| 영문 | carpal tunnel syndrome | 한글 | 손목굴증후군 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 손목에는 아홉 개의 힘줄과 한 개의 신경이 통과하는 굴이 있는데 이곳을 손목굴이라 하고, 이곳을 지나는 신경이 눌리면 새깨손가락을 제외한 네 손가락이 아프고 저린 증상이다. 이것을 손목굴증후군이라 한다. 검사 방법으로는 근육 검사와 신경전달검사가 있다. 심할 때는 아침이나 저녁에 아파서 잠을 깨고 손목뿐만 아니라 어깨까지 아프다. 손목을 굽히고 있으면 통증이 심하다. 손목을 반복적으로 사용하는 운전자, 가정주부, 악기 연주자, 공장라인의 근로자, 컴퓨터 사용자, 목수가 해당된다. 손바닥뼈가 깨지거나 넘어지면서 손바닥으로 짚었을 때도 발생하며 드물게 진동하는 공구를 사용해도 나타나기도 한다. 임산부, 통풍, 류마티스 관절염, 갑상샘 기능 저하증, 당뇨병 등이 있을 때 이런 증상이 올 수 있다. 여자에게 더 많고 주로 자주 쓰는 손목이 해당된다. 심할 때는 손목에 땅콩만한 크기로 부어오른다. 누르면 안으로 쑥 들어가기도 하고 다시 움직이면 튀어나온다. 손목뼈 여덟 개 중에 반달뼈라 불리는 작은뼈의 인대가 이완되어 생긴다. 통증을 감소하는 치료로 부목, 얼음찜질, 이뇨제, 항생제를 사용하기도 하며 통증이 계속되면 코르티코스테로이드 호르몬을 손목부에 주사하여 통증을 줄인다. 부작용으로는 재발률이 높다. |

| 영문 | severe acute respiratory syndrome(SARS) | 한글 | 중증급성호흡증후군 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 중국 광동 지역에서 가장 먼저 발생한 전염성호흡기병으로 세계보건기구(WHO)에서 ‘중증급성호흡증후군(SARS)'으로 명명했다. 섭씨 38도 이상의 고열과 기침, 호흡곤란, 저산소증, X선상의 폐렴증상 중 하나 이상의 증상이 나타나며, 두통, 근육통, 식욕부진, 피로감, 발진, 설사를 동반할 수 있다. 초기 증상은 감기와 비슷하지만 폐렴으로 발전하면 치명적일 수 있다. 현재 밝혀진 감염경로는 환자가 재채기나 기침할 때 내뿜는 침방울이고, 이것이 다른 사람의 호흡기로 들어갈 때 전염된다. 침방울이 전달되는 거리는 보통 1m로 보고 있다. 공기를 통해 전염이 가능하다는 주장이 제기됐지만 아직 확인되지 않았다. 원인균은 변종 코로나바이러스로 밝혀졌다. |

| 영문 | asphycitic syndrome | 한글 | 질식증후군 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 호흡기중의 산소결핍에 의한 생명정지의 절박한 상태, 또는 실제로 정지가 일어난 상태, 고이산화탄소증과 저산소증 혹은 무산소증 등이 동반된다. 외계 폐의 고통이 두절되어 폐의 호흡작용이 장애되는 것(외질식)과 가스나 약제에 의해 생체내 조직의 가스교환이 방해를 받는 것(내질식)이 있다. 일반적으로 외질식을 가리키는 경우가 많다. 원인으로서는 코나 입 등 호흡입구의 폐색, 음식물이나 이물에 의한 기도폐색, 목조임, 물 또는 분비물 등이 기도로 들어가는 것, 약물 또는 파상풍에 의한 호흡근마비, 매몰 등 외력에 의한 호흡운동의 저지, 공기 중의 산소부족 및 유독가스의 흡입 등을 들 수 있다. |

