| hemianopic scotoma | A scotoma involving half of the central field. (05 Mar 2000) |

| scintillating scotoma | A localised area of blindness edged by brilliantly coloured shimmering lights (teichopsia); usually a prodromal symptom of migraine. See: fortification spectrum. Synonym: flittering scotoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| scotoma | 1. An area of lost or depressed vision within the visual field, surrounded by an area of less depressed or of normal vision. 2. Mental scotoma Origin: Gr. Skotoma (18 Nov 1997) |
| Seidel's scotoma | A form of Bjerrum's scotoma. See: Seidel's sign. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sickle scotoma | A comet-shaped scotoma, occurring in glaucoma, attached at the temporal end to the blind spot or separated from it by a narrow gap; the defect widens as it extends above and nasally curves around the fixation spot, and then extends downward to end exactly at the nasal horizontal meridian. Synonym: Bjerrum's sign, sickle scotoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| negative scotoma | A scotoma that is not ordinarily perceived, but is detected only on examination of the visual field. (05 Mar 2000) |
| quadrantic scotoma | A scotoma involving a quarter segment of the central visual field. (05 Mar 2000) |
| zonular scotoma | A curved scotoma not corresponding to the path of retinal nerve fibres. (05 Mar 2000) |
| flittering scotoma | A localised area of blindness edged by brilliantly coloured shimmering lights (teichopsia); usually a prodromal symptom of migraine. See: fortification spectrum. Synonym: flittering scotoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| CD4-positive T-lymphocytes | A critical subpopulation of regulatory T-lymphocytes involved in the induction of most immunological functions. The HIV virus has selective tropism for the t4 cell which expresses the CD4 phenotypic marker, a receptor for HIV. In fact, the key element in the profound immunosuppression seen in HIV infection is the depletion of this subset of T-lymphocytes, which includes both the helper-inducer (T-lymphocytes, helper-inducer) and suppressor-inducer (T-lymphocytes, suppressor-inducer) T-cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| CD8-positive T-lymphocytes | A critical subpopulation of regulatory T-lymphocytes involved in MHC class I-restricted interactions. They include both cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (T-lymphocytes, cytotoxic) and suppressor T-lymphocytes (T-lymphocytes, suppressor-effector). (12 Dec 1998) |
| gram-positive | <microbiology> Bacteria that retain the stain or that are resistant to decolourisation by alcohol during Gram's method of staining. This is a primary characteristic of bacteria whose cell wall is composed of a thick layer of peptidologlycan containing teichoic and lipoteichoic acid complexed to the peptidoglycan. See: gram-negative (06 Oct 1997) |
| gram-positive asporogenous rods | <microbiology> A gram-positive, non-spore-forming group of bacteria comprising organisms that have morphological and physiological characteristics in common. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gram-positive asporogenous rods, irregular | <microbiology> A group of irregular rod-shaped bacteria that stain gram-positive and do not produce endospores. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gram-positive asporogenous rods, regular | <microbiology> A group of regular rod-shaped bacteria that stain gram-positive and do not produce endospores. (12 Dec 1998) |
