Medical Information on Hypermetropia Hypermetropia is also known as 'long-sight'. This means that a child who is 'long-sighted' is more likely to see better at 'long' distance than 'short'. Often children with Hypermetropia can see clearly when watching the television or the blackboard but may find reading a book difficult.

Hyperkalemia Pseudohyperkalemia is a rise in the amount of potassium that occurs due to excessive leakage of potassium from cells, during or after blood is drawn. It is a laboratory artifact rather than a biological abnormality and can be misleading to caregivers.

Chapter 46: The eye If the eye is too short in relation to the lens, near objects are focused behind the retina (hypermetropia: farsightedness or longsightedness). In contrast, if the eye is too long in relation to the lens, distant objects are focused in front of the retina (myopia: nearsightedness or shortsightedness) (fig. 46-1C).

Definitions &Translations Freebase(0.00 / 0 votes)Rate this definition: Dysmetria. Dysmetria refers to a lack of coordination of movement typified by the undershoot or overshoot of intended position with the hand, arm, leg, or eye. It is a type of ataxia. It is sometimes described as an inability to judge distance or scale. Hypermetria and hypometria refer, respectively, to overshooting and undershooting the intended position.

clonidine - oral, Catapres (METH-il-DOE-pa). COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Aldomet. USES: This medication is used alone or with other medications to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. Methyldopa works by relaxing blood vessels so blood can flow more easily.

Learning More About: Farsightedness Farsighted (also called hyperopia) is a term to describe an eye condition that lets you clearly see objects far or distant in your field of vision, while objects that are near appear blurry or hazy. Due to the nature of this type of vision problem, farsightedness can affect vision in different ways.

- Hoffman Syndrome is a rare adult pseudohypertrophic myopathy associated with hypothyroidism, usually autoimmune thyroiditis. These patients present with focal or generalized muscle hypertrophy and other systemic features of hypothyroidism.There have not been many cases reported in India. We report a typical case.n our case, there was predominance of arm muscle hypertrophy alone. Hoffman's disease is a specific, rare form of hypothyroid myopathy, which causes proximal weakness and pseudohypertrophy of muscles, due to connective tissue deposition.

Hyperopia (Farsightedness) Hyperopia, or farsightedness, is a common vision problem, affecting about a fourth of the population. People with hyperopia can see distant objects very well, but have difficulty focusing on objects that are up close.

Far-sightedness As hyperopia is the result of the visual image being focused behind the retina, it has two main causes: 1  Low converging power of eye lens because of weak action of ciliary muscles. 2  Abnormal shape of the cornea.

What is hypertrichosis? Hypertrichosis is excessive hair growth over and above the normal for the age, sex and race of an individual, in contrast to hirsutism, which is excess hair growth in women following a male distribution pattern.

Hypervolemia Hypervolemia Definition Also known as fluid overload, hypervolemia is a condition characterized by excessive fluid volume. It is an upsurge of too much blood plasma, causing an elevated volume of blood. It is an expansion of the extracellular fluid volume, including the intravascular or interstitial space. This may

Area code 480 Generally, 480 is coextensive with the East Valley, while most of the West Valley is area code 623 and most of Phoenix itself stayed in 602. Original plans called for the 480 code to be an overlay code for the entire Phoenix metro area.However, overlays were a new concept at the time, and met with considerable resistance due to potential geographic ambiguity caused by overlay codes, as well as the requirement for ten-digit dialing.t was created on April 1, 1999 in a three-way split of area code 602, when it was apparent that the Valley of the Sun was growing too fast for it to remain entirely in one area code.

Hypertrichosis It is not to be confused with Clinical lycanthropy. Hypertrichosis (also called Ambras syndrome) is an abnormal amount of hair growth over the body; extensive cases of hypertrichosis have informally been called werewolf syndrome, because the appearance is similar to the mythical werewolf.

What is Hypertonicity? Hypertonicity is an increased tension of the muscles, meaning the muscle tone is abnormally rigid, hampering proper movement. This condition is the opposite of hypotonicity. Hypotonicity is a decreased tension in muscle tone. A lack of muscle tone inhibits proper movement as the muscle is not developed or is too soft to support the body.

Hypernatremia Background. Hypernatremia is a common electrolyte problem and is defined as a rise in serum sodium concentration to a value exceeding 145 mmol/L. It is strictly defined as a hyperosmolar condition caused by a decrease in total body water (TBW) relative to electrolyte content.

Facts About Myopia What is myopia? Otherwise known as nearsightedness, myopia occurs when the eye grows too long from front to back. Instead of focusing images on the retina—the light-sensitive tissue in the back of the eye—the lens of the eye focuses the image in front of the retina. People with myopia have good near vision but poor distance vision. Otherwise known as nearsightedness, myopia occurs when the eye grows too long from front to back. Instead of focusing images on the retina—the light-sensitive tissue in the back of the eye—the lens of the eye focuses the image in front of the retina. People with myopia have good near vision but poor distance vision. People with myopia can typically see well enough to read a book or computer screen but struggle to see objects farther away.

- Hyperthyroidism is a set of disorders that involve excess synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland. The resulting elevation in levels of FT 4, free triiodothyronine (FT 3), or both leads to the hypermetabolic condition of thyrotoxicosis.

Hypervolemia Not to be confused with volume overload. Hypervolemia, or fluid overload, is the medical condition where there is too much fluid in the blood. The opposite condition is hypovolemia, which is too little fluid volume in the blood. Fluid volume excess in the intravascular compartment occurs due to an increase in total body sodium content and a consequent increase in extracellular body water.

- What Is Hypernatremia? Hypernatremia is an electrolyte imbalance and is indicated by a high level of sodium in the blood. The normal adult value for sodium is 136-145 mEq/L. Sodium is an element, or an electrolyte, that is found in the blood. What Causes Hypernatremia? Certain conditions may cause an excess of sodium in the blood.

Difference Between Hyperopia and Myopia Long sightedness also known by the names far-sightedness or hyperopia is the condition where objects at a close distance cannot be focused properly. People with long sightedness have problems adjusting the optical power to focus on closer objects hence experience blurred vision.

- Hyperthyroidism is a disorder characterized by the overproduction of thyroid hormone and a subsequent increase in the metabolic rate. This is a fairly common disease of older cats. Although the thyroid gland enlarges, it is usually a benign or non-malignant change.
