| cyclic strabismus | A strabismus that appears and disappears in rhythym, most frequently at 48-hour intervals. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| X-strabismus | Strabismus in which exotropia is more marked when looking upward or downward than when looking straight ahead. (05 Mar 2000) |
| strabismus | <clinical sign> A deviation of the eye which the patient cannot overcome. The visual axes assume a position relative to each other different from that required by the physiological conditions. The various forms of strabismus are spoken of as tropias, their direction being indicated by the appropriate prefix, as cyclo tropia, esotropia, exotropia, hypertropia and hypotropia. Also called cast, heterotropia, manifest deviation and squint. Origin: Gr. Strabismos = a squinting (18 Nov 1997) |
| strabismus deorsum vergens | An obsolete term for vertical strabismus in which the visual axis of one eye deviates downward. (05 Mar 2000) |
| strabismus sursum vergens | An obsolete term for a vertical strabismus in which the visual axis of one eye deviates upward. (05 Mar 2000) |
| divergent strabismus | <clinical sign> The outward or temporal deviation of an eye. (27 Sep 1997) |
| incomitant strabismus | Strabismus due to weakness of an ocular muscle or muscles. Synonym: incomitant strabismus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| internal strabismus | An obsolete term for esotropia (05 Mar 2000) |
| external strabismus | An obsolete term for exotropia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| kinetic strabismus | Strabismus due to spasm of an extraocular muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bilaterally small, smooth kidneys | <radiology> Generalised atherosclerosis, nephrosclerosis - benign and malignant, atheroembolic renal disease, chronic glomerulonephritis, papillary necrosis, hereditary diseases, hereditary chronic nephritis (Alport's syndrome), medullary cystic disease, amyloidosis (late), arterial hypotension Cf: other urographic patterns (12 Dec 1998) |
| carcinoma, non-small-cell lung | A heterogeneous aggregate of at least three distinct histological types of lung cancer, including squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and large cell carcinoma. They are dealt with collectively because of the shared properties of poor response to conventional chemotherapy and the potential for cure with surgical resection in a fraction of patients. (12 Dec 1998) |
| carcinoma, small cell | An anaplastic, highly malignant, and usually bronchogenic carcinoma composed of small ovoid cells with scanty neoplasm. It is characterised by a dominant, deeply basophilic nucleus, and absent or indistinct nucleoli. There are admixtures of small cell lung carcinoma with other types of lung cancer. Small cell carcinomas are distinguished by their distinctive biological features, response to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and by their nearly universal tendency to develop overt or subclinical metastases, which frequently eliminates surgery in most patients. (12 Dec 1998) |
| generalised small bowel disease | <radiology> Hypoproteinaemia, sprue, Whipple (12 Dec 1998) |
| mesenteric portion of small intestine | The freely movable portion of the small intestine supplied with a mesentery, comprising the jejunum and ileum. Synonym: mesenteric portion of small intestine. (05 Mar 2000) |
