| 영문 | Rorschach Test | 한글 | 로르샤하 검사 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 사고장애와 정서장애에 민감한 투사검사(projective test). 검은색과 몇가지 색으로 이루어진 잉크얼룩같은 도형이 그려진 10개의 카드를 이용한다. 피검자에게 카드를 보이고 본 것에 대해 말하도록 한다. 다음에는 얼룩의 어느 위치가 피검자가 말한 지각대상을 암시하는지 찾도록 한다. 피검자의 답변을 분석하면 그의 사고와 정서상태에 대한 정보를 얻을 수 있다. |

| 영문 | Mantoux test | 한글 | 망토우검사 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 소아에 주로 실시하는 검사 방법으로, BCG접종후에나 혹은 결핵균에 한번이라도 노출된 경우에 양성반응으로 나온다. 우리나라에서는 생후 1개월에 BCG예방접종을 시행하므로 대부분 양성으로 나오게 되나, 이 예방접종을 받지 않은 상태에서 양성으로 나오면, 결핵균의 침투를 의심할 수 있다. |

| 영문 | stress test | 한글 | 스트레스 검사 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 협심증이 일어나기 쉬운 환자에게서 그 정도를 판단하기위해 시행한다. 방법은 같은 곳에서 환자를 달리도록 한 다음, 얼마의 속도에서 혈압이 떨어지고 협심증 증상이 나타나는가를 검사한다. 대개 심할수록 낮은 속도에서도 증상이 빨리 나타난다. |

| 영문 | visual field test | 한글 | 시야검사 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 눈을 한곳에 고정시킨 채, 관찰할 수 있는 주변공간을 시야라 한다. 시야를 검사하는 가장 간단한 방법은 대면검사(confronting test)이다. 이것은 피검사자의 눈을 검사자의 눈에 맞추어 보도록 하여 눈을 고정시킨채, 검사자가 손가락끝을 위쪽, 아래쪽, 왼쪽, 오른쪽, 그리고 비스듬히 경사진 곳 등으로 옮겨보아 피검사자가 관찰할 수 있는지 여부를 정하는 검사법이다. 이보다 정확한 검사법은 자동식 컴퓨터시야검사법이 있다. 대개, 눈자체의 이상이 있어도 시야검사에서 이상이 나오지만, 이외 뇌의 이상으로 시각의 형성경로에 이상이 있어도 역시 이상소견을 보인다. |

| 영문 | Draw a person test | 한글 | 인물화 성격검사 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 인물화 성격검사는 처음에는 지능검사로 개발되었고, 그 후에는 사람의 무의식의 요소를 검사하는 방법으로 발전하였다. 검사재료는 지우개가 있는 연필과 백지를 피검자에게 주고, 사람을 그려보라는 지시를 하며, 검사자는 그리는 순서와 평가를 기록하고, 다 그린 후에는 먼저와 다른 이성을 그리도록 한다. 이 검사에서의 신체의 모양은 곧 자아상을 반영한다는 입장, 그림에서 강조된 기관은 의사소통수단, 관념화, 욕구체계, 성적 능력, 갈등, 좌절경험, 성장력 등을 반영한다고 한다. 이것은 아동과 성인에게 개별적 또는 집단적으로 실시할 수 있고, 간편하면서도 유익한 것이다. 임상적으로는 뇌의 기질적 변화를 알아내기 위한 목적으로도 많이 이용된다. |

