Autoimmune Desease
In an autoimmune disease, the body makes antibodies against its own good cells and tissues, causing inflammation and injury. Examples of autoimmune disorders are rheumatoid arthritis, , affecting joints; celiac disease, affecting the intestinal tract; and graves disease , affecting the thyroid gland.
106
Ectopic pregnancy
Normal pregnancy implantation is in the upper portion of the uterus. Ectopic pregnancy occurs most commonly in a fallopian tube (i.e, tubal pregnancy). Surgery is often necessary to remove an ectopic pregnancy. The fetus is not viable. Tubal surgery may damage a fallopian tube and scar tissue can cause future pregnancy problems.
107
"sign"
is an objective finding that is perceived by an examiner, such as fever, rash or abnormal blood cell counts.
108
"symptom"
is a subjective change in condition as perceived by the patient. Loss of appetite, abdominal pain, and fatigue.
109
Prolapse of the uterus; 1st degree prolapse
the uterus descends into the vaginal canal.
110
Prolapse of the uterus; 2nd degree prolapse
the body of the uterus is still within the vagina, but the cervix protrudes from the vaginal orifice (opening)
111
Prolapse of the uterus; 3rd degree prolapse
the entire uterus projects permanently outside the orifice. As treatment, the uterus may be held in position by a plastic pessary (oval supporting object) that is inserted into the vagina. Some affected women may require hysterectomy (removal of the uterus).
112
symphysis
A symphysis is a joint in which the bony surfaces are firmly united by a layer of fibrocartilage.
113
Pubic symphysis
When the pubic bones of the pelvis have grown together. Another example of a symphysis is the two halves of the mandible (lower jawbone), which unite before birth.
114
Symbiosis
Symbiosis occurs when two organisms live together in close association, wither for mutual benefit or not. Examples are:
bacteria in the intestines and the cells lining the intestines benefit each other
parasites (tapeworms and flees) live off another organism, and are harmful to the host.
In psychiatry, symbiosis is a relationship between two individuals who are emotionally dependant on each other
115
Congenital anomaly
An anomaly is an irregularity in a structure or organ. Examples of congenital anomalies (those that an infant is born with) include webbed fingers or toes (syndactyly), heart defects and clubbed feet. Some congenital anomalies are hereditary, whereas others are produced by factors present during pregnancy like FAS.
