| brain abscess in kids | <radiology> Cyanotic congenital heart disease, e.g., tetralogy of Fallot, most important predisposing factor, blood not filtered by pulmonary capillaries (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| brain aneurysm | A dilated and weakened portion of a cerebral blood vessel that is prone to rupture. A cerebral aneurysm may occur as a birth defect or develop as the result of long-standing poorly controlled hypertension. Symptoms of a ruptured cerebral aneurysm include a sudden, severe thunderclap headache that may be associated with nausea, vomiting and a decreased level of consciousness. (27 Sep 1997) |
| brain-assocated tyrosine kinase | <enzyme> 86% identical to matk protein. Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: batk protein (26 Jun 1999) |
| brain cicatrix | A scarring of the brain resulting from injury (reactive gliosis), characterised by proliferation of mesodermal (vascular) and ectodermal (glial) elements. See: isomorphous gliosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brain concussion | Transient or prolonged unconsciousness with or without impairment of higher mental functions and/or brainstem functions, due to a violent blow to the head. (12 Dec 1998) |
| brain congestion | Increased volume of the intravascular compartment of the brain; often associated with brain swelling. Synonym: encephalaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brain contusion | A head injury of sufficient force to bruise the brain. The bruising of the brain will often involve the surface of the brain and cause an extravasation of blood without rupture of the pia-arachnoid. Often associated with a concussion. (27 Sep 1997) |
| brain death | Total cessation of brain function for 24 hours as manifested by absence of spontaneous movement, absence of spontaneous respiration, and absence of all brainstem reflexes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| brain-derived growth factor | <growth factor> Small basic protein purified from pig brain, a member of the family of neurotrophic factors that also includes Nerve Growth Factor and neurotrophin 3. In contrast to nerve growth factor, brain-derived neurotrophic factor is predominanantly (though not exclusively) localised in the CNS. It supports the survival of primary sensory neurons originating from the neural crest and ectodermal placodes that are not responsive to NGF. In the brain brain-derived neurotrophic factor has a trophic action on retinal, cholinergic, and dopaminergic neurons, and in the peripheral nervous system it acts on both motor and sensory neurons. Acronym: BDGF (12 Dec 1998) |

| brain diseases, metabolic | Metabolic disorders which lead to pathological changes and/or functional deviations of the brain. (12 Dec 1998) |
| brain-heart infusion agar | A medium used for the isolation of fastidious microorganisms, especially fungi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brain herniation | A condition that occurs when the brain is under abnormally increased pressure. The increased intracranial pressure forces the brain downward inside the skull. This results in typical neurologic manifestations (coma, paralysis and a unilateral dilated pupil). May occur secondary to head injury, primary or metastatic brain tumour, bacterial meningitis and brain abscess. Brain herniations may involve different portions of the brain such as the cerebellum (cerebellar herniation), uncus (uncal herniation) and transtentorial herniation of the cerebrum. (27 Sep 1997) |
| brain injury | Acute injuries to the brain, general or unspecified. (12 Dec 1998) |
| brain iron | <radiology> Normal, Infant: NONE, Adult: globus pallidum, substantia nigra, red nucleus, dentate nucleus, Aging: (adult) and putamen, Degenerative disease, Parkinson disease: putamen, SN compacta, Huntington disease: caudate, putamen, Alzheimer disease: cerebral cortex, Hallervorden-Spatz disease, MS: thalamus, putamen, Others, AVM: malformation and rim, Bleed: rim macrophages, Haemorrhagic CVA: gyral / basal ganglia MRI: low T1 and T2 signal (12 Dec 1998) |
| brain stem |
The lower extension of the brain where it connects to the spinal cord. Neurological functions located in the brain stem include those necessary for survival (breathing, heart rate) and for arousal (being awake and alert).
