| 영문 | sudden infant death syndrome | 한글 | 영아급사증후군 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 한 살 이하의 건강한 아기가 아무런 조짐이나 원인 없이 갑자기 사망했을 경우에 내리는 진단이다. 이 증후군은 생후 1~4개월 사이에 가장 많이 발생하며, 대부분 밤 10시에서 오전 10시 사이에 발생한다. 조산하거나 부모가 흡연자일 경우, 20세 이하 산모의 초산, 임신전 건강관리에 소홀한 산모에게서 태어난 영아에게서 많이 발생한다. 이 증후군으로 사망한 영아의 형제일 경우 일반적인 영아보다 걸릴 확률이 높은 것으로 알려져 있다. |

| 영문 | severe acute respiratory syndrome(SARS) | 한글 | 중증급성호흡증후군 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 중국 광동 지역에서 가장 먼저 발생한 전염성호흡기병으로 세계보건기구(WHO)에서 ‘중증급성호흡증후군(SARS)'으로 명명했다. 섭씨 38도 이상의 고열과 기침, 호흡곤란, 저산소증, X선상의 폐렴증상 중 하나 이상의 증상이 나타나며, 두통, 근육통, 식욕부진, 피로감, 발진, 설사를 동반할 수 있다. 초기 증상은 감기와 비슷하지만 폐렴으로 발전하면 치명적일 수 있다. 현재 밝혀진 감염경로는 환자가 재채기나 기침할 때 내뿜는 침방울이고, 이것이 다른 사람의 호흡기로 들어갈 때 전염된다. 침방울이 전달되는 거리는 보통 1m로 보고 있다. 공기를 통해 전염이 가능하다는 주장이 제기됐지만 아직 확인되지 않았다. 원인균은 변종 코로나바이러스로 밝혀졌다. |

|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 증상의 집합. 어떤 질병의 징후의 총합을 말한다. 대개 그 원인은 알 수 없으나, 증상이 복합적으로 나타나고 이에 대한 치료가 일정한 경우 하나의 증후군으로 취급한다. |

| 영문 | asphycitic syndrome | 한글 | 질식증후군 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 호흡기중의 산소결핍에 의한 생명정지의 절박한 상태, 또는 실제로 정지가 일어난 상태, 고이산화탄소증과 저산소증 혹은 무산소증 등이 동반된다. 외계 폐의 고통이 두절되어 폐의 호흡작용이 장애되는 것(외질식)과 가스나 약제에 의해 생체내 조직의 가스교환이 방해를 받는 것(내질식)이 있다. 일반적으로 외질식을 가리키는 경우가 많다. 원인으로서는 코나 입 등 호흡입구의 폐색, 음식물이나 이물에 의한 기도폐색, 목조임, 물 또는 분비물 등이 기도로 들어가는 것, 약물 또는 파상풍에 의한 호흡근마비, 매몰 등 외력에 의한 호흡운동의 저지, 공기 중의 산소부족 및 유독가스의 흡입 등을 들 수 있다. |

| 영문 | nephrotic syndrome | 한글 | 콩팥증후군 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 콩팥의 토리이상에 의한 단백질손실이 주원인인 병이다. 그 정의는 성인의 요단백량(소변에 섞여 나오는 단백질의 양. 대개 정상인에서는 나오지 않거나, 혹은 아주 소량이 나올 뿐임)이 하루 3.5mg이상, 또한 소아에서는 혈중 알부민농도가 2.5mg이하, 하룻동안 소변으로 나오는 요단백량을 시간당 계산했을 때 시간당 40mg이상인 경우이다. 따라서 콩팥증후군이란 위의 정의에 합당하기만 하면 모두 해당되므로, 여러 가지 원인에 의한 콩팥이상으로서 단백질의 지나친 배출을 나타내는 질병의 집합체를 뜻한다. 대개 증상은 지나친 혈중단백질의 감소로 인한 부종, 그리고 이차적인 증상으로 발생한 고지질혈증, 감염감수성의 증가, 고혈압 등이다. 치료와 예후는 콩팥증후군을 나타내는 각 원인에 따라 다르나, 대개 소아에 발생한 경우 스테로이드제재에 의한 치료효과가 높다. |

