tetanoz (bakınız: lockjaw)

listen to the pronunciation of tetanoz (bakınız: lockjaw)
Turkish - English
(Tıp) tetanus
A state of muscle tension caused by sustained contraction arising from a rapid series of nerve impulses which do not allow the muscle to relax
a sustained muscular contraction resulting from a rapid series of nerve impulses an acute and serious infection of the central nervous system caused by bacterial infection of open wounds; spasms of the jaw and laryngeal muscles may occur during the late stages
a sustained muscular contraction resulting from a rapid series of nerve impulses
A serious disease affecting the nervous system Tetanus (lockjaw) results when a wound is infected with a type of bacteria that thrives without oxygen (particularly in deep wounds)
An often fatal disease caused by the anaerobic, spore-forming bacillus Clostridium tetani, and characterized by muscle spasms and convulsions (See 924)
An acute, often fatal infectious disease caused by the bacterium Clostridium tetani When the bacterium establishes an infection within the body, usually at the site of a contaminated wound, it produces a potent toxin, which spreads to the nervous system and causes severe muscle rigidity and painful spasms A highly effective, protective vaccine is available
When the muscles of the lower jaw are affected, it is called locked-jaw, or lickjaw, and it takes various names from the various incurvations of the body resulting from the spasm
an acute and serious infection of the central nervous system caused by bacterial infection of open wounds; spasms of the jaw and laryngeal muscles may occur during the late stages
= Smooth, sustained contraction of skeletal muscle
Tetanus is a potentially life-threatening disease Infection occurs through wounds Incidence of tetanus is approximately 50 cases per year for the past 10 years; less than 10 of these cases are under 30 years old, and these cases are rarely fatal A series of tetanus toxoid injections does provide protection from tetanus for at least 10 years Tetanus immune globulin protects unvaccinated individuals if they receive an injection soon after injury Immediate vaccine reactions are usually mild, though many severe reactions have been reported, some of them causing permanent disability and a few fatalities Long-term adverse effects are unknown
A train of action potentials; the requirement for development of LTP
Serious bacterial infection caused by Clostridium tetani, which enters the body through puncture wounds Also called lockjaw
A serious and often fatal disease arising through infection of an open wound by the anaerobic bacterium Clostridium tetani that is found in soil and the intestines and faeces of animals. The bacteria produce an exotoxin which causes spasmodic contraction of voluntary muscles, especially those of the neck and jaw
Serious bacterial infection caused by Clostridium Tetani, which enters the body through puncture wounds (a k a Lockjaw)
{i} infectious disease which usually enters the body through wounds
An infectious disease, often fatal, marked by painful muscles spasms, especially those of the lower jaw and neck
That condition of a muscle in which it is in a state of continued vibratory contraction, as when stimulated by a series of induction shocks
a disease caused by the bacteria Clostridium tetani that produces painful, rigid muscle contractions, especially in the neck and jaw Immunization against tetanus can prevent the disease

An infectious, often-fatal disease characterised by respiratory paralysis and tonic spasms and rigidity of the voluntary muscles, especially those of the neck and lower jaw The bacterium enters the body through wounds
