| 영문 | Graves' disease | 한글 | 그레이브스병 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 갑상샘의 비대와 갑상샘호르몬의 과다분비가 특징인 병이다. 이 병은 주로 25~50세에 호발하고 주로 여자에게서 많이 생긴다. 갑상샘 호르몬은 저장되어 있는 에너지를 소모하여 신체의 대사율을 높이는 호르몬이므로 입맛이 좋은 데도 불구하고 계속적인 체중의 감소, 그리고 축적된 에너지를 소모하여 열생많이 하여서 더위를 참기 힘들어하고 만성 쇠약감이나 근력의 약화를 보일 수가 있다. 그리고 눈에 특징적인 증상이 나타나는데 눈꺼풀이 비정상적으로 위로 올라가 있고, 눈이 아래의 물건을 주시할 경우에 눈꺼풀이 정상적으로는 처져야 하지만 갑상샘 호르몬이 과도하게 나올 경우에는 눈꺼풀이 처지지 않는다. 또 눈알이 앞쪽으로 돌출하는 안구돌출을 볼 수가 있다. 또 피부가 아주 부드럽고 물기가 많아서 축축하다. 그리고 특징적으로 하지의 앞쪽에 피부가 두꺼워져 국소적 융기를 이루는 것이 있는데 이것은 이 병의 특징적인 병터이다. |

| 영문 | diabetic neuropathy | 한글 | 당뇨병신경병증 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 오래된 당뇨의 합병증으로 발생한다. 대개 당뇨병에 이환된 경우 당뇨병 자체에 의한 병보다 오랜 기간후의 합병증에 의해 목숨을 잃는 경우가 많다. 초기에 당뇨병에서 혈중포도당농도를 잘 조절하는 경우 이런 합병증이 발생하는 경우가 낮으나, 그렇지 못한 경우 합병증 발생이 많다. 대개 한번 발생한 경우, 치료는 어렵고 그 진행 또한 늦출 수 없다고 한다. 증상은 감각의 저하를 가져와, 아픔을 잘 느끼지 못하므로 주위 물건이나 사람과 잘 부딪히고, 부딪힌 후에도 사실을 인지하지 못해 계속적인 외상을 받게 되므로 부딪히기 쉬운 관절이나, 발가락, 발목부분 등에 손상을 가져온다. |

| 영문 | optic nerve | 한글 | 시각신경 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 시각을 인지하는 신경. 이 신경은 단지 감각신경으로서만 작용한다. 따라서 어떤 사물을 따라 눈을 움직일 수 있는 것은 이 시각신경과는 무관하다(이것은 눈돌림신경(oculomotor nerve)에 의해 가능하다). 또한 시각신경은 고위중추신경계인 뇌에서 직접 분지하므로 손상시 재생은 불가능하며, 이에 대한 치료법은 없다. |

| 영문 | optic disk | 한글 | 시신경유두 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 망막의 구조를 직상검안경(망막을 보기 위해 고안된 검사기구)으로 보면 다음과 같다. 망막에 혈액을 공급하는 망막동맥(retinal artery)과, 다시 혈액을 회수하는 망막정맥(retinal vein)은 다같이 시각신경(optic nerve)과 함께 시각신경구멍(optic foramen)을 통해 망막까지 이르게 된다. 즉, 이들 망막 동, 정맥은 시각신경속에 끼워진 채 망막까지 이르게 된다. 따라서 이들 망막 동, 정맥 주위에 존재하는 시각신경유두는 바로 시각신경의 일부분을 말한다. 빛의 자극을 이해할 수 있는 신호체계로 바꾸는 시각세포는 받아들인 자극을 시각신경에서 분지한 수많은 신경절세포(ganglion cell: 신경전달을 모아서 보다 큰 전달단위로 전해주는 역할을 하며, 망막내에 위치한다)로 전달하게 되고, 이들 신경절세포는 다시 이런 자극들을 모아 시각신경유두로 보내게 되며, 시각신경유두에서부터 신경전달은 뇌까지 진행한다.  |

| optic neuropathy, ischemic | A severely blinding disease resulting from loss of the arterial blood supply to the optic nerve as a result of occlusive disorders of the nutrient arteries. Optic neuropathy is divided into anterior, which causes a pale oedema of the optic disk, and posterior, in which the optic disk is not swollen and the abnormality occurs between the globe and the optic chiasm. Ischemic anterior optic neuropathy usually causes a loss of vision that may be sudden or occur over several days; ischemic posterior optic neuropathy is uncommon and the diagnosis depends largely upon exclusion of other causes, chiefly stroke and brain tumour.

