What's the difference between cyanopathy and jaundice?

Cyanopathy


Definition:

  • (n.) A disease in which the body is colored blue in its surface, arising usually from a malformation of the heart, which causes an imperfect arterialization of the blood; blue jaundice.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) A retrospective and consecutive analysis of the autopsy records for a statistical group of 298 cases revealed 138 pathohistological states of cyanopathies and liver steatoses of the first and second degree i.e.

Jaundice


Definition:

  • (n.) A morbid condition, characterized by yellowness of the eyes, skin, and urine, whiteness of the faeces, constipation, uneasiness in the region of the stomach, loss of appetite, and general languor and lassitude. It is caused usually by obstruction of the biliary passages and consequent damming up, in the liver, of the bile, which is then absorbed into the blood.
  • (v. t.) To affect with jaundice; to color by prejudice or envy; to prejudice.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) In a random sample of 1,000 neonates from a Delhi Hospital the incidence of jaundice was 53% and of hyperbilirubinaemia (HB) 6%.
  • (2) Diagnostic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in patients with complicated forms of the disease helps in identifying the cause of jaundice before the operation.
  • (3) The observed changed indicate that the hyperbilirubinemia and jaundice that develop in patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency with lobar pneumonia are caused partly by hemolysis and partly by intrahepatic cholestasis.

  • (5) However six equivocal studies were observed in profoundly jaundiced patients with bilirubin levels above 400 mumol l-1 due to difficulties in differentiating extrahepatic obstruction from severe intrahepatic cholestasis.
  • (6) Abnormal lipoprotein (LP-X) represents a specific parameter for the presence of obstructive jaundice in the adult.

  • (12) The rapidity of obtaining the results (within one hour), the complete absence of untoward reactions to the radiopharmaceuticals, the much lower frequency of subtle or indeterminate results, the ability to render useful information in the presence of moderate jaundice and the lack of interference from overlying intestinal contents establishes these radionuclide agents as superior to both radiographic oral and intravenous cholangiography in the investigation of the acute abdomen.

  • (14) Significant results in the treated neonates are as follows: a lesser intensity of jaundice from the 48th hour of treatment; a lesser need for repeated bilirubinemia assay for the control of evolution and a lesser use of phototherapy if the serum concentration of clofibric acid is above or equal to the 140 micrograms therapeutic level before the 24th hour of treatment.
