| cerebrovascular accident prevention | In many cases, a person may have a transient ischemic attack (TIA). A neurological event with the symptoms of a stroke, but the symptoms go away within a short period of time. This is often caused by the narrowing or ulceration of the carotid arteries (the major arteries in the neck that supply blood to the brain). If not treated, there is a high risk of having a major stroke in the future. If you suspect a TIA, you should seek medical attention right away. An operation to clean out the carotid artery and restore normal blood flow through the artery (a carotid endarterectomy) markedly reduces the incidence of a subsequent stroke. In other cases, when a person has a narrowed carotid artery, but no symptoms, the risk of having a stroke can be reduced with medications such as aspirin and ticlopidine (TICLID). These medications act by partially blocking the function of blood elements, called platelets, which assist blood clotting. (12 Dec 1998) |
| prevention | A going before: state of being before: precedence, anticipation, forestalment, preventive, precaution. (18 Nov 1997) |
| prevention of significant deterioration | (PSD) Under the Clean Air act, a planning and management process for air quality when a new source of air pollution is proposed in an area where ambient air quality is better than applicable standards (areas of special importance). (05 Dec 1998) |
| primary prevention | Prevention of disease or mental disorders in susceptible individuals or populations through promotion of health, including mental health, and specific protection, as in immunization, as distinguished from the prevention of complications or after-effects of existing disease. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Ornish prevention diets | Relaxed versions of the Ornish reversal diet, which is designed to prevent coronary artery disease. These diets reduce dietary fat in proportion to blood cholesterol level. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Buck's extension | Apparatus for applying longitudinal skin traction on the leg through contact between the skin and adhesive tape; friction between the tape and skin permits application of force, which is applied through a cord over a pulley, suspending a weight; elevation of the foot of the bed allows the body to act as a counterweight. Synonym: Buck's traction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| paraplegia in extension | Paralysis of the legs, maintained in an extended position by hypertonic extensor muscles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ridge extension | An intraoral surgical operation for deepening the labial, buccal, and/or lingual sulci; it is performed to increase the intraoral height of the alveolar ridge in order to assist denture retention. (05 Mar 2000) |
| crossed extension reflex | Extension of the contralateral hind limb when the paw of an animal is painfully stimulated or the central cut end of an afferent nerve, e.g., the peroneal, is stimulated; sometimes occurs in humans upon tapping the skin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| primer extension | A technique for determining the 5'-untranslated region of a specific mRNA molecule. Uses an oligonucleotide complementary to the known RNA sequence as a primer for cDNA synthesis via reverse transcriptase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| skeletal extension | Traction pull on a bone structure mediated through pin or wire inserted into the bone to reduce a fracture of long bones. Synonym: skeletal extension. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nail extension | An obsolete method of extension, by a weight on a nail or pin in the distal fragment of a fracture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| extension | 1. <orthopaedics> The movement by which the two elements of any jointed part are drawn away from each other. 2. <anatomy> A movement which brings the members of a limb into or toward a straight relation. Origin: L. Extensio (18 Nov 1997) |
