|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 방사성을 띠는 핵물질을 이용하여 의학에 응용하는 학문. 대개 인체에 큰 해가 없는 방사선물질을 사용하며, 반감기가 짧아 사용후에도 큰 해가 없다. 이런 핵의학적 물질을 이용한 핵의학적 진단의 가장 큰 장점은 생체내에서 일어나는 그 기관의 실제적인 기능을 알아볼 수 있다는 데 있다. 흔히 접하는 X-선을 이용한 진단방법은 단지 그 순간만의 영상을 접하여 실제로 보이는 부위가 얼마나 기능을 수행하는지 알 수 없는 단점이 있으나, 핵의학에서는 실제적인 기능의 정도에 따라 영상이 나오게 되므로 기능판별에 아주 유리하다. 하지만, 정확한 판별력이 있는 영상을 얻기에는 부족하다. 또한 핵의학은 진단외의 치료에도 사용되는데, 예를 들어 갑상샘종양의 경우 여러 곳에 이미 전이가 되어 있을 경우 방사선핵종을 이용하여 다른 곳에 큰 부작용없이 치료가 가능하다. |

| pelvic pain | Pain in the pelvic region of genital and non-genital origin and of organic or psychogenic aetiology. Frequent causes of pain are distension or contraction of hollow viscera, rapid stretching of the capsule of a solid organ, chemical irritation, tissue ischemia, and neuritis secondary to inflammatory, neoplastic, or fibrotic processes in adjacent organs. (kase, weingold & gershenson: principles and practice of clinical gynecology, 2d ed, pp479-508) (12 Dec 1998) |

| rest pain | Pain occurring usually in the extremities during rest in the sitting or lying position. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chest pain | There are many causes of chest pain. One is angina which results from inadequate oxygen supply to the heart muscle. Angina can be caused by coronary artery disease or spasm of the coronary arteries. Chest pain can also be due to a heart attack (coronary occlusion) and other important diseases. Do not try to ignore chest pain and work (or play) though it. Chest pain is a warning to seek medical attention. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chest wall pain | Chest pain that originates from a noncardiac cause. Chest wall pain typically involves an inflammatory condition of the muscles, bones or joints that comprise the thorax. (27 Sep 1997) |
| phantom limb pain | The sensation, after amputation of a limb, that the absent part is still present; there may also be paresthesias, transient aches, and intermittent or continuous pain perceived as originating in the absent limb. (12 Dec 1998) |
| midcycle pain | <gynaecology> One-sided lower abdominal (pelvic) pain that occurs at or around the time of ovulation (midcycle). Thought to be secondary to a stretching of the ovarian capsule and subsequent capsular rupture during expulsion of the egg. Inevitably, there is some bleeding associated with this normal month function that can inflame the peritoneum and cause pain. (27 Sep 1997) |
| middle pain | <gynaecology> One-sided lower abdominal (pelvic) pain that occurs at or around the time of ovulation (midcycle). Thought to be secondary to a stretching of the ovarian capsule and subsequent capsular rupture during expulsion of the egg. Inevitably, there is some bleeding associated with this normal month function that can inflame the peritoneum and cause pain. (27 Sep 1997) |
| mind pain | 1. Distress attending a mental effort, noted especially in melancholia. Synonym: algopsychalia, mind pain, phrenalgia, psychalgalia, soul pain. Synonym: psychogenic pain. Origin: psych-+ G. Algos, pain (05 Mar 2000) |
| movement-related pain | <symptom> A type of breakthrough pain that is related to specific activity, such as eating, defecation, socialising or walking. Also referred to as incident pain. (16 Dec 1997) |
| pleasure-pain principle | The psychoanalytic concept that man instinctively seeks to avoid pain and discomfort and strives for gratification and pleasure. (12 Dec 1998) |
| congenital insensitivity to pain | <radiology> Autosomal recessive, neuropathic joints, micro- and macrofractures, epiphyseal separation, osteomyelitis (mandible, fingers, toes) Differential diagnosis: congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (autosomal recessive), hereditary sensory radicular neuropathy (autosomal recessive), congenital sensory neuropathy (autosomal dominant), familial dysautonomia (autosomal recessive), Lesch-Nyhan syndrome (X recessive) (12 Dec 1998) |
| myofacial pain-dysfunction syndrome | <syndrome> Dysfunction of the masticatory apparatus related to spasm of the muscles of mastication precipitated by occlusal dysharmony or alteration in vertical dimension of the jaws, and exacerbated by emotional stress; characterised by pain in the preauricular region, muscle tenderness, popping noise in the temporomandibular joint, and limitation of jaw motion. Synonym: temporomandibular joint pain-dysfunction syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| myofascial pain | <symptom> A large group of muscle disorders characterised by the presence of hypersensitive points, called trigger points, within one or more muscles and/or the investing connective tissue together with a syndrome of pain, muscle spasm, tenderness, stiffness, limitation of motion, weakness and occasionally autonomic dysfunction. (16 Dec 1997) |
| myofascial pain syndromes | Muscular pain in numerous body regions that can be reproduced by pressure on trigger points, localised hardenings in skeletal muscle tissue. Pain is referred to a location distant from the trigger points. A prime example is the temporomandibular joint dysfunction syndrome. (12 Dec 1998) |
| postprandial pain | Pain occurring after eating, typical of malignancy in oesophagus or stomach. (05 Mar 2000) |
