| postmortem thrombus | A clot formed within the heart or in a blood vessel after death. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| propagated thrombus | A gradually increasing thrombosis involving one section of a vein after another in continuity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary thrombus | A thrombus formed about an embolus as a nucleus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hyaline thrombus | A translucent colourless plug, partly or wholly filling a capillary or small artery or vein, formed by agglutination of red blood corpuscles. Synonym: agglutinative thrombus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stratified thrombus | A laminated thrombus, the layers of different ages being of different colour or consistency. Synonym: stratified thrombus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infective thrombus | A thrombus formed in septic phlebitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| obstructive thrombus | A thrombus due to obstruction in the vessel from compression or other cause. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thrombus | <haematology> An aggregation of blood factors, primarily platelets and fibrin with entrapment of cellular elements, frequently causing vascular obstruction at the point of its formation. Some authorities thus differentiate thrombus formation from simple coagulation or clot formation. Compare: embolism. Origin: Gr. Thrombos = clot (18 Nov 1997) |
| fibrin thrombus | A thrombus formed by repeated deposits of fibrin from the circulating blood; it usually does not completely occlude the vessel. (05 Mar 2000) |
| laminated thrombus | A thrombus formed gradually by clotting of the blood in successive layers. (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) |
| bovine progressive degenerative myeloencephalopathy | A familiar myeloencephalopathy of brown Swiss cattle characterised by bilateral hindleg weakness and ataxia and deficient proprioceptive reflexes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis | <nephrology> A relatively uncommon (affecting 1 out of 10,000 people) form of acute glomerulonephritis that results in damage within the glomerulus of the kidney. There is rapid loss of kidney function with the formation of crescents on microscopic analysis (kidney biopsy). This disorder may result in acute glomerulonephritis or nephrotic syndrome, but ultimately results in renal failure and end-stage renal disease. Symptoms include smoky coloured urine (pyuria), decreased urine output, swelling and hypertension. Any conditions which can cause a vasculitis increase the risk of this disorder. Some examples include lupus, Goodpasture's syndrome, Henoch-Schonlein purpura, IgA nephropathy, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody disease, history for malignant tumours and exposure to hydrocarbon solvents. (27 Sep 1997) |
| chronic progressive chorea | A progressive disorder usually beginning in young to middle age, consisting of a triad of choreoathetosis, dementia, and autosomal dominant inheritance with complete penetrance. Bilateral marked wasting of the putamen and the head of the caudate nucleus is characteristic. Synonym: chronic progressive chorea, degenerative chorea, hereditary chorea, Huntington's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia | A specific type of slowly worsening weakness of the ocular muscles, usually associated with a pigmentary retinopathy. See: Kearns-Sayre syndrome, oculopharyngeal dystrophy. Synonym: ocular myopathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