| regular insulin injection | A preparation that may contain 20, 40, 80, 100, or 500 USP insulin units per ml, although the trend is toward standardizing all insulin preparations at 100 units per ml; it is administered subcutaneously, occasionally intravenously, and has a rapid onset of action, has a brief duration (5 to 7 hours), and is compatible for mixing with long-acting insulin preparations; used in the treatment of diabetic acidosis and insulin coma. Synonym: regular insulin injection. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| globin insulin | A rapidly acting form of insulin which is a clear solution and may be administered intravenously as well as subcutaneously; may be mixed with longer acting forms of insulin to extend the duration of effect. Onset of effect occurs in 1/2 to 1 hour, peak effects are observed in 2 to 3 hours, and the duration of effect is about 5 to 7 hours. Synonym: globin insulin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| globin zinc insulin | A sterile solution of insulin modified by the addition of zinc chloride and globin; it contains 40 or 80 units per ml; duration of action is about 18 hours. Human insulin, a protein that has the normal structure of insulin produced by the human pancreas, prepared by recombinant DNA techniques and by semisynthetic processes. Immunoreactive insulin (IRI), that portion of insulin in blood measured by immunochemical methods for the hormone; presumed to represent the free (unbound) and biologically active fraction of total blood insulin. Isophane insulin, a modified form of insulin composed of insulin, protamine, and zinc; an intermediately acting preparation used for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. Synonym: NPH insulin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| crystalline insulin zinc suspension | A long-acting insulin suspension, obtained from beef, with an approximate time of onset of 7 hours and a duration of action of 36 hours. Synonym: crystalline insulin zinc suspension. (05 Mar 2000) |
| prompt insulin zinc suspension | Sterile suspension of insulin in buffered water for injection, modified by the addition of zinc chloride such that the solid phase of the suspension is amorphous; it contains 40 or 80 units per ml; the duration of action is equivalent to that of insulin injection. Synonym: amorphous insulin zinc suspension, semilente insulin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| protamine zinc insulin | Insulin modified by the addition of protamine and zinc chloride; it contains 40 or 80 units per ml. (05 Mar 2000) |
| semilente insulin | Sterile suspension of insulin in buffered water for injection, modified by the addition of zinc chloride such that the solid phase of the suspension is amorphous; it contains 40 or 80 units per ml; the duration of action is equivalent to that of insulin injection. Synonym: amorphous insulin zinc suspension, semilente insulin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus | <disease> An often mild form of diabetes mellitus of gradual onset, usually in obese individuals over age 35; absolute plasma insulin levels are normal to high, but relatively low in relation to plasma glucose levels; ketoacidosis is rare, but hyperosmolar coma can occur; responds well to dietary regulation and/or oral hypoglycaemic agents, but diabetic complications and degenerative changes can develop. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nonsuppressible insulin-like activity | A blood protein (nsila) which mimics the biological activity of insulin in serum, but is not suppressed by insulin antibodies. During acid-ethanol extraction of cohn fraction III, 10% of the activity is found in the supernatant (nsila-s) and the remaining activity in the precipitate (nsila-p). The latter is a large molecular compound, much less stable than the soluble fraction. Nsila-s is a more potent growth factor than insulin and exhibits sulfation activity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| NPH insulin | isophane insulin |
| diabetes mellitus, insulin-dependent | Diabetes mellitus characterised by insulin deficiency, sudden onset, severe hyperglycaemia, rapid progression to ketoacidosis, and death unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence. (12 Dec 1998) |
| diabetes mellitus, non-insulin-dependent | Diabetes characterised by the ability to survive without ketoacidosis in the absence of insulin therapy. It is usually of slow onset and patients exhibit a tendency to obesity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| insulin | <drug, growth factor, hormone> A polypeptide hormone (bovine insulin, 5780D) found in both vertebrates and invertebrates. Secreted by the _ cells of the pancreas in response to high blood sugar levels, it induces hypoglycaemia. Defective secretion of insulin is the cause of diabetes mellitus. Insulin is also a mitogen, has sequence homologies with other growth factors and is a frequent addition to cell culture media for demanding cell types. (18 Nov 1997) |
| insulin activating factor | <chemical> Activates insulin gene transcription in pancreatic beta cells. Synonym: insaf (05 Dec 1998) |
| insulin allergy | When a person's body has an allergic or bad reaction to taking insulin made from pork or beef or from bacteria, or because the insulin is not exactly the same as human insulin or because it has impurities. The allergy can be of two forms. Sometimes an area of skin becomes red and itchy around the place where the insulin is injected. This is called a local allergy. In another form, a person's whole body can have a bad reaction. This is called a systemic allergy. The person can have hives or red patches all over the body or may feel changes in the heart rate and in the rate of breathing. A doctor may treat this allergy by prescribing purified insulins or by desensitisation. See: desensitisation. (09 Oct 1997) |
