Hi bobbym,

#385. Name the medical term / condition : Skin disorder seen in 4–5% of the world's population and is one of the most common types of urticaria, in which the skin becomes raised and inflamed when stroked, scratched, rubbed, and sometimes even slapped (also known as 'skin writing'.

Hi bobbym,

Marvelous, bobbym!

#384. Name the medical term : Position of a baby in the uterus such that the head of the baby is presenting first and is tilted to the shoulder, causing the fetal head to no longer be in line with the birth canal. It is significantly different from a shoulder presentation, in which the shoulder is presenting first. Many babies enter the pelvis in this presentation, and most of it corrects spontaneously as part of the normal birthing process. Persistence of this can cause problems with dystocia, and has often been associated with cesarean birth.

Hi MathsIsFun,

The script is lucid and unambiguous. 

I too think of time as the fourth dimension (The Time-Space continuum).

Hi bobbym,

#382. Name the medical term : The gaps (approximately 1 micrometer in length) formed between the myelin sheaths generated by different cells. A myelin sheath is a many-layered coating, largely composed of a fatty substance called myelin, that wraps around the axon of a neuron and very efficiently insulates it.

Hi bobbym,

The Answer #380 (Tachycardia) is correct. Fabulous!

#381. Name the medical term : FSGS : It is a cause of nephrotic syndrome in children and adolescents, as well as an important cause of kidney failure in adults. It accounts for about a sixth of the cases of nephrotic syndrome. (Minimal change disease (MCD) is by far the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in children: MCD and primary FSGS may have a similar cause.

Hi,

#380. Name the medical term : A rapid heart rate, especially one above 100 beats per minute in an adult.
