| AIDS | Acquired Immuno(Immune)-Deficiency Syndrome; 후천성 면역 결핍 증후군 |
| myofascial pain syndromes | Muscular pain in numerous body regions that can be reproduced by pressure on trigger points, localised hardenings in skeletal muscle tissue. Pain is referred to a location distant from the trigger points. A prime example is the temporomandibular joint dysfunction syndrome. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| postgastrectomy syndromes | Sequelae of gastrectomy from the second week after operation on. Include recurrent or anastomotic ulcer, postprandial syndromes (dumping syndrome and late postprandial hypoglycaemia), disordered bowel action, and nutritional deficiencies. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pre-excitation syndromes | Conditions characterised by activation of the whole or some part of the ventricle by the atrial impulse earlier than would be expected if the impulse reached the ventricle by way of the normal specific conduction system only. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cytotoxicity, immunologic | The phenomenon of target cell destruction by immunologically active effector cells. It may be brought about directly by sensitised T-lymphocytes or by lymphoid or myeloid "killer" cells, or it may be mediated by cytotoxic antibody, cytotoxic factor released by lymphoid cells, or complement. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cytotoxicity tests, immunologic | The demonstration of the cytotoxic effect on a target cell of a lymphocyte, a mediator released by a sensitised lymphocyte, an antibody, or complement. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sleep apnea syndromes | Disorders involving apneic episodes during sleep. They may be due to cessation of diaphragmatic movement, obstruction of upper airway air flow, or a combination of these, and may be associated with hypersomnolence, insomnia, or obesity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neoplastic endocrine-like syndromes | Endocrine syndromes due to hormone production by neoplasms of non-endocrine tissue, or by other than the usual endocrine tissues. They are often the first indication of a previously undetected neoplasm. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neoplastic syndromes, hereditary | The condition of a pattern of malignancies within a family, but not every individual's necessarily having the same neoplasm. Characteristically the tumour tends to occur at an earlier than average age, individuals may have more than one primary tumour, the tumours may be multicentric, usually more than 25 percent of the individuals in direct lineal descent from the proband are affected, and the cancer predisposition in these families behaves as an autosomal dominant trait with about 60 percent penetrance. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nerve compression syndromes | Repeated or prolonged pressure on a nerve root or peripheral nerve leading to ischemia, the response to which is oedema above and below the source of pressure. If the pressure is not relieved, fibrosis tends to develop. Types of nerve compression syndromes are the neuropathy caused by intervertebral disk herniation, compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel, compression of the ulnar nerve in the elbow, and compression of the lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh in meralgia paresthetica. This is also called pressure neuropathy. (12 Dec 1998) |
| suppressor factors, immunologic | Proteins, protein complexes, or glycoproteins secreted by suppressor T-cells that inhibit either subsequent T-cells, B-cells, or other immunologic phenomena. Some of these factors have both histocompatibility (I-j) and antigen-specific domains which may be linked by disulfide bridges. They can be elicited by haptens or other antigens and may be mass-produced by hybridomas or monoclones in the laboratory. (12 Dec 1998) |
| syndromes of paranasal sinuses | <radiology> Gardner: osteomas, Kartagener: chronic infection, basal cell-nevoid, neurofibromatosis, Down (trisomy 21): hypoplastic frontal, sphenoid, with or without ethmoid, progeria: absent frontal sinuses; dwarf, immature, cleidocranial dysostosis: all sinuses absent/small (12 Dec 1998) |
| desensitization, immunologic | Immunosuppression by the administration of increasing doses of antigen. Though the exact mechanism is not clear, the therapy results in an increase in serum levels of allergen-specific IgG, suppression of specific IgE, and an increase in suppressor T-cell activity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| dose-response relationship, immunologic | A specific immune response elicited by a specific dose of an immunologically active substance or cell in an organism, tissue, or cell. (12 Dec 1998) |
| dry eye syndromes | Corneal and conjunctival dryness due to deficient tear production, predominantly in menopausal and post-menopausal women. Filamentary keratitis or erosion of the conjunctival and corneal epithelium may be caused by these disorders. Sensation of the presence of a foreign body in the eye and burning of the eyes may occur. (12 Dec 1998) |
| immunologic | <immunology> Pertaining to immunology. (18 Nov 1997) |