| Aarskog-Scott syndrome | A syndrome of ocular hypertelorism, anteverted nostrils, broad upper lip, saddle-bag scrotum, and laxity of ligaments resulting in genu recurvatum, flat feet, and hyperextensible fingers; X-linked and autosomal dominant forms. Synonym: Aarskog-Scott syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| Aarskog syndrome | <syndrome> Grier et al. (1983) reported father and 2 sons with typical Aarskog syndrome, including short stature, hypertelorism, and shawl scrotum. They tabulated the findings in 82 previous cases. X-linked recessive inheritance has been repeatedly suggested. The family reported by Welch (1974) had affected males in 3 consecutive generations. Thus, there is either genetic heterogeneity or this is an autosomal dominant with strong sex-influence and possibly ascertainment bias resulting from use of the shawl scrotum as a main criterion. Stretchable skin was present in the cases of Grier et al. (1983). Teebi et al. (1993) reported the case of an affected mother and 4 sons (including a pair of monozygotic twins) by 2 different husbands. They suggested that the manifestations were as severe in the mother as in the sons and that this suggested autosomal dominant inheritance. Actually, the mother seemed less severely affected, compatible with X-linked inheritance. Clinical signs: Mild to moderate short stature,normocephaly, Widow's peak hair, maxillary hypoplasia, broad nasal bridge, anteverted nostrils, long philtrum, broad upper lip, curved linear dimple below the lower lip, hypertelorism, ptosis, down-slanted palpebral fissures, ophthalmoplegia, strabismus, hyperopic astigmatism, large cornea, floppy ears, lop-ears,cleft lip/palate, shawl scrotum, saddle-bag scrotum, cryptorchidism, brachydactyly, digital contractures, clinodactyly, mild syndactyly, transverse palmar crease, lymphoedema of the feet, ligamentous laxity, osteochondritis dissecans, proximal finger joint hyperextensibility, flexed distal finger joints, genu recurvatum, flat feet, stretchable skin, cervical spine hypermobility, odontoid anomaly, macrocytic anaemia, hemochromatosis, hepatomegaly, portal cirrhosis, imperforate anus, rectoperineal fistula, interstitial pulmonary disease, sternal deformity. Inheritance: Sex-influenced autosomal dominant form, also X-linked form. (05 Aug 1998) |
| abdominal muscle deficiency syndrome | <syndrome> Congenital absence (partial or complete) of abdominal muscles, in which the outline of the intestines is visible through the protruding abdominal wall; in males, genitourinary anomalies (urinary tract dilation and cryptorchidism) are also found; genetics unclear. (05 Mar 2000) |
| abstinence syndrome | <syndrome> A constellation of physiologic changes undergone by persons or animals who have become physically dependent on a drug or chemical due to prolonged use at elevated doses, but who are abruptly deprived of that substance. The abstinence syndrome varies with the drug to which dependence has developed. Generally the effects observed are in an opposite direction from those produced by the drug; e.g., the withdrawal syndrome from central nervous system depressants such as barbiturates and benzodiazepines consists of insomnia, restlessness, tremulousness, hallucinations, and, in the extreme, tonic-clonic convulsions which may prove fatal. The onset time and severity of the abstinence syndrome depend upon how rapidly the drug disappears from the body. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Achard syndrome | <syndrome> Arachnodactyly with small receding mandible, broad skull, and joint laxity limited to the hands and feet; genetics unclear. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Achenbach syndrome | <syndrome> Haematoma of the finger pad with accompanying oedema; of unknown cause in the absence of disturbances in blood coagulation mechanisms. (05 Mar 2000) |
| achoo syndrome | <syndrome> A disorder characterised by nearly uncontrollable paroxysms of sneezing provoked in a reflex fashion by the sudden exposure of a dark-adapted subject to intensely bright light, usually sunlight. Inheritance: autosomal dominant. (05 Aug 1998) |
| Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome | <immunology, syndrome> An epidemic disease caused by an infection by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1, HIV-2), a retrovirus that causes immune system failure and debilitation and is often accompanied by infections such as tuberculosis. AIDS is spread through direct contact with bodily fluids. Acronym: AIDS (10 May 1997) |

| carpal tunnel syndrome |
Sometimes abbreviated CTS. This condition is due to median nerve entrapment under the transverse carpal ligament (flexor retinaculum) of the wrist. Predisposing conditions may include repetitive hand activity, arthritis, diabetes, hypothyroidism, wrist fracture or dislocation, pregnancy, carpal tunnel masses or inherited conditions. Clinical symptoms include arm pain as well as numbness of the first three and one-half digits, which may be aggravated by sleep, driving, or sewing.
