| Lambert's law | Each layer of equal thickness absorbs an equal fraction of the light that traverses it; Cf.: Beer-Lambert law. The illumination of a surface on which the light falls normally from a point source is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Lambert's syndrome | <syndrome> A condition characterised by muscle weakness that is similar to the symptoms of myasthenia gravis. For this reason, it has been referred to as myasthenic syndrome. This disorder is caused by an insufficient release of neurotransmitter (acetylcholine) by the nerve cells. Unlike myasthenia gravis, as muscle contractions are continued, strength will increase. The cause of Lambert-Eaton syndrome is unknown, but is usually associated with small cell carcinoma of the lung or an autoimmune illness. (27 Sep 1997) |

| lambert-eaton myasthenic syndrome | <neurology> An acquired autoimmune disease characterised by weakness and fatigability of proximal muscles, particularly of the pelvic girdle and thighs, with relative sparing of extraocular and bulbar muscles. It is often associated with small cell carcinoma of the lung. The neuromuscular defect in this disease is believed to be due to a deficient release of acetylcholine. (08 Mar 2000) |

| lambing paralysis | A highly fatal metabolic disease of well-nourished ewes in the late stages of pregnancy, especially in ewes carrying twin lambs; it is caused by carbohydrate depletion of the blood and tissues, and is characterised by hypoglycaemia, ketonuria, fatty infiltration of the liver, rapid emaciation, coma, and a high death rate. Synonym: lambing paralysis, lambing sickness. (05 Mar 2000) |
