| 2',3'-cyclic-nucleotide phosphodiesterases | <enzyme> Nucleoside-2',3'-cyclic phosphate nucleotidohydrolase. Enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of the 2'- or 3'- phosphate bonds of 2',3'-cyclic nucleotides. Also hydrolyzes nucleoside monophosphates. Registry number: EC 3.1.4.- (12 Dec 1998) |
| 3',5'-cyclic-nucleotide phosphodiesterase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of cyclic AMP to form adenosine 5'-phosphate. The enzyme is widely distributed in animal tissue and controls the level of intracellular cyclic AMP. Also acts on 3',5'-cyclic imp and 3',5'-cyclic GMP. Chemical name: 3',5'-Cyclic-nucleotide 5'-nucleotidohydrolase Registry number: EC 3.1.4.17 (12 Dec 1998) |
| adjustment disorders | Maladaptive reactions to identifiable psychosocial stressors occurring within a short time after onset of the stressor. They are manifested by either impairment in social or occupational functioning or by symptoms (depression, anxiety, etc.) that are in excess of a normal and expected reaction to the stressor. (12 Dec 1998) |
| affective disorders | A class of mental disorder's characterised by a disturbance in mood. (05 Mar 2000) |
| affective disorders, psychotic | Disorders in which the essential feature is a severe disturbance in mood (depression, anxiety, elation, and excitement) accompanied by psychotic symptoms such as delusions, hallucinations, gross impairment in reality testing, etc. (12 Dec 1998) |
| alcohol-related disorders | Mental disorders related or resulting from abuse or mis-use of alcohol. (12 Dec 1998) |
| amphetamine-related disorders | Disorders related or resulting from use of amphetamines. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anxiety disorders | Disorders in which anxiety (persistent feelings of apprehension, tension, or uneasiness) is the predominant disturbance. (12 Dec 1998) |
| articulation disorders | Disorders of speech sound production characterised by substitution, omission, and distortion of sounds. (12 Dec 1998) |
| auditory perceptual disorders | Disorders of auditory perception manifesting as difficulties with auditory memory, speech perception and sound localization. Lesions are usually in the temporal lobe. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bowel disorders and fibre | High fibre diets help delay the progression of diverticulosis and, at least, reduce the bouts of diverticulitis. In many cases, it helps reduce the symptoms of the Irritable Bowel Syndrome ( IBS ). It is generally accepted that a diet high in fibre is protective, or at least reduces the incidence, of colon polyps and colon cancer. (12 Dec 1998) |
