| HM | Hypercalcaemia of malignancy |
| hypercalcemia | <biochemistry> A medical condition in which abnormally high concentrations of calcium compounds are found in the bloodstream. Normal blood calcium is in the range of 8.5 to 10.5 mg/dl. Elevations may be seen in hyperparathyroidism, multiple myeloma, excessive vitamin D intake, as a drug side effect (thiazide diuretics) and in association with some cancers (particularly those spread to bone). Compare: hypocalcaemia. Origin: Gr. Haima = blood (11 Jan 1998) |
|---|---|
| malignancy | (pl. Malignancies) a cancer. (16 Dec 1997) |
| malignancy and immunodeficiency | <radiology> High risk of malignancy (especially lymphoma/leukaemia, GI tumours): X-linked agammaglobulinaemia (Bruton's), common variable immunodeficiency, severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID kids), ataxia-telangectasia, Wiscott-Aldrich syndrome, selective IgA deficiency (12 Dec 1998) |
| undifferentiated abdominal malignancy | <radiology> Large soft-tissue masses, multiple linear or nodular calcific densities, can coalesce to form conglomerate masses (12 Dec 1998) |
| humoral | <physiology> Of, relating to, proceeding from or involving a bodily humour now often used of endocrine factors as opposed to neural or somatic. (18 Nov 1997) |
| humoral antibodies | <immunology> Antibodies which are secreted by B lymphocytes circulating in the blood, in response to antigens found in body fluids. (06 Mar 1998) |
| humoral doctrine | The ancient Greek theory of the four body humors (blood, yellow and black bile, and phlegm) that determined health and disease. The humors were associated with the four elements (air, fire, earth, and water), which in turn corresponded to a pair of the qualities (hot, cold, dry, and moist). A proper and evenly balanced mixture of the humors was characteristic of health of body and mind; an imperfect balance resulted in disease. Temperament of body or mind also was supposed to be determined, e.g., sanguine (blood), choleric (yellow bile), melancholic (black bile), or phlegmatic (phlegm). Synonym: fluidism, humoralism, humorism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| humoral immune response | <immunology> Those immune responses mediated by antibody. (06 Mar 1998) |
| humoral immunity | <immunology> A form of immunity whereby B lymphocytes and plasma cells produce antibodies to foreign agents (antigens) and stimulate T lymphocytes to attack them (cellular immunity). These antibodies also stimulate the release of chemical mediators (for example interferon, complement) which enhance antigen destruction. (06 Mar 1998) |
| humoral pathology | The thesis that disorders in the fluids of the body, especially the blood, are the basic factors in disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
