RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------

Deafness
A general term for the complete or partial loss of the ability to hear from one or both ears. Deafness may result from ear diseases; vestibulocochlear nerve diseases; or brain diseases.
Deafness, congenital
Loss of hearing present at birth. Congenital deafness contrasts to acquired deafness which occurs after birth.
PREVIOUS AND NEXT TERMS--------------------------------------
DBT
Dialectical behavioral therapy.
DCIS
Ductal carcinoma in situ. A precancerous condition characterized by the clonal proliferation of malignant-looking cells in the lining of a breast duct without evidence of spread outside the duct to other tissues in the breast or outside the breast. DCIS is clearly the precursor (forerunner) of invasive breast cancer. This is evident from the sharing of clonal chromosome changes by DCIS and adjacent invasive cancers. In other words, invasive breast cancer evolves from DCIS. Also called intraductal carcinoma.
DDH (developmental dislocation of the hip)
The abnormal formation of the hip joint in which the ball at the top of the thighbone (the femoral head) is not stable within the socket (the acetabulum). The ligaments of the hip joint may also be loose and stretched.
De Lange syndrome
A relatively common birth defect syndrome with multiple malformations and mental retardation of unknown origin.
De Musset sign
Rhythmic nodding or bobbing of the head in synchrony with the heart beat, a sign of aortic insufficiency - incompetence of the aortic valve with aortic regurgitation. The causes include syphilitic aortitis, rheumatic fever, and aortic aneurysm
Deafness and keratopachydermia
Deafness, congenital
Loss of hearing present at birth. Congenital deafness contrasts to acquired deafness which occurs after birth.
Death
1. The end of life. The cessation of life. (These common definitions of death ultimately depend upon the definition of life, upon which there is no consensus.) 2. The permanent cessation of all vital bodily functions. (This definition depends upon the definition of "vital bodily functions.") See: Vital bodily functions. 3. The common law standard for determining death is the cessation of all vital functions, traditionally demonstrated by "an absence of spontaneous respiratory and cardiac functions." 4. The uniform determination of death.
Death rate
The number of deaths in the population divided by the average population (or the population at midyear) is the crude death rate.
Death rate, infant
The number of children dying under a year of age divided by the number of live births that year. The infant death rate is also called the infant mortality rate.
Death, black
The black plague or the plague. In 14th century Europe, the victims of the "black plague" had bleeding below the skin (subcutaneous hemorrhage) which made darkened ("blackened") their bodies. The black death swept recurrently through Europe, killing half its population in the middle of the 14th century.
