#643. Name the medical term / phrase : It is a plexus in the ventricles of the brain where cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is produced. It consists of modified ependymal cells. CSF is recycled (flushed) 4 times per day in order to clean out metabolites and toxins like beta amyloid. Hence it must produce about 500 milliliters of CSF daily (or 21 mL per hour).

Hi ShivamS,

The Answer #645 (Cryptophthalmos) is perfect! Magnificent!

You are correct, ShivamS! I missed #644. Here is the question :

644. Name the medial term / phrase : A hereditary blood disorder, characterized by an abnormality in the oxygen-carrying haemoglobin molecule in red blood cells (Also known as drepanocytosis). This leads to a propensity for the cells to assume an abnormal, rigid, sickle-like shape under certain circumstances. It is associated with a number of acute and chronic health problems, such as severe infections, attacks of severe pain, and stroke, and there is an increased risk of death.

Hi bobbym,

The Answer #644 (Sickle-cell disease (SCD), also known as sickle-cell anaemia (SCA)) is correct. Brilliant!

#646. Name the medical term / phrase : An autoimmune condition that causes inflammation of small and medium-sized blood vessels (vasculitis) in persons with a history of airway allergic hypersensitivity (atopy). It usually manifests in three stages. The early (prodromal) stage is marked by airway inflammation; almost all patients experience asthma and/or allergic rhinitis. The second stage is characterized by abnormally high numbers of eosinophils (hypereosinophilia), which causes tissue damage, most commonly to the lungs and the digestive tract. The third stage consists of vasculitis, which can eventually lead to cell death and can be life-threatening.

Leishmaniasis is a disease caused by protozoan parasites of the Leishmania genus. This disease is the second-largest parasitic killer in the world (after malaria), responsible for an estimated 200,000 to 400,000 infections each year worldwide.

Either he left the answer in the question or asked for another term for it. Only one I know of is Kala Azar (Hindi for black fever)...

Jai Ganesh · 2015-06-05 17:09:59

Hi bobbym and ShivamS,

The Answer #647, kala-azar, is what I was looking for. Black fever is acceptable.

Excellent, bobbym and ShivamS!

It is classified as a delusional misidentification syndrome, a class of delusional beliefs that involves the misidentification of people, places, or objects (usually not in conjunction).

Hi bobbym and David,

Good attempt, David!

#651. Name the medical term / phrase : (medial epicondylitis) It is tendinosis of the medial epicondyle of the elbow. It is in some ways similar to tennis elbow. The anterior forearm contains several muscles that are involved with flexing the digits of the hand, and flexing and pronating the wrist. The tendons of these muscle come together in a common tendinous sheath, which originates from the medial epicondyle of the humerus at the elbow joint. In response to minor injury, or sometimes for no obvious reason at all, this point of insertion becomes inflamed.
