| harlequin chromosome | <cell biology> A chromosome which, when stained, produces a banded pattern of alternating light and dark segments (also called a harlequin pattern). It is made by treating a cell with 5'-bromodeoxyuridine, the chemical incorporates into the cells DNA and when stained is lighter than the DNA around it. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| harlequin eye | <radiology> Neurofibromatosis, dysplastic greater wing of sphenoid, plagiocephaly, focal calvarial expansion, subdural bleed, brain tumour (12 Dec 1998) |
| harlequin foetus | A severe autosomal recessive form of collodian baby in a newborn, usually premature, infant; i.e., a form of ichthyosiform erythroderma characterised by encasement of the body in grayish brown, often fissured plaques resembling plates of armor, and by grotesque deformity of the face, hands, and feet; usually fatal within a few days, although treatment with 13-cis-retinoic acid has been successful in some cases. Synonym: ichthyosis foetalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| harlequin ichthyosis | Foetal form of ichthyosis distinct from lamellar ichthyosis in its patchy character and the poor prospect of the patient surviving the neonatal period. (05 Mar 2000) |
| harlequin reaction | Sudden blanching of the lower half of the body of an infant lying on its side, leaving the remaining half of the body the normal pink colour. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Armanni-Ebstein change | Glycogen vacuolization of the loops of Henle, seen in diabetics before the introduction of insulin. Synonym: Armanni-Ebstein change. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Baggenstoss change | Distention of pancreatic acini by proteinaceous secretion, seen in dehydration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| change | An alteration; in pathology, structural alteration of which the cause and significance is uncertain. Synonym: shift. (05 Mar 2000) |
| change of life | Colloquialism for menopause, climacteric. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chemical change | A process in which one or more substances are changed into one or more different substances. (09 Oct 1997) |
| minimal-change disease | <nephrology> A disorder of the kidneys which largely affects the glomerulus, the blood filtering structure. This disorder is one common cause of nephrotic syndrome, minimal glomerular changes, in children affecting 2 to 3 children per 100,000 population under age 16 in the USA. Minimal change disease is also seen rarely in adults. The cause is unknown but may be related to an autoimmune illness. It is marked by oedema, albuminuria, and an increase in cholesterol in the blood, but otherwise with fairly good renal function. Tubular epithelium is vacuolated by cholesterol droplets, but the glomeruli show only that the foot processes of the glomerular epithelial cells are fused, probably secondary to the proteinuria; the cause of the increased glomerular permeability to plasma protein is unknown. Risk factors include a history for a immune disorder, recent immunisation or a bee sting. Diagnosis is made by renal biopsy. Treatment include systemic corticosteroids which are usually quite effective in curing this disease. Other medications include chlorambucil and cyclophosphamide. In most cases, a moderate protein diet (1 gram protein per Kg body weight per day) will be recommended. Salt (sodium) restriction can be helpful to reduce swelling and vitamin D is usually supplemented. Synonym: lipoid nephrosis (27 Sep 1997) |

| conformational change | <cell biology> Alteration in the shape usually the tertiary structure of a protein as a result of alteration in the environment pH, temperature, ionic strength) or the binding of a ligand (to a receptor) or binding of substrate (to an enzyme). (18 Nov 1997) |
| Crooke's hyaline change | Replacement of cytoplasmic granules of basophil cells of the anterior pituitary by homogenous hyaline material; a characteristic finding in Cushing's syndrome, but usually not present in the cells of a basophil adenoma. Synonym: Crooke's hyaline degeneration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| social change | Social process whereby the values, attitudes, or institutions of society, such as education, family, religion, and industry become modified. It includes both the natural process and action programs initiated by members of the community. (12 Dec 1998) |
| harlequin color change |
