| Brown-Sequard's syndrome | <neurology, syndrome> A type of spinal cord lesion that is characterised by hemiparaplegia and hyperesthesia, but with loss of motor function on the same side as the lesion and hemianaesthesia on the opposite side. (27 Sep 1997) |
|---|---|
| brown-sequard syndrome | <syndrome> A syndrome due to damage of one half of the spinal cord, resulting in ipsilateral paralysis below the level of the lesion and loss of discriminatory and joint sensation, and contralateral loss of pain and temperature sensation. Brown-sequard was a french physiologist, 1817-1894. The syndrome is also called brown-sequard disease and brown-sequard paralysis but this latter should not be confused with a flaccid paralysis seen in disorders of the urinary tract called by the same name.

| brown's syndrome | <syndrome> An ophthalmology (eye) problem. Brown's syndrome presents as an abnormality at birth (congenitally) and is characterised by an inability to elevate the eyeball when also trying to move the eyeball to the outside. Brown's syndrome can also occur because of other conditions which affect the normal function of the eye muscles. (12 Dec 1998) |
| brown striae | Dark concentric lines crossing the enamel prisms of the teeth, seen in axial cross sections of the enamel. Synonym: brown striae, striae parallelae. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Paterson-Brown-Kelly syndrome | <syndrome> Limited elevation of the eye in adduction, appearing clinically as a paresis of the inferior oblique muscle, due to fascia contracting the superior oblique muscle on the same side. Synonym: Brown's syndrome, Paterson-Brown-Kelly syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Hines-Brown test | A cardiocirculatory challenge conventionally performed by immersing one hand in ice cold water for two or more minutes (as tolerated) to acutely raise the blood pressure, thus imposing resistance to ejection of blood from the left ventricle into the systemic arterial system and consequently acutely increased afterload (afterload = increased left ventricular wall stress). Synonym: Hines-Brown test. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Sudan brown | A brown stain, (C10H7)N==N(C10H6)OH, derived from alpha-naphthylamine and used as a stain for fats. (05 Mar 2000) |
| syndrome, brown's | An ophthalmology (eye) problem. Brown's syndrome presents at birth (congenitally) and is characterised by an inability to elevate the eyeball when also trying to move the eyeball to the outside. (12 Dec 1998) |
| air-conditioner lung | An extrinsic allergic alveolitis caused by forced air contaminated by thermophilic actinomycetes and other organisms. (05 Mar 2000) |
| airless lung | <radiology> Tumour, foreign body, mucous plug (12 Dec 1998) |
| anterior border of lung | The thin anteromedial or sternal edge of the lung which overlaps the pericardial sac anteriorly and forms the boundary between the mediastinal and costal surfaces. Synonym: margo anterior pulmonis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apex of lung | The rounded, upper extremity of each lung that extends into the cupula of the pleura. Synonym: apex pulmonis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apical interstitial lung disease | <radiology> A radiological diagnosis where fibrosis is seen in the apices (upper sections) of the lungs. Likely causes include: cystic fibrosis, ankylosing spondylitis, sarcoidosis, silicosis, eosinophlic granuloma, TB and fungus, particularly aspergillus infection. (25 Jun 1999) |
