사람의 무의식의 요소를 검사하는 방법으로 발전하였다. 검사재료는 지우개가 있는 연필과 백지를 피검자에게 주고, 사람을 그려보라는 지시를 하며, 검사자는 그리는 순서와 평가를 기록하고, 다 그린 후에는 먼저와 다른 이성을 그리도록 한다. 이 검사에서의 신체의 모양은 곧 자아상을 반영한다는 입장, 그림에서 강조된 기관은 의사소통수단, 관념화, 욕구체계, 성적 능력, 갈등, 좌절경험, 성장력 등을 반영한다고 한다. 이것은 아동과 성인에게 개별적 또는 집단적으로 실시할 수 있고, 간편하면서도 유익한 것이다. 임상적으로는 뇌의 기질적 변화를 알아내기 위한 목적으로도 많이 이용된다. |

| 영문 | intelligence test | 한글 | 지능검사 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 1905년 프랑스의 비네가 정신박약아를 일반아동으로부터 판별하기 위하여 작성한 것이 지능검사의 시작이다. 지능검사는 그의 목적으로부터 일반적 지능검사와 진단용 지능검사로 나눠지고, 실시방법에서 개인용(개별식)과 집단용(단체식)으로 분류되고 또 문제의 내용으로부터 언어성검사(A식 또는 α식)와 비언어성검사(B식 β식)로 나눠진다. 지능검사의 결과의 표시법은 정신연령(mental age, MA), 지능지수(intelligence quotient, IQ), 지능편차치(intelligence standard score, ISS)등이 있다. 지능검사에는 역사적으로 비네식과 육군식의 두 계통이 있다. 비네식은 검사자가 개별적으로 한 개 문항씩 질문을 하면 이에 대하여 피검사자가 말이나 행동으로 응답하는 방법(개별식-문답식)이고, 육군식은 일반적인 방식으로는 인쇄된 문제용지를 사용하여 피검사자가 소정의 시간 내에 되도록 많이 바르게(시간제한법) 회답을 기입한다(필기법). 한국 최초의 지능검사는 1954년 서울대학교 사범대학 교육심리연구실에서 제작한 간편 지능검사이다. 간편 지능검사 이후 다수의 집단 지능검사가 출현하였는데 비교적 최근에 표준화된 지능검사로는 한국행동과학연구소가 1984년에 전국 고등학교 학생을 대상으로 제작한 KIT-S 지능검사가 있다. |

| ureteral opening | The opening of the ureter in the bladder, situated one at each lateral angle of the trigone; wide gaping of the ostium usually indicates vesicoureteral reflux. Synonym: ostium ureteris, orificium ureteris, ureteral meatus, ureteral opening. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| ureteral pseudo-diverticulosis | <radiology> Proliferation of von Brunn's nests, often missed on IVP may lead to need retrograde urogram, pre-malignant may lead to TCC (12 Dec 1998) |
| automated differential leukocyte counter | An instrument using digital imaging or cytochemical techniques to differentiate leukocytes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Begg light wire differential force technique | An orthodontic appliance utilizing small gauge labial wires with expansion and contraction loops formed into it and attached to bands fitted to individual teeth; sometimes called Begg light wire differential force technique. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calorimetry, differential scanning | Differential thermal analysis in which the sample compartment of the apparatus is a differential calorimeter, allowing an exact measure of the heat of transition independent of the specific heat, thermal conductivity, and other variables of the sample. (12 Dec 1998) |
| white blood cell differential | <haematology> The white blood cell differential is a percentage of each type of white blood cell based on a count of 100 white cells. A change in the white blood cell type (to neutrophils or bands) can indicate a bacterial infection. Neutrophils, bands, lymphocytes, monocytes, basophils and eosinophils are all included.

| semantic differential | Analysis of word concepts by the association of polar adjectives, e.g., good-bad, with the concept, father. The adjectives are usually scaled in 7 steps. The subject's placement of the concept on the adjectival scale indicates the connotative meaning of the concept. (12 Dec 1998) |
| diagnosis, differential | The determination of which two or more diseases with similar symptoms is the one from which a patient is suffering from based on an analysis of the clinical data. (27 Sep 1997) |
| differential | 1. Relating to or indicating a difference; creating a difference; discriminating; special; as, differential characteristics; differential duties; a differential rate. "For whom he produced differential favors." (Motley) 2. <mathematics> Of or pertaining to a differential, or to differentials. 3. <mechanics> Relating to differences of motion or leverage; producing effects by such differences; said of mechanism. Differential calculus. <mathematics> A portable hoisting apparatus, the same in principle as the differential windlass. A hoisting pulley to which power is applied through a differential gearing. Differential screw, a compound screw by which a motion is produced equal to the difference of the motions of the component screws. Differential thermometer, a thermometer usually with a U-shaped tube terminating in two air bulbs, and containing a coloured liquid, used for indicating the difference between the temperatures to which the two bulbs are exposed, by the change of position of the coloured fluid, in consequence of the different expansions of the air in the bulbs. A graduated scale is attached to one leg of the tube. Differential windlass, or Chinese windlass, a windlass whose barrel has two parts of different diameters. The hoisting rope winds upon one part as it unwinds from the other, and a pulley sustaining the weight to be lifted hangs in the bight of the rope. It is an ancient example of a differential motion. Origin: Cf. F. Differentiel. 1. <mathematics> An increment, usually an indefinitely small one, which is given to a variable quantity. According to the more modern writers upon the differential and integral calculus, if two or more quantities are dependent on each other, and subject to increments of value, their differentials need not be small, but are any quantities whose ratios to each other are the limits to which the ratios of the increments approximate, as these increments are reduced nearer and nearer to zero. 2. A small difference in rates which competing railroad lines, in establishing a common tariff, allow one of their number to make, in order to get a fair share of the business. The lower rate is called a differential rate. Differentials are also sometimes granted to cities. 3. <physics> One of two coils of conducting wire so related to one another or to a magnet or armature common to both, that one coil produces polar action contrary to that of the other. A form of conductor used for dividing and distributing the current to a series of electric lamps so as to maintain equal action in all. <mathematics> Partial differential, the differential of a function of two or more variables, when each of the variables receives an increment. The total differential of the function is the sum of all the partial differentials. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| differential adhesion | The differential adhesion hypothesis was advanced by Steinberg to explain the mechanism by which heterotypic cells in mixed aggregates sort out into isotypic territories. Quantitative differences in homo and hetero typic adhesion are supposed to be sufficient to account for the phenomenon without the need to postulate cell type specific adhesion systems: fairly generally accepted, although some tissue specific cell adhesion molecules are now known to exist.

| differential diagnosis | The determination of which two or more diseases with similar symptoms is the one from which a patient is suffering from based on an analysis of the clinical data. (27 Sep 1997) |
| differential display PCR | Method of image formation in the light microscope based on the method proposed by Nomarski (though strictly speaking all forms of optical microscopy rely to a greater or lesser extent on differential interference). The light beam is split by a Wollaston prism in the condenser, to form slightly divergent beams polarized at right angles. One passes through the specimen (and is retarded if the refractive index is greater) and one through the background nearby: the two are recombined in a second Wollaston prism in the objective and interfere to form an image. The image is spuriously three dimensional the nucleus, for example: appears to stand out above the cell (or be hollowed out) because it has a higher refractive index than the cytoplasm. The Nomarski system has the advantage that there is no phase halo, but the contrast is low and image formation with crowded cells is poor because the background does not differ from the specimen.

| differential equation | <epidemiology> The mathematical formulation corresponding to a continuous model; an equation involving derivatives. (05 Dec 1998) |
