| combined fat-and carbohydrate-induced hyperlipaemia | Hyperlipoproteinaemia characterised by increased plasma levels of chylomicrons, VLDL, pre-beta-lipoproteins, and triglycerides, and slight rise of cholesterol on a normal diet, with beta-lipoproteins normal; may be accompanied by bouts of abdominal pain, hepatosplenomegaly, susceptibility to atherosclerosis, and abnormal glucose tolerance; probably autosomal recessive inheritance. Synonym: combined fat-and carbohydrate-induced hyperlipaemia, familial hyperchylomicronaemia with hyperprebetalipoproteinaemia, mixed hyperlipaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| contact induced spreading | The response in which contact between two epithelial cells leads to a stabilised contact and the increased spreading of the cells so that the area covered is greater than that covered by the two cells in isolation. (18 Nov 1997) |
| corticosteroid-induced acne | The exacerbation of acne after corticosteroid use is a common drug reaction seen in adolescents. Lessening the dose of the corticosteroid will often diminish this effect. (27 Sep 1997) |
| corticosteroid-induced glaucoma | <ophthalmology> Glaucoma caused by a hereditary predisposition in which local instillation of eyedrops containing corticosteroid causes increased intraocular pressure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| corticosteroid-induced striae | <dermatology> High-dose glucocorticoid therapy causes atrophy of the skin and a failure of the normal regenerative process. Purple striae often develop over the individual's trunk or thighs. The colour fades when the drug is stopped, but the dermal atrophy remains. (27 Sep 1997) |
| hearing loss, noise-induced | Hearing loss from exposure to noise. The loss is often in the frequency range 4000-6000 hertz. (12 Dec 1998) |
| heart arrest, induced | Arrest of the contraction of the myocardium by the use of cardioplegic chemical compounds (cardioplegic solutions) or of cold during heart surgery. (12 Dec 1998) |
| SA-induced protein kinase | <enzyme> 48-kD map kinase isolated from nicotiana tabacum; genbank u94192 Registry number: EC 2.7.10.- Synonym: p48 sip kinase, salicylic acid-induced protein kinase, sipk enzyme (26 Jun 1999) |
| hepatitis, chronic, drug-induced | An inflammatory disease of the liver, lasting six months or more, and caused by an adverse drug effect. The adverse effect may result from a direct toxic effect of a drug or metabolite, or an idiosyncratic response to a drug or metabolite. The clinical and histological changes can mimic viral or autoimmune hepatitis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| psychoses, substance-induced | Psychotic organic mental disorders resulting from the toxic effect of drugs and chemicals or other harmful substance. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hyperthermia, induced | Abnormally high temperature intentionally induced in living things regionally or whole body. It is most often induced by radiation (heat waves, infra-red), ultrasound, or drugs. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hypothermia, induced | Abnormally low body temperature intentionally induced in warm-blooded animals by artificial means. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sleep-induced apnea | Apnea resulting from failure of the respiratory centre to stimulate adequate respiration during sleep; divided into respiratory pause (cessation of air flow for less than 10 seconds) and apneic pause (cessation of air flow greater than 10 seconds). (05 Mar 2000) |
| stress induced protein | <molecular biology> Alternative and preferable name for heat-shock proteins of eukaryotic cells, which emphasises that the same small group of proteins is stimulated both by heat and various other stresses. (18 Nov 1997) |
