| 영문 | renal cell carcinoma | 한글 | 콩팥세포암종 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 콩팥에 생긴 원시콩팥조직에서 발생한 암. 주로 원시세뇨관조직에서 발생한다. 대표적인 세포조직형은 염색시 세포질이 맑게 비어보이는 맑은세포암종이다. 치료는 수술과 항암화학요법이며 아주 드물지만 저절로 낫는 경우도 있는 것으로 보고되어 있다. |

| 영문 | squamous cell carcinoma | 한글 | 편평세포암종 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 편평세포 기원의 암으로서, 편평세포가 있는 어떤 곳에서든 발생가능함. 따라서 식도암, 피부암, 폐암, 자궁암 등이 여기에 해당된다. 특히 피부암은 많은 자외선조사에 의해 생기는 광선각화증에서 발생가능하다. 병리조직학적 특성으로서 각질을 생성한다. |

| blood volume | Volume of circulating blood. It is the sum of the plasma volume and erythrocyte volume. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| blood volume determination | Method for determining the circulating blood volume by introducing a known quantity of foreign substance into the blood and determining its concentration some minutes later when thorough mixing has occurred. From these two values the blood volume can be calculated by dividing the quantity of injected material by its concentration in the blood at the time of uniform mixing. Generally expressed as cubic centimeters or liters per kilogram of body weight. (12 Dec 1998) |
| blood volume nomogram | A nomogram used to predict blood volume on the basis of the individual's weight and height. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiac volume | The volume of the heart, usually relating to the volume of blood contained within it at various periods of the cardiac cycle. The amount of blood ejected from a ventricle at each beat is stroke volume. (12 Dec 1998) |
| maximal expiratory flow-volume curve | <chest medicine> Curves depicting maximal expiratory flow in liters/second at each point of lung inflation (expressed in liters or percentage of forced vital capacity) during a forced vital capacity determination. Common abbreviation is mefv. (12 Dec 1998) |
| partial volume | The actual volume occupied by one species of molecule or particle in a solution; the reciprocal of the density of the molecule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| residual volume | The volume of air remaining in the lungs at the end of a maximal expiration. Common abbreviation is rv. (12 Dec 1998) |
| volume | 1. A roll; a scroll; a written document rolled up for keeping or for use, after the manner of the ancients. "The papyrus, and afterward the parchment, was joined together [by the ancients] to form one sheet, and then rolled upon a staff into a volume (volumen)." (Encyc. Brit) 2. Hence, a collection of printed sheets bound together, whether containing a single work, or a part of a work, or more than one work; a book; a tome; especially, that part of an extended work which is bound up together in one cover; as, a work in four volumes. "An odd volume of a set of books bears not the value of its proportion to the set." (Franklin) 4. Anything of a rounded or swelling form resembling a roll; a turn; a convolution; a coil. "So glides some trodden serpent on the grass, And long behind wounded volume trails." (Dryden) "Undulating billows rolling their silver volumes." (W. Irving) 4. Dimensions; compass; space occupied, as measured by cubic units, that is, cubic inches, feet, yards, etc.; mass; bulk; as, the volume of an elephant's body; a volume of gas. 5. Amount, fullness, quantity, or calibre of voice or tone. <chemistry> Atomic volume, Molecular volume, the ratio of the atomic and molecular weights divided respectively by the specific gravity of the substance in question. <physics> Specific volume, the quotient obtained by dividing unity by the specific gravity; the reciprocal of the specific gravity. It is equal (when the specific gravity is referred to water at 4 deg C. As a standard) to the number of cubic centimeters occupied by one gram of the substance. Origin: F, from L. Volumen a roll of writing, a book, volume, from volvere, volutum, to roll. See Voluble. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| volume averaging | In computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, the effect of expressing the average density of a voxel as a pixel in the image; the greater the slice thickness, the more averaging is necessary, with loss in density resolution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| volume-controlled respirator | A respirator that provides a predetermined volume of gases during inhalation, with the pressure required to move that volume remaining variable, depending upon resistance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| volume element | See: voxel. (05 Mar 2000) |
| volume index | An indication of the relative size (e.g., volume) of erythrocytes, calculated as follows: haematocrit value, expressed as per cent of normal ÷ red blood cell count, expressed as per cent of normal = volume index. (05 Mar 2000) |
| volume loading rate | The rate of raw materials put into a fermenter or aerobic digester, expressed in terms of material weight per unit volume per unit time. (09 Oct 1997) |
| volume substitute | Infusion of cell-free or volume-expanding fluids such as dextran for replacement of fluid lost from the circulation as part of the prevention or treatment of circulatory shock. (05 Mar 2000) |
| volume unit | A unit of a logarithmic scale for expressing the power level of a complex audio-frequency electrical signal, such as that transmitting music or speech; the power in volume unit's equals the decibels of power above a reference level of one milliwatt, as measured with an appropriate meter.
