| nosocomial | <microbiology> Pertaining to or originating in the hospital, said of an infection not present or incubating prior to admittance to the hospital, but generally occurring 72 hours after admittance, the term is usually used to refer to patient disease, but hospital personnel may also acquire nosocomial infection. Compare: iatrogenic. Origin: Gr. Komeion = to take care of (18 Nov 1997) |

| nosocomial gangrene | A chronic ulcer that appears in pressure areas in debilitated patients confined to bed or otherwise immobilised, due to a circulatory defect from the enhanced tissue pressure in high-contact areas, often occurring over a bony prominence (for example sacral decubitus). (27 Sep 1997) |
| nosocomial infection | <microbiology> Hospital acquired infection: commonest are due to Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, E. Coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Serratia marcescens and Proteus mirabilis. (18 Nov 1997) |
| nosocomial pneumonia | <chest medicine> A type of pneumonia that is caused by bacteria contracted during a hospitalisation. These hospital-acquired infections tend to be more difficult to treat due to the bacteria's relative resistance to common forms of antibiotic therapy. Risk of nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infection is a major determinant when a physician decides whether or not the risks outweigh the benefits concerning necessity for hospitalisation. (13 Nov 1997) |
| runner's condition | <orthopaedics> A condition where the knee cap (patella) rubs on the surface of the femur rather than following its normal tracking over the knee joint. This condition is brought about by stress or overuse (for example runners). Running on hills or incline surfaces can exacerbate this problem. Symptoms include knee pain, just under the knee cap after running, progressing to knee pain at rest. Treatment includes rest and stretching exercises for the quadriceps and hamstring muscles. Strengthening the medial (inner) head of the quadriceps (along the inner thigh) will help pull the knee cap medially and correct the problem. (17 Dec 1997) |
| condition | A mode or state of being, the state of being fit: the physical status of the body as a whole or of one of its parts usually used to indicate abnormality. (18 Nov 1997) |
| sine condition | <microscopy> The design of a lens must fulfill this condition, described by Abbe, if the image is to be aplanatic. It states that the ratio of the sines of the angles of the incident and refracted rays to the axis must be constant, this constant is equal to the inverse of the magnification of the image. (05 Aug 1998) |
| stoichiometric condition | That condition at which the proportion of the air-to-fuel is such that all combustible products will be completely burned with no oxygen remaining in the combustion air. (05 Dec 1998) |
| desired future condition | A vision of the desired future state of a specific area. A description of land and resource conditions expected to result if management goals and objectives are achieved. (05 Dec 1998) |
| disturbed condition | <ecology> Refers to areas in which indicators of one or more characteristics (vegetation, soil and/or hydrology) have been sufficiently altered by man's activities or natural events so as to make it more difficult to recognise whether or not the wetland identification criteria are met. (11 Jan 1998) |
| fibrocystic condition of the breast | A benign disease common in women of the third, fourth, and fifth decades characterised by formation, in one or both breasts, of small cysts containing fluid which may appear as blue dome cysts; associated with stromal fibrosis and with variable degrees of intraductal epithelial hyperplasia and sclerosing adenosis. Synonym: cystic hyperplasia of the breast. (05 Mar 2000) |
