| endemic stability | A situation in which all factors influencing disease occurrence are relatively stable, resulting in little fluctuation in disease incidence over time; changes in one or more of these factors (e.g., reduction in proportion of individuals with immunity from exposure to infectious agent) can lead to an unstable situation in which major disease outbreaks occur.

| endemic syphilis | Syphilis caused by organisms closely related to Treponema pallidum; spread by personal, but not necessarily venereal, contact; usually acquired in childhood, most common in areas of provery and overcrowding; rare in the United States; includes yaws, pinta and bejel. Synonym: endemic syphilis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endemic typhus | Murine typhus, an acute infectious disease with fever, headache, and rash, all quite similar to, but milder than, epidemic typhus, caused by a related microoganism, Rickettsia typhi (mooseri), transmitted to humans by rat fleas (Xenopsylla cheopis). The animal reservoir includes rats, mice and other rodents. Murine typhus occurs sporadically worldwide but is more prevalent in congested rat-infested urban areas. Also known as rat-flea typhus or urban typhus of Malaya. (12 Dec 1998) |
| typhus, endemic | See Typhus, murine. (12 Dec 1998) |
| typhus, endemic flea-borne | An infectious disease clinically similar to epidemic louse-borne typhus (typhus, epidemic louse-borne), but caused by rickettsia typhi, which is transmitted from rat to man by the rat flea, xenopsylla cheopis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adaptive hypertrophy | Thickening of the walls of a hollow organ, like the urinary bladder, when there is obstruction to outflow. (05 Mar 2000) |
| benign prostatic hypertrophy | <urology> A benign enlargement of the prostate gland begins normally after age 50 years probably secondary to the effects of male hormones. If significant enlargement occurs, it may pinch off te urethra making urination difficult or impossible. See: urinary retention. (06 Aug 1998) |

| gingival hypertrophy | <dentistry> The abnormal enlargement of the gingiva surrounding the teeth caused by poor oral hygiene. (08 Jan 1998) |
| vicarious hypertrophy | Hypertrophy of an organ following failure of another organ because of a functional relationship between them; e.g., enlargement of the pituitary gland, after destruction of the thyroid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| right ventricular hypertrophy | <radiology> Pulmonary valve stenosis, pulmonary hypertension, tetralogy of Fallot, VSD (12 Dec 1998) |
| physiologic hypertrophy | Temporary increase in size of an organ or part to provide for a natural increase of function, such as the kind that occurs in the walls of the uterus and in the mammae during pregnancy. Synonym: functional hypertrophy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compensatory hypertrophy | Increase in size of an organ or part of an organ or tissue, when called upon to do additional work or perform the work of destroyed tissue or of a paired organ. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compensatory hypertrophy of the heart | Thickening of the walls of the heart in response to vascular, valvular, other heart disease, or athletic conditioning. (05 Mar 2000) |
| complementary hypertrophy | Increase in size or expansion of part of an organ or tissue to fill the space left by the destruction of another portion of the same organ or tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
