Hi,

#1008. Name the medical term / phrase - An agent that supposedly forms a soothing film over a mucous membrane, relieving minor pain and inflammation of the membrane. They are sometimes referred to as mucoprotective agents. These such as pectin, glycerin, honey, and syrup are common ingredients in cough mixtures and cough drops. Some of these may not be suitable for diabetics as they are based on sugar. Methyl cellulose, propylene glycol and glycerine are synthetic such.

Hi bobbym,

The Answer #1008 (Demulcent) is perfect! Stupendous!

#1009. Give the abbreviation : 18F-FDG  : A radiopharmaceutical used in the medical imaging modality positron emission tomography (PET). The uptake of 18F-FDG by tissues is a marker for the tissue uptake of glucose, which in turn is closely correlated with certain types of tissue metabolism. After 18F-FDG is injected into a patient, a PET scanner can form two-dimensional or three-dimensional images of the distribution of 18F-FDG within the body. Since its development in 1976, 18F-FDG had a profound influence on research in the neurosciences. The subsequent discovery 1980 that 18F-FDG accumulates in tumors underpins the evolution of PET as a major clinical tool in cancer diagnosis. 18F-FDG is now the standard radiotracer used for PET neuroimaging and cancer patient management. The images can be assessed by a nuclear medicine physician or radiologist to provide diagnoses of various medical conditions.

Re: Doc, Doc!

Hi bobbym,

#1013. What does the the medical abbreviation EMDR signify? (A psychotherapy developed by Francine Shapiro that emphasizes disturbing memories as the cause of psychopathology. It is used to help with the symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). According to Shapiro, when a traumatic or distressing experience occurs, it may overwhelm normal coping mechanisms. The memory and associated stimuli are inadequately processed and stored in an isolated memory network.
EMDR therapy is better than no treatment and similar to cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) in chronic PTSD.
The goal of EMDR is to reduce the long-lasting effects of distressing memories by developing more adaptive coping mechanisms. The therapy uses an eight-phase approach that includes having the patient recall distressing images while receiving one of several types of bilateral sensory input, such as side to side eye movements. EMDR was originally developed to treat adults with PTSD; however, it is also used to treat other conditions and children).

Hi,

#1014. Name the medical phrase -  A break or splinter of the bone into more than two fragments. Since considerable force and energy is required to fragment bone, fractures of this degree occur after high-impact trauma such as in vehicular accidents.

#1015. Name the medical term / phrase - (also known as breastbone) - A long flat bone shaped like a necktie located in the center of the chest. It connects to the ribs via cartilage, forming the front of the rib cage, and thus helps to protect the heart, lungs, heart and major blood vessels from injury. It consists of three regions: the manubrium, the body, and the xiphoid process.

Hi bobbym,

The Answer #1015 (Sternum) is correct! Excellent!

#1016. Name the medical term / phrase -  One of the recognizable signs of death, it caused by chemical changes in the muscles after death, causing the limbs of the corpse to stiffen. At the time of death, a condition called "primary flaccidity" occurs. Following this, the muscles stiffen in this. All muscles in the body are affected. Starting between two to six hours following death, it begins with the eyelids, neck, and jaw. The sequence may be due to different lactic acid levels among different muscles, which is directly related to the difference in glycogen levels and different types of muscle fibers. It then spreads to the other muscles within the next four to six hours, including the internal organs. The onset of this is affected by the individual's age, gender, physical condition, and muscular build. It may not be perceivable in many infant and child corpses due to their smaller muscle mass.

#1017. Name the medical term / phrase -  An infection caused by the rubella virus. This disease is often mild with half of people not realizing that they are sick. A rash may start around two weeks after exposure and last for three days. It usually starts on the face and spreads to the rest of the body. The rash is not as bright as that of measles and is sometimes itchy. Swollen lymph nodes are common and may last a few weeks. A fever, sore throat, and fatigue may also occur. In adults joint pain is common. Complications may include bleeding problems, testicular swelling, and inflammation of nerves. Infection during early pregnancy may result in a child born with congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) or miscarriage. Symptoms of CRS include problems with the eyes such as cataracts, ears such as deafness, heart, and brain. Problems are rare after the 20th week of pregnancy.

#1018. Name the medical term / phrase - A class of drugs which aid in the clearance of mucus from the airways, lungs, bronchi, and trachea. Such drugs can be further categorized by their mechanism of action:
(i) mucolytic agents
(ii)expectorants
(iii) wetting agents / hypoviscosity agents
(iv) abhesives / surfactants
In general, clearance ability is hampered by bonding to surfaces (stickiness) and by the viscosity of mucous secretions in the lungs. In turn, the viscosity is dependent upon the concentration of mucoprotein in the secretions.
