| subgaleal emphysema | Collection of air or gas between the inner layer of the scalp and the cranium. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| surgical emphysema | Subcutaneous emphysema from air trapped in the tissues by an operation or injury. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diffuse emphysema | Emphysema affecting all parts of the lobules, in part, or usually the whole, of the lungs, and usually associated with a1-antiprotease deficiency emphysema. Synonym: diffuse emphysema, generalised emphysema, panacinar emphysema. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diffuse obstructive emphysema | The major component of chronic obstructive lung disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| increased markings emphysema | A term applied to mixed obstructive lung disease in which radiographic findings of emphysema coexist with nonvascular shadows, probably related to bronchial inflammation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interlobular emphysema | Interstitial emphysema in the connective tissue septa between the pulmonary lobules. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interstitial emphysema | Presence of air in the pulmonary tissues consequent upon rupture of the air cells, presence of air or gas in the connective tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intestinal emphysema | A condition characterised by the presence of thin-walled, gas-containing cysts in the wall of the intestines. The lesions may be subserosal or submucosal. (12 Dec 1998) |
| irregular emphysema | Emphysema that shows no consistent relationship to any portion of the acinus; always associated with fibrosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ectatic emphysema | Obstructive airway disease with areas of dilatation of alveoli acini. Seen primarily in association with inherited deficiency of alpha-1 protease inhibitor. See: panlobular emphysema. (05 Mar 2000) |
| emphysema | <chest medicine> A pathological accumulation of air in tissues or organs, applied especially to such a condition of the lungs. (18 Nov 1997) |
| familial emphysema | Emphysema inherited in association with severe alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. It may occur as an isolated feature or with cutis laxa and haemolytic anaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| unilateral lobar emphysema | A state in which the roentgenographic density of one lung (or one lobe) is markedly less than the density of the other(s) because of the presence of air trapped during expiration. Synonym: Macleod's syndrome, Swyer-James syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| malum coxae senile | <orthopaedics> Deformity of the head of the femur caused by ischemic damage. Synonym: senile hip disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| primary senile dementia | <disease> A progressive, neurodegenerative disease characterised by loss of function and death of nerve cells in several areas of the brain leading to loss of cognitive function such as memory and language. The cause of nerve cell death is unknown but the cells are recognised by the appearance of unusual helical protein filaments in the nerve cells (neurofibrillary tangles) and by degeneration in cortical regions of brain, especially frontal and temporal lobes. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia. (22 May 1997) |
