phospholipid bilayer (medicine) and reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome (medicine)


phospholipid bilayer (medicine)


phospholipid bilayer
<biochemistry> A lamellar organisation of phospholipids that are packed as a bilayer with hydrophobic acyl tails inwardly directed and polar head groups on the outside surfaces.

It is this bilayer that forms the basis of membranes in cells, though in most cellular membranes a very substantial proportion of the area may be occupied by integral proteins. The triple layered appearance of membranes seen in electron microscopy is thought to arise because the osmium tetroxide binds to the polar regions leaving a central, unstained, hydrophobic region.


reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome (medicine)


reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome
<syndrome> A condition that features a group of typical symptoms, including pain (often burning type), tenderness, and swelling of an extremity associated with varying degrees of sweating, warmth and/or coolness, flushing, discoloration, and shiny skin.
