| enterochromaffin cells | Group of basal granular cells of the gut whose granules stain readily with silver and chromium salts. The cells secrete serotonin, substance p, and enkephalins. There are three types: gastric (antral mucosa), duodenal, and intestinal. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| enterochromaffin-like cells | Irregular-shaped argyrophilic cells which produce histamine, chromogranin a/pancreastatin, and an as yet unidentified peptide hormone. They are the predominant endocrine cell type of the oxyntic (acid-producing) mucosa of the stomach. Ecl cells respond to gastrin by releasing their secretory products and this source of histamine acts as the positive paracrine stimulator of the release of hydrochloric acid from the parietal cell. (12 Dec 1998) |
| enterocleisis | Occlusion of the lumen of the alimentary canal. Origin: entero-+ G. Kleisis, a closing (05 Mar 2000) |
| enteroclysis | Synonym: high enema. 2. In radiography of the small intestine, filling by introduction of contrast medium through a catheter advanced into the duodenum or jejunum from above. Origin: entero-+ G. Klysis, a washing out (05 Mar 2000) |
| enterococcaemia | A blood-borne disease, occasionally leading to septicaemia, caused by members of the group D streptococci, Enterococcus faecalis or Enterococcus faecium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| enterococcus | A genus of gram-positive, coccoid bacteria consisting of organisms causing variable haemolysis that are normal flora of the intestinal tract. Previously thought to be a member of the genus streptococcus, it is now recognised as a separate genus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| enterococcus faecalis | A species of gram-positive, coccoid bacteria commonly isolated from clinical specimens and the human intestinal tract. most strains are nonhemolytic. (12 Dec 1998) |
| enterococcus faecium | A species of gram-positive, coccoid bacteria whose organisms are normal flora of the intestinal tract. Unlike enterococcus faecalis, this species may produce an alpha-haemolytic reaction on blood agar and is unable to utilise pyruvic acid as an energy source. (12 Dec 1998) |
| enterocoele | <anatomy> A perivisceral cavity which arises as an outgrowth or outgrowths from the digestive tract; distinguished from a schizocoele, which arises by a splitting of the mesoblast of the embryo. Origin: Gr. An intestine + a hollow. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| enterocolitis | <pathology> Inflammation involving both the small intestine and the colon. See: enteritis. (18 Nov 1997) |
| enterocolitis, crohn's | Crohn's disease involving both the small and large intestines. Crohn's is a chronic inflammatory disease of the intestine primarily affecting the small and large intestines but which can occur anywhere in the digestive system between the mouth and the anus. Named after Burrill Crohn who described the disease in 1932. The disease usually affects persons in their teens or early twenties. It tends to be a chronic, recurrent condition with periods of remission and exacerbation. In the early stages, Crohn's disease causes small scattered shallow crater-like areas (erosions) called apthous ulcers in the inner surface of the bowel. With time, deeper and larger ulcers develop, causing scarring and stiffness of the bowel and the bowel becomes increasingly narrowed, leading to obstruction. Deep ulcers can puncture holes in the bowel wall, leading to infection in the abdominal cavity (peritonitis) and in adjacent organs. Abdominal pain, diarrhoea, vomiting, fever, and weight loss can be symptoms. Crohn's disease can be associated with reddish tender skin nodules, and inflammation of the joints, spine, eyes, and liver. Diagnosis is by barium enema, barium X-ray of the small bowel, and colonoscopy. Treatment includes medications for inflammation, immune suppression, antibiotics, or surgery. (The disease is also called regional enteritis and granulomatous enteritis). (12 Dec 1998) |
| enterocolitis, pseudomembranous | Acute inflammation of the small and large intestinal mucosa with formation of pseudomembranous plaques over superficial ulceration. It is commonly associated with antibiotic therapy and clostridium difficile is often implicated. In infants it is known as necrotizing enterocolitis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| enterocolostomy | Establishment of an artificial opening between the small intestine and the colon. Origin: entero-+ G. Kolon, colon, + stoma, mouth (05 Mar 2000) |
| enterocutaneous fistula | A fistula between the intestine and skin of the abdomen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| enterocyst | A cyst of the wall of the intestine. Synonym: enterocystoma. Origin: entero-+ G. Kystis, bladder (05 Mar 2000) |

| enterococci |
Enterococcus is a genus of bacteria of the phylum Firmicutes. They are round gram-positive cells which occur in pairs and are difficult to distinguish from Streptococcus. Two species are common commensal organisms in the intestines of humans: E. faecalis and E. faecium. They are anaerobic, not requiring oxygen to live, but they can survive in the presence of oxygen. ...
