`long-acting drug
`
`loop colostomy
`
`long-acting drug [AS, lang + L, agere, to do; Fr, drogue,
`drug],
`a pharmacologic agent with a prolonged effect be-
`cause of a formulation resulting in the slow release of the
`active principle or
`the continued absorption of
`small
`amounts of the dosage of the drug over an extended period.
`long-acting insulin,
`a preparation of insulin modified by
`an interaction with zinc under specific chemical conditions
`and supplied as a suspension with a prolongedaction. Anin-
`jection of the preparation takes effect within 8 hours,
`reaches a peak of action in 16 to 24 hours, and has a dura-
`tion of action of more than 36 hours. Also called slow-
`acting insulin, ultralente insulin. See also insulin. Com-
`pare intermediate-acting insulin, short-acting insulin.
`long-acting thyroid stimulator (LATS),
`an immuno-
`globulin, probably an autoantibody, that exerts a prolonged
`stimulatory effect on the thyroid gland, causing rapid
`growth of the gland and excessactivity of thyroid function,
`resulting in hyperthyroidism.It is found circulating in the
`blood of 50% of people with Graves’ disease.
`(LATS-P),
`long-acting thyroid stimulator protector
`an antibody that inhibits the neutralization of long-acting
`thyroid stimulator and is found in the serum of persons with
`Graves’ disease. LATS-P interferes with the binding of
`thyroid-stimulating hormone to its receptor on the plasma
`membrane of thyroid cells. See also long-acting thyroid
`stimulator.
`an
`long-arm cast [As, Jang + earm, arm; ONorse, kasta},
`orthopedic cast applied to immobilize the arm from the hand
`to the upper arm.It is used in treating fractures of the fore-
`arm, elbow, and humerus; for maintaining postoperative po-
`sitioning of the distal arm, elbow, or upper arm; andfor cor-
`recting or maintaining the correction of deformities of the
`distal arm, wrist, or elbow. See also cast. Compare short-
`arm cast.

`long bones,
`length of an extremity, particularly the bones of the legs and
`arms.
`the

`longus,
`[L,
`longevity /lonjev’ité/
`number of years an average person ofa particular age is ex-
`pected to continue living.
`It
`is determined by statistical
`tables based on mortality rates of various population groups.
`longissimus/lon-jis’i-mas/ [L, longest, very long],
`a gen-
`eral term denoting a long structure, as a muscle.
`length],
`longitudinal
`/lon'jatoo'denal/
`[L,
`Jlongitudo,
`1, pertaining to a measurementin the direction of the long
`axis of an object, body, or organ, such as the longitudinal
`arch of the foot. 2. pertaining to a scientific study thatis
`conducted over a long period of time, such as the Framing-
`ham (Massachusetts) Study of heart disease.
`longitudinal diffusion,
`the diffusion of solute molecules
`in the direction of flow of the mobile phase.
`longitudinal dissociation,
`the insulation of parallel path-
`ways of cardiac impulses from each other, usually in the
`atrioventricular junction.
`length, fissura, cleft],
`/ongitudo,
`longitudinal fissure [L,
`the largest and deepest groove between the medial surfaces
`of the cerebral hemispheres.
`longitudinal presentation [L, Jongitudo, length, praesen-
`tare, to show],
`the normalpresentation of a fetus, with the
`long axis of the infant body parallel to that of the mother.
`longitudinal sound waves,
`pressure waves formed by the
`oscillation of particles or molecules parallel to the axis of
`wave propagation. The compression and expansion of such
`waves at high frequencies is the principle on which ultra-
`sonography is based.

`operative positioning and immobilization of the knee,distal _
`leg, and ankle; and for correcting or maintaining the correc-
`tion of the foot, distal leg, and knee. See also cast. Compare
`short-leg cast.
`an orthopedic cast applied to
`long-leg cast with walker,
`immobilize the leg from the toes to the upper thighin treat-
`ing certain leg fractures. This type of cast is the sameas the
`long-leg cast but
`incorporates a rubber walker, enabling
`the patient
`to walk while the leg is encased-in the cast
`and when weight-bearing ambulation is allowed. See also
`cast.
`aninherited cardiac disorder charac-
`long QT syndrome,
`terized by prolongation of the Q-T interval. The disorderis
`associated with ventricular tachycardia, cardiac arrhythmias,
`syncope, and sudden death. Syncopal episodes often occur —
`during physical exercise in young, otherwise healthy per-
`sons.

`long-scale contrast,
`a high-kilovolt radiographic image
`containing a wide range and great numberof shades of gray
`with little difference in the adjacent tones.
`long-term care (LTC),
`the provision of medical, social,
`and personalcare services on a recurring or continuing basis
`to persons with chronic physical or mental disorders. The
`care may be provided in environments ranging from institu-
`tions to private homes. Long-term care services usually in-
`clude symptomatic treatment, maintenance, and rehabilita- _
`tion for patients of all age groups.
`sensations,
`long-term memory,
`the ability to recall
`events, ideas, and other information for long periods of time
`without apparenteffort. It is generally the last memory store
`to be destroyed in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Com-
`pare short-term memory.
`long thoracic nerve,
`one of a pair of supraclavicular
`branches from the roots of the brachial plexus. It arises by
`three roots, from the fifth, the sixth, and the seventh cervical
`nerves. Thefibers from the fifth and the sixth cervical nerves _
`join just after they pierce the scalenus mediusand are united
`_
`with the fibers from the seventh cervical nerve at the level of
`the first rib. Compare phrenic nerve.
`long thoracic nerve injury,
`damage to the nerve (C5-7)
`that innervates the serratus muscle, which anchors the apex
`of the scapula to the posterior of the rib cage. Symptomsin-
`_
`clude an abnormally prominent scapula and difficulty in
`flexing the outstretched arm above the shoulder level, pro-
`tracting the shoulder, or performing scapula abduction and _
`adduction.
`neurologic signs suchas clonus, muscle
`long tract signs,
`spasticity, or bladder involvementthat usually indicatea le-
`sion in the middle or upperparts of the spinal cordor in the
`brain.
`trademark for an antihypertensive (minoxidil).

`loop [ME,loupe],
`a set of instructions in a computer pro-
`gram that causes certain commandsto be executed repeat-
`edly if specified criteria are met.
`loop colostomy [ME,
`loupe + Gk, kolon, colon, stoma,
`mouth],
`a type of temporary colostomy performedas part
`of the surgical treatment for repair of some colondiseases.
`The procedure involves bringing an intact segmentof colon
`anterior to the repair through an abdominalincision and su-
`turing it onto the abdomen. A loop is formed and held in po-
`sition by placing a piece of glass rod between the segment
`and the abdomen. The two ends of the rod are connected
`with a piece of rubber tubing to prevent the rod from slip-
`ping. The stomal opening is made on theexterior surface of
`the segment. The colostomy is reversed after resolution of
