| 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 cyst | Intradermal or subcutaneous saclike structure, the wall of which is stratified epithelium containing keratohyalin granules. (12 Dec 1998) |
| 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) |
| epidermoid inclusion cyst | <radiology> Well-circumscribed radiolucent lesion showing a thin cortical margin that may not be visible in its entirety, frequently in the terminal phalanx, history of penetrating trauma is often elicited Differential diagnosis: ABC, enchondroma (12 Dec 1998) |
| foetal inclusion | Unequal conjoined twins in which the incompletely developed parasite is wholly enclosed in the autosite. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bacterial cast | A cast in the urine composed of bacteria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| blood cast | A cast usually formed in renal tubules, but may occur in bronchioles; consists of inspissated material that includes various elements of blood (i.e., erythrocytes, leukocytes, fibrin, and so on), resulting from bleeding into the glomerulus or tubule, or into the alveolus or bronchiole. (05 Mar 2000) |
| master cast | A replica of the prepared tooth surfaces, residual ridge areas, and/or other parts of the dental arch as reproduced from an impression. (05 Mar 2000) |
