| point system test types | A near-vision test chart in which the various test types are multiples of a point (1/72 inch), lower-case letters being one-half the designated point size; reading 4-point at 16 inches is normal, and is designated N-4. (05 Mar 2000) |

| hydatiform mole: types | <radiology> Complete/classical mole, fertilization of an empty egg; diploid karyotype (paternal XX), no foetal parts; no chorionic membrane, 20% malignant complete mole with coexistent foetus (2%), molar degeneration of an identical twin partial mole, areas of molar change alternating with normal chorionic villi, triploid karyotype (66% XXY; 33% XXX), early onset of preeclampsia, foetal structures present (e.g., placenta), no malignant potential see: hydatiform mole (12 Dec 1998) |
| Snellen's test types | Square black symbols employed in testing the acuity of distant vision; the letters vary in size in such a way that each one subtends a visual angle of 5' at a particular distance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stomach cell types | <radiology> Parietal (oxyntic), in fundus and body, may lead to HCl (acid) and intrinsic factor, chief, in fundus and body, may lead to pepsinogen, G-cells, in antrum, mucus? (12 Dec 1998) |
| oesophageal carcinoma: types | <radiology> Histologic types: squamous cell carcinoma (95%), adenocarcinoma (4%), 70% from Barrett oesophagus, carcinosarcoma = pseudosarcoma = spindle cell squamous cell carcinoma, usually middle 1/3 of oesophagus, large, polypoid, smooth, intramural mass; may be pedunculated, mucoepidermoid carcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma radiologic types: polypoid/fungating form (most common), sessile/pedunculated tumour with lobulated surface, applecore lesion, ulcerating form, infiltrating form, gradual narrowing with smooth transition (Differential diagnosis: benign stricture), varicoid form: superficial spreading carcinoma, thickened nodular tortuous longitudinal folds (Differential diagnosis: varices) (12 Dec 1998) |
