| 영문 | venereal disease, sexually transmitted diseases | 한글 | 성병 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 보편적으로 성교 또는 성기접촉에 의해 걸리는 접촉 전염병으로 매독, 임질, 무른궤양, 샅굴육아종 등을 말한다. 치료는 원인균에 따른 적절한 항생요법이다. |

|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 매독균의 reagin에 대한 항체. 매독의 선별검사로 사용되며 매독 치료에 대한 반응 여부와 치료효과 판정에도 사용된다. 매독외에도 전신성홍반성낭창, 류마티스관절염 등에서도 양성으로 나타날 수 있다. |

| 영문 | hemolytic disease of newborn | 한글 | 신생아용혈병 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 신생아에서 적혈구가 비정상적으로 많이 파괴되는 병으로 태아적모구증(erythroblastosis fetalis)와 같은 뜻으로 쓰인다. 이것은 어머니에게서 생산된 신생아나 태아의 적혈구에 대한 항체가 태반을 건너와서 태아의 적혈구와 결합하여서 생기는 용혈성빈혈을 이르는 말. 즉 신생아나 태아의 적혈구의 항체가 어머니의 몸에서 생산이 되고 이것이 태반을 통해서 태아에게 넘어가서 태아의 적혈구와 결합을 하고 이 항체와 결합한 적혈구는 파괴가 되어서 빈혈이 생긴 것을 태아적모구증이라고 한다. 이것은 Rh 적모구증(Rh erythroblastosis)와 ABO 적모구증(ABO erythroblastosis)로 나눌 수가 있다. |

| brain neoplasm | Neoplasms of the part of the central nervous system contained within the cranium. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| brain oedema | Brain swelling due to increased volume of the extravascular compartment from the uptake of water in the neuropile and white matter. See: brain swelling. Synonym: brain oedema. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brain potential | <physiology> The electrical charge of the brain as compared to a point on the body; the potential may be steady (DC potential) or may fluctuate at specific frequencies when recorded against time, giving rise to the electroencephalogram. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brain sand | Small calcareous concretions in the stroma of the pineal and other central nervous system tissues. Synonym: acervulus, brain sand, psammoma bodies. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brain-specific kinase | <enzyme> Expressed specifically in brain; member of the eph/elk receptor-like kinase family; mw 105 kD; may represent murine homolog of chicken cek7 receptor-like kinase; amino acid sequence given in first source Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: bsk tyrosine kinase (26 Jun 1999) |
| Brain's reflex | Extension of the arm of a hemiplegic patient when turned prone as if on all fours. Synonym: Brain's reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brain tissue transplantation | Transference of brain tissue, either from a foetus or from a born individual, between individuals of the same species or between individuals of different species. (12 Dec 1998) |
| brain tumour | <oncology, tumour> May be subdivided into primary brain tumours and the more common, secondary brain tumours. Primary brain tumours (for example astrocytoma, craniopharyngioma, glioma, ependymoma, neuroglioma, oligodendroglioma, glioblastoma multiforme, meningioma, medulloblastoma) arise from the uncontrolled proliferation of cells within the brain. Secondary brain tumours occur from the spread of cancer into the brain from a distant cancerous organ (metastasis). Common symptoms of a brain tumour include headache, nausea, vomiting, seizures, change in mentation, neurologic symptoms and loss of memory. (17 Dec 1997) |
| brain tumour calcifications | <radiology> Oligodendroglioma (90%), craniopharyngioma (70%), ependymoma (60%), choroid plexus papilloma (25%), low-grade astrocytoma (20%), meningioma (10%), others, dermoid, pineal tumours, lipoma, caveat: a calcified intraparenchymal tumour is most likely to be an astrocytoma due to higher overall incidence relative to other tumours mentioned above.

| brain tumours | Can be malignant or benign and can occur at any age. Primary brain tumours initially form in the brain tissue. Secondary brain tumours are cancers that have spread to the brain tissue (metastasized) from tissue elsewhere in the body. (12 Dec 1998) |
| brain wave | Colloquialism for electroencephalogram. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brain wave complex | A specific combination of fast and slow electroencephalographic activity that recurs frequently enough to be identified as a discrete phenomenon. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brain wave cycle | The complete upward and downward excursion of a single wave, complex, or impulse as seen on an electroencephalogram. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brain wave test | <investigation> A diagnostic test which measures the electrical activity of the brain (brain waves) using high sensitive recording equipment attached to the scalp by fine electrodes. Commonly employed in the evaluation of neurological disease (for example seizures, epilepsy, etc.). Acronym: EEG (13 Nov 1997) |
