| valvular heart disease | A general term that applies to any abnormality of one of the heart valves, tricuspid, mitral, aortic or pulmonic valves. (27 Sep 1997) |
|---|---|
| valvular insufficiency | A leaky state of one or more of the cardiac valves, the valve not closing tightly and blood therefore regurgitating through it. Synonym: valvular incompetence, valvular insufficiency. (05 Mar 2000) |
| valvular pneumothorax | A variety of spontaneous pneumothorax in which air enters the pleural cavity and is trapped during expiration; intrathoracic pressure builds to values higher than atmospheric pressure, compresses the lung, and may displace the mediastinum and its structures toward the opposite side, with consequent disadvantageous effects on blood flow. Synonym: pressure pneumothorax, valvular pneumothorax. (05 Mar 2000) |
| valvular prolapse | <syndrome> A syndrome, particularly of the atrioventricular valves, in which systole causes a sudden tensing of a scallop of a valve or an entire cusp producing the auscultatory click. Synonym: valvular prolapse. (05 Mar 2000) |
| valvular regurgitation | A leaky state of one or more of the cardiac valves, the valve not closing tightly and blood therefore regurgitating through it. Synonym: valvular incompetence, valvular insufficiency. (05 Mar 2000) |
| valvular sclerosis | Fibrosis, often with calcification of valves, considered to be an aging change and not due to primary valvular disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| valvular thrombus | A parietal thrombus that projects into the lumen of the vessel. (05 Mar 2000) |
| prominence of venous valvular sinus | A slight eminence on the external wall of a vein correlating with the valvular sinus immediately proximal to the leaflets of the venous valve. Synonym: agger valvae venae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute primary haemorrhagic meningoencephalitis | A disease characterised by acute onset of fever, followed by convulsions, delirium, and coma, and associated with perivascular demyelination and haemorrhagic foci in the central nervous system. Synonym: acute primary haemorrhagic meningoencephalitis, Strumpell's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acyclic monoterpene primary alcohol - NADP oxidoreductase | <enzyme> From catmint nepeta racemosa; involved in the biosynthesis of iridoid monoterpenes; oxidises geraniol, nerol, and their 10-hydroxy derivatives in the presence of nadp(+). Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- Synonym: monoterpene primary alcohol - nadp oxidoreductase, ampano (26 Jun 1999) |
| anterior primary division | <anatomy, nerve> The larger, anterolaterally-directed major terminal branch (with the dorsal primary ramus) of all 31 pairs of mixed spinal nerves, formed at the intervertebral foramen. Most ventral primary rami, especially those involved in the innervation of the limbs, participate in the formation of the major nerve plexuses (cervical, brachial, and lumbosacral) and lose their identities. Most in the thoracic region, however, remain separate from adjacent rami to become the intercostal and subcostal nerves. Ventral primary rami provide innervation to the anterolateral body wall and trunk. Nomina Anatomica lists ventral primary rami as "rami ventrales" for each group of spinal nerves: 1) cervical (nervorum cervicalium ), 2) thoracic (nervorum thoracicorum ), 3) lumbar (nervorum lumbalium ), 4) sacral (nervorum sacralium )m, and 5) coccygeal (nervi coccygei ). Synonym: ramus ventralis nervi spinalis, anterior primary division. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aphasia, primary progressive | A type of aphasia appearing gradually and gradually worsening without any major change in other cognitive functions. It is regarded by some authors as a syndrome which may be due to various degenerative diseases of the cerebral cortex (notably alzheimer disease, owing to its frequency), while others see in it an autonomous disease related to a neuropathological process that is distinct from the main degenerative dementias. The principal clinical peculiarity of primary progressive aphasia is that it spares the patient's autonomy for a long time, but ultimately turns into global dementia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ventral primary rami of cervical spinal nerves | See: ventral primary ramus of spinal nerve. Synonym: rami ventrales nervorum cervicalium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventral primary rami of lumbar spinal nerves | See: ventral primary ramus of spinal nerve. Synonym: rami ventrales nervorum lumbalium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventral primary rami of sacral spinal nerves | See: ventral primary ramus of spinal nerve. Synonym: rami ventrales nervorum sacralium. (05 Mar 2000) |
