"Myelodysplastic" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a group of bone marrow disorders in which the bone marrow is unable to produce enough healthy blood cells, leading to anemia, infection, and bleeding.
Myelocarcinosis is a rare and serious medical condition characterized by the abnormal accumulation of cancer cells in the bone marrow. The word comes from the Greek words "myelos" meaning marrow, "carcinoma" meaning cancer, and the suffix "-osis" indicating a condition or disease. In myelocarcinosis, the bone marrow is replaced by cancerous cells, which can eventually overcrowd the bone tissue and lead to symptoms such as fatigue, infections, and anemia. The condition is often associated with a poor prognosis and is typically treated with chemotherapy and, in some cases, a bone marrow transplant.
A myelocele is a type of neural tube defect, typically occurring during early fetal development. It is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the failure of the neural tube to close properly, resulting in a defect in the spinal cord and surrounding bones. In a myelocele, the spinal cord and its protective membranes protrude through an opening in the spine, often accompanied by other birth defects. The condition often requires immediate surgical intervention and ongoing medical care to manage associated symptoms and complications.
Myelocoele refers to a rare congenital abnormality in which the spinal cord and surrounding soft tissues are protruding through an opening in the spine, typically caused by incomplete neural tube closure during fetal development. It is often associated with other neural tube defects and can result in significant motor and sensory impairments.
Myelocytes are a type of immature cell found in the bone marrow. They are a stage in the development of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Myelocytes are considered immature because they have not yet matured into their final form.
Myelocytes are a type of immature cell in the blood or bone marrow that gives rise to various types of white blood cells, such as neutrophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes.
Myelocytic refers to something related to or resembling a myelocyte, which is a type of immature white blood cell in the bone marrow. In medical contexts, myelocytic is used to describe a cell or tissue that is characteristic of myelopoiesis, the process by which mature white blood cells are produced from stem cells. In broader terms, myelocytic can also refer to something that is similar in function or character to myelocytes, such as myelocytic leukemia, a type of blood cancer.
Myelocytomatosis is a rare genetic disorder that affects the bone marrow and causes an overproduction of immature white blood cells, leading to anemia, bleeding, and poor blood clotting. It is a type of myeloproliferative neoplasm, a group of blood cancers characterized by an abnormal increase in the production of any of the three main types of blood cells: red cells, white cells, and platelets.
Myelodysplasia is a group of rare blood disorders characterized by faulty production of blood cells in the bone marrow. In myelodysplasia, the immature blood cells (called blasts) do not mature properly, leading to a lack of healthy red or white blood cells and platelets in the bloodstream.
Myeloencephalitis is a medical condition characterized by inflammation of the brain (encephalitis) and the spinal cord (myelitis) due to various causes, such as viral infections, bacterial infections, or other inflammatory disorders.
Myelofibrosis is a type of blood disorder characterized by the replacement of bone marrow with fibrous scar tissue, leading to a proliferation of abnormal blood cells in the bone marrow. This can cause a range of symptoms, including anemia, fatigue, weight loss, and bone pain.
Myelogenesis refers to the process by which myeloid precursor cells, such as stem cells, differentiate into mature myeloid cells, such as red blood cells, platelets, or neutrophils.
Myelogenic refers to the process of myelogenesis, which is the development of myeloid cells, such as red blood cells, platelets, and granulocytes, from stem cells in the bone marrow.
Myelogenous refers to relating to or derived from myeloblasts, which are a type of immature white blood cell in the bone marrow that gives rise to mature neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils. In medicine, the term is often used to describe a type of leukemia, such as acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), which affects the production and development of these white blood cells.
A myelogram is a medical imaging test used to visualize the spinal cord and surrounding structures. It is typically performed to diagnose and monitor conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and tumors that affect the spinal cord. During the test, a contrast dye is injected into the spine, and X-ray images are taken to image the spine and surrounding tissues.
Myelography is a medical imaging test that uses a contrast dye to visualize the spinal cord and surrounding tissues. It is often used to diagnose problems such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and tumors affecting the spinal cord.
Relating to myeloblasts, a type of stem cell that gives rise to various cell types having a blood origin, such as granulocytes, monocytes, and platelets.
