|---|
| thyrotoxic | Denoting thyrotoxicosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| thyrotoxic coma | Coma preceding death in severe hyperthyroidism, as in thyroid storm or thyrotoxic crisis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thyrotoxic complement-fixation factor | A form of thyrotoxin; an antigen found most readily in thyroid tissue from thyrotoxic individuals; known to be chemically and immunologically distinct from thyroglobulin, and fixes complement when combined with antibody related to the gamma-globulin fraction of serum. With the exception of extremely small concentrations, the antigen is rarely found in normal glands or in diseased glands that are not associated with thyrotoxicosis; it is probably an intracellular substance (possibly a constituent of the "microsomal fraction"), and does not contain iodine in significant quantity. Not related to the complement-fixation reaction occurring with serum in Hashimoto's disease, in which the antigen is thyroglobulin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thyrotoxic crisis | Thyroid crisis, the exacerbation of symptoms that occurs in severe thyrotoxicosis; can follow shock or injury or thyroidectomy; marked by rapid pulse (140 to 170 per minute), nausea, diarrhoea, fever, loss of weight, extreme nervousness, and a sudden rise in the metabolic rate; coma and death may occur; occasionally the entire clinical picture is that of profound prostration, weakness, and collapse, without the phase of muscular overactivity and tachycardia. Synonym: thyroid storm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thyrotoxic heart disease | Cardiac symptoms, signs, and physiologic impairment due to overactivity of the thyroid gland usually due to excessive sympathetic stimulation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thyrotoxic myopathy | Extreme muscular weakness in severe thyrotoxicosis affecting muscles of limbs and trunk as well as those used in speech and swallowing. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thyrotoxic serum | An antiserum obtained by injecting into animals the nucleoproteins of the thyroid gland. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alcoholic encephalopathy | <neurology> Encephalopathy associated with thiamin deficiency. Usually associated with chronic alcohol abuse. Other features include loss of memory and confabulation. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (27 Sep 1997) |
| bilirubin encephalopathy | <paediatrics> Disorder due to jaundice in a newborn baby with high blood levels of the pigment bilirubin that is deposited in the brain resulting in damage. The level of bilirubin is monitored in newborns to determine whether treatment is needed to prevent kernicterus. With brain affected, it is also called bilirubin encephalopathy. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Binswanger's encephalopathy | One of the causes of multiinfarct dementia, in which there are many infarcts and lacunes in the white matter, with relative sparing of the cortex and basal ganglia. Synonym: Binswanger's encephalopathy, encephalitis subcorticalis chronica, subcortical arteriosclerotic encephalopathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bovine spongiform encephalopathy | A new disease of cattle, first reported in 1986 in Great Britain, characterised clinically by apprehensive behaviour, hyperesthesia, and ataxia and histopathologically by spongiform changes in the gray-matter neuropil of the brain stem; it is thought to be caused by an agent, possibly a prion, similar to that observed as the cause of scrapie. Synonym: mad cow disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| palindromic encephalopathy | A relatively mild form which tends to recur. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pancreatic encephalopathy | A metabolic encephalopathy associated with extensive pancreatic necrosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| recurrent encephalopathy | A progressive form of encephalopathy occurring in young members of the same family; characterised by headache, vertigo, truncal ataxia, drowsiness and stupor, speech impairments, choreic-athetoid movements, and sometimes convulsions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| metabolic encephalopathy | Encephalopathy characterised by memory loss, vertigo, and generalised weakness, due to metabolic brain disease including hypoxia, ischemia, hypoglycaemia, or secondary to other organ failure such as liver or kidney. (05 Mar 2000) |
