| uridine monophosphate kinase | <enzyme> Catalyses the phosphorylation of ump to udp; an aspect of EC 2.7.4.4 Registry number: EC 2.7.4.- Synonym: ump kinase, uridine-5-monophosphate kinase, uridylate kinase (26 Jun 1999) |

| 5-methyldeoxycytidine monophosphate aminohydrolase | <enzyme> Forms thymidylate; does not act on dcmp Registry number: EC 3.5.4.- Synonym: 5mdcmp aminohydrolase (26 Jun 1999) |
| 8-bromo cyclic adenosine monophosphate | <chemical> 8-bromoadenosine cyclic 3',5'-(hydrogen phosphate). A long-acting derivative of cyclic AMP. It is an activator of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, but resistant to degradation by cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase. Chemical name: Adenosine, 8-bromo-, cyclic 3',5'-(hydrogen phosphate) (12 Dec 1998) |
| arteriovenous shunt | <anatomy, surgery> A direct connection between an artery and vein. Most often due to the surgical joining of an artery and a vein under the skin for the purpose of haemodialysis. Larger arteriovenous shunts can create significant extra workload on the heart since arterial blood is diverted back to the venous circulation before it has a chance to deliver nutrients and oxygen to the body tissues.

| A-V shunt | <anatomy, surgery> A direct connection between an artery and vein. Most often due to the surgical joining of an artery and a vein under the skin for the purpose of haemodialysis. Larger arteriovenous shunts can create significant extra workload on the heart since arterial blood is diverted back to the venous circulation before it has a chance to deliver nutrients and oxygen to the body tissues.

| Blalock shunt | Subclavian artery to pulmonary artery shunt to increase pulmonary circulation in cyanotic heart disease with decreased pulmonary flow. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Blalock-Taussig shunt | A palliative subclavian artery to pulmonary artery anastomosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Rapoport-Luebering shunt | Part of the glycolytic pathway characteristic of human erythrocytes in which 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-P2Gri) is formed as an intermediate between 1,3-P2Gri and 3-phosphoglycerate; 2,3-P2Gri is an important regulator of the affinity of haemoglobin for oxygen.

| ventriculoperitoneal shunt | <procedure> A surgical procedure to insert a communicating catheter to relieve intracranial pressure caused by hydrocephalus. In this procedure the cerebrospinal fluid is shunted from the ventricles of the brain into the peritoneal cavity via a surgically implanted tube. (27 Sep 1997) |
| Glenn shunt | A means of palliating cyanotic heart disease by anastomosing the right pulmonary artery to the superior vena cava. Synonym: cavopulmonary shunt, Glenn shunt. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cavopulmonary shunt | A means of palliating cyanotic heart disease by anastomosing the right pulmonary artery to the superior vena cava. Synonym: cavopulmonary shunt, Glenn shunt. (05 Mar 2000) |
| renal-splenic venous shunt | Anastomosis of the splenic vein to the left renal vein, usually end-to-side, for control of portal hypertension. Synonym: renal-splenic venous shunt. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vp shunt | <procedure> A surgical procedure to insert a communicating catheter to relieve intracranial pressure caused by hydrocephalus. In this procedure the cerebrospinal fluid is shunted from the ventricles of the brain into the peritoneal cavity via a surgically implanted tube. (27 Sep 1997) |
| reversed shunt | Right-to-left shunt that had previously been a left-to-right shunt; rarely the opposite. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mesocaval shunt | Anastomosis of the side of the superior mesenteric vein to the proximal end of the divided inferior vena cava, for control of portal hypertension, h-shunt anastomosis of the inferior vena cava to the superior mesenteric vein, using a synthetic conduit or autologous vein.
