#370. Name the medical term : A line of iron deposition lying roughly on the border between the middle and lower thirds of the cornea. It lies in the corneal epithelium. Usually it has about 0.5 mm in thickness and is 1–2 mm long. It is generally horizontal, with possible mild downward trend in the middle. It is present normally in people over the age of 50, but seems to dissipate to some degree by the age of 70.

#372. Name the medical phrase : A condition in which women without previously diagnosed diabetes exhibit high blood glucose (blood sugar) levels during pregnancy (especially during their third trimester). It is caused when insulin receptors do not function properly. This is likely due to pregnancy-related factors such as the presence of human placental lactogen that interferes with susceptible insulin receptors. This in turn causes inappropriately elevated blood sugar levels.

Hi bobbym,

The Answer #372 is correct. Excellent!

#373. Name the medical term : Viral infection of the skin or occasionally of the mucous membranes, sometimes called water warts. It is caused by a DNA poxvirus called MCV. MCV has no nonhuman-animal reservoir (infecting only humans). There are four types of MCV, MCV-1 to -4; MCV-1 is the most prevalent and MCV-2 is seen usually in adults. The virus is spread from person to person by touching the affected skin. The virus may also be spread by touching a surface with the virus on it, such as a towel, clothing, or toys.

Hi bobbym,

#374. Name the medical term : (also known as CMP) It is inflammation of the underside of the patella and softening of the cartilage. It is a term sometimes treated synonymously with patellofemoral pain syndrome. However, there is general consensus that patellofemoral pain syndrome is a term that applies only to individuals without cartilage damage, thereby distinguishing it from it, a condition characterized by softening of the patellar articular cartilage.

Hi bobbym,

#375. Name the medical term : Medicine used to treat infections by worms. This includes pinworms, roundworms, tapeworms, hookworms, and whipworms. It is taken by mouth and acts to paralyze and kill worms infecting the digestive tract. This reduces the parasite burden to a low level, and since these worms are unable to complete their reproductive cycle within a single human host, the parasite burden remains low unless the person is reinfected.
