| whole-body counting | Measurement of radioactivity in the entire human body. (12 Dec 1998) |
| scintillation counting | Technique for measuring quantity of a radioactive isotope present in a sample. In biology, liquid scintillation counting is mainly used for emitters such as (14)C, (35)S and 32)P and particularly for the low energy emission of 3H. Gamma emissions are often measured by counting the scintillations that they cause in a crystal. Autoradiographic images can be enhanced by using a screen of scintillant behind the film. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Zappert counting chamber | A special, standardised glass slide used for counting cells (especially erythrocytes and leukocytes) and other particulate material in a measured volume of fluid; the central portion is precisely ground in such a manner that the uniformly flat surface is exactly 0.1 mm lower than that of two parallel ridges on which a special, uniformly flat coverslip may be placed; accurately etched lines on the flat central portion form the boundaries of groups of squares of known areas, thereby providing the basis for determining the volume of fluid in which the cells are counted. Glass slides of this type are frequently known as haemocytometers. (05 Mar 2000) |
| palmar surface of fingers | The flat of the fingers; the flexor or anterior surface of the fingers. Synonym: facies digitalis ventralis, facies digitalis palmaris, ventral surface of digit. (05 Mar 2000) |
| clubbed fingers | <clinical sign> A condition which describes the broadening or thickening of the tips of the fingers (and toes) with increased lengthwise curvature of the nail and a decrease in the angle normally seen between the cuticle and the fingernail. Often this finding on physical examination can be quite subtle and easily overlooked. Clubbing may be seen in a wide variety of conditions - most of which result in a decrease in blood oxygen. Examples include: tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of the great vessels, atrial myxomas, cystic fibrosis, emphysema, lung cancer, tuberculosis, cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, Hodgkin's disease, cirrhosis, chronic active hepatitis and Crohn's disease. This finding will generally provoke a more detailed patient evaluation. (11 Nov 1997) |
| waxy fingers | Impaired digital circulation, possibly a mild form of Raynaud's disease, marked by a purplish or waxy white colour of the fingers, with subnormal local temperature and paresthesia. Synonym: dead fingers, waxy fingers. Origin: acro-+ G. Asphyxia, stoppage of the pulse (05 Mar 2000) |
| webbed fingers | Two or more finger's united and enclosed in a common sheath of skin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| web of fingers/toes | One of the folds of skin, or rudimentary web, between the fingers and toes. Synonym: interdigital folds, plica interdigitalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| whale fingers | An infection caused by erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae that is almost wholly restricted to persons who in their occupation handle infected fish, shellfish, poultry, or meat. Three forms of this condition exist: a mild localised form manifested by local swelling and redness of the skin; a diffuse form that might present with fever; and a rare systemic form associated with endocarditis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| white fingers | An occupational disease occurring in operators of pneumatic hammers who are exposed to cold. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sausage fingers | The thick, short finger's of acromegaly; symmetric, diffusely swollen finger's; an early change in systemic sclerosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hippocratic fingers | See: clubbing. (05 Mar 2000) |
| seal fingers | An infection caused by erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae that is almost wholly restricted to persons who in their occupation handle infected fish, shellfish, poultry, or meat. Three forms of this condition exist: a mild localised form manifested by local swelling and redness of the skin; a diffuse form that might present with fever; and a rare systemic form associated with endocarditis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| spade fingers | The course, thick finger's of acromegaly or myxoedema. (05 Mar 2000) |
