| progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy | <radiology> Demyelinating disease due to papovavirus, seen in immunosuppressed hosts: lymphoma, leukaemia, AIDS, TB, sarcoidosis, organ transplant, most prominent in pareito-occipital white matter, NO contrast enhancement (12 Dec 1998) |
| progressive muscle relaxation | A cognitive-behavioural strategy in which muscles are alternately tensed and then relaxed in a systematic fashion. (16 Dec 1997) |
| progressive muscular atrophy | A serious neurologic disease that results from the progressive degeneration of the motor neurons. (27 Sep 1997) |
| progressive muscular dystrophy | A form of progressive muscular atrophy in which the disease begins in the muscle and not in the spinal centres. Synonym: Erb atrophy, idiopathic muscular atrophy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| progressive patient care | Organization of medical and nursing care according to the degree of illness and care requirements in the hospital. The elements are intensive care, intermediate care, self-care, long-term care, and organised home care. (12 Dec 1998) |
| progressive pigmentary dermatosis | Chronic purpura, especially of the legs in men, spreading to form brownish patches; associated microscopically with perivascular lymphatic infiltration, diapedesis, and haemosiderosis. Synonym: Schamberg's dermatitis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| progressive spinal muscular atrophy | One of the subgroups of motor neuron disease; a progressive degenerative disorder of the motor neurons of the spinal cord, manifested as progressive, often symmetrical, weakness and wasting, typically beginning in the distal portions of the limbs, particularly in the upper extremities, and spreading proximally; fasciculation potentials are often present, but evidence of corticospinal tract disease (e.g., increased deep tendon reflexes, Babinski sign) is not.

| progressive staining | A procedure in which staining is continued until the desired intensity of colouring of tissue elements is attained. (05 Mar 2000) |
| progressive subcortical encephalopathy | <radiology> Demyelinating disease due to papovavirus, seen in immunosuppressed hosts: lymphoma, leukaemia, AIDS, TB, sarcoidosis, organ transplant, most prominent in pareito-occipital white matter, NO contrast enhancement (12 Dec 1998) |
| progressive supranuclear palsy | A disorder that is associated with nerve cell destruction and progressive lack of coordination, neck stiffness, trunk stiffness, problems with eye movement and mild dementia. Disorders that are similar include Alzheimer's disease, cerebellar dysfunction, Jakob-Creutzfeldt disease and Parkinson's disease. The cause for progressive supranuclear palsy is unknown, but is likely a degenerative nerve disorder that is somehow triggered by a viral infection. Pathologic changes include nerve cell damage and destruction of myelin sheath. There is no known cure. (27 Sep 1997) |
| essential progressive atrophy of iris | Progressive atrophy of the iris without inflammatory signs, characterised by patchy loss of all layers of the iris with hole formation, migration of the pupil, degeneration of the corneal endothelium, peripheral anterior synechiae, and secondary glaucoma; usually unilateral, predominantly affecting women in their middle years. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| lenticular progressive degeneration | <gastroenterology, neurology> An inherited (autosomal recessive) disorder where there is excessive quantities of copper in the tissues, particularly the liver and central nervous system. Wilson's disease causes the body to absorb and retain copper. The copper deposits in the liver, brain, kidneys and eyes. Complications include dementia and liver failure. Symptoms include jaundice, vomiting, tremors, weakness and slow stiff movements. Blood tests show serum ceruloplasmin is low. Medications are given to remove the excess copper from the body. Even with life-long treatment, disabling (and life-threatening) side effects are common. Inheritance: autosomal recessive. (27 Sep 1997) |
| leukoencephalopathy, progressive multifocal | Rare demyelinating disease of the central nervous system which develops in immunocompromised patients secondary to lymphoproliferative disease, immunosuppressive therapy, autoimmune disorders, or aids. It is caused by the jc virus, a polyomavirus. (12 Dec 1998) |

| progressive muscular atrophy |
A progressive neurological disease in which the lower motor nerve cells (neurons) deteriorate. If the upper motor neurons are not affected within two years, the disease usually remains a pure lower motor neuron disease.

A condition that starts with difficulties speaking, chewing and swallowing due to lower motor nerve cell (neuron) deterioration. This disorder affects about 25% of all people with ALS.
