| 영문 | Parkinson disease | 한글 | 파킨슨병 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 나이든 사람에게 발생하는 신경계의 퇴행병이다. 주로 운동을 담당하는 중간뇌부위가 침범된다. 원인은 바이러스, 약물, 혹은 동맥경화증 등으로 알려진 경우도 있으나, 원인을 알 수 없는 경우가 많다. 증상은 가면얼굴, 쓰러질 것 같은 걸음걸이, 손떨림, 근육의 강직, 앞으로 기울어진 자세 등임. 치료는 특별한 것이 없으며, 대개 보존적 치료(완치를 목적으로 하지 않고 단지 환자의 생활을 보조해주는 정도의 치료)를 시행한다. 최근, 죽은 태아의 뇌를 이식하는 뇌 이식술에 의한 치료효과가 높다는 보고가 있다. |

| 영문 | endemic disease | 한글 | 풍토병 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 인간사회에 항상 존재하지만 특수한 기후나 토질로 인하여 특정지역에만 존재하는 사망률이 낮고, 임상적으로도 드물게 볼 수 있는 병. 특히 그 토지의 풍토-기후-생물-토양 등의 자연환경과 그 지방 주민의 풍속-습관-인습 등이 복잡하게 얽혀서 생긴 특수한 병을 가리킨다. 일반적으로 그 지방 주민의 사망률은 그다지 높지 않지만 근절되기 어려운 것이 특징이다. 지방병이라는 말은 어느 지방에 한정하여 볼 수 있는 병이라는 점에서는 같지만, 풍토환경과 밀접한 관계가 있다는 데서 보면 풍토병이라는 용어가 적절하다. 국내적으로는 쯔쯔가무시병, 야생토끼병, 렙토스피라증 등이 알려져 있고, 세계적으로는 말라리아, 황열, 페트스, 일본주혈흡충증 등이 알려져 있다. |

|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 악성림프종의 한 형태이다. 호지킨병은 방사선 치료에 대단히 예민해서 충분한 양의 방사선으로 완전한 근치적 치료가 가능하다. |

| silo-filler's lung | Pulmonary oedema, usually delayed for 1-4 hours, occurring in an individual exposed to silage, probably due to nitrogen dioxide; can progress to bronchiolitis obliterans. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| small cell lung cancer | A type of lung cancer in which the cells are small and round. Also called oat cell lung cancer. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nonsmall cell lung cancer | A general classification for squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and large cell carcinoma. (12 Dec 1998) |
| superior lobe of lung | The lobe of the right lung that lies above the oblique and horizontal fissures and includes the apical, posterior and anterior bronchopulmonary segments; in the left lung, the lobe lies above the oblique fissure and contains the apicoposterior, anterior, superior lingular and inferior lingular segments. Synonym: lobus superior pulmonis, upper lobe of lung. (05 Mar 2000) |
| drugs toxic to lung | <radiology> Bleomycin, methotrexate, cytoxan, amiodarone (12 Dec 1998) |
| dynamic compliance of lung | The value obtained when lung compliance is estimated during breathing by dividing the tidal volume by the difference in instantaneous transpulmonary pressures at the ends of the respiratory excursions, when flow in the airway is momentarily zero; this value deviates markedly from static compliance in patients in whom resistances and compliances are not uniform throughout the lung (i.e., uneven time constants). (05 Mar 2000) |
| quiet lung | The collapse of a lung during thoracic operations undertaken to facilitate surgical procedure through absence of lung movement. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior border of lung | The sharp border of the lung that separates the diaphragmatic surface from the costal and mediastinal surfaces. Synonym: margo inferior pulmonis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior lobe of lung | It is located below and behind the oblique fissure and contains five bronchopulmonary segments: superior, medial basal, anterior basal, lateral basal, and posterior basal. Synonym: lobus inferior pulmonis, lower lobe of lung. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interlobar surfaces of lung | The pulmonary surfaces in the interlobar fissures of the lung. Synonym: facies interlobares pulmonis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| iron lung | A mechanical respirator in which the body except the head is encased within a metal tank, which is sealed at the neck with an airtight gasket; artificial respiration is induced by making the air pressure inside negative. Synonym: iron lung, tank respirator. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oblique fissure of lung | The deep fissure in each lung that runs obliquely downward and forward. It divides the upper and lower lobes of the left lung and separates the upper and middle lobes from the lower lobe of the right lung. Synonym: fissura obliqua pulmonis, major fissure, oblique fissure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| open lung biopsy | <investigation, procedure, surgery> A procedure which involves the removal of a small specimen of lung tissue for microscopic analysis via a surgical incision in the chest wall. This test can be used to identify a variety of lung cancers, lung infections and lung diseases. (21 Mar 1998) |
| thresher's lung | <chest medicine> Type III hypersensitivity response to Micropolyspora faeni, a thermophilic bacterium found in mouldy hay. (18 Nov 1997) |
| total lung capacity | The volume of air contained in the lungs at the end of a maximal inspiration. It is the equivalent to each of the following sums: vital capacity plus residual volume; inspiratory capacity plus functional residual capacity; tidal volume plus inspiratory reserve volume plus functional residual capacity; tidal volume plus inspiratory reserve volume plus expiratory reserve volume plus residual volume. (12 Dec 1998) |
