| LED | light-emitting diode; lowest emitting dose; lupus erythematosus disseminatus |
| pemphigus erythematosus | An eruption involving sun-exposed skin, especially the face; the lesions are scaling erythematous macules and blebs, combining the clinical features of both lupus erythematosus and pemphigus vulgaris; bullae are subcorneal; probably a variant of pemphigus foliaceus. Synonym: Senear-Usher disease, Senear-Usher syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic | A myocardial disease characterised by hypertrophy, involving mainly the interventricular septum, interfering with left ventricular emptying. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gastritis, hypertrophic | Gastritis with hypertrophy of gastric mucosa folds. Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhoea, weight loss, excessive mucus secretion, and hypoproteinaemia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chronic hypertrophic vulvitis | Swelling of the vulval tissues due to lymphatic obstruction; in some cases it may be caused by filariasis, with induration or ulceration of the skin. Synonym: elephantiasis vulvae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chronic interstitial hypertrophic neuropathy | dejerine-Sottas disease |
| cicatrix, hypertrophic | An elevated scar, resembling a keloid, but which does not spread into surrounding tissues. It is formed by enlargement and overgrowth of cicatricial tissue and regresses spontaneously. (12 Dec 1998) |
| progressive hypertrophic polyneuropathy | A familial type of demyelinating sensorimotor polyneuropathy that begins in early childhood and is slowly progressive; clinically characterised by foot pain and paresthesias, followed by symmetrical weakness and wasting of the distal limbs; one of the causes of stork legs; patients are wheelchair bound at an early age; peripheral nerves are palpably enlarged and non-tender; pathologically, onion bulb formation is seen in the nerves: whorls of overlapping, intertwined Schwann cell processes that encircle bare axons; usually autosomal recessive inheritance. Synonym: Dejerine's disease, progressive hypertrophic polyneuropathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hereditary hypertrophic neuropathy | dejerine-Sottas disease |
| hypertrophic | Relating to or characterised by hypertrophy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hypertrophic arthritis | <pathology> Noninflammatory degenerative joint disease occurring chiefly in older persons, characterised by degeneration of the articular cartilage, hypertrophy of bone at the margins and changes in the synovial membrane. It is accompanied by pain and stiffness, particularly after prolonged activity. Origin: Gr. Arthron = joint (18 Nov 1997) |
| hypertrophic cardiomyopathy | <cardiology, pathology> A congenital heart disease that results in abnormal thickening of the ventricular septum and left ventricular wall. Enlargement of the ventricular septum can result in ventricular outflow obstruction (subaortic stenosis) and eventual cardiomyopathy. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (27 Sep 1997) |
| hypertrophic cervical pachymeningitis | A fibrotic and inflammatory thickening of spinal pachymeninges, particularly in the cervical region, resulting in spinal nerve radiculopathy; believed to be of syphilitic aetiology. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hypertrophic dystrophy | Increase in the number of cells in a squamous epithelium. Synonym: hypertrophic dystrophy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hypertrophic gastritis | Gastric mucosal hyperplasia, either mucoid or glandular; the latter type may be associated with the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Synonym: giant hypertrophy of gastric mucosa, hypertrophic gastritis, Menetrier's syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hypertrophic interstitial neuropathy | Sensorimotor neuropathy characterised pathologically by collections of Schwann cell processes arranged concentrically around one or more nerve fibres. No genetic factors are known in its aetiology.For hereditary types, see hereditary hypertrophic neuropathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