| 영문 | nephrotic syndrome | 한글 | 콩팥증후군 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 콩팥의 토리이상에 의한 단백질손실이 주원인인 병이다. 그 정의는 성인의 요단백량(소변에 섞여 나오는 단백질의 양. 대개 정상인에서는 나오지 않거나, 혹은 아주 소량이 나올 뿐임)이 하루 3.5mg이상, 또한 소아에서는 혈중 알부민농도가 2.5mg이하, 하룻동안 소변으로 나오는 요단백량을 시간당 계산했을 때 시간당 40mg이상인 경우이다. 따라서 콩팥증후군이란 위의 정의에 합당하기만 하면 모두 해당되므로, 여러 가지 원인에 의한 콩팥이상으로서 단백질의 지나친 배출을 나타내는 질병의 집합체를 뜻한다. 대개 증상은 지나친 혈중단백질의 감소로 인한 부종, 그리고 이차적인 증상으로 발생한 고지질혈증, 감염감수성의 증가, 고혈압 등이다. 치료와 예후는 콩팥증후군을 나타내는 각 원인에 따라 다르나, 대개 소아에 발생한 경우 스테로이드제재에 의한 치료효과가 높다. |

| syndrome, irritable bowel | A common gastrointestinal disorder (also called spastic colitis, mucus colitis or nervous colon syndrome), ibs is an abnormal condition of gut contractions (motility) characterised by abdominal pain, bloating, mucous in stools, and irregular bowel habits with more than alternating diarrhoea and constipation, symtoms that tend to be chronic and wax and wane over the years. Although ibs can cause chronic recurrent discomfort, it does not lead to any serious organ problems. Diagnosis usually involves more than excluding other illnesses. Treatment is directed toward relief of symptoms and includes high fibre diet, exercise, relaxation techniques, avoidance of caffeine, milk products and sweeteners, and medications. (12 Dec 1998) |

