Deuteranopia
|
|
DeuteranopiaColorblindness of the red-green type, also known as deuteranomaly or Daltonism.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Colorblindness
The inability to perceive colors in a normal fashion. The most common forms of colorblindness are inherited as sex-linked (X-linked) recessive traits. Females are carriers and males are affected. As a result, approximately 1 in 8 males is colorblind as compared to less than 1 in 100 females.
Deuteranomaly
Colorblindness of the red-green type, also known as deuteranopia or Daltonism.
Daltonism
Colorblindness of the red-green type (also known as deuteranopia or deuteranomaly).
SIMILAR TERMS--------------------------------------
Deuteranomaly
Colorblindness of the red-green type, also known as deuteranopia or Daltonism.
Deuterium
A non-radioactive isotope of hydrogen that contains a neutron in its nucleus in addition to the one proton normally seen in hydrogen. A deuterium atom is twice as heavy as normal hydrogen.
PREVIOUS AND NEXT TERMS--------------------------------------
Desmoplastic reaction
This term refers to the growth of fibrous or connective tissue. Some tumors elicit a desmoplastic reaction, the pervasive growth of dense fibrous tissue around the tumor. Scar tissue (adhesion) within the abdomen after abdominal surgery is another type of desmoplastic reaction.
Desquamate
To shed the outer layers of the skin.
Detox
Short for detoxification, usually from an addictive drug such as alcohol or heroin. A detox center is designed to promote the recovery of a person from an addiction.
Detoxify
To reduce or eliminate the toxicity of a substance or poison. To promote the recovery of a person from an addictive drug such as alcohol or heroin.
Deuteranomaly
Colorblindness of the red-green type, also known as deuteranopia or Daltonism.
Deuteranopia
Deuterium

Development
The process of growth and differentiation.
Developmental delay
Behind schedule in reaching milestones of early childhood development.
Developmental dislocation of the hip (DDH)
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.
Developmental disorder
One of several disorders that interrupt normal development in childhood. They may affect a single area of development (specific developmental disorders) or several (pervasive developmental disorders). With early intervention, most specific developmental disorders can be accommodated and overcome. Early intervention is absolutely essential for pervasive developmental disorders, many of which will respond to an aggressive approach that may combine speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, behavior modification techniques, play therapy, and in some cases medication.
