| nephrosis, lipoid | Glomerular disease causing heavy proteinuria characterised by absence of obvious histologic glomerular changes on light microscopy. It is also called minimal change glomerular disease and minimal lesion glomerulonephritis. (12 Dec 1998) |

| lipoid | 1. Resembling fat. 2. Former term for lipid. Synonym: adipoid. Origin: Lipo-+ G. Eidos, appearance (05 Mar 2000) |
| lipoid granuloma | Granuloma characterised by aggregates or accumulations of fairly large mononuclear phagocytes that contain lipid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lipoid nephrosis | <nephrology> A disorder of the kidneys which largely affects the glomerulus, the blood filtering structure. This disorder is one common cause of nephrotic syndrome in children affecting 2 to 3 children per 100,000 population under age 16 in the us. Minimal change disease is also seen rarely in adults. The cause is unknown but may be related to an autoimmune illness. 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. (27 Sep 1997) |
| lipoid proteinosis | <disease> A familial disease occurring in the course of latent diabetes, marked by yellowish nodules due to deposits of a protein-lipid complex on the oral tongue and sublingual and faucial areas, translucent keratotic papillomatous eyelid lesions, keratotic lesions on the extremities, and hoarseness. It is due to a disturbance of lipid metabolism with autosomal recessive inheritance and is frequently associated with intracranial calcifications. inheritance: autosomal recessive. Synonym: hyalinasis cutis et mucosae, lipoidosis cutis et mucosae, Urbach-Wiethe disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lipoid theory of narcosis | That narcotic efficiency parallels the coefficient of partition between oil and water, and that lipoids in the cell and on the cell membrane absorb the drug because of this affinity. Synonym: Meyer-Overton theory of narcosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anaemic infarct | An infarct in which little or no bleeding into tissue spaces occurs when the blood supply is obstructed. Synonym: pale infarct, white infarct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bland infarct | An uninfected infarct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bone infarct | An area of bone tissue that has become necrotic as a result of loss of its arterial blood supply. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pale infarct | An infarct in which little or no bleeding into tissue spaces occurs when the blood supply is obstructed. Synonym: pale infarct, white infarct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| red infarct | An infarct red in colour from infiltration of blood from collateral vessels into the necrotic area. Synonym: haemorrhagic gangrene, red infarct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Roesler-Bressler infarct | Infarction involving the septum along with both inferior and anterior walls to make an H-or dumbbell-shaped configuration. Synonym: Roesler-Bressler infarct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| white infarct | An infarct in which little or no bleeding into tissue spaces occurs when the blood supply is obstructed. Synonym: pale infarct, white infarct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| multi-infarct dementia | <neurology> This form of dementia is caused by a number of strokes in the brain. These strokes can cause specific symptoms, depending on their severity and location and can cause general symptoms of dementia. MID cannot be treated, once the nerve cells die, they cannot be replaced. However, the underlying condition leading to strokes (for example, high blood pressure, diabetes) can be treated, which may help prevent further damage. Synonym: vascular dementia. (22 May 1997) |
| myocardial infarct imaging | <radiology> Tc-99m pyrophosphate (PYP) 20 mCi, peak abnormality 2-3 days, often falsely negative before 2 days, abnormal for 7-10 days, mechanism: calcium influx into ischemic cells, PYP incorporated into crystalline structure, analogous to hydroxyapatite see: nuclear cardiology (12 Dec 1998) |
