| 영문 | Electric convulsive therapy(ECT) | 한글 | 전기경련요법 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 뇌에 전기 자극을 주어 인위적으로 경련을 유발함으로써 정신 병을 치료하는 방법. 전기쇼크요법(electroshock therapy)이라고도 한다. 1938년에 이탈리아의 체를레티와 비니에 의해 시작되었다. 작용기전은 확실치 않으나 뇌의 신진대사, 생화학 및 효소 등에 변화를 일으킨다는 생물학적, 생화학적 학설이 유력하다. 적응증으로 가장 효과적인 병은 우울증으로 특히 여성에서 갱년기에 호발하는 갱년기 우울증, 우울증과 조증(아주 기분이 좋은 상태가 지속되는 정신병)이 일정한 주기를 두고 반복하는 조울증에 잘 쓰이며, 80~90%에서 효과가 있다. |

| pulmonary cone | The left or anterosuperior, smooth-walled portion of the cavity of the right ventricle of the heart, which begins at the supraventricular crest and terminates in the pulmonary trunk. Synonym: arterial cone, pulmonary cone, pulmonary conus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| silver cone | Pure silver cone with standard conical shape, used with cement to obturate dental root canals. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nerve growth cone | <cell biology> A specialised region at the tip of a growing neurite that is responsible for sensing the local environment and moving toward the neuron's target cell. Growth cones are hand shaped, with several long filopodia that differentially adhere to surfaces in the embryo. Growth cones can be sensitive to several guidance cues, for example: surface adhesiveness, growth factors, neurotransmitters and electric fields (galvanotropism). (18 Nov 1997) |
| drift cyclotron loss cone instabilities | (DCLC) This is an electrostatic microinstability (frequencies at harmonics of the ion cyclotron frequency) which is of major concern in small mirror devices. Mode is driven by radial gradients in the electron density, and causes loss of ions due to non-conservation of magnetic moment (see adiabatic invariant) as they interact with the mode, and are dispersed in velocity space into the loss cone. Stabilisation is accomplished by increasing the plasma size and by partially filling the loss cone with a continuous extermal warm plasma stream. (09 Oct 1997) |
| icecream cone | <radiology> Ball of icecream head of malleus, cone body of incus (12 Dec 1998) |
| implantation cone | <cell biology> Tapering region between a neuron's cell body and its axon. This region is responsible for summating the graded inputs from the dendrites and producing action potentials if the threshold is exceeded. (12 Mar 1998) |
| inverted cone bur | A rotary cutting instrument in the shape of a truncated cone with the smaller end attached to the shaft; generally used for entering carious pits or creating undercuts in cavity preparations. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ocular cone | The cone of light in the interior of the eyeball with the base formed by the rays entering through the pupil and the apex focused on the retina. (05 Mar 2000) |
| outer cone fibre | Located between the inner segment and the cell body. (05 Mar 2000) |
| theca interna cone | The conical thickening of thecal cells of an ovarian follicle with its apex pointed toward the surface. (05 Mar 2000) |
| elastic cone | Thicker lower portion of the elastic membrane of the larynx, extending between the cricoid cartilage and the vocal ligaments, the latter actually being a thickening of the free, superior margin of the conus elasticus. Synonym: cricovocal membrane, elastic cone. Synonym: cricothyroid ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| twin cone | Two retinal cone's fused together. (05 Mar 2000) |
| l-cone | Long wavelength sensitive cone (red cone). (05 Mar 2000) |
