|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 다발성 원발성골종양. 머리뼈-갈비뼈-복장뼈-척추뼈-골반 등에 잘 나타나고, 물렁물렁한 종괴를 형성하며, 뼈의 흡수가 일어나고, 40~60세 남자에게 많이 발생한다. 골수종 종양세포는 형질세포에서 유래한 것이어서 형질세포종이라고도 한다. 과거에는 형질세포성골수종 이외에는 다른 골수조혈요소에서 생기는 골수종이라고 생각했지만 현재는 부정되고 있다. 형질세포는 원래 면역글로불린을 생산하는 세포이며, 그것이 종양화한 다발 골수종 환자에서도 대부분 혈청 속에 면역 글로불린이 증가된 것을 볼 수 있다. 증가한 글로불린은 IgG나 IgA인 경우가 많지만 다른 형도 있다. 골수종 환자 약 50%는 오줌에서 벤스죤스단백질이 검출되는데, 이 단백질의 축적에 의해 요세관이 파괴되고, 콩팥경화가 일어난다. 골수종 환자에서는 혈청단백 이상으로 가끔 아밀로이드증이 나타난다. 뼈 X선 소견으로서는 도려낸 병터, 골융해상, 병적골절이 관찰된다. |

| 영문 | multiple personality | 한글 | 다인성 인격 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 해리성 정신장애의 하나로 나타난다. 한 사람이 여러 사람의 성격을 소유하고 있는 것으로 마치 “지킬박사와 하이드 씨”와 같은 경우이다. 아마, 현재 자신의 처지에서 벗어나고 싶은 무의식적인 욕망에서 비롯되는 것으로 여겨진다. |

| heart failure in kids | <radiology> Primary cardiomyopathy, aortic outflow obstruction, coarctation, supravalvular aortic stenosis, valvular aortic stenosis, noncardiac lesion, asphyxia, TTN (transient tachypnea of newborn), perinatal brain damage (IVH) see also: neonatal congestive heart failure (12 Dec 1998) |
| hepatic failure | A condition of severe end-stage liver dysfunction that is accompanied by a decline in mental status that may range from confusion (hepatic encephalopathy) to unresponsiveness (hepatic coma). Other features include a mousy odour to the breath, difficulty with balance and walking, tremor and impaired speech. (27 Sep 1997) |
| prosthesis failure | Malfunction of implantation shunts, valves, etc., and prosthesis loosening, migration, and breaking. (12 Dec 1998) |
| high output failure | Heart failure in which, despite relative myocardial insufficiency and consequent congestive heart failure, the cardiac output is maintained at normal or supernormal levels, as is sometimes seen in emphysema, thyrotoxicosis, etc. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary failure | Failure of the function of an organ as a result of antecedent pathology elsewhere, decreasing responsiveness to a drug after an initial satisfactory response, usually occurring several months after initiation of treatment. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pump failure | A term used to emphasize mechanical default of the heart as a pump; in acute myocardial infarction, pump failure signifies congestive heart failure, pulmonary oedema, or cardiogenic shock. Compare: electrical failure. Synonym: power failure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neonatal heart failure | <radiology> most likely cause, premature: patent ductus arteriosus, full term: hypoplastic left heart, 2nd week: coarctation and VSD aetiology, valvular stenosis, mitral stenosis, aortic stenosis, aortic coarctation, vein of Galen aneurysm, infantile haemangioendothelioma of liver, hypoplastic left heart see also: congestive heart failure in kids (12 Dec 1998) |
| dental restoration failure | Inability or inadequacy of a dental restoration or prosthesis to perform as expected. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ovarian failure, premature | Premature failure of ovulation associated with hypergonadotropinism and hypoestrogenism in women under the age of 40. The aetiology appears to be multifactorial and many cases are idiopathic. When follicles are present but the ovaries are unable to respond to gonadotropins, resistant ovary syndrome results and this may be associated with autoimmune disease. Even when there is a loss of ovarian follicles, it is not always complete. Permanent and irreversible loss of follicles is termed premature menopause (menopause, premature). (12 Dec 1998) |
| electrical failure | Failure in which the cardiac inadequacy is secondary to disturbance of the electrical impulse. (05 Mar 2000) |
| treatment failure | A measure of the quality of health care by assessing the unsuccessful results or consequences of management and procedures used in combating disease. (12 Dec 1998) |
| equipment failure | Failure of equipment to perform up to standards. The failure may be due to defects or improper use. (12 Dec 1998) |
| equipment failure analysis | Determination of reliability and maintainability of equipment. (12 Dec 1998) |
| failure | The state of insufficiency or nonperformance. (05 Mar 2000) |
