| inclusion | 1. The act of including, or the state of being included; limitation; restriction; as, the lines of inclusion of his policy. 2. <chemical> A foreign substance, either liquid or solid, usually of minute size, inclosed in the mass of a mineral. Origin: L. Inclusio: cf. F. Inclusion. See Include. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| inclusion blennorrhoea | A neonatal conjunctivitis caused by Chlamydia trachomatis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inclusion bodies | <cell biology> Nuclear or cytoplasmic structures with characteristic staining properties, usually found at the site of virus multiplication. Semi crystalline arrays of virions, capsids or other viral components. (13 Nov 1997) |
| inclusion bodies, viral | An area showing altered staining behaviour in the nucleus or cytoplasm of a virus-infected cell. Some inclusion bodies represent "virus factories" in which viral nucleic acid or protein is being synthesised; others are merely artifacts of fixation and staining. One example, negri bodies, are found in the cytoplasm or processes of nerve cells in animals that have died from rabies. (12 Dec 1998) |
| inclusion body disease | <disease> An illness in newborns caused by viral infection, symptoms includefever, cellular enlargement, microscopically-visible clumps of viralparticles or proteins in the cytoplasm and nuclei of affected cells, enlargementof the spleen and liver. Long-term effects of the disease may includemental retardation. (09 Oct 1997) |
| inclusion body encephalitis | <neurology> Chronic progressive illness seen in children a few years after measles infection and involving demyelination of the cerebral cortex. Virus apparently persists in brain cells: usually considered a slow virus disease. (18 Nov 1997) |
| inclusion body myositis | <radiology> Common form of inflamatory myopathy, most common in the elderly, equal sex incidence, sporadic idiopathic disease (very rarely familial), misdiagnosed as steroid-resistant polymyositis symptoms, presents as a painless slowly progressive proximal myopathy, may cause dysphagia, mild to moderate muscle wasting diagnosis, serum creatine kinase levels usually normal or only slightly elevated, EMG may show non-specific myopathic features, diagnosis on muscle biopsy, inclusion bodies seen in rimmed vacuoles in skeletal muscle fibres treatment, steroids and immunosuppression generally ineffective, rare patients reported who have made a response to treatment pathogenesis, unknown, ubiquitin, prion protein, tau protein found in inclusions, abnormal mitchondria seen in some case (12 Dec 1998) |
| inclusion body rhinitis | A respiratory disease of pigs caused by the cytomegalovirus porcine herpesvirus 2 and characterised by rhinitis and conjunctivitis in young pigs. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inclusion cell | i cell |
| inclusion cell disease | <biochemistry> Mucolipidosis of early onset and with severe symptoms like those in Hurler's syndrome but with normal urinary mucopolysaccharides, vacuolated lymphocytes, and inclusion bodies in cultured fibroblasts (I-cells). The lysosomes lack hydrolases but high concentrations of lysosomal enzymes are found in the extracellular fluids such as serum, spinal fluid, and urine. It is associated with a deficiency of N-acetylglucosaminyl-1-phosphotransferase. The gene defect responsible probably prevents the addition of the lysosome recognition marker mannose 6 phosphate) to these enzymes so that they are not directed into the lysosomes but are released. Inheritance: autosomal recessive. Synonym: I-cell disease, inclusion cell disease. (12 Jul 2000) |
| inclusion compound | The mechanical trapping of small molecules within spaces between other molecules; e.g., the inclusion of iodine molecules by starch molecules to form the well-known red-to-black "addition compound" (05 Mar 2000) |
| inclusion conjunctivitis | A follicular conjunctivitis caused by Chlamydia trachomatis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inclusion conjunctivitis viruses | Former name for Chlamydia trachomatis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inclusion dermoid | A collection of cancerous cells which form cysts that contain one or more of the three primary embryonic germ layers: skin, hair or teeth. (27 Sep 1997) |
