| systemic lupus erythematosus | <immunology, nephrology, rheumatology> A disease of humans, probably autoimmune with antinuclear and other antibodies in plasma. Immune complex deposition in the glomerular capillaries is a particular problem. Acronym: SLE (19 Jan 1998) |
|---|---|
| systemic mastocytosis | Infiltration of many organ systems by mast cells with varied clinical manifestations that can include fever, weight loss, flushing, bronchospasm, rhinorrhoea, palpitations, dyspnea, diarrhoea, gastrointestinal bleeding, and hypotension. Synonym: systemic mastocytosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| systemic myelitis | Inflammation confined to special tracts of the spinal cord. (05 Mar 2000) |
| systemic poisoning | Any disease of toxic origin. Synonym: systemic poisoning. Origin: toxico-+ G. -osis, condition (05 Mar 2000) |
| systemic sclerosis | <rheumatology> A multisystem disorder of unknown aetiology. It is characterised by fibrosis (scarring) of the skin, blood vessels and internal organs. Involvement of the gastrointestinal tract, heart, kidneys and lungs is common. (09 Jan 1998) |
| systemic therapy | <pharmacology> Treatment that reaches and affects cells all over the body. (16 Dec 1997) |
| systemic vascular resistance | An index of arteriolar compliance or constriction throughout the body; equal to the blood pressure divided by the cardiac output. (05 Mar 2000) |
| systemic venous hypertension | Increased pressure in the veins ultimately leading to the right atrium nearly always due to disease of the right heart but occasionally due to blockade of one or both venae cavae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lupus erythematosus, systemic | A chronic, relapsing, inflammatory, and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue, characterised principally by involvement of the skin, joints, kidneys, and serosal membranes. It is of unknown aetiology, but is thought to represent a failure of the regulatory mechanisms of the autoimmune system. The disease is marked by a wide range of system dysfunctions, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and the formation of le cells in the blood or bone marrow. (12 Dec 1998) |
| benign juvenile melanoma | A benign, slightly pigmented or red superficial small skin tumour composed of spindle-shaped, epithelioid, and multinucleated cells that may appear atypical; most common in children, but also appearing in adults. Synonym: benign juvenile melanoma, epithelioid cell nevus, spindle cell nevus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| periodontitis, juvenile | Localised periodontitis in teenagers and young adults. The onset is during the circumpubertal period but the diagnosis can be made beyond puberty. Lesions are confined predominantly to the first permanent molars or incisors and the distribution of lesions is usually symmetrical. The gingiva may appear normal. The lesions are highly active immediately following puberty but later destruction may slow or cease spontaneously. The disease is four times more prevalent in females than males and more prevalent in african americans than in other races or ethnic groups. (12 Dec 1998) |
| xanthogranuloma, juvenile | Benign disorder of infants and children characterised by multiple nodules with lipid-laden, non-langerhans-cell histiocytes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| juvenile | Pertaining to youth or childhood, young or immature. (18 Nov 1997) |
| juvenile absence epilepsy | A generalised epilepsy syndrome with onset around puberty, characterised by absence seizures and generalised tonic-clonic seizures. EEG often shows a greater than 3 Hz generalised spike wave pattern. (05 Mar 2000) |
| juvenile angiofibroma | <oncology, tumour> A benign tumour of the posterior nasopharynx that is most common in adolescent boys. Symptoms repeated epistaxis, nasal congestion, nasal discharge and hearing loss. A skull X-ray or a CT scan of the head can confirm the presence of an angiofibroma. Treatment may include the surgical removal of the lesion if it is enlarging or blocking the airway. (27 Sep 1997) |
