| lymphoblastic leukaemia | Acute lymphocytic leukaemia in which the abnormal cells are chiefly (or almost totally) blast forms of the lymphocytic series, or in which unusually large numbers of the immature forms occur in association with adult lymphocytes. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| lymphocytic leukaemia | <haematology, oncology> An acute form of childhood leukaemia characterised by the development of abnormal cellsdevelop in the bone marrow and lymphoblasts are found in blood-formingtissues. A type of chronic leukaemia found most often in the elderly, it is characterised by the presence of mature lymphocytes in the blood. Origin: Gr. Haima = blood (13 Nov 1997) |

| acrocephalosyndactyly type 1 | <paediatrics> An inherited disease (autosomal dominant) or a spontaneously occurring disease characterised by a peaked head and unusual facial appearance, due to the premature closure of the cranial sutures. A skull X-ray can confirm the diagnosis and treatment is surgical. Inheritance: autosomal dominant. (27 Sep 1997) |
| Alzheimer type I astrocyte | Enlarged frequently multinucleated astrocytes, seen in progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Alzheimer type II astrocyte | Enlarged astrocytes with vesicular nuclei and one or more small basophilic nucleoli, seen in hepatocerebral disease and Wilson's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| American Type Culture Collection | <cell culture> A key resource for cultured cells, located in Rockville, USA. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Antoni type A neurilemoma | <tumour> Relatively solid or compact arrangement of neoplastic tissue that consists of Schwann cells arranged in twisting bundles and associated with delicate reticulin fibres; the nuclei of the Schwann cells are frequently grouped in parallel rows (so-called palisades), and the nuclei and fibres sometimes form exaggerated tactile corpuscles, called Verocay bodies. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Antoni type B neurilemoma | <tumour> Relatively soft or loose arrangement of neoplastic tissue that consists of Schwann cells in a haphazard or nondescript type of arrangement among reticulin fibres and tiny cystlike foci; fat-laden macrophages may be observed in some of the larger neoplasms. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arthus-type reaction's | Reaction's in man and other species that result from the same basic immunologic (allergic) mechanism which evokes, in the rabbit, the typical Arthus phenomenon. See: immune complex disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| avian adenovirus type 1 proteinase | <enzyme> 206 aa residues of which 66% are homologous to human ad2 emzyme embl/genbank l13161 Registry number: EC 3.4.22.- Synonym: aavl proteinase, aavl endopeptidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| basic personality type | An individual's unique, covert, or underlying personality propensities, whether or not they are behaviourally manifest or overt, personality characteristics of an individual which are also shared by a majority of the members of a social group. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Becker type muscular dystrophy | A muscular dystrophy that has many of the clinical features of Duchenne muscular dystrophy e.g., symmetrical involvement of first the pelvicrural muscles and then the pectoral girdle and proximal upper extremity muscles; pseudohypertrophy, especially of the calf muscles but with a much later age of onset (35-45 years), and more benign course. X-linked inheritance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Becker type tardive muscular dystrophy | Muscular dystrophy of late onset, often in the second or third decade, with relatively mild course; X-linked recessive inheritance; perhaps allelic with Duchenne's dystrophy, but milder and not a genetic lethal. Compare: Duchenne dystrophy. Synonym: Becker type tardive muscular dystrophy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| blood type | The specific reaction pattern of erythrocytes of an individual to the antisera of one blood group; e.g., the ABO blood group consists of four major blood types: O, A, B, and AB. This classification depends on the presence or absence of two major antigens: A or B. Type O occurs when neither is present and type AB when both are present. The blood type is the genetic phenotype of the individual for one blood group system and may be determined using different antisera available for testing. See Blood Groups appendix. (05 Mar 2000) |
