| secondary disease | A disease that follows and results from an earlier disease, injury, or event, a wasting disorder that follows successful transplantation of bone marrow into a lethally irradiated host; frequently severe and usually associated with fever, anorexia, diarrhoea, dermatitis, and desquamation. See: graft versus host disease. (05 Mar 2000) |

| secondary drives | Those drives not directly related to biological needs; a secondary drive can be learned as an offshoot of a primary drive, in which case it is often referred to as a motive. Synonym: acquired drives. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary drowning | Pulmonary oedema and resulting asphyxia, resulting from hypoxia and increased permeability of pulmonary capillaries occurring in a patient who has been immersed in and aspirated some water. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary dysmenorrhoea | Dysmenorrhoea due to inflammation, infection, tumour, or anatomical factors. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary electron | <microscopy> Produced by an incident electron passing near an atom in the specimen, near enough to impart some of its energy to a lower energy electron (usually in the K-shell). This causes a slight energy loss and path change in the incident electron and the ionisation of the electron in the specimen atom. This ionised electron then leaves the atom with a very small kinetic energy (5eV) and is then termed a secondary electron. Each incident electron can produce several secondary electrons.

| secondary electron imaging | <microscopy> Production of secondary electrons is very topography related. Due to their low energy, 5eV, only secondaries that are very near the surface (less than 10nm) can exit the sample and be examined. Any changes in topography in the sample that are larger than this sampling depth will change the yield of secondaries due to collection efficiencies. Collection of these electrons is aided by using a collector in conjunction with the secondary electron detector. The collector is a grid or mesh with a +100V potential applied to it which is placed in front of the detector, attracting the negatively charged secondary electrons to it which then pass through the grid-holes and into the detector to be counted. When a Secondary Electrons collide with the solid-state saemiconductor detector an electron-hole pairs are created which are then counted. This quantity is translated into a pixel intensity and displayed on the CRT, forming the image. (05 Aug 1998) |
| secondary encephalitis | Collective term for post-infectious, post-exanthem, and post-vaccinal encephalitides. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary failure | Failure of the function of an organ as a result of antecedent pathology elsewhere, decreasing responsiveness to a drug after an initial satisfactory response, usually occurring several months after initiation of treatment. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary fissure of cerebellum | A fissure that separates the uvula of the inferior vermis of the cerebellum from the pyramid. Synonym: fissura secunda cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary follicle | A follicle in which the oocyte attains its full size and is surrounded by an extracellular glycoprotein layer (zona pellucida) that separates it from a peripheral layer of follicular cells permeated by one or more fluid-filled antra; the theca of the follicle develops into internal and external layers. Synonym: folliculus ovaricus vesiculosus, graafian follicle, secondary follicle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary gain | Interpersonal or social advantages (e.g., assistance, attention, sympathy) gained indirectly from organic illness. Compare: primary gain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary generalised epilepsy | A group of epilepsy syndromes of diverse aetiologies with diffuse or multifocal cerebral involvement. Patients typically have a variety of generalised seizure types, including tonic, atonic, myoclonic, atypical absence, and generalised tonic-clonic seizures. Partial seizures may also occur. One classic syndrome is the Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Synonym: symptomatic epilepsy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary glaucoma | Glaucoma occurring as a sequel of preexisting ocular disease or injury. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary haemorrhage | Haemorrhage at an interval after an injury or an operation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary homonym | <zoology> Each of two or more identical species names, which, at the time of original publication, were proposed in combination with different generic names, but which, through subsequent transference, have come to bear the same combination of generic and specific names. See: homonym. (09 Jan 1998) |
