| 설명 | 임신 중이나 분만 중의 태아의 상태를 알아보는 것을 태아감시라고 한다. 여기에는 여러 가지 방법이 있는데 크게 분만전 태아감시와 분만중 태아감시로 크게 나눈다. 1. 분만전태아감시: 분만하기 이전의 태아의 상태를 검사하는 방법으로 다음과 같은 여러 가지 방법이 있다. ① 양수천자: 주사기를 이용해서 산모의 배를 통해서 양수를 얻어서 분석하여 태아의 상태를 알아보는 방법. 임신 15주 이상에서 실시할 수 있다. ② 탯줄천자: 초음파검사를 실시하여 영상을 보면서 탯줄 속에 바늘을 넣어서 그 곳의 혈관을 찾아 혈액을 채취하여 검사하는 방법. 아주 위험할 것 같지만 상당히 안전한 것으로 되어 있다. 다른 검사에 비해서 검사에 많은 기술이 필요하지만 아주 많은 정보를 제공해 준다. ③ 비스트레스검사(nonstress test) : 태아도 자궁 속에서 운동을 한다. 그리고 정상적으로 태아가 자궁 속에서 운동을 할 경우에는 태아의 심장 박동이 빨라지게 된다. 태아의 운동과 태아의 심장박동을 동시에 감시하여 운동시에 태아의 심장박동이 빨라지는 가를 알아보는 것이다. |

| 설명 | 임신기간 중 만성적으로 알코올을 섭취한 여자에게서 태어난 영아에게 나타나는 형태발생의 이상을 나타내는 증후군으로서 위턱뼈발육부전, 앞머리와 아래턱의 돌출, 짧은검열, 작은안구증, 눈구석주름, 심한 성장지연, 정신지체 등을 나타낸다. |

| adrenal calcification | <radiology> Haemorrhage, cyst, Addison's disease (e.g., TB, histo), neoplasm, pheochromocytoma, adrenal cortical adenoma/carcinoma, adrenal choristoma (myelolipoma), metastatic melanoma, Wolman disease (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| adrenal capsule | See adrenal gland. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adrenal cortical carcinomas | Large invasive and metastasizing tumours which may cause virilism or Cushing's syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenal cortical syndrome | <syndrome> An inexact (and obsolete) term that has been applied to Cushing's syndrome, Addison's disease, or the adrenogenital syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenal crisis | <endocrinology> An abrupt life-threatening state which is caused by insufficient production of cortisol by the adrenal gland. A typical finding in Addison's disease. Individuals who have been taking corticosteroids (glucocorticoids) for a prolonged period of time (weeks to months) are at risk for acute adrenal crisis if the medication is stopped abruptly. For this reason, corticosteroid medication are withdrawn slowly on a diminishing dosing schedule. Symptoms include low blood pressure (shock), weakness, headache, vomiting, fever chills, tachycardia and sweating. Treatment includes blood pressure support and intravenous hydrocortisone. (27 Sep 1997) |
| adrenal cyst | <radiology> Same characteristics as renal cysts, but less common, thick wall, septations, calcifications suggests pseudocyst (12 Dec 1998) |
| adrenal gland | <anatomy, endocrinology> This gland is found above each kidney and it made up of an outer wall (cortex) that secretes important steroid hormones and an inner portion (medulla) that produces adrenaline (adrenaline) and noradrenaline (noradrenaline). The hormones help control heart rate, blood pressure, the way the body uses food, and other vital functions. (25 Jun 1999) |
| adrenal gland hypofunction | Adrenocortical hypofunction includes all conditions in which adrenal steroid hormone secretion falls below the requirements of the body. Adrenal insufficiency may be divided into two general categories: (1) those associated with primary inability of the adrenal to elaborate sufficient quantities of hormone and (2) those associated with a secondary failure due to a primary failure in the elaboration of adrenocorticotropin. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adrenal gland insufficiency | <endocrinology> A condition that results from the inadequate production of adrenal hormones (see Addison's disease). (27 Sep 1997) |
| adrenal gland tumour | <oncology> A benign tumour or adenoma, that usually results in the excess production of adrenal gland hormones. (27 Sep 1997) |
| adrenal haemorrhage | <radiology> Neonate, right more common, 10% bilateral, birth trauma, hypoxia, septicaemia, congenital syphilis, haemorrhagic disorders (haemophilia, etc.) adult, septicaemia (Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome), tumour, trauma Notes: usually resolves in 4-6 weeks, adrenal insufficiency rare, even if bilateral, may calcify (12 Dec 1998) |
| adrenal hermaphroditism | Altered appearance of the genitalia due to disorders of adrenocortical function, most often female virilization; not an example of true hermaphroditism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenal hyperplasia | <pathology> A condition of diffuse enlargement of the adrenal glands. Origin: Gr. Plassein = to form (27 Sep 1997) |
| adrenal hyperplasia, congenital | A group of inherited disorders of adrenal steroidogenesis, the physical expression of which varies with the sex of the patient, the severity of the congenital enzyme defect, and the age at which the defect makes its presence felt. The most common form, the simple virilizing form, is due to a 21-hydroxylase deficiency. There is also a salt-losing form (a more complete 21-hydroxylase deficiency), a hypertensive form (11-hydroxylase deficiency), a 17-hydroxylase deficiency form, a desmolase deficiency form, and a 3-beta-hydroxysteroid deficiency form. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adrenal hypertension | Hypertension due to an adrenal medullary pheochromocytoma or to hyperactivity or functioning tumour of the adrenal cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
