|---|---|
| CIDP | Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Poly(radiculo)neuropathy |
| HMSN | Hereditary Motor-Sensory Neuropathy |
| AION | anterior ischemic optic neuropathy |
| AN | acanthosis nigricans; acne neonatorum; acoustic neuroma; adult, normal; ala nasi; amyl nitrate; aneu... |
| peripheral aneurysm | A saclike aneurysm springing from one side of an artery, an aneurysm of one of the smaller branches of an artery. (05 Mar 2000) |

| peripheral anterior synechia | Adhesion of the iris to the posterior surface of the cornea in the angle of the anterior chamber; associated with angle-closure glaucoma. Synonym: peripheral anterior synechia. Origin: G. Gonia, angle, + synechis, holding together (05 Mar 2000) |
| peripheral arteriosclerosis | Arteriosclerosis in any of the vessels beyond the aorta; most often refers to the lower extremities. (05 Mar 2000) |
| peripheral blood stem cell transplantation | A procedure that is similar to bone marrow transplantation. Doctors remove healthy immature cells (stem cells) from a patient's blood and store them before the patient receives high-dose chemotherapy and possibly radiation therapy to destroy the leukaemia cells. The stem cells are then returned to the patient, where they can produce new blood cells to replace cells destroyed by the treatment. (12 Dec 1998) |
| peripheral cataract | A cataract in which the opacity affects the cortex of the lens. Synonym: peripheral cataract. (05 Mar 2000) |
| peripheral chemoreceptor | The chemoreceptor's in the carotid and aortic bodies that are stimulated by chemical changes in the composition of the blood such as hypoxia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| peripheral dysostosis | Dysostosis of the metacarpals and metatarsals, accompanied by variable facial features; possibly autosomal dominant inheritance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| peripheral facial paralysis | A condition that involves the facial nerve (VII cranial nerve) and results in the paralysis of one side of the face. Bell's (facial nerve palsy) can be differentiated from a central (stroke) deficit by the inability to raise the eyebrow on the affected side. (27 Sep 1997) |
| peripheral glare | Glare occurring when the surrounding brightness is greater than the brightness of the object of attention. (05 Mar 2000) |
| peripheral lymphoid tissue | Secondary lymphoid tissue, not necessarily located peripherally. See: lymphoid tissue. (18 Nov 1997) |
| peripheral membrane protein | <protein> Membrane proteins that are bound to the surface of the membrane and not integrated into the hydrophobic region. Usually soluble and were originally thought to bind to integral proteins by ionic and other weak forces (and could therefore be removed by high ionic strength, for example). However, it is now clear that some peripheral membrane proteins are covalently linked to molecules that are part of the membrane bilayer (see acylated proteins and glypiation) and that there are others that fit the original definition but are perhps more appropriately considered proteins of the cytoskeleton (e.g. Band 4.1 and spectrin) or extracellular matrix (e.g. Fibronectin). (18 Nov 1997) |
| peripheral nerves | The nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord, including the autonomic, cranial, and spinal nerves. Peripheral nerves contain non-neuronal cells and connective tissue as well as axons. The connective tissue layers include, from the outside to the inside, the epineurium, the perineurium, and the endoneurium. (12 Dec 1998) |
| peripheral nervous system | One of the two major divisions of the nervous system. Nerves in the PNS connect the central nervous system (CNS) with sensory organs, other organs, muscles, bloodvessels and glands. (22 May 1997) |
| peripheral nervous system agents | Drugs that act principally at one or more sites within the peripheral neuroeffector systems, the autonomic system, and motor nerve-skeletal system. (12 Dec 1998) |
| peripheral nervous system diseases | Diseases of the peripheral nervous system, including disorders of the peripheral autonomic system, the cranial nerves, and the spinal nerves and roots, but not including neuromuscular and spinal cord diseases. (12 Dec 1998) |
| peripheral neuropathy |
Damage to the long nerves radiating from the spine to the arms and legs.
