Definition of tetanus in English:

tetanus

noun ˈtɛt(ə)nəsˈtɛtnəs

mass noun

1A bacterial disease marked by rigidity and spasms of the voluntary muscles.
This disease is caused by the bacterium Clostridium tetani; Gram-positive anaerobic rods
See also trismus
Example sentencesExamples
- A study in Benin failed to show that vaccination for diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, and polio was associated with reduced mortality from other conditions.
- Processed plasma is also used to help produce stronger antibodies against diseases like tetanus, hepatitis, chickenpox and rabies.
- Many vaccines are given in childhood, but adults still need to be routinely vaccinated to prevent some illnesses, such as tetanus and influenza.
- A variety of treatments, from vitamins to alpha and beta adrenergic receptor blockers, have been suggested for tetanus.
- Some bacteria, such as those that cause tetanus and diphtheria, produce powerful toxins.
- The bacteria that causes tetanus can be found in dirt, potting soil, and manure, and can enter the body through any simple wound.
- Use of the DTaP vaccine has virtually eliminated diphtheria and tetanus in childhood and has markedly reduced the number of pertussis cases.
- So I dutifully checked my vaccinations were up-to-date - typhoid, tetanus, hepatitis A and all the rest - and resigned myself to six weeks of malaria tablets.
- Some vaccines, such as tetanus and pertussis, don't provide lifelong immunity.
- In the UK, it is possible to catch the disease tetanus from a bite such as a dog bite, although this is now very rare.
- Typical immunisations for a traveller will include a booster for polio and tetanus, and immunisation against hepatitis A and typhoid.
- From October babies in the UK will be given a five-in-one vaccine to protect them against polio, diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough and Hib, a virus which can lead to meningitis.
- Her patients ranged from the poorest of the poor to the wife and daughter of a Maharaja, and she dealt with cases of tetanus, rabies, malaria, and cholera, as well as more routine medicine and surgery.
- Sometimes, the first and only sign of tetanus is a spasm of the muscles nearest to the infected wound.
- For nearly 50 years Australian babies have been routinely vaccinated against diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus.
- Farm animals are guarded against anthrax, tetanus, and other disease by antibiotics or vaccines developed by animal based research.
- For several bacterial diseases, such as diphtheria and tetanus, physicians can prevent the illness by immunizing people against the microbes' toxins.
- If you haven't been vaccinated at all against tetanus and diphtheria then you do need a primary course of three doses and then followed up with two booster doses ten years apart.
- We are equipped with antitoxin and a vaccine to prevent the disease, yet tetanus continues to be a major public health problem throughout much of the developing world.
- As part of the preparation, everybody on the recovery team was vaccinated against diseases, such as hepatitis B and tetanus.
2Physiology
The prolonged contraction of a muscle caused by rapidly repeated stimuli.
Example sentencesExamples
- As we normally use our muscles, the individual fibers go into tetanus for brief periods rather than simply undergoing single twitches.
- The onset kinetics of this slow signal were slightly modified in nominally calcium-free medium, as were both the frequency and number of pulses during tetanus.
- At 50 shocks per second, the muscle goes into the smooth, sustained contraction of tetanus.

Derivatives

tetanize

verb ˈtɛt(ə)nʌɪzˈtɛtnˌaɪz

[with object]

Medicine

Affect with tetanus or tetanic spasms.
60% of the medial path synapses were tetanized
Example sentencesExamples
- However, isometric contraction in intact asynchronous IFM tetanized by electrical or nerve stimulation has also been well demonstrated by other studies.
- Additional evidence cited against an effect on the contractile proteins is the fact that the maximum force generated by cardiac tissue tetanized in ryanodine is not increased by catecholamines.
- Therefore it is critical that all muscle cells be activated simultaneously; if not, the muscle would become functionally tetanized and stiff, and could not power cyclic contractions.

tetanoid

adjective

Death occurs in animals by paralysis of respiration, - but in man there seems to be a tetanoid spasm of the cardiac muscle, which is equally dangerous to life.
Example sentencesExamples
- The neuro muscular tensions altered m such a way that they show a prolonged way of reaction with paroxysmal discharges and tetanoid states.
- There has also been reported a bitter principle that acts on the central nervous system and produces tetanoid convulsions.
- An isoquinoline alkaloid derived from the mother liquor of morphine; it causes tetanoid convulsions, with action similar to that of strychnine.

Origin

Late Middle English: from Latin, from Greek tetanos 'muscular spasm', from teinein 'to stretch'.