| syndrome, joint hypermobility | See Syndrome, hypermobility. (12 Dec 1998) |
| syndrome, kartagener's | The trio of sinusitis, bronchitis and situs inversus (lateral reversal of the position all organs in the chest and abdomen with the heart and stomach on the right, the liver on the left, etc. Opposite or inverted from their usual position). (12 Dec 1998) |
| syndrome, kinky hair | Genetic disorder with fragile twisted ( kinky ) hair and progressive deterioration of the brain. Due to an error in copper transport resulting in copper deficiency. Females are carriers and their sons with the gene have the disease. Also known as menkes syndrome. (12 Dec 1998) |
| syndrome, klinefelter | The most common single cause of hypogonadism (underfunction of the gonads) and infertility in men, klinefelter syndrome is due to a chromosome abnormality with xxy (plus additional x or y chromosomes). It affects about 1 in 500 males and results in small testes (hypogenitalism), underproduction of testosterone and infertility (hypogonadism), and a long-limbed, long-trunked, relatively tall, slim build. Klinefelter boys tend to have learning and/or behavioural problems. at adolescence there is little growth of facial hair and a third of boys develop gynaecomastia (enlargement of the male breast). Named for the physician harry klinefelter who with e.c. Reifenstein, jr. And fuller albright (the founder of modern endocrinology) described the condition in 1942 long before its chromosomal basis became known. (12 Dec 1998) |
| syndrome, klippel-feil | The combination of short neck, low hairline at the nape of the neck and limited movement of the head. It is due to a defect in the early development of the spinal column in the neck (the cervival vertebrae). The condition is also called the klippel-feil sequence (referring to an embryologic or early developmental sequence of events). (12 Dec 1998) |
| syndrome, klippel-trenaunay-weber | A congenital malformation syndrome characterised by the triad of asymmetric limb hypertrophy, haemangiomata, and nevi. Asymmetric limb hypertrophy is enlargement of one limb and not the corresponding limb on the other side, the enlarged limb being 3 times more likely to be a leg than an arm in ktw; and the limb enlargement is of bone as well as soft tissue. The haemangiomas, abnormal nests of blood vessels that proliferate inappropriately and excessively, cover a remarkable range from small innocuous capillary haemangiomas ( strawberry marks ) to huge cavernous haemangiomas. The nevi are pigmented moles on the skin; in ktw there are often also dark linear streaks on the skin, streaks due to too much pigment. There can be other abnormalities but the triad is the consistent clinical centrepiece of the disease. most persons with ktw have an enlarged leg and do relatively well without treatment or, for example, with only compression from an elastic stocking. Skin ulcers and other skin problems can occur over the swollen leg. Usually, the treatment is conservative. Surgery is almost never needed. The only possible exceptions are the very rare situations in which the leg reaches gigantic proportions or secondary clotting difficulties arise (due to trapping and destruction of blood platelets in a huge haemangioma). Then, amputation may become necessary. The cause of ktw syndrome is unknown. (12 Dec 1998) |
| syndrome, lennnox | See Syndrome, Lennox-Gastaut. (12 Dec 1998) |
| syndrome, lennox-gastaut | A severe form of epilepsy that usually begins in early childhood and is characterised by frequent seizures of multiple types, mental impairment, and a particular brain wave pattern (a slow spike-and-wave pattern). The seizures that are notoriously hard to treat and may lead to falls and injuries can be reduced in frequency by treatment with lamotrigone, a chemically novel antiepileptic drug. The syndrome is named for w.g. Lennox and h. Gastaut who described it. (12 Dec 1998) |
| syndrome, li-fraumeni | A family tendency to cancers due to a mutation in a gene that normally serves to curb cancer: the p53 tumour-suppressor gene. Named after drs. Fred li and joe fraumeni. (12 Dec 1998) |
| syndrome, marfan | Inherited disorder with long fingers and toes, dislocation of the lens, and aortic wall weakness and aneurysm. (it has been suggested that abraham lincoln had marfan syndrome.) (12 Dec 1998) |
| syndrome, martin-bell | Better known as the fragile X syndrome, the most common heritable form of mental retardation. Fragile x syndrome is due to mutation (changes) at the fragile x site and so perforce is x-linked (carried on the x chromosome). Although it is usually more severe in males than females, the syndrome is due to a dynamic mutation (a trinucleotide repeat) that can change in length and hence in severity from generation to generation, from person to person, and even within a given person. The fragile x syndrome is known as the martin-bell syndrome in honor of their discovery of it in 1943. (12 Dec 1998) |
| syndrome, masa | MASA stands for mental retardation, aphasia, shuffling gait, and adducted thumbs. Features of the syndrome include (1) neurologically: mental retardation and aphasia (lack of speech); (2) limbs: adducted (clasped) thumbs, absent extensor pollicis longus and/or brevis muscles to the thumb, shuffling gait, and leg spasticity; (3) growth: small body size; (4) skeleton: lumbar lordosis (sway back). Masa is inherited as an x-linked trait and so affects mainly boys. Alternative names for masa include clasped thumb and mental retardation, congenital clasped thumb with mental retardation, adducted thumb with mental retardation, and the gareis-mason syndrome. (12 Dec 1998) |
| syndrome, mucocutaneous lymph node | A syndrome of unknown origin, mainly affecting young children, causing fever, reddening of the eyes more than (conjunctivitis), lips and mucous membranes of the mouth, ulcerative gum disease (gingivitis), swollen glands in the neck (cervical more than lymphadenopathy), and a rash that is raised and bright red (maculoerythematous) in a glove-and-sock fashion over the skin of the hands and feet which becomes hard, swollen (edematous), and peels off.

| Alpert syndrome | <syndrome> A usually inherited disorder characterised by premature closing of the cranial suture lines resulting in a peaked shaped head and abnormal facial appearance. Since it is usually autosomal dominant one or both parents also have the disorder. Surgery is used to correct skull and facial abnormalities. Inheritance: autosomal dominant. (27 Sep 1997) |
| Alport's syndrome | <syndrome> Progressive microscopic haematuria leading to chronic renal failure earlier in males, accompanied by defects such as sensorineural hearing loss, lenticonus, and maculopathy; autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, and X-linked forms known. (05 Mar 2000) |
