| verapamil | <drug> A calcium channel blocking drug, used as a coronary vasodilator and antiarrhythmic. Pharmacologic action: Calcium channel blockade, direct, potent negative chronotrope and inotrope, slows conduction in AV node, systemic and coronary vasodilation. Uses: Supraventricular tachycardias. Dose: 2.5 - 5.0 mg IV over 1-2 minutes May repeat at 5.0 - 10 mg every 15-30 minutes until 30 mg total dose. Onset: 3 - 5 min. Potential complications: Hypotension due to vasodilation and depressed contractility. Treat with calcium; bradycardia, AV block can be exacerbated, contraindicated with congestive heart failure, synergistic interaction with beta blockers. Note: Administration of verapamil to a patient with ventricular tachycardia can be lethal. Verapamil can accelerate heart rate and decrease blood pressure, especially in patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White and wide-complex tachycardia. (12 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| bacterial capsules | An envelope of loose gel surrounding a bacterial cell which is associated with the virulence of pathogenic bacteria. Some capsules have a well-defined border, whereas others form a slime layer that trails off into the medium. most capsules consist of relatively simple polysaccharides but there are some bacteria whose capsules are made of polypeptides. (12 Dec 1998) |
| brood capsules | Small hollow projections from the lining membrane of a hydatid cyst from which the scoleces arise. (05 Mar 2000) |
| capsules | Hard or soft, soluble containers of a suitable substance, for enclosing a dose of medicine, usually for oral administration. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adult-onset diabetes | <disease> An often mild form of diabetes mellitus of gradual onset, usually in obese individuals over age 35; absolute plasma insulin levels are normal to high, but relatively low in relation to plasma glucose levels; ketoacidosis is rare, but hyperosmolar coma can occur; responds well to dietary regulation and/or oral hypoglycaemic agents, but diabetic complications and degenerative changes can develop.

| adult-onset still's disease | Although Still's disease was first described in children, it is known to begin in adults. See: Still's disease. (12 Dec 1998) |
| age of onset | The age or period of life at which a disease or the initial symptoms or manifestations of a disease appear in an individual. (12 Dec 1998) |
| maturity-onset diabetes | Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| maturity onset diabetes of youth | A relatively mild, non-insulin requiring form of diabetes mellitus beginning at a younger age than usual. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rheumatoid arthritis, systemic-onset juvenile | Also known as systemic-onset juvenile chronic arthritis. Still's disease presents with systemic (bodywide) illness including high intermittent fever, a salmon-coloured skin rash, swollen lymph glands, enlargement of the liver and spleen, and inflammation of the lungs (pleuritis) and around the heart (pericarditis). The arthritis may not be immediately apparent but it does appear and may persist after the systemic symptoms are gone. (12 Dec 1998) |
| growth-onset diabetes | A chronic condition in which the pancreas makes little or no insulin because the beta cells have been destroyed. The body is then not able to use the glucose (blood sugar) for energy. IDDM usually comes on abruptly, although the damage to the beta cells may begin much earlier. The signs of IDDM are a great thirst, hunger, a need to urinate often, and loss of weight. To treat the disease, the person must inject insulin, follow a diet plan, exercise daily, and test blood glucose several times a day. IDDM usually occurs in children and adults who are under age 30. This type of diabetes used to be known as juvenile diabetes, juvenile-onset diabetes, and ketosis-prone diabetes. (09 Oct 1997) |
| still's disease, adult-onset | Systemic-onset rheumatoid arthritis in adults. It differs from classical rheumatoid arthritis in that it is more often marked by acute febrile onset, and generalised lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly are more prominent. (12 Dec 1998) |
| systemic-onset juvenile chronic arthritis | See: Systemic-onset juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (still's disease). (12 Dec 1998) |
| systemic-onset juvenile rheumatoid arthritis | <rheumatology> A form of joint disease, arthritis, that presents with systemic upset. Clinical signs: high intermittent fever, a salmon-coloured skin rash, swollen lymph glands, enlargement of the liver and spleen, and inflammation of the lungs (pleuritis) and around the heart (pericarditis). The arthritis itself may not be immediately apparent but once apparent, it may persist after the systemic symptoms have resolved. Synonym: Still's disease. (03 Jul 1999) |