| disease, graves' | The most common cause of hyperthyroidism (too much thyroid hormone), Graves' disease is due to a generalised (diffuse) overactivity (toxic) of the whole enlarged thyroid gland (goiter); it is also commonly known as diffuse toxic goiter. There are three components to Graves' disease: hyperthyroidism, protrusion of the eyes (ophthalmopathy), and skin lesions (dermopathy). Ophthalmopathy can cause sensitivity to light and a feeling of sand in the eyes. With further protrusion of the eyes, double vision and vision loss may occur. The ophthalmopathy tends to worsen with smoking. Dermopathy of Graves' disease is a rare, painless, reddish lumpy skin rash that occurs on the front of the leg. Graves' disease can run in families. Factors that can trigger Graves' disease include stress, smoking, radiation to the neck, medications (such as interleukin-2 and interferon-alpha), and infectious organisms such as viruses. Graves' disease can be diagnosed by a typical thyroid scan (diffuse increase uptake), the characteristic triad of ophthalmopathy, dermopathy, and hyperthyroidism, or blood testing for TSI (Thyroid Stimulating Immunoglobulin) level which is abnormally high.

| asymmetric motor neuropathy | Neuropathy in which the loss of function is more marked in the extremities of one side of the body, old term for diabetic polyradiculopathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| autonomic neuropathy | <neurology, pathology> A group of symptoms which is caused by damage to the nerves which supply the internal organs. May be associated with diabetes, alcohol abuse, trauma (nerve injury) and the use of anticholinergic medications. Symptoms include abdominal swelling, heat intolerance, nausea, vomiting, impotence, diarrhoea, constipation, dizziness with standing, difficulty urinating and urinary incontinence. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (27 Sep 1997) |
| axillary neuropathy | <neurology, pathology> A condition involving dysfunction of the axillary nerve which normally supplies the deltoid and teres minor muscles and sensation to the lateral aspect of the shoulder. This condition is a type of peripheral neuropathy that may manifest as the result of a variety of disease processes or injuries. Conditions associated with axillary nerve dysfunction include mononeuritis multiplex, fracture of the humerus, abduction injury to the shoulder, pressure to the armpit from a cast, splint or crutches. Symptoms include numbness over the outer portion of the shoulder, shoulder weakness and difficulty lifting arm or objects over your head. An EMG, nerve conduction study or muscle biopsy can be helpful in making the diagnosis. Recovery is generally spontaneous if the underlying cause can be corrected and shoulder mobility is preserved. Corticosteroid injections may be indicated in some instances. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (27 Sep 1997) |
| brachial plexus neuropathy | A neurological disorder, of unknown cause, characterised by the sudden onset of severe pain, usually about the shoulder and often beginning at night, soon followed by weakness and wasting of various forequarter muscles, particularly shoulder girdle muscles; both sporadic and familial in occurrence with the former much more common; often preceded by some antecedent event, such as an upper respiratory infection, hospitalization, vaccination, or non-specific trauma; usually attributed to a brachial plexus lesion, because the nerve fibres involed are most often derived from the upper trunk, but actually multiple proximal mononeuropathies. Synonym: acute brachial radiculitis, brachial plexitis, brachial plexus neuropathy, Parsonage-Turner syndrome, shoulder-girdle syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| giant axonal neuropathy | <paediatrics> A rare disorder beginning at or after the third year of life, and presenting clinically with kinky hair, progressive painless clumsiness, muscle weakness and atrophy, sensory loss, and areflexia. Pathologically, both myelinated and unmyelinated nerve fibres contain axonal spheroids packed with neurofilaments; sporadic in nature. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vitamin B12 neuropathy | A subacute or chronic disorder of the spinal cord, such as that occurring in certain patients with vitamin B12 deficiency, characterised by a slight to moderate degree of gliosis in association with spongiform degeneration of the posterior and lateral columns. Synonym: combined sclerosis, combined system disease, funicular myelitis, Putnam-Dana syndrome, vitamin B12 neuropathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| peripheral neuropathy | <neurology> Injury to the nerves that supply sensation to the arms and legs. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (16 Dec 1997) |
