| rheumatic torticollis | Stiff neck due to cervical or neck myositis, chiefly of the sternocleidomastoid, occurring especially in children. Synonym: rheumatic torticollis. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| rheumatic valvulitis | Valvulitis characterised in the acute stage by small fibrin vegetations along the lines of closure and by Aschoff bodies in the cusps; in the chronic stage, it is characterised by scarring, commissural adhesion, and stenosis and/or regurgitation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute adrenocortical insufficiency | Severe adrenocortical insufficiency when an intercurrent illness or trauma causes an increased demand for adrenocortical hormones in a patient with adrenal insufficiency due to disease or use of relatively large amounts of similar hormones as therapy; characterised by nausea, vomiting, hypotension, and frequently hyperthemia, hyponatraemia, hyperkalaemia, and hypoglycaemia; can be fatal if untreated. Synonym: addisonian crisis, adrenal crisis, Bernard-Sergent syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenal gland insufficiency | <endocrinology> A condition that results from the inadequate production of adrenal hormones (see Addison's disease). (27 Sep 1997) |
| adrenal insufficiency | <endocrinology> A condition that results from the inadequate production of adrenal hormones (see Addison's disease). (27 Sep 1997) |
| adrenocortical insufficiency | Loss, to varying degrees, of adrenocortical function. Synonym: hypocorticoidism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiac insufficiency | A condition where there is ineffective pumping of the heart leading to an accumulation of fluid in the lungs. Typical symptoms include shortness of breath with exertion, difficulty breathing when lying flat and leg or ankle swelling. Causes include chronic hypertension, cardiomyopathy and myocardial infarction. (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) |
| pancreatic insufficiency | Not enough of the digestive enzymes normally secreted by the pancreas into the intestine. Pancreatic insufficiency is a hallmark of cystic fibrosis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| velopharyngeal insufficiency | Failure of the soft palate to reach the posterior pharyngeal wall. It may be caused by cleft palate surgery, palatal or pharyngeal abnormalities or injury, or neuromuscular dysfunction of the velopharyngeal sphincter. It causes hypernasality of speech. (12 Dec 1998) |
| venous insufficiency | <cardiology, surgery> A condition in which the vein do not channel the flow of blood adequately. most often this condition is seen in the veins of the lower extremities. Symptoms include leg swelling, leg pain and muscle cramps. This condition can predispose to venous thrombosis. (12 Jan 1998) |
| parathyroid insufficiency | <endocrinology> A term which describes the abnormally low production of parathyroid hormone by the parathyroid glands. Hypoparathyroidism may be congenital or occur in association with another disorder (autoimmune disease, haemochromatosis). Common symptoms are those of low blood calcium: muscle spasms, tetany, facial grimacing, laryngeal spasm and seizures. (11 Jan 1998) |
| vertebrobasilar insufficiency | Obstruction or stenosis of the vertebral-basilar system manifested by disturbances of consciousness, vertigo, headache, hemi- or quadriplegia, dysarthria, and facial paralysis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| partial adrenocortical insufficiency | Normal basal adrenocortical function with failure of adrenocortical reserve to respond to ACTH stimulation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| renal insufficiency | Defective function of the kidneys, with accumulation of waste products (particularly nitrogenous) in the blood. (05 Mar 2000) |
