| aldosterone | <endocrinology, hormone> A steroid hormone produced by the adrenal cortex, that controls salt and water balance in the kidney. Abnormally high levels of this hormone cause sodium retention, high blood pressure, heart rhythum irregularities and possibly paralysis (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| aldosterone antagonist | An agent that opposes the action of the adrenal hormone aldosterone on renal tubular mineralocorticoid retention; these agents, e.g., spironolactone, are useful in treating the hypertension of primary hyperaldosteronism, or the sodium retention of secondary hyperaldosteronism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aldosterone antagonists | Compounds which inhibit or antagonise the biosynthesis or actions of aldosterone. (12 Dec 1998) |
| receptors, aldosterone | Cytoplasmic proteins that specifically bind aldosterone and mediate its cellular effects. The aldosterone-bound receptor acts in the nucleus to regulate the transcription of specific segments of DNA. (12 Dec 1998) |
| renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system | The hormones, renin, angiotensin, and aldosterone work together to regulate blood pressure. A sustained fall in blood pressure causes the kidney to release renin. This is converted to angiotensin in the circulation. Angiotensin then raises blood pressure directly by arteriolar constriction and stimulates adrenal gland to produce aldosterone which promotes sodium and water retention by kidney, such that blood volume and blood pressure increase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hormone, aldosterone | Hormone produced by the outer portion (cortex) of the adrenal gland that regulates the balance of water and electrolytes (ions such as potassium and sodium) in the body. Aldosterone encourages the kidney to excrete potassium into the urine and to retain sodium, thereby retaining water. Aldosterone is classified as a mineralocorticoid hormone. (12 Dec 1998) |
| escape | 1. To flee, and become secure from danger; often followed by from or out of. "Haste, for thy life escape, nor look behind" (Keble) 2. To get clear from danger or evil of any form; to be passed without harm. "Such heretics . . . Would have been thought fortunate, if they escaped with life." (Macaulay) 3. To get free from that which confines or holds; used of persons or things; as, to escape from prison, from arrest, or from slavery; gas escapes from the pipes; electricity escapes from its conductors. "To escape out of these meshes." (Thackeray) 1. The act of fleeing from danger, of evading harm, or of avoiding notice; deliverance from injury or any evil; flight; as, an escape in battle; a narrow escape; also, the means of escape; as, a fire escape. "I would hasten my escape from the windy storm." (Ps. Lv. 8) 2. That which escapes attention or restraint; a mistake; an oversight; also, transgression. "I should have been more accurate, and corrected all those former escapes." (Burton) 3. A sally. "Thousand escapes of wit." 4. The unlawful permission, by a jailer or other custodian, of a prisoner's departure from custody. Escape is technically distinguishable from prison breach, which is the unlawful departure of the prisoner from custody, escape being the permission of the departure by the custodian, either by connivance or negligence. The term escape, however, is applied by some of the old authorities to a departure from custody by stratagem, or without force. 5. An apophyge. 6. Leakage or outflow, as of steam or a liquid. 7. <physics> Leakage or loss of currents from the conducting wires, caused by defective insulation. <engineering> Escape pipe, the wheel of an escapement.

| escape beat | Escaped beat, an automatic beat, usually arising from the A-V junction or ventricle, occurring after the next expected normal beat has defaulted; it is therefore always a late beat, terminating a longer cycle than the normal. Synonym: escape contraction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| escape-capture bigeminy | Paired beats, each couplet consisting of an escape beat followed by a conducted sinus beat. (05 Mar 2000) |
| escape conditioning | The technique whereby an organism learns to terminate unpleasant or punishing stimuli by making the appropriate new response which stops the delivery of such stimuli. Compare: avoidance conditioning. Synonym: escape training. (05 Mar 2000) |
| escape contraction | Escaped beat, an automatic beat, usually arising from the A-V junction or ventricle, occurring after the next expected normal beat has defaulted; it is therefore always a late beat, terminating a longer cycle than the normal. Synonym: escape contraction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| escape impulse | One or more impulse's (atrial, junctional, or ventricular) arising as a result of delay in the formation or arrival of impulses from the prevailing pacemaker. (05 Mar 2000) |
| escape interval | The time between the last beat of the patient's basic rhythm (ectopic or sinus beat) and a beat from a spontaneous escape focus or the initial electronic pacemaker impulse (a preset interval in the circuitry); it may be either a shorter or a longer time period than the pulse interval. (05 Mar 2000) |
| escape phenomenon | Failure of the pupil in an eye with optic neuritis to maintain constriction as both eyes are alternately stimulated with light. (05 Mar 2000) |
| escape reaction | Innate response elicited by sensory stimuli associated with a threatening situation, or actual confrontation with an enemy. (12 Dec 1998) |
